IN MUSICAL CIRCLES
A New Male Organization on the Mask and
Wig Club Lines.
Mem bcrs Call Themaelves the .sJOnnie
JuniOrs"-Other Matters of
Local Intercst.

A new musical organization has been
formed in this city which is on the lines OF
the former Mask and Wig Club. Tie
members are from among the sons Of con-
federete veterans and they call themselves
the 'Jonnie Juniors" They will have for
patrons the leading southern ladies in
Washington and in the principal cities in
the south. The "Jonnie Juniors do not
contemplate limiting their field to Washing
ton, but shortly after their initial appear
ance ct Columbia Theater will take a run
to Baltimore and later to Norfolk, and on
April q start on a tour of the south, to
Atlanta, then TO Nashville, Tenn, in time
for the confederate veterans reunion to be
held there during the great Tennessee ex-
position.
A committee is already in communication
with the southern lines of railroads in ref
erence to special train, consisting of one
sleeper. a dining car, one day coach and
baggage car, the idea being for the club to
live on its own train while en- route.
Prof. N. DuShane Glow ard has been Sc
lected as the director and has decided that
the club shall first appear In THE Mikado'
and later in "Erminie." The chorus now
numbers over thirty and will start rehears-
al tonight at Mr.. Cloward's studio. The
cast has not been completed, although most
Of the principal rolls have been decided on
1t Is but natural that the southern ladies'
should take an active interest in the sue
cess OF the boys. and they can be relied on
to make the finances an assured fact, par
iicularly as the proceeds Of the local per-
formances are to be used as fund to
guarantee the expense of the trip south,
In addition to the leading local southern
families 1t Is expected that every represen-
tative and senator from the south will be
on the list Of patrons. or their wives on list
of patronesses.
The business affairs Of the club are in
the hands of an executive board of which
the veteran Captain Hickey Is president.
The captain has taken such a warm inter-
est in the organization which he started of
the sons Of confederate veterans that the
orfginators Of the "Jonnie Juniors insisted
on his accepting the presidency of the new
club. The active management of the club
is in the hands Of A. N. Breckinridge man.

DISPUTE ABOUT THE RECEIvERSHIP
The State Treasurer Claims the Right to
Appoint and He Win Insist on Gen.
Cowles Taking Charge Of
the Bank,

The Piedmont Bank at Morganton Is
in a worse condition than anybody had
dreamed. The State bank examiner
Mr.. S. l.. Crowder, telegraphs the State
Treasurer as follows, touching its coRdi.
ton:
"Bank insolvent. On hand: Notes So
406.65; cash and cash items, $1,21S.3I
real estate, $1,000; due depositors. $4O,-
254.04."
Only one month ago, the officers of the
bank made a splendid report to the
State Treasurer. A Philadelphia capt.
talist is the principal stakeholder, it is
said.
As to the receivership Of the bank,
there's quite a middle. This arises from
the fact that there is some question as
to who is entitled to name the receiver
the State Treasurer or the creditors.
OF the latter there are several factions
and each faction wants to appoint the
receiver.
Treasurer Worth asked Judge Robin
son to appoint Gen. A. ID. Cowles, of
Statesville, and it was done Friday at
Harnett court. One faction of the
creditors wanted w. e. Walton and
Judge Hoke appointed him. Another
faction declared its intention of asking
Judge Green to make /. ]. Davis re-
ceiver, while still another indicated its
intention of asking the appointment OF
Horace Connolly.
Whether or not the two last named
factions carried out their intention is
not known, but it is certain that the
first one did, as is shown in the follow
ing to the State Treasurer from Bank
Examiner CrowdRr, who is now in
Morganton, in charge of the bank:
Judge Hoke has appointed w. g.
Walton, Of this place. His appointment
Is only temporary. l Will hold possession
until Gen. Cowles takes charge. Will
not recognize any other receiver
The Treasurer claims that under the
decision of the case of Tate VS.. Bank
of Wilmington, the power to appoint q
receiver is placed in his hands and he
will therefore insist on Cowles taking
charge.
Gen. Cowles spent yesterday here
preparing his bond $4,000, and receiv'
ing instructions from the Treasurer. He
left on the afternoon train. He will
take charge of the bank Monday.
Later he will probably be made per
manent receiver.
