It was the eighth annual dinner of the Pennsylvania society. It was a notable welcome that the secretary of state received from the Pennsylvanlans and their guests and it was a notable speech that Mr. Root made in response to this welcome. Washington, Dec. 13.—The Farmi ers and Drovers' National bank, of Waynesburg, Pa., has been closed by direction of the comptroller of thq currency, and National Bank Examiner John Cunningham has been ap-t pointed receiver. ' The assets and liabilities are $2,367,474. The young man was at once removed to the hospital, where it was found that he caught the entire charge in the face, lacerating the cornea of both his eyes, crushing the nasal organ, besides badly lacerating his face and hands. The physicians stated last evening that I he sight of both eyes was lost.— the appropriations committee in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation hill: A statement issued by the comptroller says that the bank has been in an unsatisfactory condition for some time and that its lawful money reserve has been continuously deficient, notwithstanding repeated admonitions and an official notice to make it good. The statement says: "No money appropriated in this act shall he used in connection with printing documents authorized by law 01 ordered by congress or either branch thereof unless the same shall conform to ihe orthography recognized and used by generally accepted dictionaries of the ICugiisli language." Mr. Root devoted all of his remarks to a defense of the centralization policy of the government and to discussing the future of the States of The eliiff danger ot disorders in Paris lies in the possible invasion of churches by rurtiann and free thinkers. Reserves of gendarmes will be stationed at various points throughout the city to guard against trouble. llazleton Standard Let Hr. Moon care for your teeth the Union Mr. Root's address was listened to with almost perfect stillness until the close, when there was a great Outburst of applause. It was the topic of much discussion among the diners —so much, in fact, that it was very hard for the toastmaster to restore quiet for the speakers. SPECIAL NOTICES. "Its liabilities for rediscounts have largely exceeded the amount of Its capital stock, in violation of law and in disregard of the comptroller's re-' peatod instructions to reduce sucii liabilities to lawful limits. The examiner has discovered that these rediscounts are several hundred thousand dollars greater than the amount shown by the books and reports to the comptroller. The efforts made by certain members of the chamber of deputies and other disinterested persons to insure a continuation of services in churches in spite of the papal veto by Inducing Catholic laymen in each parish to make the forbidden declaration have not met with much success.
