RESCUE OF TIE BARINGs.
The Whole Banking World Rallying
to the Firms Aid


LONDON, Nov. IL. A. M-The Scotch
banks will hold a meeting to-day for the
purpose of adding to the Bsrings' guaran tee
fund. The whole banking world has
shown alacrity in subscribing, and when
all the provincial aud other subscriptions
have arrived the total will be such sum as
will make the whole incident "A brilliant
triumph for the organizers Of the fund.
The firms books have been before the Bank
of England managers for week.
Besides $4,000 surplus the estates of
the partners represent immense potential
resources, but although the firm could have
mot its liabilities for at least another month
it was decided to disclose its position
in order TO avert the risk Of q general
breakdown of credit, piunging the whole
country into trouble. Another large firm
called a meeting of it's chief connections on
Saturday, and submitted statement which
etfectually removed any grounds for sus.
picion that might have been entertained.
There are rumors of radical change in
the personnel Of the firm of Barring Bros.
ENGLAND AFTER GOLD.
BERLIN, Nov. 16.-A Berlin st. Peters

the Russian government, which, alarmed by
the financial trouble IN the Argentine Re

of that institution, and the collapse of the

trouble occurred, and 42500,000 was
quietly transferred to Berlin. After this.
things apparently regained their former
smCothness.
KEPT A SECRET.
The governor of the Bank of England
acted with exceeding discretion, keeping
everything as secret as possible in order to
avoid panic. The Bariugs offered to sac
rifice everything, but the unavoidable delay
in realizing would have been almost equiv
alert to an actual collapse, and for this
reason it was decided TO raise guarantee
fund.
It is rumored that Russias agent in Paris
withdrew recently g2,500,000 on a rumor
that the Barings had stopped payment
The assets of the Barings include 97,000,.

believed that three years will be ample
time to bring the firms affairs to sub

All the morning papers, while regrettinq
that the great name has been brought SO

the Bank of England has earned the thanks

Some of these deputies are very smart in
their work. The work, Of course, all sorts
OF ruses when they are out capturing moon
sinners. They are never known on the
trains except to the conductors and the
newsboys. With these il Is a secret You
might as well try to make a mule talk as
make neSsboy give away a secret and
the conductors mouths are sealed 10 ''all
such" The other night in Macon, eleven
deputies went down TO make an arrest in
the Hall conspiracy case, and nobody
knew of it until the work was done. News
paper men flocked about the train, on the
lookout fer something of the kind, but the
sly deputies were snugly tucked in bed, in
dark sleeping car.
They give fictitious names TO the porter
at times, and nobody is able to tell by the
Porter's card that any of the passengers are
deputy United States marshals.
The men in the southern district are
stationed about in different parts of the
district Some are in Savannah, some are
at Naldosta, Waycross, Townsville,
Americas and the rest at Macon. On every
warrant issued the deputy who has 10 issued
gets his fee. The man, therefore, who
gets the most warrants out makes
the most money. The warrants have
TO be passed upon by the United States
district attorney. and IL is said that he Is
very cautious, and does not permit an in
discriminate issuing of warrants. Marshall
Corbetts chief deputy now is the Swedish
count, who lived for n time in Savannah.
Oscar Arfwedson has been in the marshalps
office for good many years, and, 1t Is said,
thoroughly understands the work Of chief
deputy.
Tho life of both marshal and his depu-
ties Is anything but pleasant. There was
time in Georgia when the deputies had to
Da mighty DrnUA and md
shrewd If they captured any Of the North
Georgia moonshiners. On the border line
OF Tennessee lived desperate set of men,
who made whisky openly and above board.
Along the Chattahoochee river, on tho line
of Georgia and Alabama, in the northwest
ern part of the state, the same reckless
lawless set were encamped, and they found
time to tote weapons on all occasions to
weed out" the revenue men,
HOW A RIOT WAS AVOIDED.
In lower county, some months ago,
Marshal Corbett and deputy arrested a
farmer for Illicit distilling, and the country
men were in the act of rescuing the citizen
at the peril Of their lives when a freight
train came along and picked the marshal
and his men up aud carried them into
Macon. The deputies. and the marshal
himself, for that matter have to be always
guarded when they are moving
about in the country. They are all clever
men, but their occupation is not one that is
looked upon with much favor. The moon
sinners were probably moro favorably in-
cllDed TO the late Lucius Lamar than TO any
other marshal, because he was identified
with the countrymen, but their dislike for
the internal revenue law has never ahated
materially, and they will always be "agin
it." Deputies recognize this, and that is
why marshals are so particular in choosing
their assistants. And this accounts for
their shrew and skill. u. ID. Il.

Settlers Along the Border of the Res

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 16.-A special to the
Tribune from Mandan says: "Settlers
living on the border of the Sioux reserva-
tion bring stories of the armiug of the
Indians, which are borne out
by Joseph Buckley, who speaks
their language. Buckley came in to-day,
and says that every Indian on. the reserva-
ton will shortly go on the warpath, and
that they have got possession of Clusters
rifles, which the United States armv have
never found. Local hardware mon have in
the last few days sold their entire stock of
ammunition to the Indians. The Indians
say that if they are unsuccessful in the raid
thay will get double rations, and they have
nothing to lose.
THE CITIZENS ALARMED.
"The citizens here and settlers, who are
unprotected, believe that Gen Ruger and
the Indian authorities are harboring a feel
ing of false security, and that when too
late the number of troops at Fort Lincoln
will be increased. The mayor of Mandan
has called meeting, and the war depart
ment will be asked to furnish the citizens
with guns, if not with soldiers. Many
settlers between Mandan and the reserva-

ranches because of the lack of protection
afforded them by the government. The

A NEW RUBE BURROWS.
THE GEORGIA ROAD TRAIN AGAIN
BOARDED BY A ROBBER.

The Express Messenger Claims to
Have Exchanged Shots With Him.
No Evidence Left Where He Is Re-
ported to Have Jumped From the
Train-A Witness Dies.
AUGUSTA, Ca, Nov. lG-Last Sunday
bo tn night trains on the Georgia road be-
tween Augusta and Atlanta were robbed OF
express matter. Last night the train from
here for Atlanta met the same fate. Ex-
press Messenger Corput of Atlanta, who is
In the place of one of the messengers who
were robbed, was in his carNunsuspecting any
danger. Above Messina man entered and
commanded him TO open the safe. There
are two stories of the robbery. One is that
Corput refused TO comply. at the same time
drawing his revolver, whereupon the rob
ber fired, the ball penetrating his hat, but
not touching the messenger, who returned
the shot, Corpat thinks he hit the robber,
as there are spots of blood on the car
floor.
A LACK OF EVIDENCE.
Detectives and express officials visited
the scene. but, strange to say, can find no
evidence of where the man Jumped from
Ano II Hb ~ hb Ill. NsOFUub
reached Atlanta this morning, and his story
cannot be positively known here. Another
account of the affair is that the robber
covered tho messenger with a pistol and
commanded him TO open the safe and hand
out the money, which Corput proceeded TO
do.
THE EXCHANGE OF SHOTS.
Quickly drawing his pistol, while appar-
emily obeying the robber, he reached
around to his left side and fired through his
coat, hitting the man, who in turn fired,
sending ball through the messengers hat,
and fed. The condition OF the ground along
where the robbery occurred is soft. and the
trainmen say that man could
not have jumped without leaving
footprints and evidences of where ne landed,
but none are TO be found. Tho whole affair
is wrapped in mystery. as the robbers Of
last weeks trains have not been arrested,
but it Is reported that they have been spot
ted and were traced TO Augusta yesterday.
DEATH OF A WITNESS.
Vast night Reeves Turnell of Greensboro,
Ga, who saw suspicious parties on the
trains which were robbed last week, died Of
congestion of the bowels at the Arlington
hotel. He had been sick but a couple of days,
and was in the city for the purpose of assist
