FALSE TO HIS TRUSTS.
A Man In Whom His Fellow Cft1ze

A Man in Whom His Fellow Citizens
Had OverpoWerfng Confidence.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The accounts of ex-
judge Henry Fl. Voorhees, of Bergen county,
| N. j., who died two weeks ago, are found to
be in an involved condition. He was man
well known and had the reputation of being
thoroughly honest and extremely pious
His financial condition was reported sound
and he was the custodian of large sums of
money belonging to his neighbors, besides
being the executor of several large estates
1t has been found that he made No account
of money intrusted to his care and there is
no trace of his disposition of funds. Several
neighbors deposited money with him for
which they received no acknowledgement SO
thoroughly did they believe in his honesty,
and there can be found no evidence of its
whereabouts. He was treasurer of the coun-
ty fund and for thirty-fve years secretary of
the Bergen ounty.F'armers' Mutual Insur-
ance company, which position he held at the
time of his death. To both of these institu-
lions he is largely indebted, the latter COM
pany being compelled by his deficiencies to
wind up its affairs. Upon opening his safe
his sons were astonished at the absence of
papers to show what disposition had been
made of the funds unaccounted for. The
affair has created profound sensation in
Bergen county. Judge Voorhees, methodical
habits and plain manner of life inspired the
confidence of all who knew him and his
friends cannot account for the absence of
memoranda of the various funds intrusted
to him,

A Daring Highway Robbery.

New YORK, Feb. 17.-SamueI Cardwell, a
director in the Murray Hill bank and prom
inent real estate dealer, while going from his
real estate Office to his house, No. 1856 Third
avenue, only two doors away, about $50 last
night, carrying as is customary tin box con-
tanning his available cash and most impor-
tant securities, bounced upon by two
masked men, who tore the tin box from him
and disappeared around the corner. No
trace of them has since been discovered. The
box contained Murray Hill bank stock val
ued at $15, 900, $3.50 in cash and some papers
only of value to the owner. So sudden was
the attack and fight that Mr.. Cardwell IS
only able to give slight description of the
robbers. The police are now working up the
case,

Hfde.and-Seek in Earnest.


Our story takes us to the Compact village
of HaverhiH, Mass, consisting of about thir-
ty houses Just at the break of sullen
summer morning, August 30, 17OS. One OF
the best cottages was the parsonage, occu-
pied by the beloved pastor, Benjamin Rolfe,
and his family.
In one of the bed rooms, on that sadly
eventful morning, slept two little daughters,
six and eight years old, in the care of Hagar,
a negro servant of the family. They were
all awakened at the same instant by the war
whoop of body of about two hundred and
fifty savages-Indians and French-who, in
parties, were simultaneously attacking near
ly every one of the dwellings.
Faithful Hagar, thinking only of the safe
ty of the children given to her special charge,
fled with them to the cellar with such
promptness that they We're all three secreted
before the enemy gained entrance. The
father lost his life in bravely defending the
front entrance, that his loved ones might es-
cape.
The mother was Immediately traced to the
garden and tomahawked, with the infant
which she bore in her arms. But Hagar
had hidden each of the little girls under a
big washtub, and herself, near them, in a
dark corner, behind the pork barrel.
The Indians, supposing they had killed
all the family, went to the cellar to feast.
They drank milk from the earthen pans
and dashed them on the cellar bottom.
They carried off provisions, repeatedly
passing the turned down tubs, sometimes
stepping on the childrens feet The little
girls, who had been trained to patient en-
durance and obedience, bore all in silence
Hagar also bore the ordeal of having the
meat taken from the barrel behind which
she crouched.
Suddenly, in the midst of these terrors
there was shout without:
'ECome on! come on for we will have
themr
The savages within cried:
''The English! the English!''
And setting fire to the house, they fed
panic stricken, from the premises.
But no English" came, and Hagar and
the children, unconscious of the creeping
danger of the fire above, stayed in their re-
treats.
The flight of the foe resulted from the
bravery and wise strategy of one man, Mr.
Davis, who went behind Mr.. Rolfes barn
and striking it with a club, called out tc
men by name and gave commands for an at
tack, crying in inspiring tones to his irnagin-
airy army:
Come onl come on! for we will have
them!"
When the enemy fed from this powerful
army Mr.. Davis flew to the rescue of the new
meeting house near by. which had been fred.
and which he saved.
Haear and her charge were thus forsaken,
but they were not to perish. Hagar smelled
the smoke, and alert for this new danger,
stole forth at the risk of the tomahawk. AS
she did so familiar voice cried:
"Hagar!"
Following the sound she found Annie
Whitaker, member of the family, safely
l.. j Oh, %Iae %oi,
The two women succeeded in extinguish.
ing the fire and soon made the little girls
comfortable. They both lived to become
lovely women. One married Colonel Hatch
of Dorchester, and the other, the Rev. Samu
ell Checkley, Sr., of Boston.

THE KREWE OF MOMUS.
A Brilliant Street Pageant at New Or.
leans.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 17.-Rex chose for
his subject to-day Scott's romance IVanhoe.
The pageant this afternoon showed that Rex
ly, but was student of the epoch in which
the romance is laid. The monarch himself
in honor of the worlds exposition came Sc
the king of industries. There were twenty
gorgeously decked tableaux cars emblematic
of the story of Ivanhoe. The procession in
it's entirety was one of the finest ever given
by Rex, whose day parades are more crit
brothers, the broad glare of day
not permitting the use of finn
sy material. Following Rex came
burlesque representations by some of the
miner mystic societies who were in turn fol-
lowed by miscellaneous masquers. Tonight
occurred the annual pageant of the Krewe OF
Momus One hundred thousand people, one
third of them strangers, lined the streets.
The Krewe had selected fragile material out
of which, however, they built solidly.
Momus is nothing if not classical, but for
mer pageants have convinced him tina
popular subjects are the most successful.
Mythology, history and the arts and sciences
have been beautifully presented in former
years, but the scenes of fairyland produce the
best and most lasting impression. His de-
parture from time honored canopies and col
onnades was welcomed by those to whom
carnival pageants have become somewhat
monotonous. The scenic effects in all the tab
leaux-eighteen in number-were superb,
| the clouds seeming to float in the air and the
crescent moon to be suspended without sup
port The tableaux of colossal grasses and
flowers were novel graceful and picturesque
while the grottoes, caves, pearly gates and
water effects were the finest ever seen. The
god of mirth selected for his subject this
year.
