Dishonest Bank Oficials.

PHILADELPHIA Nov. 2z-Considerable mys-
terry envelopes the affairs of the First National
Bank of Glen Rock, York county, Pa Within
a short time the president and cashier have been
deposed and new officers elected. The reason
for this action not made apparent till the is
suance of warrants last evening, by Henry r.
Edmunds, United States commissioner for the
arrest of the late president of the hank. William
Hubst and Henry Zeist late cashier and
Jacob s. Hubst and VIM. Hubst, sons of the

Marshal Kerns caused the arrest of the parties
simultaneously this morning. VIM. Hubst
was arrested at Glen Rock and
brought to Philadelphia this evening
Zest was arrested at the residence of his son-n-
law in this city, and Jacob Hubst and VIM.
Hubst ir Baltimore They will be brought to
this city on Monday. Zeist had a preliminary
hearing before Commissioner Edwards this
afternoon. and upon information furnished by
Marshal Kerns he was held in So 900 bail for

business Ouite satisfactory.

The volume OF business moving over Indian
apolis lines continues to be quite satisfactory.
1t will be noticed, however that 123 fewer cars
were received and forwarded last week at this
point than in the week ending Nov. 90 and 524
less number of loaded cars than the correspond
ing week, 1885. The movement, however, is
highly satisfactory and would be even heavier
but for the great scarcity of cars, both for
through and for local business. Then, again, it
should be borne in mind that the comparison
this year is against week just after rates east
bound were advanced, and all the roads were
cleaning up the cars which came under the head
Of ''in transit" The train records show that
there were 447 fewer loaded cars forwarded East
last week from this point than in the week end
Nov. 20, while there was received from the East
6l2 more loaded cars than in the preceding week.
Shipments of grain last week eastward were the
hghtest of any week in the last ten weeks, while
the shipments of cotton and live stock were the
largest of any week In some months,
but it did not offset the falling off In grain
tonnage West bound business is again very
heavy both the Bee line and c., St L. q Z. bring
ing larger number of loaded cars west than
were forwarded east over their lines We
notice that there is an increase in the merchan
disc shipments and much heavier movement
of the anthracite Goals. which would indicate
that the roads that handle this traffic are get
ting more cars to forward this class of business
Then railway supplies the shipments
westward are the largest for some years, so late
in the season. A healthy volume of traffic is
moving over the roads of local character in all
directions, and it would be still heavier were
cars more plenty, and inquiry shows that nearly
all this business is carried at good rates West
ward there is some cutting going on still, in the
total movement that which is carried at under
tariff cuts a small figure The movement of
live stock is important feature of the present
traffic. it being 20 per cent. heavier than the
usual November average Doubtless the labor
troubles at Chicago have conduced to such re-
suit. Below is given the number of cars received
and forwarded at this point last week. as com
pared with the movement of the preceding week
and that of the corresponding week 1885:
