gallant soldiers Inte the army and brought he
many et the old veterans here. Dr. Wlcker

or assistance should rocelvo it from the local
pests, whether they belong te the oider or
net. Kecend, the (J. A. It. pest ought te try
and procure work for every soldier out of
employment. There ought te be a bureau et
employment established bore in Lancaster,
ler the aid or the deserving soldiers who are
able and willing te work. Third, every
aeldier or soldier's widow ought te
be pensioned. The government baa
done much for the soldiers, but
should de mere. Dr. Wickershum compli

Ha I. New In Montreal.
A startling addition te the recent big de
falcations In New Kugland was made known
In Hartferd, Conn., en Wednesday. Geerge
M. lUrtholemow, presldent of the Charter
Oik Llfe lusurance ceuiiany, and or the Hoi Hei Hoi
yeko (Mass.) Water Power company, and
holdingetherliiiiiortanttrusls,liasabsoonded,
leavluge dellclency of ever half a million lit
his account. The Immodlate cause of the
eiose was the embezzlement recently by
Themas Plunkett, who has also dlsappoared,
of the funds of the Hartferd Hllk company,
Ilartholemew was heavily lnvolved in Pi tin
kelt's alfalrs and the latter's crime oxpesod
that of the fermer. (Secretary Willard, of
the lusurance company, dotectod a dellcltlast
week. Ilartholemew found that the secretary
was determined te netily the directors at
thelr meeting en (Saturday. The presldent
said he prolerred te make his own confession,
and when tlie directors met he astonlshed
them by announcing that he was a defaulter
te the amount or f 11.7,00a The beard was
simply paralyred by the news. Mr. Ilarthol Ilarthel Ilarthol
eiuo w may al most be said te have been the
foremost business man et the city, where lie
has been a prominent figure ter balfacentury.
He has been In absolute control of theCliarler
Oak Life since It was ergsnlred In 1S78. He
rescued the company Irem Insohency at ene
tlme by indorsing Its pser for mere than
half a million, indeed, within a year he has
made a statement or hit allalrs showing a
balance Iu his laver et mere than a. million.
The supiiesnd millionalreceuressed that he
had been stealing the funds et the corpora
tions with which he was connected for Heme
tlme. He had abstracted large sums In cash
and had raised mero upon notes which he had
made In the names of thocerporatlons. When
the situation became dosperato Cyrus W.
Field, who is a relative, came te seu him.
What passed between the men Is net known,
but the confession Immediately followed Mr.
Field's return te New Yerk.
According te lUrtholemow 's own statement,
his shertage iu his accounts as president of
tlie two corporations llrst mentioned amounts
te f:!50,oea It has already beeu found that
this statement does net cover the real facts In
thocHHe. The outlook bocatne se dark that the
dlroctersortho Insurance company were oblig
ed te apply for the appointment of a roceh er.
The Union manufacturing company, with
which Mr. llartholeuiowhaslieen ptomlnent ptemlnent
ly connected, is also a heavy suUorer, but te
what extent is net yet known. On Monday
when the directors of the Insurance company
liegau te roallze the situation they asked Mr,
Bartholemew for bis resignation, which was
at ence furnished. That afternoon the de
faulter lelt town for New Yerk. Bartholemew
Is new said te be In Montreal.
Among Iho ether positions which he held
w ero the following : Director In the Ameri
can National bank, the IlartierdSteam Iloller
Inspection and Insurance company, the
Orient Flre Insurance company, the Schuyler
Klectrle Light ceuiiany, the Holyeko ater
Pew or company, of which he was the presi
dent ; the Hartferd 811k company and the
Union Manufacturing company. Tbe last
two concerns have been In a receiver's hands
since Piunkell's flight. Ilartholemew was also
a director In the Insane retreat and In tlie
Hartferd hospital, and treasurer of the Wat Wat
klnsen library, or which he was ene et the
trustees. He was vice president or the Ktate
.Saving bank nnd n memlier of the corpora
tion et Trinity college He is Indebted te the
Holyeko Water Power com pany. butlnslders
say that the company is fully protected.
Among some el the silk cempaules paper
with his indersement Is f.100,000 and or the
Union cemiatiy 150,000, already known.
His own Individual paer is out te an oxtent
net known and also the paper of his son, in
dorsed by hlmseir for a considerable sum,
but the amounts are net yet known.
The treasurer of the Flerida Construction
oempany, Willi which Ilartholemew was
connected, ascertained soveral days age that
there bad been slight misappropriations of
its funds and has been lu the city for the
purpose el settling the matter. The less has
been completely adjusted and will net ex
ceed f 10,00a). The treasurer says that IJar IJar IJar
tholemow's past services te the company
have been worth te It mere tliau the amount
et its less by him. Whother certain trusts
which be held sutler, and, ir se, te what ox ex
tent, Is net yet clear.
Bartholemew Is 70 years old and has been
iu business iu Hartferd slnce 1M2. He has
been president or the Holyeko Wuter Power
company slnce K.'.i and has dene much le
make It a success.
A YKtlV I.AlUli: UOItKOWKU.
In ISJS he was elected a director of the Chi
cago tV, Northwestern railroad and remained
In the beard until 1Se7, being associated with
Kamuel J. Tllden, William B. Ogden and
ethers. He was a trustee of tbe Hartferd,
Pravldonce it FishkiU rallreid for twenty
years, and president of the old Bosten, Hart Hart
eord ,V Krle read for threo years, and also its
receiver. Hecently he was the receiver of
the (ulmoment Iren funiaces iu West Vir
ginia, and was connected with many ether
concerns. He has always been a large bor
rower, never until recently furnishing col
lateral or making n statement, but giving the
hanks an opportunity te take his paper, and
ir they docllued going elsewhere nnd always
paying oil these that, Having taken His paper,
questioned it afterward.
He was suppesed te have a large property,
though It was net lu sight, ills business
Judgment was much seughtaud he rendered
many valuable services gratuitously. Heme
baiiKH refused his puier beeause of hlsrotlceut
maimer, but nearly all have Mime lu seme
form. It is estimated that (300,000 is held In
Hartferd and much elsewhere. It Is put at
(1,000,000, but no one knows the exact
amount. He will be thrown in Insolvency,
thus removing attachments and prier claims.

stated that Uoerge M. Bartholemew has been
robbing tbe cempaules in which he Is Inter

that this was the taut was the statement made
byalriend et T. F. Plunkett, te tlie eirect
that Bartholemew was the cause of

Whrthe Administration Is ApnniTed,
The letter of Postmaster Gcneral Vilas te a
Democratic ratification meeting at Mllwau Mllwau Mllwau
koe, sela fertli briefly tbe grounds upon
which, lu bis opinion, tbe Cleveland admin
istration may claim te have tloserved the ap
probation of the entlre country, and particu
larly of the national Democracy, whose
premises of reformed methods or govern
ment and better results have already in large
part been rodeomod. The predictions freely
made when President Cleveland took olllce
have net, he observes, lieen verllled. Ne
national calamity has rosulted lrem the op
erations et the Democratic administration ;
the public sorvice lias net been Imbecile; the
Hnances have net been ruinously managed j
therovenuen have net been Imperfectly col
lected or Injudiciously squandered ; pensions
have net geno unpaid ; publie lands have net
been lest, and, Hnally. te close the list of
prophecies that have failed, the colored peo peo poe
plo liave net been relegated te servitude. On
the contrary, the buslness of the country has
revived under Democratic auspices, and In
each of the particulars Just enumerated an
excellent record has been made. The ex
penditures or tbe government have been re
duced during the past Hscal year by nearly
f 18,000,000, desplte the Incroase of 7,000,000
for pensions. The reformation of the civil ser
vice has progressed steadily. Offensive par
tisans, lnceiniietents and supornutnerarios
hare been romevod from olllce and a better
class of men put in their places. The dectrine
that a civil otllcer must be a irty laborer
has been tiorsistentiy discountenanced.
"Anethor result, bright with premise te the
republic's luture," the postmaster geueral de
clares, "Is the completo restoration of har
mony and geed feeling between the sections
of the country a result which only could
have ceme by the success of a national party."
Such a parly will net conteut it-self with ob
solete Issues. It leeks te future beneUtste
the iieeple, and, unlike its chlef opponent,
does net tlnd its chlef Inspiration in the con
templation of "reveuges for the past."

Cut together the threads or conversation they

Just as they would seme buslness problem,
and they reach a conclusion which must be
accepted as almost Indisputable The Judg
ment or these men, as we hear It expressed
upon tbe cars and at the hotels, where we
chance te fall In with them, Is that Cbauncey
F. Black will be the next governor of Penn

this boiler, and they de net hositate te put
themselves en record as prephets, regardless
of thelr own political opinions, ler many or

Iftbeflsh-way is put iu successrul opera
tion we have no doubt our up river friends
will eat shad until the bones stick out llke
the quills en a porcupine. But it will lie as
expensive a dish as ever, for it is a notorious
fact that Columbians pay mero for shad here
at home than Is asked abroad, se that our
friends might as well use the express olllce
as the Uah-way, se far as prices are con
corned. It is also a fact that the run of shad
at Columbia Is each year growing lighter,
largely ou account of the gill nets used at the
mouth or tbe Susquebanua. This, coupled
with the various tricks ferdrlving back tnese
timid flab, will be matters for the state au
thorities te leek Inte. It Is a silly notion that
Columbians are averse te having the shad go
abeve the dam. We are humanitarians and
feel that unless seme or the up river maws
have fresh shad thrown into tliem seen,
there will be an epidemic or lockjaw. The
