Celebration of Its Hoventyftrat Anni versary en Sunday. The seventy-first anniversary of the 1-encastcr City Bible society was held en Sunday evening. Trinity Lutheran, Pres byterian and SU Paul's held aorvice at Trinity; the Church of Qed and Olivet' Baptist held union sorvlces atthoMora attheMora atthoMera vlan church ; the congregations of St. Jehn's Lutheran and West Mission wero present. Rev. J. B. Funk Conducted the services at the Covenant' U. B. church, and Rev. Smith at the Strawberry street A. M. E. church. At the First Reformed church a union service was held, Rev. Dr. Tltrel preslded, assisted by Rev. C E. Haupt, and Rev. Dr. Vernen, of the Duke strcet M. E. church, preached the sermon. Following Is the report of "Rev. Haupt, president of the society tferl8iD-1890, which was read in all the city ehurches last even ing : Beloved in Christ : Te open the new period of the blessings of Ged: is te have opportunity for grateful review of the old. We leek back a moment that we may catch the inspiration te leek forward the mere steadily. It is speclally'npproprlnte that Uie Bible society of ene of the eldest cities of Pennsylvania should be colo celo cole bratlnglts continuance among ns; we lay te-night a wreath of evergreen upon our soventy-tirst milestone It was upon Pennsylvania soil that Christopher Saur prlnted the flrst German Blble made in America, in 1743 ; and upon paper iriade In Pennsylvania the first Blbles in the Eng lish language were prlnted and bound by Rebert Altken, in Philadelphia, In 1782. Se Important a step was recognized by the Pennsylvania assembly, who leaned Mr. Altken IW te carry out the enter prise. In this way the entire common wealth silently took part In the holy work. This Is suggestive. Moreevor the Con gress of the United States, which met In Philadelphia that same year, after the fav fav fav orable report of Its examlnlng committeo, recommended the work of Mr. Altken " as subservient te the interests of religion" te the Inhabitants of this country. Our City Blble society propesos te footer the circulation of the pure word of Ged by hoi ping te sustain the American Blble so ciety, In Its great work of Issuing from the press and distributing, by sale. or gift, copies of the Hely Scriptures in all the liv ing tongues of the world. The work extends te farthest lands and forms the cause the nucleus of all true missionary operations for "all nations," In the forty socletios of India, thlrty-three of China and thirty-three of Africa, os well as the many elsewhere. It Is advancing in lauds which, like Asiatic and African areas, ,h ive uevcr yet had the Blble ; in ethers in which the ence possessed Bible has becn lest In thocase of Palostlne, Syria, Ara bia, Persia and Northern Africa ; in lands of Europe and Asia whure the Blble has long been hidden. In our own country and stste there is also a vast work needing prompt attention. The wasted and desolated regions, the blind and the grcit ever flowing mottled tide of Immigration with Its varl-colerod styles of language, must noeds be aided. It is the same In our city en a smaller scale. A work se worthy and se far reaching dare net be neglected. In view of the preeminent value te the morals and safety of this city, the state, the nation vd the world, of this Important intorest and the Increasing demands of the society, the enlargement of the lists of membership, the generous, hearty swelllng of the offer ings, contributions and bequests te this most admirable cause, are, ns they ought te be, held out te the church as great motives for Christian endeavor. This Pentecostal Werk of the by-geno year has been truly blest. It is stated that nine-tenths of theontire population of the glebo may read of the wonderful works of Ged from the Boek of Life In their own languages. The Blble, It is said, has been made the text book of moral philosophy of every college of Japan, and flve hun dred wemen of Tokie and Yokohama have united te present a handseme Blble te the Japaucse empress. Jesus gave the bread te the disciples for the Galilean multltude ; and liken Ibe the first great step of all true mission work is te put Inte the hands of every missionary te overy land a Blble In the vernacular. This work Is a-delng. And thore are flve hundred colporteurs In the city of Londen alene. The sale "of the weekly parts of the Illustrated Blble at Milan haH reached ninety thousand. Twe huudred and thirty languages are new the agents of communicating Ibe gospel, and one huu huu deod and forty-six missionary societies are proclaiming it. Along the Kile, from Alexandria te the First Cataract, the sale dnilng the year of six thousand, six hundred and flfty-one Bibles Is reported. And from the far oil' New Hebrides comes the answer that Inte twclve of the languages of these distant Isles Is the Werd of Oed belug rendered. Ne soenor had the desolating Heed swept the passosef the Cenemaugh than efforts te roplace the lest Blbles wero made. And hew much the Blble is doing for our own beloved land! It embodies our real liberty and the abolition of the slave. It gave us our constitution. Its moral ollect en the bevial and civil llve Is peace, sympathy geed will. Be It found in every pulpit, courtt'scbeol. hospital and home in the land ; as well as In the hand of ouch iminl grant that comes within our borders. Every Blble prlnted and read Is a spirit ual ferce. And in our own community the work done has net been trilling during the year. The attention of the public lias been dlrocted te this vital work by the print ing and publication of the constitution of the society. Blbles and Testaments have been sold or bestowed whorevor noeded. But, funds supplied, the work could be far better dene hore and olsewhore. Fer instance, the Americau llilile society received last year the sum of JI'JD.BOJ, much less than the previous year, of which the offerings of the ehurches wero stated te-be but $10,200. Is net this truly tee Hmall an amount for such a great object ? The fact Is that the society oxpended $5'!, 030 mero than it received during the year, and gave n copy te 073,900 families whom they, searching, found without the Werd. Thus organized, we aim te multi ply and disseminata the Blble, as the rev cue efa dying world, the beacen light of this free land, the Jewel of wisdom, in the homes and hearts of our city. If through the bonevolonee of Christians a system of co'pertage could be organized In this city, much could be accomplished eternity would rove.il the result. The formation of socletios of Blble readers in each of our ehurches, te bring and read, te the aged, the sick, the blind and illiterate, will beget a greater leve for the Scriptures lu the hearts ei uetu reader and nearer. The age in which we llve has printed and circulated vastly mero copies of the Blble than any previous jvorled. Ged answers such work with Ills continued and multi told blessing. If we perpetuate and spread this geed inlltienre, -we shall see our poeplo rlse te yet higher and mero glorious planes of Christianity, attain te a neble citizen ship, with strict consistency in social llfe ana porseual behavior, amid a vast in crease of material comforts and a marvel ous advanoe In all these Improvements willed lengthen life's average, whlle they make It mero healthful, helpful and happy.

CASHIER BAUD, OF LINCOLN, ASSISTS BIS FBIF..W, MERCHANT HULL Ills Accounts Discovered te Be Wrong Last Week Whlle ITe lallenMiIll-The Amount Dispened Of Abeut0,000. Fer the past forty-eight hours there have been rumors of a national bank tit the northern part of the county being in treuble. Sufficient could notbeloirnodon Saturday te warrant any publication. On Sunday the rumors assumed dofiulte shape and it was learned that the Institution In treuble was the Lincoln National bank, located at Lincoln, Ephrata township, The trouble was caused by Ellis Bard, the cashier, who for evor a year has been" making false entries In the books and uo ue celvlng the directors of ti.e institution for the purpose of assisting a friend. This friend Is F. W. Hull, lumber and coal doaler, at Ephrata, who traded tinder the name of F.W.Hull A Ce. The fraud perpetrated by Bard was dis covered during his lllness. He was kept away from the bauk-fer seme time. Samuel Nlssley, the prcsident of the bank, took charge of the bank's business during Bard's absence, and he seen dlscovered thore was something wrong with the bank's accounts. F. W. Hull A Ce. opened nn account with Uie Lincoln National bank In 18S3, and since that time his business transactions have been very heavy. Hull was caroless in his bcslness habits, was sued n number of times for bills, protested netes, etc., and his credlt was net of the host. Theso who knew of his business habits prodlcted that his iuselvcney was only a matter of time. In seme way Hull bocemo very Intlnnte with the -Lincoln bank's cashler, and the result or that Intimacy was that Bard bo be bo caieoa party te the schenie which has re sulted in his downfall, serious Inconvo Incenvo Inconve nlenco te his bendsmen and the bank of which he was a trusted officer. When President Nlssley saw that thore was somethlug wrong with the bank's ac counts he called the cashier's attention te the discrepancies. Bard donled all know ledge ofthelr being anything wrong. The beard of directors nt their meeting last woek Investigated the books and called Cashler Bard befere them and clesely quos ques quos tlenod him. He nt first perslstcd that thore Was nothing wrong with the boeks.but was cornerod and finally admltted that drafts, checks and protested notes of F. W. Hull, te the amount of about $20,000,wero entered en the bank's books os having been 'paid, although the same had net been paid. He produced theiu protested papers and handed them te the directers. A 'further Investigation shewed that when the Fldellty Trust company, of Cln Cln clnnati,fatled nearly $0,090 of that coucern's paper was held by the Lincoln bank. The notes of this institution wero troated the same as Hull's protestod paper and appear en the books of the bank as paid, whlle the fact Is that only a portion of thorn wero paid. The aggregate of fraudulent piper marked paid en the books, se far ns Inves tigated, foots up 920,070, but ether dovclop devclop dovclep inonts are oxpectod. An examination of the depositors' ac counts shows that thore are about $3,000 less' money In the bank than thore should be, and the account of tbe Lincoln bank with its Philadelphia correspondents show a shortageof abeut7,00J. TIicse shortages wero caused by the cashier credltlng Hull's account when netes due were net paid, and It Is net bclioved that Bard was bene fitted ene iota by his crooked transactions. When Hull was notlfled that the cashier's fraud had been dlscovered he promlsed te make geed the $20,000 he admltted owing the bank, and oxpecting him te make that amount geed in a day or two the affair was kept, quiet. Ills failure te de se en Satur day night was an Indication te the bank otllcers that he would net keep his premiso and the croekednoss was made public en Sunday. The rumor seen spread and the wrong doing of the cashier wns the general thome of conversation when It reached this city, whero the partles nre well known. A bank examiner has been sent for and Is expected te-day, when a thorough ox ex ox ammallen of the bank's affairs will be made and If It Is found that a fraud was perpetrated, us is prebable from the abeve statoment, prosecutions will fellow. P. W. Hull was nt ene time ropertod te be wealthy. The firm of Reyor A Hull did a large business and steed high. Mr, Reyer withdrew from it, en account of Hull engaging In the tobacco business with his brether In Kansas City, Me. This business was net profitable and the Hulls lest considerable meney. Hull has been a heavy borrewor of money from Lancaster banks. Rumerhas it that J. L. Steinmetz, esq., is en his paper for a very large amount, but that he is so se cured by ajudgmeut te cover the amount of his endorsement. Hull is a cousin of Mr. Steinmetz and they have been clese friends for years. Ellis Bard, the cashier of the Lincoln bank, Is n young man, the seu of R. W. Bard, peer director. He lias been con nected with the institution slnce It started. He was a teller for seme years, and In De cember, ISSfl, when W. J. Suavely, the cashler, resigned te become the cashier of the Stoeltou bank, Bard was elected cashier. He gave bend in the sum of$25, 000, and his bendsmen are Datilel Irwin, Jehn M, Stuber, 11. W. Bird, A. B. Hoi Hei linger, Ellas Sahm und Samuel Hauen- steiu. The bank has u capital of 5M,000 and the last report shows a surplus and un divided profits of a'jeut 811,000. It pajs five ier com. te the stockholders. Yeung B.tid enjeyed the best of reputa tien prier te this oxpesuro. He steed high in the community and was the la t ene in that vicinity who would have been suspected of wrong-doing. The assessment books show that Hull Is the Ownoref real cstate assessed atgl2,(i&Q and that he had ?l,200at Interest. This lest amount Is said te be Judgment notes for lumber sold and that he has actually nene of It lu his possession, having put it up as collateral for borrowed money. lie carries a geed stock of lumber and coal, but he docs net pessess near enough te pay the claims against him. The Lincoln bank U new without a cishler, Mr. Bard having reilgned. Ills resignation lias been accepted. Mr. Hull's liabilities nre variously esti mated between $80,000 and $100,000, but nene of his creditors are lu a os!tIen te Issue exoiutten .except Mr. Stelumctz. The ether creditors may sue and obtain Judgment but bofero Judginent could be obtained the elocution en Mr, Stelumetz's Judgment, wtu'.d be Issued and that would shut them out; Mr. Hull lias sufficient real estate nod personal property te mero than lay Mr. StelumeU's claim.

TOO MUCH Hl'AQi: REALISM. Acter Vnnderfelt Nenrly Kxeutcd At tbe Breuilwny Tlientre, Nw Yerk. Acter Vandorfelt, of " The Prlhce and Pauper" company, was nearly hanged by the neck till he was dead en the stnge of the Broadway theatre New Yerk, en Thursday night. In the barn act, ns Miles Henden, he is set upon by n gang of vicious bumpkins, who rig up a tackle for oxecutlng him. The scene is quite realistic. Miles is steed upon seme stairs and the repe drawn tight. The signal for him te fall from the stairs and be suspended in the air is Uie roll of a drum, which proclaims the advent of the rescuing party headed by Elsie Leslie, the prince. The same sound should act ns a cue for the hanging party te loose the repe and let Mlles' loot touch the ground. On Thursday night the lynching experts mlssed thelr cue, and Mr. Vandorfelt was really suspended for aporied that seemed te him eternal. Little Elslo Leslie, the famous child actor of " Lord FauntloreyJ " was the first te rcalize the jtosttlen, nnd running forward she sei7ed the repe and herself began te loeson It. Ills threat was slightly injured, and he had te be cared for by a physician. Ne ene lu the uudlence noticed his plight, and the ghastly pale ness of his face was attributed te his acting.
