USED BANKS MONEY,


SAN FR,scrsco, May i0.-The Bank Of
Santa Clara County today closed its doors,
because Of a shortage of $3.50, 900 to $780,
900. Cashier llaywoods died last week and
yesterday Manager Leonard informed the
directors that Irregularities existed in the
books.
Today Leonard filed a petition in ins0l-
vency, placing the liabilities at Sls0,00O

the notes are not secured.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c.. Sept. THE
University opened to-day with 800 students,
the largest number at the opening In
thirty-three years. Every train Is fun,
and President Winston expects over 400
during the year. The college dormitories
are full. and the hotels and dwellings In
the village are rapidly filing up. The
students as class are older and better
developed physically than ever before.
The athletic victories OF the University
have evidently attracted handsome set
of young men. The University hopes TO
be the champion Of the South during the
year in football, baseball. and general
college athletics.
The improvements provided for by the
legislative appropriation OF 10000 have
added wonderfully to the comfort of
university life. Hot and cold shower
baths are prvided for the athletic asso-
citation and stationary baths for other
students. The sanitation of the Uniyer-

departments. The Normal department Is
well attended by young men preparing TO
teach, as well as by teachers Of consid-
cradle experience. a large class was or
ganized for the study of New Testament
Greek. Quite an enthusiastic class was
formed for the study OF Sanskrit litera-
ture. All the professors are back at their
posts much refreshed by their vacation.
Most Of them have spent the summer
travelling In New England and the middle
states, or studying in Europe. An unusu-
ally large number Of the new students is
made up of graduates OF other colleges.

THEIR STING FATAL.
THE vENomOUS COLLEGE SPIDERS
ANNll1IlATE The CHERu6S.
A Great Surprise TO the Players ms Wen
rs to the Crsnks-Prof. Pnrysnr's
Heart Made Glad.

The must: OF song aud dance resound-
ed through the dim-lit halls of Richmond
College last night and JOY reigned at the
institution.
1T was out Of sight," quoth Professor
Puryear, as he turned a double dip and
proceeded to cut the pigeon-wing.
This remark from the lips OF the learned
expounder of chemistry had references to
victory of his darling Spiders. VINO. Tor
the first time in history had succeeded IN
walopinu the Forest-Hill Cherubs:
Yes. the Professor was glad. and rightly
did he pull the kero. too. for the erqdite
Spiders had administered an awful druo-
blng to the Manchesterlans.
The cranks didn't expect IL, the Spiders
themselves didn't expect it, and, worst OF
all, the Ckerubs didn't either. me Hull
Street Amores went forth upon the dla-
mond full Of hope and saturated with ex-
pectstIon. Before them they saw the lri-
City League pennant, and Cupid Foster
was even cogitating as TO how he woul1
blow" his share of the fund which goes
to the laurel learners.
How wonderful are the capricss of For
tune. Yesterday Luck fairly Rugged the
Collepians. while ChIneeism weighed the
Cherubs down like a thousand OF brick.
HADA COMPLETE wALKovEB.
In the very first inning the Spiders CON-
menced their walkover. The gentleman
with the genealogical appelation-Mr.
Lemons-was in the box tor the foresS
Hills, and the Israntulas fell upon MN
and pounded him away. BY means OF four
hits. a base on balls and other Hongsong-
ist feats on the part OF their acversaries.
they gathered in four runs. And then
the Prince OF Leisure. Blan kenship, was
carried into the box being too law TO
walk there), and the Collegians fairly
knocked the trade mark of his leather.
In the fourth inning they built another
little mountain OF five runs. while IN the
seventh and eighth innings they added
two more.
The big-legged Tarheel, Jones. perfor m
ed the work OF Zig-Zagist for the Spiders,
and on the whole his twiriing was most
excellent, while the bushy- head little Celt,
Bahen. supported him in excellent style.
It was only by dint of considerable effort
that the Cherubs caught on TO the run
making trick.
Both teams played rather loosely, but
the cranks seemed satisfied.
Baby Phillips has been teething tor sew
eral days past. but having poured hba-
ton of soothing syrup into his lntantlle
throttle he went into the game with much
spirit and did well. Kain's work "a short
stop was beautiful, and two of his running
catches caused tue rootersto lumber with
JOY.
Henricus Proofsheet Ellyson slugged
tremendously with the bat, and while
composing two exceptionally bright edl-
torials IN left field he managed TO gobole
up some very pretty flies. On the other
hand. Mr.. Cleveland's confidential adviser,
McCreery, played m eKecrable game while
Teposing among the daisies.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.


NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE IDEA that
the advance in prices at the Stock Ex-
change during the past ten days or so
lad been too rapid, found many new be-
levers to-day. and In the first hour OF
business the market was weaker in con-
sequence of shifting OF position by this
class. The chronic bears, who have been
rather quiet ~ late. were not slow TO
discern the chakge In sentiment, as well
as the Withdrawal of certain operators
with bullish proclivties from active par
ticipation in clarenti market movements.
The ease with which General Electric
played right .3to their hands, and the
rumors of q Bond issue by the Chicago
Gas Company, subsequently confirmed,
gave them the first chance in over week
to bring about decline in prices.
General Electric was by far the weakest
stock on the list on reports that the di-
rectors had decided to suspend dividends.
This could not be confirmed at the COM
pany's office. however, and 1t was stated
that the matter had not come up for con-
sheraton as yet. Nevertheless, the stock
was forced down from i7fsc to iic. Chi
cago Gas was pressed Tor SAFE, ana ue-
cli1ed from 637s to 59&sc. on rumOrs OF
a 100000 bond Issue by one OF its sub
sidary companies. The heaviness of these
specialties resulted in decline OF lsGI7s
per cent. in the general list, Lake Shore
scoring the largest decline.
In the last hour of business the money
market showed tendency to rally, but
General Electric and Chicago Gao con-
tinued weak TO the close. Compared VITA
Yesterdays final figures. the active i&ues
show losses OF LM3B per cent. exceLt for
Manhattan and New England,
made slight gains. Evansville K Ierre
Haute recovered per cent, closing at 10.
The market left OF irregular. but In the
main weak. The sales of stocks we're SSJ,-
O00 shares. including 5000 shares unlisted.
