Martins story.

THE RECEIVING TELLER OF THE BANK AT COATES
yLLE-FAsHGoNABLE LIVING AT $1,000. YEAR
STOCK GAMBLING AND DEFALoArIoN.
Stating the fact Of the recent capture Of John
l.. Martin, receiving teller of the National Bank
of Coatesville the West Chester Republican says
His is the old story over-stock gambling or
speculation. Martin is young man-about
twenty-five years Of age--of fine abilities as
clerk and accountant, and possessed the full
confidence Of the officers of the institution with
which he WAS connected. He had been in tho
bank several years and had been promoted
from clerk to teller year or more ago he
married Miss Cause, OF Philadelphia, former
teacher in the public school Of Coatesville, and
built handsome house at a cost Of several
Thousand dollars, and furnished 1t accordingly.
He lived -fashionably for that place--all ON
a salary of about thousand dollars per year.
But he was engaged in stock speculations
through firm OF brokers in Philadelphia. As
long as he was successful small amount OF
actual capital answered. And II ls SAID that Tor
time he was quite fortunate-luc that he
had cleared considerable sum of money at one
time.
But luck changed as it will in all gambling
operations LOSSES were sustained and money
was needed. Where better to oobtaini it then out of
| the Golfers under his charge. 1t could be re-
turned when his luck changed. But that time
never came. One loss followed another until a
| deficit is put down Of twenty-five or thirty thou
sand dollars This loss was not discovered un-
| til after he had Ab=eondtd, and even then the
| amount not ascertained for time 80 expert
| an accountant is he that in April last, as he
| states, the bank examiner detected deficiency
| of three thou and dollars in his account ut he
| made satisfactory explanation, and 80 the
temptations Of wealth aud luxury, and now oc

The Philadelphia Democracy Totally Dem
sd


[Philad Correspondence B lcks Co. Intelligecer
The Democratic party in Philadelphia appears
10 be more demoralized than nave ever before
seen il. There is a want of confidence among
the managing men that looks al though after
the Presidential election there might be gener-
al break up. 1t s by this time no secret that il
the Republican managers had stood in need Of
votes they could have obtained those OF the
Democratic masses without bribery or cheating
Of any kind. They did get great many, and
would have got far more, by simply making
terms with men in want OF work or with leaders
who we're weary of working for dead horse.
In some wards arrangements of this kind were
made. The actual strength that offered was
30 great that the more prudent Republicans be-
came alarmed lest the machine should become
unmanageable.
II all the tales told by the qreeleyi.es about
the desperation of the Republican managers had
been true, the majority would have been 10000
instead of 20, ,000 for the props would all have
been knocked from under the opposition. You
may Judge of the extent of the tumble when
tellyou that even Randall could have been beaten
in his strong Democratic district for Congress
The fact is that in Philadelphia GIeeleyism is as
weak as a sick cat and the only fear OF the Re
publican leaders here is that in the vast inunda'
ton they will lose all ability to restrain or CON
troll things.
