Porterfield Gets Ten Years.

For the past month Frank Portcrfield
has been on trial in the United States
court at Nashville, Tenn. The past
week he was convicted under ten in
dictments for violating the national
Banking act while cashier of the de.
funct Commercial bank of that city.
The judge has sentenced Porterfeld to
ten years. imprisonment in the Kings
county prison, New York. An appeal
was asked and granted to the supreme
court of the United States, and bond
of $50, 900 required, the prisoner to
remain in the custody Of the marshal
until the bond is executed.
Frank Portertield was one of the
most prominent citizens of Nashville,
90 years old, q prominent church
member, of high social standing, a
general favorite and had the unlimited
confidence, not only of the people of
the city, but in all the towns of mid
die Tennessee in financial matters.
Therefore when his bank went to
smash it caught people all over mid
die Tennessee and was bad smash.
Iuka reporter. (Iuka, Miss.) 1888-1894, 1893-12-14

Speaking of the rates of railway
travel, President Roberts, of the Penn
sylvania Railroad says: cit is the ex-
fravagance of the American people
that makes it impossible to lower pas
tenger rates. The rich people demand
luxurious methods of travel, making
The cost OF a train very heavy. 1t is
The men and women who occupy the
ordinary cars and coaches who really
alaintain the railroad s passenger earn
iags. If the fares of the wealthy ira
vslers could be raised to what should
he the rate, then the other fares could
be lowered. Take, for instance, two
travellers going to Chicago. One for
. few dollars more gets luxurious

really the man riding IN the coach
who makes the train pay.

Southern Cotton Claims.

The house committee on Judiciary,
has about decided to report favorably
q bill relating to Southern cotton
claims. There is now in the treasury
about $11 900, 900, which has been set
apart TO pay cotton claims. This mon
ey was originally intended to pay the
claims of those whose loyalty could be
properly established.
The proclamation of President
Johnson and decision of the Supreme
Court, it is claimed, is plain proofs of
loyalty once demanded are no longer
required. The republican members
Of the committee have agreed that the
bill shall be presented favorably with
a provision that no more money than
the $l1,000,000 now in the treasury
shall be paid, and the claims for the
destruction of cotton shall be present.

the bill, the money to be divided. pro

Pension Frauds.

The Pension Bureau has been noti-
fed that DR.. r. N. Thompson who was
appointed examining surgeon OF the
bureau at Sobelha, Kansas, has been
for several months engaged in swim
ding operations in the neighborhood
of Chattanooga, Tenn, and has sud-
denly left that section.
The Bureau telegraphed that Thomp-
son was dropped from the Board in
1890.
Pension Bureau officials believe that
another nest of pension frauds
has been discovered at New Orleans.
The character Of the operations, 1t is
believed is Identical to that OF the
frauds at Norfolk, Va, and the newly
discovered cases at Buffalo. A special
examiner is now at work on the inves-
LEGATION.
