Lately he decided that ho would bo
safer away from Buffalo, end want to
ScrentOS. where he represented the
sain firm. It was on a return trip to
Buffalo that he was arrested, it b-inj:
feared that be intended goiua to Can-
adi.
Wiltshaw was taken before Commle-
stoU'T bairehiM, ana remanded to l in
until an order for his removal t New
York can be obtained from judge
l ose at I 'ica. 1 his is expected to ar
rive Wednesday.
WiPshaw admitted his identity, but
refused to say anything In bis defense.
Wiltehaw, or as he was known dur
ing his career in Scrantoa, cimi here
last September as the repr.'sentulivj, as
be claimed, of the Standard Stock and
drain exchange, of Baffilo. He waa
accompanied by a man and woman, the
former a rather sportive looking pr-
son dressed much aft:T tbe stvU of the
class of males one finds at a well regu
lated race track. The woman had
blonde hair of the home-made style,
and the trio created much attention
whenever they made thtir appearance
npon theavenno or occupied prominent
chairs at the Academy of Music.
Watkins' two companions left the
city after a stay here of several weelrn.
Watkins conducted himself most re
spectably, attended quite closely to hie
business and won a large circle of ac
quaintances. All with whom be came
in contact were greatly pleased by his
gentlemanly manners and charming
personality.
3VQQIXD WITH THE CASH.
Harry C. Wiltshaw disappeared in
November, 1801, and five months later
it was discovered that he had robbed
the I'nited States National Bank of
abnnt ijWO.OOU. He is of English birth,
and entered the employ of the bank in
aa an office boy. He was promot
ed until he became the bookkeeper in
charge of the individual ledger. Some
irregularities were found in bis books,
and he was asked to explain them. He
did not do so satitfactorily, yet was
thought to have been merely carelees
and not criminal Then he left the
emplny of the bank and disappeared.
Soon afterwara developments led to
a thoronirh examination of the indi
vidual ledger, It was found that
Wiltn'haw bad been doing aoras re
markaWe juggling with figures Ha
had practiced deception on an exten
sive soale.
Efforts were than made to find the
yoong Englishman, bnt in vain, Not
the slightest trace of him could be dis
covered. A short time ago, however,
a enstomer of the bank saw him in
Scranton. Wiltahaw was playing pool
in the Wyoming honse. i lie New
Yorker knew him, and Wiltshaw, while
he rioded salutation, apparently avoided
conversation. On retnrniiiL.' to this
city the depositor mentioned this in
cident et the bank. He did not know
that Wiltshaw was a fugitive from
jnstic.
WANTED TO KT-ACII CASAPA.
A detective wos at once imt to
Scranton to watch Wiltshaw. while an
effort was made to liava him indicted
hare. The federal grand jurv was
called together on Saturday tv Assist
ant United States Attorney Mott. and
an indictment was found In the mean
time, a telegram was received from the
detective in Scranton saying that the
clerk had taken a train for Buffalo, on
Ills way to Canada. A telegram led to
bis arrest in Buffalo
The indictment charges Wiltshaw
with making false entrb-e in the ledger
of $.VX each on S-pt. 33, Oct. 0 and 18,
and Nov. 0, all iu 18111. All this mani
pulation was done with the nceonnt of
George U. Roy-ston, agent for u Southern
distillery, whose nffloe ia at 53 South
William street At one time Koyeton
bad to meet a draft, but bis account
at the United States National was in
adauuate for this bvLoOO. Wiltshaw
suggwated that he would be glad to
lend Royston this. The offer whs ac
cepted and the clerk simply transferred
this snrn te Royetnn'a credit. He
balanced his book by Rlmply taking
'pat amount from another account.
Then when the money was repaid,
Wilisbaw pocketed it. He altered
Royalon's ncoountsat other timet.
Wiltshaw nlBO kept cne'i given him
for deposit by the keeper of a cafe
where ho took hit luncheon. Tbe clerk
would enter tile money on me pass
book and in bis ledger, but tbe teller
wonld never eee tho caeb.

FINANCES BOUND.
A marked feature In tbe general depreo
sum ot basinets here Is the tew failures
thai have o.vurred among S ruuton bnsi
ness house', mid these were incHtly ol a
minor character. Not one of our banks or
bankbia houses were affected They all
passed through the panic without trouble
and were tuiiv aide to meet all demands
made upon then. Tho norrmicv famine
was of short diiratiou, and on Dee. 90 our

collieries within the city limits Jan. It
were working full time or nearly 10, They
produced daring the year 1886, g,8U,8M

8911 men.
The Hcranton Traction company, under
the able general management el Mr. u. H
Archer, bos made rapid strides during the
past year. It is now operating thirty
miles "of electric roads within the city
limits, and six miles of suburban roads
It also has franchises for fifteen miles more
within the citv limits. It is also the lessor
and operator of the Srrantou ami Carbon
dale and Scranton and Pittaton systems
During tho year I8938&00,000 have been ex

Past experience has fully demonstrated
the usefulness, in tha grea'or development
of our city, of this organisation, composed
of able representative business men alive
to the city's Interests aud foreniott in all
that teuds to her prosperity. Its general
work has been s unewhst impeded by the
pressure of barj times during the past
year, but there is no ronton for discour
agement. Durinf the past year we have strongly
and conscientiously advocated union with
the various sectional boards of tradein the
city, but without success. It is to be hoped
that the question will not be allowed to
drop, but that greater efforts will bs put
forth to effect this desirable union.

their church on Sunday. The servile was
unsurpassed in interest nnd waa one of the
most Impressive services ever witnessed.
It stands unique in tho records of Presby
terianism in that borough. This increase
iu membership must be largely attributed
to the oHruent Christian labors of Kev.

When Councilman Rnbathao says be
struck a snag In the form of a large sum of
money, whereby tbo Atkinson property is
referred to as having railed ltspiice from
1 vki to $l),S0U, he makes u mistake. There
is u strip of ground about thirty-nine feet
between father s house and mine which
they thought was a lot and when the en
giner measured they said It was not wide
enough for a street. We bad nevr been
asked bow much wo would take fur this
piece of ground.
Mr. Phillip, the city engineer, sent a
man over to ssk me what I would take for
my house and lot, as they wanted flf I v
feet, and I told thorn I did not want to sel ,
but 1 thought I ought to have SJ,."s70, as ll
would cost quite a sum at prt-seut to get a
home. David l Atkinson.
