THE UNION TICKET AGENT IN CHICAGO UNDEl
CLOUD.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The statement is pub
lished by a local paper this morning that w. s.
Thorn, for several years in charge of the union
ticket office at the union depot, corner of Canal
and Adams street, is short in his accounts, and
is practically under arrest. The amount of his
shortage, according to the best authenticated
statements, is alleged to be not less than
$4,000. Mr.. Thorn, twelve or thirteen years
ago, became connected with the Pennsylvania
railroad system, and six or seven years ago
took charge of the office at the union depot. As
he handled the ready money tor five trunk
lines the amount of cash passing through his
hands was very large. The article states that
the auditors Of the various lines instituted an
investigation last week, and on Friday Mr.
Thorn was notified of the discovered shortage
and relieved from duty. He is said to be a man
of good habits and not a gambler. The Fidelity
and Casualty company, of New York, an or
ganization formed tor the purpose of insuring
employers against populations or defalcations
OF employees has issued a spa, 900 policy on Mr..
Thorn, which amply secures the railroad COM
pany. Thorn is under surveillance of detec-
tives Of the indemnity company at his home.

connected with the Akron Uniyersalist
church, held its initial meeting for the
year on the evening Of Sept. IL, and
mapped out the work for the current
year. The meeting was every way sue
cessful, and the next meeting will take
place on the second Friday in October.
The program will consist of supper, fol-
lowed by business meeting. The soci-
ETY. is in healthy condition financially,
and is capable of doing much valuable
work during the current year. Such or

in many, if not all, of our churches.

entertainment would address Mr.. O. K.

difficult and lees certain of a satisfactory
outcome. Let the friends who want en-
