day night Ia cell In the county jail
Yesterday morning he app Jared broken
down and penitent. He told friend
that he wished no one 70 help him. but
desired 70 pay the full penalty for his
crimes. After an examination. the direc-
tors yesterday announced that the exact
amount Of the defalcstion IL Sst,2G0.
The nrst discrepancy found In
the books dated back twelve years.
The sums ranged from 5000 to $1,000.
The largest sum taken at one time was
$4,000, few days ago. Two theories
are advanced as 10 Dorrauce's methods
of operating. One 10 that he credited
large depositors with . smaller amount
than their deposit and pocketed the DIFF
ference. and when they came TO draw he
would sske enough from other depositors
20 make up the difference, keeping up the
operation year after year. The other
theory Is that Oh the day Of drawing he
would 20 out and borrow money on the
banks credit, making II good when the
next big deposit was made. II Is gener-
ally accepted that his stealings were not
due 10 vices Of any kind. but that he lived
beyond his means. His income was
$1,000 year, vet he lived In an 81, 800
house. and contributed largely TO the
support OF his father aud two maiden
sisters, besides supporting his wife and
son. II Is said that Dorrance confessed

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
A Congress to Determine Where the Dis
coverer Is Buried
New York Sun.

The advocates of cremation have often argued
that the graves of the dead are forgotten after
generation or two have passed away, and that
few centuries suffice to blot out of memory the
exact resting place of the greatest of the worlds
heroes They may add to their stock of
illustrations the fact that DR.. Schliemann is
about to begin search for the grave of Alexan-
der the Great, and that Cuba and Santo Do
mngo both claim to possess the bones of
Christopher Columbus.
Until 1877 no one ventured to doubt that the
body of the illuStrious navigator was removed in
1896 from the Cathedral of Santo Domingo
where it had reposed for two centuries and a
half, and transferred to the Cathedral at
Havana. In that year, however, it was an
nounced that the people of Santa Domingo had
discovered lndubitable proofs that the genuine
relics of the great discoverer still lay in Domin-
lean SOIL and that the body which had been con-
veyed with great pomp to Havana was not that of
Columbus. The authentic bones, so called.
were inferred again with impressive ceremonies
in the Cathedral at Santo Domingo on Sept TO-
1877, and considerable sum of money was
raised to erect monument over them The
Spanish government, however. and the Histori-
cal Academy of Madrid still decline to admit
the authenticity of the Dominican relics and as.
sert that the body of Columbus lies in the
Havana Cathedral To settle the interesting
question, if possible, the government of Sapto
Domingo, il is announced has invited q large
number of savants TO attend an international
congress, which will open in the capital of that
republic on Sept. 10, next The govern
ment will submit 10 the judgment of this con-

were found, and the four miles had to be re-
traced with the men bare footed by that time.
That march was standing joke In the regiment
for long time afterward.
Atlast the scouts of the regiment did get
chance at the rebels. The light at Keys island
has been many times retold, 1t ought to have
been, for it demonstrated the kind of stuff the
regiment was made of. 1t was in that fight the
regiment lost its first man. The Fourth of July
was a great day in the camp, the ladies of
Cumberland furnishing the entire regiment with
a magnificent dinner. A few days afterward an
order was received TO break camp and join Gen
eral Patterson at Martinsburg. Arriving at that
place they We're put in the brigade of General
Abercrombie In the brigade was the Twelfth
Massachusetts, Differed by West Pointers, and
they did not like the free and easy style
of the Hoosiers, and It must be ad-
mitted the boys of the Eleventh were
thorn in the flesh to their Massachusetts breth-
rem. Mcdowell was moving on Manassas and
Patterson ordered TO hold Johnston in Win
chester: so one bright July morning the army
marched out toward Winchester. At Bunker
Hill halt was made and after day or two the
army moved off to Charl 4stown. The Hooslers
caused it to be whispered around that son of
old John Brown was captain Of one of the COM
panies, and that he and his company had to be
kept under guard to prevent their burning the
town. This so alarmed the rebel citizens that
they were willing to do anything for the boys so
long as Brown was restrained. The result of
this little deception was the quarters of the
Eleventh were abuudantly supplied with good
things. On Sunday, the day of the battle OF
Bull Run, General Patterson and his forces
marched to Harper's Ferry, and few days
aftcrward the Eleventh started for home.
The regiment arrived at Indianapolis on the
18th of July, 1t being the last of the three
months troops to reach home, as it had been the
first to leave Several of the officers had been
sent home before to recruit for the three years
service, and it was but few weeks before the
regiment was off again for the war.
