Farmers q Merchants Bank.

The stockholders of the Farmers
4 Merchants bank will have another
meeting next Wednesday and it is
bought everything will be in shil
shape for opening the bank. All has
a. pended on the depositors whether
or not the bank should resume, and
it seems that they are all coming
up with one accord, not only agree
ing that their deposits should re-
main in the bank, but many say they
will add more. 20 far only two
nave refused, and The amounts are
not very large. Receiver Peck
says he has never met with an in
,tance of the kind in his experience
ofore where people under such cir
cumstances have come to he help SO
generously and literally, manifest
ing a desire to see the bank re-estab
lished The 81 uation is clear. The
bank is perfectly good Tor the depos-
its in the hands of the re-
ceiver and must continue good
as long as the bonds which the gov
eminent holds as security for author
izing the bank and the stockholders
are also good, and the opening of the
bank does not relieve his RESPONSE
bility, but strengthens, as the stock
holders will have to increase their
stock by putting in sufficient cash to
pay full deposits. The difference is
that if the bank be forced to wind
up its affairs by the receiver de-
positoTs would have to wait six
II, Is and "a months for their money,
which they would draw in small
amounts by pro rata. II it resumes
it will be in strong condition to pay
depositors when the money is
needed. The bank will likely re-
sumo within the next thifty days.

1t is not altogether certain that the
Republicans will have majority it,
the Senate of the next Congress, ana
certainly not if the leaders and the
Republican press persist in reading
out of the party those Senators who
voted with the Democrats against
the Mckinley bill, the Force bill and
free coinage. The Fifty second Con
gress will have eighty eight Sena
tors. The Republicans now have
fOrty-six and two yet doubtful. The
Democrats have thirty eight, the
Alliance one, PETER, who will vote
with the Democrats on tariff and
silver, and one yet to b. elected from
Florida, making forty, and the Dem
OcratS stand iair showing for tn,
two yet to come from Illinois and
Sou h Dakota. In this event the Re
publican majority will only be four.
In any event the Republicans cannol
lay claim to more than eight MAORI
ty. The Democrats can very safely
rely on the votes Of Plumb, Paddock
Pettigrew, Nalcotf, Stewart, Teller.
Washburn and perhaps one or two
others for the reduction of the tariff
and free coinag', aod these will bc
the only two questions of importance
to fight over.

The origin of the National Marine band
at Washington is most curious. Nearly a
hundred years ago Yankee captain kid.
mapped a strolling troop of musicians on the
shores of the Bay of Naples and brought
them to this country From this handful
of Italians the band was developed. The
descendants of these stolen Italians are
now among the wealthiest people of Wash

yers, and others have their names CON
nected with the best known hotels and the

Three Pittsburg Roads Among Those to
Secure a jackson Park Entrance.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is the prime mover in
scheme to secure an entrance into the south
end of jackson Park and the Worlds Fair
for all lines running south from the Union,
the Van Buren street and the Polk street
stations, as we'll as those from the Illino s
Central station. Under the terms of this
arrangement 1J great railroads will have a
direct entrance to the Worlds Fair grounds,
including the B. & O., the Pittsburg, Ft.
Wayne and Chicago and the Panhandle.
The Exposition management will assume all
obligations for the lease of the grounds over
which the tracks pass.
The negotiations for such right of way
have been carried on by James Walsh, who
is the real estate agent of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and at the same time a
representative of the Worlds Fair directors.
The conditions under which the right of wa,
has been obtained are that all tracks shall
be removed by August /, 1894.

NIwSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspATcH.1
WnKEsBARRE, Nov. pa big sensa-
lion was sprung on the town to-day. Last
January, w. H. Shepherd, a prominent
contractor, disappeared from his home in
this city. His family were greatly alarmed
and thought he had met foul play. He
was last seen in Philadelphia. The family
spent 5000 advertising for a clew that
would lead to the recovery of the man,
dead or alive Detectives were also en-
ployed No tidipgs of the man could be
found.
Then it came to be whispered about that
there was woman in the case. and that she
was no less parsonage than the wife of the
Mayor of the CITY, Til, search was resumed,
hut without success. 1t was then given out
ev Shepherds family that he was surely
dead.
One day in May, however, one of the sons
received startling telegram from Indian
apolis to the effect that his lost father was
IN hotel In that city. sick nigh unto to
death. Th. son hastened there and con-
hrmed the story. He said his father was a
confirmed invalid, but the contractor did
not return home. Many people thought
this very queer, but they had their own
opinions about the matter.
Two weeks ago public notice was given
that Shepherd would return home and that
he would meet his enemies Tire attorneys
for Mayor Sutton notified the Shepherds
that If their father desired to return TO the
city he would be at once PLACID under ar
rest. Mayor Sutton is the prosecutor. He
caused two warrants to be issued. One is a
criminal action and the other is civil suit
for $4,000. Mayor Sutton claims Shepherd
alienated his wife's affections and broke up
his home. Shepherd appeared before Al
dermsn Davidson to-day and gave bail for
court
