Columbus special to Atlanta Journal:
The National Bank of the Republic of New
York has entered suit for the remaining
amount due on the $4,000 note made by
the Eagle and PheniN Manufacturing
Company Two thousand bales Of cotton
alleged to be in the companys warehouses;
was given as security and somewhat of a
sensation was caused when, after the
crash, the receivers announced to the rep
resentative of the New York bank who
had come here TO look up his collateral,
that his cotton could not be found. 1t was
reported that the bank received additional
security from President Bigby, upon
which $4,000 was realized. Then the bank
instituted suit for the balance. The suit
was directed against the mills and indors-
ers of the note, who were President Bigby
and several of the directors of the insti-
tuition. one of the indorsers, Samuel
Eberhart, has just filed his answer to the
suit The defendant admits the signing
of the note, but says he was merely an ac-
commodation indorser. The defendant
had presumed that the bank would have
the collateral in its power before It sur
rendered the money That the payee was
in duty bound to do this, and that failure
to secure the cotton was a fraud upon
himself. The defendant claimed that the
responsibility of seeing that the terms of
the agreement were carried out were not
his, but the banks. The defendant al
legged that the bank took from the compa-
ny its warehouse receipts for the cotton
and held the same; and that if said cotton
was not in existence as alleged by the
plaintiff, it was due to the gross negli-
gence of the bank; that if ne was held La
bic for his share of the note that he could
not resort to the collateral, the company
being insolvent; that by reason of the loss
of the cotton through the negligence of the
bank, he Ohe defendanO is relieved of
any responsibility. The defendant calls
attention to the fact that the note bears
the date of June l, 1894, and that suit was
not entered until May ), 1896; that the
bank should know that the cotton would
not be held for several years, as the
amount of cotton on hand f1uctuated. due
to the operation of the mill; that the in
diligence, under the circumstances. was
unreasonable. The defendant stated that
he thought that the note had long been
paid. He alleged that in 1896 the bank sur
rendered TO the company certain ware
mouse receipts, without notice to himself.
that the plaintiff had charged the maker
of the note and President Bigby with fraud
in furnishing to the bank cotton receipts
for cotton supposed to be in the ware
house and which was not there; and
threatened Judge Bigby with criminal
prosecution, whereupon Bigby transferred
to plaintiff certain property, amounting in
value to $4,000; that the plaintiff held the
same such length of time before selling
it, that it deprecated in value; that the
sale was made without any notice to the
defendant who was discharged of any re-
sponsibility

Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any

not in the stomach so much as in nearly

Mr.. Sumner was suffering great pain.
and, thinking his aSsailant had gone,
asked his daughter to harness the mule
and go for assistance, the stable being
about fifty yards from the house. but
the fiend had not finished his diabolical
