Quite an excitement was created in
Chester last week by the discovery
that two men, who were trusted by
the community, had proved them
selves defaulters, and absconded.-
One was George M. Pardoe. Esq,
Secretary of the Citizens Building
Association. He eleft Chester several
days ago, saying that he would soon
return; but as he failed to put in an
appearance, suspicion was aroused,
and his papers examined into. In
his safe was found letter to Mr..
William B. Broomall, and a deed of
assignment, in which he made over
all the property he had to that gen
tleman- He admitted in the letter
that he was a defanlter of the funds
of the Building Association to the
amount of S13,50O. and explained
how the embezzlsment was accom-
phshed He began in 1876 by rais-
ing the loans borrowed from the com
pany, in the following manner II
q stockholder borrowed eight hun
dred dollars, he recorded a loan of
one thousand dollars on his books
and pocketed the difference. By this
means he soon abst,acted the large
amount before mentioned The loss
will not especially cripple the associ
alton, but VIII require abont six
months longer to run out than would
otherwise have been the case. Par.
doe had other trust money in his pos
session, which he stole, and which
viii cause more distress than this
larger theft.
The other defaulter was a man
named George H. Lewis, who some
months ago made hrs appearance in
Chester in behalf of the temperance
cause His zeel and enthusiasm soon
made friends for him in that temper
anceloving city, and he became affil
lated with number of the prominent
o:.izsns. Beside being a lecturer he
represented himself to be an invent
or, and eventually managed to organ
ize company with himself as Pres
ident for the manufacture aud sale
of certain patent appliance. Re
Gently Lewis departed, and the gen
tleman who entered actively into the
manufacturing project with him found
themselves each about ten Thousand
dollars out of pocket Nothing has
since been heard of the two men
and it is thought that they have gon,
to Join Bullard--Wesf Chester Repu5

DISPATCHES.

WILLIAMsPoRr, March 2S.-The
saw mill of Sand Herdic & Co, on the
south side of the river, was totally de-
stroyed BY FIRE early yesterday morn
ing. The saw mill was valued at
$25, 900, on which there was an iusur-
ance of only S3.500. The loss on the
furniture mandatory is $4,000: in
surance $4,000. One hundred work
men are thrown out of employment.
As the saw-mill was not running it is
supposed to have been set on fire.

FOREIGN.

The Mexican newspapers declare
that United States Minister Foster i.
an obstacle in the way of settling the
difficulties between Mexico and the
United States, and charge that he is
actuated by personal motives.
The French in Mexico are doing
every thing to throw the Mexican Gov
ernment into hostile attitude toward
the United States. They fear q com
mercial treaty will be made with the
United States, which would be injur-
ions to their interests, as all the COM
merce of Mexico is now in European
hands.
A report comes from St Alexandra,
Canada. thar recent developments
strongly point to La Page, who was
hung at Concord, n N, for the mur-
der of Josie Langmaid, as the perpet-
ator Of the coId-blooded murder of two
women, mother and daughter, 1t that
place ten years ago.

the issuance of the writs.
The President sent to the Senate the
nomination of of Hon. Glenni W.
Scoield, of Pennsylvania, to be Regis
ter of the Treasury, vice Hon. John
Allison, of Pennsylvania deceased.
The appointment, though not looked
for, gives great satisfaction to every
body, because of Mr. Sco6elds ability
and sterling character. He will be
welcomed back by host of friends to
Washington life. for which he has de-
ciled liking. The Pennsylvania dele
cation seems to have had nothing to do
with the appointment. Mr.. Sco6eld
and the President served together in
Congress and have been warm srieIds
ever since. 1t appears to have been a
/. personal affair.
