tions.

THE FINANCIAL FURRY.

The Worst Thought to be Over-Thc Bank
Failures Represent Nothing More than
Temporary Inability to Pay Out Unusual
Sums on Unusually Short Notice.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Secretarv Car
Isle will not be at the treasury de-
partment until tomorrow morning
Mr.. Eckles, the comptroller, is still of
the opinion that the worst is over. and
that the failure of a majority of the
national banks that are insolvent rep
resents nothing more serious than tenn
porary ina bility to pay out unusual
sums of money that could have been
provided had the panic-striclsen share
holders given reasona BILE notice.
The comptroller received notice that
the Second national bank of Ashland,
XIV, which closed its doors June 81. re-
opened for business on July 10, having
complied with the requirements of the
law. The opening day the deposits
amounted to 81, 74s, and Withdrawals,
81, 500.
News that the First national bank of
Cheyenne, Wyo., had failed was re-
ceived. The comptroller to-day ap-

SUSPENDED PENSIONS.

Couple of Specimen Cases Which Re
fleet No Credit on the Efforts to Purge
the Pension Roll OF Dead-Beats, Frauds,
Etc.
DETROIT. Mich, July 22.-The most
sensational thing that has yet come to
light relative to the so-called purging
of the pension list is the suspension of
q distinguished pensioner, Justice
Charles J. Long, of the district court
Few soldiers in this state suffered from
wounds as severe as those of Justice
Long. At the battle of Wilmington
island, Ga, he lost his left arm. and he
was also shot through both hips and
abdomen. The latter wound has still
to be dressed twice daily.
Although the order of suspension
bears date of June 81, Mr.. Long has
not yet received official notice of it's
issue. The notice is a formal docu-
ment, and gives no clew to the rea-
sons that have influenced. the course OF
the department. The order gives the
pension certificaten number, which shows
that there could have been no mistake
or confusion of names.
A Dying Veterans Pension Topped on.
MINNEAPoLIs. Mimi, July 22.-Hiram
Weeks, of Minneapolis, a veteran who
served four years in the federal armH
during the war of the rebellion, has
received notice that his pension of six
dollars per month will be discontinued.
While in the service he passed through
forty-three battles, one of which was
Getteysburg. He is now very near
death from gangrene of the foot and
various other complaints, some of which
had been traced directly to his expos
ure in the army.
The only reason which can be found
for the cutting off of his pension is the
incomplete and one-sided report which
was sent to Washington by the st.
Paul board of examiners. who refused
to look at his foot at the last examina.
ton.
Weeks case has created considerable
feeling among G. A. II. circles, and
prominent parties have Interested
themselves in securing the renewal
and increase of his pension.
