His ISasCality Discovered TO Have
Covered "a Period of Three Years.
ST. LOUIS, July 16.-Carlos 8. Geeley,
the largest stock holder OF the Provident
Savings Bank. which failed yesterday,
makes the following statement as to how
| that event was brought about: When
the board of directors counted the cash
ier's reserve fund two weeks ago prepara-
tory to declaring their dividends, they
found $4,000 in the bank vault, The night
watchman inform ed me last evening that
Thompson entered the bank building
Saturday evening at about l0:30 O'Clock,
and it was then undoubtedly
that the cashier salted $4,000 OF the fund
in his pocket, and the greatest surprise To
me is that he did not appropriate the rest
of 1t. The first discovery OF this shortage
was made last Friday by me, and it came
about like this: Mr.. Swan, the acting
President Of the bank, on that day came
to my place on business and informed me
that the directors had just loaned Thomp-
son 81, 800 on 100 shares OF the Crystal
Plate Glass COmpany's stock which he
had deposited as collateral.
CROoKEDNEss SUSPECTED.
Now, | am a director of that corpora
tion and had assisted in the disbursements Is

TO know that Mr.. Thompson did not hold
100 shares OF the stock. Going immedi-
ately to Treasurer Barnes | had him fur

son explained that the other 80 shares had

on Monday. When he did not show up on
Monday my tears received substantial
acknowledgment OF his croOkedness.

microscope detected very plainly that the
certificate had been raised from one share
TO 100 shares, and tnat the date had also
been altered. A further examination OF
his books showed that his Tascalty had
been going on eince 1883. Since that time
he has carried a fraudulent entry on the
foreign exchange account involving
S20. 600. His total shortage will doubtless
amount to $4,000. | agree with the re-
ceiyer, however, that the depositors will
be paid in full, even at the expense of the
stockholders. The bank will never re-
sumo operations.

GRAPE CREEK MINERS.
Several ofthc Statements Circulated
by the Company Denied,

CHICAGO, July 15,--The committee OF
the striking miners at the Grape Creek
coal mines near Darville, H., publishes
card respecting the situation, in which
they say:
"There is no prospect of riot, nor has
there been any attempt at violence or in
timidation OF any kind, The miners OF
this place are all American citizens,
peaceable, and law-abding and have COM
mon sense enough to stand up tor their
rights. The Grape Greek Coal Company
Is solely responsible for the present
trouble. We were requested by f. H.
Mcclure, General Manager OF the Crane
Creek Coal Company, to send delegate
to the Columbus Ohio convention which
adopted the PIttsburg rate of 70 cents per
ton.
HIS PART IN THE CONVENTION.
"1e took prominent part in the con-
Vention and was the only operator that
voted against the Ptttshurg scale which
was to go into effect May 8. When the
convention was over General Manager
Mcclure came home, called us together
and told us he would not be governed by
the scale of wages fixed and adopted, and
wanted US to join hands with him and re-
pudiate all that had been done at the con-
Ventlon. We told him, IN justice to the
40 operators and all the miners from the
eight States that took part in the proceed
ings OF that convention, that we could do
only in the way prescribed by the con-
vention, and that was to submit all
grievances TO the board of arbitrators.
This he refused to do.
THE EVICTIONS.
'We have been evicted from their
houses and taken up our abode in rudely
constructed houses of our own, but we
have plenty to eat and respectable cloth
ing to wear. Our fellow miners have
nobly come TO our rescue, and we are re-
ceiving about $500 per week. The COM
pany Is now trying to cOlOnize negroes
here, and Friday last they brought in from
Tennessee 7S negroes. Sheriff Tuttle, OF
Nermillion county, with forty deputies,
escorted them from Danville. A commit
tee Of the miners was allowed TO talk
with the negroes, and the result is that
forty-nine OF them have gone back, and
the rest will 20 in a few days. Another
delegation of colored men Is expected in
a few days, but like the others, when they
find they have been deceived they will,
we hope, return. We have not been out
for the last sixteen months, neither did
we uuderbd each other for work."
