The foNKERs BANK DEFALCATloN.-A feeling OF
Intense Indignation is manifested among the people
Of Yonkers at the alleged heartess manner in which
5. p Stokes, the defaulting cashier, betrayed the
trust reposed IN him. On Friday a letter. dated
windsor, c. W., was received from Stokes, at the
hotel where he boarded III the village, requesting
that his trunk be sent on, together with the amount
of his board bill His effects had been examined
previously, but were found to contain nothing OF
pecunlary nature. ON the day above mentioned his
late employers also received communication from
Stokes, In which II was stated that he had lost the
$40, 600 by Djudicious speculation. An agent has
been sent by the bank TO Canada In order that al
least correct statement OF how the funds were
misapplied may be obtained, as it has been decided
by counsel that the delinquent is secure from legal
measures, No public statement OF the present
status OF the bank IN question has yet been maze.

what course they should pursue yesterday AFTER
noon; but II was postponed for some reason until

The SING SING CAMP MEtTI, G.-Thus far the camp
meeting at Sing Sing in point OF numbers and en-.
thusasm has not proved quite so successful as some
OF those which have been held on the same time
honored camping ground In former years. Whether
the reason for comparatively sma Il attendance
ths year may found in the TACT that similar out
door religious exercises in adjoining States are
doubtless attracting goodly number OF partici-
pants we are unable to say; certain II Is that up
the present sore disappointment has been felt
among the boarding houses, drinking sa-
looms and hack drivers or sing sing, at the
absence Of general 'rushn OF visitors, on which
they had agreeably calculated. 1t is wen known
that many leading MethOdists in the village have
always been opposed 10 the meeting being held over
ON the Sabbath, and these, with their families and
friends, take no part whatever IN the proceedings.

KILLED ON THE NORRIS AND EssRx RAILROAD
An inquest was held yesterday, by coroner White,
Oh the body Of an unknown man. who was conveyed
TO Hoboken on Friday night, having been fatally In
jured on the Norris aud Essex Railroad As the ex-
press train No, 4, which left Boboken at quarter
past four O'Clock p. NJ. on Friday, was running
rapidly between Orange and Orange Valley, the man
appeared pacing the ends OF the tiles about nalf
mile ahead. The engineer blew the whistle re-
peatedy, but the man failed to walk aside
as he probably iancied himself secure. The
signal 20 apply the brakes was then gwen, but as
most frequently happens in such emergencies, the
warning was given too late, and the train came upon
the unio>-..ate man. The buffer OF the locomotive
styScK his head and he was hurled 10 distance Of
twenty feet from the rails. When the train was
stopped some OF the officials returned and carried
the injured man TO seat in one OF tue cars Though
none OF the wheels passed over him he was unable
TO move or speak. He was taken to the next sta
ton, whence he was removed to ST. Marys Hos
pital. at Hoboken but died in the arms
Of an attendant before he reached the insttu-
lIon. "A post moIttm tAdUluation Was ildue Dy Dr.
Chaubert, whereupon a scalp wound, four inches
long, was found inflicted on the head, and the lm
pressons OF severe bruises were visible about the
body. The jury returned verdict IN accordance
with the facts The deceased was about forty-five
years OF age, had black hair and whlskers, wore
linen clothes, and the fore finger of one hand was
somewhat deformed. He was identified as V. X.
Locke, Of Marathon, y. Y.
Later in the evening, some distance further mp
the road. at place called Stone House, elderly
Irish woman named Frances Cleary, resident or
South Orange was struck by the Morristown accom-
sllfIn inn hQf Ioaf nd
after. she hfty-ive years OF age. In view OF
the nnumerabe accidents OF this character II Is
very properly suggested that measures be taken at
the next session OF the Legislature 10 have all
railroads properly enclosed.

Four Lessons from House Top

Had you noticed the top of that large
new building from your room?" said a
friend who stood at my window few days
ago.
No. said |, looking out at once; when
the new dome and finished turrets of a
public edifce appeared in the distance
against the sky.
Glow delightful it would be-" said one
after looking at it a moment, 'if we could
get, now and then, even that much of a
glimpse ofthe Celestial City. How it would
strengthen our faith p'
''By faith John saw more than such a
glimpse" was the reply; "even the whole
city. The New Jerusalem coming down
from God out of heaven If we look less
earnestly at the things which are seen and
temporal, we shall see more wildly with
the eye of faith those which are unseen
and eternal"
The words fell pleasantly upon my ear,
and the little glimpse of that beautiful
dome becomes very precious to me day af-
ter day; always reminding me of "the city
without foundations whose builder and
maker is God" And as I should probably
not have noticed this buildings top above
the crowded mass of houses between, had
it not been pointed out to me by friend
so, thought, many fail to get a glimpse OF
the heavenly mansion, unless some one
used to Cooking beyond point them out
with a word of interest and love.
81 wish | could see more of it, said to
myself, looking upon the very little portion
of my favorite dome, one day; but content
! ed myself with the wish, with no thoughts

young girl, who had come to draw water.
Dry? yes, ma'am; very often, in hot
weather.
And where do you % for water then? ?"
TO the spring, little way outof town.
and if the spring dries up"
Why, then we go to the stream higher
up-the best water of ALL
But if the stream higher up fails"
"Why, ma'am, that stream never dries
up, never It is always the same, winter
and summer
Invent to see this precious brook, which
''never dries up 1t was a clear spark
ling riyulct, coming down the high hill
not with torrent leap and roar, but with
soft murmur Of fullness and freedom It
flowed down to the highway side. It was
within reach of every child's little pitcher.
1t was enough for every empty vessel. The
small birds came down thither to drink
The sheep and lambs had trodden down
little path to its brink. The thirsty beasts
of burden, along the dusty road knew the
way to the stream that "never dries up"
1t reminded me of the waters of life and
salvation flowing from the ''Rock of Ages, p"
and brought within the reach Of all men
by the gospel Of Jesus Christ Every 9TH
er brook may grow dry in the days Of
drought and adversely, but this heavenly
spring never ceases to flow.
Thirsting soul, you may come and drink.
Wearied and fainting, lingering disappoint-
ed around the broken cisterns Of human
hope and consolation, Jesus calls you to
himself
eff any man thirst let him come unto
me and drink" The water from ia
cob's well was refreshing, but it was hard
to obtain; but to the sinful woman there
Christ offered living water. Jesus said unto
her, "Whosoever drinketh Of this water
shall thirst again But whosoever drinketh
of the water that l shall give him, shall
never thirst; but the water that shall give
him shall be in him well of water spring
ing up into everlasting life"
Friend, have you drank from the stream
that never dries? then you can sing

Thy wounds, Emmanuel, all forbid
That 1 should seek my pleasures there"
