On reaching Eccles office the messenger
found it occupied by strange clerk who
said that Eccles was absent, but he would
receive the geld. The messenger refused
to deliver the gold and returned to the
bank, when it was sscertained That
Eccles' checks in repayment of the loan
were irregular, he not hav-
ing enough money on deposit
to cover the amount called for.
The matter was reported to the Stock
Board, and Eccles was suspended. The
case was placed in the hands of Detectives
Sampson and Doyle who telegraphed to
the residence of Eccles' mother IN
Toronto and received an answer that be
was not there. They subsequently
learned that he was in Montreal. In
few DAYS Eccles returned to New York,
and claimed that the whole affair re-
suited from mistake made by his clerk
in filling out the blank checks which he
left behind him. So strong was the be-
lief in Eccles' innocence ut that time that
Mr.. Jordan and Mr.. Morris were fore
most in advocating his reinstatement In
the Stock Exchange, which was done. On
October 2S, he sold out his seat in the
Stock Exchange for $500, and at the
same time gave up his office in Broad
Street. Since that time he has operated
on the street as an outside broker, and
resided with his wife and family at the
st. Nicholas Hotel. Mr.. Walsh, the
Cashier, and ex-Polce Capt. Mills, the
detective of the st. Nicholas, stated to a
Times reporter on Thursday evening
that Eccles han left there suddenly on
the night of the 1lth inst. and gone to
Missouri. They had heard rumors re-
gardlng irregularities committed by
hlm, but declined to make any state
ment. Mr.. p. G. Calhoun, President Of
the Third National Bank, informed a
Times reporter yesterday that Ecces had
vlctimzed the Bank of Ohio Valley, of
Wheeling, w. Va. to theamount OF $40
OsO. From the statement of MIR. Cal
houn it would appear that the Ohio Val
lev Bank authorized Ecc!es to purchase
for them, on a margin, quantity OF
bonds. Eccles did so, paying up mar
gin of $4,000 on the bonds. Two weeks
ago the Ono Valley Bank instructed
Ecc!es to recall. the bonds, satisfy the
margin, ana deposit the money with the
Fourth National bank. Eccles did SO,
but did not deposit the money with the
Fourth National. President Calhoun
also informed the reporter that Eccles
had also victimized another bank IN
Wheeling by the same means. Detec-
tive Sampson received information yes
terday that Eccles had arrived in Toron-
to from Montreal. AS EccleS' otiense is
one classed as breach of trust or con-
structive larceny, he cannot be exlradlted
from Canada.

DILAToRY LEGISLATION.
There is much complaint in the ranks
of the opposition about the slowness OF
legislation. There is evident fear that
unless the Democrats "push things, and
blunder, the great party Of "morsl ideas
will be ruined. Conservative delibers-
ton is bitter to them, and in disagreesbie
contrast with the radical clap trap that has
ruled in legislation for the last ten or
fifteen wears, and which found It's climax
in the force bill. The Democritc major
ity, like all moral forces, is working slow
", but it is working surely. The
Augean stables were not cleansed in q
day, vet they had been fouled by only
three thousand oxen. There are $1,000
in the administration stables now, fed
from the public crib. There will not be
so many when the present Congress
completes its work.
The numerous Investigations that are
organized are working quietly, one OF
them has discovered that the immacu-
late Jewell has been paying as a govern
ment clerk, a man from Arkansas WHO
did not work one day in the Postotfice
Department, bat spent his time by order
of the Postmaster General in making
campaign speeches in Connecticut. This
is only one of hundreds of such frauds as
have been perpetrated for years almost
without protest, and it is impossible
to stop them except by cutting down the
appropriations till cabinet ministers are
left without cent to spend for "the
party"
CUPID IN TIE SENATE CHAMBER.
Society has not yet recovered from the
sensation OF the recent senatorial mes
alliance. This is what they call the mar
riage of nineteen-yea old maiden with
widower and pateJamtIids OF sixty
four. Our gossips have been quite Sc
we're upon the young lady and her
scheming mother, who, it seems, were at
the same boarding house, and played
sunshine and angel to the rugged old
Michigan Senator during brief illness.
But alas! for the variety of charity, would
not these Same gossips have done the
same thing if they had had the opportu-
nifty or enterprise? We honor young
men, with the entire world before them,
when they succeed in life, that is make
money; but, after confning woman to
the narrow avenue of misunderstanding,
we criticise her mercilessly when she does
"big thing" in that. Give woman a
chance! Is 1t not leap year2 a month
ago Mrs. ChriStiancy was in the Treasu-
ry Department. She has not married an
Adonls or a Croesus, and. upon the
whole, | think the successor OF Zach
Chandler is the more enyiable party in
he romance.

The great civil war, lnsurrection or
rebellion, whatever 1t is in Spain, seems
about ended. The Carlists have suffered
3 tremendous and apparently crushing
defeat, and report says are about to sue
cumb before :he prowess of King ALFONSO

heard this same story very frequently
before, there really seems now to be some
substantial foundation for it.

Mr.. BEECHER wants "every man,
woman and child" everybody in
Heaven and everybody in Heir who
knows anything about him to speak it
now, or henceforth forever hold their
peace. A pretty strong invocation,
second only to his challenging the AL
mighty Himself to speak the truth in
his case. In face of these utteraaces of
the reverend gentleman, the conclusion
cannot but be reached. that HENRY
WARD BEECHER is either the worst per-
secuted man on the face of the globe, or
he is the most recklessly vile man who
was ever born.

Horrible Death-'TerribIe Torture.

LOUISVILLE. February 20.-As horri-
BILE death probably as is possible for q
man to suffer occurred at Lagrange, Ky,
at IL o'clock Saturday night. The VIC
tim was John Finnegsn, AL engineer
of the Short Line Railroad, whom the
company considered one of their
best men. At the time Finnegan was
on a freight train, an axle broke
and precipitated the engine and cara
down slight embankment. Finnegsn
by some means was caught fast by the
machinery and held, so that his compan-
ions could :ro. aee;t his release. Two
streams of not water poured upon his face
and body from boiler. NJ relief could
be extended the sufferer, and after the
most horrible agony became unconcious
and soon died. The skin from his face and
BODY peeled of before his own eyes.
When a physician from Louisville ar
rived Finnegsn WAS dying, with his
tongue almost dropping off from the
effects of hot water, which had forced
Itself into his mouth.
