One of lb Vtrttmo Abnrondlna of It Secretary Had Treasurer The Hhtrlfl Called Into the Cane. Philadelphia has again been visited with a defalcation, and on this occasion, as in the case of Thomas Hllscn, the parties Implicated occu pied pood positions in the mercantile world. At No. 714 Chesnut street is located the oflice of the Philadelphia Watch Company, and until last Wednesday its oilicers were as follows: President, B. Paulus; Secretary, Ccl9?Ua -ftCOU; Treasurer, Hector J5PU. Xll8 Jaeott brothers, in addUi&'u to liielr OlV.elal connection with the organization, carried on the business of manufac turing wrtch cases, their factory being on the upper floors of the building No. 714. They were Welshmen, and known as experienced workmen In this country. They have been In the United States some thirty-five years, and during all that time they have enjoyed a num ber one reputation for industry and integrity. They were reputed to be wealthy men, and on ttue belief they could obtaiu sums in unlimited amounts. Latterly they became involved in financial dilliculties as a firm, and permitted aouic of their notes to go to protest. This ot course damaged their credit, and cases have tome to light where they have paid enormous interest for loans the figures going as hlU as IX) and 25 per cent. These (acts came to the knowledge of the company with which they were connected, but it was thought that their dilliculties were of only a temporary nature. But it now turns out that they are heavy debtors to several New York houses, the firms of which hold their (taper. It also came to light that they recently ecamo very anxious about some gold that was cieposited in the Mint, but a generous President conceived this to be the anxiety occasioned by a desire to meet some of their obligations. Their reputation for honesty remained unim paired, and very recently they negotiated kcavy loans. - it was not believed that they could he un fratefol until last Thursday morning, when lector failed to put in an appearance at the clliee of the company, as it had been his usual custom to open this and their own establish ment. The doors remained closed until the arrival of Mr. Paulus, the President, who insti tuted immediate inquiries. He 6ent to their homes and was informed that they bad gone to Mew York on buslnees. However, late in the lay, Mr. Paulus became suspicious, and hearing no word from the absentees, made up his mind that they had absconded. On Friday he .put the fcheriff in charge of the workshop and what little real estate was owned by Hector. On the same day Mr. Paulus repaired to New York, and being unsuccessful iu' obtaining any knowledge of their whereabouts, remained until Saturday, when the pteamer City of Washington was to sail for Europe. He went on board the vessel, and not only scrutinized the passengers but examined the hands' and was unable to identify either of the brothers. He then returned to this city and commenced an investigation. The books of the company were examined, and thus far it has tx-en found that the brothers made use of notes, which were in the possession of Hector as trea surer, which they had discounted, some in banks and others on the street. The amount taken bos not been definitely ascertained, but it will not be likely to interfere with the opera tions of the company. THE ALBANY FIREMEN.

Uol faday, of California, who is a great friend of the General, who is now abroad observing the movements of the Prussian and French armies. Knowing General Grant's admiration of his character and abilities, and his thorough appre ciation of Mr. Read's work, she felt that nothing could bo more appropriate ds a compliment. This picture is about 3J.;x5 feet, much more sizeable lor general Inspection, and suitable for a private reeidencf. than, the noble work of the artist we are all famillnr with. The Pistol. About 11 o'clock this forenoon n party of three young men, all intoxicated, whilst proceeuing aown icnm street, near oun- soro, met a stranger coming up, wnora tney opked to take a drinK. ine stranger reiusea, whereupon one of the three drew a revolver and fired a shot nt him, the ball missing and going through the plate-glass window of a jewelry stoic.

( The usual weekly exhibit of the city national banks Is again unfavorable to the borrowing classes, though less so than that of several pre ceding weeks. The deposits are down $070,401, and specie $ 130,258, but there is an increase in legal tenders amounting to $222,794. The loans reflect the contracting policy of the banks and extreme caution, being $732,QC1 less than last week. That the banks are drawing in their lines preparatory to a pinch Is evident from the diminished business of the week amounting to over four millions. The demand for discounts to-day is quite lively and rates are firm, but the speculative demand is light. Gold is decidedly dull and steady, the sales ranging from HOfffillO,1. Speculation is at a standstill, pending the expected great battle. Government bonds show Increased firmness both at home and abroad, but there is little or nothing doing in this market. Stocks were decidedly onlct but firmer; sales of City 6s, new issue, at 101?. Reading Railroad was quite active and stronger; sales at 486? 48 1 10. Small transac Hons In Pennsylvania at 58, and Catawlssa preferred at 37)6. 27 was offered for Philadel phia and Eric and 41 for North Pennsylvania. Canal, bank, coal and passenger railroad stocks were barely noticed. PHILADELPHIA STOCK EXCHANGE SALES. Reported by De Haven & Bra, No. 40 S. Third street.

The effect of the better price In London seemed overcome by the Impression among a few dealers at the board that the terrific fighting re ported to be In progress in France haB not been a victory for the Prussians. Hence the German brokers have been disposed to buy rather than sell gold. As a consequence prices of Governments at the close were off a trine from the average Chares at tne noaras."
