Alex Walker, j. W. Nesbit, of the

John S. Robb assistant, John A. Me-
Quaid. Both Congressional candidates
went through by reclamation. A letter

this much in justice to Gen. Garfield,

for Garfield as speaker, bat afterward

A National Bank Suspension.
BnATTLEBoRo, VI, June l6.-The
First National Bank is insolyent and
the President is missing. Poor invest
ments is partially the cause of the de-
ficiency, which will probably reach
$10O, 900. 1t is believed that the inves-
tigation of the banks affairs will reveal
astounding forgeries and that even as
large sums as 100000 in forged paper
will be brought to light, bearing the
names of the most prominent men in
this and other States President Waite
was last heard from in Portland, Me,
where he is supposed to have sailed
for Europe, though his relatives fear
from the tone of the latest advices that
he has committed suicide. A receiver
will have charge of the bank to-day.
-Four hundred thousand dollars is
the reported loss of the suspended First
National Bank of Newark, and still the
directors profess not to know where
the money went If they tell the truth
it may be impossible to send them to
jail but they would not be out of place
