BANK DEFOSIEARIES.

A proposition to solve the much
yexed problem Of designated stste de-
positarIes was presented yesterday BY
Sspator Lsssiter to the House commit
tee on 6napce. The committee thought
so we'll of 1t that the plan MAS Sc once
reported to the House, and 1t Is under
stood /. will fad favor In The Senate.
His scheme simply ia t, allow apy

governor aud the attorney. general as to
its solvency, to be eligible to bsoone q
dasigna!sd stats dfpositary. 1t should
not, as at present, be required t. give q
trust company bond. To secure the de.
posts 1t shtu'd be required to deposit
with the st t, auditor bonds of The state,
upon which it Ztuld draw Interest.
Thsse bonds, which are new selling ct
SO, make S per cent. Investment. The
deposit Is not to succeed rs per cent. of
the par value of the bonds. Oa the de-
posts The banks would pay to the 1.-THE,
as a. present, p per cent. on daily BAL

No bank Is 10 be considered u1lasa 1t
will dfpcslt a! least $4,000 wort, OF

OF advertising It eli as state deposilsry
all 1t wished.
No favoritism would thus be shown
and nobody could kick. In addition, a
brisker demand would be created for
State bonds and the credit of Virgin a
will be enhanced. Ahead of Senator
Lassiter representatives of Alexandria
hanks which want to be depositaries
appeared. Senator Thornton thought If
it is necessary to have only few such
banks 1t might be we'll to eliminate
| some of the Richmond banks, and SO let
the outside people feel that they are a
part of the State Alexandria, he said,
Is struggling to stay In the State, and

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY.

The condition OF Mr.. Charles S.
Howell, son Of Mr.. G. w. Howell, and
who was seriously injured in runaway
accident in Fairfax county last Sunday
morning, has greatly improved and he
is now convalescing. The young man
had visited his fathers farm, about two
miles south of this city. He was ac-
companied by youth named Arthur
Reeves, and the couple had started on
the return trip when the horse attached
to the carriage in which they we're
seated became frightened and dashed
away. Losing one OF the lines, young
Howell was unable to guide the animal
and the buggy was damned between
the end Of the barn and tree. Reeves
escaped injury, but Howell was thrown
out, and striking on his head, was rem
dered unconscious. DR.. Hugh Mcclure
was summoned by telephone by young
Reeves. The doctor responded and
later the injured young man was
brought to the homo Of his parents In
this city. The runaway horse was
stopped by a man at the southern ap-
proach to Hunting Creek bridge. Ca.
Families are often OF dual nature.
While Mr.. Howell and the members OF
his family were gathered around the
injured young man message was re-
ccived that Mr.. Howelt's barn and its
contents had been destroyed by FIRE.
There was no insurance, and the loss
will reach 500.

THE DUAL HOLIDAY.

The two days Christmas holidays
are generally admitted to have been
the quictest ever experienced here
abouts Sunday, Christmas day proper,
savored somewhat OF Easter, from the
fact that but few explosions were heard,
and the victims Of excessive conviviality
were few and far between. 4 large
percentage of the population attended
the different churches OF the city whore
sermons appropriate to Christmas were
delivered in an impressive manner.
The music was also well-rendered.
Yesterday, the day observed as Christ
mas, was almost equally as quiet.
Most OF the Christmas gifts had been
exchanged on the previous day and the
little ones expected no new surprises at
the break OF yesterday. The explosive
feature Of Christmas was IN large
measure eliminated. Now and then
some enthusiastic person would dis
charge a saluting pistol, but the streets
this morning were clear of red paper
and other evidences OF Christmas fusi-
ladies'.
Comparatively few intoxicated people
were seen on the streets, notwith-
standing the fact that the saloons were
open nearly all that day. Most places
Of business we're closed in the afternoon.
After dark there was but little trans
piring in the streets to show that
Christmas had been observed during
the day. No accidents ,of a serious
nature have been reported, and the
