eight weeks Both show a considerable
increase over the year before. These fig

Inside the city last year the white
schools averaged thirty y-eight weeks and
the colored thirty-one. The colored
school had to close seven months on
account Of the smallpox scare.
The move for libraries also gained con-
siderable headway here during the year.
It was not started until the spring term

applicant and their postoffice accompany
the approved application when sent to this
office, in order that no mistake may occur
here in making out and forwarding the

1t was expected that the new pension
act would cause some considerable in
crease in the number of pensions, and to
this end an additional appropriation OF
nearly 100000 was made to the pension
fund by the last Legislature. but the in
crease in the number of pensions applied
for is SO much greater than was ex-
pected that Auditor Dixon has deemed
it well to call attention to the necessity
for earefulness and investigation in pass
ing on the applications.
Last year about 5000 pensions were
paid; the amount thus expended was
about $l13, 900. This year the appro-
priation is 100000.

FOREST RAYNoR RECEIVER.
The Statement of the Comptroller CT the Cur
rency.

Washington, June 27 7--ComptrolIer
Dawes today ordered the closing of the
Seventh National Bank of New York,
and appointed Forrest Raynor. National
Bank Examiner temporary receiver. Later
the Comptroller made the following state
ment:
Comptroller Dawes stated that on
Tuesday he received word from the Ma
tional Bank Examiner that Henry Mar
quand & Company had recently become
indebted in a sum approxlmating $1,600,
900 to the Seventh National Bank of New
York which was secured by collaterals
of a doubtful nature. Upon receipt on
Wednesday of further information regard
ing the nature of the collaterals securing
this loan he sent a telegram to e. r.
Thomas. President of the Seventh Ma
tional Bank as follows:
:" I have just received information from
the National Bank Examiner that Henry
Marquand and Company have loans of
large amounts in your bank, approximat-
ing 81 100000. Unless promptly and sat
isfactorily assured that this loan will be
taken up and cash therefor put in the
bank by Saturday night, June 29th, will
appoint a receiver for the bank. Please
convene your BOARD OF directors, ana an
nounce this to them
"In explanation of the conditions inn
posed, the Comptroller states that while
advances. had been made by the directors
to the bank, they had been made upon the
credit of good securities owned by the
bank, but that no such advances affected
the banks solvency while the Henry
Marquand paper remained. 1t was nee
essary therefore, for him in the per-
formance of his duty to promptly impose
these conditions, before further withdraw
ais of deposits were made. The Comp
troller stated that the Marquand loan is
partially secured and it is hoped that
the loss to depositors will not be large"
Comptroller of the Currency Dawes
says there is no possibility of the Gov
ernment losing anything by the closing
of the Seventh National Bank. In the
first place the bonds which the bank has
on deposit at the Treasury Department
more than cover the Government depos
it's in the bank, and in addition the courts
have held that the Government always
is a preferred creditor in the sense that
it has an equal chance Of the assets
which remain, irrespective Of the fact
that it has the collateral.

Albert G. Wall of counsel for Barker,

that his life before this act of violence
had been excellent. His act was one of
passion, instigated by love of home and
that if his crime had not been against
a clergyman it might have been viewed
differently although legally 1t would have
been the same. Barker, he said, told
the truth and was convicted by it.
Cannot Jersey justice" asked Mr..
Wall in conclusion, take cognizance of
these things and cannot your honor miti-
gate his sentence because of them?"
Judge Blair. in passing sentence, said
to the prisoner:
your conviction will teach lesson. 1t

you are guilty, it also feels that there
is something in your case which may be
overlooked and therefore the court will
not impose the full term of seven years,
but will sentence you to five years at hard

to build the link between Apex and Dur
ham, and thus extend its line (Lynchburg
and Durham) from Durham to Harnett
and Cumberland counties, and possibly
on to Wilmington and the sea.
OF course all this is, so far, only a
rumor, and it may or may not be true.
If it is true, it will certainly be most
welcome news to the people along the
new line, as it will bring in a new and
powerful railway system to develop the
resources of the country and compete for

extended it will open up to the people

route to the sea.
