A CLEVELAND TELLER.
He Invests 100000 Of His Banks
Money I'm Speculation.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 11.-Issac
A, Stanley, a paying teller, was jailed
this evening for embezzling 500, 600
from his bank. Tho shortage was dis
covered yesterday afternoon when
Cashier Garretson counted the reserve
fund kept in a special apartment of the
vault, the combination of which was
known only to Garretson and Stanley.
When asked to explain the shrinkage,
Stanley confessed that q year ago he
was troubled about a debt of eight
hundred dollars on his house, and
thought he could take that amount from
the reserve fund without harm to any one
invest it in grain, realize a profit, pay off
the mortgage on his place and return the
money, but tho Investment was unfortu-
nate, and to cover losses he took more,
until he had taken a clear 500, 600.
The directors of the bank met last eve.
ming and after consultation held Stanley
n prisoner at the hotel in the custody of
a detective. To-day more conferences
were held, resulting in arresting him.
Stanley assigned his property and some
speculative deals. The bank announces
in a card that it will realize part of the
loss from this and not be affected by the
defalcation

DEBORAH, Iowa, June 10.-The DEM
ocratic congressional convention of the
Fourth Iowa district was held here to-day.
The delegates were badly divided, and
the emissaries of the greenback party
were on hand to help the division. Del
egates from the western part of the dis
trict arrived last night and were strongly
opposed to any afiliation with the green
hackers, with Calamity" Weller at the
head. The eastern part of the district
were in favor of &C journing until after the
state democratic convention, which would
includes the greenback congressional con-
vention. Weller is sure of the greenback
nomination. An adjournment of the
democratic convention to-day without
date meant a practical Endorsement of
Weller. The Weller delegates captured
the convention and aid adjourn subject
to the call of the district congressional
committee. DIR. Chase, of Usage, was
the chairman and an anti ellerite, but
The Weller men had things all their own
way. The convention was acrimonious
throughout, and the old line democrats
were loud in their damnation of the half
breed democrats that forced the conven.
ton to adjourn without a nomination or

He stopped and looked at the jar in
terestedly and then said, "lll match any
man in the crowd for this" He was
immediately takon up by the other three
men. They began to match and kept it
up until they had bought $40 or Sl2
worth of food of various sorts. They
had picked tripe, picked pigs feet,
picked salmon, various kinds of biscuit,
preserved fruit, q bottle of blackberry
brandy, some canned asparagus and some
extract Of beef. While tho matching
was going on a quiet aud demure young
clerk carefully took down the goods that
were matched for and put them on a
counter. Then he took a little book out
of his pocket, took the names and ad-
dresses and collected the money from
quietly back to his desk and went on
figuring at his books.
SIS there much of that sort of thing
done here 2"
"Oh, no end of it" he replied briskly.
every day gentlemen come in here and
match away for things that catch their
eyes; they don't feel tho expense and it
gives them lot of fun. l am quiet sure
we don't object to it," he added with a
grin.
A few nights since two men went up to
q bar In q well-known and famous hotel
up town. One of them announced that
he had been on tho right side of wheat,
and ordered a bottle of wine. Three
other friends came up and joined tho
two who already stood at the bar. The
man who had struck q winner on wheat
ordered another bottle and told his
friends all about it.. Then he tossed a
$40 bill to the barkeeper. The bar
keeper handed him some change, among
other things a silver dollar. The man
picked up the silver dollar and dispar-
agingly tossed it back.
"Can't you give me a blllY' he asked.
"Sorry, sir, but there is not another
bill left inthe drawer" said the barten-
der. ~ have just sent a boy out to the
Office to get some"
"Never mind" said the winner on
wheat, carelessly; "keep it and match
somebody"
The barkeeper smiled his thanks,
looked cautiously around and turned the
coin over in his hand, anu then placed ii
on the bar and asked, gently:
"Would any gentleman like to mattel
this for a dollar2" The three right fandl
of three Htalwart, respectable and sombre
looking men dived down in their pocket
and brought forth coins. Each of then
tipped in the air and the bar-keeper die
likewise. "Ill match you all, gentle
men," he said. They removed thei
hands and the bar-keeper found that HI
had won So and lost 81. He showed hi
winnings into his jacket, grinned again
and turned to another customer. TIT
alacrity with which his offer was takei
up by the three men shows how we'll uset
to gambling with coins the three mel
were.
