The California National.

In connection with the Cheyenne bank
suspension ANYTHING with reference to the
California National is necessarily of local
interest. The following dispatch was
published in the San Francisco Call Oh
Saturday. 1t shows that the condition of
affairs there is very similar to that pre-
vailing here-if anything a shade better.
All of this is encouraging:
SAN DIEGO, Nov. l3.-The suspension
of the California National bank continues,
%ofcourse, to be the absorbing theme of con-
versatIon. There were no new sensations
developed today There is no disposition
to lay IN particular blame on anybody.
and there is tonight a very general feel
ing that the situation is improving. The
three other banks met all demands with
their usual promptpess all day, and there
Is nothing to indicate that any failures
will follow the California banks trouble.

Public confidence in j. W. Collins, presi-
dent, and S. G. Havermale, one of the
best known directors. is very great and
the people believe that between them and
the many friends of the embarrassed in
~stitution everything will be brought
around all right. There was nothing in
the nature of a run on any of the other
banks during the day, and tie result is
that the public mind is comparatively
easy. During the night a SPECIAL
train arrived from Los Angeles
With n very large supply of
coin with which to fortify the banks here.
The presidents of three Los Angeles
banks were in the city all day investi-
eating the local banks and ~canvassing the
situation generally. They pronounce all
three institutions in a perfectly sound
condition, and they went north this even
ing. confident hat nothing further will
happen to seriously complicate the situa-
ton, 1t Is certain, beyond any doubt,
that the depositors will not lose a dollar
Bank Examiner W. Fl. Chamberlain
arrived this evening and will begin his
investigations tomorrow. A very good
feature of the situation is that George V.
Sims OF the Lombard Trust company Of
London, who came to this city to look
about for an investment for his company
and who expected to become interested in
several matters with President Collins.
examined the bank TODAY and declared
that if Bank Examiner Chamberlain will
give him authority to do so he will bring
out money enough from New York and
London to re-establish the bank on a
sounder basis than ever.

overdraft on his open account together
with his personal notes. The balance is
made up of notes to Collins from
different parties, which he had redis
counted at the Cheyenne National. The
property levied OF is very valuable but
the exact condition in which it is now in
nobody at present knows.
In addition to this attachment r. W.
Breckons. representing the Cowhick es-

the recovery of 81, 900, with interest at IL

one night recently William Tracy, who
lives with his wife and three children
on the second floor of 2 Phillips alley, was
awakened by q noise in the hall below. On
opening his door and seeing the stairway
full of smoke he ran down to the street,
where he met and seized a young nan
who was looking at the fire. In reply to
Iracy's questions he said he was a watch
man who had been attracted by the blaze.
He disappeared while Tracy was putting
out the flames.
An hour later a sailor named Dennis
O'Connor saw q man kindle a fire at the
door OF a stable. He stamped out the
burning brands and then called a police
man. The firebuR, who had run away
when he saw the sailor, was found by the
policeman in an alley in the rear OF the
stable. He was taken to the Fulton street
station, where he gave his name as John
McGowan, and said he was twenty-one
years old. He said he lived at 2l4 York
street, but the police say he has no home.
MCGOWAN denied that he had set fire to
the tenement or the stable, but when he
was confronted with Tracy, who positively
identified him as the man he saw in the
hallway, he broke down and made a full
confession. He told Detectives Kearney
and Noonan that he started the fire I'm the
tenement just for fun, aud that he in
tended to put it out as soon as he had given
the people in the house a good scare.

Beard was not a man of ~eytravagaut
tastes except in one direction-thst of
dress. He had perhaps the largest and
best selected wardrobe in the city. He
loved fine clothes and was even fastidious
about his personal appearance. but in this
direction he followed closely the advice OF
Polonius to Lsertes as the latter started
upon his mission:
Costly thy habit, as thy purse can buy.
For the apparel on proclaims the man.
He was a man of business in the best
sense OF the word. he found his recre-
alton in society and not in books. Of late
years he had read very little aver of the
stsnda. d authors but in everything in re-
lation to his business he kept fully abreast
of the times. He studied people and
their ways and through mixing with
them learned to measure them.

AMONG THE COURTS.
Matters of Interest Which T%ranspired
In Them YESTERDAY.

Both the supreme and district courts
held busy sessions Yesterday. Most of
the day was spent by the former court in
investigating the KinRen case. 1t will be
remembered that Kingen was tried by the
lower court on the charge OF stealing
cattle and found guilty and sentenced to
a term in the state prison at Laramie.
There are several technicalities in the
Kingen case through which his attorneys
lave been hopeful that they would secure
either a lesser punishment for him or
have him liberated altogether.
One of these was that he was kid
mapped in the state of Nebraska, brought
over into Wyoming by Detective W. G.
Lykens and arrested. These have all
fallen short from the opinions taken BY
the supreme court. however, and the
court yesterday confirmed the decision of
the lower courts and said Kingen would
have to serve out his sentence in the state
prison. His attorney, Mr.. st. Raynor, how
ever. took exceptions to this and will ap-
peal the case now to the highest judisial
tribunal in this countryside United
States supreme court at Washington
City. Meanwhile Kingen has been re-
manded to the custody of Sheriff Kelley.

GREAT DUTlEs.

Those who think that tho next
Legislature will have easy rowing, wi
be surprised when they see the great
flood that the newly elected members
will be forced to meet. Two grand
Republicans will be before that body
rs candidates for the United States
Seuatorship, and it were folly for any
good Republican to sling mud at either
of the pure names. John Sherman,
the grandest financial figure, perhaps
in the world: John Sherman, the man
who has stood like u wall and held
back the hordes Of enemies of the
Republic who would debase our money
for personal gain; John Sherman, who
for three decades has been n light
house amidst the booming breakers in
the political storms through which our
grand old party has passed, and whose
life has been the breathing of purity
itself. Such will be one Of the candi-
dates. On the other hard will stand
amidst his myrmls Of friends that stall
wart young ''lion of our tribe" Joseph
Benson Foraker. TO him the admir-
ing eyes OF many younger Repuhli-
cans are turned Us the veritable
cynocure for observing politicians;
Joseph b. Foraker, the man who has
never reeled or sickened before the
thrusts of the most bitter political
enemies, and who to-day is loved ty
bis friends beyond the power of words.
Such are the men: between such,
who may choose Let all Republicans
pray that when the smoke of the con-
flict dies away, justice will have been
done, and that the greatest good to
the party will be the guiding star of
the conflict.

PERRYsBURG IMPROVEMENTS.
Attracting Attention from the Outsitl
World

! Attracting Attention from the Outside
World
The eXcitements of election are now
over and it's results determined, so far
our duties and privileges as citizens are
accomplished.
Duties of another kind now devolve
on lis. These pertain to the homestead
we occupy, and the village in which
we live. In these each citizen is inter-
ested, either directly or indirectly,
and their conditions are pretty much
as we may ourselves make them.
There is now quite Il stir being made
by citizens in the Improvement of their
dwellings, and their surroundings,
thus adding to the value and attractive
appearance of their property.
Mr.. Haylor, trustee of the Lawrence
estate is making q fine and attractive
improvement on the family home
stead, and also in the construction O.
two other dwellings on Front St.
These together with the new residence
which Mr.. Pierce is erecting will great
ly improve the appearance OF Front
street, and attract attention from
travellers who may :nass through the
village.
On Second street F. e. Hollenbecl
is also re-modeling Ia an attractive and
convenient form, his family residence.
These together with the public enter
prise in building which are now in pro-
cess OF completion, Of the Catholic
church, the Presbyterian church, the
New Library building, and the Sher-
idon Wheel Factory, are giving Perrys-
burg boom in building enterprise
which in cost, and their attractive ap-
pearance, and utility surpass any
thing that has been seen in the former
history of the village, and furnishes
the assurance, that period of solid
permanent prosperity has dawned
which will lead to still higher and
more important results.
With such prospects ahead the time
has come when concerted action should d
prevail among the leading citizens on
objects by which to promote the public
welfare, extend business interest. and
thus lift Perrysburg to that position OF
influence, of population, and of wealth
to which her fine location and rich
material resources entitle her.

The farmers of Ohio have increased
their wheat acreage this fall about 6
per cent. We believe it to be an error,
and yet it is one which the farmers
always commit in a year marked by
high prices for wheat. They immedi-
ately proceed to insure low prices for
the next year by devoting too great an
area to that grain. The drouth this
fall, which followed seeding, may how,
ever Offset the increased acreage.
