PHILADELPHIA's BIG BREAK.
The Experts AstOunded by the DIsclos-

The Experts AstOunded by the DIsclos-
ures Incident to Their Work.
PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-Experts we're
still hard at work at the books Of the sus-
pended ShackamaXon Bank this after
noon trying TO evolve order out of chaos.
The deeper they delved into the books,
however, the larger grew the deficit, until
it seemed that it would reach far into
the hundreds of thousands. One
of the experts, who is en-
ployed in a downtown bank, gave
up IN despair this evening, saying
that it would be almost impossible 10
straighten the accounts, and that the loss
would exceed the figures first given out.
The Auditing Committee of the Board Of
Directors of the bank compared some OF
the depositOrs books with the ledgers this
afternoon, and were Mortified to fnd a dir
ference Of 81 ,400for one day--that IS 81 400
was received in a single day which was
not entered upon the books of the bank.
Further comparisons may show even
greater discrepancies, but even If this
rate OF deficit continues the loss will be
much larger than the directors thought.

HEADL0NG TO HIS DEATH.
EX-AUDITOR REYNOLDS DROPS
DOWN AN AIR SHAFT.

Conflicting Theories of Suicide and Ac-
cident Ahoat-Three Stories Traversed
During the Fall and the End Met on
the Marble Floor of the ohics.
ST. LOUIS, June 2.-R. NJ. Reynolds,
late First Auditor of the United States
Treasury Department, killed himself this
morning at the Southern Hotel. There is
an air shaft in the hotel, over the rOtunda,
which cuts through the different floors.
At $500 o'clock this morning Mr.. Rey-
nolds either jumped or fell over the rail-
ing on the third story into the air shaft.
He struck on the marble floor of the ro-
tunda and was picked up dead.
HIS ROOM FULL OF GAS.
Reynolds room was full of gas,
although the stOpcock was closed, hence
the theory is held that it must be a case
of suicide, and that after a failure to
asphyxiate himself he took the terrible
dive to the marble floor below. Mr..
Reynolds had made careful toilet this
morning. He has been in st. Louis since
Saturday last, stopping with G. III. Albers,
but left that gentleman's house and put
up at the hotel last night. He was in eX-
celleht spirits when last seen alive, and
no motive can be suggested for suicide.
He was on his way to Kansas City to buy
land. He left the United States Treasury
only a couple Of weeks ago. He was a
fine looking, healthy man, about 60 years
of age.
WAsHINGTON's THEORIES,
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Tbe friends in
this city of eX-First Auditor Reynolds do
not think that he committed suicide.
They say that he was subject to attacks
of vertigo and suffered Intensely from
other maladies, and assume that his mind
was affected when he fell through the air
shaft in the Southern Hotel at st. Louis.
He was in comfortable circumstances, so
that the loss of his office could not be
supposed to have driven him to SELL
destruction. Mr.. Reynolds was born in
Ohio, but settled in Alabama at the
expiration of his service as Colonel in the
army during the war. He was appointed
First Auditor in 1878.

ARGUING FOR OLUVEKIUs.
Col. Evans Finishes and Mr. Pollard
Follows in His Tracks.

FOLLOWS IN HIS Tracks.
RICHMOND, June "A. B. Evans con-
tinued his argument for the defense in
the Cluverius murder trial this morning.
Following his opening remarks of yester-
day, in stating the life of the prisoner, he
claimed that no young man could be in
troduced with better character in every
relation to life. There was nothing in his
life to convict him of improper relations
with his cousin until after the tragedy at
the reservoir. Mr.. Evans then went on
reviewing the evidence, pointing out the
illegal portions and improbabillies, and
presenting the jury such evidence as was
eXculpatory in its character. Referring
to the deceased, he pointed out several
circumstances which indicated that she
was ripe for suicide, and occupied some
time in sustaining this theory.
MR.. PoLLARD's ARGUMENT.
At the close of Mr.. Evans argument'a
recess was taken until O'Clock D. m. At
the afternoon session, II. r. Pollard fol-
lowed Mr.. Evans IN tae defense. He
began by referring to Che instructions OF
the court as, after being boiled down.
being simply that the accused must not
be declared guilty unless it was so proved
beyond a reasonable doubt. Our law, he
said, required that there must be
no doubt. The accused was shield
ed with the garment Of innocence,
which could not be stripped from him
without positive proof of his guilt. Pre-
sumption should not be coniounded with
circumstances. The speaker then took
up a line OF argument similar to that of
his predecessor, picking the testimony 10
pieces in all It's details and showing up
the fallacies and improbability of many
of those which the prosecution dwelt upon
as strong points in their evidence. The
court then adjourned until tomorrow.
