President Taylor stated the object of
the meeting to be to explain to the
stockholders the exact condition of the
bank. The complete inventory of
assets and liabilities, as filed with the
court, was read by Isaac Harr, and the
good notes and judgments were separ-
ated from those considered bad or
doubtful, and a conservative estimate
of value placed upon the realty of the
bank, with following result;
Good notes and judgments.,. $15, 1855
Realty ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 10, 3OV
Total. ............. $2o, 55G
This leaves 1874, 624 in notes and judg-
ments doubtful. The liabilities are
$29, 900, and the stockholders are so
we'll satisfied that depositors will be
paid in full that the following resolu-
ton introduced by E. H. West was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
stockholders of the Watauga Bank in
meeting assembled after duly canvass
ing all the assets of the bank, item by
item, that by judicious, economical and
cautious administration, the creditors
of the bank will be paid in FULL and
that it is their opinion that it will
be derogatory to the interests of all
concerned to force the sale of the real
estate of the bank at this time, and we,
therefore, urge the creditors TO allow
the trust to be administered, so as not
to force a sale of real estate only as
the same may be disposed of at prices
approximating it's actual value.
The following resolution by Cy FL
Lyle was also adopted unanimously:

jeremiah Satchel. The leo wagon was trun-
ding slowly along when Miss Opel and o mar
companion. both on bicycles. approached in the
opposite direction. The man turned to the right
to pass around the wagon. but Miss Opel
turned to the left, and the driver of the wagon
pulled his horses around to avoid a collision.
This evidently ratified the young woman, for
she lost control of the wheel and ran it directly
between the front and hind wheels of the wagon.
She was thrown, and the truck. which contained
three tons of ice, passed over her left leg, crush
ing It.
Park Policeman Brennan. who witnessed the
accident from Washington Square. summoned
an ambulance and placed the driver under ar
rest. The young woman was suffering from
shock when taken to st. Vincent's Hospital. and
it was said that 1t would probably be necessary
to amputate the leg. .

tity was not learned. If jefferson Market Courts

Features or the Annual BuIIion Hunt ut the
Assay Onlce.
A committee OF three expert employees Of the
Treasury Department at Washington is now at
work at the local Assay Office supervising the
annual settlement Of tho accounts of tho melter
and refncr. b. I. Martin. and the vertical

which about ia 900, 900 Is bullion and the rest
IL coin.
The work began with a sweeping of the Assay
Office roof to got thereby the ST ray particles Of
the precious metals that might have escaped
through the chimneys. The furnaces and fues
will be torn down and the watts, chimneys, and
floors will he &c raped. Tho material thus OBJ
tanned will be put into cruciblos and reduced.
81 Pine street, adjoining the Assay Ofioe. com.
planned recently of certain fumes which they
said came from the institution. These fumes
were due to escaping vapor from the gold stews
below, and permission was obtained from the
banking house OF Kuhn, Loeb Il Co., owners OF
the building. to sweep the roof. An assay of
these sweepings showed gold at the rate Of 5000
to the ton. At various times tho roofs OF other
buildings near the Assay Office have boen swept.
which Is directly to tho west, have yielded good
results.
Just now the semi-annual cOuntings are in
progress at the minis throughout the country,
as well as the annual settlements at the Assay
Offices. In order To make room for the counters
at the Philadelphia Mint, the mint has shipped to
