Confederate Reunion.

As We went to press last Wednes-
day the Old Veterans had marched
from the Confederate monument on
court house square to Root Hall,
under command Of Captain A. P.
West, Marshal. of the Day. They
were headed by the Pinckney Brass
Band of Columbia. The old Vets
presented q creditable appearance
If their were empty sleeves, and
there among the manned, the
ha's and she blind, all of which but
lsdded glory unto glory and were
badges of honor respect and reyered
by those who wore the blue as well
rs the boys in grey.
Exercises were opened with music
BY local talent and was followed by
prayer from Rev. w. d. Quick.
The address by General j. j. Nc.

and ringing address that enraptur-
ed his hearers and won for him
place in the hearts of our people, the
same as he won in The hearts of the
old l0sh regiment, for his gallantry,
his chivalry and his bravery. The
Southern girl, BY some Of Lexing-
toms prettiest daughters was charm
ing scene of what the Southern girl
reaily wss while her boy lover was
where the shot and shell were
screaming. Rev. Mir. Strickland then
offered up . fervent prayer. After
labor came refreshments and not,
withstsnding the down pour OF rain
the Old Vets attacked the tempting
display Of good:things thoughtfully
prepared fox the inner man with
the same enthusiasm that they faced
the bullets Of foreign hirelings that
fought under the Stars and Stripes.
In the afternoon there were i'm
promtu addresses and . prayer BY

RUN ON THE GERNIANIA.
Result of Il Story OF Losses. Bank One
of the Staunchest in New
Orleans.
(By the. Associated Press.) }.

b
New Orleans Oct. 13.--Owing PROB
ably to the publication of a story in
a newspaper here. a run began this
afternoon on the Germania Savings
bank, and many small depositors gath
cred at the institution and withdrew
their deposits. A force of policemen
kept the crowd i'm order and each de-
positor was promptly paid as he pre-
sented his book, the officers of the
bank having made provision against
the run. Few of the depOsitors knew
the reason for the run. The officers
of the bank said the bank was in an
impregnable condition and that all
who desired would be promptly paid,
business men generally having shown
their confidence by offering large sums
The run on the bank was caused by
story printed to the effect that
the bank held 10000 of the mort
gage bonds of the Rushmere Planting
Company in which Vice-President
Blaffer. of the bank, is interested, and
that the company had defaulted. Mr..
Blaffer said that he and his associates
had taken the bonds off the hands
of the bank and shouldered the loss
themselves.
While the run was on, Germania
Bank stock was quoted on the Stock
Exchange at $1,5O0 a share, rise of
ten points during the day. The bank
is regarded as one OF the staunchest
in this city.
