THE GARDNER DEFALCATION,
The Cashier's Clever Scheme to Cover up
His Speculations,
‘The absconding of Harry A. Gard-
ner, cashier of the Second National
bank, at Altoona, is still the chief top-
ic of conversation among all classes of
that city. Itis learned on good au-
thority that Gardner's stealings have
covered a period of at least seven years.
As he was never distrusted by any of
the other bank officers, he easily de-
ceived them with false entries and his
method of deceiving the bank exam-
iner was both clever and original,
Gardner knew when the bank ex-
aminer was in town and he would
make a loan from some neighboring
country bank, enter the money up as
cash and so balance his books. When
the examiner left Gardner would re
turn the loan and continue his steal-
ings as before. On Saturday Bank
Examiner Miller called at the bank
unexpectedly and Gardner could not
make his usual loan in time and know-
ing the game was up, he took $7,000 in
cash and absconded.
A statement of the bank’s condition
is still refused but the directors con-
tinue to profess their belief in its solv-
ency. The bank is making no effort
to apprehend Gardner but it is said
that the government is after him. It
is rumored that Gardner was arrested
in Rochester, N. Y., but the report
cannot be verified.
The uncertainty over the closing of
the bank has been increased by the
discovery that $63.000 of Blair county's
fonds are deposited in the Western
national bank of Philadelphia to the
credit of the closed bank. The cash-
ier's steal is now said to run up to $150,-
000, and the returns not all in yet.
The Man Without a Country.
Legislation in France, Switzerland,
England, Italy and other nations of
Europe, in consequence of the assas-
sination of the president of the French
Republic, has been so shaped that it
may soon be said that the anarchist is
a man without a country, and also
minus a local habitation. Switzer-
land, so long the refuge of political ex-
iles, has closed her gates to all who
-would endanger human life or social
order. Heavy penalties are imposed
on all guilty of the unlawful manufac-
ture or possession of explosives, and
expulsion awaits those on whom sus-
picion rests in this regard. Italy has
imprisoned thousands of anarchists
and proposes deportation for them to
Africa.
The United States needs to do some-
thing to get rid of its anarchists and
prevent others from landing upon our
shores. These anarchists should go to
some unhabited island or territory and
try to get along without law, order, or
government, to suit their notions, and
blow each other up with dynamite
whenever they feel like it. The peo-
ple of civilized countries don’t want
anarchistic methods; let these flends
set up for themselves somewhere, and
the rest of the world will not molest
them, and only look on.

Huntingdon Democrats,
The Democrats of Huntingdon held
their convention on Tuesday, at Hunt-

nominated: Assemaly, Benjamin F.

Knocked Over an Embankment,
Last Saturday while Ed. Long was
driving across the railroad track near
Central City, near Milesburg, he was
struck by a train, and his horse and
wagon and himself knocked over an
embankment into a pond. Strange to
say neither horse nor driver was much
damaged.
Struck the Steeple,
During the storm on Monday fore
noon lightning struck the Disciple
church at Mount Eagle, tearing off
the steeple and otherwise damaging it
to the extent of several hundred dol-
WEATHER FORECAST.
Prophet Foster Issues his Weekly Bulletin
Forecast.
Weather prophet Foster says in his
last bulletin he gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
August 16 to 14, and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about the 15th,
cross the western mountains by the
close of the 16th, the great central val
leys from the 17th to 19th, and the
eastern states about the 20th. This
disturbance will causq the principal
rains of the month and the storm will
be of more than usual force east of the
Mississippi about the 18th or 18th,
The fifth disturbance of August will
reach the Pacific coast about the close
of the 22d, the great central valleys
from the 23d to the 25th, and the east-
ern states about the 26th. Not much
rain is expected from the storm wave.
Warm waves will cross the western
mountains about the 15th and 21st,
the great central valleys about the 17th
and 23d, and the eastern states about
the 10th and 25th. Cool wave will
cross the western mountains about the
the 18th and 24th, the great central
valleys about the 20th and 25th and
the eastern states about the 22nd and
23d.

Does Not Kill,
M. D’Arsonval, the French expert
on electricity, asserts that the electric
current does not kill, and maintains
that all those who have died (as report-
ed) in the electric chair in New York
were merely in a state of suspended vi-
tality, and really died under the knives
of the physicians who performed the
autopsy, He dared the New York
physicians to try to resuscitate the
next criminal that was electrocuted, a
challenge which has so far been ignor-
ed. M. D'Arsonval says that all that
is necessary in the case is to induce ar-
tificial respiration and nature will do
the rest. He cites the following case
in point: A workman at the St Denis
generating station was putting up a
telephone wire. While seated at his
bracket he inadvertently touched a
wire on the main transmission line
and instantly had 4,500 volts through
his body. It was some minutes before
the current could be cut off, and it
was three-quarters of an hour before
he could be got down from the brack-
et. Artificial respiration was imme-
diately tried. In two hours the man
could talk, and he is now apparently
none the worse for the accident.

Working the Auditors,
There is a suspicion abroad that
some of the honest sheep raisers of Ly-
coming county are playing a game up-
on the county that would do credit to
a heathen Chinese. It is alleged that
when one sheep is killed the sud-
itors are informed. They see the
sheep, appraise it and go away, but
while the auditors are turning out of
the lane, the owner of another flock of
sheep will take the dead animal to his
home, summons the auditors, have it
appraised and receive the money from
the commissioners. Then one or two
other men do likewise, until finally
the county pays out about $20 for that
one sheep.
Potato Joke,
It is said of George Washington that
he never joked except upon one occa
sion when in congress a member pro-
posed that the government shall never
raisean army of over 40,000, to this
George proposed an amendment that
no foreign country be allowed to in-
vade this country with a greater army
than 40,000 men. While George may
never have joked, we know some per-
sons never laugh, yet our neighbor,
John Dauberman, asserts that pota-
toes will be plenty this year, inasmuch
as the weeds when pulled, are found
hanging full of potatoes.
Safe Blown.
Sometime Sunday night burglars ef-
fected an entrance into Forseman &
Kelsey's mill at Flemington, Clinton
county, by forcing off the inside latch
of the front door. Then they bored a
hole through the steel door of the safe
and blew it open. The drawer of the
safe was emptied of its contents, but
the burglars only secured a few post-
age stamps and small change, amount-
ing to less than a dollar for their troub-
