Despite denials it is said that cholera exists in Naples, the average daily deaths, it is said, being 17. John G. Hess,a farmer aged 75 years, hanged himself at Bonhamtown, N. J., on Friday. His body was discovered last evening. There was a slight earthquake shock at San Francisco, at half-past one o'clock yesterday morning. No damage was done. Many of the savings banks in the North and East are taking advantage of the 30 and 60 days' notice allowed them for paying deposits. One thousand unemployed men reached Chicago yesterday on freight trains over the various western railroads running into the city. The San Francisco Call asserts that large quantities of rifles and cartridges have been smuggled to Honolulu and that evo rything points to a plot on the part of the royalists on the islands. Bridgett Hughes was found dead at her home in Brooklyn to-day, and she is believed to have been murdered. Peter Hughes, her husband, has been arrested on suspicion of being the murderer. Mis. Lucille Rodney, accompanied by her husband and W. W. Holliday, arrived in Chicago yesterday from Galveston, Tex., having walked the entire distance. The trip was made for a wager of $5,000. A concession has been granted by the Mexican government to a San Francisco company for the purpose of colonizing Americans in the State of Vera Cruz and Hilderga on the rich coffee and agricultural lands. Deputy Marshals Porck, Bruner and Posey had a battle with four outlaws a few miles west of Vinita, I. T., Saturday evening, in which one of the outlaws was killed and another severely wounded and captured. During last night's severe wind, rain and thunder storm at Nashville, Tenn., the building containing the cyclorama of the Battle of Mission Ridge gave way before it and is a complete wreck. If the picture is ruined the loss will be $20,0 0. The search for missing Anna Orr, the 17-year-old daughter of Charles Orr, who in a fit of delirium, the result of tyhoid malaria fever, jumped from a window at Castle View, near Bridgeport, Conn., Saturday night, has SO far proved fruitless. Ex-U. S. Minister Hicks, who has just arrived at San Francisco, says Peru is in a state verging on bankruptcy, the silver question having become a serious p oblem. There is considerable unrest in the country pending the election of a new President. The house of J.H. Langrain, a farmer near Olga, N. D., was burned yesday through lighting a fire with kerosene. Two of his children were burned to death, and Langrain and wife were so badly injured that their recovery is doubtful. A heavy rain and lightning storm visited Denver and vicinity yesterday afternoon. At Barnum, a suburban town, a small cloudburst occurred. In Denver there was no damage done, but the lightning was awful. The storm was general throughout the mountains. Among the failures reported to-day are the private banking house of N. M. Crane & Co., at Hornellsville, N. Y.; the Akron, Ohio, Savings bank the Wyandotte county bank, Upper Sandusky, O.; the Commercial Bank, of Cottage Grove, Oregon ; First National Bank, of Ashland, Wis, With this morning the savings banks of New York city, as a rule, began to take advantage of the sixty days' time clause. That is, the bank officials made use of the prerogative in cases where large amounts were concerned, or where such action was deemed neessary to check the withdrawal of money for hoarding or in senseless fright. But while nearly all the banks claimed the privilege of using the clause, in comparatively few instances

THE troubles in Akron yesterday were precipitated by timid farmers, who drew their money out of savings banks, and then hid it from sight. Scare money makes low prices. The present low price of farm products is caused by scarce money. The men who take their money out of use and put it where it is no use, are largely responsible for the present money famine. The failure of the Akron Savings bank yesterday was caused solely by the withdrawal of deposits by those who did not need their money. The bank is conceded to be solvent.
