WnLLIAMsPoRT. Pa, Jan. ia re-
porter of the United Press interviewed
United States Bank Examiner E. II.
Dengler, at Muncy, concerning the clos
ing of the First National bank there
The little town was in state of excite
ment, but nobody could tell what had
become of the missing money, not even
the bank examiner himself, or if he
knew he would not tell. although he
yet able to determine the condition of
the bank, still he would not have closed
the bank and arrested the ex-cashier.
Della Green, without good grounds for
doing so. Della Green was cashier of the
bank two years ago, and resigned when
he was appointed bank examiner for
this district by the government. He was
! arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mr..
Dengler and taken before United States
Commissioner B. S. Bently, who went
from Williamsport to Muncy, and held
Green in IS, 900 bail for hearing Tues
day, Jan. 10. Mr.. Green furnished the
required bail.
Ex-Cashier Green's Threats.
Captain Bowman and Della Green
came up to the city last evening. Mr..
Green stated that he did not intend to
be the scapegoat and would have the
president arrested for embezzlement and
the directors for dereliction of duty. lie
said that his arrest and the closing OF
the bank were uncalled for, and that he
had taken nothing from the bank Il
offered" he said, ''to pay $4,000 toward
meeting the deficiency if the directors
would meet the balance, but Mr.. Bow
man refused
The people of Muncy do not under
stand where the money went, and they
do not know what the deficiency is. One
man said there was $21 900 short; an
other, that it was $4,000 III bonds and
5000 in cash. Another man said that
he had 81 900 in the bank and put more
money in it ON Monday before he knew

IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE.
Senators Have a Silver Debate and q
Test Vote on tho Anti Ontion Bill.

WAsHIHGToN, July l3.-The senate presented
two surprises yesterday-a brief silver debate
and test vote on the anti-option bill. The silver
question came up through some correspond
enco put in by Mr.. Palmer tlls.l, tending to
show that 1t would take two years and half
to coin tho silver bullion now in the treasury,
as required by the Stewart bill, without oater-
ing upon any new coinage. Mr.. Morgan In
sisted that this was apti-silvef argument
connocted between the senator from Illinois
and the secretary of the treasury, and he pro-
ceeded to address the senate upon it until
rulod OF the floor. On motion of Mr.. Wash-
burn by decisive vote Of 81 to 10, the senate
agreed to take up tho apti-option bill. Though
tho bill was subsequently sent back to tho call
endnr 1t remains liable to be taken up for ae-
tion by similar vote ut any time. Mr. Yoor-
hoes introduced labor arbitration resolution
Indirectly referring to tho Homestead troubles,
which under objection was laid over. No con-
clusion wGs reached as to the Sunday closing
of the Worlds Fair, but 1t was agreed to take
vote today.
Tho subject under discussion in the house
was constitutional amendInent TO elect sena-
tors by direct vote OF the people. The de-
bate was entirely technical, and but little at
tention was paid to the question by the mem-
bers. Mr.. Tucker tYa.) made an earnest
speech In support of the measure and was
warmly congratulated by his colleagues. This
was the only Incident of tho day, which was
otherwise featureless. The Republicans, by
hlibustering, succeeded in preventing vote
on the bill and at O'Clock the house took q
recess until O'Clock in the evening for tho
consideration of pension bills.

RTOTOUS BLACKS.
They Cause Reign Of Terror in q
Kentucky Town.
ONE MILITIAMAN SHOT DOWN.

He Was in the Crowd Surrounding
ihe Jail Where the Blacks Had
Congregated for the Purpose of
Rescuing One of Their Number.
a Race War Imminent.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 13.-An armed
negro mob surrounded the Paducah jail
Monday night, and bloody race war ia
threatened. The-negroes refused to dis
perse. They are prepared for an attack,
being armed with Winchester rifles.
The underlying cause OF the uprising
is the hanging of Charles Hill, the negro
who made an assault upon Lydia Starr
some weeks ago. They have been Sc
cretly obtaining arms for some time and
something of this kind has been ex-
pected. The immediate cRAse of the
present outbreak, as stated by O negro,
Is the arrest OF a colored man named
Thomas Burgess, who they fear will be
hanged, and they were determined to
rescue him.
At 1880 o'clock the marshal and
mayor returned TO the Jail from round
of the squads of negroes, who, when the
mayor and the marshal promised thai
no violence should be done the prisoner
in the jail, began to disperse. The
marshal addressed the crowd Of white
people, aud told them to go to theii
homes, as the negroes were dispensing,
This the people began to do, and in
few minutes the crowd was reduced to
the militia and about forty armed citi.
Zens.
At midnight band Of seventy-fve
negroes suddenly appeared, marching
down Sixth street, and they opened fire
on the men collected at the jail. At the
first FIRE Elmer Edward, a young man,
fell, shot through the abdomen. I'D
died yesterday. He was a member OF
the militia company.
The fire was returned by the militia
and the armed citizens, and the negroes
beat hasty, precipitous retreat. Tha
militia also retreated in disorder back
of the court house, where they kept up
a firing until the negroes had disap.
Peared down the street.
Mrs Matt Husbands was shot through
the head by stray rifle bull. She was
in bed at the time, the ball passing
through the side of the house, 1t is said
that many Of the negroes engaged in the
outbreak are from out OF town. Chief
Augustus, Of the fire department. is SO
badly injured that ne may not recover.
Edward Alexander run over and injured
internally, is resting easy.
II is Thought that some of the negroes
are Wounded, although it is impossible
to learn the particulars.
The police have arrested and placed
In the city Jail over fifty negroes who
were found carrying arms, and they are
guarded TO prevent any attempt To re.
lease them.
Every hardware store has been
emptied Of its stock of firearms, and the
consequence is that there are hundreds
OF well armed white men In town. The
killing Of young Edwards has aroused
storm Of Indignation that is with din-
Guilty kept from breaking out, and an
certain to be made.

The delta of the Mississippi, below its
junction with the Ohio, richer than the
Nile or the Rhine, exceeds the combined
area Of Holland and Egypt, and is des-
tined under the stimulus Of free labor
and the incentives of self government to
build fabric of society more opulent
and enduring. Add to this the inex-
haustible alluvion Of the streams sbove,
and the fertile prairies from which they
descend, and the arithmetic Of the past
has no logarithms with which to COM
pute the problems of the economic and
commercial future of the west. 1t will
be predominant in the development, not
Of this country alone, but of the hemis-
phere, and will give direction to the
destinies Of the human race.

HUNDREDS BURIED ALIVE.
a Qlacier Crashes Down on Swiss
Village with Deadly Effect.


PARIS, July ia terrible accident
has occurred at st. Gervais-les- Bains, in
Savoy. st. Gervais is a watering place
with sulphurous springs, and is a favor
ite summer resort. A heavy landslide
occurred in the mountains that almost
overhung tho village and without a mo-
fnents warning number of houses
were buried beneath immense masses of
rock and earth. The disaster occurred
at o'clock In the morning, when nearly
all the Inhabitants and residents were
asleep.
1t Is known that many Of the occu-
pants of the houses must surely have
persisted, and already thirty dead have
been taken out of the ruins.
Tho Thermal establishment was COM
pletely destroyed by huge masses of rock
that were swept against it by the land
slide. Hundreds of persous were thrown
into the River Arve. The actual loss of
life Is yet uncertain.
1t has transpired that the Blonnassay
glaciers, which extend from the north
west side OF Mount Blanc, became de-
mountain, carrying the baths and the
hamlet of LIE Fayet into the river.
The loss Of life was appalling. There
was no possible chance of the people
getting out of the way of the tre-
memdous mass of earth, rock and ice,
and a great number whose lives were
not crushed out beneath the falling
debris of their houses were swept into
the river and drowned.
Over hundred and fifty bodies have
been recovered from the Arve, and these
with the thirty taken from the ruins of
houses brings the death roll up to 1S0.
1t is not believed that this will cover
the entire loss of life, as there are un-
doubtedly many bodies buried under
the masses Of debris that will never be
tacnvared

4he Transition of Electrical Theories.
] To the question, "What is electricity?'
which is often asked. no absolute and
satisfactory answer has yet been found.
Notwithstanding the ,,onderful develop
ment Of electrical applications. cleo
tricians are still feeling their way as to
the nature and many of the principles
of the operation of the mighty force that
they are learning to control. This was
suggestively shown by remark made
by the vice president of the American
institute of electrical engineers at the
annual convention of that body.
The speaker claimed that the present
theories Of electricity should be regard
ed merely as stepping stones to more
comprehensive and satisfactory ones.
He contended that modern theories of
electrical phenomena, if adopted as an
absolute framework of all our knowl-
edge of these subjects, may, in few
years, become prison bars that will pre-
vent the mind from making free and
unprejudiced investigation of new theo-
ries and new phenomena, and giving
due weight and significance in the gen.
eral science of electricity to the results
obtained by the most recent experiment.

NEWARK, N. j., July 13.-The senti-
ment Of the community here seems to
be that young Fales will never be
hanged for the murder of Thomas Hay
den. Whateyer may be the ultimate re-
suit of the efforts being made in his be-
half it is positive that he will not be ex-
ecuted on tho day set by Judge Depue-
August II. Should Judge Henry fail in
securing a writ Of error in the case he
will take it to the United States Sill
preme Court on appeal, and thus young
Fales' life will be prolonged indefinitely.
Should all else fail, petitions will be ex-
tensively circulated asking for executive
clemency, and 1t is believed that they
would be generally signed. The boy
himself seems to be the most disinter-
ested person in connection with the case.
