Dover N. H., Dec. 21.--The deposit
ors in the defunct Cocheco National
Bank are to be paid in full without the
necessity of the receiver having 10 as
sess the stockholders. An order from
Washington directs Receiver E.H.Car-
roll TO pay a dividend of 25 per cent. as
soon as possible. The payment or TINS
dividend will bring the total dlsourseu
by the receiver since the banks failure
last summer TO 100 per cent. The settle
ment Is one of the most rapid known IN
the history of embarrassed banks IN
this state, as II generally takes from
three 10 six years TO bring about the
liquidation OF a crippled institution.Ihe
settlement Of the banks affairs took
about six months.
The affairs of the Cocheco Savings
bank which was closed at the time OF
the failure of the National Bank are
still in an unsettled condition. but the

Two of the cleverest crooks In the

ANYTHING real dirty and SAYS that the

kind OF work, but, as he remarked the

Lack of News From South

Patriotism Displayed by the Volunteers
is Appr0Ciated--The Duke Of MARI
borough is Going to Front.

London. Dec. 2i.--There was no news
from South Africa UP TO p. m. today,
other than fragments OF disconnected
stories Of past events. This silence is
having the natural effect OF creating
forebodings. The splendid patriotism OF
the volunteers continues to be evil
denced on all sides. The newspapers
note with satisfaction the effect that
this display OF British spirit and evil
dence of resources the empire is able
to command is having on continental
critics. The Westminster Gazette,
however. sounds a note of alarm. 1t
thinks the moment is peculiarly unpro-
pitious TO send abroad the home de-
tenders, since no one is quite easy as TO
the effect the British proceedings in
South Africa will have upon Great
Britain's European neighbors.
