Of banking. That gentleman said he
knew Of no place in the country where
the prospects we're SO favorable for a
successful banking business as at
Vinitai that in year every dollar Of
stock would be worth dollar and a
half and there wonld be none for sale
Mr.. Parsons also said the organizers
Of the Vinlta bank had acted wisely in
conhning each subscriber TO a sum Of
not over $4,000 1t was this line OF
policy, coupled with the fact that the
prosperous days Of this country are
still to come. that led the gentleman TO
his estimate OF the prospective value
of the stock. More than one person
could be found who would lady have
taken controlling interest lover $685.
600 but the idea OF the organizers was
TO build up a home institution and one
which could not be controlled by q
single individual. Under these circum-
stances the work OF placing the stock
was somewhat slow and to dispose Of
the remaining few thousand dollars it
was agreed by the subscribers, If no
one came forward and took it by the
time for opening, that it should be pro
rated among them. Thus the matter
was closed up and the vault, furniture
and fixtures will be in and the institu-
tion opened in a short time.

night, S. j. Burns restaurant be-
tween the two depots in this city took
fire and in very short time was in
ashes. A section of the railroad plat
form was also burned and but for hard
work The NJ, K & T. depot would have

arrived that evening from Chicago and
was sitting in the building talking
when the night man spilled quanti-
ty Of gasoline. Ii was decided that the
liquid would eyapOrate in a few min
utes and that twas not worth while
to try and clean it up. At this junct-
ure someone came in Tor lunch aud
the gasoline stove was lighted. In an
instant everything in the room was on
fire and so hot was it that nothing
whatever was saved, not even $l05 in
cash which the money drawer con tain
ed, though S35 Of this was found the
next day in the debris. The man who
spilled the gasoline had some of the
fluid upon his clothes and was com
PEELED to strip them off, as the flames
could not be extinguished. Mr.. Burns
and several other persons who were
assisting were considerably burned,
though not seriously. There was no
insurance. Monday preparations were
made TO move the old Commercial
house across the side track to the site

Attemnted Suioida-

une night last week, at Chelsea,
Mrs. Woods, a girl of sixteen who had
been married less than month, tried
TO commit suicide by shooting herself
with shotgun. Instead of the
charge passing up through the head
as intended, in reaching the trigger
the gun was prematurely discharged
and the shot literally tore all the flesh
fIom the bone between the elbow and
shoulder Of her left arm without frac-
turing the bone. While the wound is
a severe one il is not believed it will
prove fatal. The woman is the daugh-
ter of a Mr.. Sherick. They have been
at Chelsea bat short time and live
in tent. Jealousy, or the fear that
her husband was going to desert her,
is said to have been the cause of the
att empt at self-destrRetion.
