The recent death of the aged Father Henrici, who .succeeded George Rapp as the head of the society established by the latter, has revived the interest in that singular people. Early in this century Rapp organized the Harmonists in his native "Wurtemberg. They came to America in ISOo, and alter some years at New Harmony, Ind., located on the Ohio near Pittsburg and built the famous villa .'-* of Economy. As they were celibates and made few converts only a few of them are left, and their immense property will soon be a subject for litigation.

HAVE 1IIMSKI.F UP.

New Voi k, Fob. 21.—.lohn C. Eno, who in 1SS4 fled to Canada in order to avoid arrest and prosecution for having embezzled nearly $4,000,000 of the funds of the Second national bank while its president, put himself under the jurisdiction of the authorities Monday and was admitted to bail in §20,000.

For some time it has been known that Eno was likely to eonie back and take the consequences of his defalcation. IIis friends say it was much against his own better judgment that he lied, but that he did so upon the advice of his father, and that the only reason he did not come back before was that he feared the effect upon his father, v.-ho is more than SO years of age. Since he left this cit.v he has spent most of the time at Quebec, where he has been interested in various business enterprises, which are said by his friends to have been more or less successful.

Indictments Against Him.

Eno arrived in this city direct from Canada at 11 o'clock Monday morning and proceeded immediately to the otlice of his counsel, Col. George Uliss. The two proceeded to the chambers of Judge Wallace, where they were met by District Attorney Mitchell and a couple of his assistants.

The federal indictment under which Eno was admitted to bail consists of sixteen counts. They charge that at various times from December 2S, 1SSI5, down to May, 18S4, Eno, while president of the Second national bank, unlawfully and with iutent to defraud misapplied certain of the moneys and funds of the bank, amounting in the aggregate to S',!t~0,000. This money had been paid in sums ranging from £."0,000 to $4'"0.000 bv check to his brokers, A. Dyatt & Co.. and GofEe & llandlu.

Story of His Crime and Might. [Kno's crime and flight, coming as it did just after the failure of Grant & Ward and the Marine hank, helped to create almost a panic ip Wall street in the spring of 1884. Mfcy 12 of tir.it year there were rumors of trouble in the Second national bank. John C. Eno had been made president of the bank .several years previous by his father, Amos R. Kno, who was the principal stockholder. For the previous two or three years young Eno had been one of the most prominent and persistent speculators on tlio bull side of the market. He was long of the market when the Northern Pacific broke, but he held on, expecting a rise which never came. Tuesday, May 13, the story came ont. Eno's defalcation was said to tie in the neighborhood of $4.1)1)0.000. That night the directors met and decided to stand by the bank. Amos R. Eno. the young defaulter's father, is said to have presented the bank with securities valued at 5:i,fH!,00'J, the other .stockholders making up the balance. In addition to itt.nUU.UOOin securities Eno's father deposited in the bank ?1,0U0.000 in cash, and ollered, it is said, to put iu another million if il was thought to be necessary. There was a run on the bank, which lasted about day and a half, but its doors were never closed, and after a careful investigation the bank examiner reported tl.at the institution was perfectly solvent. Amos R. Eno was credited witn being worth at that time iu the neighborhood of

S2.1.00J.0J0. Eno hid been under the espionage of deputy sheriffs and detectives since it iirst became known that he had made away with the funds of the bank, but in spite of the cordon of police which surrounded his house he was not to be found when the United States officers wanted to arrest him. He 1ie1 mysteriously disappeared, and it was not until several days later that it wis known that he had gone to Canada in the company of father Ducey, who stood by him during his entire trouble. Eno was arrested in Quebec just as he was about to sail for Lh rpool. He refused to return to the United Sta i:s without extradition. He was kept under arr st for several weeks awaiting extradition proceedings, which, when they were brought into cot 't, proved unsuccessful. Various attempts li "e been made 10 get Eno to come back, but without result. 1
