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.

THIEVING BANK OFFICIALS. They Take the Colored Porter Along to Carry Their Plunder. RALEIGH, N. C., March 28.-The chair man of the board of directors of the State National bank published the following yes terday: "The directors of the State National bank, having reason to believe that the president and cashier of the bank have absconded with a large amount of the assets, have determined to close up the doors, and turn over all affairs to the proper officers of the United States government. We are glad to be able to assure the public that the other banks of the city are not affected by this defalcation." The officers of the other banks in the city announce officially that the suspension does not affect their institutions. There has been nothing whatever in the nature of a run on the banks of this city other than the plundered State National bank. Confidence in their soundness seems to be absolute. The broken bank remains closed, awaiting the coming of the bank examiner, who is expected to-day. The amount of the defalcation is variously estimated at from $250,000 to $340,000 The cash carried off is supposed to be about $45,000, including $20,000 in gold, to bear which the absconders took along the colored porter of the bank. The trioare now believed to be in Canada, having left the city Saturday afternoon for the north via Greenborough. The State National bank was started by a wealthy man named Williams, with a capital of $100,000. Williams assigned shares to his sons-in-law, and they, with him, became the directors. After the death of Williams his widow became president of the bank and acted as such until two or three years ago, when she retired, and her son-in-law, Cross, was elected president. The circulation of the closed bank is said to be not over $25,000, which is secured, but the deposits are said to be about $240,000, for which the stockholders are responsible.

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."

The State National bank of Raleigh, N. C., has suspended. Its trouble came from having a president and cashier who stole all its securities and most of its bills, and $20,000 in gold from its vaults. The specie being heavier than they could conveniently carry they stole the colored porter to help them. The loss to the stockholders and depositors will probably reach $400,000, without counting the loss of the porter, who since the war has not figured as an asset.

WILL TAKE CHARGE. ARECEIVER APPOINTED FOR RALEIGH'S SMASHED BANK The Money Taken off the Persons of Cross and White-The Supreme Court. (Special telegram to the Dispatch.) RALEIGH, N. C., April 11.-United States District Attorney Fab. H. Busbee, who has been at Toronto, Canada, after White and Cross, the bank boodlers, retarned this afternoon. He stopped at New York and placed in the Park Bank the $25,000 found on the persons of the prisoners. He stopped, also, at Washington and made a report to the Comptroller of the Treasury. Mr. Busbee states that yesterday the Comptroller appointed Hon. Clement Dowd, formerly of Charlotte, now of Washington, D. C., receiver of the State National Bank. He will take charge at once. Mr. Dowd has experience in bank affairs, having for some years been president of the Commercial National Bank of Charlotte. He also served two terms as congressman from the Sixth district. The Supreme Court is devoting much time to hearing arguments in the cases of Wilson against Pearson and Walton against Pearson, both from Burke county. Next Monday appeals from the Twelfth district will be called and on the following Monday those from the Eleventh. A negro woman known as Granny Rose died yesterday at Davidson College ; aged one hundred and thirty-one years. T. R. Fentress, once a well-known business-man of this city, was stricken with paralysis yesterday. Mecklenberg Presbytery convenes today at Sugar-Creek church, MecklenMcLean berg county. Rev. J. L. preached the opening sermon. Iron for the track of the Wilkesboro' branch of the Richmond and Danville railway is arriving at Winston. At Charlotte work is in progress now on three cotton- factories and at Fayetteville on two. In all it is learned there are now over fifteen factories in course of construction. James Stowe (colored) is under sentence of death for arson and the date of his execution is May 25th. He burned a store owned by a man named Carroll last November. The new Fair Association at Newberne has been organized. It will have a fine field of operations. Nine counties are thus far co-operating, and annual fairs are assured. It is intended that these fairs shall be important factors in the development of North Carolina. Some very pleasant things are said of Governor Scales, whose Administration so rapidly nears its close, and all are richly deserved. The Governor is a man singularly earnest and true and he has steadily shown this. The residence of Edward Yarboro, at Osgood, Chatham county, was burned yesterday. The loss is about $1,500, Memorial-day, May 10th, will be observed this year in better style than usual. At Wilmington the Davis cadet battalion, 200 strong, will participate in the exercises. Delegates are rapidly being appointed to the Episcopal Convention of the Diocese of North Carolina, which meets at Salisbury May 23d. In a letter to the Department of Agriculture from a prominent Virginia farmer and stock-raiser the latter says that North Carolina is very far ahead of the Old Dominion in the matter of advancement of the agricultural interests. He desires to be fully informed as to the methods used in spurring the farmers on and in promoting their interests. A statement by the Superintendent of Public Instruction shows that one third of all the money raised by taxation in this State for all purposes goes to the public schools. The per capita expense last year was $1.16, and $653,037 was expended. In 1860 the per capita expense was $1.25 and $278,000 was expended. Then there were 221,45 children of school age now there are 566,270. The length of terms is less than in 1860, but the pay of teachers is better. Now there are two races to be instructed. Their separation is a necessity, but it costs more to educate them thus separately than it would to educate one race having the same number of children. The boards of education, a valuable feature of the system, ost only about 1 per cent. of the funds. The system is less costly than that which obtained before the war. Mr. Peter M. Wilson has been elected secretary of the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Society. He was for years secretary of tne State Board of Agriculture.

# 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.
