FRAUDULENT CONVERSION OF FUNDS.

FRAUDULENT CONVERSION OF FUNDS.
NEW York, July 13.-On complaint of the
receiver of Teutonia Savings bank orders of
arrest have been issued against the trustees
in civil proceedings to recover $4,000,
money of the bank fraudulently converted by
them to their use. The names of the trus-
tees mentioned in the order of arrest are
Louis George, Nicholas Seagrist, Fred K.
Seagrist, Henry Winkel, John Theissis, John
Otto, Jacob Birmon, Chas. Meerse, John
Hamburg, Joseph Wigger, John N. Schnugg,
Nicholas Reinhart, John SLOVENIAN and
Michael Holm. Late this afternoon Louis
George, John Theissis, Charles Mertz and
John Schnugg, four of the trustees, gave
bail in 100000 each. It is understood the
others will appear Monday and give bail.
Michael Holm, secretary of the bank from
1871 to the time of the appointment
of receiver, has made confession in which
he says: 'sWhen I first assumed the Office as
secretary, the trustees urged me to take and
distribute among them such money as I
should be able to make either by commits
sions or otherwise, by investment of the
finds of the bank. All the trustees were
aware the securities had been bought by me
and charged on the books of the bank at
higher rate than the actual purchase price.
After had in this way accumulated several
thousand dollars in differences between the
purchase price and price charged on the
books, divided the amount equally among
the trustees. The salaries of the president,
treasurer and myself, were divided into two
parts, one part was retained by those officers
and myself and the other was divided among
the trustees.

tributary principally under the sovereignty
of the Sultan, with Christian government
and national militia. These articles
further regulate the election of prince
by notables at Tirnova, arrange a
provisional government previous to his cleo
ton. and lay the basis of government after
his election. Articles thirteen to twenty-one
jnclusively relate to the new province called
Eastern Koumelia, south of the Balkins,
which is placed under the direct military and
political authority of the Sultan, with, how
ever, Cristian governor, and on conditions
of antonimious administration. The gov
ernor is to be appointed by the Porte, with
he assent of the powers, for five years.

made for marine cable to Alexandria which
will give direct communication with Eng
land. Among other schemes brought to the
surface by the English occupation of Cyprus
is the Euphrates valley railway. The Duke
of Sutherland and others are in active con-
sultation with the government on the subject
and it is stated if within a reasonable time il
appears the Anglo Turkish convention is sue
cessful as is possible, the country will be
asked to give guarantee for the proposed

was with them, and only got away by
luck. Bunker rode with him for about two
miles after he was shot and he was COM
PEELED to leave him. Foster gave us the
news and we started a team with fourteen
men as escort to go for Bunker. They got
as far as Chief Wincumensat's farm when
they were attacked and compelled to return
after exchanging number of shots. The
Indians are about $50 strong. Umatillas
are undoubtedly fighting with them. Major
Connoyer was with the party attacked. They
think they killed one Indian, as he was
seen to fall from his horse. Coy's house
was pillaged and burned. The stage station
was not burned at dark. Captain Miles
command will reach the agency tonight.
His soldiers are all very much exhausted,
and should they go into the agency, think
