The panic over Mr John H James order at the Strest-The Hanks Abon firm Foottus-Merchants to Bracae-Che Hastes subsides as Atlanta banks reset. Banks open at 2 pm with more cash than opened the day, deposits pour in, merchants reassure, and telegraphic offers of aid arrive from New York. By afternoon calm returns and confidence steadies across institutions.

MR JAMES SUSPENSION AND ASSETS LISTING
Mr James declines to speak for publication as hearings unfold on his suspension and the assignment. He may surrender property to meet obligations, with plans to restart in a new business using his wife’s assets. Estimates place real estate at about 340000, loans about 60000, deposits around 440000, and potential full recovery depending on real estate and Memphis and Charleston stock values.

Wall Street News From The Open Market
A New York Tribune interview with Senator John Sherman frames the current financial mood. He sees 1873-style distress as unlikely, citing local troubles from stock speculation and railroad securities, while asserting the country’s resources remain ample. Reports note bears covering shorts and rising foreign buying, with Fisk & Hatch depositors confident despite creditor pressures. The Street opens steady, clearinghouse measures aim to ease liquidity as Hartley & Sons suspend, and Lake Shore, St Paul, and other rails fluctuate amid broad market volatility. Vanderbilt traders anticipate London orders as stock prices retreat, with bonds weak and a general sense of fragility in the financial center.

Three Men Hanged At Greenville For Murder In 1882
In Greenville on May 16, James and Alfred McCullough and Riley Anderson were hanged by Sheriff Gilreath for the murders of Ephraim Saxon and Lou Griffith. The execution, private by law, drew crowds and featured hymns, prayers, and solemn farewells before the three men were pronounced dead. The case details recount Saxon’s killing at a stable and Griffith’s brutal death, with Anderson identified as the Griffiths’ uncle and main suspect, later convicted and sentenced alongside the McCulloughs.
