IWO SPEECHES IN NORWICH WHERE THE GOVERNOR AltniVED AT MGHT IN A RAINSTOR3I. lie Telia Ills Audience of the Efforts lie IIa Made In Frnminc Legislation for the State. NORWICH. N. Y., Oct. 23. Governor Vtoosevelt finished the second day of his New York State campaign In Norwich to night, speaking to a large audience. He traveled 133 miles and made fourteen peeches, yet he finished hia day's work in . f pUndid shape, his voice at the night meet Ings being very clear. The entire trip to day was an ovation, the crowds. In com parlson to the population of the places, be lng especially large. The three largest places stopped at to-day were Stamford, where he spoke In a hall, Oneonta, where he addressed a largo out-of-door meeting. and at Bloomville. Despite the strain of the speeches made yesterday Col. Roosevelt found his throat In excellent condition this morning when he arose nt Kingston. lie had declined the numerous Invitations to rest at private houses And slept on the special train at "the noisiest place." as he described it. Finds he began his trip. It was at the Junction of tho West Junction and Ulster , & Delaware roads, and moving engines and trains were frequent. The Governor arose early and breakfasted beforo the start for the mountains, which was sched tiled for 9 o'clock, lie was Inclined to laugh over the numerous interruptions at outdoor points like the one made In front of tho V. M. C. A. rooms In Kingston last night. He was told by Capt. Joseph Dickie that the element that created the disturb ance was composed of loungers and for elgners. He laughed and said: "Well, If they only insist on answers and won't let the meetings go on In an orderly manner I'll drive them away by talk that they can understand." He was assured that the country through which he was going today would not produce the same kind of disorder. f It was 9 o'clock when the train pulled out of Kingston and started up the Catsklll mountains. The morning was beau tlful and the mountains looked their prettiest in autumn attire. Capt. Joseph Dickie, of Newburg, and George J. Smith, of Kingston, went with the party from Kingston. FIRST STOP OF THE DAT. West Hurley was the first stop of the day, and an enthusiastic, though small. crowd greeted Mr. Roosevelt. The Governor eald: "It seems to mc that In this cam p-Algn tho issue is whether or not the people of the United States have the good sense to understand what not to do In other words, whether we do or do not un derstand any existing evil would bo ag gravated by Bryanism and existing good wiped out by It. There will always be difficulties to face, always things to make better, tut no man quallfit! to exercise in the wisest way the duties of American citizenship will believe that evil can be best wl:ed out by smashing thu evil and good when the good predominates." The train made its second atop at Shokan, and about the entire population of the place was at the station. The Governor ftald: "I wih the hum of industry over there gave mc a chance to speak referring t a steam whistle which was tooting loudly In a manufacturing establishment near the depot. I hav but a. moment here, and I want to call your attention to one phase of this contest. Mr. Bryan ays he wants to benefit the wage-worker and glvo him a better share la tho pros lrity. So do I. Mr. Bryan's remedy is to make the employer and the wage-worker earn nothing and to reduce them to a com mon level of misery." Tho Governor referred the audience to his record on labor matters during his term of office and said: "I will join most heartily in Hny hontst. latelligcnt effort through legislation or through administration Vi make things better. You are not goHg to eradicate evils by killing the patient." At Phoenicia, Governor Roosevelt briefly referred to tho fact that there were evils in the country and things that ought to be Improved, but aid he would not join with Mr. Bryan In trying to remedy them by destroying everything In the country. The Governor told hU hearers Charles Lamb's story of how the Chinese discovered rcast pig was good, but said he did not believe, as the Chinese did. for h while, that the wy to roast a pig was to burn down a house. , CHEERS FOR BRYAN. The next stop was at Shandakin. Amid the cheers that greeted tho vice presidential candidate as he stepped out on the platform, h voice cried out "Hurrah for Bryanl" The cheers were not given. Instead, three cheers for Roosevelt were proposed and given. The Governor, turning to the Bryanlt. hail: "I am tempted to ok you why you hurrah for Bryan?" Because he ha.. tome here to aid Mr.

Croker, because rav-f he poor people

ice this summer In , . tTry -nC back the reply. C'.C. e w a "Mr. Bryan gave the poor pav-c cc?" asked Governor Roosevelt In a surprised tone. "Do you mean you believe that? If you do, I don't wonder you can hurrah for Bryan or anything else. "Now, gentlemen, I am going to Fpeak of something suggestive of that gentleman." continued Governor Roosevelt. "Never mind him," was shouted. "I don't; I like hltn; he amuses and In terests mc. The Governor went on to say that he appealed to Republicans and Democrats alike, and asked them to distinguish be tween the names of things and the things themselves, and stated "A ton of oratory was not worth an ounce of performance." At Pine Hill there was a splendid gath ering, with banners and flags. The Governor referred to a banner which was being upheld In the crowd. "I see here, on your banner: 'No fifty-cent dollars for us. That 13 an issue on which we have a right to appeal to every sound Democrat Just as much as to every Republican. I would like to ask you to take the prophecies of Mr. Bryan, made four years ago. The first time a man fools you, it is his fault; the next time it is your fault. So if you get fooled now, it is your own fault." At Flelschman's there was the first band of the day, and a big crowd. The Governor said he could only speck for a moment, and asked his hearers to keep things from going downward, repeating his familiar words about workmen's Interests being identical with those of their employers. At Arkvlllo the Governor left the train for the first time during the day's trip, und took hi3 place on a platform erected for him. There was gathered the largest crowd of the day, augmented by a reception committee from Delaware county, that had come down to meet him. As the Governor alighted and was being escorted to the stand, he noticed in the crowd a man dressed in a military suit. "What regiment are you in?" asked the Governor to him. "I was in the Seventh Regular Artillery," the man replied. "Come with me up here," said the Governor, taking him on the platform with him. The Governor said: "What I am going to say to you at this moment is due to what has occurred since I left the car. As I got off the car I met here one of your fellow-citizens, formerely of (CONTINUED ON FIFTH PAGE.) WILL BE HELD TO-DAY SERVICES OVER THE REMAINS. OF THE LATE JOHN SHERMAN.

IIAZLETON, Ta., Oct. 23.-PresIdent Mitchell's statement In his speech at Pottsville to-day that ho believed the strike would be ended by next Monday if all the operators posted notices guaranteeing the 10 per cent, advance until April 1, was received here to-night with much pleasure by tho mlno workers and the mine officials. It is believed that nothing will now inter vene to delay the ending of the contest, which has run more than five weeks. President Mitchell was asked on his ar rival here from Pottsville to-night on what he based his belief that the strlka would end with this week, but he declined to say anything other than the proposition of the miners was so fair that he could not sse any valid reason why the operators should not accept. Mitchell declined to say what course would be pursued if one or more companies refused to guarantee the payment of the increase until April L A member of the national executive committee of the United Mine Workers of America and the officers of the three anthracite districts will bo hero to-morrow for tho purpose, Mr. Mitchell says, of thoroughly canvassing the situation. He would not say whether tho conference would take any positive action looking toward the calling oft of the strike. If any action will bo takn, he said, it would depend entirely upon what the canvess would show. In answer to another question the labor leader said he would not take the responsibility on himself of calling off the strike, but would rather have the national board vote on the question. Those who are expected to attend to-morrow's meeting are W. R. Fairly of Alabama, Fred Dllcher of Ohio, George Purcell of Indiana, Ben jamln James, members of the national executive board; President T. D. Nichols and Secretary John T. Demsey, of district No. 1, President Thomas Duffy and Secretary John F. Gallagher, of district No. 7, and President John Fahey and Secretary George Hartlein, of district No. 9. Vice Grand Master Fitzgerald, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, attended a meeting of trainmen at Freeland, twelve miles north of here, to-day. The object of the meeting could not be learned, but it Is believed the miners' strike was a prominent subject of discussion. ACTION OF OPERATORS. Horr They AVI II Figure the Cost of Ponder in Granting Increase. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 23.-A meeting of superintendents representing most of the larger companies of the Lackawanna, Wyoming valley region, was held here, to-day, in the offices of the Temple Iron Company, and an agreement was made to post the following notice: "In order to avoid the complications that would result from figuring the amounts due each miner on the notices that have been posted, the companies have concluded, after a careful compilation of statistics for the past year, to adopt a general averago, and sell to their miners powder at $1.50 per keg, and add the balance, 2Va per cent., to the price of the dar or ton." The meeting was attended by General Superintendent C. C. Roso of the Delaware & Hudson Company, General Superintendent E. E. Loomis of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company, General Manager W. A. May of the Hillside Coal and Iron Company, General Superintendent W. J. Richards of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, and President T. II. Wilklns of the Temple Iron Company. These companies operate sixty-nine collieries. The big companies still refuse to make any specific guarantee as to how long the 10 per cent, offer is to run, and from conversations had with a number of them It can be said with every assurance that they will not make any specific guarantee. Superintendent Loomis, of the Lackawanna, said: "We do not feel called on to mal;e affidavit that our offer was given In good faith." SPEECH I1V .MITCHELL.

Rain fell heavily during tho miners meeting here to-day, but the large crowd, estimated at nearly six thousand persons, did not seem to mind the downpour. John Fahey, president of this district, presided. President Mitchell made a speech, which was listened to with great interest. His most important utterance bearing directly on the ending of the strike was as follows: "I oelieve it will be but a few days longer until the operators in the Hazleton. Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys will consent to post notices agreeing to pay the 10 per cent, increase In wages until April 1. I believe that if you stand together the rest of this week, by Monday, at the latest, you can return to work with everything won you struck for."

EXCORIATED BY A DEMOCRAT SCATHING DEXUXCIATIOX OF RRYAXIS3I 11Y DOX 31. DlClwIXSOX. Cleveland's Former Postumster General In Line with, Other Good Men Who Will Vote for .McKinley. DETROIT, Oct 23. Don M. Dickinson, postmaster general under President Cleveland, and the most eminent Democrat in Michigan, has given out a signed statement in which he explains why he must vote for the Republican national ticket this fall. In part he says: "Since the adoption of the Kansas City platform, and his nomination, I have never entertained a thought of voting for Mr. Bryan. I confess, however, in common with many Democrats, I hoped for a time that I might with a clear conscience stay away from the polls. But Mr. Bryan's speeches, particularly his later ones, have destroyed that illusion and convinced me that I must vote at the coming election. "I criticise no man of different views who can reconcile himself to the other course, tut as for me. with the light I have. I am lorced to tho conviction that I would be a recreant American, false to my country, and false to my party as well, if I should take to the woods. "I am a Democrat on all the fundamental Issues on wh!ch our party Joined battle in the past with the Republicans, the Whigs and the Federalists a Democrat without the prefix "gold." because my party has been the party of sound finance from Jefferson to Cleveland. I could not be a Republican If I wouM, ind I say the creed of Democracy with all my old-time sincerity and faith. "But I recognize scarcely a vestige of Democratic principle in either the Chicago or Kansas City platform. The organization is in the hands of the Populists, and by these the livery of true Democracy has been stolen in which to serve all tho devils that make for social disorder. "Mr. Bryan Is preaching tho gospel of bate. Voicing that, he apeals to the envious, the discontented, the improvident, the incompetent and the unworthy. But worse still, he endeavors to set friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, family against family, section against section and nation against nation. He makes the always dangerous appeal to the evil in human nature. His postulates are Boxer and his propaganda is Boxer. He speaks no. encouragement-to the unsuccessful, but tells him to lay the blame at the door of his more fortunate neighbor, and that his sole remedy is to attack him. "Where is tho Intelligent citizen who believes in his heart that his Republican neighbors are not as good Americans and as good patriots as himself? And yet in connection with his making a charge that the Republicans demanded a larger army, an increase with a minority of but 330 he has repeatedly said in his. public speeches, as he said at Indianapolis: 'Why do they want it? So that they can build a fort near every large city and use the army to suppress by force the discontent that ought to be cured by remedial legislation. "This from a candidate for the presidency of the United States, using all the power of his eloquence to carry conviction, especially to our foreign-born workingmen, whose vote he solicits. "Our policy Is peace. Wc seek no more wars. We want the friendship of all nations, but now, as ever, we stand, at peace but ready, to battle with any of them for tho integrity of our territory, the honor of our -flag, and the protection of Americans everywhere. "The Philippine question is a problem to be solved by Congress, so far as the whole territory is concerned. It may be determined to withdraw the flag, as in Cuba. But in no place on earth must that flag be hauled down under fire. "On tho finance question two or three respected friends use this logic substantially It may be admitted that the man who proposes to have the Nation make a debt paying dollar or a labor paying dollar out of GO cents of siher and 50 cents of vacuum Is sincere in his views of political economy. So is the Anarchist sincere, .and his physical and moral courage, though perverted, cannot be questioned, when, taking his life in his hands, he adopts assassination as a proper political method. "Suppose, in order to get the Anarchist vote, the platform had indorsed assassination as a political means, and suppose the friends of the candidate appealed to us for votes on the ground that, although the declaration for assassination was in the platform, yet in fact it could never be made effectual because the Republican police protection was too perfect, would we listen to the proposition? "Yet the logic is the Fame, and tha analogy should not offend, for the turpitude of the two declarations would differ little n degree in the opinion of the two or three men who are endeavoring to reason themselves into voting for Bryan. "Let no Democrat be Influenced by false reports as to the attitude In this crisis of any man whom we have trusted, who, pointing to his record to speak for him now, may deem it unnecessary to speak again. "We should never lose faith In the stability of the-works of God, least of all in the noblest of them, an honest man. "I take my place proudly by the tide of Abram S. Hewitt, under whom I fought in the great battle for Tilden and Democracy in 1S75. waiting in confidence the call of men like him to gather for the reorganization of my party. Like him, I conceive It to bo my solemn duty to vote against Bryanlzlng the Democratic party, and to rid the party and country of Bryanlsm. And so, like him. in the ranks of the truo Democracy. I shall go to the polls and cast my ballot for President McKinley." Mrs. Calvin S. II rice HI. NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-Mrs. Calvin S. Brice, the widow of Senator Brlce of Ohio, Is ill in her home In Fifth avenue. Her condition, according to the Herald, is such as to caue grave fears as to her recovery. Mrs. Brlce passed the latter part of the summer in the Adlrondacks. At the first cold weather she was brought here In a special car. One of her sisters has since been constantly with her. Her physician said that in his professional position he was unable to discus her condition in any way.

J., Girl Whose Body Wns Found In the River In He rue n County Last Week, FIVE PERSONS IMPLICATED ALL WELL-KNOWN YOUNG 3IEN, WHO ARE NOW UXDEIl ARREST. One Is the Driver of a Carrlna-e, Who Wav Paid If 10 for Ills Share in the Revolting Crime. "KNOCK OUT" DROPS USED THE INSENSIBLE GIRL TAKEN TO A LONELY PLACE RY THE BRUTES. Inter Harried Rack to the City, Where a Doctor Pronounced Her Dead William Death Concerned. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Late last night George Kerr, Walter McAllister, William Death, Andrew Campbell and August Schulthor were arrested by the police cf Paterson, N. J., accused of having caused the death of Miss Jennie Bosschleter, the young woman whose body was found last Friday on the outskirts of Paterson. To-day's developments show that the circumstances surrounding the death of Miss Bosschleter form one of the moat remarkable and revolting crimes which has ever been brought to light in this section. The police have the Ave persons more or less concerned in tho affair in custody. From statements and confessions made they have been able to trace tho course of the girl from 8:30 o'clock Thursday evening until she met death, and the travels of her body afterward are also fairly well known. Shortly after S o'clock Miss Bosschleter passed Kent's drug store at Paterson and near it met Andrew Campbell. There was a short conversation, and then the pair walked down Main street. Somewhere en route they were Joined by Kerr, McAllister and Death. Tho four entered Christopher Seal's saloon. Here drinks wero served. Finally one of the men telephoned to the Erie depot for a cab, and August Schulthor's responded. This cabman has been tho main gourco of the police's information and has given a detailed story of what occurred. It was in the neighborhood of 10 o'clock when the four men lifted the partly unconscious girl Into Schulthor's carriage. It is al leged that after tho ' hackman had been called, one of the men asked for another round of drinks, and, into that served the girl, poured the contents of a vial containing "knock out" drops. The man directed the driver to take them to a roadhouse, but they found the place closed, and repeated rapplngs produced no results. The party then started back toward the city. DRIVEN BACK TO THE CITY. In a lonely spot the hack was stopped and the girl lifted out of It and laid upon a blanket by the roadside. In what fol lowed the hackman and one of the four, it is said, had no part The story is too revolting to describe. The hackman claims that ho did not leave his seat on the cab. He was unable to say whether the girl was alive or dead when she was lifted back into the cab. Ho remembers that he was told to drive down by the river bank. Hero the girl, apparently lifeless, was lifted out of the cab and her head and face bathed with river water. After a long time spent in trying to revive her tho men held a con sultatlon. Their victim was again lifted into the cab and the hackman was ordered to drive like mad to Dr. Wiley's house. Dr. Wiley was not at home, and the party hur ried to the residence of Dr. Townsend on Paterson street. Tho physician was aroused and told to come down stairs at once and give immediate attention to a woman who had been Injured. He was told not to wait to dress. He slipped on a bath robe and went out to the carriage door. He felt the girl's pulse and then stepped back, saying his services were not needed, as the girl was dead. One of the men cursed the doctor for a tool and commanded him to revive her. The doctor turned and started back Into the house. The men then changed their de meanor and begged him to do something for the girl. The doctor again assured them that it was useless, as the girl was dead and beyond help.- The carriage then drove away, but came back In a few min utes, and again the men urged Dr. Town send to resort to anything to bring the girl about. He again explained that the girl was beyond medical aid. The doctor was offered any amount of money if he would try, but he persisted it vas useless for him to try, as death had come long before. TAKEN TO THE RIVER. The carriage then drove away. There was a consultation among the men. One wanted to take the body to the girl's home and leave It there. The other three refused to consider tuts, and insisted -on dropping the body upon the roadway. It was finally resolved to drive out into Bergen county, by way of the Thirty-third-street bridge. When the bridge was reached, the driver was again ordered to stop. The purpose soon developed. . When the party leu the scene of the criminal assault, one man had a portion of the girl's clothing in a pocket of his coat and another had the remainder of the garments. When the stop was made at the river's bank to bathe the girl's face and head, her combs and hairpins had been removed. These were in McAllister's pocket. The two portions of the garment and the combs and hairpins were dropped from the bridge into the Passaic river. The carriage was then d'rlven a short distance along the road Into Bergen county. The spot was decided on as a good place to drop the corpse. The body was dragged out of the carriage, but just then a wagon was heard approaching, and one of the men hurled the body back into the cab, exclaiming: "Drive on. Here comes a carriage." The cab went on until the dark spot near Allca's mills was reached. McAlllister caught the girl by the feet and dragged them outward. Another of the men lifted the shoulders, and as the hips reached the till McAllUUr dropped the

feet and the two men held the body up

right for a moment and then let it go. The girl's, body fell backward, the head strik ing the rock, which crushed the skull. This circumstance, which threw the Bergen county authorities off tho scent, was not foreseen by the men disposing of the body. The hackman received HO for his night's work. This was paid by Mc Allister. This is the story as detailed to De tectives Titus and Taylor. The four men directly concerned in this affair and the hackman are prisoners. Tho hackman has told all he knows, and two of the others have confirmed his story. It Is said that Death and Campbell are the men who told all, and that Kerr has also confessed. McAllister alone Is said to deny the affair as detailed. Walter C. McAllister is a member of tho firm of McAllister & Co., silk throwsters. George Kerr is a member of the J. T. Donleavy Taint Company. Andrew Campbell i. a bookkeeper, employed at the Hand-street silker mill. William A. Death is a young man who was married five weeks ago, Mrs. Death's friends are endeavoring to conceal the story of the details of her husband's arrest, and she is convinced that a mistake has been made. The men implicated in" tho crime were held without bail after hearing before Recorder Senior to-day. Judge Kerr, brother of one of the prisoners, is married to a sister of Mayor Hinchcliffe, the millionaire brewer of Taterson. He is also a relative of John Johnson, Democratic nominee for Congress in the Paterson district. The funeral of the girl was held this afternoon. To avoid a crowd it was announced that the services had been postponed by the coroner. It is claimed at Paterson, to-night, that the affair is only one of a series of crimes In which mill girls of that city have been victims, but this is the first case known in which any of the girls have lost their lives. MR. JONES ONCE MORE THIS TIME HE IS MAKING INSIXUATIOXS AGAINST 3PKIXLEY. Brynn's Manager Stoops So Low as to Say the President Is Uslnjr His Office to Benefit Himself. GR0VER CLEVELAND SPEAKS HE DECLIXES TO REPUDIATE HIS AXTI-RRYAN LETTER. Republicans and Gold Democrati Likely to Give Virginia Bry milled Democrats a Scare Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CHICAGO, Oct. 23. James lv. Jones is out with his daily statement. Jone3 does not speak qidte so often as the man he is coaching for the presidency, but it is a very cold day when he does not get before the public at least once. One day it is a defense of his connection with the cotton-bale trust (which is not a trust in the eyes of Mr. Jones, but which W. R. Hearst, the ubiquitous Democrat, recognizes as a trust by cartooning it In his newspapers); another day it is rosy pictures of Bryan's prospects, and to-day it is an attempt to make people believe President McKinley is using his high office to further his own election. When it comes to a question of veracity between Jones and McKinley, Jones will find few supporters, even among his own party." Jones knows how to evade the truth almost as well as W. J. Bryan. Here is Chairman Jones's latest statement, issued to-day: "The instructions given to the commissioners on the part of the United States to negotiate the treaty with Spain in Taris. in lfc'JS, have never, so far as I know, been made public. When the treaty was before the Senate for ratification, there was a great demand that these Instructions should be made public. So great was the desire for information, that many newspapers published what was claimed to be inside information about what these Instructions contained. But for some reason, and doubtless, not an unimportant one, this desire was not gratified. "The President, in his letter of acceptance, quoted a part of these, as I understand, secret Instructions. I addressed him a note on Oct. 5. calling his attention to this fact, and requested that, inasmuch as the part of the instructions which ho considered favorable to the position of his political party was so used by him, the remainder should be made public. Conceiving It impossible that the President of the United States would use part of a secret document for the advancement of his personal fortunes, and the Interest of his own political party, and nt the same time refuse to the public the remainder of the document. I expected to have a prompt answer from the President. I have now waited for more than two weeks, and have not had the honor of an acknowledgment even of the receipt of my note."

SPENT STEALINGS LAVISHLY LOST LARGE AMOUNTS SPECULATIXG AXD PLAYING THE RACES. His Defalcation So Skillfully CoTered that Federal Examiners Could Not Discover It NEW YORK, Oct 23. -Charles L. Alvord. Jr.. note teller of the First National Bank of this city, is a fugitive and a defaulter to the extent of $700,000. The announcement of the defalcation, which was made this afternoon, created much excitement in the financial district of the city, but the wellknown stability of the First Natlona.1 and a statement Issued by the bank had a quieting effect. This statement follows: "The note telier, who lias been In the employ of the First National Bank for many years, is a dcfaulter'to a large amount. His operations have continued for a considerable period, and have been skillfully concealed through a manipulation of his balance book. The discovery was made by one of the bank's employes a few days after the completion of an examination of the bank by the United States examiner. During the continuance of his peculations, periodical examinations have ben made by several distinct corps of examiners representing the controller's department, all expert accountants, and tho bank has elso had frequent independent examinations, neither of which has developed any irregularity. The aggregate of the false entries, amounting to $71)0,000, has been charged oft on the books of the bank out of the reserve fund, without diminishing the surplus and profits of the bank as reported in Its last published statement. It Is expected the shortage will be materially reduced by a substantial sum, of which there is fair prospect of recovery." FOOLEqD THE EXPERTS. Alvord had been with the bank for twenty years and was one of the most trusted men in tho institution. His stealings extended over a long rerlod, but no fcupIcion of the truth was known until ten days ago, when he sent word that ho was ill at his home. After he had been away for a day or two the bank put experts at work and some irregularities were found. As the experts delved deeper and deeper into Alvord'a books the extent of the robbery began to dawn on the officers until they were overwhelmed to find that It reached the enormous figure of $7u0.000. Whether that cum is all that he took Is not yet known. It has not yet developed how the note teller was able to rut his hands on so much money. But one of the directors Is reported to have said that Alvord was enabled to take such a large sum because as note teller he was in charge of the mall. This he oieiicd every morning ami he had ample opportunity to abstract notes, drafts and checks as well as money. Of course, he had to be especially skillful to make his accounts balance. This director admitted that he was at a loss to account for the failure of the bank examiners to discover Alvord's irregularities at their last examination. Forrest Raynor is in charge of ihc national bank examiners office here. What Alvord did with all the cash is also a myttery as yet, except that, as usual ia such cases, it is said that a large amount of It went In stock speculation. One itory U that be had lost S73,(j In one deal, but what deal it was is not stated. It has been discovered that during the summer Alvord visited Saratoga, where be cut a great fit"ure, sending morey like a prince. H rented a cottage, kept a fine stable of horses, and, IkVICos playing the rares, ig said to have frequented gambling houses. LIVED IN A PALACE. If these stories are true Alvord displayed entirely different charac teristics than those he showed at home. In this city he was known as a man of very regular habits.' Among his associates he was locked up to. and on Wall ttreet was known a 'llippy Alvord," because of his cheery ways. His home was In the suburb of Mount Vernon. This home is a magnificent place, located on Chester Hill, one of the most ari?tocratic sections of the suburb. It 1 surrounded by luxurious grounds, and there are rxten.-lve ttables. Alvord has lon-j been considered one of the big men of the town. His family entertained lavishly. an3 gave large sums to charity. He was prominent in church clcies. and hi wife la considered one of the most beautiful women In Mount Vernon. Invitations had been sent out for a granS dinner at the Alvord home a week ago tomorrow night. The day set for the dinner messengers scurried throughout Mount Vernon recalling th invitations. That night the houfe was In darkness. Friends nt the family were told that Mr. Alvord was ill. Tho darkened trluJows ilzzi t -n
