A BANK TELLER,s CRIME.
Only Ten Thousand Dollars stolen from
anew Jersey Bank.

hNeW SeFbey hhhhs
NEW York, March 1.-The bank build.
ing at Pavonia avenue and Erie street,
Jersey City, in which the defunct City and
the Fifth Ward Savings banks did busi-
ness, was a perfect nest for bank thieves.
When Boyce, Beach and Shaw were ar
rested it was supposed that they had done
all the stealing, but the result Of the inves.
tigation showed that Robert z. Cook, the
teller of the savings bank, had been ap.
propriating money to his own use.
The fact that deficiency existed was
detected by William Muirhead, who was
appointed TO make an examination OF the
savings bank affairs. He discovered that
there was a deficit OF about $4,000, but
could not definitely locate it. He ac-
quainted District Attorney McGill with
the fact. When the Chancellor made the
bank a ward OF the Court Of Chancery and
instructed the trustees 10 wind 1t up the
trustees were apprised Of the deficit and
two expert accountants were employed 10
locate Il. They found that Cook had stolen
$l0,S00. He bad concealed his thefts by
means OF forged receipts, false entries and
opening fictitious accounts. The thefts
began in 1879 and during the last month Of
the existence Of the bank he stole $3.50.
A warrant was issued for his
arrest on Monday night by Justice
Davis, OF Jersey City, on com.
plant OF Charles L. Rickerson, one Of the
trustees, and given to Detective Stanton
for service. The officer visited Paterson,
where Cook resides, and took him into
custody. He was taken 10 the bank and
confronted with the officers Of the institu.
ton and District Attorney SfcGill. He
was shown an itemized statement Of his
peculations and the sight Of this staggered
him After recovering bis seli-posSession
he said lyon are right, the figures are
right; stole the money" He was lodged
in the County Jail. Cook is thirty.three
years old and Is unmarried. It presumed
that he knew OF the thiOving that was
being carried on by Boice, Beach and Shaw,
and, like them, began to live extrayagantly
ana speculate on the banks funds.

FEBRUARY AMONG THE WELLS
Details Regarding the Drilling and
other DeysIupments.

Otuer betttupneutbs
BRADFORD, Pa, March 1.-The oil report
for the month OF February shows a grad
ual increase Of drilling operations in all
fields except Butler, which is on the de-
cline. There is a large falling of in the
production as compared with last month,
but this is largely due to the fact that the
Shannon well, which came in during Jam
uary, started of at thousand barrel gait
February did not witness the striking OF
any big wells in Forest county, and the
total new production of the Warren and
Forest county field, rating the Gran.
din No. 5 at 100 barrels, Is
put at 200 barrels. The Por-
cupine well, OF which so much was expect
ed, and which for time was terror to
the trade, has been added TO the list OF
completed wells, here production being
put at ten barrels. The Grandin No. 5,
north Of Balltown, which has not yet fin
ished drilling, Is comparatively small
affair. Another report gives the following:
Rigs up and building on the last day OF the
month, 124; wells drilling, 1875; wells com.
pleted, l24; new production, 2,7S9 barrels.
It will thus be seen that while there has
been something OF an increase in operations
there has been a falling off in the produc-
ton Of the new wells and that, too, in the
face Of the addition to the list Of producers
Of several large wells in Forest county.

TnE nEAUGUsrlNIAN SOCIETY.
The Directors of the Society Make q
statement of Affairs.


LAWRENCE, MASS, March 1.-The Au.
gustinian Fathers have made the following
financial statement Of the Catholic churches
in Lawrence: Liabilities, sos; personal &C.
counts, $4O5,40O; interest outstanding to
January, 1888, 1900; mortgages, $4,000;
total, $56SSOO. The assets Of St. Mary's
Church and grounds, $500, 900; parochial
residence, $4,000; convent and grounds,
$4,000; st. Mary's schools and grounds,
sos 900; Immaculate Conception Church,
S85,O00; Immaculate Conception resi-.
dence, $4,000; st. Lawrence's Church,
$4,000, st. Angustine's chapel, S..
600; cemeteries, $4,000. Total, S56s,000.
This leaves apparenuya surplus Of 81, 700,
but as the market value Of the assets are
much less than cost, there is q deficiency
rather than surplus. The official state
ment causes a depreciation in the so.
ciety's affairs 10 accordance with the facts
already given. Most Of the income has
been absorbed by the expense Of main.
tanning the clergy, building schools,
&c, which amounted to $4,000 an.
nually, and above all by the large sums
paid as interest upon deposits
and mortgages which, beginning with 1854,
amounts TO 500, 600. It proposes TO pay
annually at least $25, 900 oi deposits and as
much more as the endeayors OF the mem
bers here and elsewhere can obtain. It
asks that depositos forbear for time en-:
forcing claims, and that congregations Of
the various churches cooperate with their
pastors In liquidating every claim. Three
more attachments were made on church
property 10, day by depositors.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March lone Of
the most Objectionable Of the Treasury
Department rules, which requires the
watchman to report employees seen loiter-

revoked to-day. This is very sensible
act, and the acknowledgment thus made
that mistake had been committed in es-

tremely Objectionable and humiliating is to
be commended. The fact that member
OF Congress was insulted while talking to
the head al one Of the Treasury Bureaus in

press on the penitentiary system inaugur.
a,ed in the department by small.minded
officials, who made cheap display Of

forcement OF rules designed to facilitate

Together with the Former Secretary OF
the Manhattan Insurance Company.
NEW YoRK, March Lewis z. Carman,
formerly Secretary OF the Manhattan Fire
Insurance Company, whose disappearance
was reported is the police on Tuesday, has
beeen found to be a defaulter to the extent
Of nearly forty thousand dollars. The dis.
covery was accidental. Although he was
dismissed from the employment of the
company at the beginning Of the year, no
suspicion OF his honesty was aroused until
within a few days. The fact that discrep.
ancies in his accounts had been found was
carefully concealed by the officers OF the
company until to day. At the meeting oi
the directors this afternoon the result ot.an
expert examination OF the company's books
was made known, and the probable limit Of
theSecretarys peculations fixed. Areportoi
the ecompany's affairs TO be submitted to the
Insurance Department was completed. but
the details OF this report were refused for
publication. 1t Is understood, however,
that the entire capital Of The company
S200,000-has been lost, and that by the
most rigid economy will the assets be madc
sufficient to meet the liabilities. OF this
large depreciation Of over $4,000 within
year, the deialcation OF the former Secre.
tary accounts for only $4,000, and it has
been learned in the course Of this investi-
cation that this extends over the last ten
or twelve years..
The missing man Is thirtythree years
old, and is bald. He wore, when last seen,
dark suit, gold watch with a black dial

TELEGRAPHIC
CROOKS CRITICS.

News from the Warlike Apaches.
San Francisco, 12.-F. A. Schultz, a
miner and Arizona Indian scout, lately
returned from Sonora, New Mexico,
speaking of the results of Crooks cam
paigp, said the Indians had never gone
on the Carlos reservation, but had re.
manned at Caros Janos, twenty miles
from the nearest military post. People
of Sonora disspproyed Crooks Indisn
tactics, and claim it was be who put the
Apaches in fighting trim. Crooks policy
ia equally unpopular in Arizona, it being
acknowledged that the Apaches were
stronger after the war than they were be-
fore. Schultz estimates about 1000
bucks still in the mountains ready to 20
on the Warpa!h on tina slightest proYoca-
ton.
Tombstone, ArizoDs, special: News
has been received from Joyce's rancho,
Twisshelm mountains. OF mysterious
military movements in that vicinity.
On Sunday last the celebrated scout
"MicEey Free" arrived there, and stated
he had come from Fort Bowie. He
wanted to know the nearest way TO Cap
tain Rafsrty's camp. Ae departed i'm
medistely on being informed. On Tues
day 70 lowing, ffty-three Indian scouts
with three white men arrived. One of
the latter said they had come from San
Carlos and were in pursuit of fourteen
renegades from the reservation, who, it
was believed, had headed for Sonora after
having killed two white man in Chirics-
hus mountains. The inference ia that the
military authoiit tiles Of Fort Bowie had
learned Of the escape of the Irdiana from
the reservation and dispatched Mickey
Free to inform Captain Rafferty, to inter-
cept their progress. A Mormon living
in the Chiricahua mountains confirms
the killing OF the two whites.
