Abbott, an old and re spected citizen of Dover, N. II , and cashier of the Dover National Bank, was found on the 14th inst. to be a defaulter to an amount estimated to be about $80,000. and when officers went to his residence to arrest him he shot and killed himself. The discovery of the defalcation was made by Bank Examiner Dorr. who began an examination of the bank last Friday. He asked Mr, Abbott certain questions which the casnier saia he would answer next morning. When the examiner came again Saturday morning it was found that the safe could not be opened. and Mr. Abbott failed to appear. He was at home and said that he would explain all Monday. ine reiusai 01 ine cashier to say anything was brought to the attention ol the bank officials, and Examiner Dorr at once declared Abbott a de faulter. Mr. Abbott remained at home all day, and Chief of Police Fogarty de tailed police officers to guard the house. The object of setting the time lock ahead was to give him time. Abbott stated that the vault would open in the morning at nine o'clock. When the vault was unlocked, Bank Examiner Dorr posted a notice that the bank had suspended business until its affairs could be straightened out. At three o clock in the afternoon brother of Abbott heard the report of a pistol, and rushing to his brother's room, found him Ivins on the floor with his face shattered and covered with blood. Life was extinct. It is believed the dead cashier has left a detailed statement for Examiner Dorr. Intense excitement prevails, as Abbott was also cashier of the Five Cent Savings Bank and was city treasurer. Mr. Abbotts bond was issued for $20,000 by the North American Guarantee Company of Montreal, who have been tpprised of the default. The city's money on deposit is said to be safe. The stockholders will have to make good the deficiency in the bank. An audience in keeping with the high character of Mr. Wilfred Clarke and the specially selected company, among which were Mrs. John Drew, the distinguished actress, and Joseph Holland, the well known actor, en gaged to support him, filled the Girard Avenue Theatre, Philadelphia, Mon day evening to witness Mr. Clarke's performance of "Bob Acres," in Sheri- lan'j famous comedy of "The Rivals." The steadily increasing audience up to the point of standing rooai only, and the lively interest manifested in all Mr. Clarke's peiformances dem onstrate that the public are prepared to support managers and actors who give an opportunity to witness plajs which attract by force of their literary excellence. The strongest compliment that can be paid Mr. Clarke and his company is the simple statement that every person in the cast brought to their tasks a degree of intelligence that rendered the entire performance a perfectly pleasing one. Mr. Clarke's comedy cannot be compared to any other extant i it is original and it is doubtful if the oldest theatre goer in the audience ever witnessed its equal. Many private carriages were in wait ing at the close of the performance. lo nee Clarke in comedy has become a fashionable necessity in Philadel-' phia Times, Philadelphia. 1 he date of Mr. Clarke s return en gagement here is Wednesday, January 23, when he will present great comedy of "Tit for Tat" at the Opera House. mm Mit h lxtRA Fink MM ABSOLUTELY PURE THE OLD RELIABLE SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE Hal stood the Test of Time MORE SOLD THAN ALL OTHER BRANDS COMBINED l-J-JN-iy.
