 NEW YORK June 3.-The officers of the Bank of the Manhattan company have re- ceived information to-day that Scott, the ab- sconding paying teller, had arrived in Cana da and was the way to Montreal.

 Cashier Baldwin of the Manhattan Bank company said to-day: ''This is the first irreg- ularity in this bank since 1888, when $40,- 900 was taken, and it is not surprising that a few thousand dollars could have been taken from our cash. We have bushels of gold and silver in our vaults, and it is not practica- ble for the chief officers of the bank to count the money every day. Some employe must be entrusted with the task, and if he is not honest he can rob the bank and get away be- fore the shortage is discovered. We have not seen Scott since Monday" Intimate friends of Scott think he had become insane, and can account for his robbery on no other ground. Two years ago they say that he be- came very sichswitk an affection of his stom- ach and throat The bank sent him to Florida and paid all his expenses. Ever since he has been cross, irritable and ner- vous, and it was 8 common remark among his friends that he was losing his mind. He is generally spoken of as being quiet and plain in his tastes.
 It was learned to-day that Scott fled Mon home at all Monday night, and did not send any word to his wife. His wife knew noth- ing of his whereabouts President Hays said to-day that he never heard that Scott speculated and he could not tell why he had taken the money. If he had any bad habits he concealed them successfully.
