FINANCIAL TROUBLES.

Excitement Prevails Concerning the Montgom-
cry National Bank of NorrIstown, Pa.
NoRRIsTowN, Pa, May 5.-There was
considerable excitement about the Mont
gomery national bank this afternoon
when the doors of the bank were opened
The officers of the bank and the Mont
gomery insurance, trust and deposit
company are all in the same building.
One man this morning made deposit at
the bank of SIS, 900, and other depositors
brought out in cash, SO that the deposits
almost equalled the Withdrawals. The
trust company had a heavy run, and
about half past 10 O'Clock suspended
payment, awaiting the promised arrival
of cash. At 'clock this afternoon it
had not yet arrived. An official says If
the money is received, all right; if not,
a receiver may be necessary. He said
the depositors we're amply secured, all
that is needed Is time 10 realize on secu-
rites.
LATER-Payment was resumed by the
trust company. The impression among
conservative financiers Is that the bank
is entirely sound, but that the trust COM
pany is considerably involved. The Of
ficials refuse to give any figures or def
mite information. A member of the
wealthy SlIngluff-F Fairly bank declares
that they will be responsible for every
loss to outside parties from William f.
Slingluff's inanciering.

have served him in creating the impress
sion he is so anxious to create, he keeps
them up. Miller has not been regularly
educated, but he has the rudiments. He
can certainly spell, and he has read
much, particularly poetry. He is sat-
urated with Byron, Browning and Ten
nyson, as 1t is easy TO see by his own
verses. Nor is he, in any sense, a child
of nature, as he pretends. He is, on the
contrary, entirely sophisticated. One
phase of his shrewdness is his method of
advertising himself, which, shallow as It
may appear, has proved effective in his
case. He is by no means so foolish as
his affectations would indicate; he is,
indeed, the very reverse.

AFFAIRS ABROAD.
The Press Points with Pride TO the
Great Labor Demonstration
Of Sunday.
Two Thousand Postmen Participated Charles
Bradlaugh to speak-Michael Dayitt's
Libel Case-Fatal Accident.
Demonstration Comments.

Demonstration COmmeuSSs
Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, May although the gov
eminent organs seek 10 minimize the
importance Of yesterdays gigantic labor
demonstration, all of the newspapers
unite in praising the conduct of the
workingmen and pointing with pride to
the general good order which pre-
vailed, at the same time call
ing attention to the turbulence
which has almost without exception
characterized similar manifestations on
the continent. Conservative papers
greatly underestimate the numerical
strength of the gathering, and are in
clined to ascribe the present agitation for
an eight hour day and the amelioratlon
of the condition of workingmen in other
respects to the causes for which the pres
ent government is in no way re-
sponsible, but is anxious to modify
or remove. As to the probable results OF
the demonstration these journals pro-
TESS to believe that they will be small
in comparison with the extent of the de-
mands, but there is no doubt that the
country has been profoundly impressed
with the magnitude of the meeting, the
admirable bearing of the men and the
justice of many of their grievances.
THE PosTMENs' ACTION.
One of the most interesting Ques tons
growing out of the demonstration is
what, if any, will be the action of POST
master General Rsiker in regard to
1000 postmen who marched in the
procession as an organized body.
The rules of the postoffice departm emit
are very strict in prohibiting the union
izing OF its employees, aud they have
hitherto kept aloof from public meetings
and other manifestations in the interest
of labor, except as individuals. Their
action yesterday is regarded as piece OF
defiance of which the department must
take some notice.

Burns to debate the eight hour question,

Houston, Tex. May 1.-THE reports
of high waters show no change for the

the overflow necessitates replant-

THE claws delays are doing much to
shake the confidence of The people in the
efficacy of law and often leads them into
grave errors and extravagant theories.
In the olden time people knew no better
than to submit to any delay the law I'M
posed upon them, and were satisfied if
their cases were decided in five or ten
years. 1t is different now. We live in
a fast age and men cannot wait; and +,
strange to say, the lawyers have not all
found this out. Justice and business in
terests frequently suffer because of an
apparent disposition of the courts to
shirk duty they owe to society.

IT is impossible 10 please everybody.
In fact, it never has been done. Provi-
dence has failed in the effort. The pro-
hibitionists were very much exercised
over the appointment of Judge Brewer
as one OF the associate justices of the SUI
preme court, and the liquor men were
well pleased. Since he dissented from
the opinion of the majority of the MEM
bers OF the court on the original package
case from Iowa the pros and liquor men
are agreed that they misjudged him.

Is wawkeen miller a Fraudq

ga paragraph is circulating to the
effect that Joaquin Miller frequently
makes slips in spelling. This would
seem 10 be severe reproach. but those
who know him will understand .he report
TO be an outcome of one of his many
preteuces. The currency of the story
will please him greatly, because it is the
direct product of his persistent efforts
10 appear to be what he knows
he is not. He is very fond of hum
bugging people. Ever since Miller re-
turned some twenty years ago, from Lon
don, where he succeeded by various IN
genuous devices in directing the attention
of the English to his poetry, he has
played dry-nurse to his own reputation,
He has done everything he could think
of to advertise himself, particularly By
affectation of eccentriclty. He has Ia
bored in season and out of season to get
the name OF gifted barbarian. With
this intention he has assumed to be with
out education or culture of any sort, TO
have grown up wild, while his
rare genius would not be suppressed.
He is continually telling his
acquaintance that he has never read
anything; that he scarcely knows how to
write; that he can t spell. etc. To give
color to this impression he claims to be
wholly ingnorant of books with which be
is familiar, and writes notes in wretched
scrawl with deliberate GEOGRAPHY. Nat
