and the. fact that no callers were admitted ltd the neighbors to believe that his illness was scrtoii. It was not until this afternoon that the residents of Chester Hill heard cf his bis defalcation. There was a rumor that he left iho town on the day that the dinner Invitations were canceled, and that he took h steamer for South America- This could not be corroborated. Late this afternoon Mrs. Alvord, wife of the mlssins: note teller, wis seen at the Mount Vernon home. Fhe was weeping Mtterly, and would not talk about the ca?e. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Alvord and two girls and a boy. They kept fcur or live servants. Mrs. Alvord Is said to have told friends that, owing to his position In the bank. Mr. Alvord was able to obtain tips which enabled him to make JtO.onj to Sj.iiOO a year over his salary by operating in Wall street. She Im paid to have boasted that her husband's tips were ro straight that he never lost a cent In the ftret and always made a Rain. Alvord had been with the bank for twenty years. THE BANK IS -SOLID. The First National Bank is considered one of the strong financial institutions of the city. George F. Baker, its president, is alio president of the Clearing House. William Ii. Heed Is the cashier. The directors are George F. Baker, Fisher A. llaker, William D. Reed, Harry C. Fahnestock. William Fahnestock, F. L. Hlne and James A. Garland. The First National Bank was the first to organize under the national bank act, and President Baker and his associates have been in charge for fifteen years. It was founded by Jacob Thompson, who was publisher of the Bank Note Detector. President Baker and Director Fahnestock are among the directors of the Central Hallway of New Jersey. The bank Is located at No. 2 Wall street. A statement made by the bank of fiept. 5 showed: .Capital, SioO.000; surplus, JS.OUO.000: undivided profits, deposits. JC3.997.oa; demand loans and cash on hand. $13.379, 276; time loans, $3,034,610, and itocka and bonds, $20,110. m In this statement the bank's total resources were placed at IVyond the facts contained in the official statement the bank's vice president, Frank L. Hlne. absolutely refused to say a word. President George F. Baker, when asked regarding the matter, said that the statement given out by the vice president contained all he had to say In regard to the defalcation. When asked if Alvord had been apprehended the vice president said: "I don't think he has." At the local office of the detective agency vhlch usually has charge of banU cases, it was said that officials of that company had heard nothing of the defalcation as yet, and that they had not at that time been assigned to the case. The First National Bank Is a member of the National Bankers Association. WILL, RECOVER PART OF LOSS. Fisher A. Baker, attorney for the First National Bank, said to-night: "We have located about $2t)0,GO0 worth of securities and real estate in Alvord's name and shall attach, it immediately. I think this will bring the loss of the bank down close to JC00.000. We are trying to locate Alvord with detectives." President Baker said: "We were greatly surprised at this defalcation, lor of course we had the greatest confidence in Alvord. He had been with us twenty years and we regarded him as absolutely trustworthy. We knew that he lived part of the time in Saratoga last summer, but did not know then of his gambling or that his extravagant way ot living had attracted general attention there. We understood that he had made money and supposed that he was able to live in good style. What his salary was I do not cire to state, but it was a generous one ample to afford him the luxuries of life. I shall add nothing to the statement Mr. Hlne has given cut." An official connected with the bank, who did not wish his name used, said: "A proof that the bank is not likely io suffer by the defalcation Is that its profits for the year ending last Sept. 1 were $1.030,600. The surplus is increasing fast. The par value of the stock is $li)0 a share, but It has brought as high as $l,t3 at auction. The book value of its stock is $3.105 per share, and as high as $3.60-) h?.s been bid. The percentage of Increase to capital, according to its last year's earnings, is 270.12 per cent. It has for teveral years paid annual dividends of 100 per tent. Only one other bank In this city declared dividends aggregating 130 per cent. The First National Bank holds in Hocks, bonds and other securities, according to its latest report, $24.073.910." WHAT THE "BOOKIES" SAY. Bookmakers to-night talked of nothing else but the story of the defalcation. Every bookmaker at the Saratoga race track knew him. For them his nod was sufficient for a bet of thousands and never during the season did they have to wait for the collection of his wagers. .Alvord's great build made him a marked figure on the race track and at the Saratoga Club. Though "Dick" Canfield says he never saw him and does not know him, many men who played roulette or faro remember Alvord as the man who bought $300 stacks and played to the limit and almost invariably lost without the slightest show of emotion. "He always bet me cash," said Sam Frank, a Saratoga bookmaker, "so I never knew much about him. I never paid him a bet for he never won one. He was the best loser I ever saw and would come around chipper the next day and bet again. He could have all the credit he wanted, but he never bet more than $100 on a race and always handed out the money." "He drove the finest trotters' in Saratoga," said another bookmaker, "and seemed to like the attention he attracted. He did not seem to care for women, and I don't think I ever saw him with one. He had several friends in Saratoga and drove them about the village and down to the lake, where he had expensive dinners lie had no hesitation in betting from $300 to $l,3uü on a race and his nod was as good WEATHER FORECAST.

as another man's money. He was the most regular loser that I ever knew. He always lost. In fact, 1 never knew him to cash a bet. He had a stable of horses, or at least he was credited with having them, but they were lun in the name of c trainer. They never won during the Saratoga meeting. He was a marked man at Saratoga, owing to hi size. Everybody knew him and his position in the Flr?t National Bank was well 'understood. ' Knowing that he was living on a salary, there was considerable comment on his actions, but bookmakers do not pay much attention to such things as long as a man makes good hU losses."

The North German Lloyd steamstlp Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which arrived this evening, had on board 450 saloon passengers, 530 in the second cabin and CS3 in her steerage. Among the arrivals were Potter Palmer, of Chicago, and Mrs. Palmer. Mr. Palmer denied the rumor that it is his intention to come to New York to live. Mrs. Palmer said she sincerely hoped that the ngwspapers would not ridicule the matter of the refusal on her part to be decorated with the emblem of the Legion of Honor, She explained the matter as follows: "There were two committees appointed from each State, then I was added to the committee. Later Mrs. Daniel Manning, who represented the Daughters of the American Revolution, was made a member by courtesy. It was then proposed that the order of the Legion of Honor should be conferred on the chairman of the United States commission, M. II. De Young, of San Francisco, on Mrs. Manning and myself. When I heard this I went to Director General Peck and told him that I thought the honor ought to be conferred on the men who had x done more than I had, and I declined the honor." MR.

Already bunting and other decorations am being put in position on the different down town buildings along the line of march and elsewhere and by Friday night the city 111 be completely decorated. The activity which has been shown in this campaign by the commercial travelers has been unusual, and it is believed that it is due in part to the gratification which is felt through the fact that the Republican national committee has created a department of commercial travelers for the ex press purpose of looking after the needs of men who travel.

Levy, of New York, a Tammany Democratic representative, on his way North from a long visit at Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, of which he (Levy) is the owner, stated that never were conditions in Virginia so favorable for Republican success, even Republicans were inclined to scoff, though Democrats smiled dubiously.

He said at the White House to-day: "Virginia will go for McKinley if there is a lair count. I hear of more changes than I ever knew of in my life. There is going to be a big silent vote, and I think there will be a surprise. We have had no money to make a campaign or to register our vote, and the Democratic officials have refused us every election Judge we have asked for.
