WHOLESALE DISCHARGE.
The Services Of Twelve Conductors on
the Tx \. Dispensed With.

A cOmmotion in railroad circles
has been CAUSED by the promlscuous
discharging Of conductors on the u.
d. n. branch OF the Union Pacific
Railroad during the last few days.
According to the -tatemento Of several
employees Of the road no less than
five out OF six passenger car conduct
ors on the two divisions between
Butte and Ogden, have been
let out. All three OF the passenger
conductors on the Northern division
and two out of the three Oh the
Southern division, from Eagle Rock
to Ogden are included. Il sid s
these, freight conductors have
been discharged from bO:h divis-
ions. In fact, a clean sweep of tie
conductors was made all along the
line Of the Utah and Northern since
last Saturday, The cause of the
clean out is attributed TO Detective
Valentine, who is the special officer
employed by the c>mDany in the
f~erreting out Of dishonest employees.
Valentine, in connection with W
other men have been giving the L.
& n. branch their special attention
for some time past, with the
above results. The railroad men

BEYOND HIS MEANS.

"A Providence (R. H. Bank Teller With a
Salary of $4,000 Living at the Rate oi
$4,000, With the Inevitable Result-A
Thunderbo1t to the Union Club, of Which
He Was an Honored Member.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., June 8.-Wm. T.
Dorrance, the defaulting teller OF the
Providence National Bank, spent Satur-
day night in cell In the county jail.
Yesterday morning he appeared broken
down and penitent. He told friend
thatehe wished no one to help him, but
desired to pay the full penalty for his
crimes. After an examination, the direc-
tors yesterday announced that the exact
amount of the defalcation is $34, ,260.
The first discrepancy found in
the books dated back twelve years.
The sums ranged from $4,000 to $50
The largest sum taken at one time was
$4,000, few days ago. Two theories
are advanced as to Dorrance's methods
of operating. One is that he credited
large depositors with smaller amount
than their deposit and pocketed the diff
ference, and when they came to draw he
would take enough from other depositors
to make up the difference, keeping up the
operation year after year. The other
theory is that ol the day of drawing he
would go out and borrow money on the
banks credit, making 1t good when the
next big deposit was made. 1t is gener-
ally accepted that his stealings were not
due to vices of any kind, but that he lived
beyond his means. His income was
$2,400 year, yet he lived in an 300
house, and contributed largely to the
support of his father aud two maiden
sisters, besides supporting his wife and
son. 1t is said that Dorrance confessed
