men, having filed the position OF secretary in
both the New York Board Of Fire Underwriters
and he National Board. The defalcation was
managed in the most ingenious manner, and
could have been accomplished only by an e1-

security. These coIlaterals were used by Mr..
Ballard for purposes Of speculation. MIR. Ba.-

OF The Young Mems Christian Association, and
was in attendance at their International Coz
yention at Portland last week, when he was
elected one OF their officers to serve during the
