Violating the Sunday Law.

Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes ar
rived at Norwich late on Saturday evening
and was the guest 'EoYer Sunday" Of the
Rev. DIR. Leonard Woolsey Bacon pastor
of the Park church, the-Wealthiest parish
in the city. The ex-President came: :unno-
ticed and unattended, and doubtless little
thought that his visit would cause such a
commotion as has been awakened in this
section Of Connecticut. DR.. Bacon two
years ago last Sunday denounced in scath-
ing inyeetiye the managers of the pleasure
steamer Ella for taking out one or two ex-
cursion parties on Sunday. At q tent mass
meeting he presented his views SO strongly
that the Sunday patronage Of the steamer
was ruined and the enterprise has never
since been revived. DIR. Bacon went SO far
as to cause the arrest Of James Walker, the
manager of the line, digging up for this
purpose the old Connecticut "Blue Law, -
upon which he based his sweeping state
ments. The statute is as follows:
SECTION 62.--Every proprietor or driver
of any vehicle not employed in carrying
the United States mail who shall allow any
person to travel therein on Sunday, be-
tween sunrise and sunset. except from ne
cessity or mercy, shall be fined $40, to be
paid to the town in which the ofense is
committed.
DR.. Bacon,s conduct created intense feel
ing against him among the working people
and his action Sunday in violating the
same law which he then so strenuously up
held, has been severely commented on by
the press and by many Of our citizens. On
Sunday afternoon DR.. Bacon took ex-
President Hayes and Congressman John
T. Wait in fine team and drove his dis
tinguished guests about the city, visiting
the principal places OF interest. By the
provisions Of the statute above quoted the
DR.. has rendered himself liable to arrest,
inagmuch as he acted as a driver for the
party, and it was announced last evening
that manager Walker, Of the prosecuted
steamboat line, is considering the propriety
Of the apprehension. The affair has Great
ed a hearty laugh among the legal fratern-
ity at the Doctors expense. What excuse
he may offer is unknown. Congressman
Wait said last night that he failed to see
wherein Mr.. Hayes and himself were am
enable to the law, as they were neither
owners nor drivers OF the team.-Neec

Stolen Millions

New YORK, October 3l.-Yhe Posts
Newark special says: The cashier Of the
Mechanics National Bank yesterday told
the directors that the bank was unable to
pay it's debts. They offered to subscribe
half million dollars, but he said two mill
lions would not do it, and they decided to
suspend. The last statement showed de-
posits of $2,417, 900. James A. Halsey is
President, and Oscar L. Baldwin cashier
and manager. Baldwin Is considered re-
sponsible for the trouble. The news was
a thunderclap. The institution was DEEM
ed the strongest in the city and its officers
the most trustworthy while Baldwin stood
high as financier. He has been arrested
as an embezzler, and Government exam
iner sent for. The New York banking
connection loses nothing, having refused
erals. Nugent & Co., who are involved
with the bank. have suspended, and other
failures are anticipated. 1t is alleged that
the only resources Of the bank is the build
ing, worth $4,000. The warrant for the
arrest Of Baldwin charges him with confess
sing to the board that he had fraudulently
used two millions Of the banks funds.
The directors are sitting with closed doors,
and there are the widest rumOrs aftoat.
Nobody but the cashier is suspected. He
had the unlimited confidence of the board.
The confession was made because he fear
ed a visit from the Bank Examiner. The
city and county lose about $40 900 each Of
deposits, the Water Board $37 900, and
manufacturing companies smaller sums.
II is not yet known where the money has
gone but it is alleged that the Wall street
speculations Of Baldwin have absorbed it..
1t appears that Baldwin got away with
everything but the safe, which is very
heavy one. The bank held all the deposits
of the old Mutual Life Insurance Company
amounting. from $500, 900 to.$1, 100000. T
is believed that nota penny of this amount
was saved.
Cashier Baldwin, while confined to his
residence, was waited on by the District
Attorney and Commissioner Of the Treas
ury and admitted to bail in the sum of
5000. His bondsmen are VIM. 4. Free
man, of Bloomfield, his brother, William
Baldwin, and Matthias Dodge, Of East Or
ange. Baldwin then stated reluctantly that
about 1873 he began to make loans to C.
Nugent & Co., without security or the
sanction of the directors. Having begun
he was in the power of Nugent & Co., and
continued to accommodate them, some-
times loaning them $4,000 in one month
till the total increased to a ruinous amount.
Nugent assured him that he had large
property and cash assets in the business.

journs, soon be obliged to make a large
number Of appointments to offices the

Washington special says: A ''crank''
called at the Capitol to-day, claiming to be
elected Vicc-President and that tDavis was
q usurper. He said he had been unable to
come here earlier because ofssiekness. He
was surprised to learn that the Senate had
adjourned, but said he should wait until
December before pressing his claims fur
ther, and then he would assume the chair
and expose Davis pretensions. The visitor
was middle aged and benevolent looking.
He said his name was Thomas Jefferson,
and he was grandson Of the framer of
the Declaration of Independence and a
minister by profession. On this last ac-
count he intended to make itone of his first
duties after taking the office to dissuade the
Senators from 5induiging in whisky and
other intemperate habits. Practically, he
said, he was Wing with Know Nothing
tendencies.
