THE CAMENON HEIUNI.
CAMERON, June 27.--The reunion OF
Hoods Brigade, which took place here
to-day, has been great success. One
o. the veterans declares that this is the
grandest reception they have had
with the exception of that at Dallas. 1t

NEW YORK, June 27.--Jame5 ID.
Fist, late president of tho Marine Ma
tionat Bank, was sentenced TO 10 Yeas
imprisonment in the Auburn prison
this morning by Judge Benedict in the
Quilted Sta.es Court.
Mr.. Fish came into the court room
at su early hour, accompanied by his
counsel. Judge Benedict entered the
court room shortly after 10 o'clock.
This was an hour earlier than the
court usually opens and thee were
few persons present. AS soon as the
Judge had seated himself, Assistant
District Attorney Foster moved for
sentence on "the prisoner, James D..
Fish, Clerk Shields called the name
and Fish walked firmly - the bar. He
placed hand on the rail and lifted
his eyes to the judge, who wisped his
glasses carefully with a silk handker-
chief aud said:
"James D.. Fish, you are charged
by the grand july with money of
fense against the laws OF the United
States. After fair and impartial
trial you were found guilty OF enc mis-
appropria tion OF the funds of the bank
of which you were president. You
were also found guilty of making
false entries in the books Of the bank
while in that position. The verdict
OF the jurv was that you were
guilty. The evidence clearly
showed that there could be no
doubt as to your guilt. A moro shame
.ul or more lawless abuse of the
powers Of president Of National
pank can scarcely be imagined. 1t IS
proper, therefore, that fit punishment
should 90 melted out to you and IN
order that others may be deferred
from similar ofienses 1t Is necessary
that the full penalty of the law be pro
nounced on you. A merciful consid-
Grafton for your age forb.ds accumula-
tive sentence. the sentence of the
court Is that you shall be confined in
the prison at Auburn for 10 years."
Fish did not change color or alter
his expression when he heard the
iudgm ent. He showed agitation in
no way. He walked from the court
room leisurly and was returned to his
quarters in the Ludlow Street jeil,
where he will be- taken to Auburn IN a
day or two. The sentence is not con-
sidered to be severe. TIE commuJa-
ton for good conduct will reduce the
torn to six years and six months.
Fish is now f5 years Old.

An Astonishing Bank SwIndle

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-Revela
lions through The exsmir alton being
made of the management of the
Shackamaxon Bank are astonishing.
1t is said there will scarcely be $4,000
of the wreck found with which to meet
the obligations. 1t is also given out
that the disclosures show that the
affairs of the bank have been managed
in the most reckless manner, as the
statement is made that checks we~o
drawn without date, loans made with
out security, and that prominent III
ticians were continually favored. 1t
is further sad that half a dozen inni
viduals profted by the bank, and tina!
its failure is due to them. Many OF
the dep ositors' books have not been
settled up in three years.
