THE NORRIsTOWN DEFAULTER.
He Made OF With From $4,000 to
$4,000 and Left His Wife.

The cashier of theTradesme ems bank of Norris
town. Pa. W. III. Cresson. has fed Last week
Bank Examiner James found a shortage in his
accounts. and Wednesday he notified the direc.
tor. They at once confronted Cresson with
the charge. He did not deny the accusation,
but he contested the correctness of Mr. James
figures. Later. when the directors attempted
to locate the cashier, they were unable to do so,
and at last accounts he was still missing with
no clew to his whereabouts. Bank Exam ner
James says the deficit will be more than $780,
900 and may reach $4,000. Cresson invested
heavily IN stock of both the electric light and
the gas company. and held other stocks. He
was director of the Tradesmen's building and
loan association. an active member of the board
of trade and conspicuous In almost every enter
prise of public nature He vestryman in
the Cavalry L. Z. church and was an earnes:
worker and liberal contributor in the cause of
religion. He took a prominent part month
ago in the dedication of the new $50 600 church,
to the building fund of which he had con-
tributed handsomely. He WAS regarded as q
leader in society. He was the son-in-law of
John Wood. ST., president of the bank, q
wealthy retired iron manufacturer, whose
family hold controlling interest in the stock.
The bank entered up two judgments against
that the deficit would probably exceed $50 900.
One of Cresson's methods for taking the con-
Germs money without exciting suspicion, was to
discount notes on which he had forged the in
dorsements and pocket the proceeds. One of
Cresson's bondsmen is John Wood his father
in-law. Cresson's bond is for $40 600, and the
securities are good for the amount

education and that she was not accustomed 70

GOING HOME TO VOTE.
A Large Number Of Government EN-.
ployes Getting Leaves Of Absence.

A large number Of the employees Of the gov
eminent are being granted leaves Of absence.
Those who are voters in the states Of Maryland,
Virginia and Ohio especially are making ar
rangements to 60 home and vote. During the
next few days there will be quite an exodus
from this city of government employees. In
some Of the departments the employees find q
difficulty in the way of obtaining leaves of alb
sence. This is caused by
A DECISION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL OAKLAND,
which was made February "a. 1886, and has
been reissued by Attorney General Miller. The
decision is that when an employee has had dur
ing the year q leave OF absence on account OF
sickness for thirty days he is not entitled to
any further leave during that year with pay.
But IL 1t happens that he has enjoyed the
regular annual leave of thirty days then he
can have leave of absence on account Of sick
ness for any length of time the head Of the de.
partment may determine to allow.
IT IL CLAIMED
that this decision works an injustice as il Dc.
prives an employee of his regular annual leave
in the event that he should happen to be taken
sick before the leave in granted. He can have
a regular leave first and then the sick leave
afterward, but when these conditions are re.
versed he loses his annual leave. This 10 the
situation of a number who want to so home
and vote. They have had sick leave during
the year, but no regular leave, and now they
find that when this decision is followed if they
60 home their pay is stopped.
THE RULE IN THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
The Interior department, however, pays ne
attention to this decision, which was made il
response to an inquiry from the Secretary o.
the Treasury. The rule there is that each
employe is entitled to a regular annual leave
OF thirty days. If he should happen to bt
sick during any time in the year the absence ii
not charged to the regular leave, but a sepa
rate account is kept. As a rule thirty days arr
allowed for sick leave, but of course excep
tions are made in deserving cases.

COMMITTEES NOT QUITE READY
And the Maritime Conference, After q
Short Session, Adjourns Till Monday.

The international maritime conference re-
sumed its sessions at the Wallach mansion this
morning at 10 o'clock. The president said that
when the conference adjourned on Monday to
meet this morning the expectation was that the
reports Of the various committees would be
ready for presentation. He called for reports
from the chairmen as to their progress.
Admiral Mares on behalf of the fog signals
committee, said that the report was complete
and in the hands of the printer, but that it was
unsigned and that the committee would like an
opportunity to read over the report before
finally submitting it.
Admiral Bowden-Smith and Capt. Malenburg
OF the committees on devices and lights, re-
spectively, reported the same state of affairs.
THE CARRYING OF LIGHTS.
Capt. Malenburg withdrew his amendments
numbered II and II, both in reference to the
lights carried by vessels under tow, and he SUBJ
stituted for them another amendment, to the
effect that such a vessel shall carry the lights
prescribed by vessels not under command.
Mr.. Goodrich, on behalf of the delegates of
the United States, proposed an amendment to
article Of the rules Of the road providing for
auxiliary side lights for steamers. HIS second
one was to amend article 3 SO that vessels not
under command shall carry three white lights
instead of red ones.
TO PREVENT COLLISIONS
Capt. Bisbee of China offered an amendment
to the effect that small, handy boats in a large
concourse of vessels shall not attempt to cross
the bows of larger vessels. but that nothing
shall exonerate large vessel from doing
everything i'll her power to avoid a collision.
After this amendment was read there was a
pause for a moment in the council room,
broken only by the low hum of conversation
The chair then asked Are there any more
amendments"
Il should hope not!' remarked Mr. Hall
from the lower end of the table and beaming
upon the conference.
THEY sHUDDERED.
81 have half a dozen here" said Mr.. Good
rich, from the upper end, holding up a large
bundle Of papers, whereat MIR. Hall and the
rest Of the delegates gave a good-natured
shudder.
Mr.. Goodrich, however was induced to
hold his amendments, and he accordingly
made a little speech to the conference propos-
ing an adjournment on account OF the inability
OF the committees to report He thought that
there were number of topics which might
easily be discussed at present without waiting
for the committees. but he offered the motion
in Difference to the wishes of several dele
gates.
The motion was carried and the conference
at 1925 adjourned to meet on Monday at 10
o'clock
