Clerk if the First National Bank of Balti
more Visits the B , rovince.
John D. Liste, discount clerk in the
First National bank of Baltimore, failed
to put in appearance on Saturday last
while an investigation of the accounts of
the bank was proceeding by the direc
tors. It is now said, that he is a default
er to the amount of about eighty thou
sand dollars, though the investigation is
not complete. The amount of cash
which disappeared with him was $3,500,
and he is said to have deceived the na
tional bank examiner by substituting
forged notes which he des’.rojed as soon
as the examination was completed. Liste
left his home, about twenty miles from
the city, Saturday morning, since which
time he has not been seen by hist family,
nor by the detectives who are looking for
him.
UNION MEN TO BE DROPPED.
Knicbta ot Labor Assemblies Ordered to
Oust Trades-1 niotiists.
A sensation has been created among the
Knights cl Labor of Indianapolis Ind.,
by the receipt of an order, purporting to
have come from the general executive
board, to the effect that all cigarmakers
belonging to the international union must
dropped from membership in local
and district assemblies. This is thought
to be the first step toward carrying out
the programme adopted at Richmond by
the general assembly, which struck a blow
at all trades-unions. The typographers
moulders here are very indignant, and
feel the blow quite as severely as tha
cigarmakers.

man of Americus, was working in a cut

He was terribly crushed before he could
be extricated, and his life is in danger.
A man living in Haralson county went
■ home one night about ten o'clock, while
> about three sheets in the wind, and feast
ed upon a buzzard, which his good wife
had cooked for the oil that was in the
fowl. It is said that the man ate all of
this bird, thinking it was a chicken, and
when he was told of what he feasted up
on, he then and there “swore off” and
went to preaching.
The season for woods fires lias arrived,
and the woods are being “burned off”
throughout the piney woods, or wire
grass region. The open pine woods are
burned off annually for the benefit of the
sheep and cattle that have to subsist up
on what they gather from nature’s plant-
I ing. After the wire grass, which gets
hard with half a year’s growth, has been
; burned off to the surface a new and ten
der growth springs up from the roots mid
stubble, making the best of grazing for
sheep and cattle. A good portion of the
woods on the east side of Flint river has
already been burned.
i Opposite the McAfee house, and just
in front of Charlie Hill’s barber shop, in
Smithville, in the road where vehicles
pass, a mysterious and well rounded well
can be seen as the result of the sudden
and unexpected caving in of the earth
which has hitherto kept its locality a se
cret. The ground gave way as a heavy
loaded wagon passed over it the other
day, and a well with 10 feet of water and
20 feet in depth from the top to the bot
tom can now be seen there. Various
speculations as to the origin of the well
were hazarded by the crowd which
quickly collected around it, bnt nothing
definite iiHcnown about it, though it is
supposed to be a well made by the rail
! road men when the Central was being
built.
The legal tender silver mine, in Mur
ray, which so much excitement was made
i about some years ago, is being operated
i upon again, and a better quality of ore is
i now being gotten out than ever before.
Considerable excitement is growing out
of the new find. The mine is in Cohutta
' mountain, about six miles from Spring
. Flace. Air, Mcllan, who owns a tract
■ of land near the mine, has hud an option
taken on his land for $4,000. There is
i millions of wealth in Old Cohutta which
only needs operating on to bring it to the
| eyes of the capitalists. Captain W. G.
i Tilton’s fine talc mine, four mile- from
| Spring Place, is shipping tons of talc
i daily. There is not a day passing but
| what wagons unload the talc in the crude
I state at the Dalton depot for eastern

in Murray county that are now known ia

ACROSS THE WATERS.
Excitement in the London Stock Exchange— \
Panic in London and I’aria.
There was intense excitement on the
stock exchange all Thursday afternoon,
and at the close of the market a panicky
I feeling prevailed. The unfavorable state
I of the market was due chiefly to reports ,
I of heavy failures on the Paris bourse and |
1 to a rumor that a large banking institu- |
tion in Berlin had collapsed.
Panic on the stock exchange set in
1 with the greatest force in the afternoon.
■ Earlier in the day English buying met
I the continental rush to sell, but later
alarm seized English operators, and the ;
torrent of sellers became so great that ‘
: dealers refused to make prices, 'rhe ;
! wildest rumors were <credited, and the j
j best home and foreign tecuricties were •
largely sold. Business continued active
in the street until “petite-bourse” quota- 1
tions were received, which showed the i
, panic was intensifying on the continent
! and caused depression and anxiety. At
I the close the reckless selling of railroad
securities was partially checked by New
; York buying, besides England, Berlin
j and Paris threw large masses of stock on
the market.
AT PARIS.
At Paris three per cent rentes declined
and were quoted at 76 francs, a fall of 2
francs and 45 centimes from the closing
I quotations of the day previous.
i Bourse ojiened depressed. Besides po- I
litical rumors and general financial mis
' trust, the suspension of all credit made
i the transaction of business almost an ini-
I possibility. An opinion prevails that un
i less the banks aaid great capitalists come
‘ to the relief of the market, disastrous {
I failures are inevitable.
IRISH ITEMS.
The Limerick municipal council has
| refused to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee,
on t-he ground that the Queen lias visited
1 Ireland only twice and has never assisted
I Irish charities.
Micheal Davitt and his wife arrived at
Dublin Thursday, and were enthusiastic
ally greeted. They were escorted to their
hotel by a torch-light procession ami
bands of music.
THE SITUATION AT MASSOWAIL
The Republique Fiancaise of Paris,
i publishes a dispatch from the Suez, which
' states that in the battles between the
Abyssinians and Italians, near Massowah,
j .January 25th and 26th, the Abys-inians
i captured all the guns possessed by the
I Italians. It also says that of 148 Italians
j who were engaged in the fights, not more
than fifty escaped. The dispatch adds j
that the Italians have evacuated all their I
advanced positions, and that the Abyss- '
inians have already attacked and curried
the first line of Italian entrenchments
around Massowah The latter success, it
is stated, was achieved by the Abyesin
ians on the 27th of January, the day after I
the destruction of the Italian forces in i
the field, and the latest intelligence re- |
ceived indicated that it was doubtful |
whether the Italians would be able to I
hold out at Massowah until the arrival of i
reinforcements.
