AT the last term of our Circui
Court, as the impression seems to be.
the receivers IN the case Of the late.
lamentea Boilding and Loan Asssoci-
ation Of this city. made their final set.
Element with the Court, and were di-
rected to disburse the balance Of the
fund in their hands. Whilst since then
MANY o. the holders Of the stock Of
the Association have anxiously waited
expecting to receive pro rata share
Of this balance for distribution. they
have waited in vain. Have they mis-
understood the direction or the Court.
and so built ND hopes with no founda-
tion on which TO rest them, or are they
in TOO great hurry 70 get the part
due them?
Has the money been mi ont? Then
who were the fortunates. Or Is il
still in the hands of the receivers?
Then when will il be distributed, aud
VINO will be the bereficiariesg The
list should be published and the a.
mounts received by each.
The whole matter Is OF such gea
erai interest, and as so many of our
citizens, as STOCKHOLDERS. nave such d
peouniarv interest In the Association,
that IL would be but fair aud just, rs
well as most satisfactory to all con-
cerned, 10 have the entire business
transactions of the receivers made nc
cessibie through printed statement
This statement should give the sour
ces and the several amounts OF re-.
CENTS. MS also the disbursements and
to whom from the time of the APP
pointment OF the receivers to the day
of their final seftlement'and discharge.
As matters now stand. the whole
proceeding is enshrouded in darkness
so far at least as the hundreds of
stockholders who have suffered loss
are concerned. Such statement would
quiet any suspicious that otherwise
are likely to arise. Certainly there
can be no good reason why such state
ment should not be made Even IL
there should result from il nothing
more than the satisfaction of seeing
the figures showing the receipts and
expenditures OF the receivers, for that
much the stockholders who so far have
received nothing, will be thankful.

for the railroad gates to rise IN order
that they might cross the tracks.
While they were waiting thu horse,
which was one of the number recent

frightened at passing train.
The horse became unmanageable
and with a plunge dashed over the
emil ankment at the edge of the street
to the bottom of the coal dumps,
about ten feet below, dragging carfI-
age and occupants with him. The
horse dashed to the embankment and
over it so suddenly that the occupants
had not time to lean to safety and
all plunged through space and land
ed in heap on the ground below.
Mr.. q. A. Miller was attracted cut
of the warehouse by the crash and
ne assisted the bewildered occupants
of the carriage in getting out o.
their perilous position. Horse carri-
age and occupants were all in heap,
but fortunately the occupants escaped
serious INJURY. Mr.. Coffman had his
head painfully cut in several places
but the others escaped with only a
few scratches and bruises. The CARR
age was almost completely demolish-
ed. The injuries to the horse are n OF

Perhaps the most SENSATIONAL cere-
mony OF marriage that has ever been
perfor pied in New York was the one
known everywhere in the United
States as the Diamond Wedding.
1t was the union OF daughter Of
Lieut.. Bartlett. OF fhe United States
NAVY. TO Cuban gentleman OF great
wealth. Don Estaba Santa Cruz dc
Oviedo. As generous as be was opu-
ulcnt, Oyledo lavished upon the bride
Nd re than one hundred thousand dol
lars worth Of pearls and diamonds.
The nuptial rites were soIemnized by
Archbishop Huges; Stedman COM
memorated the event in poem, and
moralists pointed to it as an extra0r-
dinary instance OF the evils OF splen-
dor and luxury tnat were corrupting
American societv. So great was the
clsiosiiv TO witness the wedding that
probably for the fjrst time on su h An
occasion cards of admission were isau-
ed 10 the church. A squad OF police
men was required simply to protect
the bride and groom from strangers
who rushed after them. The mag
piicent nuptlals, it NAV be remark
ed. had melancholy sequel: tho
bridegroom soon died: his, widow.
und' r the Spanish laws. was entitled
only TO the right OF dover and all
the gifts which he had showered upon
her were taken away from her on
the ground that legally they were
heir looms. = March Ladies Home

1t was most disaraceful scene.
Such an action il calculated to dis
credit the Senate all over the woils,
and The Senate ought to consider the
subject seriously before arriving at a
final conclusion.
Senator Burrows said:
THE matter mas not vet been for
mally presented to me as chairman of
the committee which is to investigate
the case. regard this affair as one
of great import, and he committee
VIII give it consideration commensa-
rate with It's gravity.
Mr.. Burrows, in conversation, IL
keued the case to the Foote- Benton
incident. which happened in the Sem
ate prior to the Civil War. Foote,
who was a Senator from Mississippi.
during heated debate, drew revolt
yer upon Mr.. Benton, of Missouri.
Mr.. Burrows stated that there was
some similarity between the two
cases, although the Tillman- McLaurin
incident presented some features I'M
like anything which ever had occur
ed. Mr.. Burrows indicated bv his
talk that he would favor drastic
action in dealing with the case, as he
said the Importance of the affair could
hardly be too strongly emphasized.
Mr.. Tillman's name has been erased
from the list of guests invited by
President Roosevelt to meet Prince
Henry at dinner at the White House
