A MOBILE BANK FAILS.
Examiner Campbell Takes Charge at the
Request of the Management.

Examiner Campbell Takes Charge at the
Request Of the Management.
At the request of the officers of the Alabama
National Bank of Mobile. Bank Examiner 3. ].
Campbell visited the bank and has directed the
institution to close its doors This step was
not unexpected in financial circles, and came
nearly being taken in December last. when the
knowledge of the condition of the bank caused
the depoits to fall off very rapidly, and what
are left can be paid inside of sixty days. the
bank having now about 50 per cent on hand of
the amount necessary to hquidate all claims.
The remainder and more is amply secured.
There will be no losses OH the part of the
dep ositors.
F. H. Clergue. president. is said to be the
cause of all the trouble. He, il is alleged, has
used between S50, 900 and $50 900 of the bank =
money, and efforts made during the past sixty
days to obtain a settlement have failed. The
management of the bank decided that the best
way to place the institution on its feet would
be to call on the controller of the currency for
an examination.
The bank examiner states that several DAYS
will be required to determine the true condi-
tion of the institution.

THE TROLLEY OUT OF DATE.
A System Of Inexpensive Underground
Wires for Railroads.

Wires for Railroads.
A special to the New York Times from Hart
ford, Conn, says: The problem Of under
ground wires for electrical railways has been
solved in this city, and section of street rail-
road here is now in running condition BY the
new system. The underground equipment has
been down all winter, with the horse cars run
ming over it constantly, and in no case has the
slightest danger been experienced by contact
with it The wires are midway between the
tracks. The severest winter that has been ex-
perienced here in years has not affected the APP
paratus and the circuit has not been inter-
rupted. The placing Of the wires under ground
will not cost much more than installing the
trollev lines.
The inventor OF the system, James F. Munsie.
WIS the first superintendent Of the Canadian
Pacific telegraph lines; before that he was
superintendent Of the Dominion lines, and
made the land connections with the Atlantic
cable Mt Cape Canso. He prepared the esti-
mates for the Gould American Union lines In
all of these positions he showed ability Of a
high order. For years he has been working on
the problem Of producing q system of under
ground wires which may be relied upon in
every emergency of storm and change Of tenn
perature. and at the same time be perfectly
safe for the travelling public. The expert
ments, which have terminated successfully
have been conducted under the city govern

About Cleo and Lard.

man who deals in oleomargarine said to a
STAR reporter today that false impression
exists in the public mind regarding the pro-
duct Fresh oieo, he said, will not only keep
thirty to sixty DAYS. but is far preferable to
rancid butter worked over with fresh butter in
order to make it salable. Had it not been for
oleo. he said. butter would have been 80 cents
instead Of IS and 40 this winter, and the poorer
classes would have been shut out entirely. In
this connection q housekeeper writes to The
STAR complaining Of the quality of lard sold by
many who handle it, and says that if it should be
officially inspected more than half Of it would
be condemned

HANDLING FREIGHT.
Some Modern Facilities Adopted by the
Pennsylvania Road.

Some Modern Facilities Adopted by the
Pennsylvania Road.
The freight facilities Of the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad have been materially in
creased No new tracks have been laid, but
the Washington freight end Of the line has been
SO thoroughly recognized and systematized that
its capacity for handling goods has been en-
larged. The Official to whom this important
work was intrusted was Mr.. William Bender
Wilson.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
management recognized that the railroads had
not kept pace With Washington in the march of
progress and that the freight business OF the
city was handled much after the fashion Of a
wayside station. For this reason Mr.. Wilson
was authorized to invade Washington and lift
the freight traffic out of chaos. When he came
he found that the Baltimore and Potomac
freight depot at 9th and Maryland avenue was
an aggregation of miserable sheds. without
proper accommodations for consignees or
shippers. and with no facilities for the prompt
transaction and dispatch of business. There
was one room in which carriers. drivers and
the public were huddled together. 1t was
only twelve by twenty-eight feet, and the
cashier and clerks were always in danger OF being
crushed by the stampede. All this is reformed
now.
The NEW BUILDING.
A handsome new structure has been put up,
which more nearly meets the needs and the
convenience of the railroad and Its patrons
The clerical force has been augmented by six
skilled men and their Office placed to the rear
out of reach of the crowd commodious
office has been fitted up for the cashier on thu
left of the entrance, the agent is comfort
ably ensconced in an office on the right and the
chief clerk Is given quarters in the rear Am
pie accommodations have been provided the
carriers and drivers. The force has alao been
increased at the 9th street station. Another
pronounced improvement is the method of
notifying consignees. Heretofore three mes
sengers were employed. WHO did their work on
fooI and street car. Now the messengers are
mounted on bicycles. Under the former sys-
tenn the notification of consignees was not COM
pleted till O'Clock pam. Under the new the
last notice is served not later than IL am.
Formerly business men seldom received notice
of the arrival of their goods in time to discharge
them on the same day.
LIVELY RAILROAD CENTER.
Mr.. Wilson declares that contrary to the ex-
pectations of railroad people Washington has
become an active, hustling railroad center and
merits TO be treated as n great city. He also
saws shat President Roberts has great and
comprehensive pan for Washington soon
the question of elevation depression CT
tracks mas been decided by Congress. Mr..
Wilson iirst came tothis city in 1862 as an
army telegrapher and he tells several
good wartime stories. including one which
relates how The EVENING STAR got the
scoop story of the battle of Balls Bluff and the
death Of Col. f. ID. Baker. and had an extra on
the street before the War Department received
news of the engagement.

Trouble at n PARTY.

Peter Alvey gave party at his house on L
street, IN South Washington, and among his
numerous friends were some who were pugi-
hstically inclined. Liquid refreshments had
been indulged in by some of the. guests. and
there was little disorder in one of the rooms,
which Mr.. Alvey attempted to end, and when
he appeared it only had the effect Of pouring
oil on fire.
He was roughly handled, and in turn it is
charged that he cut Horace Bailey in the neck.
The parties appeared in the Police Court this
morning and Alvey was held in $500 security
for the action of the grand jury.

special from Montreal says: .The separate

the Professionalism press of this province
The liberal organs are bitter in their denuncia-
tions Of the action of the government and its
supporters in the debate just concluded in the
house Of commons. L'Electfi1r saws that the
Catholics Of Manitoba can make up their minds
that all is over for them and bid farewell, not
only to their schools but to the damages which
they were expecting in lieu thereof.
Mr.. Sarte, NJ. p, the mover Of the resolu-
ton in the house Of commons. is also out with

ments bitterly on what he terms the pitiful
mien presented by the government supporters,
and especially those from the province, on that
question"
