How Prof. w. K. T. Grossman Remained in
Concealment for Two Years.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Oct 23-Much surprise
was occasioned here yesterday by the an
nouncement Of the temperance of Prof.
w. K T. Grossman. who some years ago
robbed his employers and was supposed to
have gone to Canada. Grossman up to Jan.
1, 1887, was employed as book keeper for the
wholesale grocery firm of Johnston a.
Swartz in this city. He also operated q
large furniture factory, was partner in q
music store and was at one time q director
of music. He lived in great luxury, was
the owner of several fast horses, and spent
money lsvishly to entertain his friends.
The suspicious of the grocery firm
were aroused in 1888 by their book
keepers manner of living. and they

required large. outlay of cash, much of
which, 1t is believed, came from Gross
mans employers. An expert was intrusted
out the boOk-keeper's accounts, and he
found a deficiency of about S25. 900. Gross
man abscOnded, but he did not 20 very far.
Hehngered near the city. and at night went
to his home in fashionable part of tho
city. Here he spent over two years in his
the largest, but one of the best in town.
His whereabouts were known only to his
attorneys and about fifteen of his nearest
friends. The latter made frequent visits to
the house which Mrs. GrOssman continued
to occupy. The object of these visits was
ostensbly to bring the supposed grief
stricken woman messages from her hus-
band. who. was alleged to be earning a
scant livelihood by teaching music in
Canada. The object of these calls was. it
enjoyed himself immensely, and read with
of his flight to Canada and his
career in the land of the boodlers. The

charged is in the category of misdemeanors,
and the Pennsylvania law is such that
criminal limitation takes place in two
years. provided the offender is able to
prove that he has been In the State for that
time. Since Grossman is amply able to do
this. he will be exempt from further prose

in any way be molested hereafter. john

very fond, died. but for fear of detection,

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 23.-The all-Americas
travellers left Chicago this morning at s
o'clock under the care of Captain Burke, of
the army. This was because of the fact
that the special agent. William Z. Curtis.

distributed elegant souvenirs.

SPEECH BY GLADSTONE.
The Grand Old Man Discusses Politics B

The Grand Old Man Discusses Politics Be-
fore q Large Number of His Admirers.
LONDON. Oct 23.--Mr. Gladstone deliv-
cred an address at Southport this evening
He was enthusiastically welcomed. the hall
being crowded two ,urs before the open
ing of the meeting. Mr.. Gladstone reviewed
the work of the Liberal party during the
past twenty-one years. He paid tribute
to the laudable anxiety of the powers to
postpone European crisis. He referred
to the Cretan question as formidable
menace to the peace of Europe. He criti-
cised at length the governments work, and
claimed that all its useful measures were
liberal. The speech was short and some
what disappointing. Mr. Gladstone made
point by declaring that the principles of
tradesmen in Ireland would have been
penal. He was touched by the election
gains, and believed that if they could end
the septennial act. and appeal to the people
tomorrow, the verdict would be in favor
Of the Liberals and justice to Ireland.
The bulk of the speech was devoted to
Irish grievances. He said that the neces-
sity of the continued proclaiming of new
districts was evidence of the failure
of the coercion policy, and declared
that the crime rate was now the same as in
1884, when. in order to secure the support of
the Parnellites, the Tories declared that
coercion was not longer necessary. Mr..
Gladstone said he was unable to lay before
his hearers the scheme of the Liberal policy
for the future, beyond the outlines already
well known.
The hall was beautifully decorated, and
amid the profusiOn of flags and banners,
tastefully draped from the walls and pillars,
were scattered innumerable placards, bear
ing pithy and striking patriotic notices
and party war-cries. Upon q large flag be-
hind the speakers desk were blazoned in
letters of heroic proportions the words
Gladstone lives" while on the opposite
side of the hall a huge banner bore the in
scription I'VE win with the flowing tide"
