 Churchill kept afoat til rescued by the crew of the yacht Elsie
 Churchill says he believes the yacht was capsized by strong current into which she passed at the moment of the accident. He thinks the current struck the keel sud denly, as the skipper threw the helm over to bring the yacht about, and the boat was thrown over. He says: II was sitting for ward with my children on the wash rail looking ahead. Idon't know what happen ed after that heard Burks say: "Well, l guess we'H gosabout.' I suppose he put the helm down, but I don't know. I sud denly found my yseif in the water. struck out for black sloop that was coming to- ward us and they picked me up" All those on board the unfortunate craft live in South Boston.

Conceded George. Election,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August S.-A special rom Ca nton, Miss, says: The report that Senator George is defeated in the primaries, is utterly without foundation. He failed to carry his County (CarrolD Wednesday, which was entirely due to . large fanatical Alliance majority. The vote stands to date: George 66, Barks- dale g. It requires ninety to elect and George is certain to get 120 instructed votes. Even Barksdale's friends concede Georges election, and their only hope now is to elect Barksdale as Walthalls sue cessor, which they cannot possibly do. It is not believed that the report of Senator Georges defeat originated in this State.

BANK DEPRECIATION.

The Ninth National Bank of New
 York Loses $4OO,OOO Through its
 President - Examiner HePburn's
 Statement.
 NEW YORK, April 2S.-The Ninth Ma tional bank has lost about $400, ,000 through the dedication of President John T. Hill, who died on March l, of consumption at the age of ffty-fve years. A few days ago the directors began an examination of the accounts revealing the loss, which further examination by Bank Examiner Hepburn and clearing house committee to night confirmed. Real estate of the bank which has not been counted in the assets will fill the hole and the bank continue, ,insolvent.
 It was midnight before Examiner Hep burn made the following statement: "An examination of the Ninth National bank reveals dedication of $400, ,000, chargea- l ble to its former president. While the | loss is serious, it does not impair the banks solvency, nor its ability to take | care of it's customers. Its assets, besides | the loss mentioned, are of good charac- ter, it's discount of exceptionally good char acter. The bank has owned for period of fifteen years eighty-fv acres of land in the Twenty third and Twenty-fourth wards of this city. As national banks are | not allowed to own real estate for other than banking purposes, and when taken for debt not longer than five years, this real estate was charged off and has moi appeared in the assets of the bank for many. years, during which period it has largely appreciated in value That is now restored at 8 valuation ol $500, ,000; competent appraisers value il much higher. As evidence that the bank valuation is fully warranted and within limits the directors have executed an agree ment to take the property at said valua tion. This bank has been unfortunate but it is perfectly sound, and is entitled tt and should receive the support of its de positors and the public"

THE BRITISH ADVANCE.
Capital of NIanfpur Believed to be
 Destroyed.

Capital of Manfpur Believed to be
 Destroyed.
 SIMLA, April 2S.-Further dispatches received here from the British columns ad- vancing on Manipur confirm the report that the Regent of Manipur (the Jobraj, or heir to the throne, who, with the Sera- puttee or commander-in-chief, deposed their brother, the Maharajah of Manipur), has fled to the hills in company with the prominent chiefs who assisted him in the revolt.
 A great fire has been seen in the direc- tion of the capital, and loud explosion which took place during the confagration appears to indicate that the capital has been destroyed.
 The dispatches received here yesterday stated that the British troops were within ten miles of Imphal, the capital of Mani pur, and that the city was to be taken, if possible, by assault at 5 o'clock this morn ing. The British column which was recently at Silchar (also known as Cachar), has en . gagged ard utterly routed the enemy at Bissenpur.
 It is not expected that there will be any further opposition of serious nature to l the advance of the British forces. General Graham's column on Saturday last surprised force of about 1000 Manipuris who were entrenched behind earthworks. They first cut off the retreat of the Manipuris and then charged on the entrenched position. A severe hand to hand fight followed. The enemy was com l pletely routed, losing 200 men. One Brit I ish officer was killed and four officers were l wounded.
 The British columns have entered Mani. pur, which they found to be totally de- serted. The magazine had been exploded and the palace wrecked and stripped of all of value. A ghastly sight was witnessed in an enclosure where the heads of Com missioner Quinton and others of the En- glish party were found. The rahjah Semaputty, princes and inhabitants had fled northeast by the only road of escape shortly before the arrival of the British Saturdays engagement being the fna ! struggle
