Those who love to watch the opera
tions Of nature will find much interest
in observing how the locust leaves the
case in which it has lived for II years
in the earth. One who watched them
thus tells his story:
"Naturalists say they come out only
in the night For almost two weeks
watched them nightly, and they made
their appearance an hour before sun
down, increasing III numbers until
dark. Crawling by thousands through
the grass and over the bare ground in
their brown casing, which they are
about to throw off, they are often COW
cred with mud. Ascending weeds, posts,
fences and frame work in droves. and
particularly trees, they fix themselves
to the bark and on the leaves. At this
time they encounter many enemies, as
chickens, hogs, squirrels and birds are
very fond OF them. Our cat was seen
every evening watching in the grass,
seeming to relish them as dainty
Zone evening / secured seven on Que
branch and witnessed the operation Of
their new birth by lamplight. They
were. some time running up and down
selecting position. Once fairly fixed
the back part of the head soon becomes
smooth and glossy, as if stretched to it's
utmost tension. In five minutes from
the time of settling in position longi-
tudinal fissure appeared, showing a
threadlike white line where the split oc-
ours, on the back of the head, extending
finally from the first joint, connecting
the proboscis or forceps to the body
joint, half an inch in length. In three
minutes more the head had pressed its
way out. Gradually the fore legs were
withdrawn from their sockets-say in
one minute.
"Then the whole body swung slowly
backward, head down and feet outward,
suspended with an occasional tremor,
as if trying to extricate the hind part
and legs. When it had hung for three
minutes, it then very slowly, like an
acrobat, brought its body up to the orig
inal position, withdrew the hind legs
and body, and in two minutes more
stood outside the pupa skin i'll fall form,
an inch long, of white, waxy appear
ance, with red eyes like rubles. The
wings showed only as mass of cramped
up white film. In minute the wings
had grown to three-quarters OF an inch,
by measurement; in three minutes to
one inch and in six and half minutes
to the full size of one and quarter
inches in length and half an inch il
breadth. In 20 minutes the whole proc.
ess was accomplished. The yearly 10.

taken by the clergy and to clearly define

BANK FAILS AT SELMA,
Investigation Begun by New York
Banks Caused n Run.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 30.-The Com
mercial Bank of Selma failed to open Its
doors for business to-day Instead no
tice was posted saying that the board of
directors had decided to make an assign
ment The cause of this action was the
heavy run made on the bank in the last
few days. The bank was heavy debtor
to New York banks, among them the
Chemical. American Exchange, National
City, Third National, Bank of Montreal
and National Bank of the Republic, and
they sent an attorney some days ago 20
investigate its condition. The knowledge
of the attorneys presence had a great
deal to do with the run. The board of di-
rectors arrived at the conclusion to assign
after a long and continued session, lasting
until after midnight last night.
The officers of the bank are r. M. Nell
son, president; George A. wilkins, vice
president, and A. e. Baker, cashier.
The patrons of the bank have confidence
that it will soon resume business, and
are signing an agreement to withdraw
their deposits, one-third in three months,
one-third in six months and one-third in
nine months.
There is no public statement as yet of
the assets and liabilities. The business
men feel hopeful that the failure will not
be detrimental to their interests

ARBITRATOR MAKE AN AWARD.
Fabiani Gains His Case Against
Venezuela.

Berne, Dec 9O.-The Swiss federal coun-
Gil to-day rendered a decision in the mat
ter of the arbitration of the claims of the
French merchant and ship owner, NJ Fa-
biani, against the republic of Venezuela,
under the administration of the former
President Blanco. Fabiani asserted that
Blanco had ruined him and his claims for
indemnity were submitted to the president
of the Swiss confederation for arbitration
in 1891. The federal council in 1893 directed
Prof Virgile Rossete of the University of
Berne to examine the case and give an
opinion of the action of the Venezuelan
executive toward the complainant, who
demanded 5SOOO,O00 francs Indemnity. The
reward promulgated by the federal council
to-day, simply recognizes the fact that
justice was denied to Fabiani and fixes
the indemnity to be paid to him by the re-
public of Venezuela at 4,346, ,656 francs. The
decision solves a great many points affect
ing the rights of nations, private and inter-
national rights, and civil rights and gives
exhaustive explanations thereon. The
document, it is expected, will be of the
highest order of International value.

ment was issued by the company:
This company has for some time been
seeking to realize on its loans and secu-
rites, and has until now been able to
maintain itself without difficulty,
but the present depressed cen
dition of finances is such that
it has been unable to realize as 1t had
hoped, and the suspension within two or
three days of some of the banks of the
il. - se.
available funds has somewhat embarrass-
ed it in the tranaction of it's business.
Independent of it's assets. the company
has list of responsible stockholders, who
are abundantly able to make good any
deficiency that may result from deprecia-
ton in the value of its assets so that the
creditors of the company need have no APP
prehension as to the ultimate results.
Their claims will all be paid in full, even
if the company is not permitted to imme-
diately resume business as is now hoped"

$500,000. Judge Jamison issued a restrain
ing order returnable at 10 o'clock to-

PAULsEN WANTS DAMAGES.
He Asks For an Injunction Against
the Atlas Bank.

Chicago, Dec. 3O.-W. A. Paulsen, who
was the principal owner of the failed Cen
trail Trust and Savings Bank, filed bill
in the circuit court to-day to restrain the
Atlas National Bank from disposing of a
note for $4,000 made by him to the bank,
and to restrain President Grannis and
Charles B. FarweIl, a director and ex-
United States senator, from disposing of
their own property, so that Paulsen can
not collect any of the damages he may be
awarded at the trial of his suit for $3.50, 900
against the bank and Grannis and Far
well, in connection with the $4,000 note,
and the closing Of Paulsen's bank by the
failure of the Atlas to clear for 1t. In his
bill, Paulsen sets up the liquidation Of the
Atlas Bank now in progress, and states
his belief that Notwithstanding all depos-
itors are being paid in full, It is hopelessly
insolvent, and will not pay its depostors
from It's own funds. He also alleges that
the Atlas Bank still holds him as an en-
dorser on the 10000 note, although the
courts have held it to be fraudulent and
also unlawfully withhold $4,000 collateral
bonds belonging to him.

o'M1LLES's ARREST.
His Counsel Trying TO Have Him Re-
leased ON hail.


Chicago, Dec SO--A petition was pre-
scented to Judge Gibbons this afternoon by
Attorney w. S. Forrest on behalf Of AL
derman Thomas j. o'Malley. asking that
a writ of habeas corpus. be issued so that
the alderman, who Is confined in jail with
out the choice OF giving bail, could be
brought into court and force the states
attorney to disclose some of the testimony
on which O'Malley was indicted, as an all
legged accomplice In the murder Of Gus
tave Colliander.
Judge Gibbons issued the writ and made
1t returnable by the sheriff tomorrow
morning. The petition states that Judge
Tuey who endorsed the indictment and
capias mo bail" made no inquiry ;sssc the
case at the time, and was misled by AS
sistant States Attorney Pearson. It Is
asserted that at least thirty persons, de-
scribed by the police To be pickpockets,
highwaymen and criminals Of the Market
street gang, have been accused OF this
murder, and attempt to steal a ballot box,
while Alderman O'Malley has always been
a respected citizen and business man.
On the states side Il Is alleged that an
election Judge at the polling place at
tackled, swore before the grand jury that
O'Malley was foremost among the raid
ers; that he demanded the ballot box and
fiourished a revolver In Colliander's direc-
tion when the fatal volley OF shots was
fired by the gang.
