LOAN CLERK CORNWELLS CASE.

The Fourth National Bank has not yet begun any
action against its defaultng loan clerk X. H. Corn
well, who has robbed it in the last few months OF
over $4,000. Shortly after the discovery OF the
embezIlement the officers of the bank reported the
facts to the Controller of the Currency, who is the
proper official to prosecute violations OF the
National Banking Act. They had not received from
the Controller yesterday any intimation OF his pur-
poses in regard to The matter VicePrasident Bald
win said Yesterday that the bank had been informed
that Mr.. Cornwe'l was dangerously i'll, and
therefore il would abstain from prosecuting
him until he had recovered. He added. " If
Cornwell gets well he will be punished for his
crime F; if the Controller thinks it inexpedent to
prosecute him, the bank will do So At the moment
il appears doubtful whether Cornwell Will live a
great while; if he should die. il would hardly be
necessary to takc any action at all"
1t is understood that COrnwell was in the habit of
taking securities, not from call loans, liable To be
disturbed at any moment but from the accounts or
country banks. The securities placed In tne DanK 5
care by country correspondents were likSiy ~ % TO,

SIR: understand that there is difference Of

to the propIiety of eecting to the chair of English
Literature n man whose religious views are not ex-
acty what most people consider orthodox. One of
the candidates is thought to have hurt his chances,
believe, when, on being asked what his religious
views were he replied that he did not know that it
was any business of the trustees what they were,
his religious views being his private property.
This response is supposed by some to be equiva-
lent TO a confession Of belief in "agnostcism," J"
and certain members of the Board shook their
heads gravely. STILL this candidate is now engaged
