ADAM BRABEEDER, President of the
Erie County Savings Bank, who con-
spired with Reuben Petit, its Cashier,
to wreck that institution, was tried ard
convicted in the criminal co1rt at Erie
last week and sentenced to two years in
the Western Penitentiary. Brabender
is sixty-twO years old, was one Of the
pillars Of his church, superintendent of
q Sunday school, and highly respected
citizen. lie and Petit, who fed to
Canada, the refuge of all bank scoun-
drels, used over S14O, 600 of the banks
funds in grain and oil speculations /;
Brabender using his cloak Of religion
and his position as a Sunday school man
to obtain from the poor, women as well
as men, their hard earnings. A num-
Der OF them have become insane since
the failure OF the bank. BIabender's
counsel made a strong appeal for mercy
on the old plea Of the age and high
standing Of the defendant, but Judge
GalbTaith declared that his good char
acter N which the depositors had re-
posed their faith, instead Of mitigating
his offsnse only gave it increased aggra-
walton. Dishonest bank officials are not,
as q general rule, punished in this State,
and BrabeEder's case is a notable excep.
tion to all former experience. Savings
banks are the usual repositories of poor
people who place implicit faith in the
integrity of the officers who control and
manage them, and when one of them
goes to work as Brabender did, and
Iobs the con6ding depositors by embark
ing in hazardous speculatioDs with their
money, every sentiment of justice
sternly demands that the full penalty OF
the law shall be visited upon him.

struck public school No. g. at the corner OF

of 5uffalo. The electric fluid passed down
through one roof OF the building and into
one OF the ella 50 rooms, striking two OF the
pupils, one of whom was killed outright and
the other blinded by the electricity. A
panic among the sch GLARS resulted, but they
were soon quieted by the teachers. The

the pool may not amount to much.
We do not hear Of any of the straight
Cumberland or Clearfield being offer
ed at less than schedule rates, and
expect that there will be something
tangible in the way of business before
long.-Coal Trade Journal.
There has been some business in
this fuel during the week, at prices,
as usual, below the pool rates, which
nominally remain $2.7O Baltimore,
$2.S0@S2.95 Philadelphia, 1925 New
York, $3.50 Boston and Sound.
The Long Island Railroad, we
learn, has made its contract for a
considerable quantity between 1000
and 10000 tons) of Clearfeld coal
coming over the Beech Greek and
Reading railroads. The price is
said to be between $2.75 and So, as
against the pool rate, 1925.
We hear many complaints from OPP
orators in the Clearfeld region of
determinations made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad in its freight con-
tracts, and we shall have more to say
on this subject next week.
The Connecticut River Railroad
contract, about $4,000 tons per annu3n
has been taken by unexpected par
ties. From this and other offers of
which we have heard, it appears that
the pool prices and cast-iren agree
Lent either have not been heard of
or are looked upon as mere empty
figures OF speech.
Philadelphia.-Some bituminous
operators, it is believed, have closed
certain large New England contracts.
AT least, negotiations are pending.
There are rumors that important
sales of West Virginia Goals would be
effected shortly.
B0st0n.-The bituminous market
has been quiet this week. We do not
look for any marked improvement
for two weeks or more, until the need
of buying is more urgently felt because

great many bids have been put in,
from which no returns are vet receiv-
ed. March LIST having been passed,
the pool has its binding force. Ac-
cording to its provisions Of $2.7O at
Baltimore, coal would cost 1915
laid down at Boston to-day; and in
taking season contracts at $3.50, there
is a considerable risk. AS for the
Norfolk and Western people, there
is no warrant for believing them to
be bound by the pool, although they
may choose to conform to it volun-
t arily. 1t is expected that they will
a ct in harmony with it; and with
pool coal selling at $3.50, there is
yer y little margin for any one to take
any other course; The Norfolk &
Western will, however, undoubtedly
do business independently of any
pool. 1t denies the report that it
has sold coal at 1915 delivered

to say the area Of consumption is stead

ators are closing large contracts for
soft coal in Eastern markets at rates
inside of pool rates. Fair weather
will bring a large Western demand,
and the clearing out Of the harbor

GENERAL ITEMS,

AN important decision has been
rendered by Judge Colt in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court in Boston in
the suits against the stockholders of
the defunct Pacific National Bank.
Judge Colt decides that the stock
holders must pay the second assess
ment OF 100 per cent. on their stock
levied by Comptroller Knox some
time since. The decision is of very
serious import to the unfortunate
stockholders. 1t will be remember
ed that they voluntarily assessed
themselves $965,000 on the capital
stock at the time Of the failure, of
which S750,000 Kas paid in. Two
months after the bank resumed it
again suspended, ana by the direc-
ton Of the comptroller, Receiver
Price leVieda second assessment of
$9G5,000. None ol' this is paid,
the stockholders believing il to be
illegally levied. BY Judge Colts
decision the stockholders must pay in
all about &, 1000, 900, including the
$4,000 already paid on the stock
which they hold. OF course the
decision is of corresponding benefit to
the depositors and other creditors Of
the bank, for, instead Of the paltry
dividend Of ten per cent, they viii
probably receive q substantial por-
ton OF their claims. The suit was a
bill IN equity of Charles E. Morrlson,
u stakeholder, "a. Lenus If. Price,
receiver Of the bank, and WAS to re-
Strain further prosecution Of the &c
ton II Jaw to recover q second assess
nlent ct 100 per cent. on the capital
stock, made uuder The direction Of
the Comptroller Of Currency for tic
purpose Of enforcing the individual
liability Of the stockholders under
the statute.

Col. W. W. TAYLOR, who is engaged
in completing water works in Chester
town, Nd, has just handed over to the
authorities Of Fredericksburg, Va,
the works supplying that city with
water. For 500, 600 he has{ laid eight
miles of iron pipes, fifty hydrant fire
plugs, ten public hydrants and res
orvoir capable of holding four million
gallons of water.-Baltimore AmericGn.
With reference to our proposed
supply the JOURNAL ofSept, 20, 1884,
stated :
The most extravagant estimate of
the amount (of bonds necessary to be
issued has not exceeded $25 900.
Compare what fredericksburg has
for $4,000 that we do not need.
Think Of a reservoir 81 feet square
and 81 feet deep.
If eur memory be not at fault our
water company hold their works at
$4,000. They have some right to
do this as their annual income
amounts to nearly 10 per cent. of
that sum.
But it furnishes the only service and
the worst we know of that the people
are wiling to pay for at that rate.

THE disposition to belittle the i'm

THE disposition to belittle the i'm
portance of selecting seven gentlemen
to administer the town government
for the coming year is not a healthy
one. OF all other rules to which we
are subjected this comes nearest. We
see our policemen when we do not
see the sheriff, and in numerous other
ways we are guarded by the aegis. of
the town government when we feel
that the higher forms of administra-
tive control take no special interest
in our welfare. On this account
every citizen should be especially
careful to vote fer sober, discreet,
solid men, whose interests are identi-
cal with those Of other good citizens 4;
who will feel that they are gamers in
in any honorable advantage secured
for the people; otherwise losers. 1t
is not matter at all to be triiled
with or about. The next Mayor and
Council should be elected by the
people as merchant would select
his statesmen or d mechanic his work
men. The same consideration of fit
ness should apply here with more
force than in any other field of politl-
cal choice.

A SPECIAL telegram from the City
Of Mexico says the authoritative an
nouncement of the discovery of coal
in TIE very heart Of Mexico creates
the liyeliest interest. The newly-dis-
covered coal fields lie four miles east
Of Jimulca, within the State of Cos
nuila. Already it is known that the
deposit extends within one mile of
the Central railroad. The vein is
three feet in thickness, and apparent
ly free from foreign substances, with
indications that it covers q large area.
The coal is declared to be of super
ior grade, bituminous in quality and
somewhat brittle. The discovery
brings thousands of low-grade mi
ming claims within the paying limits,
rendering their ores Of great value.

1t is held IN fact that the poorer a
man is the greater the bias Of his dog
toward sheep-killing, and the more
dogs the more appetites for raw NUT
ton. These propositions appearing
