Washington, Oct. 21.—Acting comptroller of the currency Kane received a message over the long distance telephone, at midnight last night from Pittsburg, stating that the Federal National Bank, of that city, would not open for business this morning. Immediately he appointed National Bank Examiner John B. Cunningham, receiver. The bank was established Nov. 16. 1901, with a capital of two million dollars.

New York, Oct. 21.—John Alexander Dowle, who calls himself "Elijah III.," the restorer, was again hissed by his audience in Madison Square Garden last night. He had to share the honors of his entertainment, however, with Mrs. Carrie Nation. Dowle caused one man's arrest on the charge of disturbing a religious meeting. "I'm 'Elijah the Restorer,'" shouted Dowle, "and I'll throw you out of here If you don't shut your mouth." Marshfleld, Ore., Oct. 21.—Tiie steamer South Portland, which sailed from Portland, Ore., last Sunday loaded with wheat for San Francisco, struck on Blanco reef during a heavy fog.

No man can be loaded on to the office because he can't make a livlnj? on the outside." At leaBt one-half the audience left at the end of the first hour, many protesting .indignantly at the language with which Dowie had entertained them. At times he did tilings which led to expressions of doubt as to his sanity. He had announced that he would answer the criticisms of Dr.-James Buckley, but during his discourse of three hours he spent much time in controversies with young men in the front seats. The survivors of the ill fated steainei reached Tort Crnnford in a pitiable condition from exposure to the cold wind and waves. They have little hope for the remainder of the passengers and crew. "Now, Mrs. Nation, sit down, please. I have a profound respect for your spirit toward the saloons, but I object to your methods. Now please sit down, Mrs. Nation; please sit dowV" Pittsburg, Oct. 21.—According to financial interests, the Federal National bank had been checked on very heavily during the pagt two weeks by country hanks and bankers. The amount is not stated, but it is estimated at over a million and a half. Among the bankers It is believed the assets will be more than sufficient to pay dollar for dollar. At midnight last night the directors discovered, after a careful canvass ot local banks and bankers, that it would be unable to get assistance and asked the comptroller of the currency to appoint a receiver. The request was quickly complied with and the doors were closed this morning. He concluded by saying that there are more apples on the same tree, but that they would not be shaken Into the laps of those who had not earned them. The South Portland struck bow oh while going at a speed of about seveir knots. Immediately she began to settle astern and in a minute 01° two slid oil the reef and began to sink. Stegmaier Brewing Co Wilkcsbarrc, Pa. The saloon smasher, still with a smile, finally gave it up for a bad job and reseated herself, while the crowd cheered her. PEOPLE S STORE. "Get out of New York!" hooted several hundred persons as Dowie drove away from thfc Garden In his brougham. Mrs. Nation at that time was crossing Madison square, with at least 2,500 interested spectators trailing behind her. "Now, put all that in your papers," snarled Dowie, "you hungry, filthy curs." He then picked out a reporter from the west and, pointing his finger at him, shouted: "Ah, and so some of us old men are marrying young wives, eh? Ah, ail!" The crowd directed a howl of indignation at the "prophet." Captain Mclntyre, seeing that there was no hope of saving the ship, speedily had the boats lowered. One of the boats that got away from the ship's side loaded with part of the crew and some of the passengers was capsized as soon as it cleared the side and when last seen was floating away in the fog without a soul aboard. Nine Hundred Shots a Minute. 15 South Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS the CHEAPEST Cleveland, O., Oct. 21. — Lieutenant Joseph H. ltohrbacker, engineer of ordnance, detailed by the United States navy, witnessed a firing exhibition of the McGlean machine guns for musket ammunition and a machine gun for one pounder ammunition; also a long recoil test of the United States fourteen pounder, high power gun on the Erie street pier here. A seven millimeter machine gun showed a speed of lire of about 000 shots a minute. No black gowns or surplices were worn by the Zion choir and "restoration host" during the processional. All wore Zion sashes, while the "prophet" and his son appeared in evening dress. EVANS BROS. HP-PRICES And thus the exhibition went 011 for a half hour longer, and just before the end of it Mrs. Nation sprang to her feet again. "Dr. Dowie!" she shouted, but again the "prophet" prevailed on her to desist, and she sat down again. The captain's boat, with about eighteen aboard, succeeded in clearing, but was also capsized, and only seven were able to get back to the boat The stock of the bank has been subjected to sharp declines on the Pittsburg exchange this week. On Monday the stock sold down from 115 to 85, but was forced up again to 101. All day yesterday It sagged and the closing quotations were 80 bid and 85 asked, a number of transactions having been made at 80. The ostensible subject of Dowie's discourse was a reply to an article written by Itev. James M. Buckley of the Methodist Episcopal church which appeared a year ago in a New York magazine in which the overseer and owner of the city of Zion and all of its people was analyzed and dissected. As a matter of fact, Dowie simply used the subject upon which to hang a running fire ot invective and abuse of various New York and Chicago ministers and the reporters, the latter receiving threefourths of the attention of the speaker. Epithets Too Vile For Publication. The Captain's 8tory, Mr. Dowie's chief aids, his wife and his sou, are about to leave him for a trip abroad. They will start on Thursday from this city, taking the steamer Saxouian on Saturday from Boston. They will go first to England and then to Australia, where Mrs. Dowie's family still lives. They do not expect to return to the United States until next July. Dowie's Aids to Lea«e Him. Captain Mclntyre was disinclined to talk for publication aB to what course the ship was traveling or whether she was off her course when she ran on Blanco reef. He said: "We had been running in a blinding fog ever since we left the Columbia river, and it was very thick when we struck. You could not see any distance.

The public would like to see a parade of the local firemen, and the business men of the city favor the idea, but the decision is in tho hands of the firemen themselves. In expressive slang, "It is up to the firemen." Several objections have been raised by certain firemen to a fireman's day, the principal ones being that the season is too far advanced, that it is not practicable now'to Invite companies from a distance, and that the local companies alone would not make a turnout worth the while. —Joint Meeting Called. The bank is a United States depository and reported on hand Sept. 9 $50,000 of United States deposits. .131 SHOES The closing of the bank had apparently but little effect on the local stock exchange.

Home other articles in our St. Petersburg, Oct. 21.—The Novoe Vremya today protests against American interference in the affairs of the old world, which, it says, has been one ol' the features of the 20th century. The paper says: "The cause of this is the extraordinary development of their trade, for which they have to find a market outside their own frontier." Continuing, the paper arraigns the American Protestant missionaries who it says, formerly confined their energies to expounding the Gospel at their own risk. Now, sheltering under American diplomacy, they are conducting a propaganda strongly tinged with political color.

The tank has remained covered. Dowie has received some requests for prayers for afllicted ones, but no announcement has been made of any healing in New York. Among the requests have been several from the less robust members of the Zion restoration host. Members of the recently reorganize!

Her brother, a prominent citizen of Laconia, is very indignant, and has retained a lawyer to get the money hack and have a petition filed to have a guardian appointed over Mrs. Jewell. Mr. Dowie had what he called a heart to heart talk with representatives of New York newspapers yesterday in a room of the Fifth Avenue hotel. He told them what a big man he wus, how he has lots of money and how all the newspapers could increase circulation by saying a good word for Dowle. His harangue was disjointed and disconnected. The main topic was himself, and at no time has the man's egotism been more npparent. LL EVANS BROS The best oysters are at Messick's.

Somehow or other the discourse proved to be another attack on the "wicked" press. Dowie claims that over 100,000 homes have been visited with the message from Zion, but didn't further add that many of h's host, in sick condition, had been taken in at many homes and properly fed, neither did he tell of 40 workers who became sick and exhausted from house-to-house labors.
