conveyance and took him te his home, Ne.
120 Lew street. Dr. L. A. Warren was sum
moned and he pronounced Mr. Smith te be
dead and said he had becn dead for seme
time.
Mr. Smith left his home en Saturday
morning in his usual health. He had
business which required his attention all

Wendel Klump, Jeseph Weaver, Frank
Deman, Jehn ICJiimp 'and David' D.
Koplinger.

from grip. The tliulltig of his body was
described as abeve stated. Tliore wero no
marks en his fuce ether than a Blight abra
sion en ene slde of it, which had struck

TIIE BIBLE SOCIETY.
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

Jehn's Lutheran and West Mission wero

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.

A BANK'S FUNDS TAKEN.
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.

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

Some of ihe men who have been en
gaged by the Law and Order society le act
as "dotectlves" de net bear the best of
characters, and nfter the hearing In the
cases ngalnst Jacob Zertninn and ethers en
Saturday the majority of the people were
pretty well disgusted with the efforts of
this soclety te reform the town. Some
roferonco was made te the men, who nctcd
the part oflnfermor, In Saturday's Intki.
t.iar.Nccn, and slnce then inore has been
learned of thcni.
One of the let Is JehnJI. Morten, who
was a witness against Jacob Zortman for
selling cigars en Sunday. Everybody nc
fpalnled with Mr. Kartman knows that he
Is a geed elUten and keeps ene of tlie best
nnd most respoclaUe. establishments In
Lancaster. He necommednldir' K&t only
poeplo of this city but travelers? nnd never'
befere has any charge been made ngalnst
him. New the public may have seme de
sire te knew who the men nre who testi
fied ngalnst him.
Morten came from the country, some semo some
whoro about Mnrtlcvllle or Rawllnsvllle.
Fer n time he dreve the wagon and assisted
In the grocery store of Jehn Ochs. He
was finally discharged by Mr. Ochs. Fer a
whlle he was agenl for an lnsurance com
pany, but of late lias been working off
and en in n laundry. Botweon times and en
Sunday he playslhepnrt ofadctpctlve. Fer
a time Morten was a promlnent momber
of Shinier Council, Jr. O. U. A. M, Tim
council started te "get up a uniformed rank
and somettung like f 18, which was raised
te defray part of the oxpensos, was given
te Morten, who was an officer of the coun
cil, te koep. He kept and spent It nnd the
council bus nover been nble te get It back.
Fer this and failure te pay his dues he was
fired from the council.
It i" charged that Morten last wlnter,
about Christmas, undertook te get out nn
advertising paper. He was te Insert cards
at very low rates and after collecting mouey
from different parties he put it in his
pocket and failed te get out the paper.
Morten Is probably 21 years of nge, and is
Inclined te be very " fresh, " ITe Is fend of
talking big, and seems anxious te Impress
poeplo with the Idea that he Is of Import
ance He Is fend of getting things Inte the
nowspapers whether they are right or
wrong. Rccently he met a ropertor iien
the strcet and gave him n number of itents
from the Buck. He hed thent nil copied
lu a book andafterwards the ropertor found
that he had copied them word for word
from a Lancaster paper of the night bofero.
Almest ovcrybedy knows "Bess" Itlt Itlt Itlt
tenhouse, and his character Is net of the
host. He is se tickled with the idea that
he Is n dotectlve that he went te Columbia
yesterday te commeuce operations. He Is
known there, as he formerly carried en
shoemaklng thore. He tried te purchase
cigars nt d lffe rent plnces, but failed, He
went Inte ene store and Insisted upon the
lady selling te lilm, but she rofused and
erdered him out. A number of railroaders
who wero in the store knew Vhat he was
after nnd wero en the vorge of handling him
very roughly.
Stener, another dotectlve, has been en
gaged for a short time soiling books.
The case against Mrs. Emma Elliett, who
was chaiged with selling cigars en Sunday
has been disposed of. She admitted that
she sold the goods and a fine wns imposed
upon her. She was given until te-day te
pay the fine and costs. Mrs. Elliett says
that Stener und Morten came te her aud
ceaxed her te sell thorn cigars, and she
finally did. She traces the case te " Bess "
