day by the deposltors OF the Ale
ghany Bank, OF Clifton Forge, which in
stitution had made an assignment the
day before, presented its report at IL
o'clock this morning. The liabilities are
placed at $55.3)993, with assets amount
ing TO s3s267.53. While these figures may
not be absolutely correct, 1t is believed
the variation will not be- much. DEPOSIT
tors will probably realize from 60 10 20
per cent, and they will be paid off by the
trustee, II. T. Nelson, Esq, as quickly
verted into money.
The depositors are quite numerous and
are largely made up Of workingmen at
the railroad shops here, and of train
men.
For several months previous to the
failure of the Allegheny Bank the man
agement Of the Trust and Saving Bank.
OF Lynchburg, Va, had in contemplation
the opening of branch of their house
here. The officers OF this bank, it now
seems, when they learned that the Ale
ghany Bank had closed it's doors, at once
decided to put their idea into effect. and
are here and ready TO go TO work in the
morning. Mr.. Ben V. Booth, lately as
ISOLATED with the First National Bank,
of Lynchburg. will be the cashier of the
new bank. He has purchased from the
trustees Of the defunct bank all OF its
furniture and Office fixtures, and 10
change in location will be made
The officers Of the Clifton Forge branch
of the Lynchburg Trust and Savings
Bank. which will open in the morning,
claim that with a fully paid up capital
of $4,000 and a surplus fund of $4,000.
and with assets more than thrice the
amount of their liabilities, they present
every inducement that can be given for
patronage by a safe. progressive. and
sound management. They are extended a
oordfal welcome.

COAL FOR BUENOs AYREs.
A Very Deliberate suicide-Small
POx Abating.

NORFOLK. VA, September 2s.-(Spe-
cial THE remarkable popularity Of Vir-
GINA coal is demonstrated by the open
ing for the famous Pocahontas coal o. a
new coaling station AT Buenos Ayres,
Argentine Republic. A large number OF
ships will shortly sail from Lamberts
Point to Buenos Ayres with cargoes of
coal.
During a 1T of dependency, Julius
Croker. Of Portsmouth. committed sui
eide in the presence of his child after first
sending his wife away. Crocker's act was
deliberately planned He had gotten out
clean underclothes, In which he evidently
wished to be buried, and spread them on
the bed. Then, divesting himself Of his
outer clothing, he sat down. on the bed,
placed a pistol against his breast, and
fred. Croker was formerly a hotel
waiter.
Smallpox. which has been almost cpl
demic among the colored population Of
Norfolk county. is not nearly so preva-
lent now as a week ago. There are now
only two patients in the pest-house, few
suspicious cases, and no new ones re-
ported.
Mr.. John Mariner, anticipating that
out-of-town visitors to the State Fair
would like to visit the yard and inspect
the ships there. has asked the Navy De-
partment to allow visitors free ingress
through the yard gates during the week
OF the fair. 1t is understood thet the
effort will be seconded by the business
organization.
A feature of the Virginia State Fair.
which opens here next Tuesday, will be a
Derby race. The prizes will be $3.50 and

AN ANIMAL's REVENGE.
Further Particulars of the kiliinS
of Robert Edwards.

HEATHSVILLE, VA, September D.
Especial Robert ]. Edwards was buried
Yesterday. His DEATH an account OF
which appeared in the Dispatch, was the
most terrible affair that has happened
here for many years. The horse that KILL
ed him was a colt that Edwards had
reared He had driven the horse in the
afternoon and in speeding him was COM
PEELED TO use the whip to keep him down
10 work. The horse had been known 10
be unruly, but was not thought 10 De
dangerous When Edwards went In the
stable a short time after returning nome
the horse turned upon him. The man was
taken by surprise and at a complete dls-
advantage. The savage beast seized MIN
by the flesh of the leg and shook him as
IL ne had been a rat. John Edwards,
brother OF the deceased, heard the noise
OF the conflict and ran in to rescue his
brother He did succeed once in making
the demon release his victim, but John
Edwards had one of h.a fingers bitten on
and the blood-thirsty animal turned again
IN his first victim Edwards was finally
gotten I'm the manger but the horse never
ceased the fight until he was knocked
sanseless with a club in the hands or
the brother.
Edwards's leg was terribly mangled,
and the bones and flesh were crushed
and torn by the teeth OF the horse. Drs.
Tankard, Cockrell. and Sydnor, who at
tended him. hoped he would revive sum-
GENTLY for the amputation OF the limb.
but he never recovered from the snock
OF his terrible fight for life. In the ngnt
between brute and man the brute had
won. Edwards fingered In great agony,
bur was conscious up 10 the time Of his
death. He was in every way a popular
and deserving citizen. The horse is yet
alive. and IL is not known what DISPOSE
ton will be made OF him.

claI)-The Presbyterian Synod OK VIZ
ginia met at o'clock this morning, ana

teen more ruling elders were enrolled

eign missions, $4,000; for the assembly's

ton, $3.50; for the invalid fund, 1915;

one Of the synod's evangelists, preached
to a congregation that filled the church

ton which filled every seat in the
church.

its report. which showed that the
churches had given for this work 1850,
and that five evangelists have been en-
ployed who have labored in seven presby-
teries The work is in a very encouraging
and prosperous condition. but the com
mittee pleads for larger contributions In
order to extend the work.

an earnest plea for evangelistic work in
the cities and counties around Hampton
Roads. which are filing up so rapidly
with an unevangelized population. Rev.
John Z. Wool told of his work as evan

AN OYSTER CASE.
Test Made in the AccOmac County
Court.

Court.
ONANCOCK, VA, September 2S-(Spe-
cial "A case of great interest 10 the oys-
termen Of this State came up Monday In
our County Court before Judge Ross. The
oyster law of the State prohibits the
taking Of oysters during certain months
Of the year, whether upon the public or
leased grounds OF the State. and the law
further prohibits the taking OF oysters
upon any grounds in Pocomoke Sound
and other certain waters Of the State by
dredging, thereby rendering IL necessary
that longing and other slow and costly
methods be used IN handling the oysters
upon these grounds. These prohibitory
laws. the planters claim, are not only I'M
wise and unjust, in that they prohibit the
sale and use of their own property at any
season they may desire, but also prohibit
the use of the rapid and inexpensive Ia
bor-saving devices now in vogue in the
handling and marketing of that species
Of property.
In order to test the consttutionality of
these restrictive and balefui measures
the chief planters on Muddy creek-a
tributary of Pocomoke Sound-E. T.
Somers & Co. proceeded 10 dredge their
planted oysters placed upon grounds
leased OF the state, during one OF tnS
past summer months. AS agreed upon,
their arrest and trial quickly followed.
The case was very ably argued by Ben
iamin T. Gunter. Esq, for the Common
wealth, and by Ex-State- Senator Subbs
and James II. Fletcher, Esq, for the de-
fence Judge Ross, in convicting them,
confirmed the validity of the statute.
Thereupon an appeal was Immediately
taken. 1t is the intention of these plant
ers to carry the case TO the highest tribu-
nal of the State, confident, it seems, that
their claim is legal and just one.
If the decision of the lower court In
this case is upset, and the right of the
planters TO take their oysters at such
times and by such methods as they deem
best TO their own interests, shall be con-
firmed by the Supreme Court of Appeals.
the oyster business of this State will be
quickly revolutionized.
