Ernest Forbes Hanged.

Ernest Forbes, the colored boy who
committed an outrage on Miss Bertha
Phipps at the farm of her uncle, in Anne
Arundel county, in November last. was
hanged at Annapolis on Friday last. =
Forbes was tried and convicted in the
Criminal Court of Baltimore, in January
last The testimony was of the most
damaging kind, as Miss Phipps posi-
lively identified Forbes as her assalant.
The defense tried to prove an abb, bu'
the testimony was very weak, aud the
jury found Forbes guilty on the first
ballot, and without being out five min
utes. Miss Phipps has since the assault
become Mrs. John Griffith.

The object of the IiiSs stiou law is to
cheek undesirable immigration of any
sort; but especially an influx Of contract
labor based on the poverty which pre-
walls in May portions Of Europe. and
with which American labor cannot fair
ly compete. Several attempts have
been made by different Congresses to ac-
comPlish this object, the latest prior to
the present law. having been enacted by
a Democratic Congress, bu. they failed
10 remedy the evil. II is believed shat
the new law will be ample for the
purpose.
Provision is made for promptly as
pertaining the conditions under which
the immigrants have been shipped to
this country: and not only are the steam
ship companies bringing them here con-
trary to law compelled to carry them
home again, but their agents are subject
to fine and imprisonment for violation
of the law, and the immigrants them
selves are regarded as violators Of the
law. The steamship companies are for
hidden to solicit immigrants destined
for this country, and advertising agents
are also prohibited. This probably in
cludes immigration agents sent from the
st ties and disposes of tie scheme strength
ening the politicians in Maryland, which
is brought forward whenever the legis-
lature meets r1der the ostensible plea Of
an immigration bureau.
Immigrants arc, under the new law,
subject to espionage for a year after they
reach this country, and if, During that
time, they become a charge on the com
munity, they can be arrested and sent
back to Europe. The law appears to be
unusually complete in its provisions,
and. if faithfully executed, will accom-
plish its purpose. Il does not contem-

Of the mo-e desirable class Of foreigners,
such as have capital, energy or brains,
and will be more likely to al vance than
to retar1 the material interests of the
community; and owing to the conditions
now prevailing in Europe, immigration
Of this class bids fair to be as great this
year as during any previous period.
The people Of this country have for
years protested against the unloading Of
foreign paupers, lunatics, criminals and

|. 1t was expected that there would be
considerable excitement overthe school
election which took place to-day in
consequence Of the recent discussion
that had taken place. As il was how
ever, everything passed of very quiet
ly up to noon. At that hour 300 votes
had been deposited in the wooden bal
lot box at the Court House under the
supervision Of the following named
commissioners; G. y. Pitzer, John
Perryman, John w. Pitzer, DIR. w. HI.
Henshaw and j. /. Mcdonald. There
were two tickets in the field.
One was headed Martinsburg School
District and contained the following
names: 3rd Ward, Phil. II. Sayles
4th Ward, Il. G. Deck 9th Ward, Ed
ward Barton.
The other read Martinsburg Inde-
pendent School District and the candi-
dates were, Third Ward, r. G. Hunter
Fourth Ward, Charles r. Shaffer
Fifth Ward, George 4. Gaver.
It looked as If a good many Of tho
voters were exercising considerable in
dependence and were voting about as
they pleased. Stickers were used
freely ON both tickets and II will be a
very hard matter to make any estimate
until the count is concluded.

BIG BANK CRASH.
THE MAVERICK NATIONAL BANK OF
BOSTON FORCED TO CLOSE
IT'S DOORS.

Especial to THE woHID.l


BosToN, November .. The doors Of
the Maverick National Bank closed
to-day. This means that the most
prominent financial institution in New
England has been forced to suspend
payment.
The blow fell suddenly. 1t had
been anticipated to certain extent,
and for this reason it can be positively
stated that the failure will not entail
any widespread financial evils.
Some idea Of the extent Of the fail
ure can be CLEANED from the fact that
ten days ago the deposits in the bank
amounted to- more than $40, 900. 900,
the bank depositors numbering more
than 800, and individual depositors
about 300.
But the most sensational feature of
the failure is the announcement that
as far back as January last Bank Elk
aminer Magruder reported to Mr..
Lacy, Comptroller of the Currency,
that the bank was in bad condition.
Again in September Mr.. Magruder re-
ported to the Comptroller of the cur
rency that the bank was rotten, In
spite Of these warnings the bank was
permitted to continue in business.
1t is a reproduction Of the Infamous
Keystone Bank robbery. To-day
Bank Examiner Magruder dropped
dead of heart disease, incidental to the
mental excitement over the pending
exposure.
The losses Of the Maverick National
Bank are estimated at upwards Of ST.
600, 900, which wipes out the reported
surplus and undivided profits Of ST.
600, 900, the capital Of S400, 900, andall
of the 100 per cent. assessment that the
shareholders may be called upon to
contribute.
Asa P. Potter, president, and Col.
Jonas Fl. French and Thomas Dana,
directors of the Maverick National
Bank, were arrested by United States
marshals tonight, the former at his
summer residence in Cohasset, and the
latter two at their residences in this
city. The warrants, it is understood,
charge embezzlement and violation Of
the United States banking laws, which
forbid loans by national bank to any
single individual amounting to more
than ten per cent. Of its capital stock.

CHICAGO, November 3.-0fficers at
Army Headquarters are brushing up
their Spanish and studying the fortifi-
cations of Chill in anticipation of a
possible brush with the Chilians.
Valparaiso is better fortified than
any city of this country said Capt.
Maus, one of Gen. Miles's aids, to-day.
"The shore of the city presents half
circle, and along the entire front are
planted batteries of modern nine-inch
Krupp guns that would make it ex-
ceedingly lively for any American
cruiser that attempted to shell the
town. The Chilians also possess the
secret of the manufacture of smokeless
powder and have an almost unlimited
supply of modern carbines and rifles.
"We could no doubt take Chill in
time.n he said. "but in my opinion
they would make it lively for us at
first. The Chilians are terrible fighters.
They once threatened to lombard San
Francisco, and a people that would do
that are not cowardly.'
