SOME MORE INSURRECTloN.
Tennessee Miners Set 200 More Convicts
at Liberty.

at Liberty.
NASHVILLE, Nov 3.-Information has
been received that an armed mob of miners
attacked the stockade at Oliver Springs
yesterday morning, burned it and released
the convicts. This makes about 500 con-
victs set loose in the past few days. 1t is
supposed that the mob came from the vi
cnity of Briceville and Coal Creek All
were well disguised, wearing their coats
inside out. Some wore gunny sacks,
many others had their faces blacked, and
some wore masks. Many were drunk.
Over 500 other convicts are employed in
the coal mines at Tracy City and Iuman,
in middle Tennessee, but these are very
strongly guarded now.
One Family Nearly Cremated.
Only nine men were on guard and these
were arrested and disarmed. One of the
guards barely bad time to save his family
before his house was in flames Nine hos
pital convicts and short term men refused
to run away. The work was done quietly
and only few people in the vicinity
knew of the outrage until after 9 o'clock
in the morning. Part of the mob took
charge of the telegraph office at Oliver,
keeping the operator under arrest till day
light. The news did not reach Knoxville
till nearly a. m.

Curious Discoveries in Hole in Arkan-

HELENA, Ark, Nov. "A most remark
able find is reported from the little town
of Laconia, south of this city. A well
was being drilled on farm at the edge of
town, and when they had gone to the
depth of ie5 feet the driliers reported that
they were in some peculiar substance,
which was hard yet not rocks. They ex-
amined the drillings and said that they
were passing through layer of bricks, as
nothing else would give the peculiar ap-
pearance to the drillings. As the drill
was at such depth that it was considered
impossible for bricks to be buried, they
were laughed at, but the men insisted
that bricks were at the bottom of the we'll.
Money Of Forgotten Age.
A short time after this the men brought
up from the bottom of the we'll a lot of
mud, and in this was found a
small piece of metal, which was
cleaned off and found to be piece of
money. 1t was octagonal in shape and
lad hieroglyphics on in it which could
not be deciphered, but which were meant
evidently to represent the value of the
piece. 1t was totally different from any
thing ever seen in this neighborhood, and
the piece was brought to this city where
it was shown to numismatics, but all
agreed in pronouucing it as something
beyond their knowledge. 1t will be sent
to the Smithsonian institute for examina-
tion, and is believed to be relic of a pre-.
historic race.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Nov. 3.-In the
case of Elizabeth X. Sherwood VS.. the
Chicago and West Michigan Railroad
company decision has been handed down
by the supreme court of Michigan. The
newspapers published the fact that a
verdict Of $4,000 had been given in the
first trial of the case while the second
trial was in progress, and the counsel for
the defense moved to have the publishers
committed for contempt. The court de-
MED the motion. The supreme court de
cides that even though the publication of
a verdict or judgment prejudices case
on trial, the paper does not violate the
law in making the publication, and the
reading of such information by jurors
does not render them incompetent.

Boston, Nov. 3.-Asa p. Potter, presi-
dent of the Maverick National bank, which
did not open its doors yesterday morning;
Colonel Jonas ii. French, managing direc.
tor, and Thomas Dana, also a director,
were arrested at their homes last night at
the instance of the government banking
officers. There are six charges in the war
rants upon which they were arrested, the
most serious of them being embezzlement
and misappropriation of funds Of the de-
funct bank. President Potter and Direc-
tor French were not wholly unprepared
for this sensational development in this
most sensational affair, they having spent
the afternoon in seeking bondsmen.
They Had To BE Resigned.
They took their arrest very philosoph-
ically, and after being placed in custody
refused to make any statements. Presi-
dent Potter owes the bank of which he
was the head and managing spirit 81, 300, :
0J0. Colonel French owes it $500, 900 and
Thomas Dana, another director, owes it
$500, 900. President Potter was not re-
Quired to come to Boston, but remained
at his home. where he is guarded by a
deputy marshal. Colonel French was ar
raigned before Commissioner Hallett late
last night and furnished bonds in the sum
of 500, 900 for his appearance before the
commissioner. Director Dana was also
arraigned at late hour last night and
furnished bonds in the sum of S75, 600 for
his appearance.
Been Irregular for Years.
1t became known yesterday that the ir
Irregularities In the management of the
Maverick bank have extended over Pc
riod OF several years. Mr.. Billings, who
was bank examiner ten years ago, reports
that the bauk was sound at that time,
but there was tendency to overloaning
and to doing too great business for the
capital. According to the law there
should be eleven directors to a bank.
while this bank has had only five. and has
been zone man" institution for years,
but during that time has been singularly
free from losses
General Condition of the Bank.
The general condition of the bank may
be epitomized as follows: Capital stock,
100000; surplus, $500, ,000; undivided
profits, $3.50 00a-all gone, no one is will
ing to tell where; all as completely wiped
out as II it had never existed. To meet
these losses the bank has for creditors Asa
Potter, Colonel Jonas H. French, an un-
paid loan to Irving Evans of S400, 900, and
Thomas Dana. No promisor of a national
bank, according to law, can borrow more
than 10 per cent. Of its capital stock;
yet here are three men who have bor-
rowed s., SOC, 600, and besides this Irving
Evans borrowed 800, 900.
