Today's game was a heart-disease affair, Paducah winning out in the ninth toy bunching hits on Price and by an error by Bateman. The Hautes played an up-hill game from the start and thero is no disgrace in the defeat. Downing is an enigma to Terre Haute and failure to hit at opportune time are responsible for the defeat, even with the Garrison finish.

Special to the Express.

Paducah, Ky., May 24.—There was all kinds of trouble in/ Paducah this evening. The Terre Haute players were arrested by constables for playing on Sunday. Th© Kentucky officers were given a stiff game before landing the players. At first it was intended to arrest them before they left the ball field and the players arranged to slip out the park by the side gate. As the ninth inning was being played however, A. C. Einstein, who owns the Taducah club and incidentally a liberal share of the city, itself, walked out on the diamond and told' the players to go through the main gate. The street cars were alive with constables but nothing was done until after supper. The constables had warrants, but tlie warrants only contained the given names of the men. This was known to Director Cox and the men nrado a stand on the officers when approached. There was a merry chase attending the servicc of the officers. Most of the men took to the streets, but Bateman, Price and Ireland were nailed. Pace camc near being taken, but he ran through the hotel and up to the fourth floor. Late tonight ihe Paducah people patched everything up and there will be no prosecution.

An Hour In Delphi.

I had an hour all to ravself in Delphi, and thought over my day. The drive from Itea, the port of Delphi, is beautiful. The road is perfect. It is a French road. It passes through olive groves, thj like of which for vigorous life I have never seen, or, seeing, have mover marked, and then begins the ascent along the zigzags which furrow the face of the mountain. It recalled to my mind the road from Giardini to Taormina, the road from Palermo to Monreale. A very modern dogcart, driven by a very modern French archteologist, with a vejpr modern French girl at his side, came bowling down the road at a reckless pace. The awe of Delphi was not yet upon us.

Then wc reached a largevillage, Chryso by name, which is, being interpreted, Goldsborough—a corruption, it is suggested, of the anciont uaino Crissa not an unnatural corruption, if one remembers the popular slanders against Delphi. Chryso seemed larger even than it was. Clambering far uphill, it waylays the traveler throe times, and as we traversed it three times, the children of the village threw wild flowers into our carriages. When we went down, I must. Add, the withholding of a copper tribute housed the wrath of the youthful neighbors of Delphi, and other missiles than wild flowers were hurled into the carriage that I occupied.— B. L. Gildersleeve in Atlantic.

Beds With Drawers.

At some of the furniture houses are to be found brass bedsteads with drawers beneath, whiqji, in these days of apartment life and voluminous wearing apparel, is a distinct advantage. There is a drawer at each end of the bedstead, extending across the width. They are entirely inclosed, and thus the contents are protected from all ilust. While not wide enough for dress skirts, they are ample to hold a much trimmed bodice, and it is for these that thoy are specially designed.

Parted In the Middle.

Mr. Rattlebone's mouth is disfigured by the absence of one of his front teeth. His little son surprised him the other day by asking:

"Father, dear, what makes you part your teeth in the middle?"—Golden Days.

Worth of Advice.

In the old days when the lord chief justice was simply Mr. Charles Russell he was stopped by a solicitor of his acquaintance holding a sS5 Bank of England note in his hand. Passing the note to the budding Q. C., the solicitor inquired: ''Is it genuine?''

The lord chief justice eyed it critically and pronounced it a good note, at the same time deliberately putting it in his pocket.

The solicitor thanked him and requested the return of the note, but all the satisfaction he got was: "I never give an opinion under £5."— Pearson's Weekly.

IS IT "SO AKED" AW A Y?

(Continued from First Page.)

There -was nothing in Ms conduct lhat would create the least suspicion of wrongdoing. And he was always trying to help some' worthy young man, and would give them advice and point how to be liked and respected in the community. An instance is cited of a young man who had given some notes as part of the purchase price of a lot in town here. The note was due, and so was the interest. The young man's wif® was sick and the money that should have gone to pay the note was used in other ways. Johnson sent Tor him and pointed out the enormity of using money that belonged to other people, and told him that such a thing must never occur again. At the same time Johnson was filching thousands of dollars from the bank.

It has been discovered that a firm of lawyers here saved Johnson from exposure on a previous occasion. This was nearly two years ago, and the firm managed to keep from the public that Johnson was gambling in wheat and was a bucket shop speculator.

THEORY OF THE GOVERNMENT. The theory ot the government is that Johnson has carried out a premeditated plan that he is doing just what he intended doing. The hank examiner claims that one year ago, when he made an examination of the bank, he, he found it in good condition. It is since that time, according to official sources, that Johnson 'has been preparing to break the bank.

One year ago, it is claimed, he had outstanding only $150,000. Two weeks ago, when the bank examiner came around again^ "hefountj that the outstanding debt had more than doubled itself, and he told Johnson that he would have to call in some of the loans or he would make him trouble. This did not worry Johnson in the least, and on the last trip of the examiner he found still more indebtedness and nearly $200,000 in forged paper. Then the bank was closed.

The officers of the government say that Johnson has secreted a large amount of money that he knew the exposure was sure to come, and he would make hay while the sun was shining, and that he has at least $200,000 put away, that will be his own when he comes out of prison. This, the officers say, accounts for his pretended nerve. They say he could make more money by serving in the penitentiary than he could by running the bank, and his idea was that he would be able to escape with a light sentence—perhaps five years—and could five at 'his ease th$ balance of his life. But there are some who know he was a gambler, and do not believe that he has any money left. The government officers, however, are carrying out their theory and will try to find this money. •DIRECTORS WHO DID NOT DIRECT.

The board of directors of the bank has not escaped criticism. It seems to have been a board that did not direct. "How did it happen that the -board did not know v.~ha| was going on?" was asked of W. S. Lileiv, one of the oldest and bes£ citizens here, A.I19, is a member of the board. "Wel'l," said Mr. Ullery, with a sad smile, "we trusted it to 'Johnny.' He would show us a nice balance sheet and tell us how things were going, and how much money the bank was making, and we believed him. Whatever 'Johnny* said was all right with us. "When he would show us a note that was not good, he would say that he was mistaken when he gave the money for it, and we would just write it off as so much lost. I suppose (hat there was not more than $600 of that kind of paper written off. 'Johnny' did everything. He ran the banl^ to suit himself, and we trusted him. After the death of Henry Hetihbrlnk. the cashier, Johnson was cashier as well as president, and thus had the opportunity that he appears to have taken." "What about this debt Of the elder John^ son, that 'Johnnj' said he was paying off?'" "I never knew that William H. Johnson owed any one, and I do not believe it now. A number of years ago, before the elder Johnson was president of the bank, he became indebted to a number of farmers in a wheat and pork deal, but the bank was not involved at that time. I was a director of the "bank under the elder Johnson's administration also, and I think the bank's affairs were all right. When the bank-first started William H. Johnson was a stockholder. A man named Richardson was cashier, and one Adams ,was president. Adams and Richardson got away with considerable of the bank's money, and it was re*: organized, with William H. Johnson as pfes^ •ident. 'Why. we had as much confidence irt

Johnny' Johnson as one person could pffccfe in another. We thought him next to an fen* gel, but the devil himself could not h9vi been more of a rascal. I have had all^be't bank business I wan J. When 'Johfniy'Johnson was shown to be a thief I lost confidence in everybody. The little fool. T-Te will come out of prison without a fri^hd with no credit and no place to go wher£ her will "be respected."

v'u

DIRECTOR ELLIOTT EXPLAINS,^/. Jehu Elliott is a stockholder and one ai the directors "The explanation is very simple," said Mr. Elliott. "We trusted 'Johnny' to the utmost.. When he made us a report we took it for granted that the report was correct. I would go over to the batik every few days, and we would sit in his private office and talk. He would show me the profits the bank was making, and we would congrafulate each other on his successful administration of the affairs. There was not the least suspicion of anything wrong. 'Johnny' is a man who would win the respec't and confidence of any one When he shook hands with you and talked in his pleasant, affable way, you could not help believing in him. And he was so careful in his habits. He would not go in a saloon for fear the 'fact that he had been seen in that kind of a place might cause a remark that would be detrimental to the bank. He drank nothing, behaved himself well, had the confidence of this entire community and then robbed -it. So far as the school board money is concerned, I think that is all right. In fact, I know that it is, for I did not have all of the school funds in this one bank."

One of the attorneys in the case said: "Johnny took a desperate chance. Like the gambler, he staked everything on the turn of the last card, and he lost. Had he won he would have been a wealthy man but, as I said, he lost. That tells the story.'

When 'Henry Heitbrink was employed in the Second .National Bank of Richmond he was a most exemplary young man. He was one of the models of the town. He had not been appointed cashier of the State National at Logansport over a year until he began to grow loose in his habits and finally he died. It is the belief of many who knew the young man that he was aware of Johnson's speculations, that he was "in constant dread of exposure, and' this fear brought on his dissipation, and he went to his grave with the secret of the bank's real condition. Johnson himself succeeded in acting as cashier, and thus the secret was preserved.

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE.

Additional Shortage Discovered Today in State National Bank. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Logansprt. Ind., May 24.—Bank Examiner Caldwell today found a further shortage in the wrecked State National bank of $50,000 Assistant Cashier Kerrier, of the New York National Bank of the Republic, arrived tol day with his account, and the books show that Johnson issued a certificate of deposii in favor of tl»e New York Basic, May 14. for

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, iS DAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1897. 5

amount, representing thai he did not want to ship the money. The certificate was not recorded here und Johnson drew against the amount. Caldwell says that more such shortages may be found wh&fi other bank accents are checked up.

STORY OF THE GONFESSION.

Banker Johnson Admits His Guilt to Exaanin»r Caldwell. I^Logansport, Ind., May 24.—The confession made by the defaulter and embezzler to the bstuk examiner as retold by Mr. Caldwell is Substantially as follows: 'I','Last Wednesday afternoon I began to famine the boobs and accounts of the Slate National Bank. Among the first filings I did was make a list of the loans. I -cijseovered that a great deal of this paper was new and crisp, and I observed that there was a general similarity in the handwriting purporting to be ihe signatures of the promisors. A close examination brought me to the conclusion that these notes (I am referring now to the new notes) had been ex"ecuted about the same tone, Judging from the color of the ink. I then discovered that the new notes were distributed among the bona fide notes and were dated so as to mature in thirty, sixty, ninety an^ 120 days.

After thinking the matter over carefully I called Jciinson's attention to these notes. I remarked that they were all new and that there was something abut them that attracted my attention. He replied that all the! promisors were business men of good standing iir Logansport, and that they were depositors in the bank. I then turned to the discount register and found that the new notes had not been recorded. When I asked Johnsn why he had neglected to register them he replied he did not have time, but would do so a3 soon es possible. I then pvt the question straight to him: 'Mr. Johnson,' I asked, 'aid you write those signatures?' 'I did/ was the reply, and it came w'thout any hesitation. I thereupon told him I should be obliged to close the bank. At this ha became solicitous, and said that he could make it all up if given a chance. I have bank stock and real estate which I can turn in,' he said. When I pressed him again he admitted that the bank stock, $56,000 had been hypothecated and that all other -property he could schedule would not exceed in value $100,000, and yet he persisted. I told "him his hypothecated bank stock was worthless and that $100,000 of property could not wipe out a $200,000 deficit. "Johnson then began to talk about realizing money out of certain 'real estate deals' and I told hiim the best thing he could do in thp promises was to deed me that property at once, before he retired for the night. This he refused to do, saying he wanted to see me at his residence -that night before any transfers were made. At 5:30 our conference .was ended, and when Johnson and I parted I agreed to meet him at his house that night. Meantime I had taken possession of the keys and had notified the department at Washington. "Little satisfaction resulted from the Wednesday night conference. Johnso made a strong appeal for another chance, and said that in a year so everything would be all right. I told him that a man wfio would foi"ge the name of thirty-four of his fellowcitizens to notes was not safe man to run a bank, and that I would be obliged to call a meeting of the directors, whom I wanted Johnson to meet next morning. He affected great aversion to this and said he would meet me at my hotel, but would not go before the directors. I told ihim it was the only manly thing to do, and that in any event there was no possible way of concealing the condition of the bonk from them any longer. The next morning he met me at my hotel and informed me that he had dispsedof $100,000 certificates of deposit, which were not recorded. I was struck with amazement and asked him to make a full confession of his stealings. He said that was all. Only two of the directors of the bank were in the city—W. T. and William Elliott. Johnson refused to see them, so I told him to stay at the hotel and I would lay the whole mattter before them, which I did. That night the transfer of property was made. I had always regarded Johnson to be a conservative and prosperous banker, and never dreamed of his embezzlement..

v' The Four Frieads. Nearly every man can count four frienda on the tips of his fingers. Said Charlie to John: "What do you think of Bill, Tom, Dick *and Harry f-"

John replied: "Four clever fellows, each in his own way. When Bill does a thing, you fatiow it's effected. When Tom does it, you know he's affected. When Dick does it, you know lie's aspectod, and when Harry does it you know it's rejected."~ New York Press.

WASHING SAND FOR CLEAR WATER. A well bored 200 feet through rock was found to absorb sewage from a yard fifty feet away. Probably a Well in sand and gravel would be as safe,

01-

more so, unless

the sewage from a house or vault flows regularly into the sand and gravel, for sand and gravel to be a perfect filter must breathe fresh oxygen between the doses of sewage. The sand which filters the water in the water pipes is washed regularly and kept clean, but the sand and gravel around the private wells are not washed, or If they are it is towards the wells. If well water and filtered river water were of equal purity, which they are tfot, the hydrant water would be preferable because of convenience, labor saving and greater abundance. It is worth the cost of water, IV2 cents a day, to save the work at the windlass or pump.
