ATLANTA. Ca, Jan. 23.-Stats Treasurer
Hardeman left to-day for Americus, where
he goes to investigate the recent develop
ments in the failure of the bank there,
which affects the states interests, the de-
funct bank having been state depository.
When interviewed on last Saturday Treas
urer Hardeman stated that the amount of
the states money on deposit in the
Americas Lank when it closed Its
doors was s21. To-day, however,
before leaving Col. fIardeman stated
that the state had in the defunct bank
something like $40 900, though the books in
his office. upon which he gave his statement
Of Saturday, did not show this. The money
had just been placed In the bank by the tax
collector OF Sumter county, and the certIti-
cate OF its deposit had not been received at
the state treasury, the law requiring that
duplicate certificates OF deposit be given to
the tax collectors and the state treasurer
The state is a preferred creditor in the fail
ure of state depository, aud Col. Harde-
man is positive that the state can sustain no
loss through the failure.

POSTMAs TERsRIP PLOTS.

Republicans ResigninG to Get Places
Under Democratic Successors.
CARRoLLToN, Ga, Jan. 23.-One of the
most partisan republicans in Carrollton
county is Zachsriah T. Allen of Villa RIGA,
this county. He was among one Of the first
appointees after the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Harrison. He was appointed post
master az Villa Rica Allen knew his head
would 60 early after Mr.. Cleveland's inau-
guration, so he has been casting about OF
late to find some democrat upon whom he
could depend for a job after March
4 and resign in his favor. So on
Saturday Allen sent in his resig-
nation. aud recommended the appointment
of j. +. Henderson, a merchant OF the town.
There is some excitement IN Villa RIGA ov or
the matter. Some Of the democrats soy
that so rabid a republican as Allen cannot
dictate who shall be their postmaster during
q democratic administration. They say
Allen thinks because Henderson is a demo-
crat the administration will not remove
him. and hence he can be the postmaster.
This same thing has happened at Bremen
and Douglasville. The postmssters at those
two towns have resigned aud recommended
the apo ntment OF certain democrats. The
democrats of all three places say the repub-
licaps cannot dictate to them in such O way.

ployers' Liability Insurance Company, be
released on his own recOgnizance, and that
the case pending against him be

lawyer opposed this. insisting that
his client be tried and acquitted

LINCOLN. NEB, Jan. 23.-The failure Of
the Capital National Bank seems to have
been most complete. Bank Examiner
Griffith and his assistants are making
searching examination, but refuse TO talk.
Only few weeks ago C. w. Mosher, presI-
dent of the bank, swore that he was
worth $50, COO over and above all liabilities
and r. c. Outcault, swore that he was
worth 100000 over aud above all his
liabilities Their oaths TO this effect we're
taken when they went on State Treasurer
BarIley's bond. The same oaths were taken
last week when they presented their bond
as a bank of deposit for state funds. Those
who are familiar with the business interests
of the city say that outside specuiatlons by
President Mosher and his associates are
responsible for the failure

bank. In every case the dates OF these
chatteis lie prior to Dec 10.
TIE STATES DEPOSIT.
Leading lawyers claim that Treasurer
BARLEY and his bondsmen are not liable for
any state funds that may be lost by the
failure, as the banks bond was approved
by the state banking board, thus relieving
them. The retiring treasurer, Hill, bad
$26S, 900 of the state funds in the bank.
which he turned over to his successor.
Treasurer BARLEY reduced this to $4,000
by small withdrawal The total deposits
of the bank amount to S650,000. There are
thousands OF depositors, many being of
limited means, who will lose from $50 to
81 900 by the crash.
Mosher and Outcault are on the bonds OF
nearly all of the state officers.

GENUINE CHOLERA IN ST. PAUL.

Came in the Body of a German Immi-
grant Who Died on the Train.
ST.. PAUL, Jan. 1.-THE through train en-
the 500 road this morning brought in the
corpse of Engelbert Hoog, German emil
grant, who died on the train from genuine
Asiatic cholera. The cause of death was
not SUSPECTED until inspectiol was
made by local health officers, and so
quiet was the information kept that there
has been no particle of excitement. The
health authorities are thoroughly alarmed,
principally from the fact that hey have
little knowledge of how great the exposure
has been aud whether they have rounded
up and quarantIned every person who NAV
have been IN contact with the patient.
The first intimation of the case was a
message by wire late last night, aud it con-
teined no thought of cholera, so that it was
not until the body had been taken from the
train that the cause of death was discovered
The notification was OF the death of one
Engelbert Hogg, German emigrant, on
the 500 train, then coming to this
department had [ commissioner Sinks at toe
depot this morning when the train rolled
IN and the corpse was at once removed.
Coroner WhtcOmb was called and was
greatly surprised at the corpse Grave
suspicious were aroused in his mind and be
called DR.. Hoyt, CHIEF OF the health depart
ment, to assist him in an examination.
The train arrived hero about o'clock
this morning and by 8 O'clock the exami-
nation was concluded. Both physicians
were satisfied that the case was absolutely
one of cholera, and they therefore
ordered the immediate disinfecton
OF the body and all the
baggage accompanying it and the burial of
the corpse. The Minneapolis health depart
ment was notified and the car secured and
thoroughly disinfected. The body had been
taken to an undertaking establishment on
Wacouta street, where it IVES thought that
an inquest would be neld, but it remained
there less than an hour.
Hoog was about 16 years of age, and ar
rived here directly from Baden, Germany.
He was in company with four other emf

the state. All bore clean health certificates
from the New York health department, but
Commissioner Sinks thoroughly disintected
their clothing and has detained them in

This will probably be burned. Secretary

to meet IN the morning and take prompt
action to stamp out the disease.
