THE ARMY CHRISTIAN COM MISSION.

When the call came for volunteers
the international and State committees
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion appointed army committees to es-
tablish and maintain christian work
among the young men of the army, The
committee of this State is composed Of
Mr.. W. A. Cunning and Prof. Weber,
of Jackson. and DR.. r. W. Jones, Of the
State University.
Tents have been established in both
the First and Second Mississippi Regi-
ments, we'll equipped with tables,
chairs, good reading matter; the daily
and home papers; checkers, chess and
other games: paper, pens, ink, ETC., for
correspondence; song books and other
features. Religious services and Bible
classes are conducted and much is being
done to keep men in the ways of right
eousness. One young man expresses
his opinion as follows:
The Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton is the most useful organization
ever gotten up in modern times for the
advancement OF the soldiers Of the
army; it deserves the support of all the
fair minded men of the country. Let
US donate and hel lp it along: it has sent
many Il letter home to mother that
would not have been otherwise wri4taa.
I rledge my own support a. one
! Young men are approaching these
advantages. The young men have vol
unteercd their services to Fight for our
country-Who can be so ungrateful as
to refuse to help them?
a dispatch was received a few days
ago by w. B. Miller, general secretary
OF the Y. NJ. c. A, saying: Urge
every secretary to create sentiment arc
secure pledges for the army work. |.
funds are not quickly forthcoming cx'
penses must be reduced, the work sut1e

century to reach young men but par

SHAREHOLDERS LIABILITY.
important Decision by the United
States Supreme Court.

Washington, Jan. lin the United
States Supreme Court Justice Harlan
handed down the opinion of the court in
the case of a. p. s. Stewart t.. X. X.
Hayden, receiver of the Capital National
Bank, Of Lincoln City, Neb.
The case involved the question OF the
liability of n shareholder in n failed ma
tionnl bank in cases in which the share
holder hiss disposed of his holdings prior
to the failure hut with evident knowl-
edge OF the failing condition OF the con
Germ. In this instance the bank went
into the hands OF Il receiver january %,
1895. Stewart had Deen director of the
bank FOR eight years, up 30 1892, and he
was the owner 70 100 share Of ts stock.
On December l6, 1872, he entered into a
bargain for the purchase Of certain real
estate from \. Il. Gruetler and others
agreeing to transfer his bank stock In
payment for this property. The transfer
was made January 3, 1893, twenty DAYS
before the bunk failure was announced.
in making his assessments against the
shareholders, the receiver OF the bank
sought to include Stewart in the list OF
the those liable to depositors on the
ground that Stewart was cogniZant of the
condition of the bank when he disposed
OF his stock. The trial court accepted
this view of the case, as did the circuit
court of appeals, Eighth circuit and the
supreme court to-day affirmed the opin
ion of the latter court.
In rendering the courts opinion Justice
Harlan said it was evident the { Stewart
knew of the banks condition and of the
speculatons in which it's president was
engaged. and he added that it was not in.
tended that $ areholder should escape
responsibility in such a case, where his
only intention of disposing of his stock
is thai of evading liability in case OF fail
ure. Such transfer was. he said, clearly
a fraud.

KlNBERLY's APPOINTMENT.
The New Fortress Monroe Postmaster
Had Personal Influence.

Newport News, Va, Jan. 1.-THE an
nonncement came this afternoon that Mr.
John b. Kimberly had bsen appointed
postmaster at Fortress Monroe. 1t WAS
received with considerable surpris Sc there.
Although it was known that Mr.. Kim
berly WAS an aspirant for the place, and
likely TO be named, it was not thought
that the appointment would come 20
soon. Mr.. George Booker, the predeces-
SCR of Mir. Kimberly, had eleven months
of his term to serve. There WAS COM
plant made against Mr.. Booker some
time ago that he was not giving the Office
the personal attention that WAS eX-
pected OF the postmaster. He went to
Washington and seemingly explained
things satisfactorily. He said that his
sister. who was his derut was capable
of conducting the Office without any as
sistance from him. Miss Booker, VINO is
said 70 have Republican sentiments, was
an applicant for the place. u
Mr.. Kimterly's wife was Miss Oler
of Baltimore, and she has IL brother who
is connected with II bank in which Mr.
Gary has AN interest. Mr.. Gary in con-
sequence OF the personal influence
brought to bear named Mr.. Kimberly, it
is said.

Strange Effect of Clot OF Blood Pressing
on the Spine.

South Bethlehem, Pa. Jan. John
Breiner is confined to his bed with sim
gular malady with which he was cverta-
ken about two weeks ago while at work
in an iron mill, and the most peculiar
feature of his illness is the fact that,
while he has almost lost the power OF
speech, he can laugh as heartily as though
he were amused at his strange misfor-
tune. For long periods he cannot utter
a word.
Last night Breiner suddenly burst into
"a tit of laughter, and for three hours
laughed necessarily, although those
about him could detect nothing unusual
or funny to warrant such demonstIa-
ton. His physician says his alment il
due to clot of blood pressing on the
spinal cord.

had merely filed application for the prop
