Where Is Defaulter Gardner?
The Aloona Tribune of Thursday
morning coutaivs the following, and
the latest, about the defaulter Garduer:
Where is Harry A. Gardner? This
is a question asked regularly every day
but as yet no one authentically an-
swers it. The defaulting cashier of the
Second National bank seems to have
fallen off the earth between two days
so far as any positive izformation con-
cerning his whereabouts is concerned.
Disappearing he has left in his wake a
surviving wile, a self-murder which
would wot bave occurred but for his
criminal action, and a host of morbid-
minded individuals who catch at straws
in the same way in which, from all ap-
pearances, the absent cashier caught at
bank notes.
The latest intelligence as to the
whereabouts of Gardner is to the effect
that he was seen in Philadelphia yester-
day morning. This news wae contained
in a telegram received here during the
day and in which the sender was posi-
tive as to the identity of the man. One
theory advanced in this connection is
that the woman who has figured in the
case was ill, and that Gardner was only
holding over under the hope that she
would recover. Itis generally suppos-
ed that she is ick in Philadelphia.
On the heels of this telegram there
comes one from Pittsburgh by United
Press, which contains the followiag
long range information :
«IIarry A. Gardner, the defaulting
cashier of the Second National bank of
Altoona, is en route for China or Japan,
and he has with him the sum of $100,-
000 in bank-notes of large and small
denominations.” So spoke Samuel B.
Griffith, assistant district attorney,
when asked to day regarding the truth
of a rumor that Gaadner had been in
this city to-day. “Gardner was in
Portland, Ore., a few days ago,” said
Mr. Griffith, “and he has likely left the
country by this time.”
“A week azo last Monday Gardaer
learned that Bank Examiner Miller
was going to investigate his accounts.
Gardner at once began preparations for
a flight and left that afternoon, taking
every dollar of the bank's money he
could carry. The capital stock of the
bank is $100,000 and the defalcation is
in excess of that sum.”

A Kansas City Pamphlet Cites the Railroad
Strike as a Sure Sign.
Kansas City, Aug. 22.—A small
pamphlet entitled “What Do These
Things Mean ?” is being freely dis-
tributed among the homes, particularly
of workingmen, about town. It isin-
teresting, inasmuch as it attempts to
rove that the end of the world is
at hand and that the wonderful things
told in the Book of Revelations are
about to come to pass,
The recent railroad strike is declared
to be the lastsign of prophecy. This
last sign, it declares, is distress with per-
plexity. Nations have been per-
plexed before, and likewise have been
distressed, but this is the first time,
it is asserted, that both calamities have
come at once. The pamphlet is pub-
lished by the International Religious
Liberty Association. At their office to-
day no one was able to fix the exact day
for the end the of world, but it was stated
that the present generation will live to
see it, and that most of us will be present
when the end comes.

Pitiable State of Pullman Strikers.
Cuicaco, August 21.—Governor Alt-
geld spent several hours to-day in cou-
ference with a committee of citizens of
Pullman, who were called upon to give
him information regarding the starving
strikers. He was told that 2,436 fami-
lies have been helped since the begin-
ning of the strike, and that about §20,-
000 has been given the relief commit-
tee, all of which had been expended.
“I don’t just know what method I
shall take to aid these men,” said the
governor, “but something must be
done. I have written a letter to
George M. Pullman regarding the mat.
ter. Until I have received a reply, I
am not at liberty to make the contents
of the letter public.”
It is probable that Governor Altgeld
will issue a proclamation setting forth
the pitiable condition of the strikers
and calling for aid.
Blew His Brains Out.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., August 22.—
Rather than be taken back to Wil-
limantic, Conn., on a charge of forgery,
George R. Fuller, who is said to come
from New York, killed himself yester-
day at Montoursville, a suburb, by
shooting himself in the head. The
suicide came here on Monday and secur-
ed board with Mrs. Hannah Fuller,
with whom he claimed relationship.
Soon after his arrival Constable Gilbert
appeared and placed him under arrest.
Fuller asked to be allowed to change
his clothing, and instead of doing so
blew out his brains.
Fuller had been a life insurance agent
and had no doubt contemplated suicide
in the event of his arrest on the charge
of forgery. Beside the pistol he had a
bottle of laudanum in his pocket. Rela-
tives have taken charge of his body.

A Snake Bites For Science.
Professor Beyer Endangers His Life With a
Rattler.
NEw ORLEANS, La., Aug. 21.—Pro-
fessor George Beyer, curator of Tulane
University Museum, in this city, yes-
terday subjected himself to a dangerous
experiment. He allowed himself to be
bitten by a rattlesnake in order to de-
termine if a person can be inoculated
with the venom of serpents.
From hjs large collection of soakes he
selected a young rattler that had been
caught a few days ago. Teasing the
snake, he maddened it, and in a few
minutes 1t directed its fangs toward Pro-
fessor Beyer’s little finger and bit him.
The professor did not use any antidote,
and awaited developments.
The sensation was very much like
the sting of a bee, the pain became in-
tense and the finger became swollen.
Professor Beyer’s object in experiment-
ing is to try and establish that by the
gradual absorption of a snake’s venom
the system will become inoculated and
a person in that condition can be bitten
without the result proving fatal, Iro-
fessor Beyer thinks his experiment will
be successful.

The Driftwood Gazette states that
two expert arborists from Boston Mass.
are out 1n the wilds of that vicinity in-
vestigating and experimenting as to the
practicability of planting the seed of
the white pine. This scheme has been
given careful attention and research of
late, and would prove a grand thing if
the large area of land in this section of
the state. now denuded of timber, could
be replanted and made to yield a fine
growth of pine again within the years
necessary to make it a paying invest-
ment. The experiments of these two
gentlemen will be watched with much
interest.

Svicipe oF BANK EXAMINER MIL-
LER.—An appalling sequel to the trou-
bles of the Second National Bank of
Altoona is the sensational suicide last
Friday afternoon, of William Miller,
the government bank examiner, who
has had charge of the institution since
the flight of Cashier Harry A. Gardner
about ten days ago.
That afternoon at five minutes after
one o'clock Mr. Miller, who was sitting
at a deck in the bank, deliberately rais-
ed a 45 calibre Colt’s revolver to his
bead and fired. The bullet passed quite
through the head, entering below the
right ear, coming out on the other side |
and striking the wall. President John
P. Levan, who was sitting in the read-
ing room, was the only person with Mr.
Miller in the bank at the * time. Death
was instantaneous. Coroner Poet, who
was at Roaring Spring, was immediately
cent for and the remains were taken to
the undertaking rooms of R. K. Spi-
cer & Co.
This sensational affair is another
shock to the people of Altoona. Itis
yet unexplainable. When Cashier Gard-
ner disappeared early last week and it
became evident that he had stolen a
large sum from the Second National,
Mr. Miller as the government examiner
Lad just reached that institution in the
course of his rogular examinations of
national banks in this district. He at
once assumed charge of affairs at the
Second National and closed its doors
until a thorough examination should
be made. It issaid that Mr. Miller
had just completed his inquiry and had
dispatched his reports to the treasury
department at Washington, awaiting
the reply therefrom before he would or-
der the bank’s doors reopened. The
only explanation of his terrible suicide
that he was led to the act because on
completing his examination he feared
that he would be censured by the govern-
ment for not having discovered Cash-
jer Gardner’s crooked operations long
ago, It issaid that the books and pa-
pers show Gardner's wrong doings bad
extended over a long time, and Exami-
ner Miller was doubtless driven to des-
peration when he found how he had
been deceived.
The suicide did not speak to Mr. Le-
van before committing the deed, nor
did be leave any written explanation of
it. He did, however, write two letters,
just before noon, and it is thought that
these letters when found may explain-
the cause of his deed.
Undoubtedly this occurrence will fur-
ther complicate the tangled affairs of
the Second National Bank of Altoona,
so that it is now hardly likely to be re-
opened for a couple of weeks. Another
examiner will be detailed to take charge,
and another thorough examination may
be necessary.
Ever since the opening of the examin-
ation Mr. Miller has worked hard. The
bank clerks told him they could not
stand the work much longer. At times
he worked until 12:40 o’clock in the
morning, beginning operations again at
5 o'clock. At no time did he seem to be
specially worried about anything, but
all along his nervousness showed the
effects of the strain upon him.
Miller was single and aged 42 years.
He had been bank examiner of this cir-
cuit for about four years and had a
reputation for honesty and hard work.
His home was at Mercer, Pa., where he
was cashier of the First National Bank
previous to becoming examiner.
On Saturday morning the coroner’s
jury met in Alderman Smith’s office to
take testimony relative to the death of
Bank Examiner Miller. District At-
torney Hammond was present in behalf
of the commonwealth, Deputy Attorney
General J. A. Stranaban and N. P.
Mervine, Exq., appeared on behalf of
the dead man’s relatives, and Assistant
United States District Attorney Grifiith
was there, to secure information. As is
usually the case a large number of spec-
tators were on hand.
John P. Levan, president of the Se-
cond National bank; I. C. Adam,
clerk at Stern & Bendheim’s clothing’
store ; Jacob William, Pennsylvania
Bailroad watchman ; Dr. Christy, who
examined the dead bank examiner;
Joseph Maize, the new night watchman
at the bank ; C. M. Lewis and Anthony
Keller, who were sitting on the steps
when the fatal shot was fired ; Chief-of-
police Tillard, who arrived shortly after-
wards ; W. K. Kennedy and Maybury
Miller, clerks at the bank, and Wm. Al-
len and James Owen, were the only
witnesses who gave testimony before the
jury.
Not one of the men were of the opin-
ion, other than suicide, nor did their de-
positions tend to any other theory.
Practically nothing new developed ex-
cept in the testimony of the bank
clerks. :
W. L. Kennedy told of Miller sum-
ming up one of the books last Tuesday
in a very careless manner, and after his
report had been sent to Washington
said he “didn’t know what the d—1 he
had done that for,’ speaking in refer-
ence to his manner of counting up
books. According to clerk Kennedy's
testimony Miller seemed greatly excited
when he found in the day book that a
lot of figures had been changed before
his examination of the bank last Feb-
EET ET IER CO I TR
ruary and changed back the day after-
wards. The witness also stated that the
bank examiner’s conduct was very pe-
culiar for three or four days before the
suicide, and that at the time he had
remarked to Mr. Hammond that he be-
lieved Miller was crazy. =
In Maybury Miller's evidence he
said that he had been ordered to change
some figures in one of the books one day
by Gardner, and afterwards, when the
totals wouldn’t balance, he told Gardner
so and was ordered to change the figures
to the original. The change in the fig-
ures involved a difference of about $30,-
000: This was the change Clerk Ken-
nedy spoke of in his testimony and was
made prior to Miller's visit last Febru-
ary.
At the conclusion of hearing the tes-
timony the jury adjourned, without a
verdict, until 10 o’clock Thursday, atthe |
request of Mr. Stranahan, who said that
he wished to report to the friends of the !
dead man and to the controller of the
treasury before the verdict was rendered,
to see if anything new can be learned.

DO YOU REMEMBER ?
M. V. THOMAS.
Oh! Do you remember the day? Meade,
When we walked beside the sea ;
And the waves were kissed by the sunlight,
What thoughts came to you and me ?
How we walked on the beach and gathered
The shells, that the waves had thrown
Far up on the sands of the seashore,
Until weary, with gathering we'd grown ?
You said there were none quite per fect,
Something was lack ing in each.
They were tossed by the waves, and broken
Before they found rest on the beach.
I have often thought of your words, Meade,
And the thought has come to me—
How rarely we find perfection, in
Our journey over Life's sea!
Ah! No, there is none quite perfect,
Some blemish in each, we see.
The bark, that is tossed by the billows,
Comes not unscathed from the sea.
We, like the shells that we gathered,
Are tossed on the shores of life's sea.
Some are all mangled and broken ;
But none, from grave faults, are quite free.
