FARmERs AND MERoH ANTS BANK
A Movement Looking to Resumption.

The stockholders of the Farmers
and Merchants B,nk held a meeting
yesterday and elected the following
board of directors: j. j. Crusman,
B. f. Gill, Geo. w. Bowling, III.
CARROT, G. W. Anglen, C. T. Yonng,
j. w. Jesup and DIR. Stewart The
object Of this move is to make thor
ough investigation Of the affairs of
the bank and ascertain if it will be
entirely sale and practical to resume
business. The directors will meet to
morrow to organize and begin the
work. Mr.. Peck, the receiver, has
greatly encouraged the stockholders
in the course they are pursuing, and
the whole city is in high hope that
the bank will be able to resume. 1t
certainly can ii the stock olders will
unite in such action, which seems
to be greatly to Their interest to do,
as well as to the general interest of
the community. One of the banks
of the city is also encouraging
the move and promises TO help all it
can.
Mr.. Peck has already impressed
our people as man ofsplendid bust
ness capacity and gentleman de-
void of selfshness. While it might
be in his interest to go on and wind
up the bank as receiver, he is en-
cOuraging this move to save the
stockholders from sacrifice. He finds
the bank in better condition than
he expected. lis hooks have been
neatly kept and everything seems to
ne in good order and systema icaIly
arranged. The general idea is that the
bank will need only about $40, 900
probably less, and not exceeding
$50, GOO paid in by the stockholders
or syndicate to place it on good
sound basis. This is Mr.. Pt ck's
idea, ami he says the stockholders
ought to jump at suce a chance, and
if he had hold of their pocket-bOoks
he would make them do it, The di-
rectors will proceed to examine all o.
the paper, select that which is abso
lutely good beyond question OF
doubt, and if 65 per cent. proves sol
vent then there will be no difficulty
in the way Of resumption. There is,
however, nothing yet positive, the
board will proceed very cautiously {;
new complications are lab to come
up through other failures Of firu 5
outside of city, but it is to he hoped
thai the stockholders Will take cour-
age and go at this matter bravely.
They owe it to themselves and the
public to resume if possible, and
by so doing there is chance to save
their stock, otherwise it is doubtful.
AS to the depositors, they are sure t.
get their money.

Business Men in Theatricals.

The New York Herald Of June ii
says: "Its strange what strides the
stage has made during the past five
years, not to speak of century,
Business men have now taken Il
hand in the pie and find it very
profitable outside investment. Bar
rett, during his grand struggle
Trough numberless difficulties, was
nacked by some of the solid business
men of London, who, recogniz.
ing his ability during his stay in
London, saw chance for good in
vestment. And now few business
men of New York have taken hold
of comedy drama called 'Casey's
Troubles, which they will put on
with wonderful effects. They have
IA monstrous tank, in which takes
place a river scene of real water,
The tank contracts and expands to fit
the size of any stage, and during
their trip across the country, prior to
their seven weeks run in San Fran
cisco, they can take in some of the
minor towns and thus make the
journey to the Pacific with more
ease. Arrangements are under way
for big production at the Academy
of Music as soon as "Old Homestead"
has had its run. Theatrical mana
gers, look sharp. The business men
will crowd YOU out"

Still we hear of horses and mules
dying with blind staggers, caused
from eating rotten corn. Says the
Russellville Herald, the spring-bone
in the nostril becomes stopped up and
soon causes death. N. T.. Neary
writes that paper that he tried the
plan of boring a gimIet hole in his
mares head about half an inch below
the eyes. Black blood spurted out al
her nostrils, and after bleeding about
half gallon, the blood became 6
natural color and in twenty min
uies she went to picking grass
apparently well.

GREEN WAS THE MAN.
He Made a Confession, Telling Where the
Money Was Located.

Our readers are familiar with the charge
made by d. NJ. Anderson, of Tyler, Texas,
against Levi Green. of stealing 300 from
him. in the Carter saloon, couple OF days
ago. 1t seems that Green was the THIEF, al
though there was no conclusive evidence OF
a direct nature against him, but this de-
ficiency was supplied by the confession OF
the prisoner, made yesterday, and as re-
suit of this SIPS of the stolen money was re-
covered by Chief of Police Delorugge and
restored to the owner.
Yesterday Chief Delbrugge was informed
that Mrs. Hicks, who lives in the rear OF
the Carter saloon, wanted TO see him about
matter in which a cOlored man was i'm
plicated and the Chief at once suspected
| that the Green robbery was the matter,
and went down. Mrs. Hicks was not very
communicative at first, and probably did
not want TO see the Chief, but the latter
came TO the point at once by telling her
\ that he knew all abont the money transac-
ton with Green, and that she had better
tell all she knew about 1t and hand over the
money she had. Impressed that the Cniei
knew a great deal more than he really did,
Mrs. Hicks grew communicative and was
assured that all the facts were known.
Under this pressure Mrs. Hicks said that
about half-past four o'clock on the after
noon Anderson lost his cash Green came
into the place and asked Mrs. Fertner to
keep some money for him. She refused,
and Green then came to Mrs. Hicks and
rendered her the money and she agreed TO
keep it. A little later Green came back
and got $40, and later still called and got
$40, leaving Sl20 in the hands of the wo-
man. She then went to bureau drawer
and got the roll of money and handed it to
the Chief. The latter had been in
formed that Green had left some
money at Sullivan's saloon, and calling
there with an order from Green, who had
been told the jig was up, and that the police
had his money, 81 belonging TO the pris-
oner was secured. The Chief took the en-
tire amount and turned it over 10 Ander-
son, who was reioiced at seeing his ducats
again. he having given them up for good.
Green's admissions of having taken the
money probably settles his hash, and he
will go over the road as soon as the Circuit
Court gets to work on him.
Green has been doing good deal OF
stealing. but has been lucky enough to get
out of it, but, like John COnnors, he was
rounded up at last.
