STORJOEWS FKOJI THE OTHER FOISTS
Fort IxJDftE, June 27. The first detailed
information of the remarkable flood at
Cherokee, received this afternoon, explains
, why no lives were lost. The down-pour of
of water commenced at 9 o'clock in the
evening, and at 3 in the morning George
Thompson,, a member of the fire depart
ment, became alarmed at the increasing
ferocity of the storm On going out and
finding the entire bottom inundated, he
rang the fire bell. It proved to be just in
the nick of time. The citizens responded to
the alarm with alacrity, and taking in the
situation at a glance, rushed from house to
"house, awakening the endangered people.
The flood increased so rapidly that many
families had to be carried from their homes
through several feet of water. To add to
the people's terror an electric storm pre
vailed. Only One Avcpnc or Escape.
There was but one refuge from the flooded
district, the Main street bridge, and hun
dreds flj ing for their lues were soon rush
ing across. The rise of water was so rapid,
lioweicr, that many people barely escaped
with their lives "in crossing the bridge.
Three men were on the structure when it
gave way, but saved themselves by clinging
to trees.
The river rose six feet in one hour.
People who refused to leave their houses
had to be taken out later Irom
upper story windows by brave
men manning the few available
boats. One man was rescued in the top of a
tree when nearly succumbing to exhaustion,
and another was rescued from the roof of a
floating house just before it was dashed to
pieces on the railroad bridge. All kinds of
animals went floating down stream, and the
strusglinsr of the large number of helple:.s
creaturesn the current made a sight that
was pitiful. E cry house left standing on
the bottom was flooded, some of them to the
second floor, and many were moved a consid
erable distance, while others were shoved
from their foundations.
Eiery House Pillaged by Thieves.
Vandals are at work while aid is being
rendered the unfortunates. The flooded
houses all show that thev hae been entered
and robbed of everything of value. The
waters are now fast tailing and prospects
are brightening. A small steamboat is run
ning across the flooded district. A relief
committee is doing noble work for the suf
ferer's, but too much aid can hardly be ren
dered. " "Words fail to convey an accurate idea of
the nature of the damage done here. Chero
kee lias in the last year increased its popu
lation by 000. Many of these are yonng
people, employes and mechanics, the" hard
workers and builders of cities, with limited
"-ieans, who have been saving to build a
(riome and have Tost that home and all their
effects. The fo.tunate ones of the city arc
doing all in their power to alleviate the
sufferings of the homeless.
Communication with the city by rail is
entirely destroyed, and it is only by fording
smollcn streams and wallowing through
mud that anyone outside can reach the city.
Nearly the whole track from here
to Lemars is washed out. The following ap
peal was made to-day:

SrZCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, .June 27. A dispatch
from Trenton to the Sew Yorl: Worid is as
follows: .
Keystone certificate No. 450 is in the name
of John Wanamaker and is for 300 shares.
It was placed with tho Mechanics' National
Bank of this city along with other securities
as collateral by H. H. Yard. Cashier Stelle
thought it would be wise to have the cer
tificate transferred so that it would bo in
the control of the bank. He therefore went
to Philadelphia and had it transferred to
Sering P. Dunham, President of the bank,
who is also a member of the firm of Scudder
& Dunham.
In reference'to this the following from the
recqrd of Receiver Yardley's testimony be
fore the committee last "Wednesday is
quoted: "No. 450, for 200 shares, issued to
"Wanamaker on February 10, 1886, was regu
larly signed by Lucas and Marsh, and the
power of attorney in blank was signed 'John
Wanamaker. William Jtantiu, witness.
There was no mark of cancellation on this
certificate."
This means that this certificate was found
by Yardiey in the bank, but that it appar
ently had not been cancelled. It certainly
cannot be in Yardlev's lands and in "Wana
maker's too. Yardiey had it with him at
the investigation.
Judge 'Gordon and President Judge Fin-
letter to-day handed down two conflicting
opinions in relation to the right of the city
to claim the property of the Bradford Mills
and to continue an ' injunction restraining
John and James Dobson from selling the
Bradford Mills under a judgment for?172,
fi81 confessed by the Bradford Mills to the
Dobsons at the instance of John Bardsley in
order to protect the .Dobsons against liabili
ties incurred as sureties for Bardsley as
City Treasurer. Judge Gordon stated that
in the motion to dissolve the injunction the
Court was divided in its opinion and that
according to the ordinary rules of practice
the preliminary injunction granted by the
Court without argument on the filing of the
bill would talk The bill, however, was not
dismissed, but would pass through the
Court and be heard according to the usual
routine of such cases, and that the full
Court might make another decision when
the case came up for a final hearing.
A bill was filed to-day in the Court of
Common Pleas Xo. 1 in equity in regard to
30,257 58 in the shape of a clearing house
due bill. An injunction is asked to restrain
the Fourth National Bank from paying the
due bill and to restrain ex-Treasurer Uards
leys Mrs. Bardsley or Miss Latham from ne
gotiating it and to compel them to transfer
it to the city authorities. It is also asked
that Glendcnning & Co. be compelled to
explain the transactions which led to Bards
ley getting the due bill. It is a rather com
plicated affair, but the intimations are that
Bardsley took this means to save money for
himself and family.
CLASHING WITH THE CHIEF.
Allegheny's Snb-Library Committee
De-
nled the Ilight to Kent a Room.
A meeting of the Allegheny Sub-Committee
on Library was called for yesterday
afternoon to consider a proppsition of the
congregation of Rev. J. It. J. Milligan, which
secededfrom the Allegheny .Reformed Pres
byterian Church when the pastor was ex
pelled by Synod. The congregation put in
a petition for the use of the lecture hall on
Sundays for the purpose of holding services.
The sub-committee did not meet, however,
owing to lack of a quorum, and another
meeting has been called for to-morrow
afternoon. There is likely to be some
trouble over the matter before the end is
reached, as Chief Ehlers, of the Department
of Public "Works, declares the committee
has no power to let any part of the building
for any purpose whatever, as he has sole
control" over it by reason of his office.
The members of the, committee think
otherw ise, however, and state that they will
let the lecture hall or any other part of the
building to anybody they choose. The con
gregation which desires "the room will also
hold a meeting to-morrow afternoon a'hd
will probably have something to say in the
matter.

TAXED TO THE LIMIT.
New Interpretations of the Liquor License
Law Making tho Trad a Dangerous In
vestment The Immense Power or a Pro
hibitionist on the Bench. '
Isn't it just possible "that Macauley's
hypothetical 2Jew Zealander will moralize
on our enlightened control of the liquor
business as we do on Blackstone's defense
of the barbarous English laws to punish the
innocent families of suicides? According
to droppings heard "here and there, it seems
that the last tum of the screw has been
made that the liquor trade can stand, and
Attorney C. F. McKenna opines, in a jocu
lar but at the same time semi-serious manner,
that it may be just possible that next year
the authorities may find it necessary to dis
tribute licenses gratis or give the business
over wholly to the speak-easy people, or
possibly come to prohibition at a bound, as
he says that under the new wholesale
law a judge of temperance proclivities
will have power to determine whether, in'
his judgment, a wholesale house in any
given locality is a necessity, and can refuse
to grant a license, as at present he has the
discretionary power in the case of retail deal
ers, and can easily involve a business enter
prise in ruin, though millions of dollars
may be invested in its plant and distribut
ing business.
Mr. McKenna also suggests that the law
ought to be made known speedily, as it is
obscure in some respects and hasn't been
fully passed upon by the courts and its pro
visions, under the ordinary method of dis
tributing such information, will not be
known for a month or more.
It is evident to all who make it a study
that the liquor trade has been paying a
hen y price as a condition of existence, and
that since its profits have been cut down
through the operation of the Brooks law,
many saloonkeepers are likely to hesitate
about asking for license next year. Some in
the trade are beginning to urge that if the
business is so dangerous as the guards set
about it w ould indicate, the friends of liquor
license had better join the prohibitionists
and cease to compound lor blood money.
At present there is a disposition to resent
the city's discrimination against liquor
dealers in charging them ten times as much
business tax on gross sales as other dealers
are charged. "While some people thought
the law must be clear on this subject, ev
Councilman and ex-Lcgislatof O'Neill
insisted that no higher authority for the
levy could be found than the will
of the Finance Committee of Councils. Mr:
O'Neil stated that when 'he was in Council
it was 12 mills, but that Mr. Littcll had it
reduced to 10. and it has been that ever
since, though not warranted by law.
Messrs. G. F. McKenna and Morton
Hunter said that of course the levy could
not be collected, as it was unconstitutional,
as taxation must be uniform on the same
class of subjects.
City Assessor Larkin said the Finance
Committee claimed the power to make the
discrimination, but that it hadn't the shadow
thereof; though, as liquor dealers were ter
rorized, they had alwaj s submitted. As for
the Board of Assessors, it had nothing be
fore it but to execute the order of the com
mittee and make the levy.
R. H. Lindsay said: "Of course it's
illegal, but the saloon keepers, being
chumps, were afraid'to make a fight."
Of course if it be true as asserted that
only a small percentage of saloonkeepers can
make money and pay $1,000 license,a mercan
tile tax, business tax (the latter ten times
what other businesses pay),water tax, house
rent, etc, thev will either go out of the bus
iness, run it illegally, or make a fight.
BHOBTENING THE B0AD.
The Cnt From Dowingtown to Trenton Will
Soon Be Finished.
The competition between the Pennsylvania
and New York Central roads is becoming
keener every day. About a week ago the
Pennsylvania issued orders to accept mile
age books on the limited, which is a great
concession. So far the new fast trains have
not affected the business of the flyer, but
the conductors, who are good judges, think
there will soon be a falling off.
The question of time between New York
and Chicago is quite a factor, and the Penn
sylvania expects to reduce the schedule
about an hour in a short time. The iork
on the cut across tin country from Dow
jngtown to Trenton is being pushed rapidly.
This will shorten the road 34 miles to New
York. A connection will be run from
Philadelphia to .the main line, but
the people of that city can't
help feeling that thev are being ignored.
The Quaker City is too big to be avoided,
but the cry now" is anything to beat the New
York Central at every point. It is sup
posed that after awhile even common passes
will be good on the limited.
Sunday trains are now being run to Cleve
land over the Cleveland and Pittsburg
road. Since the death of Vice President
McCullough the management has been more
liberal toward this branch of the Pennsyl
vania system. A train leaves here at 8:10
Sunday morning, and a through Pullman
car connecting with the .Eastern express at
7:15 in the evening is run from Cleveland,
making the time to New York 15 hours.
A Free Fight on Penn Avenue.
Joseph Fisher, Joseph Myers and two
Poles engaged in a fight at Sixteenth street
about 10.30 o'clock last night and were pun
ishing each other severely until Officer Mc
Govern arrested them and sent them to the
Twelfth ward police station. All of thoy
arrested -were considerably bruised and cut
about their faces.

A TALK BY-CLEVELAND
The Man Who, Next to Blaine, Is Most
in the Eye of the Nation
DISCUSSES SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
Doesn't Let the Opportunity Pass Without a
Slap at Protection.
L0G-E0LLING AMONG THE LAWMAKERS
Providence, R. L, 'June 27. The din
ner of the Commercial Club this evening
was marked by one of the most distinguished
assemblies that ever sat at its board. Tue
especial guests of the evening were ex
President Grover Cleveland and Richard,
Watson Gilder, of the Century.
Private and special legislation was the
theme of the everting. Ex-Chief Justice
Durfee was the first speaker. He lamented
the corruptness of the lobby and empha
sized the importance of citizens and busi
ness men taking more nctlvc interest in pol
itics. Governor Ladd said a few words in
troducing ex-President Cleveland, and
President -Andrews was the last speaker.
Ex-President Cleveland said:
I never attend a gathering of business men
and recall the restless activity which they
represent, and the strain of brain which
they willingly bear for the sake of profit and
success, without wondering that they are
content to be so thoroughly
Engrossed in the Details
of their occupations as often to lead to
an habitual neglect of those affairs which,
though outside of their counting-houses, ex
changes and manufactories, have an inti
mate relation to their prosperity. No ono
can be oblivious of the fact tiiat matters of
legislation and the course of
egiMa
)Olicy
t governmental
the business in
policy aro so important to
which wo engage that our individual efforts
in its prosecution may be easily promoted or
thwarted by the conduct of those who make
and execute our laws.
Yet, in business circles, we find but few.
men who are willing to forego their ordinary
work to cngago in tho business of legisla
tion. Indeed, this unfortunate condition has
reached such a pass that our business men
think, and often speak, of politics as some
thing quite outside oi their intei est and
duty which, if not actually disreputable,
may well be loft for those who have a taste
for it.
An Activity That Is Dangerous.
lambyrto means unmindful of the spas
modic interference of business interests in
politics, spurred on by a selfish desire to be
especially and exclusively aided through
legislative action. Such interference, based
upon such motives, is more blamewoithy
than inactivity, because it amounts to an at
tempt to pervert governmental functions
which is worse than a neglect of political ie
sponsibility. But I speak of a heedlessness
of the duty, resting upon every one of us as
American citizens, to. participate thought-
tuny and intelligently in tnogeneraiconaucs
of the Go ernment. which is ours and which
has been left to our management.
It seems to me that privato and special
legislation, as it at present prevails, is an
evil chargeable to a great extent to the list-lcssue-s
and caresness of the "people.
There is a kind of legislation which, upon
its face and concededly, is private and spe
cial, and which engioses far too much of
the time and attention of our law makers.
Logrolling for Private Bills.
The people have a right to claim from
their representatives their best atten
tion to gicat subjects of legislation, in
which tho entire country is interested. This
is denied them if their representatives
tako their seats burdened with pri
vate bills in whicli their immed
iate neighbor are exclusively interested
and which thoy feel they must bo
diligent in advancing if they would secure
their continunnco in public life. They are
thus led bv the exigencies of their situation,
as they view it, not only to tho support of
private bills ol questionable propriety, but
to the neglect of a study and understanding
of the important questions involved in gen
eral legislation.
Nor does the pernicious effect of such
special and privato legislation stop here.
Tho importance of a"-ueccMful champion
ship of these private bills, measured by in
standard whicjf ought not for a moment to
be recognized, seems so vital to those linV
int. ht i, cliflwwt tlinfr. t.lintr nrn no()v
lcS to barter their votes for measures
as bad as, or worse than theirs
in order to secure the support of similarly
situated colleagues. Thu3 is inaugurated a
system called log-i oiling w hich comes fright
fully near actual legislative corruption; and
thus the people at large lose not only the at
tention to then affairs which is due to them,
but aie often nobctterthan robbed of money
in tho public Treasury.
The Government Not Paternal.
I have not mentioned the aspect of special
and prl ate legislation w hich seems to me
most pernicious. 1 refer to tho habit it en
genders among our people of looking to the
Government foraid in the accomplishment of
special and individual schemes, and the ex
pectation which it creates and fosters that
legislation be m oked for the securing of in
dividual advantages and unearned benefit.
The relations of our countrymen toward
the Government should be founded upon
their love for it as tho fountain head of their
national life: their faith in it as tho power
which preserves them a free people; their
reverence for it as the perfect work of the
highest patriotism; their confidence in its
justice and equality, and their pride in its
ownership and management. These should
furnish at all times sufficient motive for a
lively interest in public affairs, and
should supply abundant incentive to
popular watchfulness of legislative and ex
ecutive methods. In the light of these con
siderations no thoughtful American can
shut his eyes to the truth that when our
people regard their Government as the
source of individual benefit and favoritism,
and when their 'interest in it is measured by
the extent to which they hope to rcalizo
such benefit and favoritism, our popular
government is in dangerous hands and its
entile perversion is alarmingly imminent.
His Only Reference to TarlfC
These perils aro npt alone chargeable to
legislation which is confessedly special and
prhate. Measures of a general character
and apparently proposed foY tho public
good, frequently originate in selfish calcula
tions op so completely subsorvo in their de
tails selfish plans that they also tend toward
the fatal point of sordidncss among tho pco-
Sle and unjust paternalism in government,
o matterw hatplausiblepretextsmaybead-
anced for such legislation if it-has in it these
elements it ought to bo condemned. Neither
the cry of protection to American interests
nor pretended solicitude for public good
ought to succeed in concealing schemes to
taorthofew at tho expense of tho mauv;
nor should importanco to the 'country of
legislative action upon any subject divert
us from inquiry concerning the selfish
motives and purposes which may be hidden
behind the pioposalof such legislation.
It is quite time that our business men and
all American citizens bestir themselves for
the battle against tho evil tendencies of
private and special legislation, whatever
guise it may assume. At this time no more
important truth can be presented toourpeo
plo than that they should support their
Government In love and patriotism, and re
main unflselflshly content with the blessings
and advantages our free institutions were
established to bestow with justice and
equality upon every citizen throughout the
length and breadth of our land. ,

PROBLEMS OP ACTUAL WARFARE.
They Will Be Solved by Attacks on fair
Tork and Boston, and
A STUBBORN DEFENSE OP THOSE POETS
"Washington", June 27. For the first
time in the history of this country we are to
have a series of naval maneuvers, involving
the problems of actual warfare, as presented
in the attack on one of our great maritime
ports by a foreign naval force and its de
fense" by the American navy. For years
nast Great Britain, France, Italy and other
Europeon powers have annually practiced
similar maneuvers, sometimes, as in the case
of Great Britain, at heavy expense, but the
results have been so important as to justify
the expenditure.
In the case of the United States there has
been since the war no naval force adequate
to carry out maneuvers of any value. The
squadron of evolution was formed with such
'a purpose in view, but until recently it was
not sufficiently numerous to undertake the
solution of the larger naval war problems,
and its operations we're limited to great gun
practice and fleet evolutions. "With the re
cent additions to the naval list, however,
this obstacle has disappeared, and Secretary
Tracy has prepared a scheme to carry out
his views, which will be given effect at once.
Jnst Like Actual War.
The first move will be to attach the dyna
mite cruiser "Vesuvius and the torpedo boat
Cushing temporarily to the squadron of evo
lution, and orders to that end have already
been made out. Admiral Walker has also
been directed to prepare immediately a
programme of maneuvers for the summer
and early autumn, which will dispose of the
forces under his command to the best ad
vantage, and confer- practical training on
the officers and men, under conditions fol
lowing as closely as possible those of actual
warfare.
It is intended that the maneuvers shall
follow as soon as may be upon the prelimi
nary operations at Boston and New York,
to take place in July, the practical object of
which is to examine the conditions of the
maritime defense of New York, Long Island
Sound and the coast of New England. It is
expected that the double-turreted Mianto
ncmah, now at New York, will be com
pleted in time to take part ' in the
maneuvers. '
Torpedoes Will Bo Used. '
There will be but one torpedo boat en
gaged, so that a full demonstration of the
eflicacy of this class of offensive vessels can
not be thoroughly demonstrated, but ar
rangements have been made to supply her
with Fisk torpedoes, which will thus be
given their first trial in American naval,
operations, under conditions approaching
tjose of actual warfare.
The proposed evolutions, according to
Secretary Tracy's view, will be of large
practical results. The defects of the new
ships, if they haveany, will be fully revealed
and their actual capacity as offensive and
defensive forces will be demonstrated.' There
will also be opportunities in plenty for the
display of individual enterprise and tactical
skill on the part of the officers, and of dis
cipline and marksmanship on the part of the
men.
Among the results of the English naval
maneuvers were the revelations of startling
effects in systems of coaling, engine con
struction and marine designs bv notable
changes in the English Navy, and it is pre
sumed that valuable results will follow
Admiral "Walkers maneuvers.

TWO LADIES' TROUBLES.
They Think They Ought to Have S18.000
fo Being Put Offa Train How They
Were Treated by a Conductor Coming
From AUiqnlppa.
Attorney Charles F. McKenna yesterday
entered suit in Common Ple.as Court No. 3
against the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Bail
road Company on behalf of two ladies of
Allegheny, Mrs. E. p, Malone and Miss
Lizzie Hutchell, who each claim 9,000
damages, 518,000 in alL
The allegations are that on the 9th in
stant the plaintiffs bought round-trip tick
ets to Allequippa Grove, where a picnic was
held. All went well enough until at the
return, when the conductor, for some informality-,
objected to the tickets. "Whether
they had gotten on some train not devoted
to the picnic business or not is not set
forth, but whatever the cause, they allege
that five miles this side of Aliquippa the
conductor stopped-the train and they were
ejected, landed in the woods and exposed to
danger from the wild beasts of the forest,
mosquitos, etc. Not only were they exposed
to danger, but also ta the ridicule of a troop
of Italians, suppoably in the employ of the
railway company, . and to crown all
their misery there 'was a rainstorm
which spoiled their bonnets, and any
one who knows what this means
can have at least a faint idea of the agony
inflicted.
After walking some miles the ladies came
to another, station and boarded another
train", the conductor of 'which, having more
of the milk of human kindness in his com
position than the first one, allowed them to
conclude the journey on bis train, but this
did not smother ruffled tempers nor ruffled
features, nor ease the pain of mosquito bites
and the general discomfort suffered.

A habd-lcck story la told on a well-known

was a passenger on the Andes Friday night, and
the young man was so busy talking to her that he
did not bear the signal to "cantony" and before he
knew It he was on his way to Cincinnati. Here
was a pretty mess. He did sot hare a cent In his
pocket, and did not know what to do. He finally
mustered up courage and spoke to the captain who
agreed to land him at Freedom, which was done.
He spent the night on the steps of the railroad sta

freight train for the .city, where he arrived at a

IF A STOLEN SHHK
A Prepossessing Young Woman Has
a Night Hide on the Ohio.
FOUND ASLEEP WHILE FLOATIM.
Harrow Escape From Being Swamped by
Two Passing Steamers.
HER IDENTITY WRAPPED IN MTSTERT
There is something decidedly mysterious
about the night voyage of a woman in the
Ohio rier, rather weird, also. On Tuesday
evening J. "W. Brown, of Neville Island,
missed his skiff which he had left moored to
his float at Glenfield, opposite his home.
Me made inquiry on both sides of the river,
but could learn nothing. On Thursday Mr.
Brown got another skiffand floated leisurely
down the Ohio, making inquiries as he
went. At Sewickley he was informed that
the Shousetown ferryman was in possession
of a skiff labeled "Brown," and that the
owner by proving property and paying ?1
could have the craft
Mr. Brown investigated and found
sure enough that the skiff was his
and then set himself to look for
the thief. He found the men who had found
the skiff, two young residents of Shouse
town, who had occasion to cross the river in
the gray dawn of the morning. They dis
cerned a skiff floating apparently without
any cargo, either animate or inanimate, but
on investigation they stirred up an irate
female who fought them off like the river
piratess she seems to have been. They, how
ever, being semi-water dogs, relatives of the
ferryman, easily got away with her and took
hetto Shousetown.
Found Sleeping in the Skiff.
The woman was sound asleep when found,
and somewhat difficult to awaken. The oars
were in custody just as Mr. Brown had left
them, which made it seem probable that the
woman had simply shoved her craft into the
stream, lain down, and went .away floating
like Moses in the bullmshes.
The skiff secured, Mr. Brown set out to
find the thief, but in this he only succeeded
far enough to get her description. She was
reported to be rather prepossessing in ap
pearance, with dark brown hiir, tolerably
well dressed, with the exception that she
had no bonnet, having probably lost it dur
ing her trip. She wore eyeglasses," -was
heavy set, and somewhere between 19 and
21 years of age.
The young men who captured her thought
she was demented, but they could neither
learn her name nor her history. She said
she wanted to take a trip down the river,
and thought this a pleasant way of accom
plishing it. The fact of having taken a skiff
without leave she "evidently regarded as a
small matter, scarce worth speaking about.
She said she had been sojourning in Glen
field, and got tired of the place.
The woman wandered about Shousetown
several hours, complaining that she had
been robbed by her captors, but finally she
bought a ticket and left for this city on the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Eailway, since
which time trace of her has been lost.
' A Perilous Night Voyage.
Her trip through the night was a rather
perilous one, considering the fact that two
steamboats had met her somewhere on the
way, and the Ohio, "glorious though it be
in beauty," is somewhat treacherous and
liable to shipwreck people who are not in
full possession of their craft and senses at
the same time.
Mr. Brown was fortunate eupngh to des
cry a towboat coming up the river, and be
ing an ex-mariner himself, had- no trouble
to get the crew to load himself and skiff
and brirrtfhim back home. He then pros
ecuted his inquiries for the missing woman,
but found no one who could give him any
pointers. It was suggeseed that she might
have escaped from Dixmont, but the author
ities there say no one has been missed
lately. It appears that the woman deported
herself with propriety on the train and con
sequently attracted no attention.
APPBOACBTHG THE WIND-UP.
The Long Drawn-Oat Penn Bank Case Com
ing to a Climax.
The argument in the Penn Bank case was
continued for a short time yesterday morn
ing before Judges Ewing and "White. At
torney T. C. Lazear spoke in behalf of
Janfes Hare and Thomas Severance, two of
the directors. He maintained that they
were clear of any responsibility for the
break; It had been charged that they had
withdrawn their deposits from the bank and
should be charged with the amounts. In
the cac of Mr. Hare, Mr. Lazear said, he
had given the bank his individual Dotes to
cover what he drew out, and had paid the
notes which were in excess of the deposits.
As to Mr. Severance he had drawn ont his
money knowing nothing of the complica
tions or trouble. It was merely an ordi
nary business transaction, and he should
not be held for the amount any more than
for what he might have drawn out a year or
more before.
"When Mr. Lazear had finished the case
was continued until to-morrow morning at
10:30 S'clock, when it will go on to a finish.
