MORE BANKS TUMBLE. The Kimball-Champ Company, of Council Bluffs, Assigns. BAD NEBRASKA INVESTMENTS. A New York Bank Officer Forced to Resign-Heavy Shipments of Money to the West. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia., July 22-The KimballChamp Investment Company, with a capital stock of $200,000, assigned today for the benefit of creditors. Messrs. Kimball and Champ also did a general banking business. Before the failure of the investment company there was on deposit in the bank about $50,000, including $7,000 of Pottawottamie county money. The county drew out this amount just before the assignment was filed. Some other depositors got out their money also, but the larger part of the funds are now in the hands of the assignee. The attorney for the assignee says the causes of the assignment were many. Chief among them was the total failure of borrowers in Nebraska to pay interest coupons, extreme dullness of business, stringency in the markets, poor collections and the company's inability to bond the Grand hotel, which it had just built at a cost of $75,000. He says the assets amount to $400,000 and the liabilities to about $100,000. He thinks Kimball and Champ, as bankers, have protected the trust funds and depositors, 50 there will be no losses here. Eastern capitalists are largely interested in the investment company.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY. OTHER methods of settlement for the difficulty with the miners at Briceville, Tenn., having failed, Gov. Buchanan has decided to call a special session of the legislature and has issued a call for elections to fill vacancies. In the call for the special session he will emb ody the recommendation that the convict lease system be modified, if not repealed. Pending the election the convicts must return to the Briceville mines, from which they were evicted. If the miners agree not to molest them until the legislature acts the militia will be sent home. Those best acquainted with the mountain people believe the miners will accept the proposition. If they do not the convicts will return to Coal Creek accompanied by the militia. If the state troops cannot furnish adequate protection the United States will be asked to send regulars.

He was bitten over the eye two years ago while playing with a kitten, and suffered no trouble from it until recently, when he felt a pain near the old wound. At the sight of water he was seized with convulsions. He was taken to the hospital and shortly afterward there ensued an awful struggle between him and five attendants, who tried to control him. He was finally strapped to a bed, but not until he had almost killed two of the assistants. Injections of morphine seemed to have no effect on him.
