been transferred from the bank to the now
Union National. Cashier GarreSon was count

in an inner vault and found il short. Only HIM
self and Stanley had the combination 10 the
latter vault. Supposing that Stanley, who was
above reproach, could explain the matt ter, 1u-
retson summoned him. The teller's lace pan
ched as he said; ''Come into your private oiiiao

and lost it all in speculation in grain IL Chicago
and through two brokerage firms in this CITY.
He was conveyed to the residence OF PRESIDENT

A NEW ENGINE OF WAR.
Successful Experiments with the Electric
Torpedo Boat,

A successful series of nj ght experiments wit
the electric torpedo Loaf have just been con-
cluded at the experiment station near Charles
Iland, Conn They were witnessed by gov
eminent officials from Washington and from
Governors Island, New Yort. All previous
experiments haye been made in the Daytime.
The boat is ol sheet iron, about thirty ieel
long, cigar-shaped, the machinery OF winch Is
secret known only to two Connecticut IN
ventors 1t floats with the top just above the
waves, and is invisible at night. 1t Is pro
pelled by a screw and steered by rudders, All
of which are worked by electricity. The
electricity IS supplied by W res which unroel
from the station as the boat goes Out. Inc
apparatus can be worked from a ship at sea
when necessary. The plan Of operation COM
prehends an explosive torpedo placed on the
nose of the boat and then guided against an
enemy's vessel or foriification. The boat runs
at the rate OF sixteen miles an hour, and IS
readily s,cered in any direction, either under
or out OF water. 1t was sent around Charles
Island buoy and return, distance OF two
miles, in a remarkably brief space OF time. 1t
will be taken 10 Sandy Hook in few days,
where torpedoes will be used, andthe blowing
up to an old hulk placed mile from the shore
will be undertaken. The officials who WIT
| messed the workings of this mysterious and
murterous machine are confident that 1t Is the
most perfect engine of the kind ever inyented'

At Poke Hollow, a mining village six miles
Iom Wilkosbarre, about four acres OF land
recently caved in, and in some places settled
from eighteen inches to two feet Several
houses were more or less damaged. Early in
the morning loud report resembling the
shock OF an earthquake was heard, and im-
mediately the foundations OF the houses began
to crumble away and the dwellings themselves
to turn over. Without making any efforts TO
save their property, the terror-strcken people
fled to place of safety. The greatest excite
ment prevailed. All the bottoms of the wells
have dropped out, and a water famine is i'm

miles in circumference, and every dwelling

is liable to fall into the mine, 600 feet below,
