At a heavy expense to the people, a mili tia organization of 10,000 has been kept in exigence In tbls State for some years. They made n nice "bow (on paper) and were han dy for I'oilrtb of July celebrations, and the Centennial Exhibition, lint recent events have shown that they are utterly Incompe tent to quell domestic violence. With a few exceptions the otlicers wero Incompetent, and the men cowardly, or else open sympathizers with the mob. Men, women and children were unnecessarily shot down, and thus kin dled the fires of revolt, and in other instan ces where firmness was needed, whole com panies took to their heels, leaving their arm; in the hands of the rioters without firing n shot or fixing a bayonet. It is not the fault of the law. That was cirefully prepared by Gov. Hartranft and contains all that is necessary for a model or ganization. The principal evil is that the Republicans have made it a political or ganization and a rendezvous for political hacks. The men are not tnkeu from among veterans who could be relied on In any emergency, but from an inxperieneed or oh jecliouablo class. Of course there are hon orable exceptions, but they are rare. The fain needs no revision, hut tho organization dmy. JTIIi: HANK ItllliltKHY TKIAL. Some tinio ago a hank at Northampton, ila.ssacliu-ott.s, was robbed of a largo amount of money and securities. Tho robbers got into the house of tho cashier, Mr. Whittle."-, and after biniling.liim and his wife they forced liiui to give up the keys and to disclose the working of the combination lock on tho vault. Subsequently, two men, named Scott and Dunlap wero arrested for the theft, and are now on trial for tho crime. Tho principal witness againt tl-- m is William F. Kdson who claims to havo been an accomplice and who has given full particulars of tho planning and execution of the daring scheme, on the witness stand. Mrs. Whittlcsy thinks sho identifies the two men as tho men who hound her, though both men were masked. Edson was at one time in tho employ of n cafe manufacturing com pany and is an expert in locks. At tho time he was so employed ho was engaged in plot ting different bank robberies, though his em ployers had perfect confidence in him. lie testifies that Scott and Dunlap entered into a enmnanv with him in rrili nn Elmlm l.nnt- Th defense is an ulibi, and that Kdson lias sworn as ho has against the prisoners on ac count of a grudge hohas towards them. It is not denied that the parties were old cro nies. Great excitement has prevailed in Northampton ever sinco tho trial becan. It will probably close this week. SAVING FUND FINES. Tho following opinion as to tho manner of charging fines by the several Saving Fund As sociations of this county has just been filed by Judge Elwell Tho caso was a scire facias on a mortgage to which an affidavfciof defence was filed. The plaintiff association claimed to be entitled to fines for non-paymeut of dues and interest for six months previous to bringing tlio .suit which was November 1S7G, and afterwards until April 1877, when tho defendant's securi ties were forfeited; and also to fines charged at the rate often cents on each dollar of dues and interest for every month in arrears. De fendant claimed that plaintiff could not col lect more than one fine on each dollar in ar rears,nor for a longer period than six months. The facts were submitted in a caso stated. CASE STATED. Opinion if Hip f'uurl. Tho fifth aiticie of the charter of tho Bloomsburg Mutual Saving Fund Associa tion provides that "For ever' dollar of dues or interest which shareholders neglect or re fuse to pay, they shall pay a fine often cents for eqcb month in arrears." Now, as tho un paid dollar of tho first month is in arrears for tho second month, the languago of the char tcr allows the imposition of a lino for the non payment of the second and succeding mouths. Building Association vs. George, 3 Weekly Notes 239. Whero there is power to impose fines and tho rules imposing tlicm are clearly expressed, tho Courts will allow them to be enforced, if not unreasonable. In tho caso referred to in Jluilding Association Journal for Juno 1875, the by law was"willbosubject to a fine of three pence per share for tho first month, and every succeeding month thrco pence per sharo addi tional on tucli repayments." This was con strued to mean one" fino of thrco penco on each share. This is different from a provis ion for a fino on every dollar for each month in arrears. x no oniy question men is, wnetucr sucli a fino is unreasonable. If it were unlimited in point of time I think it would lie, as it would then amount to a forfeiture far exceeding the debt itself. Bat where prompt payment is actually necessary to the success of tho cor poration, and delay is unjust to the other .members who pay according to their ngreo- , incnt, tho provision for imposing a fine monthly for six months or until tho whole hum becomes due and payable by reason of HuTalll, 14 nftt En nnrncnn.lilnnnil mLnntia na to render it void. But after failure to pay interest and dues .for six months, tho charter imposes another - and d iffei cnt penalty to-wit : that tho whole debt shall become due and payable. There are after that time no monthly dues and no fines can bo charged for non-payment. The Association must pursuo its remedy for collec' tion by legal process and must be content will legal interest. For tho purpose of recovering , .both interest, and fines on interest and pay . . incuts, tho association cannot neglect to pur sue tho remedy which the by law and the ,, contract of tho party debtor has placed in its hands. The Board of Pardons refused to enter tain the JSeamUh case at their meeting last week. The next meeting of the Board wil be on the first week In Sept., and will be the , r'arltrrt time t whlrh application can now b made for pinion. THE CHEAT STRIKE. The strike on the Baltimore .t Ohio Ball Road, announced In our last Issue has as sniiieil nlarmlng proportions. Our .space hies not permit us In give details hut we present our readers n summary of facts to the date of our Issue. l'RllAY,MtJLY 20. The strikes on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad extended yesterday along the line to Chicago. Tho United States troops sent from Washington and Baltimore arrived at Martlnsbiirg early in tho muriilug, and bar racked In olio of tho round-homes. During the afternoon and night KOvcral trains wero moved from Mnrtiusburg under protection f the military, and It was expected that all could bo moved from that point to-day. In the afternoon, tho telegraph wires west of the town wero cut by tho strikers, and tho officials of Ohio division called upon tho Governor of Ohio for troops. Soveral of tho ringleader at Martliisburg wero arrested in tho afternoon, which had a subduing effect on their followers. Klsewhere, tho strikers seem to havo been still masters of the situa tion. The Ireight train men on the Western Dl- ision of the Pennsylvania Railroad also struck yesterday, against nil order of the Company Increasing thn number of cars in their trains. The strikers prevented the moving of freight at Pittsburg, aud before evening there were eighteen trains without crews to run them. At a meeting of the strikers, in which tho engineers participated as held last night, and it was determined to stand firm. Tho Central "Council of the Labor League f the United States met In Washington yesterday, and adopted resolutions in refer ence to the prevailing depression of labor, and the evils likely to result therefrom. Tho resolutions advise coolness and moderation, and warn members of tho Order as well as working men in general, "to beware of emissaries who go around inciting to strikes and violence, which injure labor generally, and result In the conviction and punish ment of the participants therein ;" they also declare that "mob violence and riot lean on ly to anarchy and the final destruction of iiman liberty, and it is better to submit to any sort of despotism for the time being than to have no government at all.'1 A mass meeting of tho Labor League of tho District f Columbia will be held next week to en- lorse these resolutions. SATURDAY, JULY 21. On the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad trains began to move yesterday morning at Mar tinaburg, under military protection, and by eleven o'clock thirteen had started seven west and six cast. The train sent to Keyser on Thursday night with a lieutenant and thirteen soldiers was stoned at Sir John's Run, but no one was injured. Yesterday fternoon two companies of troops were sent to the latter place. Tho firemen of some of tho freight trains arriving at Keyser, Cumberland wero taken off by the strikers: The trouble at Cumberland was such that the Fifth Regiment was ordered there from Baltimore. Governor Carroll issued a proc lamation in the afternoon, commanding the rioters along the the line of the railroad to disperse. In Ohio, the passage of trains was stopped at Newark, and, the cival authorities being powerless, the Governor of Ohio Issued a proclamation against the strikers,and ordered four military companies to the scene. The atriko on the Western Division of the I Pennsylvania Railroad continued yesterday, and tho firemen on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago road joined it in the afternoon. Over a thousand loaded freight and cattle cars accumulated at rittsburg, and the strikers are very threatening in their conduct. The Sheriff of Alleghany being unable to preserve the peace, General Pear son was ordered to call out the three regi ments in Pittsburg.but he was unable to col lect the men in sufficient force. The Gov ernor, therefore, Issued a proclamation, aud called out the entire First Division of the Militia. Two Gatllng guns and a quantity of ammunition were sent from Harrisburg to Pittsburg last night. The hands on the western division of the Erie Railway, at Ilornellsville, struck yes terday morning, and all passenger as well as freight trains were abandoned, except those on the Niagara Falls branch. To-night all the interest in the Baltlmoro and Ohio Railroad strike centres in Baltimore arid Cumberland, Maryland. Governor Carroll came to Baltimore this morning,aud was assured of the grave state of affairs at Cumberland, where a mob had assembled and used abusive language towards two companies of United States troops, com manded by .Captain Litchfield, who re mained in the cars. The troops had not been called to operate in Maryland, and ere merely en route to Keyser, West Vir ginia, where it was expected they would be needed to quell an insurrection in that State. In Baltimore Governor Carroll was satisfied of tho need of prompt action to preserve the peace of Maryland. Ho ascertained that the situation was very threatening at Cum berland, aud did not believe tho local au thorities could preserve order. Ho there- tore issued a proclamation, calling on all citizens of Maryland to abstain from acts of lawlessness aud to aid the lawful authorities n the maintenance of pcaco aud order. The Governor then gave orders that the Filth Regiment(Maryland National Guard)sbould proceed at 9 o'clock, under command of Brigadier General James R. Herbert, to cm bark for Cumberland, and that tho Sixth Regiment, Colonel C. Peters, should be held in readluess for orders. The commands had been notified on Wednesday that there might be need for their services, and tho signal for assemblage at their armories was the City Hall alarm bell striking 1-5-1. ran alarm bouNDED. This alarm was souuded ut C:30 P. M, and, with the soldiers, it drew to the vicinity of the armories Immense crowds of men, many of them with dinner-buckets in hand coming from their work. Tho crowd was especially large at the Sixth Regiment arm ory, which is on the corner of Front and Fayette strects.opposite the shot tower. Tho Sixth Regiment is composed largely of wort Ingmen. lue crowd jeered and stoned the soldiers. Cheers were given for the strikers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany, developing a great sympathy amoug the crowd, which grew greater every minute, Stones were thrown at the armory and nearly all the windows were broken. Finally, at about 8 o clock, three companies of the regl ment, numbering 120 men under Captain Tupper, of Company B, attempted to move out of the armory and were stoned in the vestibule by the crowd pressing over the sidewalks. The column staggered and full back, unwilling to use their breech-loaders or bayonets, which were fixed. Finally, the column issued forth again, and were agal greeted with a shower of cobble-stones from the pavement, which had been torn up i front of the armory. nit; toLPiKM run;. The soldiers fired on tho mob ilid the first volley killed 0110 man outrlgtit. Two other volleys wero fired and tho erond scattered. One company went by way of Fayctto street and the others by FrnnUtreet to llaltlinoro street. The latter were followed by n crowd using stones, and tho attack continued on Baltlmoro street, all tho way up on the road to the Camden depot. Tho militia marched without music, at a very rapid pice, turning to firo right and left as they were assaulted with stones. Ten persons were left dead or wounded on llaltlmoro street, several of thcni being newsboys, who had been crylug tho afternoon papers. Of coiino tho street was quickly cleared and the militia parsed on to the depot, whero they wcra to join tho Filth Regiment from their up-town nrni- ory. tiii: killed and wounded. Seven men nro known to bs killed and eight wounded, some of them mortally. Tho dead and tho dying were taken Into conveni ent saloons nnd drug stores, tho floors of which look llko butcher pens. At n saloon corner of Holiday and Baltimore ntrects a dead boy, with his skull crushed in, a dead man, with his bowels torn out by a ball, and nuothcr dying of wound in the neck, lay on tho lloor. Similar scenes characterized other localities on the route. At Cauden Depot an Immense mob was congregated, and the Fifth Regiment found tl dlllicalt to make the way clear. The crowd, piesaing upon them, tore the muskets from many of the men, but there was no firing. EXCITEMENT IK THE CITY. The greatest excitement and Indignation prevails In tho city. The troop train for Cumberland, which was expected to leave at 9 o'clock, could not leave, as It was reported that the tracks between Baltimore and tho Relay House wero torn up in several places. No evening trains due could get in. It was evident, too, that there is now us much uso for troops in Baltimore as anywhere elso in the State. The strikers and iiympathizcrs here held a large general meeting to-day privately, but it is not believed this meeting had anything to do with the emeute, which was sudden, unexpected anil apparently spontaneous. MONDAY, JULY 2.1. t&itttrdivj at 1'ithbnvy. The situation In Pittsburg on Saturday morning was extremely critical. The Alle gheny county troops and (bote from Phila delphia were on duty, including infantry ar tillery and cavalry. The strikers, however, expressed the greatest contempt for the mil itary, and mingled freely among them. From the Union Depot to '.Cwcnty-cighth street tho streets and avenues were all pick eted, and every suspicious individual was stopped. Judge Ewing, of the Common Pleas Court, early in the morning issued warrants for tho arrest of the principal strik ers, and Sheriff Fife attempted to secure a posse of one hundred men to cxecuto them, but could only obtain eighteen, most of whom were the regular deputies. Prepara tions for a umiflict were b'fun abuut six o'clock. iiikI at that time the military, with Gatlini; gum and lield-picciw. were being concentrated, and the striken reinforced by millers from Wilkinsburg nuiJl idlo workmen in the east end. More than half the men engaged in the obstruction of the tracks have no connection with thci railroad, and all the late accessions are froi a non-railroad- The city was in a feverish .jtate of excite ment and the streets throrged. At 3:40 o'clock tin. First Brigade of Philadelphia, under General Brinton, and headed by Su perintendent Pitcairn, left tl 10 Union Depot for the bceno of disturbance at the Twenty eighth street crossing, roaruhing out along the track and preceded by the Sheriff and his posse. Anticipating failure in the effort to disperse the strike.s, the Sheriff, accom panicd by sonic fifteen deputies, expected to attempt the arrests and then call upon the military lor the required assistance. Ihe party arrived at Twenty-eighth street short ly before 5 o'clock. When the line reached tjio depot they im- med ately cleared the crossing amid the jeers and hootings of the itrikers, who wide ly scattered through the fjreat crowd, there being not less than G,0W) people present. Consultation was then hekl by the officers in command with Superintendent Pitcairn and the Sheriff, after which tiio latter proceeded to read the riot act. ILaying warrants for the arrest of fifteen of the ringleaders ho proceeded to make an arrest. The parties lar man for whom the i warrant was issued approached, waved his hat, and calling, to the crowd and the strilrcrs, said, "Give them hell." Immediately a. shower of boulders was hurled into the troops nnd one revolver shot fired into tbe'iania. General Brinton then ordered his men. to fire, and the word went along the line from platoon to platoon until the left of the Hue was reached, and then the firing was repeated several times. Tho crowd fled In dismay and hid wherever it was possible. Immediately after tho fir ing crowds of excited people sprang up from all directions, and the imprecations against the Philadelphia troops, who wero blamed by ttie strikers and the mob as being rejpon Bible for the truuble, were very threatening. These remarks were interspersed with loud and bitter threats that the company's shops, depots and buildings should be laid In ashes. Sixteen persons were killed and thirty or forty wounded. Tho shooting exasperated the strikers intensely, and at 10 o'clock the city was in possession of a howling mob, The gun stores and cutlery shops were forced open and gutted of their contents, iirmlug thousands of men who had sworn vengeance against the military. tiii: troops besieged. The troops retired alter the shooting to the rouud house, where they wero besieged by the mob. The cars standing on tho track outside tho depot containing oil weru set on fire, and at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, the tracks for the distance of a quarter of a mile were one sheet of flame, tho inteutlou being to burn the military out of tho round house. The firemen were not allowed to uso their engines. A number of the citizens went to the Philadelphia soldiers,who were intrench ed in the Pennsylvania round house, and begged them to leavo the city, as a general massacre was feared. They were unable te do so on account of tho surrounding mob aud three of the soldiers who attempted to Blip out singly were shot and Instantly killed Two citizens were shot down on Liberty street, and it was reported that Sheriff Fife was killed and General Pearson mortally wounded. The rioters also captured three pieces of ordnance from Knap's battery, This was the condition of affairs at the close of Saturday night's and Sunday morning's reports. ON THE KOAI). At Altoona at 5 o'clock a train of soldiers arrived, en route for 1'ltLaburg, wheu the strikers congregated on tho railroad and at tempted to keep It from starting, but the train got off, toil while it was moving out the strikers threw stones and fired a number of shots at It. Several soldiers returned the fire, but no one was hurt. After the train left the rioters dispersed along the railroad in squads and since then everything has ree n quiet.

Tho situation yesterday remained grave. Although In some localities order was restor ed, a mob spirit prevailed in others, nnd there was an extension of tho strikes. Tho Government at Washington is prepared to uso decided measures for tho suppression of disorder. In this State, matters wero greatly im proved at Pittsburg, whero quiet prevailed during tho day nnd last night, tho members of (he Grand Army of tho Republic nnd tho Veterans doing patrol duty. The rioters at Twenty-eighth street surrendered thcirguns, including the three pieces of artillery taken by them on Saturday. Tho officers of tho Fort Wayne road informed the strikers that there would bo no compromise, and it is tatcd that, on learning this even tho hands on tho passenger trains quitted work. Tho hlladelphla militia men, or a portion of them, started cast, and 23 members of the irst and Second Regiments were captured west of Harrisburg by a body of several bun dred strikers, who, however, treated them well. Captain Snowden and thirty-two of the City Troop were "found a mile outside" Harrisburg, and conducted by their friends to the Stato Arsenal. In Reading.yesterday afternoon, another deplorable riot occurred. "our companies of the Fourth Regimcnt,be- ingstonedbysome strikers in thedeepcut.fircd ndlseriminately at the crowd of citizens and ollco in the streets, tilling five and wound ing over twenty.

In Ohio, tho railroad strikers in Columbus compelled tho employees in the rolling mill and a number of other manufactories to quit work. A similar courso was pursued at Zanesville. Freight traffic on the Cleveland Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. Cleveland and Pittsburg, Pittsburg, Cincta nati and St. Louis, and Ohio and Mississippi Railroads is suspended. In Indiana, there were strikes on the Van dalia and the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroads. The machine shops at Terre Haute wero closed and the fires put out, In Missouri, the strike on the Eastern roads, centering at St. Louis, went into ef fect at midnight on Sunday night. The employees of the Transit Company also struck. In West Virginia, the Adams Express car on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was stopped near Wheeling yestcrday,the Btrikers saying they would allow only "strictly pas- senger and mail trains to pass. The men employed in the railroad company's shops in Wheeling were compelled to quit work. In Illinois, the effect of the disturbance is felt in Chicago, no freight trains having been sent East from that city yesterday, Some of the firemen and brakemen on the Canada Southern Railroad, ut Detroit,struck yesterday. A reduction of ten per cent, in tho wages of all the employees of tho Central Pacific Railroad Company went Into effect ou the 1st of June. It is now announced that t he old rates of wages have been restored, and will hereafter be paid in silver. A. telegram from Cheyenne states that tho employees of theUnlon Pacific Railroad have been notified by the General Superintendent that tho order of tho President reducing their wages on July 1st has been rescinded. This will prevent a strike on that road. WEDNESDAY, JULY 25.

The strikers on the New York Central road, following the example of some of their brethren in tho West detailed men to guard the railroad property from tramps, and disclaimed any connection with the Communistic element. The strike has become general at Chicago. A general suspension of coal mining took place in tbo Schuylkill region yesterday. The mines are blocked up with cars, owing to the trouble at Reading.

AITAIItS AT DANVILLE. The decision of tho borough council at the special meeting last night, that work would be furnished tho disaffected men at tho rate of eighty cents a day, for two days of tho week, was not accepted by the men. They claim that $1.00 per week is not sufli- cient to keep themselves and families from starving. Contrary to all hope and expec tation tho mob reorganized this morning, and Bcveinl inflammatory speeches wero made. About noon the mob made descent on a building in which it was supposed arms belonging to a disbanded military organ ization were stored, but succeeded in secur ing only two or three old muskets. Somo one started the report that the arms were stored in the third story of tho Baldy build ing, corner of Mill and Northumberland streets, for which place the excited mob rushed, followed by boys and women, while the alarmed citizens fully aroused to the sense of their peril, looked on vainly ondeav oring to decide upon some plan by which the dangor could be averted. Arriving at the entrance leading to the third story of the . . - Baldy building, the mob was met and refus' ed admission by polico officers King and Klphin, and ex-Senator Chalfant, editor of the Intelligencer, whose office is In the sec ond floor of the building. Threats were made that unless admission was granted blood would be spilt.to which the threo gen tlemen responded with commendable cour rage "that an entrance could only be effect ed over their dead bodies." The determined manner of the gentlemen awed the crowd, which soon dispersed and congregated in crowds of fifteen or twenty at different street corners. No further demonstrations have been made, although the excitement is still intense. The council meets again this eve ning, and if their action is not favorable it is expected that stirring scenes will be wit nessed in Danville. THE LATEST ItEPOUT. Danville, July 24. 10M0 p. m. The borough council did not hold a meeting as was Intended. The chief burgess had a num ber of special police sworn in to prevent, as far as possible, any damage that might oc cur by fire during tho night. The swearing in of the police was done with closed doors. Everything quiet at this hour. HOW IT WOltKS. At last ono Federal official has been found who loves his party more than he loves of fice. His name is Jones. He has been postmaster at Nowdlum, Oregon, for sixteen years, and here is what he said, according to Don Piatt's Capital of Sunday ; Newdlum, 0., July 1, 1877. Mr. J'. AT. Oenl. Key and Tyner : I ree'd tho Prest't'a order concerning be ing P. M, I consider this very small bill ness ; but you want my offico and you don't want my jaw. Now I havo been P. M. here nigh on to 10 year, and in all that time I ain't maid my solt. Newdlum is a town without much pop., and that pop, is of tho ignorest sort. They don't reod nor rite woth a cuss, and half the time when the male come chased in ahead of the time by Injuns and other wild varmints they are no letters and no papers, only dry goods slch as whiskey and tobacco. That don't pay. But Newdlum Is hell on votin, and every year I get orders from the State Central Committee to fetch doun tho polls with so many votes, and you bet I do, for I get pade for that. So you con take your damod old office and wipe yourhead with, for theyr not another cuss in this neck of woods that can read or rite worth a dam, and wouldn't have It If he could. Agin, I'm ordered to be In my offis during bizness hours, and I could do that and starve I spose. True, I cood keep the ollis in my bat, and be in it most ot the time, if there was anything to put In it, but tber ain't. Hoping this may meet with your aprobaclon and find you and yur family well, I rumane, yours trooly, Seneca Jones. At latest accounts Jones was the only postmaster who had sent in his resigna tion. Hon. William McClelland, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, says the Pittsburg Post, reports the organization of the party throughout the State as favorable to a full vote this fall. The signs of the times indicate that it will not be an off year so far as Democrats are concerted, but that they properly appreciate tho necessity for rescuing tho State from the bands of rapa cious politicians and remorseless Rings. ie above statement shows tlio names of tlio collectors of each of the several dlstrictt, and the number of tnxables, n ' - " ' - , , ., v .....u, ...uiu ui uiiraiim jaiiu, money ni interest, nouseuoiu lurniture il cattlo and the value, value of nubile loans nud stacks, number of nlpnxim mrrl firms nnil tlm vnlna trnlitn nf Townships.

The many who voted for Hayes in the hopes of better times must acknowledge that sales by pherifls or constables havo not decreased. Our own county is a sad illustration of tho fact. The following extract from tho Shen andoah Hcrahl, we republish as an item of general interest to our leaders : Ashland, July IS. Tho readers of the Herald will no doubt bo very much surprised when they learn that tho First National Hank of Ashland is about going into liquidation. The affairs of thi.s institution havo always been managed with signal ability, but like very many of its contemporaries, it must at last succumb to the disjointed condition of tho times. For pome time pa.st it has been appa rent to the officers of the bank, that unless something unforeseen would occur they would have to close up nud acknowledge their ina bility to do business, in tho face of popular distrust. CONDITION 01' THE HANK. On tho 22d of June last a btatcuicnt of its affairs was drawn up, which however, showed that at that timo all things considered, the bank was in a fair condition and if the times would soon improvo all would be well, but at a meeting of tho directors on Saturday last they concluded that thero was no prospect of an immediate improvement and that it was best to go into voluntarily iquidation. The liabilities of the bank arc something like S70,000and wo aro informed by an officer of tho bank that the assets are at least double that amount. THE DEPOSITORS. The depositors will be paid off as rapidly as possible, and it is thought that in sixty days they will have received every cent of their claims. It will tako something like ono year before the stockholders can be 6ettlcd with. Pending this time the bank will keep open and transact tho business necessary to 'closing up its affairs. The assets include 1 1 , . , , . I, bonds and mortgages, loans, and considerable money duo from approved re&erve agents, also agreat deal of real estate that it will tako some time to dispose of satisfactorily. THE CAUSE. Mr. Robert Gorrell is President of tho bank, and to his loss of the great cDal case can be attributed to somo extent at least the public distrust in the institution and its loss of business. The deposits have been so small that for the past six months there has been but little discounting done. Tho verdict of $128,000 against Mr. Gorrell is what precipi tated matters, THE CONTINENTAL COLLIEUV. Apropos of the big verdict it looks as if Dr. Prevost would experience considerable diffi culty in getting even a portion of it. Sheriff Hoffman, of Columbia county, created a brcezo iu Centralia yesterday morning by levy ing on tho Continental Colliery owned by Robert Gorrell & Co. The miners, to whom Mr. Gorrell owes soveral months waxes flow around lively and naturally wero anxious to know what it all meant. It did not take long before they disanered that tho Sheriff was di rected to levy on the property to tho extent of $00,000 in consideration of a debt in favor of John T. Audcnried of Philadelphia, a former partner of Mr. Gorrell's. Dr. Prevost is much exercised over this part of the pro gramme as are the miners, and judging from present indications thero will be no end to tho litigations arising from this levy. THE UNION COLLIERY. It never rains but it pours. On Monday morning last there was an immense crowd of peoplo around tho Union Collier', owned by John Anderson & Co. Coustablo Welsh was going to sell tho lease and effects of this col liery, iu lieu of divers executions caused to bo issued by the employees who wanted a couplo of mouths' wages duo thcni. There was no sale. Sheriff Hoffman got out an in junction provo nting tho coustablo from pro ceeding to extremities. As soon as this was done tbo Shcrifflevied on the property for a debt of $9,000 in favor of Robert J. Ryou, a former partner of Mr. Anderson's. Quito a number of executions were issued against tho Union colliery by tho employees, but as soon as tho constable got possession of them they wero bailed to court by Mr. Anderson. Finally a number of writs wero issued that were not bailed and hence the men wero sanguine of getting their pay. While the coustablo was preparing to mako a sale the levy was made by the Sheriff on Ryou's judgment. As soon as tho Sheriffgot through making his lovy 'Squiro Murphy of Central ia hied himself to Bloomsburg and laid the matter before Judge Elwcll. His Honor de cided that Sheriff Hoffman could havo fifteen days to mako a sale, and if nt tho end of that timo tbo 'property was not told constable Welsh should go on and dispose of it iu tho interests of tho employees. Hero tho matter rests for tho present. Tho men are to be commiserated for being compelled to remain so long without their money, but as their claims are preferred by the laws of the State, they will finally get what is coming to them.
