Tho Delaware Canal Company Embezlle-
mcnt grows Worse.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, July An extra
force Of accountants went to work yester-
day on the books at the Office Of the Ches-
apeake and Delaware Canal company,
aud ere still at work. President Gilling-
ham said to-day II was doubtful If the
regular books of the company would
show anything of the oyer-issue. Moth
ing has been shown yet. Bonds have
been returned to the amount of 81 200,-
600, and stii the directors are unable to
designate the fraudulent bonds. In ad-
dition to tle ENLIGHTENMENT OF S35 600 of
the fund ON deposit at the Providence
Life aud Trust company the investigation
has revealed thus far a further defalca-
ton Of $4,000 over at the Philadelphia
bank, all OF which was concealed by false
entries In the books.
The Press says sufficient has been
learned by those having IN charge the n.
vestlgatlon Into the over issue of the
Delaware Canal company's bonds I state
that Messrs Leslie and Wilson were not
the only persons who were benefited by
their stealngs The names Of i've men
who negotiated the sales of fraudulent
bonds have been obtained The brokers
arc located who handled most OF the
securities, aud partial last Of the victims
has been secured. IL was stated to-day
shat II was not deemed advisable 20 arrest
any parties implicated Just at present,
but that II was only necessary TO keep
suspected persons under surveillance.
This Is being done, Should any q them
attempt TO leave the city their arrest will
follow. The scheme was one OF gigantic
robbery IN which Leslie and Wilson
protlted but little themselves, The
greater part Of the SGl5,000 which was
stolen aside from that used to pay inter-
est Yves divided among coterie Of men
who were nothing more than blackmail-
ers, but who will now figure as cocoon
spirators.

CoULTERsyILLE, Int, July IA mys-
terlous and serious sickness broke out on
Sunday last and so far the precise cause
of It has not been ascertained. 1t is estl-
mated that from sixty 10 one hundred and

rounding town and country are now sick,
some OF them quite seriously. Two chill
drGn, Bessie and Ada Wilson, aged re-
spectively three and seven years, died on
Monday and their mother IS now quite IN.
The doctors at tirst thought that the sick
ness WAS the result OF some unknown at
mospherio cause, but since then Il has
been generally attributed TO mineral poi

His Wife Tied Up by the Feet and
Branded With a Hot Iron.
TEXARKANA. Ten, Dec. l6.-James
Howard. aged 80, was taken Jail here
last night by masked mob, by whom he
was hanged to railroad trestle. Howard
was arrested Wednesday on a warrant
sworn out by his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Winchow, charging him with maitreating
his wife, who is scarcely 10 years old.
Howard and his wife were married last
July. Mrs. Howard tells story of afro
ciOus brutality on the part OF her husband.
She saws he frequently tied her
feet together while she was in state of
nudity and hanging her mp by the feet
heat her numerically and threatened to
kill her IL she told any one OF his crueltes.
On Nov. Howard took common brand
ing iron used to brand stock and heating
It red not branded large letter "H' on
his wife's person in two places while she
was tied to the bed. After suffering sew
eral weeks from the effects of these burns,
Mrs. Howard told her mother what had
happened, with the result that Howard
was arrested. Deputy Sheriff Hargett
had anticipated that a mob would attack
the Jail last night aud had employed extra
guards, but the mob gained an entrance
while the guards were eating their mid
night meal. The lynching causes great
excitement.
