 An carthuuake could hardly have produced a deeper consternation in the city than did this curt announcement. The standing of the firm was the very highest and the confidence reposed In it by the public was almost reveren- tial in its character. Only year previously it had been transformed into a limited joint stock company. and the profits at that time had been set down at 250,o00,000 pounds year. The capital of the concern, was five million sterling, of which million and a half was paid up. and its engagement were stated to amount to the gigantc figure of rineteen million. Application for assistance was made to the Bank of England, which showed every disposi- tion to afford it to a rapid survey of the books had shown that nothing could be done to avert disaster.
 "The hour was too advanced that afternoon for the full effect of the shock to be felt by the business world, Black Friday was the morrow. That day the city went mad with terror Before opening hours, immense crowds had assembled outside the chief busi- ness houses. A surging mob fl l Lom- bard street, and fell upon the banks like an army pill ging captured clty. Snates or every uescFipIioh WSft sold at any price they would bring. and speculative engagements were closed by the brokers with the greatest possible haste, without reference to their cliants, and in many cases. con trary to their instructions. Failure followed failure, and the government was obliged in order to prevent "a general crash to authorize the issue of notes beyond thel legal limit.
 "The disastrous consequence of Black Friday were felt long after wards. Thousands of prosperous fam llies were ruined,i and universal dts trust ha1nperea the natural progress of industry Even the national credit was graveiy shaken abroad, and the Foreign Office found 1t advisable to issue q circular with the object of explaining to other countries the exact nature of what had happened"

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN.

What if a Man Gain the Whole world, and Lose His AppetIteF
 The man with a well-behaved stom- ach never thinks about it. He eats what he likes and likes what he eats. He knows he'll enjoy 1t. because he nas a stomach that will easily digest 1t, All things look good to him; he will sit close to the table. and with merry twinkle in his eye and world-peace expression he will start" on the deli- cious meal before him.
 But the man with the bad, brashy. gurgly stomach is the man who is all ways thinking about 1t. He can sell dom eat what he most likes, and seldom likes what he eats. His stomach wor- ries him before meals. after meals and between meals. It Is on his brain. It robs him of his cheer and interferes with his daily work Around him is a dark spirit which presses itself for ward In his thoughts. crying: T am agony, I am disgust. l am nausea. I am sickness. languor, worry. l am conceived in quick lunches and pappy food and nourished byxgulpy meals. l rob brains of their force and bodies Of their life l steal away nerve and vim. I bring heart disease and apoplexy. l make the world a pit of weariness and darkness. I am woe. am death. am dyspepsia. But yet, l bring also hope, light and future health, because by my gloomy presence I give you warming and a chance to escape me-"
 This is a bad dream. but 1t is the daily dream of the dyspeptic. If 1t were not for the white we couldn't tell the black. If it were not for dyspep- sia, we couldn't know the joy. the hap piness of a well-ordered digestion. All the world looks bright to a man of good health. and good health is impos- sible without a good, hardy stomach. And any sick or weak stomach can be made a good, strong one by just talk ing something which will digest your food for you, instead of letting your tir d stomach do it. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the most effective little tablets In the world for this very thing. If you feel bloated after eat ing. or you have nausea, aversion to food, brash. irritation, sour stomach, heartburn or dyspepsia. Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets will stop 1t because one grain of an ingredient of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of food.
 Your stomach is overworked. Let it take a rest You're not yourself when you have a bad stomach. Those tab- iers will do the work that the stomach has to do and make you feel bright. think clearly and give you ambition and power to concentrate your atten- tion on your work. YouI feel good. You should always have a box of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets on your dining table. They will make you get all the good possible out of everything you eat, and you'll enjoy if

SMALLPOX PATIENTS ESCAPE.
William Ray Left the Hospital Buu
 Wam CnnSnred

Was Captured
 William Ray. negro smallpox patient, escaped from the emergency hospital shortly after midnight yester- day morning and remained at large until he was captured by sanitary in- spectors at e:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
 Ray is a county patient. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital from a place in the country near Mount Meigs on January 3i. After the patients and employees of the hospital were asleep Monday night, Ray made preparations to get away and 1t is after t2 o'clock. The hospital is located three miles from the city on the upper Wetumpka road and Ray walked to the city.
 Early yesterday morning, it was discovered at the hospital that Kay had escaped and Chief Clerk John J. Farley of the sanitary department was informed as soon as he reached his office. At once there was stir. for it is no trivial matter to have an infected smallpox patient at large and in condition to transmit the disease to other persons.
 Sanitary Inspector Jake Hinderer and Jake Braun were at once ordered to search the city and use every ef- fort to locate the negro. They worked diligently for several hours and finally found Ray in a little house in north Montgomery.
 The inspectors walked the negro to town and then made him walk back to the hosptal where they locked him in cell especially provided for unruly patients.
 While Ray was convalesing from the disease, his recovery had not sufficient ly advanced to allay danger of spread ing the disease and 1t regarded as fortunate that he was caught so soon.

 A few weeks ago. there died in Lon don. at the age of eighty-four. the surviving partner in the great English banking house whose failure thirty nine years ago, on the crest of an snor" nous speculative "boom, shook the financial world to its foundations, MT. Henry Edmund Gurney was partner in the famouse London house of Overend, Gurney 6 Co. Birchiu Lane. London a banking housa which, on the eve of 1886, stood on the very pinnacle Of pup lie confidence. The famous chapter Of it's history in 1866 is thus related in the London Telegraphs obituary sketch or this forgotten notahifity.
 During the previous year one Of these speculative manias which occa- sionally seize commercial communities had ragged throughout the country and hardly any project was too fantastfc to obtain pecupiary support from the public Prominent among the worth less undertakings thus brought into existence were several railways. a type of enterprise which at that time seemed to promise untold wealth to those who could c3ntrive to invest their savings in ts exploitation. Though the things was enormously overdone,Sthe rash contributories were deaf to the warnings of impending collapse that were soon forthcoming.
 Early in 1886, a e. uple of provincial banks failed, but their insolvency was attributed to local causes. Then an enormous parcel of shares of one of the hollow railway companies was adver- tised for sale at an apparently ruin ous discount, and & little later, it was whispered about that certain contrac- tors were unable to obtain continu- ance of the loars on which they de- pended for carrying on their opera tions on some of the lines under con- struction. When May arrived vague feeling of distrust and uneasiness was in the air, and that 1t was not without all too substantial foundation was shown on the 10th of the month when Messrs. Overend. Gurney & Co.,. declar- ed their failure. At half-past three o'clock that afternoon, the secretary issued a notice in the following form: We regret to announce that a severe run on our deposits and resources has compelled us to suspend payment This course being considered, under advice,
