The British steamship Acacia, Capt.
Thomas, had an accident yesterday as
the vessel was leaving her dock at the
Central Railroad for sea. The tow
boat was alongside, the pilot was on
the bridge and all lines were cast off,
when it was discovered that the ships
steering gear refused to work. At first
Il appeared that the steering rod,
which runs from the wheelhouse to
the steam steering house was probably
damned by the cotton stored in the
tween decks. The entire steering gear
had to be taken adrift before the act
nal cause of the trouble was discov-
cred. The task took Chief Engineer
oliver and assistants and Chief OFF,
Ger FARMLAND and his men several
hours to put the apparatus in order
again. BY that time the tide was
falling. and the Acacia could not go to
sea. Capt. Thomas believes that every
thing will be in perfect order so that
he will be able to proceed out on the
early tide this morning.

WILL HOLD CELEBRATION.
New Orleans to Commemorate Trans
 fer of I,oIIisiana

ACA VI 6O04S4dA4ns
 New Orleans. Nov. T.-The State of Louisiana, which has appropriated $1OO,- 900 to cover it's share in the St. Louis Purchase Exposition next year, will hold transfer commemoration exercises of its own Dec. IS to 20. next.
 The Louisiana Historical Society, the members of which have long been work ing on such a celebration to take place on the date of the actual transfer, have just announced the program of the ex- ercises. The affair promises to be one of the most elaborate ever held in the South and the officers of the society an- nounce that no pains have been spared to make 1t a At commemoration of the transfer.
 The exercises will center about the his toric cabildo, the city hall of the days of the Spanish domination, and the build ing yet stands practically as when 1t was used for the formalities of the turn ing over of Louisiana to the American commissioners. Both New Orleans and the State of Louisiana have agreed to ultimately turn this celebrated building over to the use of the society as a per- manent home of the society's magnifl- cent historical collection of books. paint ings, manuscripts and records. but as it is yet in use by the State Supreme Court the dedication of the building for this purpose must be delayed until the new court buildings are completed.
 At the time of the dedication the ca- bildo will be given over to the use of the society, and there the principal ex- ercises will be held. The French and Spanish ambassadors will be present, a man-of-war from each of those nations Is expected at New Orleans at this time and a portion of the Atlantic squadron will aid in giving formality to the | event.
 The three days program will be open ed Friday evening, Dec. 1s with a re- ception and ball in the cabildo, which | is to reproduce as far as possible the | ball given one hundred years ago in | honor of the American commissioners, Claiborne and Wilkinson.
 The celebrated beauties of New Orleans will dance the minuet in costumes dupli- eating those of colonial days, and an oldfashioned New Orleans supper will interrupt the dancing at midnight This event will be in charge of the highest historical society. its patronesses representing the best and oldest families of New Orleans. The next morning there will be commemorative exercises in the | cabildo, at which there will be addresses by Governor Heard and the representa- tives of France and Spain and the Unit ed States, followed by a military parade and naval parade before the city. The temporary museum in the cabildo will be formally opened, medals will be struck and in the evening the guests of the so- ciety will attend special gala perform ance at the French opera house. On Sunday. Dec. 20 the real centennial of the transfer. the day will begin with high mass and Te Deum in the old St. Louis Cathedral. after which the hour when the actual transfer took place there will be an oration from the balcony of the cabildo and the national colors will be raised with salutes in the Place d Armes.

Cause of the Depositors' Anxiety is
 Unknown.

Reading, Pa. Nov. 17.-For some unex- plained cause a run was started today on the Pennsylvania Trust Company, espe- cially in its savings department. A con tinuous line of depositors pressed for ward and were, rapidly paid off The drain on the banks funds began a few days ago President Brooks of Girds- boro. endeavored to restore confidence among the depositors by assuring them that the institution was in a sound finan- cial condition. In addition to the funds on hand, the companiy received $2O0 900 today from Philadelphia. The officers as- crlbe the efforts to break the credit of the institution to malicious persons.
 The withdrawal of deposits, which suh- sided toward noon. was renewed later and at l:So p. m. more persons were clamoring for their money than at any other time. One hundredd depositors crowded into the banking room with many outside. All were paid as fast as possible.

Directors of Seaboard Consider
 Blair-Ryan Loan.

b1d1r-hyan Loan.
 New York. NCV. 1.-The directors of the Seaboard Air Line met today in this city but after a short conference took a recess until later in the day, to consider the Blair-Ryan loan. It was anticipated that there may be some friction between the opposing interests in the board. The proposed loan is intended to wipe out the floating debt and to complete the finance ing of the line from Atlanta over the mountains to Birmingham. Ala. The loan is said to be conducted on the control of the Scaboard voting trust, a proposition to which the present controlling syndi- cate is understood to be opposed.
 Conferences were held last evening In the hope of bringing about an agreement but no settlement had been announced un to the time of the meeting today.
 The afternoon meeting lasted scarcely ten minutes and an adjournment was then taken until tomorrow. No statement was given out but one of those present said there were cert lin details which 1t had been found impossible to work ont this afternoon and that for that reason 1t seemed better to adjourn until tomor- row.
 The annual report of the officers of the company shows the following finan- cial condition of the road: Gross earn ings. $19,6S2, ,455; operating expenses. $11,- 910,336; net earnings, SITE ,119; other in- come, $1,152952. Total income, SS,925 071 Deductions from income, $7 7,646,1 1lS Sur plus, income for year, S1.27S953. It also shows that the company owns 3,999 miles of track and operates under least 40 miles, making a total of 4139 miles ope- rated by the company.
