renewed confidence in the situation
The meeting had no definite purpose
in view. There was feeling that In
asmuch as the appraisement commit
tee had said the stock was worth sc
cents, then Sc cents it should be wheth-
er the bank resumed business or its
affairs wound up by receiver. AT
least so a majority seemed to feel, and
when this majority voted to decline the
that it was doing exactly the right
thing. The business men in the mi
nority, however, at that moment felt
that the value Of their stock had sud-
denly deprecated to uncertain figures,
and some made bona fide offers to sell
at so cents. The non-stockholding de-
positors were thoroughly discouraged.
After Friday it looked as If the re-
ceivership was now certainty, and SO
1t would have been had not certain out
siders taken hand. Messrs. w. w.
Lewis, G. H. O'Leary and S. M. NC
Neel began to work together, and they
arranged plan whereby they
would put in new capital. re-organize
under the old charter and reopen the
bank. None Of the gentlemen had pre-
viously been. connected with the Loan
and Savings bank except as depositors.
They made proposals to the stockhold-
nrs whereby they agreed to consider
the stock of the bank as worth the ap-
praised value, and providing that
stockholders could either subscribe the
difference between that and par or sell
and step out This proposition was,
after all, the most favorable that had
been suggested, and it was accepted.
At a meeting Of stockholders last
Monday night, the new arrangement
was formally agreed to, and directors
were elected as follows: .. M. McNeel,
G.. H. O'Leary, w. w. Lewis, w. B.
Wylie, c. E. Spencer. Immediately af-
ter the adjournment Of the meeting OF
the stockholders, the directors held q
meeting and elected Mr.. McNeel pres
ident, Mr.. O'Leary vice president, and
Mr.. w. P. Harrison cashier.
It was resolved that the bank be re-
opened at the earliest possible moment,
and Mr.. McNeel left yesterday morn
ing for the purpose of getting the mon
ey with which to pay all depositors in
full as rapidly as they can draw their
checks. 1t is the outside impression
that there will be but little disposition
on the part of depositors to withdraw
their deposits except where they stand
Immediately in need Of the money; but
the directorate will not presume on
anything Of the kind. The money
will be at hand and depositors may
take it or leave it alone as they like.

deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh.

YESTERDAY PRIMARY.

The battle of the ballots throughout
York county yesterday made up one
of the hardest fought contests that
has taken place in this county for
many years. There were some strong
men in the race, there was some hard
work done, there was much independ-
ent voting, and the closeness of the re-
suit In some instances is almost like the
splitting Of hairs.
Although THE ENQUIRER made the
usual elaborate arrangements to
which it has been accustomed for years
to get quick and accurate returns, the
machinery did not work quite so
smoothly as usual and it was not until
about o'clock, this, Wednesday morn
ing, that the last figures were received.
The reports commenced coming in yes
terday afternoon within an hour after
the closing Of the polls. The result at
Tirzah came in first Then followed
Newport shortly afterward, and next
Sharon, Bullock's Creek, Clark's Fork,
Smyrna, Ebenezer, Blairsville and
Coates Tavern, all by telephone.
Shortly before Bethany was re-
ceived by special messenger and later
Forest Hill, Bethel, Antioch and Nc
Connellsville by the same means. The
The other boxes followed in success
sion as rapidly as the count was COM
pleted, until by 12 o'clock all the re-
turns of the county, except the state
vote at Bullocks Creek, and the two
big boxes at Yorkville and Rock Hill,
had been tabulated.
Then came a long wait, The count
at Yorkville was not completed until 2
o'clock. Within Is minutes afterward
the figures were in the tabulated state
ment. All the columns had been added
up and there remained only the vote
of Rock Hill to make the work COM
plete. Word came that Rock Hill
would be through by o'clock, then by
3, and then by T. Mr.. H. H. Beard had
kindly kept the telegraph office open all
night until advised that his services
would no longer be required; but with
in a short time after he left something
got wrong with the telephone wires.
They were grounded, crossed or some
thing. Anyhow the obliging operators
here, Messrs. Wallace and Williams,
wrestled for an hour or more in vain
effort to re-establish connection, and
finally there was nothing for it except
to suspend further effort with the re-
suit of several of the contests still
hanging in doubt on account of the
uncertain effect of the big box at Rock
Hill.
At last at about o'clock this morn
ing, connection was re-established and
Mr.. w. J. Caveny succeeded in getting
through to us the vote at Rock Hill
I'D to that time in several instances 1t
was anybody's race; but quickly made
additions now tell the story as it will
stand.

las gifts and Christmas boxes.

| oiaS SlftS and Christmas boxes. | The Reformation put an end to St. | Nicholas in England, and Santa Claus
 was cnly introduced there within the
 present century from America, whither Dutch emigrants had carried it. Like most Christmas customs. the myster- ious gifts of Santa Claus have no con | nection with the festival of Cihrist's birth.
 The appearance of Santa Claus, With his stout figure warmly clad in furS and woolens, his cheery old face with white beard and hair, his large bag of presents slung over his back, is famil- jar to everyone. In America he is de picted as itraveling in a sledge drawn by reindeer from his home in the snowy north. In England children hang their stockings at the foot of their beds In America the whole family suspend their stockings from the manltelpiece of the sitting room, to save Santa Claus the trouble of ascending the stairs anI entering each room to distribute his gifts.
 In Holland on Christmas eve the chi.- dren, while indulging in various games. keep casting anxious glances at the door. as if expecting a visitor. At length their play is hushed by a loud knock at the door, and St. Nicholas, clad in his episcopal r0bes, enters. He evinces a. wonderful knowledge Of the failfngs and virtues of each child, scolding and praising each according to the merits of the family behavior. Finally, however he Lestows his bless ings on them all, and promising to give each present on the next morning, he disappears. Before retiring to rest that night, each member of the family places one of his or her shoes on the table in the parior. The door is then locked, but the next morning proves the truth of Santa Claus's promise. for in each shoe is found a present for it's owner.-Mail and Express.
