ANOTHER syISDLER AT LARGE.
He Runs Of With Sixty Thousand Do!-
lars of His Friends Money.


PHILADELPHIA, PA, August PA SEN
sation has been caused here by the disap-
pearance of City Councilman Henry A.
Haworth, over week ago, which it is al
legged led to the discovery OF embezzle-
ments by him OF trust funds from friends
to an amount now estimated at $50, 900,
his mother and brother being among the
victims. He borrowed from many Of his
friends on various preteXts, sums varying
between 500 and $500.
1t is now learned that he was q fire..
quent visitor at gambling houses, and
was recently a heavy loser, .osing 81 500
at single game Of poker. 1t appears
that HawoTth's System was 10 II 70
tiate a number Of mortgages sn the same
piece Of property. 1t is claimed that
Haworth, acting as administrator OF hi
fathers estate, raised money on it tol
his own use, thus depriying his motheI
OF what belongs 10 her.
IL is also alleged that the Councilman
sold sN houses which belonged to q Miss
Cox. II IS said she never received the
sale money. Hesident Joseph VIM of
the Protection Building Association, Of
which Haworth was Secretary, said he
did not know whether any of the Asso.
cations bonds had been hypothetical,
but it was believed that they would lose
$4,000. George T. Jones, Iaworth' 5
security for the proper administration Of
the Leech estate expects to lose from
$4,000 to $1,000.

Whisky Caused the Trouble.

DAYTON, o August l2.-The subordi-
nate officers Of the Soldiers Home were
examined by the Congressional inyesti-
eating committee yesterday.
Sergeant Leechwar thought the disci.
pline of the institution was too severe.
lie himself had not attempted to enforce
it to the letter.
Sergeant Cannon found fault with the
police, lie said they were too harsh in
their treatment Of the men.
With the exception OF these two wit
ncsses and one or two others, all the tes-
timony of the day was favorable to the
present management Of the Home, and to
the effect that there is no just cause for
complaint. The sergeants say they have
orders from General Patrick to treat the
men kindly and that whisky is the caus.
Of most Of the trouble

The Summary Methods Adopted
by n Band of Tennesse
Regulators.

day Morning Meeting and Shoot
Down the Elders Presiding.
One, Who Escapes, is Followed to the
Woods and Disposed oi-An
Outrage.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August l2.-An
organization established by Mormon
Z der in Lewis and Hickman Counties, in
this State, about three years ago,
was broken up on Sunday by a
band of masked men. Mr. De-
priest, United States mail carrier
between Ivy Mills and Centerylle, Hick-
man County, gives the following account
of the massacre; "Three Elders were
holding meeting at Gender farm, Cane
Creek, Lewis County, Sunday morn
ing, when twelve maSEed men on
horseback rode up to the house
and ordered young man named Hutson
aud young Gender to surrender. They
showed fight. OIe masked man knocked
Conder down, breaking his skull. Hut
son fired and one of the masked men fell
dead. This was afterwards found to be
Dave llinson, citizen OF Hickman
County. He lived at Brush Fork, on
Beaver Dam. The masked men then shot
and killed two of the Mormon Elders.
The third Elder ran toward the woods
from which firing was soon heard. The
Elder has not been seen since, and it is
supposed he was also killed.
1t is since ascertained that the masked
men before goingto Conder's house stop
ped at the house of man named Garrett,
near CeRder's house, and found another
Elder there. They left two masked men
in charge Of this Elder. Shooting was
heard there shortly afterward, and that
Elder has not en- seen since. When the
firing commenced at Conder's house, one
Elder hid behind Mrs. Gender, aud in
shooting at him, Mrs. Gender was
wounded

I. WE DON'T ADVERTISE.

l. WE DON'T ADVERTISE.
There is a land of tears and bitter wailing-
A land most like that dearer one Dante knew,
Where wan-faced Niobes, with dark robes
trailing.
In sad procession move, brow bound with
rue.
It is a land peopled by witless mortals-
Compared with them the Virgins five were
wise
And it is writ above its gloomy portals
''We did not think it paid to advertise"
H. WE DO.
There is land that flows with milk and
honey
Not the condensed nor yet the Sorghum
strains
Each dweller bears gripsack fat with money.
Bonds, coupons, stocks and various other
gains
Happy are these at high tide, the fishes;
Nor tear doth drown the laughter in their
eyes;
For better luck they have no sort of wishes;
The pastry's theirs-they learned to adver-
tise.
