Mr.. Sam1 II. W. Bowman, native OF
aud for many years a well known resident
of this county, died in Stanley, Page
county, Va, Saturday, Jahury 23'd, le92.
The following from the Stanley Herald
will show how highly he was regarded ID
that place where he had been residing fer
several years:
"Tbe much dreaded monster, death, has
a-aip invaded our little city and taken
from us our old and highly esteemed
friend and neighbor S. H. w. Bowman,
who was born on October 18th, 1892, and
departed this life on Saturday, Jan. 70,
1892. aged 80 years, months aud ii days
J ale united with the Christian church
in 1860. and bad lived consistent men-
her of the same until be was released by
death. He was sick hut short while,
his disease being PleuTO-pneumonia, with
which he suffered intensely, but IN the
midst of all his snfferings he was never
known TO mnrmur hut bore it with CHRIS
tian fortitude and seemed resigned to the
will of his Master, saying 81 am not afraid
70 meet death, see my way clear" On,
blessed hone of the saint. to such death
is but the gate to endless joy Uncle
Bowman was as good g neighbor as we
ever lived by in life; always ready 10
oblige a neighbor in any way that he pos
sibly could, and always had cheerful
word wherever we met him. We greatly
miss him, and the town will miss him, but
none will miss him so much as his COM
panion in life with whom he had lived 50
long and so happily. Bat she has the
blessed assurance that he is with the
Lord. and in n few brief years at most
she will meet him again where pariings
and sufferings are unknown His funeral
services were conducted at Graves chapel
by Ed. billiard, assisted by Rev. Is. b.
White. in the presence of a large con-
course of sorrowing friends and relatives,
after which his remains were laid away IN
their last resting place in the adjoining
cemetery. We hope, through grace, to
meet uncle Bowman again and JOIN on
voice with his in chanting the sweet notes
of the divine praise of God in the home
of the blessed. He leaves a wife and
many other relatives and friends to noun
his loss. to whom the Herald extends III
heartfelt sympathy. But Eve sorrow not
az others who have no hope"

aspect. Bat We are looking forward to

In the Supreme Court OF Appeals yes!er-
day the opinion rendered in the case of
Meem against Dulaney on March 16 1880,
was affirmed. This case came from the
Circuit Court of Shenandoah county and
was a suit restraining Delaney from sell
ing certain property upon which he held
deed of trust foi loans amounting to
s6O, 900 on the grounds of usurious inter
est.
The defendant in the case demurred
and answered the bill denying the charge
of usury, and decree was entered direct
ing jury to be empanelled to try the
issues and ascertain whether or not the
loans were upon usuFious consideration.
Subsequently the jury found that the
transactions we're usurious, as charged IN
the bill. and decree was entered to the
extent that Meem should have relief to
the interest paid him above the legal rate
Numerous authorities upon the question
we're cited IN the opinion, and the court
held that the circuit court was in error in
the amount of relief awarded the com
plainant and reversed the judgment o.
that tribunal. The supreme court holds
that the entire interest, amounting to about
| az. 600. m 1st be forfeited. Jndge Rich

The Broken Banks.
THE CAPITAL IT REQUIRES TO START A
PEIvATE BANKING BUSINESS.
From the Warrenton VirGinisn.

From the Warrenton Vireinisn.
A meeting of the committee of the bank
creditors was held in this place on Friday
last An inspection OF the books Of the
firm showed that the bank of ROsen berger
Spindle g. Co., commenced business here,
possibly, on q capital of five thousand dol
lars. Three thousand and five hundred
of which was used to pay Messrs. Jeffries
and Keith, leaving them fifteen hundred
dollars to do banking business with, ii
they had five thousand at the outset. The
books show that the SO 500 was placed to
the credit Of Jeffries and Keith, and not
paid to them until the bank here was in
operation.
In March last the bank was seventeen
thousand dollars short. Then, or soon
AFTER it was that the other partners sold
ont to c. w. Rosenberger, and A. r.
Rosenberger, Meyers and Spindle drew
out four thousand dollars each, or twelve
thousand altogether. At the time there
was only four or five thousand dollars
cash in the bank, but they had four thou
sand dollars each placed to their credit on
the books. and drew it out as it was de-
posted. About the same time C. w.
Rosenberger drew the same amount from
the bank.
Between tho first Of December and the
day the bank closed, C.. W. ROsenberger
drew out as much as fifteen hundred dol
lars more, making about twenty-five
thousand dollars of his account over
drawn. He has given his notes for twenty
one thousand dollars or threabouts, which
with a little personally and few other
worthless notes form all the assets of the
bank. Mr.. Rosenberger has nothing and
as his earning capacity is small, his notes
are probably not worth as much as the ink
which stains the paper. There was only
ten dollars and ninety cents in the bank
when it closed. 1t was not developed to
what use Mr.. c. w. Rosenberger put the
money which he got out of the bank. If
he bought property with it it has not
been assigned to the creditors. The
amount of deposits at the time of the
failure were S36 .672 IA and time deposits
amounting to 1895, 5000 of which was the
long life savings of our disabled towns
man, Mr.. Robt. Fletcher.
1t was determined at the meeting to
employ counsel and prefer criminal
charges. Unless something is squeezed
oat of our Napoleons of finance IN this
way, it Is not thought that the creditors
will realize five cents on the dollar. There
is some talk of sending away to get coun-
sci, but this would certainly be- uawise
and additionally expensive, and will
probably be abandoned.

TRIAL POSTPONED.

There was quite a number OF persons
present at the Courthouse, Warrentn,
Va, on Monday, at 2 o'clock, when the
case Of Charles w. Rosenberger was called.
Mr.. Rosenberger's counsel, Mr.. Eppa
hunton, Jr., insisted upon trial, without
delay, at this term of court, as his client
was fully ready for the trial.
The case was postponed until the Feb
ruary term of the court, upon a very brief
statement of the Commonwealth, and re-
marks by Mr.. P.'s counsel, Mr.. X i
Campbell, that Mr.. Poster was sick, aud
could not be present.
The bail was fixed at the same as before,
g., 500, for Mr.. Rosenterger's appearance
at the next term Of court.
The particulars as to this case are, a'
well as we can learn, about as follows
A warrant was served upon Mr.. ROsen'
berger, at his home, Saturday, Dec 20
1891, at the instance Of Mr.. Poster,
cattle dealer from Southwest Virginia
upon the charge of obtaining money IN
der false pretense.
II seems that Mr.. Poster had deposited
in the Bank of Rosenberger, Spindle a
Co., WaIrenton, Va, at different dates
| uetWeeH December anu lOi doOut ol'VV
reducing this amount, between the date'
indicated, by checks, to $1l6O II. Or
December Is, when he left for Southwest
Virginia, he obtained from the firm. (Mr
Rosenberger being at home sick, at the
time,) a dra't on Baltimore bank, fol-
this amount, which he Afterwards de
posted in bank at Abingdon, Va, for
collection. This draft reached Baltimore
four days after the suspension OF Rosen
berger, Spindle Il Co., and was not paid
1t seems, that drafts given by this firm
to the amount of about $4,000 after The
issuance OF the Posten draft, were honoret
by the Baltimore bank, prior to the sus
pension at WarrentCn.
An opinion prevails to a considerable
extent in Warrcnton and elsewhere. thai
very little will come out OF this case

Our information, Which we consider
very reliable. is just the reverse OF the
above, and it is the counsel for the de
tense that is fighting for time, while The
