WilY WILLIAMS RESIGNED
He I'scd tlic Money of the Traders'
National Dank.
SHOKT OYEK THIRTY THOUSAND
Bank Fully Protected by Collateral
Security Ho I'ut I'panJ by Hist liontl.
Lost the Money in Schuylkill
Coal Mining Operations.
A. 11. Williams, who, until about two
weeks ago, was cashier of the Trarteis'
National bank. In short about $:!.'!. oihi
in liisacrounts with that institution, and
on this account he was asked to re
sign, although at the time of his resig
nation it w'as unnounceduhat the- les
son was u pressure of ouUlde business
Interests. The directors of the bunk
have personally made good tlie defic
iency pending settlement with the Fi
delity and Cusnulty company, of New
York city, which la on .Mr. Williams'
binid for $.'IO,tMH.
At the last examination of the cash
let's accounts, lnude by the examining
committee of the board of directors
two weeks ugo. the shortage wusi dis
covered. Two notes were found in the
Mils discounted that hail' been made
und discounted by the cashier without
the knowledge nr consent of the liourd
und tit" proceeds devoted to his own
use. These notes were accompli niod by
collateral, which Ik almost worthies.
The directors would not countenance
the transaction, but immediately re
placed the notes and collateral wjtb
cash to more than cover the amount.
This replacement was made by the di
rectors personally to temporarily mnka
the loss good until the collection of Mr.
. Illianis' bond of $:;1.uii0 front the Fi
delity company.
.Mr. Williams was Interviewed by a
Tribune reporter nt his home on Vine
Mii et near Jefferson nvernie, last night.
Ho said: "It is true that I owe the
bank a considerable sum of money,
against which It has my ohliRutlons.
An effort is being made to settle the
matter In full. The bunk will not lose
a penny." Further I linn this Mr. Will
iams would make no statement.
Lost bv I nwlso Inctmciit-.
Tt appears that Mr. Williams lost the
iniinov in unwise investments) in
Schuylkill cool companies, which are
now practically defunct. He took from
the bank ubout $:;:!.0OO to bold his Inter
est In these companies. For this
amount he turned in two notes, one his
own and the other signed by .Mrs. Will
lams. The collateral that he deposited
with them was for more than the
amount of the notes according to fure
value, but Is said not to be worth on
the market more than a few thousand
dollars, being stocks of the Schuylkill
companies, which have for gome time
been in financial distress.
John T. Porter, the recently elected
president of the Traders' bank, admit
ted the truth of the foregoing facts to a
Tribune reporter. He said that the
cashier's bond, with the amount that
might be secured from the sale of the
stock deposited us collateral with Mr.
Williams' notes, would make good the
deficiency. "The matter," said Mr.
I'orter. "will not have the slightest ef
fect upon the bank's finances, as we are
fully protected."
When asked If the bank officials
would take legal action against Mr.
Williams. Mr. Porter said: "I do not
know; the statement made in an after
noon paper that we would not, was not
authorized."
II ii nk Is in Splendid Condition.
The Traders' bank Is one of the sound
financial institutions of the city. It Is
a national bank, which Is considerable
protection to depositors, nnd is capi
talized at J:Ti0.omi. It has eleven direc
tors, all well-to-do business men. and
two of whom could make good any
probable financial trouble, which, how
ever, does not exist in the present case.
The two directors referred to are Jo
seph J. Jermyn. of this city, and At. 8.
Kemmerer. of Mauch Chunk. The lat
ter Is president of the First National
bank of Mauch Chunk, and a member
of the firm of Whitney & Kemmerer,
of New York city.
Mr. Williams came to this city in 18S5
as the representative of Bradstreet's
Mercantile agency. He was with the
mercantile agency until 1890, when the
Traders' bank was organized and he
was made its cashier, since whicn
time possibly but few men In Scranton
have had a better knowledge of local
credits. When a young man he was
employed in the Hanover, Park nnd
North Klver banks of New York city.
Immediately preceding his residence In
Scranton be was In the manufacturing
business in Newark.
J. II. ELLESTOX POIND DEAD.
lie Came Over from llnttermllk Falls and
lllow Out the Uas.
,T. H. Klleston, of Buttermilk Kails,
Wyoming county, blew out the gas in
the Arlington hotel, tit Franklin avenue
ami Spruce street. Wednesday night
nnd yesterday morning he was found
dead In bed.
K.IIcHton drove over from Buttermilk,
Falls Wednesday, arriving in the city
about 7 p. m. He was en route for
Port Jervis. where Ills brother lives,
and where he intended to sell bis horse
and carriage. After placing the turn
out In a livery stable he went to the
Arlington and registered. He was as
signed a room and the porter cau
tioned him not to blow out the gas.
Klleston replied that he was well versed
in the art of extinguishing gas and the
porter withdrew.
The guest left a call for six o'clock
yesterday morning and when the por
ter knocked nt that hour he was unable
to awaken Klleston. The door of his
room was thereupon forced open and
the occupnnt of the room was found
lyliifT on the bed dead. He was only
partially undressed. The room was
filled with gas which escnped from an
open Jet. Coroner Longstreet was no
tified and emnannelleii n Jury which
returned a verdict to the effect that
deuth was accidental nnd was due to
asphyxiation. .
The reains were taken In chnrgre by
Fndertoker Butlb anil yesterday after
noon were conveyed to Buttermilk
Falls. Klleston was 74 years of age.

ley -estate for settlement It being al
leged on the city's part that the damage
was ull due to the neglect of the Wy
oming house people to turn off the pies
sure from the abandoned supply pipe,
which broke and started all the trouble.
There may be some difficulty, how
ever, In fixing the responsibility on the
liandley estate and It may yet develop
that the Oan and Water company will
be held for the riamuge by reason of
the allegation that it should ha've
turned off the unused supply.

Meeting on the South Side.
H'MBEK OP ADDKESSES MADE
Attorney T. V. Powderly. Attorney
Charles K. Olver and William Daw

aens at Phillips' hull. Fig street, last
night. Tho rally was held under the
auspices of the Twentieth Ward Re
publican club. Thomas tirl filths, presi
dent of the club. Introduced Mr. Daw
son as the first speaker; the address
was brief and contained the pledge to
give to the people of Scranton a con
servative, honest and conscientious ser
vice as assessor.
Attorney Olver's speech began with
a congratulation to the members of the
club on the healthy activity of the or
ganization, lie lauded the Principles
of the Kepubllcun party and' referred
to Its policy In national affairs, as
against that of the Democratic purty,
of which the country has had a severe
trial.
He said that It wns as necessary for
Republicans to work for success at
home In local Issues as when the battle
for party principle Is being waged. The
nominees of the Republican party In
Scranton at the present time are m.vi
Whose slerliiikr worth commend them
j to the consideration of the voters and
he hoped that a proper appreciation of
this fact would he exhibited on election
day In the hnndsome majorities given
to each one of them.
He spoke for the viaduct over the
Delaware, Lackawanna und Western
railroad tracks on West Lackawanna
nvenue. By building It there will be
removed that, constant danger and
menace to life and limb that Is Immi
nent to those traveling from the West
Side to the central city or vice versa.
He appealed to the voters of the Twen
tieth ward to vote for the viaduct and
confer thereby n lasting benefit on the
people of the West Side.

PRACTICAL YOUNG PEOPLE.
They I'mbarked on the Sea of Matrimony
Without Indulging In Frills.
Henry Turner, of Park Place, nnd
Mary Perry, of Hawiey, were united In
marriage by Alderman Fuller yester
day afternoon. The groom Is a team
ster and 1!I years of age. The bride Is
twenty-four. Like practical, sensible
young people they broke lose from ull
conventionalities and went about their
wedding ceremony In a business like
way. As they Intend to make their fu
ture home here, they saved time and
railroad expenses by arranging for the
bride to come on here to have the cere
mony performed. Then they sought
out Alderman Fuller and after a short
discussion about fees agreed to have
the Sixteenth ward magistrate perform
the ceremony.
James A. Simpson and Elizabeth A.
Locke, of the North Knd. had Alderman
Wright Join them In wedlock yesterday
afternoon. The bride's brother was
married by the alderman about a year
ago and as the ceremony gave good
satisfaction the alderman received as
surance that he is the official nuptial
knot tier of their family as long as he
Is In the business.
Gas and Water Company Suffered to the
F.xtent of MHO by Sewer llreak.
Another large addition was yester
day made to the already somewhat
fair sized bill of dnmages resulting
from the break In tho sewer on Lsack
a wanna in front of the Wyoming house.
The Oan and Water company had to
spend f)60 in repairing its gas main
which settled and loosened at the joints
by reason of the earth being washed
away from beneath It. and now it asks
the city to reimburse it to that extent.
The city has already expended over
SCOO in fixing up the break and has In
view another bill of about $200 for pav
ing ine lorn-up portion of the street.
These bills, together with the Oas and
Water company's claims, will he n re
sented to the executors of the Hand-
OTT IN THE STAR GAZER.
Amused a Large Andlenco at the Acad
emy Last Mght.
Joe Ott. the well-kliown eccentric
comedian, and his company were seen
at the Academy last night In the mirth
provoking farce. "The Star Gazer." It
was a benefit for the Columbia Hose
company and the house was crowded.
Mr. Ott, as Professor Jupiter Mars, an
astronomer, was as droll and quaint as
of yore and quite as irresistibly funny.
In the last act his brother, Phil Ott,
made up as the double of Professor
Mars and duplicated his brother so well
in looks, voice, action and movement
that even when both were on the stage
at the same time the audience found It
difficult to tell who was Phil and who
was Joe.
The supporting company was very
good and contained a number of
sprightly young women headed by May
Jordan, who sang and danced and in
general added spirit and life to the performance.
niiil now she Is a city comprising ino.unO
souls. Sh s not built on a level plane,
but nestles among the hills, a liver run
ning through. The clear water of It
Is now gone nnd there remains what Is
little better than a sewer. This Is be
cause different channels have been
tinned Into it nnd hnve nolliilml It
throng viewed the remains. Then they I This change in the river Is nn Index
of the manufacturing progress of
i Scranton.
The speaker then spoke of the early
days of the nitinlcipadty and the cus
toms then in vogue about choosing pub
lic officers. A change has come and
the system of choosing public servants
now Is plmilae to the manner In which
men are selected to manage business
interests; anil these men are ones whose
ability lias been tried. In this cam
paign men are coming before the citi
zens of Scranton who hnve been trusted
nnd tried before nnd huve fullllledthe
fulth reposed in them.
Mr, Powderly turned his Attention 4o
the culminating charges which are In
circulation regarding the regular Re
publican ticketl nominated at Music
hall. The argument has gone forth
that this convention was dominated
by boss I sin. They who have made this
allegation show by their own action
at that convention that they followed
the lead of a boss. When, after Sheriff
F. H. Clemons. chairman of the conven
tion, accorded the greatest possible
latitude to these Irregular delegates,
and after all the allowance with which
they were accorded, they failed to con
trol the convention against the regu
larly elected delegates, then there was
a bolt and a number of men got up in
lesnonse to the command, "Follow me,"
and they left the hall. These men were
under the most servile of bossism.
Picture of tho Past.
Mr. Powderly pictured the days when
the hills ond vales of this side of the
city were devoid of the voice of Indus
try. In contradistinction he portrayed
the present activity In trade, and when
he mentioned the name of William Con
nell as to whom the credit is due for
much of this vast change, there was a
great outburst of aoplause from the
large audience. Mr. Powderly read an
extract from one of a series of articles
he contributed to the New York World
in 1S90. At that time business depres
sion was very Intense and Mr. Powderly
Interviewed a miner In the employ of
William Conned. It was on the sub
ject of work In the mines. The miner
said that while there was not very
regular work, yet none of the employes
of William Connell are left to suffer
front want, for many a home has been
cheered by assistance unostentatiously
given by Mr. Connell.
Mr. Powderly wished that there was
some man like Mr. Connell on the West
Side. The men who are now industri
ously slandering him are they who have
in the past been the recipients of favors
at his hands nnd because he does not
continue to assist them or perhaps they
think they can stand alone, is the rea
son they are now opposed to him. He
paid an eloquent tribute to Colonel K.
H. Ripple, the standard bearer of the
party In Scranton, and said of him that
ns a patriotic defender of the nation
when the war clouds came up from the
South Colonel Ripple showed his man
hood by going nobly to the front. As
an employer he has the respect nnd
good will of every man who ever worked
under him. and ns mayor Scranton nine
years ago he earned and still enjoys the
fullest and most Implicit confidence of
the citizens of Scranton.
Mr. Powderly said during his ad
dress that he had been tendered the
nomination on the "Independent Re
publican" ticket for mayor, but he de
clined the proffered honor with the as
surance that the Music hall ticket was
good enough for htm.
