 I BRAVE IN THEIR m1SFORTUNE. Burrows Wife and Daughter Dis- charge Their Servants and Declare
 the DepOsitors Will be Paid if 1t
 Beggars Them.
 ALBION, N. Y., Aug. 25.-The experts who have been at work for the past few days
 on the vault of the First National bank of ! this place succeeded this morning in forcing the third and last door, but few persons being present. The box in which the securi- ties were supposed to be kept was empty, with not dollar in it, the abseonding president having entirely depleted it of it's contents. The discovery has greatly intensified the feel ing of the depositors and threats of violence are openly made by some against Warner. The other officials of the bank are denounced in unmeasured terms for their carelessness in Warner, of whom no clue has yet been dis covered. The notes given by Warner as ex-
 ecutor of the Burrows estate are being re- ceived from various points, and it is said that the liabilities represented by these notes will wipe out what remains of the estate after the banks affairs are settled.
 Mrs. Charles Burrows, the widowed daugh- ter, and Mrs. Louise Burrows, the widow of R. S. Burrows, have discharged their ser wants and both ladies declare that the deposi- tors in the broken bank will receive every cent due them, if it beggars the family. It looks now as if Warner could not have taken more than $10 ,000 with him when he fled. Warner made an inventory of the estate in 1879, which was never filed, however. It shows the property to have consisted of S250, 900 in railroad bonds, $550, 900 in eerti- cates of stocks, $37, ,000 in other securities, $216,000 in claims, S350,000 in real estate, not including coal mines valued at $226, ,000 and $10, 900 in personal property. The gentlemen who are engaged in hunting up the missing securities report that they are in hopes of retaining some of them. The work of finding Warner will be undertaken in a short time. The banks deposits are now believed to have been $135, 900, but un- til the examiner transmits on Wednesday next his report to the controller the exact figures cannot be given. w. R. Caulldns, of Rochester, who was young Burrows business agent, says that lightning will soon strike and cause bigger sensation than Warmers flight. It is supposed that he refers to the poisoning case, and an effort is apparently being made to connect Warner with that mysterious affair.

 TERRORs OF PRISON LIFE.
 Grave Charges Against the Manage.
 ment of a WOrkhOuse.
 CINCINNATI, Aug. 25.-A series of grave charges are being brought against the work house management in regard to the cruel manner in which prisoners are said to be treated in that institution. The principal charge is that of placing prisoners at work who, by reason of having been on debauch, are physically unfit for labor. Prisoners are often sent there laboring on the verge of de- irium tremens and are immediately placed to work The case of Bessie Long, alias Edwards, who died on Thursday morning in the dungeon, is cited as an example The unfortunate woman when captured Sunday night was crazy from liquor and when sent work. For this she was placed in the dun geon and there died. The coroner's inquest developed nothing and the employees kept their own counsel. It also appears that the noted song writer, James E. Stewart, was treated in the same manner, when few days in the hospital would in all probability have saved his life. Improvements in New York Waters.
