 MT. Bartholomew is an active member of

 White Cross army, an organization for the
 social purity of women. He is largely inter

 Bartholomew Past Record-His Various Financial Trusts.
 HARTFORD, Sept. 22.-A year ago Bartho- 1omew made statement showing surplus
 of 8 million of dollars above all liabilities. The larger portion of the surplus was in 1 bonds and it is more than possible that he | overestimated their market value. He was known as prominent Episcopalian, a man of generous impulses and a willing giver to all good causes. In society he held high position and the question of his integrity
 was not even suggested. He enjoyed the con- | fdence of the community. For years he was prosperous in his enterprises, having been 1 connected with trust and banking institu- tions. To secure his services in the promo | tion of any project was always regarded as desirable, for his reputation as 8 shrewd and
 far seeing basiness man was admitted. He 1 has for fifty years been intimately associated with Hartford's most important enterprises and at the time of the defalca- tion was president of the Charter Oak Life Insurance company, treasurer of the Hart ford Silk company, which President Plum kett wrecked three weeks ago, was president of the Union Manufacturing company, of which Plunkett was treasurer, and was presi- dent of the Holyoke Water Power compa-
 ny. Since the reorganization of the Charter Oak Life insurance company in 1878 he has 1o6 al oh nf ifo ffoir Ho hoe very successful in it's management. He has
 been largely influential in building up the
 Holyoke Water Power company and man
 aged the Hartford, Providence & Fishkill
 railroad for years. The announcement of
 the present trouble caused a profound sensa-
 tion in the city and stirred financial circles
 here as no other event of the kind has ever done. Si.a
 In addition to the offices already named
 held by MT. Bartholomew he was 8 director in the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance company, the Orient Fire Insur- anee, company, the American National bank and the Hartford hospital He was vice. president of the State Savings bank and a member of Trinity college corporation. His indebtedness to the Florida not to exceed $16,O0O. The amount of his individual paper cannot at present be estimated, but is large. He is also an en- dorser on his sons paper to a considerable amount. Bartholomew is in Montreal. It is now known that he recently disposed of all his stock in the HoIyoke Water company. His troubles will not affect the company. John B.. Stebbens, of Springfield, was to-day elected temporary president of the company in Bartholomews place. Barthol- omew was from 1858 to 1867 director of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway com pany and has been interested in various roads.
 Hartford banks are supposed to hold $500, ,000 of his paper. The total outstand- ing is figured by some at one million.

How Other Hartford Concerns Are Af-
 fected.

HARTFORD, Sept. 22.-Mr. Bartholomew is president of the Schuyler Electric Light com pany. R. E. Dustin, secretary of the com pany, said tonight that the company was as sound as dollar. He, however, admitted that the company would for some time be pressed for ready money. The employees of the company were paid yesterday, the regular payday, and received only forty per cent. of their wages. Mir. Bartholomew is president of the Watkinson library, trust of consid- erable magnitude, but J. Hammond Trum- bull in an interview to night said he had no reason to believe that anything was wrong in the management of the funds. A prominent director of the Charter Oak company said to a reporter tonight that the gentlemen who audited the &C., counts of the company had known for some time that MT. Bartholomew was in aeDted 10 It 1n large amounts. Charles E. Willard, secretary of the company, on being informedS of this. statement said he did not for moment believe that there had been any collusion between the auditors and the missing president. Bartholomew w," he con- tinued, "was recognized by all the officers and stockholders as the financial backbone of the company. hear, but do not know personally, that when the annual examina- tion of the concerns true condition was made any shortage would be explained by Bartholomew in this way: He said that he had placed the money in the bank in his own name to protect it from attachment, but that it would be at the service of the company at any time. AS for myself I knew nothing about the finances of the com pany and never made an entry on the books"
 What effect Bartholomew's dedication will have on the insurance interests in this city cannot be stated. There is, however, little fear that 1t will directly affect other IL will probably affect them only | to ths degree that public confidence is shak-

ARRANGEMENTS for the twelfth anniversa-
ry parade and celebration of Ascension
Hook and Ladder Company are almost
completed and there is every reason to an
ticipate an attractive and creditable display
on that occasion. Our handsome and pop
ular fellow citizen, Mr.. A. D. Vega, has
been selected to oficiate as grand marshal
of the procession and all who know him
will agree that he is just the kind of man
who could be expected to fill such posi-
ton with grace and efficiency. The aids to
the marshal are Messrs. Victor Maurin and
Jno. T. Nolan, but as the latter gentleman
il commander of the Ascension Rifles, who
have accepted an invitation to join in the
parade, it will be incumbent upon the COM
mittee to select another assistant marshal
in his stead. Phoenix Fire Company meets
Monday evening to consider the invitation
extended their organization to take part in
the celebration as guests Of the Hook and
Ladder Company, and replies to similar
invitations to Plaquemine and Napoleon
vile companies are looked for in few
DAYS. Hope Hook and Ladder Company
of Plaauemine will meet Tuesday evening.
and it is regarded certain that delegation
Of the company will come down to aid the
Donaldsongille Hooks in COMMUNICATING
their anniversary with 6lcGt The st. DO
semi Brass Band has been engaged to fur

| boring Parish.
The new Town Council of Napoleauyille
has appointed Mr.. Emile L. Hsbert. Score
tary and Treasurer; VIM. L. Theriot, day
Constable, Landor Pendleton, night Con-
stable. Mr.. Hebert is popular livery
stable keeper and gentleman very highly
esteemed for his integrity, ability and alta
BILE manners.
Theriot is white man and Democrat,
while Pendleton is colored and chairman of
the Republican parish committee, facts
which indicate that political favoritism
had nothing to do with their selection as
officers. Both are men possessing excel
lent qualifications for the positions to which
they have been appointed. Pendleton is
highly spoken of as a Waterman by the
merchants Of the community.
John Davis, the colored man in jail under
sentence of death for the murder Of his
wife, is to be executed on the 4th Of June.
There is much apprehension of overflow
among the people of the interior.
The people of Napoleonville and vicinity
rejoice in the possession of miniature
West End on Lake Verret, at the further
extremity of Attakapas Canal, where jolly
old salt named John Christian has provi-
ded ample and varied accommodations for
fishing parties, including board and lodg-
ing for man aud beast, boats, fishing tackle,
ETC., which he furnishes at moderate char
ges. With such facilities for pleasure
and comfort to offer his visitors, John is
likely to have lively season. The fame of
Lake Verret as fishing ground is too we'll
known to need praise or comment.
The fremen are looking forward with
much interest to their annual turnout on
the 18th inst. Napoleon Fire Company No.
is having its hand engine, Lady Susan"
repainted by Mr.. W. l.. Phelps, and the
machine will look as good as new when he
gets through with it. The new hook and
ladder truck, built by the same gentleman,
is proof that as good work in that line
can be done in Napoleonville as in New Or
leans.
The fire companies have received invita-
tions to participate in the celebration of
Ascension Hook and Ladder Company's
twelfth anniversary, on the 9th inst, but
it is doubtful if either organization will
have its new uniforms ready in time to ac-
cept the invitation.
The annual sale of pews in the Napoleon
vile Catholic church took place last Sun
day, and the amount realized was 1928 Is,
being over $500 in excess of that obtained
last year.
