Closed Its Doors.

Lansing, Mich, July 13.-The Peoples Savings bank did not open it's doors this morning. The bank has been on the ragged edge for some time, but up to Sat urday it was believed It's difficulties could be tided over. Rumors became rife Sat- urday afternoon about closing time that the bank was unsound and a slight run was perceptible The directors volunta- rily sent for Commissioner Sherwood and an agreement was reached that the Michigan Trust company should be ap- pointed receiver. The bank had capital of s150000. It's failure is due to the im- possibility to realize on it's assets, owing to the stringency of the money market and the gradual withdrawal of deposits. The steady withdrawal of deposits left the bank in such a crippled condition 1t could not continue business. None of the other local banks are involved in the Peoples banks misfortune, and it's clos ing has caused but little excitement.

RICHARD H. CLARKE COMING He Will Speak at Capitol Park
 Tonight, BAND WILL PLAY "DlXlE" All Birmingham Will Turn Out to Hear the Statesman From the Gulf Advocate
 Democratic Principles.

Hon. Richard H. Clarke will address the citizens of Birmingham and vicinity tonight at Capitol park.
 Colonel Clarke has many friends in this city who were his ardent supporters for the nomination for governor even against their own townsman. Capt. Jo- seph F. Johnston, agreeing with him in his views on the financial question, that was the paramount issue and on which the battle was fought both for the nomi- nation for governor and the presidency of this great republic. But, like Colonel Clarke, these citizens are democrats, and while they have cherished their personal opinions on this grave question, like par ty patriots they have yielded to the voice of the majority-a democratic precedent as old as the party itself-and are now as true to the candidates and the cause they represent as any man who marched under the banner of free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. As Is but natural these followers still honor their leader in factional contest and have made ar engagements to give him reception that can but make him feel proud to know that democrats can differ on questions of public policy and brother face brother almost to the drawing of the saber and shield the same gith the grace of a hero when principle Is assailed by common enemy.
 Birmingham welcomes the coming of Col. R. H. Clarke, and his words of wis., dom we dare say will be as oil upon the troubled waters and will set at rest the unfounded rumor that there lives in Jeff ferson county a single democrat of the old school or of younger tutorage who ia not willing to bow meekly to the will of the majority, honestly expressed by a free and open ballot, as to the best prin- ciples to be inculcated in the government of his party and the measures that should be advocated.
 Let Birmingham turn out en masse to hear Richard H. Clarke and let her show him we are democrats and not rene- grades, party patriots not hybrids, color bearers, not sticklers,

COME ALL YE DEMOCRATS
And Rally Round the New
 Standard Bearers.
HEAR WORDS OF WISDOM
And JoIIify, Ratify and Raise the Cry of Vic tory for Bryan, Sewall and
 Democracy"

We have met the enemy and they are ours! We have Hill with us still, very still, as he admits, but those of us who don't feel like being quite so still at the present stage of the proceedings wish to convene and make the welkin resound little with ratification of the ticket, jubi- lation on the platform and exultation over the glorious victory. Not since the nomination and election of James K. Polk, the brilliant young congressman from Tennessee, in 1S46, has the demo- cratic party chosen it's standard bearer from the west or south, except in l56O, when slavery and secession rent the states and party asunder in national con- Vention.
 All these long years has the party been forced by tho money power of the east to accept a leader from the shadow of Wall street, and Tammany politicians, with Tammany methods, have controlled national politics almost as completely as they have controlled ward politics in New York city. But now, with the spirit of democracy, which did ever rebel against tyranny, the scepter of demo- cratic power in America has passed ito plains and valleys further west than
 your shores island (Manhattan) of the
 blast"
 Our party has selected young David from among the shepherds of the west ern plains, who clad alone in the armor of a. righteous cause, will go forth to meet and vanquish the Goliath of pro- lection and gold standard Philistines. The premises considered. a mass meet ing Is hereby called for Thursday, July IS, at S30 D. m., in front of the court house, where a platform will be erected, from which five minute speeches will be
 delivered by Dr. K. M. Cunningham, John w. Tomiinson, A. O. Lane, J. J. Alt

Dolphus Toler Meets Death at the Hands of John Medlock-The Latter Makes
 Good His Escape.

Dolphus Toler, a negro, was killed Sunday night about S:3O o'clock at the corner of Third alley and Fourteenth street by John Medlock, another negro. Both negroes were married and from what could be learned Toler had gone to Medlock's house against the latter's wishes. Herwas there Sunday and Med lock told him if he came back again he would kill him. Toler came to police headquarters and told what Medlock had said, and on leaving remarked that he was going back there and if Medlock fooled with him somebody would get killed"
 Toler went back there and, 1t seems, went into the house. What occurred pre- vious to the killing could not be learned. but shortly after entering the house a pistol shot was heard and Toler was found with a mortal wound In his body and Medlock gone. The negro died in a short time.

STRIKE AT ISHKOODA.
An Empoye Writes a Letter but Fails to Sign It-food for Thought That More Trouble
 May Be Expected.

The State Herald received letter yes- terday from Ishkooda giving .the com plaint made by the employees as to the cause of the strike now on. On account of the writer failing to sign his name to the letter the State Herald is compelled to refuse it publication. In substance the letter states that the cause of the strike is the result of exorbitant prices charged for goods at the commissary and the inability of the employees to se- cure a regular pay day. Also that while they are paid 60 cents instead of 50 cents per ton, under the new contract, that instead of mining 2000 pounds they are required to mine 22O0 pounds for a ton.
 The writer also gives the prices for goods which the employees are required to pay. which he claims are all out of reason.
 The strike is said to be assuming a serious aspect and may culminate In a general strike throughout the district.

1T WAS A SUCCESS.
Dr.. Ralph M. Russell, Assisted by w. C. Har- ris, Jr., the Expert Electrician, Uses
 the X Ray Successfully

E Dr. Ralph M. Russell gave an exhibl- tion of the Roentgen, or as Is more com monly known the x rays, at his office last evening. There were quite num- Der of invited guests present, among whom were several physicians, news paper reporters, citizens and a few ladies.
 Many interesting results were shown, among which were the examination of the various bones in the body by means of the horoscope. Penetration of these rays through solid substances was clearly shown as perfectly practicable. Solid substances such as books, boards, brick and other similar material could be easily seen through and objects on the opposite side readily described.
 Among the various features shown was the photograph of the hand of MT. J. S. P. Whitson, showing an fnjurysto the bone of the little finger caused by an injury sustained over ten years ago; also of the foot of MT. Herbert Phelps, which very plainly locates a bullet embedded below the second joint of the big toe.
 Dr. Russell was assisted in this work by MT. w. c. Harris, Jr., of the firm of Harris & Williamson, the electricians of this city, who installed the apparatus complete.
 Horoscope have been successfully used and operated in the south.
 To use this apparatus a special dark room is necessary and in 1t are placed a coil, which is used to give the high pres sure current necessary to operate the Crookes tube, which is the source of the rays. A regular electric light current is used to operate the coil being reduced by special apparatus designed here.
 There is no doubt as to the successful operation of the apparatus, as the re- suits obtained as above described were witnessed by some of the most proml- nent citizens of the city,

The Deputy Was Too Quick.

George Price, colored, was killed by Deputy Sheriff N. B. Gay Sunday while resisting arrest. MI. Gay had a warrant for Price and when he went to arrest him the latter made an attempt to pull a gun, but the deputy was too quick for him and drawing his pistol fired, the ball entering the negros body and his death resulted in a short time. Price had the reputation of being an ugly man to handle
