Another Cashier Has Crossed the Ca
madam Frontier-A Woman in it,
CHICAGO, April 7th.-A special dispatch
from Anoka Mimi, says: The doors of
the First National Bank closed last even
ing. The cashier is in Canada. There is
woman in the case. P. F. Pratt, the
cashier, went to Minneapolis a week ago
last Thursday, and Friday the bank Off
cials were startled by a notice from the
Merchants Bank of st. Paul that the ac-
count OF the First National was oyerdrawn
$4,000 A messenger was at once dis
patched to st. Paul, and the discovery soon
made that Pratt had drawn out about
$4,000 due the bank, and about twice as
much more on his check The Bank
Examiner was notified. and gave the books
hasty overhauling. Enough was learned
to show that matters were in a bad state.
and that Pratt is short nearly 100000 Not
knowing when or where the end might be,
the Directors concluded to place the bank
IN the hands OF the Examiner, and he will
appoint receiver. 1t is impossible vet to
tell the extent of Pratt's vilany.
The banks correspondents, both in New
York and Chicago, also allowed him to
overdraw to the amount of $4,000 In ad-
dition to this, he raised about $50 900 on
personal notes indorsed by Mrs. Noland. an
aged widow residing in DAYTON, who
trusted Pratt to manage her business mat
tiers to large extent. Pratt, in company
with II. S. Sparks of this city, has been
specializing in wheat, and Sparks account
is overdrawn $4,000.
Last summer the good people of Anoka
were Mortified to learn that Pratt was on
intimate terms with young and handsome
woman of doubtful reputation. The scan
dal soon became public property, and his
wife took her two children and went to
Boston, where they have since resided.
Soon after this the grass widow also disap-
peared, but it is alleged she has since lived
in Minneapolis, where Pratt supported her
and her illegitimate child.
There was quite contest in the bank
directory at the January meeting over his
position on account of the scandal. but it
was finally decided he should close up GER
tain business matters with which he was
familiar before severing his connection
with the institution. 1t is believed his
stealings began at that time. The Prasi-
dent of the First National Bank is II. l..
Tickner, well-known business man of
this city, and one of the pioneer citizens of
the northwest. The capital stock of the
bank was $5O000O. Unless matters prove
worse than expected, the depositors will
probably be paid in full
As yet no steps have been taken to hunt
down the absconding Cashier, but a reward
for his capture will probably be offered at
once. As ne has had weeks start he is
undoubtedly on the safe side of the Cana
dian line. 1t is learned that he disposed of
all his property in this vicinity some time
ago.

Ing Up Buildings.
New YORK, April 7th.-An explosion
presumably of a dynamite bomb. which
occurred February Sth in the rear of Stew
enson's brewery, has been found to be the
work of the labor union men, four of
whom are in custody at the police head
quarters. One of the four men Inspector
Byrnes has in charge made a confession
and told of the guilt of the other three.
The informer is Henry A. Fitzgerald.
formerly walking delegate of the Ale
and Porter Brewery Employees Protective
Association, who compose Local Assembly
$3.50. embraced in District Assembly 40.
The knights of Labor men implicated, and
who are in custody, are John O'Connell,
the President of the Local Assembly; Pat.
It. Close and Thomas Reardon, members of
the Executive Committee. O'Connell was
President of the Executive Committee and
undertook to bring Stevenson to their
terms. The prisoners constituted the Ex-
ecutiye Committee at the time of the ex-
plosion.
According to the informer's statements,
the committee went about to invent some
scheme whereby Stevenson would be made
to recognize the Union and discharge nom
union men. The fist plan was TO send
Union men to the brewery to apply for
work, and state that they were not attached
to the Union. Men who might secure en-
ployment under this disguise were to place
grease in the beer and ale watts. Several
applicants who visited the brewery failed
TO get employment. The conspirators then
conceived the plan to blow up the brewery.
The engine Of destruction, it was planned,
should be exploded in the engine room.
Opportunity to reach the engine-room was
not afford ed the conspirators, and dynamite
finally was used instead. Detectives who
have been working on the case learned re-
Gently that O'Connell stated at meeting
that it was one thing to blow up the brew
cry and another to prove it. Inspector
Byrnes, after securing Fitgeralds confess
sion, took him before the Grand Jury on
Friday, where he repeated it, and indict-
ments were found

American vines. The vineyards of the

Herbert Beecher from the rolls from the
10Th inst. Captain Beecher is a son of the
late Henry Ward Beecher He was nom-

ago as Collector of Customs at Port Town

kindly toward Captain Beecher, thereupon

va year ago, certain papers in connection
with Captain Beecher were found in his
possession. This and other matters were
brought to Secretary WINDOWS attention
shortly after he assumed control of the
Treasury Department, and after full in

been astounding. He now owns the Ana

CHICAGO April 7th.-A reliable Wash
ington correspondent sends his paper a
long story of what is believed to be a
nearly official statement of the future
policy of the Harrison administration.
He declares that the internal policy of
the Government will not be materially
changed, but that vigorous foreign policy
will be pursued. The first thing will be to
make strong navy, and to this end the
appropriations for naval vessels will be
doubled, ocean commerce will be encour-
aged and Cuba and Samoa be absorbed as
of more vital interest to us than to any
one else. The Nicaragua canal will be
taken under our protection, and, in gen.
eral the external interests of the nation
be looked after as the most necessary
thing now to be considered for our future
welfare.

Thousands of people are locking to
