oldest and best known banking business
institutions in the city, with assets
amounting to nearly sl5,ooO,o0O, did not
open its doors Monday morning. The
closing Of the bank was caused by the
unwarrantable and iniudiolous loans,
through which the capital and surplus OF
said bank is seriously imperiled, If not
absolutely lost. The cashier said "by the
grace of God, the bank would pull

IT appears now that the National Guards

pay by order of City Council. If the at
tempted steal to count Shoriff VIM. II.

the militia were to be called out to pre-

authority as police force. In other words,
if the steal had gone through and the Re-
publicans present had attempted to make
any show of resistance to the dastardly
act then the militia were to have been
used to coorce them. The conflict then
would have been between the Deputy
Sheriffs and the police force, assisted Iy

THE CAssARD.-A dispatch from
Norfolk says: 1.-The steamer Howard
Cassard, which was expected to lower
the worlds speed record, has proven a
dismal failure. 1t was anticipated that
she would make thirty miles an hour,
and her owners have spent several for.
tunes trying to develop this speed. For
several weeks past she has been at the
yards of the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company, having
her machinery put in shape for the
high speed test outside the capes. The
trial trip, which was somewhat delayed
by the shipyard strike, took place last
week, and the queer little craft only
made eight miles an hour. This effect
ually explodes the theory that she will
be used as Cuban filibuster, for the
slowest Spanish gunboats could easily
overhaul her if she could make no
greater speed than that recorded on her
trial trip. To cap the climax of disas.
ter which has followed the Cassard ever
since she was built, she has been libel
led for wages due, and will probably be
sold under the hammer.

STEALING FLOWERS has been
great deal of complaint of late about
the stealing of flowers in the various
grayeyards. This sort of vandalism
should be stopped and that quickly,
and the parents of the children who
bring home the flowers, should inquire
as 10 where the procured them The
superintendent of the cemeteries, Mr..
f. W. Webb, on last Friday saw two
girls, one about Is years old and the
other S years old, taking flowers from
the graves. He called to them to stop
and they ran from MIN. He chased
them as far as the Southern railway sta
ton and then lost sight of them, but he
says he can recognize them if he sees
them again. A woman, some years
back, who used to 60 at night in the
graveyards and gather up all the flow
ers, shells and other ornaments she
could fiud and sell them in Washing
ton, was at last detected and, upon
promising not to do so again, she
was released. 1t is said she died in an
insane asylum from remorse.

Mr.. Ferry's Othello has been praised

The young Alexandria actress, Miss

of Desdemona, a character in which
she has achieved considerable dissinc-

Infrmary is the object of the entertain
ment, one that should appeal to every
one in the city, and this being the first
time for many years Othello has been
performed here, large audience should
be the result.
