THE BANK CREDITORS MEETING
Largely Attended and Terminating with the Question
IS it Best to Accept Offer Of Directors.

IF this information is not in the
Mineral Point office, where 1t should be,
Mr.. Williams will doubtless send it to
YOU in response to the communication
of Sept 25th. above referred to.
"Mr. Mulhairn must have discovered
from the conference in my office that
Mr. Williams was very much opposed
to the acceptance of the proposition,
while | expressed myself, at the con-
ference. as being very much IN favor
of it's acceptance | believe the credl-
tors will receive much more money by
accepting the proposition and receiving
it now. than they viii after years OF
expensive litigation | say this with
out regard to what assets the Receiver
has in his hands, and cannot see why
this question should be considered in
connection with the acceptance of the
proposition of the directors, because
whatever assets there are in his hands
must be used to pay expenses and law
yer's fees until the estate is closed.
Ny experience has convinced me Of the
wisdom of the old saying, "A bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush.
Il have no information in detail in
regard to the assets in Mr.. Williams
hands. other than the statement made
by him at the conference in my office.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) VIM. A. VINCENT. F"
The following resolution, presented

Resolved, by the creditors of the
First National Bank of Mineral Point, |
that we condemn unspairingly all eff
forts and all proceedings calculated or
to stir up litigation between |
the creditors of Philip Allen and of the |
bank on the one hand and the Henry |
creditors on the other.
Resolved further, that we regard the
of the Central Wisconsin |
Trust company as trustee of the estate
IF Philip Allen, Jr., as unfortunate and |
request the Receiver of
the First National Bank of Mineral
Point 20 make earnest effort to have
said Trust company removed and a
ocal trustee appointed.
Resolved, that a copy Of this resolu-
lion be forwarded by the secretary of
his meeting to Hon. c. L. Williams,
Receiver Bluefield, West Virginia.

| A meeting of the creditors of the
collapsed First National Bank was hello
Monday afternoon, Oct. Z, in the fire
building in this city. 1t is estimated
there were five hundred creditors in
attendance.
Various reports and communications
We're read, and there was considerable
discussion pro and con. 1t was finally
decided to take postal card vote upon
the question as to whether the creditors
would favor the acceptance Of the Of
fer of the directors to settle the case
against them, with the understanding
that they (the directors) withdraw all
of their personal claims as well. which
amount to $50, 1853. 49.
The substance of the reports gath
cred by the committee is shown below
in double column form.
A communication from Judge VIM,
A. Vincent, senior counsel for the gov
eminent in this bank affair, and who
was appointed during Receiver Scho-

AT the conference in my office on

OUR EARLY RAILROADS.
Rules That Used to Be In Force Half q
Century Ago.

SontoTy fN9o'
A curious relic Of railroad operation
some fifty years ago In Tennessee and
Georgia is exhibited In the following
extracts from the rules then In force:
Each engineman will keep watch,
which must be regulated by the time of
his conductor at the commencement OF
each trip and will always have In his
possession the current schedule book.
Should any stock be killed which
may be likely to endanger the safety
Of the next train passing, the engine
man will stop his train until track Is
cleared.
AS general rule. when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run back. Apy dispute
as to which train has to retire Is to be
determined at once by the conductors
without any interference on the part
Of the enginemen. This rule Is re-
quired to be varied In favor Of heaviest
loaded engine or the worst grades. IL
they meet near the center, In case OF
backing, a man must be placed on the
lookout, 80 that any danger to the rear
most part Of the train may be seen and
the engineman at once receive notice.
The backing must be done cautiously

A JOCULAR MONARCH.
Ivan the Terrible Had Cold Bloodsd
Notions About Testing.

Ivan the Terrible forgot neither his
devotions nor his diversions. His pal
ace alternately resounded with pray
ing and carousing. He had a company
Of testers, whose duty 1t was to divert
him, especially before and after any
executions, but they often paid dearly
for an unreasonable joke.
Among these none was more distin-
guished than Prince Gvosdef, who held
q high rank at court.
The czar, being one day dissatisfied
with a Jest, poured over the princes
head the boiling contents Of a soup
basin. The agonized wretch prepared
10 retreat from the table, but the ty-
rant struck him with knife, and he
fell senseless to the floor. DR.. Arnolph
was instantly called.
"Save my good servantr cried the
czar. 81 have jested with him little
too hard"
$50 hard" replied the other, that
only God and your majesty can restore
him to life. He no longer breathes."
Ivan expressed his contempt, called
the deceased favorite dog and con-
tinued his amusements.
Another day, while he sat at table,
the waywode Of Staritza, Boris Titof,
appeared, bowed to the ground and
saluted him after the customary man
ner.
"God save thee, my dear waywode.
Thou deservest proof Of my favor"
~
Titof thanked the czar for his gracious
favor and wished him happy reign

IL Was Changeabie.

One of the large Kansas City stores
owes it's success In great measure to
its policy Of exchanging goods IL re-
turned in q salable condition. An ex-
ception is made when dress materials
have been cut from the bolt. One day
recently customer purchased ten
yards Of a two toned silk, which the
clerk assured her was the most fash
ionable fabric Of the season. When
she reached home with her purchase
she decided. on reflection, that a wool
en- material would be more serviceable.
Accordingly she returned to the store
the next day and requested the ex-
change. The clerk explained that 1t
was an impossibility. as the goods had
been cut.
"Why, bought this with the dis
tlnct understanding" demonstrated the
woman, that l could return 1t. Did
you not tell me 1t was changeable
