RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Old Town Bank of Baltimore Has Suf-
 fered Reverses.


 Baltimore, Md, Dec. 26.-Roger T. Gill was late today appointed receiver for the Old Town Bank by Judge Stockbridge. The appointment was made with the consent of the president and officers of the bank MT. Gill is bonded in the sum of 8, ,500,0 the assets of the institution being valued at half that amount.
 George Schilling, a stockholder, and a de- positor were the compliments. In their statement to the court they say
 While the bank, until recent period, has done a successful and profitable busi- ness, it has recently incurred heavy losses by the bad faith of it's cashier, Theodore F. Wilcox, in that, without authority, he wrongfully, without the knowledge of it's president or board of directors, permitted Isaac Robinson and others to draw from the bank large sums of money and incurred losses thereby which the bank Is unable to bear.
 "Rumors have been circulated affecting the financial condition of the bank, in con sequence of which large sums of money have been withdrawn by depositors, and 1t is the question of but short time when the
 President E. G. Shipley, in his answer, admits that the bank, by reason of facts stated in the bill of complaint, is no longer able to meet it's obligations and consents to the appointment of a receiver.
 Both the firms mentioned in the bill of complaint are in receivers hands.

HOLIDAY RUSH
 IS ABOUT OVER News of the RaiIroads-ChangeS on the Southern-MCKit-
 teriCk Arrives

Travel over the railroads entering Birm- ingham continues heavy, but it is nothing to compare with the conditions from last Friday to Monday night. Then not only did all of the regular passenger trains carry extra coaches, but the trains were run in double sections to accommodate the thousands who wanted to travel It is es- tmated that from twenty-five to thirty thousand persons came into the city from Friday morning to Monday night. All of these did not come in on passenger Nains, but the electric car lines and the Bessemer dummy line carried large numbers. Extra coaches had to be attached to the regular trains yesterday, but no extra trains were necessary The return travel will begin in a few days and then the same old rush of the four or five days receding the holidays will again tax the roads.
 L. S. McKitterick the newly appointed travelling passenger agent of the Louis- vile and Nashville road, has arrived in the city and is familiarizing himself with the local office. He and District Passenger Agent P Sid Jones were busy yesterday sending out calendars for 1901. Nearly ev- cry business house in the city and many houses Tn other CltleS ana lOWHS are sup piled with calendars from the office of the district agent in this city.
 Superintendent Hayden, of the Birming- ham division of the Southern Railway, has issued circular announcing a number of changes to take effect on his division on January l. The following changes are noted:
 H. G. Farrar, trainmaster in Birming- ham on the east end on the division, to be trainmaster on the west end, with headquarters in Columbus, Miss, vice w. J. Francis, resigned.
 R. L. Barrett, general yardmaster at Birmingham to be trainmaster on the east end of the division, with headquarters in Birmingham.
 J. F. Carney to be chief train dispatcher, vice A. J. Moody.
 Martin J Connolly, assistant general yardmaster at Birmingham, to be general yardmaster.
 Chief Clerk Horace Johnson, of Agent DeFuniaks office, has returned from Ken lucky, where he spent a portion of the holidays.
 Soliciting Freight Agent Robert L. Simp- son. of the Southern Railway at Columbus, Miss, is in the city
 President Jones G. Moore of the Bir- mngham Southern Road, returned to the city from Blocton yesterday. MT. Moore will bring his family to Birmingham to re- side in A short time

D. H. BACON WITH
 T. C. I. COMPANY
Selected as Chairman of Board
 of Directors
HE WILL HANDLE THE SALES
Mir. Bacon is an Experienced Iron Mas ter, and Has Made an Excellent Record While With the Min
 nesota Iron Company.

New York, December 2e.-(special.)-D H. Bacon, who has been president of the Minnesota Iron Company since it became a constituent property of the Federal Steel Company, has been selected as chairman of the Tennessee Board of Directors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany, taking effect from January 1. Presi- dent Baxter as practical ironmaster, will continue in charge of the operation of the company's plants, which have considerably enlarged and new works started, while MT. Bacon, under the new organizat.El, will have direct charge of the executive department including the sales of the company's product.
 It is felt that heretofore this Ehas been a weak spot in the management. While the cost of the company's output has been low, in part due to the natural advantages un- der which the property was worked and in part to administrative direction, it Is con- sidered that the company has failed to earn as large profits as were expected be- cause of so much of the capacity of the plants being devoted to the less profitable forms of iron-making, and luther to the making of long time contracts at low rates It is believed that MT Bacon's record in managing the Minnesota Iron Company will stand him in good stead in his new duties with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company.
 The company's statement of earnings for November issued today shows like those for the immediately preceding months, heavy losses in income. On net operating receipts of $130,7SS there is a decrease of $154,172 and with a slight increase in fixed charges. The surplus earnings are $163,0 below the total in 1899, when an increase of 7,165 was reported.

The Republican party has
always been the party Of liberty
Emancipation was it's first great
work, the preservation of the
Union, that the whole nation
might be free, was it's next task.
The emancipation of American la
Dor from tramp lodging houses,
soup kitchens and idleness was
the b%enefcent task of the same
party under the matchless. leader
ship of William Mckinley. The
freedom of Cuba and Porto Rico
from the most accursed govern.
ment that ever blasted a fair land
was its next great task, and the
moulding of the civil life Of these
long-oppressed people to harmon.
ize with the best traditions oil
Anglo Saxon liberty is the great
party's next task, which it assumes
as a solemn duty hat can not with
honor be evaded, neglected OF
shifted.

The woolgrower, if he can spare
time from his profitable work Just
now, ought to scan the following
comparative summary of the
prices of sheep for years past.
The Morrill, tariff for many years
held the average price of sheep
between 500 and 1856, these
figures representing the highest
and lowest figures for which they
sold. The Morrill, tariff was a Re
publican protective measure. The
tariff-reform tariff of 1883 to 1890
sunk prices to a minimum of $1.91
and a maximum Of 1927. The
Mckinley protective tariff of 1890
to 1898 brought prices back to
$2.49 and 1896. Then the free
trade era of Clevelandism brought
sheep prices down to $l.58 and
$l.92. Now the Dingley law is in
operation and has brought the
average up to the highest ever
known in this country, namely
1915.
