MANY Deplorable Effect of Bank Cashier Figgatt’s Defalcation. ‘The defalcation of Cashier C. M. Figgatt has practically put out of éxistence the Bank of Lexington, Va., which was the only financial agent of the entire commun- ity. Almost every one, to the number of over twenty thousand people, is a victim of this financial collapse. ‘The following statement shows the con- dition of the bank as near as the examina- tion, made somewhat hurriedly, indicates: Liabilities, balance due depositors and banks, $198,402.42. Assets—Cash on hand, $6,573.12; cash tickets, value, $1,129.20; cor- poration bonds, $20,500; Lexington Manu- facturing Company bonds,estimated, $1,04 pills and notes, estimated value, $100, real estate and fixtures, $4,000. Total, $133,- fe Virginia Military Institute had near- ly twenty thousand dollars deposited in the bank, while the Washington and Lee Uni- versity’s account was slightly overdrawn. ‘All the professors of the institutions were depositors, and are practically without a dollar. ‘All the merchants were heavy depositors, and the blow to business in general is keenly felt. No money is to be had. A prominent director of the bank stated that a deposit of $4,000, made the evening be- fore the departure of Mr. Figgatt, is miss- ing, and no evidence of the same being credited can be found. The Proposed Pacitic Cable. The analysis which was made by Sand- ford Fleming of Ontario of tenders re- ceived for the construction of the Pacific cable has been sent to the different colonial governments. For route No. 1, which seems to be the one which will have to be adopt- ed in the event of arrangements falling through with Hawaii for a landing place on the Hawaiian archipelago, the lowest offer, including maintenance for three years, is £1,517,000. This is for a speed ca- pacity of twelve words per minute. The route in question is entirely within British territory, and would run from Vancouver Island to Fanning Island, Fiji, Norfolk Island, with branches from’ Norfolk Island to New Zealand and New South Wales. For the adjustment of details, Mr. Fleming suggests that @ joint commission be ap- pointed to assemble in London, consisting of three commissioners—one for the im- perial government; one to represent Cana- da, and one to act for Australia and New Zealand, conjointly. see Reports Not Exaggerated. Rev. Henry A. Jessup, who for the past twenty years has been stationed at Bay- reut, Syria, as a missionary of the Presby- terian church, in discussing the reported cutrages upon the Armenians said in Pitts- burg recently: “There is no exaggeration in the reports of the outrages published in the newspapers of this country. The sav- agery and murderous character of the Kurds knows no bounds, but so far the Christian church has not been able to af- ford the Armenians much relief. The work of the investigating commission nfay have a good effect. I most blame the indiifer- ence and inability of the sultan to properly rule his subjects. ——— entertaining a Princess. San Francisco is entertaining a live princess. She comes out of the wide Pa- cific—her real home is an island in the South seas. The Princess Ninito is a scion of the family of Pomare, ruler in Tahiti for nearly two hundred years. She is going to France, of which country her royal family is now a pensioner. cos Mexicans in Texas Schools. A race war that is attracting much at- tention in southwest Texas is in progress ut Uvalde, the county seat of Uvalde coun- ty, Texas, between the white and Mexican patrons of the public schools. A mass meeting of the white citizens was held re- cently and a united protest made against the mixture of the two races.

Ww Body of a Missing Young Man Found in the Canal. The body of a man about twenty-five years of age was found yesterday beneath the ice of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal at its upper end. It was identified as that of Grant Zufall, who had been missing since December 22 last. It is supposed that the man met his death accidentally, fall- ing from a high bank above the scene of the finding. On the body of the drowned man’ were found a handsome watch and valuable ring. The existence of these al- most assure all that the death was not intentional and the outcome of robbery. The father, of Zufall, who is a very well- to-do many has resorted to every means since the disappearance to discover thé whereabouts of his son. His home had been a happy one, and temporary dementia was the only cause that could be assigned for the disappearance, if voluntary. The cold weather had not completely wrecked the body. It was preserved remarkably well for one that-had been devoid of life for nearly sixty days. It was discovered by two boys while skating. ‘The Rev. Anna Shaw spoke last night at the Dumbarton Avenue Church on “The Merchandise of Souls.” She held the con- ie end logic. Charles Shogmaker of Tenleytow! was buried this afternoon.

Chewning, the man who, a number of months ago, was found in the Smith- sonian grounds, apparently dying from hunger and who did not get the $700 con- tributed for him because of the sympathy created by his pitiful story, has again been heard from. As heretofore printed in The Star he was injured by a railroad train on Maryland avenue sometime ago, but none of the Washington hospitals seem- ed to be good enough for him. He left Garfield last Sunday because he had be- come dissatisfied and a day in the alms- house hospital convinced him that that was not the proper place for him, and he left. there. Nothing more was heard of him until Friday, when Sanitary Officer Frank received a letter from him. He is now stopping at Brick Haven, a place just below Alexander Island, and he wants the sanitary officer to furnish him with a ticket to the home of his mother at Inter- mont, Giles county, Va., where, he says, he knows he will be well cared for. Before leaving here he borrowed a pair of crutches from some one and these, he says, he will return. As he is in Virginia his reauest will be ignored and Sanitary Officer Frank thinks that the man had better ask the Virginia authorities for favors,as he belongs in that state. ——— Map Making. An interesting address was delivered Fri- y night by Prof. Walcott, the director of the geological survey, before the members of the Men’s Society of the Church of the Covenant. His subject was “The mapping of the United States,” and it was illustrat- ed by stereopticon views, showing the de- velopment of map making. Some of the earlier maps of North America, as well as those of more modern days, were described. On this occasion, which\ was the regular menthly meeting of the society, the mem- bers were allowed to invite ladies, and a number were interested listeners. The speaker is a member of the society. Mr. William E. Curtis, the president of the society, presided, and at the close of the address refreshments were served. seeesge Honored by Army Officers.

D., gave an entertainment the evening of the 14th in honor of Col. and Mrs. McLaughlin, whose long services at the Standing Rock Indian agency and at the Devil's Lake reservation brought theif into close relations with the army officers.

Brenking the Channel Puts Some Skaters in an Awkward Position —Other Short Notes. Yesterday was a typical winter Sunday in this city, and in consequence the con- gregations in the various churches were larger than usual. Rev. Thoron H. Rice of the First Presbyterian Church preached in Washington, and his pulpit was filled by the Rev. James P. Smith of that city. Rev. Wm. H. McAllister of the Methodist Episcopal Church delivered@a@n address be- fore the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion in ‘Washington yesterday afternoon, but filled his pulpit in this city at both the morning and evening services. The other churches all had interesting sermons by the resident rectors. Grace Church was packed to the doors at the service last night, the occasion being a special sermon by the rector to the Knights of Pythias of this All three of the lodges met at Pyth- ian Hall, on North Pitt street, and marched to the church in a body. The sermon was particularly interesting and entertaining, and was much enjoyed by those who heard it. The day was a quiet one, and no ar- rests were made by the police. Caught Over the River. For several days past a large number of skaters have been indulging in this fasci- nating pastime on the Potomac, which has been frozen stiff from shore to shore, and yesterday afternoon quite a party went down to enjoy the sport. Several of the skaters had gone over to the Maryland shore, and before they could realize it the Norfolk boat, which left Norfotk on Saturday morning, passed by, thus leaving them cut off from this city. They had to skate up to the transfer slip at Shepherd’s and come over on the tug Brewerton. A Severe Fall. William Arrington while walking on Royal street yesterday morning slipped on the ice and fell, badly cutting his hand, which ‘bled profusely. He went to the office of Dr. T. M. Jones, on the corner of "Prince and Pitt streets, leaving a trail of blood behind him. The injured member was carefully dressed by Dr. Jones, and teday Mr. Arrington is somewhat better. Owing to the fact that many of the citi- zens have their hydrants running, the side- walks in numerous places are covered with ice, and these accidents are necessarily a frequent occurrence. Died Yesterday. Mr. George T. Price, the well-known and pepular postman, died at his home on Fairfax street yesterday, after a linger- ing illness, much to the regret of his many friends in this city and elsewhere. Mr. Price bad always taken an active part in the democratic politics of this city, and was an active and efficient worker. He was a young man, whom to know was but to like, and he will be missed from the community in more ways than one. His funeral will take place on Wednesday afterncon next at 3 o'clock. Charter Granted. In the corporation court on Saturday Judge J. K. M. Norton granted a charter to the J. T. McIntyre Company, the ob- jects of which are to act as. agents, brokers and representatives in soliciting and acquiring life insurance business. The capital stock is to be $60,000, and the prin- cipal office is to be in this city, with J. T. Callahan as agent. W. J. Palmer of Wash- ington is president. For the Poor. Prof. E. D. Andrews, the-famous horse trainer, will give an entertainment at Armory Hall tonight for the benefit of the destitute and needy poor of this city. The amount received will be turned over to Mayor Strauss for distribution through the police force. The program will con. sist of breaking in of several very vicious and dangerous horses, and will be well worth seeing, besides being a splendid op- portunity to contribute to-the relief of the many suffering poor people. The price of admission has been placed at 25 cents, so as to be in reach of all, and the hall should be packed for this worthy object. Notes. “Sank,” the famous Columbia dog, was very nearly killed by one of the horses of the company striking him with his front feet yesterday. Miss Rosa L. Griffith and Walter L. Padgett announced on Saturday that they oe married in Baltimore on October 2, 04. The colored relief committee is busily at work. They relieved 193 families on Satur- day. Mayor Strauss on Saturday signed the ordinance passed by the city council at the last meeting permitting the Baltimore and Ohio: Railroad Company to close the strand between Duke and Wolfe streets. Mrs. J. G. Cockey is visiting friends in Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Daingerfield left today for Florida, where they will spend a few weeks. The Norfolk boat which left Washington yesterday afternoon had to return to Washington after reaching Marshall Hall. = The Champion Company. D company is the best-drilled organiza- tion of the Sfth battalion, District of Co- lumbia National Guard. So popular opinion has said, and so a board of judges, comprising Capt. Charles S. Domer of the champion National Fencibles, chairman, Capt. Harry Walsh of the Emmet Guard and Capt. W. E. Horton of the brigade staff, have declared, and they ought to know. The matter was formally decided last Friday in the Center Market Armory drill hall, when was held the first annual competitive drill of the battalion, an event for which much preparation had been made, and to which was attached more than ordinary interest. Before the even- ing had passed Corporal James Sergeant had earned the title of best-drilled man in the three companies, and with it a hand- some gold medal. Some months since Major Suess and his staff decided to hold an annual com- pany competitive drill, hoping in that way to largely increase the proficiency of the men in drill and discipline. As a trophy the staff donated a costly cup, to become the property of the company winning it twice. A medal for the best-driiled man was furnished by First Lieut. James L. Mock, the adjutant of the battalion. Im- mediately after the announcement of the proposed drill the companies began work in earnest, each drilling several evenings weekly, until last night, when the strifé occurred. The drill took place Friday night and resulted as stated. oe AntieToxine.

Stop that Cough! It may lead to serious conse- quences. Cough remedies will not do it, because it means more than a simple cold. Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites will do it, and at the same time will build up and fortify the system against further attacks. We are putting up a 50-cent size for just these local diffi- culties, For ordinary Coughs and Colds that quantity will doubtless cure. If it is deep- seated it may require more. , Don't be persuaded to accept a substitute! Scott & Bowne, N.Y, All Druggists. 50c. and $f. THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox. Wheless agt.

It had been expected to occupy the largest apartment in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but when the meeting was assembled it was found that a small room would hold them. When all were inside the door was carefully locked, and it was found just thirteen invited guests were present, and with Mr. Platt and his son Frank the total was fifteen.
