The Flight of a Bank Cashier.
Mr. Oliver II. Miller, acting Cashier of
the Croton River National Band of Brew
sters, N. Y., and editor of the Republi
can papers at White Plains and Brewsters,
has been missing since Monday night lost.
He took the 7 P. M., train at Brewsters,
saving that he was going to White Plains
to stay over night, as ho bad some extra
work to do there. Ho met Harry Fox,
foreman of his ofllco, on the depot platform
and told him he was going to PeekBkill and
that he would return to Brewsters in the
morning. Then he stopped on the train,
saying to Fox, " if anybody inquires about
me, tell him where I have gone." Mr. Mil
ler did not go to Pcckskill. Ho was seen
ou Tuesday In Now York, since which
time nothing has been heard from him.
Mr. Foster, the cashier, and Mr. James
E. Kelly the President, having satisfied
themselves that Mr. Miller had absconded,
began an Investigation of his accounts.
Enough has been ascertained to warrant
the belief that Miller is a defaulter to a
considerable amount.
Mr. Miller received a salary of $1,000 a
year, and since his absence the officors say
they have evidence that he has kept fast
company, and spent a great deal of money.
It is thought by many that he has eloped
with a young woman, who mysteriously
disappeared on the same day, and on whose
account a colored man has been arrested on
suspicion of knowing where she is.
The result of the examination of the
bank's books will not be known for several
days. But the depositors will be secured
against loss, as the bank has a capital of
over 1300,000, with ft national circulation
of 175,000. The bank was established In
1805. Miller has been the acting cashier
since 1807. Ho was an export accountant,
and enjoyed the entire confidence of the
officers and directors, and it was not until
unmistakable proof bad faced them that
they suspected him of dishonesty. Mr.
Miller is a nativo of Broome county N. Y.,
and went to Brewsters about seven years
ago, where, three years later, he married
Miss Elizabeth Merrick, a wealthy and re
spectable young lady, with whom he lived
happily until a few months ago when some
trouble was bred by joalousy. But the
difficulty was settled, and about a month
ago Mrs. Miller paid her father a visit in
Western New York. She returned . home
on Tuesday, the next day after her hus
band's disappearance, and was shocked at
the news. Mr. Miller made no provision
for the support of bin family. He neither
collected bills nor sold property belonging
to him. But claims against him have bsen
presented for more than the value of prop
erty. Both of his newspapers are said to
be encumbered for more thau they are
worth.
Mr. Miller is about 85 years of age, has
black eyes, a largo brown moustacho, and
is really ft handsome man. In his flight he
did not even take a change of clothing.
. Congressional Autograph.
The Postmaster-General has issued an
order allowing members of Congress to
place their autograph signatures on printed
books, pamphlets, documents, &c, as in
the good old days of franking, although
they will still have to pay the postage.
This order is said to have h,een made at the
earnest solicitation of members of the
House. In the duys when each Congress
man was allowed to send any amount of
matter through the mails at the public ex
pense, it was customary for members to em
ploy clerks who were kept busy addressing
documents bearing the stamped autograph
of the Congressman. . Borne members went
so far as to have a list of tho voters of his
district prepared, and mt of these got a
document of some kind during the term,
bearing ft fuc smile of tho Hon. It must
not be supposed that this kind of election
eering was without its fruits. Many a
man was tickled by receiving some speech
or useleBU document, tickled by tho idoa
that the Congressman of the district had
remembered him personally. Few were
aware that their names were taken in order
from ft prepared list by the Congressman's
clerk, and that the members name was
counterfeited by ft metalic stamp. One prin
cipal reason why members of Congress ha
ted to give up the franking privilege, was
because they set no little value upon it as ft
cheap means of electioneering. .For this
reason the Postmaster-General was earnest
ly solicited to make the order which he has
just issued. Citizens generally can not
even write their Initials on printed matter,
but Congressmen and other officials can
certify that the packages contain nothing
but printed mutter and affix their cherished
autograpbio signatures thereto. . What is
the use of being ft Congressman unless you
can have privileges Which are denied to
common people f Laneailer Intelligencer.
Mjstcrleus Baggage.
A week ago last Sunday ft mammoth
Saratoga trunk arrived at Indianapolis from
New York, which created somo suspicion.
Again last Monday morning the same train
brought ft similar trunk into the depot of
that city. Both of these had through
checks to 8t Louis. Tho contents of this
mysterious baggage made the employes of
the railroad company deathly sick by their
nauseating stench, something arising like
that which would come from corpse In
decaying condition. The trunks were
forwarded to Bt. Louis and the Chief of
Police of that city telegraphed to in regard
to It. Borne Infamy will probably be un.
vailed there.
