There may be some inaccuracies in the
amounts of the due bills given in the foregoing
statement, but it is believed that they are not
far from correct. In addition to these, there are
many bills for small amounts in circulation, of

outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the limit.

tried to sell me goods. 1 always told him that if

box contained very fine globe, and in showing
him that with $50 l could buy globes for all the
schools in my township. He took the globe down

MRS. POLLARD IN THE CITY.
Mrs. Pollard, the wife of the abscendng
swindier who was the chief conspirator in the
scheme, has returned from Canada, having ar
rived in the city on Tuesday night. She was
careful to make her visit as secret as posi-
BILE, and, although diligent effort was made
yesterday by half dozen or more persons to
get some trace of her whereabouts, with a view
to getting some information about her husbands
operations. she could not be found. Her visit to
the city is for the purpose of looking after some
of the affairs of her husband which
were left in an unsettled state, and it is neces-
sary for her to keep her movements in the dark
Her husband has confederate in this city who
keeps him informed of everything that he is in
terested in knowing regarding developments or
contemplated proceedings concerning mis- svind-
ling operations. 1t is altogether probable that
before the week passes there will be very in
teresting turn in the matter, and it is intimated
from those in position to speak authorativelv
that the swindlers are likely to be behind the
bars before many days pass
