DEATH OF MRS. LINDSAY.

Following her husband, the late DR..
John F. Lindsay, by just two months
and II days, Mrs. Rosanna w. G.
Lindsay, died last Sunday afternoon
at about quarter past 2 o'clock.
Shortly after the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Lindsay, who had enjoyed
the best of good health nearly all of
her long life, suddenly began to fail
rapidly. DR.. Carothers, some weeks
ago, diagnosed her malady as an in
durable one, and the end came as the
immediate result of uremic poisoning.
Though not native, Mrs. Lindsay
had been a resident of Yorkville for
55 years. She was native of Boston,
Mass, and came to this place in 1S43
as a member of the faculty of the
Yorkville Female college, which insti-
tuition she helped to organize and es-
tablish. She was married to DR..
Lindsay in 1S45, and at the time of
her death was in the 18th year of her
age.
Mrs. Lindsay's mother was Win
slow, and she was a direct descendant,
in the seventh generation, from Gov
ernor Winslow and Mary Chiffon, both
of whom were brought to America on
the first trip of the Mayaower. Mary
Chiffon, it will be remembered, was
the first woman to land at Plymouth
Rock. Although the family of the
deceased still has a few relics of the
MayAower expedition, most of them
are carefully preserved as historical
treasures in Pilgrim Hall. Up to the
time of her death, however, Mrs.
Lindsay took much pride in keeping
up her membership in the famous So
ciety of "Colonial Danes"
Mrs. Lindsay was endowed by ma
ture with an unusually strong intellect,
which she cultivated with persevering
industry up to the last days of her life.
Her circle of friends and acquaintances
was large; but being of a modest, self
contained disposition, her circle of in
Inmates was small. Those only who
knew her best can appreciate the ex-
tent to which her wise counsel and
enthusiastic cooperation assisted her
late husband, and only these are able
to realize the full extent of the benefi-
cent effect her well-lived life has exer-
cised on the social and religious prog
ress of the town of Yorkville and the
community surrounding.
The funeral took place last Monday
afternoon ct 4 o'clock, the services
being conducted by Rev. ]. K. Hal,
of Bethesda, assisted by Rev. W. G.
Neville. The same pallbearers who
served at the funeral of her husband
served at her funeral also, and so far
as was possible, all the details of the
latter occasion were carried out under
circumstances that were identical with
the former.

- There is one thing that the "Cost

fit has against THE ENQUIRER that
looks real bad. The county board Of
commissioners really did "disallow"
an item of S11.10 in a bill recently
rendered by US. The insinuation of
our esteemed friends is that the claim
was refused, and it follows that the
reason would be because it was not
just. This, if true, would prove that
the management of THE ENQUIRER is
as dishonest as we have shown the
managers of our esteemed contem-
porary to be. But we happen to know
that even at the time it made it's insin-
uation, our esteemed contemporary
knew that the claim had not been
"refused" by the board, and we have

YORKVILLE, s. c.:
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1898.

1t is pretty we'll settled that by
the loss of Cuba, Spain saves $lO,OO0,-
900 a month, and now the question is,
what are we to gain by the acqui-
sition of the island?

1t now looks like those who be-
lieved that the war would last only
about three months were the best
guessers. Those of US who figured on
a longer period, either had too much
confidence in the prowess of Spain, or
two little confidence in the prowess of
the United States.

Money in Bank

NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes
Surplus reserve, increase. So, $50, IT'S; loans.
increase, $40, ,607. 900; specie increase. S. los,
TOO; legal tenders. increase, s307 300; de-
posits Increase, s108 $40, 400; circuia ton. In
crease, $4,000. The banks now hold $23, ,412,-
325 In excess Of the requirements of the Is
per cent rule.
The Financier says: New York is again
the cheapest money market in the world.
and the bank statement for the current
week indicates that for some time to come
It is to hold that distinction. The changes
that In five weeks brought an expansion In
the surplus reserve from 1920 400 to S23-
412.3 1926 and swelled the deposits nearly $46.-
900 have been so rapid that their sig
nif1cance Is not fully appreciated. They
emphasize the return to easter conditions.
due in part to the liberal policy of the treas
ury with respect to public deposits, and also
to the favored position of the United States
with regard to International exchange.
While European discounts last week moved
up, American money receded. Specie re-
ceipts, both from Europe and the Pacific
coast, were considerable. and the subtreas-
ury's operations were in favor Of the banks.
This accounts for the gain of $S. 1d5, 700 in
gold. The intermovement, what little there
was of 1t this fall, seems al an end and the
flow of money is again in this direction
The increase Of 1907, 700 in legal tenders is
to be attributed to receipts from this
source. The heavy gains in deposits, In
view of the loan and cash changes, is just
about normal"

Among the successful reorganizations OF
the past year that of the old Oregon I'm
provement company, under the title of the
Pacific Coast company, is entitled to more
than passing notice, says ,Bradstreets. Due
attention has been already given to the fact
that although the financial reconstruction of
this corporation was only completed on the
first of last December it has already begun
the payment of dividends on all classes Of its
stock. The annual report of the company
Just issued covers the seven months ending
June 30, and displays exceedingly satisfac-
tory results. The net earnings for this Pc
riod were 1856, ,S561 and the surplus over in
terest and depreciation charges S48l ,975,
while after paying full dividends on the
1852, 600 of first and second preferred stocks
and per cent upon the company's 81, ,OOO, 900
Of common stock there was balance of
$l37 1898. While the corporation owns a
number of local railroad lines in the Pacific
northwest, its principal business is in steam
ship transportation on the coast and its in
land waters. Of the net earnings given
above S4l4, ,438 were derived from the com
pany's steamship lines. It would be natural
to suppose that these favorable results were
due to the increased business caused bv the
Klondike travel and traffic. Stranae To
say, officials are quoted az saying that Alas-
kan business was much less profitable to the
Pacific Coast company than might be sun
posed, and that, in fact, some Of the vessels
employed in that department Of it's business
failed to earn sufficient to pay the expense Of
their charters.

Lie Insurance Decision

In the case of Kendall Va. Equitable Life
Assurance company recently decided by the
supreme Judicial court of Massachusetts, it
appeared that the plaintiffs husband as
signed to one Russell a $4,000 policy on his
life to secure a note for $500, the transac-
tion being agreed to by the plaintiff for
whose benefit the policy was entered into.
It was agreed by the insured that the as.
signee should advance the premiums in or
der to keep the policy alive, and charge in
terest on the same at the rate of per cent
month. It was contended by the plain
tiff that her husbands assignee could only
demand under the agreement the payment OF
$500 and interest, she not being aware of the
subsequent agreements of her husband. The
supreme court, affirming the decision of the
trial court, held that the assignee was en-
titled to hold the policy as security for the
performance of all the agreements of the
insured.
