OF course, our San Francisco contem-
porary is excusable for not knowing any
thing about the solid chunks of humor
that lie behind this passage. In one Of
his old time reports Mr.. Mortimer
started in to give solid "black eye" to
certain sections Of Los Angeles county.
In his report to the home Office he
solemnly warned Englishmen to have
nothing to do with lands in Antelope
valley, in the northern portion of this
county. These lands were then selling
for from 81 to $3.50 an acre. At the
same time that he was engaged in pre-
venting his people from making any
where from two hundred to one thou
sand per cent. on an investment Of
two or three years the profits
would average seventy five per
cent. a year if the lands were still held
by the original purchasers at the prices
that can now be obtained for them-this
same British vice consul was doing all
in his power, for large fee, to consum-
mate the sale of the Rose ranch to
British syndicate whose promoters had
the good business sense to grease" that
official. He would probably prefer to
hear the operation dignified by sweeter
phrase, but we believe, with Samuel
Johnson, in calling spade spade.
This Rose sale was the most disastrous
to English Investors of any syndicate
operation that has come under our OBJ

A BIG ENTERPRISE.

Mammoth Corporate Enterprise with
Men OF National Reputation at Its Head,
Formed for the Industrial Development
OF East Tennessee-The Town of Mid
dlesborough Offered as Sample of the
Company's Intentions and Expectations
English Capital Largely Interested.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 24-One of
the largest, if not the largest of incorpo-
rated enterprises ever entered into in
the south, has just been organized in
this city under the laws of Tennessee.
1t is to be known as s'The Corporate
Town Co. of Knoxville, Tenn" 1t has
for its object the foundation of great
manufacturing city in the healthy high
lantao-O1-s r-st Tennessee, which are so
wealthy Ii amber, iron, coal and other
mineral aud agricultural resources, suf-
hclent to support large industrial popu-
lations. The capital stock is S10,000,-
600; shares 500, distributed in small
holdings throughout the entire country.
Two hundred thousand dollars of this
amount is already subscribed and paid
In. The company will control millions
Tor purposes of development, such as
building and owning street railroads,
gas works, furnaces, electric lights and
telephones, and homes for artisans of
every description.
The history of the Middlesborough
town may be taken as illustrative of
the future possibility of this new ven
ture on such a large basis. The town
OF Middlesborough two years ago had
only fifty inhabitants and four houses.
1t now has 1000 inhabitants and the
company owns property to the value
of millions The stock of the Middles-
borough company sold two years ago
in the English market at five pounds
sterling per share. 1t now commands
e25. Their property is situated near
Cumberland Gap, where English capi-
talists have invested within the last
two or three years $1,000, 900. 1t is in
this vicinity principally that ''Yhe Cor
porate Town Co., of Tennessee" will
organize and develop a new industrial
town.
The president of this new enterprise
is Hon. Robert p. Porter, superintend-
ent of census, and eX-Congressman Nc
Comas, of Maryland, is vice-president.
The directors are United States Sena-
tors John G. Carlisle, of kentucky;
Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee; ii. c.
Hansbrough, of North Dakota; ex-Rep-
resentative Benz. Butterworth, of
Ohio; Austin Davis, of Chicago; Judge
Love and w. p. Love, of Tennessee; ;.

of this city. The latter gentleman is
treasurer of the company,

BANK CLOSED.

The Doors of the Washington National
Bank of New York Closed-The Bank
Capital Badly Impaired by Reckless
Loans Made by the President on Worth
less Collateral.
New YORK, March 24.-The Washing
ton national bank at No. Broadway,
closed its doors at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, as it had been discovered
that its capital had been impaired.
The bank examiner will take charge to-
day, and the banks affairs will proba-
bly, be wound up. Sidel Tllghman,
director of the bank, said the irregu-
larities in the banks affairs was
first discovered about week ago.
After cursory examination on Satur-
day last it was found that the impair
ment was in the neighborhood of SO,
900. This sum was to have been made
good by the directors yesterday, but
yesterday morning President Sherman
informed the directors that the impair
ment was larger than had been discov-
cred, and would aggregate about s60,-
900 more than it was thought to be- 1t
was then decided to discontinue busl-
ness.
Director Tilghman declares that the
depositors will be paid in full. 1t was
learned that the banks money had been
loaned out by the president to friends
on poor and worthless collateral Presi-
dent Sherman had the full confidence OF
the directors. When the complete an
nouncement of the banks condition had
been made he disappeared, no one knows

AFTER THE LYNCHERS.

AttOrney-GeneraI Rogers of Louisiana will
Proceed Against the Self-Apponted Ex-
ecutioners of the Sicilians in New Or
leans if He Can Get the Grand jury to
Take Action in the Matter.
NEW ORLEANS, March 24.-Two in
dictments were returned by the grand
jury last night, supposedly against men
who were concerned in the bribery of
the jury which failed to convict tho
murderers of Chief Hennessy. Attorney
General Rogers will go before the grand
jury to-day. and will call Il large num-
Der of witnesses who were present at
the preliminary meeting of the mob
around the Clay statue, and who saw
some of the scenes at the parish prison.
Il want to say" Attorney-General
Rogers said yesterday, that l am not
in sympathy with that uprising. ! re-
gard it as deplorab BILE affair, and if in
dictments are returned / mean to fight
to the bitter end. | do not believe in
mob violence as means of enforcing
the law. 1t may be true that the jury
in the Hennessy case was bribed, but
that does not justify the mob in assum
ing the right to execute the law. | am
in possession of enough evidence to
justify me in proceeding at once if ]
can get the grand jury to help me-
The attorney generals proposed ac-
ton is regarded as a reflection on Gov
Nichols position. The governor,
though he was in New Orleans the
day of the uprising, and has been here
ever since has not once given voice to
his opinion about the lynching.

Capt. Rutherford's Secret Marriage.

The arrival at Atlanta, Ga, of the re-
mains of Capt. John c. Rutherford,
who died at Marion, Ga, cleared up
quite mystery in his life. Years ago
Mr.. Rutherford married a well-known
Georgia lady, by whom he had two
daughters, who are now society bellies.
Later he parted from his wife, and a di-
vorce was obtained. Several months
ago Capt. Rutherford went to his Flor
ida orange grove, where he was de-
tanned by the sickness which re-
suited in his death. Only
few weeks before his death his
friends were astonished when notified
that he had married Mrs. Carroll, of
Virginia. There was curiosity as to
who Mrs. Carroll was. 1t was made
public that Mrs. Carroll had really been
his wife for over ten years. Shortly
after his trouble with his first wife he
visited New York City, where he met
Mrs. Carroll, fashionable Richmond
lady, and married her. The marriage
was kept secret in order to avoid un-
pleasant gossip which the announce
ment might bring out.
