Former Treasurer OF N1ccklen-

With State.

Much Interest Is being manifested
throughout the clty. and especially
tround the capitol. concerning the out
enc OF the first meeting OF the State
Board OF Charities In the Office of
Colonel John w. Richardson, at $3.50
o'clock tomorrow night. The board
viii organize. and will elect secre-
thry and assistant secretary. There
ire many applicants for the two places
mentioned, the one carrying salary
of $4,000 and the other paying Si,2OO
per year.
The friends OF Mayor Mccarthy have
been pressing his name for the secre-
taryship within the past few days. but
II may be stated that he liz in no sense
candidate Whether he would ac-
cept IL elected Is a matter about which
no ono appears authorized to speak
positively, but the retiring executive
is going ahead with his daily official
duties and taking no part in the boom
that has been started In his favor.
Two OF the active candidates are DR..
/. g. Foster. OF Norfolk former guper.
intendent of the Eastern state Hospi-
tai. and former Sheriff Simon Solo
mon. OF Henrico. The board will In
all probability elect DR.. Paulus A.
irvine, OF this city chairman. The 9TH

Cabell, OF this city; Or. George H.
Denny. OF Washington and Lee Uni.
versity; Hon. l.. p. stearnes, OF New
port News. and Rev Samuel c. Hath
er, OF Farmville.
Much criticism.
The administration is being critl-
cized In some quarters for the exact
form OF the new organization. II being
contended that there should have been
chief officer, known as State Com
missioner OF Charities. instead of a
board. as is provided by the new law.
me friends Of the Governor are
pointing TO the, record to show tina,
In his message he recommended a de.
partment organized. as suggested in
the former instance, and that any critI.
cism OH this score should fall upon
the Legislature. and not upon the
shoulders Of the state Executive. As
ana put IN working order offices Will
have to be provided by Colonel Rich
ardson for the secretary and his as
sistant, but he Will hardly find any
spare room in the Capitol building. as
practically all the space there is al.
ready taken up.
The members OF the board receiye
no compensation for their services un.
less when ordered by the Governor to
make an investigation OF a State In
stitution. and then they are paid out
OF the funds appropriated by the Leg
islature Tor that particular Institution
The general work of visitation among

Is to be done by the secretary of the

Own CarelesSnesS

SAN BERNARDINO, July H.
Charles W. Johnson. aged %. and ]. e.
Carston, aged AZ. were instantly killed
at an early hour this morning at the
Victor gold mine company's plant 21
miles northeast OF Needles, in this
county. The investigation disclosed
the fact that the miners met horrible
death through their own carelessness.
They were members of the night shift
and were detailed to work in a shaft
500 feet underground. The two men
had evidently put in a blast and had
not figured accurately on the time the
fuse would burn. for they tarried in
the immediate vicinity of the blast
until few seconds before the explo-
sfon Then they had travelled but a
few yards toward safety when the
fragments of rocks hurled with ter
rife violence swept down upon them.
The bodies wereufrightfully mangled.

SCHEME TO REOPEN
BANK IS REJECTED
Court Has No Power to Accept
the Plan Proposed by
Stock Holder Allen

The scheme of l. B. Allen for the
rehabilitation of the insolvent Market
street bank, of which he is the prin-
cipal stock holder, was summarily
turned down by Judge Sturteyant yes
terday. Aliens proposal was to take
over a large proportion of the assets
of the bank, to sell unissued stock on a
Is per cent commission and to reopen
the institution and run it under super
vision of the court and bank commits
sioners.
Judge Sturtevant pointed out that
there was no provision of the law un-
der which he could authorize such
procedure. His power was limited to
adjudging the bank solvent or in
solvent and having already adjudged
it insolvent and named a receiver, he
could not now permit a stock holder
to reopen it. To sanction such a
scheme as that submitted by Allen,
the judge added, would simply result
in tying up the affairs of the bank in
still further litigation and thus keep
the depositors from sharing in the as
sets.
The stay granted the bank pending
the perfection OF an appeal against the
judgment declaring the institution in
solvent expired yesterday and, unless
the appeal is perfected before 10 a. m.
today, Louis H Mooser, the receiver,
will take charge at that hour. In
order to put the appeal in shape, it is
necessary for the bank to deposit an
appeal bond. Attorney P. L. Shuman,
who has replaced Oliver Ellsworth as
counsel for the bank, yesterday asked
Judge Sturtevant to fix the amount of
the bond. The judge delayed doing so
until this morning, intimating, however,
that he would probably name a sum in
the neighborhOod of S200, 900.
w. w. Kaufman, attorney for the re-
ceiver, will ask that the bond be fixed
at four or FIVE times that sum. This
Is an absolutely frivolous appeal" said
Kaufman last night. 1T can only op-
crate to keep the depositors out of
their money for a long period. If the
appeal be forced it keeps Mr.. Mooser
from taking possession of the bank,
but if he is permitted TO go in he will
be able TO pay the depositors a % per
cent dividend in two weeks. An appeal
will tie up the assets for at least
year"
