Fraud Unearth e d.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 5-The
Secretary of the Treasury today re.
ceived a telegram from j. A. Sample
of the United States Treasurer's office,
who is at present engaged in investi
eating the affairs of the Assistant
Treasurer's office at New Orleans, re
porting that the shortage so far discov>
cred in the accounts of mutilated cur
rency and United States notes deposit
ted for redemption amounts to $25,'
343 81. It was also reported that the
redemption clerk. J. H. Aufdemorte,
who is suspected of the defalcation,
has disappeared, and efforts to arrest
him have proved unsuccessful. In
speaking of the defalcation today, the
United States Treasurer said he pro
posed to make full and complete eX-
animation of the affairs of the sub
treasury, and to that end has sent two
clerks of his office, A. R Quaitfe and
B. P. Snyder, to New Orleans. to assist
Messrs. Sample and Henry Croggen,
who are now there. The Treasurer
says it is possible the total shortage
may be increased to 500, 900, and init
mates that Mr.. Aufdemorte is not the
only person concerned in the transac-
tion. He says the Government will
suffer no loss from the defalcation, as

The EarthOuake,

LONDON, June 5.-Dispatches 5. from
Serinagua, India, state that the details
rs to the loss of life and property by
the recent earthquake In Cashmere are
difficult to obtain, as nearly all the
telegraph lines have been Frustrated
by the violent vibrations of the earth,
having razed nearly all the poles
Enough has been learned, however,
from the little news received to show
that the loss to life and property is
great, and that the worst fears may be
realized. Hundreds of dwellings have
been DESTROYED, and it is estimated
that fully 400 people have been killed
outright, and as many more seriously
injured. Great distress exists through
out the ruined districts, -

becoming alarming Hundreds of fam

unless aid is speedily received disas-

Correspondence.
Our town was visited by heavy
storm on last Thursday afternoon, 1t
rained and hailed for about an bour.
in places the hailstones were quite
large. AS there was little or no wind
the damage was slight. During the
night we had another heavy shower
of rain, go that on Friday morning it
was impossible to do anything on
ploughed fields, and as many of our
farmers are not yet done planting, il
will cause a delay of several days.
We judge by the large amount of
tile that is being used this Spring that
farmers were fully alive to the advan-
tages gaire ed by thorough drainage.
There are quite a number of new
buildings going up in different parts of

The Portage County Republican
Convention was held at the Town
Hall, Saturday morning, June 9th.
man, and A. E. Seaton Secretary.
Eight delegates to the Springfield
Convention were chosen, as follows:
John c. Beatty, John Meharg, G. d
Ingell, wv. S. Kent, E. 8. Woodwork
J. d. Morris. Friend Whittlesey and
P. Y. Barnes.
The sentiment of the Convention
regarding their choice for Governor is
somewhat in doubt. Mr.. Maxson, of
Garrettsville, undertook to test the
question, and offered a resolution to
the effect that ]. B. Foraker be de-
clared the choice of the Portage Co.
Republicans for Governor. DIR. APP
plegate, of Windham, moved to amend
substituting III. b. Perkins for Fora
ker, Andrew Jackson moved to
amend the amendment by substituting
Gen. John Beatty for Perkins. Con-
siderable of q commotiOn was raised
by this time. Mr.. Patton, of Kent,
| then moved to lay the whole subject
on the table. This was carried. There
seemed to be no unity of expression
among the delegates, as to who ought
to head the ticket. The delegation
are believed to stand, three for Fora
ker, three for Kennedy, with two
doubtful. The real contest in the
State Convention will be getting con-
troll of the party organization. The
Blaine men are forninst the Sherman
men, and this intercine war will find
its expression in the person of the can
didate for Governor. If either Gen.
Kennedy or VIM. G. Rose is nomina-
ted, the Blaine men will have scored
a victory. IfForaker or Geo. X. Nash
wins, then it will be understood as q
Sherman victory. Ex-Governor FOs-
ter is playing a shrewd hand in this
contest, and is believed to be in alli-
aDce with Sherman. Gen. Beatty,
outspoken and fearless, is endeavoring
to smash both states. A compromise
candidate may be finally chosen,
though Foraker's friends confidently
predict his nomination on the first
ballot. The young men in the party
are largely for Foraker. the old liners
are jealous of his sudden prominence.
Kennedy shares this like and dislike to
some extent. Whatever the outcome
may be the Democracy will be found
in battalion front on election day,
ready to slaughter the Republican in
nocents.

offensive matter. No treatment was of any

healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
compietely restored the limb To use.
