TROY, Feb. 1.-THE startling report was circu-
lated this morning that Henry 8. Church, City
Chamberlain, had fed. 1t proved, also, that dis
crepancy of $780, 900 existed IN his accounts. Men

supposed exemplary in morals and conduct, he was
the last man of whom such thing would nave

night. He took with him several thousand dollars
abstracted from the vault of the Chamberlain s
Office, and in addition there was discrepancy OF
5000 between the books of the Office showing
the bank deposits. 1t is not known that he gambled
or speculated in stocks but it is supposed that he
lost money in business by trying to carrythe Potter
Stove Manufacturing Company, bankrupt con-
cern. lie had held Office since 1877, and been once
reappOinted. The bonds were not renewed Tor the
second term and unless the defalcatiOn dates back
three years or more, the city will have to sustain
the loss. He leaves wife and two sons.
Mr.. Church went to Springfield, Mass, Monday,
and was expected home yesterday. IL Is now
thought he has gone TO Europe. Church, has been
seen in Montreal, NewYor and several other cities

Earthquake Weather.

Earthquake weather in the meteor
ological or climatic sense seems to be
mainly connected with such volcanic
disturbances. 1t indicates some change
of conditions in the air, some curious
upsetting of the ordinary circumstances
under which we live, giving rise to very
indelinablc but perfectly recognizable
sensations, not only in man. but in the
lower animals as well. A sudden feel
Ing of awe seems to come over one for
no particular assignable reason; the
birds leave off singing; the dogs for
get to ISwl; the black people drop for
moment from their perpetual high
monotone of shouting and quarreling,
and in a minute the shock is upon one.
Perhaps the vague sense OF discomfort
may be due to electrical conditions
electricity, as usual, comes in handy,
and is much in demand Just at pres
enD; perhaps it may be owing to mere
vapors of sulphur or liberated gases
in the air; perhaps it may be pure SUI
persttion; but almost everybody who
has ever lived in an earthquake coun-
try is tolerably certain that he himself
always feels il. Ii is clear at any rate
that sundry premonitory signs and
tokens do really usher in the advent of
volcanic earthquake Before the
Casamicciola disaster, wells dried up
suddenly, subterranean thunder was
heard and slight oscillations of the
earth took place rs a sort of warning
of the coming catastrophe. Strangest
and most significant of all, as showing
the presence of odd deranging circum-
stances in the atmosphere, or power
ful electrical disturbances, the big
clock in the Sala Bellazzi stopped
twenty minutes before the actual app
proach OF the earthquake, The hot
springs also underwent sudden chan
yes of temperature, another indication
OF the way in which earthquake wealth
er may be produced. Nervous people,
however, may console themselves by
the consideration that the chances of
their being overwhelmed in such an
overflow are practically intinitesimal.
In all probability, if man were to
have an intinity of lives, one after
another. he would have to get killed
in Il railway accident S92 times over,
not to mention several hundred thous-
and natural deaths meanwhile, before
he ever got once himself caught in a
tissure-oruption. - Temple Bar,
