THE CASHIER'S DOUBLE CRIME
Isuoo F. Abbott, a Trusted Bank Official,
Kills Ilimsclf When About to lie
Arrested for a Shortugo
of About $80,000.
By the United Press.
Dover, N. II., Jan. 14. Isaac F. Ab
bott, an old and respected cLtlzen of
this place, and cashier of the lXiver
Nation bank, was found (tday to be a
defaulter to an amount estimated to
be about $80,000, and when officers went
to Ills residence to arrest him this after
noon, he shot and killed himself.
The discovery of the defalcation was
made by Bank Examiner Dorr, who be
gan an examination of the bank last
Friday. He asked Mr. Abbott certain
quostlons which the cawlilor said flie
would answer next imornlng. When the
examiner came again Saturday morn
ins It was found that the safe, could
not be opened, and Mr. Abbott failed
to appear. He was at 1omo and salld
that he would explain all Monday.
The refusal of the cashier to say any
thing was brought to the attention of
the bank officials, und Examiner Dorr
at once declared Abbott a defaulter.
Mr. Abbott remained at home all day,
and Chief of Police Fogerty dutailed
jjollce officers to guard the house. The
object of sotting the time lock ahead
was to give him time-. Abbott stated
that the vault would open this mnmlng
at 9 o'clock. When t'lie vault was un
locked Bank Examiner Dorr posted a
notice that the bank had suspended
business until Its affairs could bo
straightened out.
The Fatal Shot.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon a brother
of Abbott heard the report of a pistol,
and rus-hing to his brother's room,
found him lying on the lloor' wlth'hls
face shattered and covered with blood.
Life was extinct. It Is believed the
dead ca&hior has left a detailed state
ment for Examiner Dorr.. Intense ex
citement prevails, as Abbott was also
cashier of the Five-Cent Savings bank,
and was city treasurer.
Abbott was born here and was cash
ier of the bank for nearly twenty years,
lie was clerk In the bank before that.
The Dover National bank Is quite an
old 'Institution and .has a capital stock
of $100,000. and a surplus of JL'O.OOO.
State Bank Commissioners Lyford
and Hatch arrived today and took
oharge of the Savings bank. They
make the sta tement that the bank Is all
(right. Mr. Abbott's bond was issued
for $20,000 by the North American
Ouarantee company of Montreal, who
have been apprised of the default. The
city's money on deposit Is said to be
safe. The stockholders will .have to
make pood the deficiency In the bank.
Defaulter Abbott, of the Dover Na
tional bank, who committed - suicide
just before he was to be arrested this
aUornoon. left In his brother's posses
sion a statement of "his defalcations In
an envelope addressed :to Examiner
Dorr. That gentleman promised to
make 'the statement public, but said,
after due consideration, that he would
imt give It out. He said, however, that
the ntatement was not detailed, but
only left clues for him to follow. He
could not state the amount of the
shortage, but lit is stated by some In
siders that the amount Is not far from
JS0.000. It Is .hinted that Abbott has
mot been a thief in the common sense
if the word, but made his flrst Inroad
on the money belonging to the bank
to help out a friend.

They Object to the Mcction of a Kcpnbli
can Senator.
By the United Press.
Butte, Mon., Jan. 14. A committee
of twelve from four local American
Protective association lodges left for
Helena this morning with an address
issued by State President J. D. Cald
well to the members of the legislature,
protesting against the election of the
Republican national committee chair
man, Hon, Thomas Carter, as United
States senator.
Carter is a Roman Catholic and the
address contains a violent denunciation
of alleged papal Interference with civil
and political affairs in this country and
warns the legislators in the name of the
American Protective association not to
elect a Romaivlfit to the senate on pen
alty of political death. The address
created a tremendous sensation, and it
is believed if the American Protective
association In the legislature obey or-

Accompanied by half the nobility of
Austria, went to Carlsbad Springs for
the recovery of his health. Six thou
sand, six hundred horses, so the town
records say, were necessary to convey
the company to the place.
The virtues of the water Is as great
ot the present-day as it was in the
time of Charles 1 1., and although th
expense attached to a journey thither
is not as great now as it was then, we
arc not all wealthy enough to under
take it For such the virtue of the
Carlsbad Spring is extracted. The
Carlsbad Sprudcl Salt, obtained by
evaporation, containing all the solid
constituents of the water, can be ob
tained at every drug store.
It is the very best remedy for ca

' INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
A new electric railway Is to be built
In Detrolt.'and run on a three-cent fare.
It Is said that the two fields in which
the electric motor lias of Jate niadj
greatest inroads are those of mining
and of iron manufactures, and that in
these the development compare In im
portance, If not in magnitude, with the
advances In electric railroading.
Production of Iron nnd steel is going
on 'in excess of demand, but manufac
turers expect that necessary repairs,
renewals amd additions to plants by
raillroad companies, cur manufacturers
and other Industrial enterprises will
have a stimulating influence In the near
future.
Final notice ihaa beon sent to the
creditors of tlhe Reading Rolling Mill
company, and Corrode & Saylor, In
corporated,, that application will be
made to the courts for a writ dissolving
the receivership and restoring the busi
ness to the control of the two corpora
tions on Feb. I next.
During 1S94 the Pennsyh aula Steel
works made more girder rails and
street railway crossings and switohes
than ever before, nbout two-thirds of
the rails bt.'lng girders. There was inn
encouraging activity in bridge and
structural building, and a fair demand
for slabs and 'blooms. The company
lias had three furnaces In blast nearly
all year. December was a fairly active
month In certain (branches of this big
plant.
The gross earnings of railroads In
this country in 1SSI4, as given by the
Inanclal Chronicle, ehuw, as was ex
pected, monumental losses. The aggre
gate decrease as compared with 1X93
was more than $112,000,000, and If com
pared with 1S92 the loss is $lLi",000,000.
These figures are only preliminary and
the Chronicle estimates that complete
returns will increase the gross loss as
compared with 1893 to $130,000,000, or at
the rate, say of $12,000,000, per month.
The employ of the Delaware and
Hudson mine department under the
supervision of Assistant Superinten
dent Patten, of Olypluant, are engaged
In sinking a "bore hole" near the Lee
homestead on the south side of Carbon
dale. The hole, whileh will be ninety
fctit deep and largo enough to admit
pipe fourteen inches lln diameter, is
for the purpose of draining the Powder
ly mine. The pump will be one of tho
most powerful in that section.
The application of William A. Dick
for the appointment of a master to con
duct the annual meeting of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad company was, as ex
pected, refused, and the petition dis
missed. Thus the Dicks have lost an
other point In their speculative fight
against the present management of the
company. Indeed, they have suffered
nothing but defeat from the start, and
the climax will be reached at the an
nual meeting of the company today in
Philadelphia, When the Wilbur man
agement will be cordially re-eleoted.
The following' fiulnts are taken from
the recent annual report of President
Wards, of the Reading railroad: "It
takes, roughly eaklng, an expendi
ture of from $100,000 to $150,000, and
about two years of time to fully develop
a colliery capable of producing 100,000
tons per annum. The anthracite trade,
while dt has periods of advance nnd
temporary retreat, 'has on the whole
grown for many years with great
steadiness at th rate of nbout 1,250,000
tons per annum.X The Reading com
panics' legitimate shaire of this in
crease Is from 250,000 to 300,000 tons per
annum. This increase alone would re
quire the expenditure of from $300,000
to $400,000 per annum to keep always
prepared for the Increasing business
The cost per ton of mining coal dulling
last year was $2.45 2-10, which Is less
tluin the cost in any previous year of
the past fifteen years, with the excep
Hon of 1887, when It was 1-10 of a cent
lower."
As result of negotiations wh'lchihave
been pending for some time the Butler
breaker and the right to mine the coal
beneath the Stroud and Chamberlln
tract have just passed Into the hands
of William Oriinths, of West Pittston
Morgan D. Rosscr, of Kingston, and
A. G. Cilnrore, of Scranton, who will
soon begin operations. The lessees are
experienced coal operators. Mr. Orif-
fltihs Is a civil engineer. Mr. Rosser
has for years had charge of the col
Ilerles of the Kingston Coal company.
He will be the superintendent of this
company. His son, who has had the
benefit of his father's experience In the
coal business, will remove to Carbon
dale and themlne will beunder his care.
Mr. (Hlmore Is the senior member of
the wholesale grocery firm of Oilmore
& Duffy, with an enviable business
record. . The product of the colliery
will be shipped over the Erie road. A
large number of hands will be om
ployed.

(ACTION
TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milliriK STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Wushbu'rn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
S laced Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
rands.
