blood and urine, sent from all parts OF
the United States for examination. At
this season of the year the Doctor is
treating several thousand people afflicted

A CLASH WITH ECKELS.
Trouble Arises Over the Bank Failure
at Newport, Ky.

Trouble Arises over the Bank Fallure
at Newport, Ky.
CINcINNATI, Jan. 27.-A sensational
feature has arisen in the settlement Of
the affairs of the First National bank
of Newport, which seems to involve q
clash between the state court and the
comptroller Of the currency.
Some of the depositors have filed a
suit asking for the appointment of re-
ceiver, alleging that the directors have
abandoned the management of the
affairs OF the bank and that Cashier
Youtsey, who owes the bank $l50,00O,
is disposing of his property and giving
preference to certain creditors. No
officer of the bank appeared to oppose
the application and Judge Helm granted
it and it is said will appoint John T,
Hodge receiver. By what means the
order of the court will be enforced is
not made apparent. Receiver Wiltshire,
appointed by Comptroller Eckels, il
still in charge.

night, shortly after midnight, Superin-
tendent Dole was aroused by one of the
men employed at the gas plant on the
Hampton road, who stated that there
was a bad leak somewhere in the city,
and that the holder at the gas works in
stead of going up, was fast dropping
down. Mr.. Dole and crew of men i'm
mediately started to find the leak.
Early risers noticed strong smell of
gas on Harlow street, near the foot of
kenouskeag avenue, and before daylight

Of Revolutionary soldiers, seven survivors
of the war of 1879, and 28l widows of that
war, 10, 1894 survivors and widows of the
Mexican war, and 6,e61 survivors and
widows of Indian wars, who are on the
pension rolls. There are now on the rolls
more than 700 900 sol lers of the late war,
and the commissioner reasons that, if we
are now paying pensions to widows of
soldiers of the Revolution and of the War
of 1872, we shall still have large pen

though the soldiers who participated in
the rebellion may all be dead.
The recommendation of the commissioner
Of pensions which is endorsed by the SEQ.

the government gladly gives to those who
shared with him the sufferings incident
to his service. This is a subject which
the veterans themselves have sometimes
considered and in which they are inter-
