A young man, who was under the
influence of liquor, had a narrow es-
CAGE of from being killed on Regal
street, between King and Prince, about
ten O'Clock this morning. The young
man staggered from the northeast
corner of Prince streets to the opposite
corner and started north, Keeling as
though walking in his sleep. He had
reached the centre OF the square when an
electric train started for Washington.
His attention was attracted by the train
and he proceeded in his dazed condition
toward it and attempted to board one OF
the cars. In doing so he was struck by
the car, but fortunately knocked away
from the wheels. In falling, however, one
of his arms was brought dangerously near
the rails. People who witnessed the
incident called to the motorman and he

Another Injunction.

Another sensation in the Gould-F Fisher
fight involving the properties Of the Vii.
ginia Passenger and Power CompaI y
was sprung in Richmond yesterday when
Judge r. H. Cardwell, of the State
Court of Appeals, granted an appeal
sought by the Goulds from the decision
of the Corporation Court of Petersburg
appointing a receiver in the interest OF
Fisher.
1t was a great work that went on at
Petersburg Sunday over the copying of
the record, and finally Frank w. Chris
tian proceeded to Hanover county, where
be spent the night, and presented the
papers to Judge Cardwell at his home
yesterday morning, where the Judge
signed them at 1880 o'clock.
10 the present status Of the case there
will be no question OF jurisdiction be-
tween the State aud federal courts until
the appeal matter is determined, and
that will not be until the March term oil
the State Supreme Court. 1t is under
stood that the lawyers for Fisher, who
are again whipped out, were preparing
to appeal from the decision Of Judge
Waddill to a higher court in order Il
have the appointment of Goulds re-
ceivers, Messrs. Wickham and Northrop,
set aside.
This, presumably, stops George Cam
eron, it,, the Fisher receiver, from act.
ing, ard leaves the affairs of the concern
in the hands of Messrs. Wickham and
NorthrOp.

Hazv Condition of Atmosphere.

The hazy condition of the atmosphere
which has existed for the past four days
recalls the dense haze which hung over
this part of the country for half a dozen
days last August as the result of forest
fires in the north and east. Weather
Bureau officials, also, when they report
this haze, refer to. the years 1884 and
1885, when violent volcanic eruptions in
Sumatra threw of so much smoke that a
pronounced haze Was thrown over the
whole earth for Along time. Throughout
the month of Septt mber, 1881, haze
hung over large portion Of the country.
In the present instance the cause is at
tributed to stagnsnt atmosphere. This
explanation was fully borne out by the
Weather Bureau observations, for the
velocity of the wind on Sunday sank to
the low maximum ofonly lOmiles an hour,
and the minimum was as low as three
miles an hour, and the setting sun show.
ed golden red as lite rays were diffracted
by the sluggish atmosphere.

EUROPEAN BANKS JOIN
To Establish a House in New York
With 100000 Capital.

New York. Sept. 14.-It is reported
in financial circles that two large con-
tinental banks are making prepara-
lions to esta blish in this city bank
to handle their business in this coun-
try. The names of the banks which
are to take this novel step have not
yet been disclosed. but preliminary
steps have been taken, it is stated, such
as the selection of quarters for the
new institution.
The establishment will constitute a
departure from the custom of foreign
banks, which up to this time have
been content to maintain branch offices
here in charge of agents sent from
Europe. In the present case the plan
provides for a bank with a capital of
$4,000 which will receive deposits
and transact a regular banking bust
ness.
Representatives of the two banks
interested are expected to arrive next
month to complete the details of the
transaction.
The growth of foreign interests, par
ticularly among investors in American
enterprises and securities in France,
Gerany and Austria, is believed to
have led to the movement.
