Heavy DefalcatiOn and Su,pen.iop,

The firm OF Jordan Clark & Co., wholesale
clothIers, No. 80 Summer street, were com
PEELED to suspend on Saturday owing to the
heavy deialcatIon and disappearance Of their
book keeper. The firm has done a successful
business for several years past and supposed
their affairs to be in prosperous condition their
losses the past year not having aggregated more
than two-tifths of one per cent. Their balance
sheet as made up January, 1874 Showed a clear
capital of about S24l 800. Their bookkeeper
FRANK sanford, was married man, about
thirty-two years of age, who had been in the
employ OF the firm for ten years, and but five
years previous to that time had been with Mr..
Jordan at the store OF Isaac Fenno & Co. The
hrm placed IN him the most implicit confidence,
paid him salary of $500, and he had the en-
tire charge of their books. 1t appears that he
was engaged IN making up the annual balance
sheet for the firm and that on Monday last
young woman, about % or %, years old, visited
the store ana had an interview with Sanford,
VINO soon alter left the store, saying that he
should not return to work on the books that
night or the next day. This was thought rath-
er strange; still il was not supposed that his
accounts were wrong or that he had absconded.
After he had been absent two or three days,
with no tdings sof him, the firm became
alarmed and began investigations which devel-
oped the fact that the young woman mentioned
disappeared the same night. 1t is said that
Sanford has been known to gamble for small
amounts but never for large sums
Sanfords wife and children spent last winter
with her father in San Francisco, and about six
weeks ago she started for the same place to re-
main the balance of the present winter An
examination OF the books of the firm shows the
books have been falsified so as to mslead the
partners since 1873 The amount of the deficit
Is very large, though it is impossible at present
10 state the exact amount. Experts are now
making an examination of the books and de-
tectlyes have been placed on the track of the
missing bookkeeper.-Boston journal.

tie met all these accusations with the bold
announcement that, with him, neither place
nor power nor party was Anything but
means to an end beyond and above them
all. and that he would never SEEK nor serve
either except tor the attainment of that
end.
Mr.. Dawes reviewed Mr.. Wilson's ser.
vices IN and out Of Congress. during ii e
; trying years Of the war. and the succeed
Ing epoch. and spoke a follows of his
character:
The personal character Of Mr. Wilson
WAS full of noble qualities, endearing him
to his friends while living and making hls
memory a constant delight. Kindness OF
heart seemed TO mellow his whole nature.
There was in him neither selfi,hness, nor
envy, nor hate. and only generosity. char
ity and good will. He would empty his
pockets and borrow of his neighbor to re-
lieve suffering humanity stretching out its
hands at the corners of the streets He
would toll and travel, day and night with

by he could contribute TO lift the humble
the lowly to manhood and its opportuni-
ties. His physical strength and mental
vigor was spent for others his substance
also, ard when he died he left in all less
than the value of one years salary Tn
derneath all these gentle qualities there
lived personal courage which never
quailed in the face of danger. When. un-

league, for words spoken in debate, fell
upon the floor of the Senate Chamber be-
meath the bludgeon of one mad with the
fury OF the times, Mr.. Wilson. though one
of the youngest Senators in service and
yet hardly known to those among whom
he stood, denounced in his place the as
sault as brutal, murderous and coward
ly.' And then, in answer to challenge
from the assailant himself, he had the
greater courage to defy both him and the
barbarous code behind which such men
skulk in words which will live as long as
the history of those dark times and darker
deeds shall be read OF men. From that
hour TIL the day broke upon a regenerated
Republic he carried his life in his hand
but never to save that life did he deyiata
