GONE TO CANADA. a THE RALEIGH DEFALCATION. Loss Supposed to be About $200,000. r [Special to the Asheville CITIZEN.] RALEIGH, March 27, 8 p. M.-President Charles E. Cross and Cashier Sam'l C. White of the State National Bank of this city have absconded S with a very large sum of the Bank's funds They fled Saturday evening and it is almost certain they went to Canada by way of Greensboro and Richmond. They mentioned to several parties that they were going to Chapel Hill where White had a sick relative. They took with them the colored janitor of the bank and $42,000 in cash, $20,000 of which they had received only Friday night. Besides this they had hypothecated large sums of the Bank's securities in New York. It is believed generally that the defalcation amounts to $200,000. A director said to night he believed it would be at least two hundred thousand dollars. Bank Examiner Tate will be here in the morning by order of the Comptroller of Currency. Until he makes examination nothing definite can be known as to the Bank's loss. There was 110 run on other banks to-day and perfect confiderce is felt in them in all respects. The absconding president is a young man, from Gates county and was for years clerk in the office of the State Aaditor. He had been president of the bank two years. White had been cashier nearly 20 years and was widely known. He was a very prominent member of the Edenton Street Methodist Church and a teacher in its Sunday school. Cross was a member of the Baptist Church. The scene here to-day has been unparalleled in the city's history. Many people are "hit hard" by the defalcation. The State fortunately had only a small sum on deposit, F.A.O. about $14,000.

drawn close, and the interior of the bank was invisible, VERY CONSERVATIVE. The people of Baleigh are evidently very conservative. There were no attempts at a run on any of the other excellent sound banks. At these business flowed in the usual channels ; more deposits than usual were received at each of these, and less money was paid out. A few people went to the Savings Bank to withdraw deposits, but when they found their checks would be promptly cashed they said they did not want the money in that case. President E. G. Reade, of the National Bank of Raleigh, said : "The bank is not in jeopardy bv reason of the failure of the State National. The bank is in excellent condition. The stock is worth a premium." W. E. Anderson, president of the Citizens National Bank, said : "This bank is in a perfectly safe condition. We have out from $10,000 to $11,000 of the State Bank's checks on New York, which may or may not be paid. If they are not paid they can be charged off without detriment to this bank." Cashier J. G. Brown, of the Citizens National, said: "This morning quite a number of our depositors who do not usually appear so early came in and made deposits. Some made offers of aid, one saying he would, if necessary, go to New York and bring back $50,000 for the bank. His kind offer was declined with thanks, and he was told the bank needed no assistance whatever. The feeling on the part of all depositors is perfectly good."

voter. THE New York "Weekly Post," in reply to a letter from a subscriber charging it with inconsistency in supporting Mr. Cleveland on a tariff issue, in spite of his failure to fulfil all his civil-service reform promises -the principal basis on which the "Post" supported his first candidacy -thus defines its position: "If we saw the smallest chance of Cleveland's being opposed by any one who would carry out or come anywhere near carrying out the pledges Cleveland made in 1884, we should not be prevented by any concern for tariff from supporting him, because we know well that tariff reform is not with n the President's reach, while civil-service, reform is. But We see no prospect of anything of the kind. In the present condition of the Republican party we see no possibility of it. If the Republican Convention nominates a fit man it will be with the intention of 'lenifing' him: if it nominates a bad one, it will be with the view of using his clothes to disguise the wellknown features of James G. Blaine." It IS said the that State National Bank of Raleigh will probably be able to pay 60 or 70 per cent. On Saturday Receiver Dowd sent blank checks to the Compiroller of the currency for the first dividend, which is 20 per cent. The checks are to be signed by the Comptroller and returned when they will be immediately distributed to the creditors. IN the matter of public road making Mecklenburg county is taking the lead of all other counties They go at it in the right way.

The day of steephills, deepruts and rough roads in Meeklenburg is fast disappearing.

# RALEIGH'S BUDGET. # THE CASE OF CROSS AND WHITE, THE BANK-WRECKERS. Railroad Matters-Crime Among the Negroes Increasing-The People of Kinston Stirred Up. [Special telegram to the Dispatch.] RALEIGH, N. C., October 4.-The case of Cross and White, ex-president and cashier of the wrecked State National Bank of Raleigh, is to be argued before the United States Supreme Court on the 22d instant. In an interview to-day with Walter R. Henry, counsel for Cross and White, it was learned that he will apply for a writ of certiorari in the hope of getting a continuance of the case to the next term. He is hopeful of success in this. He relies upon the strength of his case, but says he has discovered now an important point. The Weekly Signal, which was the organ of the Republican party in the last campaign and which suspended publication some months ago, will reappear next week. RAILROAD MATTERS. The location of the line for a railway from Greensboro' to Roxboro, and thence to Blue-wing copper-mines, in Granville county, has begun. A grown son of Guilford Moore, of Edgecome county, while drawing a bucket of water yesterday, fell into the well and was drowned. Crime among negroes appears to be increasing. News was received to-day of a homicide in Pitt county by a negro who killed a colored section-hand who had gone to his house and enticed his wife away. The husband went after her and induced her to return. As they started home the section-hand, armed with a knife, assaulted the husband. Both fell into a ditch, the section-hand at the bottom. The husband took away the knife and stabbed him to death, then left, leaving the knife driven to the hilt in the man's breast.
