A HEAVY DEFALCATION.
An Insurance OAicer Specuiatcs With
Corporate Funds-Sl75,O 900 Missing.

IL seems that when other cities are gradually re-
covering from the effects OF the recent financial
panic we here are being plunged still deeper in
the mire OF distress through the ventilation OF
criminal negligence or dishonesty on the part OF
persons entrusted with public and private moneys
The latest financial irreguarity--to use mild
term for twas brought TO light this afternoon
The amount involved Is fixed at $l75,00o. The suf-
ferers are the Eureka and Boatmen's Insurance
companies and the person who was instrumental
In ipipairing their resources to this amount Is
their secretary. Robert Finney
This genteman's standing In the community was
above that OF ordinary business men. He was
retary OF the above named insurance companies
since their organization, was member or the Fire
Department. Commission, and was secretary Of the
commission appointed by the government to select
site for the new government buildings. The
reason OF Fnney's embarrassment is his love for
speculating on money which didn't belong to him.
Some months ago he invested heavily In stocks
using funds in his possession belonging to the two
insurance companies which he represented in
speculation The great financial panic had q
severe effect on stocks, as is generally known and
tonlshing shrinkage which all stocks were sub
jected to. Pacific Mail he held to considerable
Company, In the Franklin and Sandy Creek Coal
Company, started In 1864 during the great oil
citement, and also held stock in the well-known
Elershausen 1ronmakng process OF five or six
years ago.
When he discovered that he was unable to extri-
cate himself from the meshes he had fallen into he
made known the facts Of the case to the directors
OF the Eureka and Boatmen's companies He at
tempted to conceal nothing, but acknowledged the
error he had fallen into and laid all his books and
papers before the directors of the companies tor
examination. He also surrendered all his personal
property OF every nature, which, 1t is thought VIII
realize something like $4,000.
The Eureka Company has called meeting OF Its
stockholders to be held next week, when the books
are to be fully investigated Sufficient has been
ascertained to show that the company is left en-
tirely safe and that the holders OF policies are in
no wise jeOpardZed The B0atmen'S Company

PATERsoN's PANIC.

The Good Intentions of the Mayor and
Council Tow ards the Poor Checked by
the Lack of Legal Authority in the
Charter of the City.
The Aldermanc Committees of Finance and
Streets, seeing that people would starve unless
something were done immediately, resolved to set
so men at work yesterday at breaking stones at ST.
a day. The resolution became noised about so
suddenly that the City Hall was literally besieged
with applicants, and although only the most needy
cases of married men with large families were at
tended to- l25 orders were issued for work upon
the streets.
As soon as the people found out that these orders
were being issued several went to Mayor Town.

1ty IN the charter lor the city to employ men under
paw for it. The Mayor and Aldermen soon o found.
despite the charitable nature OF the movement,
that there would be public clamor against 1t, and
accordingly all the proposed work stopped,
and public meeting OF citizens was called for
Monday night, to say whether or not the city
ment OF the poor. 1t is estimated
that fully 1000 men could be set to work by the
city in this way II the question Is settled about the
authority to do it and the way to raise the neces-
sary money Is clear. 1t would, no doubt cost the
city about 100000.
While most OF the applicants for city assistance
are OF the laboring class many applied yesterday
who were intelligent men and really skilful me-
cnanics. such q thing was never seen In Paterson
before. While the government and citizens are
quarrelling over the authority and the money many
are actually suffering from want, and something
must be done soon. There seems to be want Of

posed.

visions and clothing may be contributed has been
established in the Main street Methodist church,
but its work is yet limited. 1t is hoped on all sides
that the public meeting on Monday night will re-
suit in the perfection OF some plan that will put
things in systematic shape.
The committee appointed to wait upon the manu-
facturers to see II they could not reopen their
establishments on stock work at nominal wages
report considerable encouragement, which may
result in getting employment at low wages for
large number. This plan, although much prefer
