New YORK. May 1.-The Times this
morning says: An official whose twenty
years of service in the National Park
bank had led to implicit confidence in his
honesty has taken from its funds nearly
100000 by an ingenious system of falsi
tying the books of which he had control.
The dclalcation cannot seriously affect the
bank, as 1t is one of the richest backs in
New York. Th0 officers of the bank are
very reticent.
A meeting of the directors of the Ma
tional Park bank was held this morning,
but the officers are very ~reticent in regard
to the Ietalcation. Chas. |. Debaum,
assistant cashier, is the defaultcr. Cashier
Wright says the amount of the defalca-
ton is 1915, 900.
Debaum entered the bank % years ago
and gradually worked up to the position
of assistant cashier. He resigned his DO
sitlon on April 10, assigning i'll health as
the cause. He was under personal bonds
which are said to be satisfactory 10 the
bank.
BY a resolution the defalcation was
charged to the profit and loss account.
The delalcatlon will not embarrass the
bank. How 1t was accomplished has not
been made known by the officers. De-
baum had charge OF the out of town cor
respondence with other banks. In this
way he received checks which he appro-
priated, it is said, covering his steals by
false entries The defalcation was not
discovered until Debaum' S books were ex-
amincd after he had resigned and disap-
peaTed.

EDITORS HERALD: Your correspondent
is not trying to waste space in your
paper when he chronicles the complaints
of the community, but hopes that the
publication will be of use in the abate-
ment of the nuisance. In my last letter
there was q complaint about the five-mile
slaughter house. This time it is nearer
to ue. Passing through the Mission and
for half mile distant person is SUBJ
jected to the odor of an ill-kept slaughter
house or very filthy pig-pen. 1t is to
be hoped that no further complaint will
be necessary either now or in the future.
Where the Rapid Transit crosses the
Alhambra road there is room for but one
team to cross at time. This at times
causes no slight inconvenience to the
public. 1t would be well for either the
railroad company or the roadmaster to
provide a good crossing and receive the
thanks of q grateful people.

Charged BY Her Husband with
Being Insane

Charged BY Her Husband with
Being Insane
Last evening about eight O'Clock q
young man called at the Police Station
and said that his uncle's wife was insane
and that she could not be controlled.
The patrol wagon was sent to the resi-
dence on the corner of Washington street
and Central avenue, in what is known as.
Walnut Grove. The officer entered the
house and was met by Mr.. E. L. Sher-
bourne, who told the officer that there
was no need to take his wife away. Mrs.
Sherbourne demanded protection and
asked to be taken to the Police Station.
She was driven in and said that she had
married her husband thirteen months
ago, and had come to Los Angeles from
the East bride. Her husband was
seventeen years older than she,
and they lived happily together
until recently, when relatives Of her
husband arrived and began to make
trouble for the sake of separating them.
so that he might leave his property to
them. She said that she had been treated
very badly lately, and had slept in the
vineyard several times, that her hus-
band had attempted to murder her, and
had choked her only few moments be-
fore the officer arrived. She told her
story to Chief Cuddy, who sent her to
the County Jail, where she remained
during the night. The matter will prob
ably come up in the courts.

Adams street Ob.tructton..

City Attorney Daily has fled with the
Clerk of the Council the following
opinion: From the facts elected upon q
careful examination in the matter Of the
distractions placed on Adams street by
V. Dol, am of the opinion that he now
has within his enclosure a part of the
street, and that the Council should in
struct the Superintendent of Streets to
order the contractor to proceed with the
grading. If this action is not taken by
the Council, then it must await the result
of proceedings in the Superior Court to
quiet title. This course necessarily in
wolves delay, and if adopted in this in
stance should be followed in all similar
cases, and the result would be highly
detrimental to the best interests of the
city, and especially SO in the matter Of
grading and paving streets.

THE tariff has nothing to do with such

Important Raisin Deal.

Boyd & De Vine to-day purchased of
s. @. Evans his raisin crop, comprising
1O5 acres, for the round sum of $40 900
on the vines. This is about $100 per
acre. We understand from Mr.. Evans
that it has cost about $25 per acre, per
year, for water, care and cultivation,
leaving $75 net per acre. This price was
based somewhat upon the yield the past
two years, which has been something
over 5000 boxes.
The crop this year is very fine in guam
tity and quality and at least from 25 to
so per cent. larger than before. Mr..
Evans says that after examining his
vineyards thoroughly, and finding the
buyers were paying $3.50 per ton for
small ranches, and wishing to avoid the
trouble and annoyance attending the
picking, curing and packing, he made
up his mind that he would sell
his crop for $4,000, and if
no purchaser took him at this price he
would sell at the best offer per ton on
the vine. He submitted this proposal to
the several buyers and received bids at
from $18 to 500 per ton on vines. Boyd
& De Vine closed at the above price for
the lot.
Thus it will be seen that experience
gives criterion for estimates of produc-
ton so as to bring buyer and producer
together. Mr.. Evans says that the fruit
merchant should handle the grapes from
the time they are picked, so as to insure
proper curing, asserting and packing.
There is quite a quantity of land yet in
Riverside which can be purchased al
$3.50 per acre, with the best water-right
in Southern California, which in five
years can be made to produce equal tc
this deal of MIR. Evans. Here is pointer
for some of our eastern farmers to look
into.-[ Riverside Press.
