CROOK NAMED
 AS RECEIVER For Old First National Bank of
 BeSsemer. THREE DAMAGE SUITS FILED Two Against the Water Works Com pany for $5,oOo Each, and One Against the Bessemer
 Land Company

Captain H. w. Crook, a member of the
 late Board of County Commissioners, was yesterday appointed receiver of the assets
 of the First National bank of Bessemer | under decree of the chancery court rem 1 dered on the petition of the Bessemer Saw
 ings bank and other creditors and stock | holders of the defunct institution, and at 1 once qualified by executing bond for
 5000 for the faithful discharge of his du- | ties as such receiver.
 Under the decree the receiver is ordered to take possession of all the assets of the First National bank of Bessemer, and at his earliest convenience to make and file with the register of the court a full and complete inventory of such assets.
 He is further ordered and is empowered
 to collect rents on all real property be- longing to said bank and from time to
 time to file a report of such collections with the register.
 The final disposition of the assets and other orders are reserved for the future decision of the court.
 The original bill on which the receiver ship was granted was filed on May 31 last. and recites the fact that the First National bank of Bessemer was organized under the national banking act in 1890, and con- tinued in business until 1894, when it mort gagged all of its assets to the complainant the Bessemer Savings bank for money to pay off its depositors and went into volun- tary liquidation.
 The complaint alleged that the bank then and there ceased to carry on the business for which it was organized and incorpor- ated and that its financial embarra ssment since that time prevented 1t from resum- ing business. It was further alleged that the officers of the bank afterwards dis posed of their stock and were without au thority to act for the corporation and that none of the stockholders would assume authority to act for the bank. which was due the complainant, the Bessemer Savings | bank, $6,OOO, secured by mortgage. In con- | ciusion the complainants prayed for the | appointment of, receiver to manage and | dispose of the remaining assets in order that the interest of all concerned might he | best subserved.
 Damages for Overflow
 In the circuit court yesterday Nathan IT Erwin filed suit against the Birmingham Water Works company for 5000 for eI eged damages to certain land by reason of the overflow of a canal operated by the defendant company. The complaint alleges hat by reason of such overflow the said and has become less productive and less valuable and was rendered greatly less. 'ealthful as place of residence.
 In the city court similar suit was hed against the same defendant by Annie Err win and others on the same alleged statA-

close-hauled. entered upon their test of speed. The Defender had the weather gauge by hundred yards and was several lengths ahead. The crews of both yachts were piled along the lee rails like sacks of oats, their feet to leeward, their heads pillowed on the rails. At first the Colum- bia seemed to outfoot her rival, and there seemed to be no perceptible difference In their ability to hug the wind. Nautical ex- perts were jubilant. Then both yachts went over on the starboard tack for a long leg. They heeled until yards of their bronze bodies were exposed.
 Columbia More Stately
 The Columbia seemed more tender than the Defender-more tender, but perhaps more stately as she lay down to her work. She heeled enough to let the seas swirl and bubble along her lee rail when she smashed big wave into tatters, she ship ped some water forward. Miniature cata- racts poured from her glistening decks where the water spurted 20 feet from her bows, but as she lifted beautifully looked like huge gull rising from the water. Then the talent began to get nervous. Gradually, but surely, the Defender was drawing ahead, and it was almost apparent that she was pointing higher than the Co., lumbia. It would not take the yachtsman iong to discover the cause. The Defenders sail fit to perfection and every high inch of canvass drew. The top club sail of the Columbia, on the other hand was loose and cracked in the wind. The forestry sail did not draw and might as well have been slowed in the locker below. By this time the breeze was blowing about ten knots an hour, and while it continued al that clip the Defender continued to gain very slowly, but also very surely. Half an hour later, the wind sank to about five knots, and immediately the sails of the Columbia began to draw and she began to gain upon her adversary. Both shippers were now straining for the mastery Both pnched until their head sails trembled as they strove for the weather gauge. The columbia continued to gain on every tack and in few minutes before the first mark was reached she crossed the Defend CTS bow on the starboar tack. Then the nautical sharps breathed easier. She rounded the stake exactly one minute ahead of the Defender. As she eased her sheets and turned the mark all the steam craft screamed their congratulations.

ON THE RACE TRACK.
At Brighton Beach

New York, July 6.-The Brighton Beach Racing association opened its gates today with several stakes on the card, of which the Brighton handicap was the feature. Imp, the fast western mare who won the Suburban, was the winner of the Brighton handicap at long price in the fast time of 2:O5 2-5, a new track record. Ethelbert the pronounced favorite and winner of the Realization, was second under the wire, with Bangle in third place. The track was in excellent condition. For the Brighton Handicap May Hampstead, the western lilly, was second choice, with little to choose between Imp, Bangle, Martimas and Maxine at long odds. The start was good on al, but Bangle, and the Suburban win ner, Imp, was the first to poke her black muzzle in front. Past the grand stand for the first time Imp was in front by half length, with Ethelbert second, a nose in front of Martimas.. At the half mile pole the watches showed 49 1-5 seconds, and Imp had length to the good, with the others close up in bunch, going well with in themselves. Before the mile was reach ed Ethelbert began slowly slipping back, and as they passed the mile post in the fast time of 1:40 2-5 Imp showed not the slight est distress, OLeary not having moved on her. Spencer was at work on Ethelbert, and Bangle had worked his way into fourth
 
 and she took another length. But here Ethelbert came with a rush and foot by foot was overhauling the flying leaders. It was not rapid enough, however, as the leaders kept their feet. The crowd yelled frantically for Imp as the grand mare passed under the tape in record-breaking time Summary: ,.,
