STRANGE BANK in NORWAY.
One Of the Most Independent Financial
Installations in the World.

One Of the Most Independent Financial
Installations in the World
From the New York Journal: The
most independent and aristocratic bank
in the world is the Norges, or Ma
tional bank Of Norway. Socially the
bank Is Of considerable Importance.
The directors meet twice week and
these friendly gatherings are said to
be most enjoyable affairs. Loans and
discounts form the chief subjects Of
conversation. No loan or discount can
be made without the approval OF
three OF the directors. The directors
are to hold a meeting one day and you
want to borrow 1000 on Monday. You
apply to Norges bank and are told that
the matter will be taken under con-
sideration ct the directors meeting on
Wednesday, and you may look for an
answer to your application on Thurs
day. It does not matter In the least
that you want the $1,000 Monday, and
not Thursday; you simply have to wait.
The origin Of this institution is as Pc
culiar as its management is unusual.
Soon after the nominal union Of Nor
way and Sweden, in 1874, the latter
country began to feel the need Of
greater money facilities to meet the
demands of the rapidly increasing com.
merce. The problem Of securing the
necessary capital for a great national
institution was a very simple one for
the Norwegian government. 1t raised
stockholders for the bank Just as It
raised soldiers for it's armies. Every
well-to-do citizen was compelled to
take so much stock. He was always
at liberty to take more If he chose,
but always in amounts divisible by
five. This national bank is also a ma
tional pawnshop. 1t is authorized by
law to lend money on any non-perish-
able goods, provided they can be de-
posted in the bank and kept under
lock and key. For this service II
charges rather less than the. usual
pawnbroker's interest, which may, per-
haps, account for the rarity Of private
pawnshops in Norway.

ENTIRE TOWN GONE.
ALTATA, MEXICO, WIPED
OFF THE MAP.
Not Building Left Standlng-One Of the
Results of the Terrible September
stOrm-ClOudburst From the Hills and
Tidal Wave From the Sea.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 10.-0n the last
trip of the Pacific coast steamship ORR
zaba up the Gulf of California the Off
GERS and crew of the vessel were sur
prised to find one of the ports they
make regularly, wiped off the earth.
When the ship reached the mouth Of
the river Culiacan, in the state of Sina-
loa, the little mining town of Alfalfa,
which had stood there on the Orizaba's
last trip, was gone. Not building
was left standing.
This was one of the results of the
terrible storm which played havoc on
the mainland coast of the Gulf, Septem-
Der II and IS.
The storm was sort of composite
affair, partalSing of the nature of
tidal wave and cloudburst. Torrents
rushed down from the hills back of
Altata and met the tidal wave carried
in from the sea, and the town was
obliterated. Many of the mines locat-
ed inland from the coast were flooded
by the cloudburst. Fortunately, the
loss of life was slight, and the Altatans
are now camping in tents or rudJly
constructed huts little back of where
the town stood.
Viewing the former site of Altata
from the gulf, the most striking objects
that meet the view are the spars of the
schoOners Cometa and Rebecca, and of
the barkentine Helena, which were
beached by the great wave.
At Matzatlan, further up the Gulf,
most remarkable result of the storm is
observed. In the middle of the main
street of Mazatlan, more than block
from the waters edge, sits a schooner
on even keel. She rode in on the tidal
wave, and when it receded was left
high and dry.
So far as Alfalfa is concerned, it is no
new thing for it to find itself off the
map. This is the third time that town
has been swallowed up by the sea.
Twice the place has been built, each
time at point further up the Culiacan
river. This time the residents will
build well in from the coast, it IS said.

Two Men Hold Up the Union Pacific In
a Utah Canyon.
OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 15.--Just as the
Union Pacific fast mail train from San
Francisco stopped at the water tank at
Patterson, a small station in the heart
of Weber canyon, west of here, two
men surprised the engineer by appear
ing from behind the water tank and
covering him with a revolver. They
then ordered the fireman to cover his
head with a cotton sack, which they
handed him. The engineer was or
dered to indicate the express carr
which he did.
While the attention of the. robbers
was distracted, the engineer started
his locomotive and escaped to Uintah,
where Superintendent O'Neill was no
titled.
Meanwhile the baggage and express
cars were uncoupled by the robbers
and run ahead of the train few hun
bred yards and both were broken open.
The robbers failed to open the safe
in the express car. The railway of
ficials say that the booty secured was
the registered mail, the value of it's
contents being unknown.
No attempt was made by the men to
modest any of the passengers.

SEVEN MEET DEATH.
Klusd BY Powder ia1plo'lon Near Mona.

Arkansas.
MENA, Ark, Oct. 17.-Last evening
about o'clock, at the camp of w. H.
Kennedy, about fourteen miles south
of Mena, occurred a most disastrous
explosion. The men were working in
loose rock, but they were compelled to
blast in order to handle it to advan-
tage. The main blast was the one they
were working on. They had difficulty
in getting it planted right and while
using steel drill, the drill struck
a stone and a spark from it ig-
nited the powder, which caused an ex-
plosion which threw dirt, rocks and
men as far as 100 yards. The killed
are: Dennis Murphy, foreman of the
powder gang; j. Ryan, j. P. Limon,
Jack Mcdonald, Pat Lacey, helpers; T,
o. Norris, water boy.
w. H. Kennedy, the contractor, was
standing close By, and was found be-
tween two dead men, more dead than
alive. He had two ribs and a collar
bone broken. Some of the men were
buried so deep under rock and dirt that
they were not found until this morn
ing. Mr.. Kennedy is in very serious
condition. All who were present were
either killed or hurt so badly they can
not talk, consequently details are hard
to get.

WILD ADVANCE in WHEAT.
The Chicago Prices Advance Five Cents
BusheI.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Wheat in Chicago
went up almost four cents bushel
to-day during the regular session,
and advanced q cent further on the
curb, selling at 76Tc for December
and over SIC for May. The price
was up nearly two cents at the start,
and it hardly stopped advancing
for a moment during the day. The
foreign markets showed more strength
than at any time yet. Over night Of
fers of wheat by cable at what looked
like extravagant prices were accepted
and advanced bids made for more.
Liverpool made an advance of three
cents. At San Francisco wheat went
up five cents. All the continental mar
kets were correspondingly strong.
There were more stories of famine in
India and of the prospect of continued
purchases of wheat for that country.
