TIE FIRST NATIONAL OF WILL
MINGION IN TROUBLE

Its Suspension the Outcome OF Eeavy
Losses Made Several Years Ago and
Slow Collections Owing to the Re-
cent Monetary striugency-Depos-
itors Apt to Be Paid In Full.
WILMINGTON. N. c., Nov. 25.-The fol-
lowing notice was posted on the doors OF the
First National Bank this morning: SIN con-
sequence Of the stringency in financial
affairs and their inability to meet further
demands the directors Of this bank have de-
cided In the interest of all concerned to
suspend business until further notice The
officers were in the bank, every entrance
to which was closed. Its CAPT.
tai stock is S250,OO0 The last
published statement showed deposits Of
$405, 900. An employe of the bang who is
familiar with its affairs expresses the opin-
ion that the depositors will suffer no loss.
Large crowds gathered around the bank
discussing the situation, but the excitement
was OF a subdued character aud everything
was comparatively quiet The Bank of
New Hanover aud the Wilmington Savings
and Trust Company are not affected by the
suspension.
BANKER EXAMINER SENT ON.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Mr. Lacey, con-
troller Of the currency. was informed this
mornlng or the suspension or the First Ma
tional Bank of Wilmington, N. G. He 10
structed Bank Examiner Alden to proceed
from Washington at once TO take charge of
the bank.
STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTORS.
The board of directors have given to the
press the following official statement con-
corning the bank: 'The causes which led
to the suspension have existed long while
The capital was impaired by heavy losses
several years ago, as is generally understood
from the fact that no dividends have been
declared since 1887. The directors hoped
that by careful management the earn
ings Of the bank would be sufficient
in few years to cover these
old losses, but slow collections in consequence
OF the general stringency prevailing in our
section this fall have compelled them to
abandon this hope and close the bank to
protect deposltors as well as stockholders
against further risk. Notwithstanding the
shrinkage in many securities on account of
the general depression in business, it is
hoped that the resources of the bank under
prudent handling will yield more than
enough to pay the depositors in full"

THE BOND ISSUE.
The question of issuing bonds for deep
ening the river Is now vehemently discussed
in anticipation of the election on Dec 8.
Tonight an anti-bond meeting In Oakland
was broken up and captured by bonders. A
high old row took place, and many black
eyes and bunged noses resulted.
The colored people are for bonds with the
intelligent republican and democratic ele-
ment of the city. The country people, who
argue that they would not be specifically
benefited by deep water, are opposed to
the measure.

FoaECLosED ON A PAPER.

A Libel Suit Influenced the Creditor
to Push His Claim.
DULUTH, MIMI. Nov. %. - Sheriff
Sharvy of this city took possession OF the
Daily Tribune yesterday afternoon. ]. J.
Hill, railroad man, has held mortgage
of $25, 900 on the paper a long time, and
for several months gave it substantial
backing, but the paper has
been gradually getting into deeper
water until Mr.. Hill, to protect his inter-
ests, has foreclosed the mortgage. This
simply means that Mr.. Hill owns the en-
tire paper, and F. B. Chapman will con-
tinue to be manager. The libel suit of Con-
tractors Zimmerman and Moore was to be
tried to-day, hence the change in manage
ment at this time Is partially explained.

DR. BRIGGS CASE.
Presented to the Presbytery-A Very Live
ly Time Ensues.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Committee
OF the New York PreSbytery appointed
TO consider alleged heresy in the ad-
dress OF the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Briggs,
before the Union Theological Seminary,
on January 20, last, submitted the re-
portS before the meeting Of PreSbytery
in the Scotch Church this afternoon.
These reports will be found on the
second page of this mornings issue to-
gether with DR.. Briggs reply.-Ed.
After little routine business, paper
was offered by DR.. Hastings, cenSuring
the Chester PreSbytery for condemning
DR.. Briggs without a hearing; condemn
ing DIR. Briggs himself, thus infringing
on the Chester PreSbytery on the rights
OF the New York PreSbytery. This
provoked u great deal of discussion
and was finally rejected-66 to 81.
&Prof Briggs arose, and after remark
ing that he had taken the first opportu-
nifty to state his position and protest
against the appointment of the commit
tee, read the protest, maintaining the
committee was illegal.
Prof. Briggs then spoke impromptu,
and said he was prepared to name GER
tain individuals who have rashly, CEN
seriously and maliciOusly instituted
these charges against him.
Here he was called to point OF order
and allowed to continue his protest
within revelant bounds. He said he
had asked the members of the Presby-
terry again and again to charge him with
hereSy. He said he wanted it as quick
as he could get it,
Then followed an unintelligible min
Cling of motions. At last DR.. Van Dyke
was recognized, and his motion TO ad-
journ till 10 o'clock tomorrow was car
ried unanimously. The younger MEM
berS aud visitors present frequently APP
plauded Dr. Briggs, Notwithstanding
the protests OF the Chairman.
