" SHERMAN DID WRONG TO WORK THE
PACIFIC BANK INTO THE SCHEME"

After writing this letter Tomblin left
MADEIRA to go to Riverside and inyestf-
gate the affairs of the Riverside Bank.
0. I. Dyer, the manager of that bank.
was then in New York ATTEMPTING TO
negotiate the securities of his institu-
ton. His sister, Miss E. c. Over. the
cashier Of the institution, was at Riv-
erside and Tomblin proceeded to bad
ger her to a point almost beyond en-
durance. The lady, however, gave him
no satisfaction, and Tomblin simply
contributed as an officious and annoy
ing agent Of the Pacific Bank to create
a run on the Riverside institution. Be-
yond this his influence had no material
effect, and his letters in connection
with the incident possess no particular
interest.
While Tomblin was carrying out his
mission to annoy Miss Dyer and to
force her to a realization of the serious
condition of her affairs Tomblin penned
an exceptionally important letter that
demonstrates two points in the great
conspiracy. In the first place the fact
is proved that r. II. Mcdonald Jr. was
warned not to permit NJ. H. Sherman
to trap him into the Los Angeles cleo
tric road scheme. Dick was deaf to the
warning. however, and Sherman's trap
was sprung. The other point that
TombIin's letter establishes is the fact
that the schemers surrounding the Nc
Donalds stood for themselves and al
ways against him after scheme had
been launched. In his letter Tomblin
congratulates Dick upon the superb
property he has obtained in the Los
Angeles electric road. AT that very
time Sherman was writing to Dick that

A DISCREPANCY OF THIRTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN THE MADEIRA BANK.

When Tomblin took charge of the
MADEIRA Bank, in October, 1891, he
wrote, This bank is rotten to the
core" and there is a discrepancy of at
least $4,000 For months he pursued
his investigation and after the com
plete reorganization of the bank went
north to investigate another wildcat
scheme of Dick Mcdonald, the Cedar
River coal mine. The McDonalds had
been inveigled into this Seattle venture
and had sunk thousands and thousands
Of dollars into it. TombIin went TO
Seattle and to the mine and reported
simply on the situation. The sugges-
lions that he offered were not feasible
and after several months in the north
Tomblin returned to resume charge of
the MADEIRA Bank. He arrived at Ma
dera In September, 1892, and reported
TO DICK that it would be extremely I'M
wise TO give up the MADEIRA Bank or
TO sell it to certain persons who seemed
eager to buy it.
Tomblin had under consideration a
project which was subsequently, real
lied to erect new bank building and
increase the operations of the institu-
uon. Ih1s, as a matter of course,
meant the expenditure of increased
. sums of money by the McDonalds, but
Iomblin had his way and the Pacific
BANK was plunged deeper and deeper
Eii0 0CHelIle- AT the same time
IomoIln suggested that the McDonalds
take an active interest in the agitation
for the division Of Fresno County and
the creation Of MADEIRA County This
scheme was also indorsed by Dick and
several more thousands of dollars were
lost to the depositors of the Pacific
Bank and through 1t to the depositors
OF the Peoples Bank. On September
~ Tomblin wrote:
The people here are very active in
pushing matters for new county, and
If successful MADEIRA will be the county
seat, which will put many thousands

claims are good, and with proper work
they can accomplish the result"

THE RIVERSIDE BANK WAS H0PELESSLY
INS0LVENT.

Two days later Tomblin wrote, still
discussing the Overs: Il returned from
Riverside last night and found your
letter, and will say 1t Is not case Of
love, but nevertheless Miss D. is good
one, and there is one person she is
afraid of and you are the individual.
This whole matter, l believe they can
be got through this month, and when
in our hands / think you should with
draw all support from them and letthem
go. 1t is my opinion they are hope
lessly insolvent. Many of the notes are
worthless. The D. S. Dorm overdraft
of $50, 900 represents right Of way for
q railroad that is now in the hands of
a receiver, which as an asset cannot
be counted for over $4,000 and probably
not that. I am putting it mildly when
l say that their entire capital stock is
absorbed / believe these are facts that
we will be compelled to face unless we
can get securities enough to slide out.
Their tendency is still to accommodate
their customers at all hazards, regard
less of your wishes"
On October Is Tomblin was back
again In MADEIRA and had the follow
ing to say about "Jayhawker," that IT.

4 FRENCH WONDER.

The French may not have treated Zola just right, but they are wonderful people. One of their wonders is the in- vention and manufacture of artificial silk. The manufacture of artificial silk on an extensive scale is rapidly in- creasing in France, and it is impossi- ble to distinguish the finished product from silk furnished by the cocoons. It's chief and only difference is that it is it is equal in appearance, and may be used in connection with it. The pro- cess by which artificial silk is manu- factured was discovered by Count de Chardennet of the French Engineer Corps, and the primary substance treated is cotton or wood pulp, which is transformed into guncotton by the action of sulphuric and nitric acids. The guncotton is then dissolved in al- cohol and 8 thick collodion is obtained, which is carefully filtered. This collo-
 
 dion is carried in pipes to the spinning room, and is distributed to spinning nozzles. From reservoirs the solution flows out through a minute orifice about 1-2,500 of an inch in diameter. The thread of cotton, in imitation of the spinneret of the silkworm, is then wound, the alcohol in the meanwhile having evaporated. The flores are now treated in the same way as cocoon flores, but first they have to be inn mersed in solution of ammonium sulphide, which destroys the nitric acid combined with the cotton. The new | process makes possible the manufac-

4 ONIET DAY.

There was Q sudden and violent ces- sation of war in the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, and though prep arations for war outside the Stock Elk change continued unabated there was a decided relaxation of the popular strain. There is, however, no news of any important change in the actual situation, and until there is fluctuations in prices of stocks or in popular feeling will not count for much It is more and more evident that there will be no war, if war can be avoided without the sacrifice of the national honor. There is no disposition anywhere, in congress or out, to interfere with the President, and the general feeling is that he will act wisely and justly when the crisis comes. Last week the crisis seemed to be at hand. There is talk now of de- lay, and war is set by some of the war riors as far ahead as next fall. It is to be hoped that it will be indefinitely postponed, and the indications are that it will be.
