THREAT TO STORM FAILED BANK.
Police Busy Keeping Order Among Farmers
Who Lost by R~Inehart's Methods.

WAYNEsBURG, Pa, Dec. 25.-Hundreds OF
farmers who live in remote parts OF Greene
county, who learn the ews only through
the weekly arrival Of the mail, came to town
to day 10 learn the exact condition OF al airs
at the failed Farmers and Drovers' National
Bank.
Crowds began to assemble on the streets
early, and 10y noon, in spite OF the cold, the
throng had increased TO thousands. As the
townspeople told the country people what
they knew of conditions, the Indignation Of
the farmers. many OF whom had every
thing, their all, in the bank, became dan
gerous.
Several times the crowd became unruly

The police had much trouble in maintaining
order.
Contrary 10 his custom, j. B. r. time
hart, former cashier of the defunct bank,
did not attend service at the Methodist
Church. Rinehart spent the greater part
Of the DAY at home. In the afternoon he
visited the Office adjoining the bank, where
he has made his headquarters since he was
depOsed as cashier. Charles Sharak, the
special examiner, is expected tomorrow.
What action he will take Is a matter OF con-
lecture.
In an interview Bank Examiner John B.
Cunningham this afternoon said:
Il cannot say h arrests will be made.
I can only say that, from the looks OF things,
there will be mar II is the most de-
plorable condition Of affairs that l ever

Friends will undoubtedly stand by the
young women.
That many failures will follow the crash
of the bank ia now generally believed. IL is
said that the failure of Reuben Goldberg a
Co, in which Rinehart was interested, is
only the first Of many. Rinehart was inter-
ested in half Of the business concerns in the
town, and there is no doubt that many Of
them will be unable TO Weather the storm.

Release From Asylum.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 25.-Theodore
Wright, once a leading financier INC rail-
road man, was released to-day from the
Burn Brae Hospital for the Insane at Cliff
ton. Wright's release followed a bitter
legal struggle, which he carried on against
his own family single handed except for
the aid Of Attorney Thomas Earle White,
to whom he had smuggled a letter from the
asylum.
His own family finally became confident
of his sanity, reversed their position and
to-day for the first time for ten years Wright
ate Christmas dinner as a free man.
Wright was a member Of the shipping
firm of Peter Wright a Sons and president
and heaviest stockholder in the Winifred
Railroad in Virginia. Wright was regarded
as one Of the biggest and keeneet business
men in Philadelphia until his quiet disap-
pearanoe ten ear z IL was a hong
time before his friends learned what had
become of him.
Gradually the story leaked out thai his
son, Minturn b. Wright, had had him placed
in an asylum. The commitment was upon
an affidavit signed by two we'll known physi-
clans. Nothing more was heard from
Wright for a few years. Then he managed
to communicate with Mr.. White. Mrs.
Frances Davis, a sister Of Wright, who lives
in Colorado. arrived in this city. and going
to Burn Brae took her brother away.
Wright is worth several millions.

NEW TROUBLE BREAKS OFT IN
kEMPER COUNTY, MISS.
Fight or the Nine Men Killed Are Negroes
Troops Withdrawn After the First
TrOuble-Gov. Vardanan sending
More TroOps-Two whites Arrested.

FNs'V hhh
MERIDIAN, Miss, Dec. 25.-Nine dead and
three wounded is the record Of the race riot
in Kemper county since the trouble started
Sunday morning. Eight of the dead are
negroes. while but one white man was
killed.
When the troops arrived at. Wahslak
last night they found the little town in IA
fever Of excitement over the clash between
the races earlier in the day.
Col. McCants, the commander Of the
Second Regiment. was informed that the
negroes had fortified themselves two miles
from Wahalak, and a party of soldiers went
out to dislodge them, but when the troops
arrived on the scene the blacks had disap-
peared. Two negroes were killed near
Wahalak by whites early last night, but no
further trouble occurred there during the
night or this morning.
All OF the negroes in that section had
either fed or secreted themselves in their
homes, and believing the trouble at an end,
Col. MoCants returned to Meridian with the
soldiers this afternoon.
Tonight rioting broke out at Scooba, a
town in the same county, five miles south
OF Wahalak, as a result of.whioh five negroes
we're killed. The Sheriff Of Kemper county
was unable to control the situation and
sent Gov. Vardaman an urgent appeal
for troops.
The Governor Immediately notified the
militia at Meridian, Macon and Columbus
to proceed to Scooba by special train. The
Meridian troops have already gone and
the Macon and Columbus soldiers are ex-
pected to reach Scooba before morning.
Reports from Kemper county by long
distance telephone state that all OF the
white people in the county are UP in arms.
and a deadly clash is likely between the
races.
The negroes are said to be heavily armed
with rifles and s~hotgnns, and IL IL believed
that much blood will be shed before the
troops arrive.
Two of the alleged slayers of the negroes
at Scooba have been placed under arrest,
apd Gov. Vardaman has ordered a company
Of State troops from this city to prevent
their escape.
The race war is an ~outgrowth of the kill
ing OF two conductors ON Mobile and Ohio
railway trains by negroes, one on Sunday
and the other to-day.
