ROBBED THE BANK.
A Cashier Gone Wrongs 30 900
Embezzled.

Cashier George Jessup, at the Scran-
ton City Bank, Pa, was placed under
arrest in the bank, May 25th, after the
close OF business at tho institution.
The arrest was made by order OF the
board of directors. He is charged
with embezzling the sum Of $l35, 200.
The directors also decided to close the
bank, placing it in the hands Of an
assignee until its condition can be
ascertained. The announcement OF
the cashiers arrest created intense ex-
element in business and banking cir
Giles and especially among the deposit
tors, many Of whom had made deposits
up to the close of business at the bank.
A number of the depositors swarmed
around the building, dccrying the dis
honesty which was practiced by the
officers OF the bank in receiving their
money, knowing that the bank was in
solvent. Several women dopositors,
who were frenzied with excitement,
tainted upon the street. Tho bank had
been the depository OF the city and
school funds, but with the change in
the municipal officers on April l.,
1886, 900 Of the funds were withdrawn
and deposited elsewhere. The county
was caught for upwards OF $4,000.
The funds OF number of secret and
building societies were deposited with
the bank and it is believed the societies
will be heavy losers. The downfall
of the cashier is attributed TO high
living and speculation in Improbable
coal lands. His bond is only s25, 900,
his father-in-law and his brother, Judge
Jcssup, being his bondsmen. Cashier
Jessup was prominent in Presbyterian
church affairs, and was also the presi-
dent OF the Pennsylvania League Of
Wheelmen. He was vice president OF
the National League Of American
Wheelmen. The amount Of money de-
posted with the bank is estimated at
5000, 900. The directors refuse TO talk,
but they say they hope to tide over the
difficulty.

tlal.
A correspondent asks us about pare
sis-its symptoms, treatment and cura.
bility, and whether ii might come to a
young man OF twenty-one who had been
very greatly taxed with study, business
and anxietiesp
Paresis is an incomplete form OF pa
ralysis. 1t may bequite slight. or may
rise In degree almost up TO complete
ness. The cause, symptoms and treat
mont OF both diseases are essentially
the Same, aud even paralysis may be
durable, We shall, therefore, speak OF
paralysis in general.
This aliiction may have its existing
cause in the brain. In the spinal cord.
or In the nerves themselves. away
from both tho nervous centers, In
which case IL Is called perlpheral pa
ralysis.
Peripheral paralysis may result from
destructive Injury TO nerve. or
pressure upon IL, or from some desease
affecting IT, Tho connection in these
cases Is cut OF between the muscles
and their cerebral, or spinal, center,
Spinal paralysis may be caused by an
injury Of the spinal cord In this case,
tho paralysis Is below tho injury.
There may also be degenerative dis
case OF more or less OF the cord. which
intorferos with the FREQ low OF tho
nervous currents to the muscles from
the centcrs OF volution In tho brain.
Tho strange gesticulations Of "loco-
motor ataxia" are duo To this cause.
Among the causes OF cerebral paral-
ysis are distractions TO artorial oircu-
lation In the brain by omboli (bits OF
ooagulum) carried into tho smaller
blood-vossols. most often from the
heart; blood clots from minute hemor-
rhages; pressure from ovor-distended
celobral arteries, and from tumors.
Generally the paralysis Is on one sido
OF the body the side opposite to that
Of tho cerebral lesion, or injury. II tho
face Is affected, IL IL drawn toward tho
sound side by tho strength OF the UNI
affected muscles. In paresis the mus
clos may be simply moro or loss weak
ened.
There are various forms OF paralysis
due TO poisons, as lead. for instance.
or to Diseases, as dlphthoria. These
arc generally curablee Sometimes
cold will give rise TO n temporary
paralysis OF tho part exposed to IT,
There Is form called acute ascend
Ing paralysis" which begins In the
feet and extends rapidly TO the trunk,
involving the muscles OF respiration,
md thence upward TO the muscles OF
speech, masticatlon and swallowing.
Paralysis IL not confined TO any par
ticular period OF life. Infantilo paraly-
sis Is somewhat common.
There is a form called functional
paralysis, duo TO conditions not well
understood, but sometimes connected
with exhaustion from ovor-oxertion OF
body or mind,
In tho treatment Of these cases, rest
Ii absolutely essential. In all casos
the best available medical skill should
DO sought for tho patient. Youths

WIZ 1T HURr ON MaRKEE

Washington dispatch. j.. l.. Baker,
United States counsel nt Buenos Ayres,
in his report 10 tho department Of the
state, says tho cattle industry of the
Argentine Republic is in such Ian.
gushing condition TINT n law has been
passed offering guarantee OF o per cent
for five years, on capital employed in
the business OF exporting fresh or pre-.
served beef. Tho report says il is I'M.
derstood that several establishments arc
preparing to take advantage OF the guar.
nntoo provided by tho government, and
are going into business on largo scale
with special steamers fitted mp for the
traffic and warehouses in England and
France. Grcut things are expected
from the bounty law, but Consul Baker
says he does not believe tho law will
hurt the United States beef shippers
much. until new methods are adopted
for the preparation Of beef for exporta-
ton. Stallfod cattle are quito unknown
in this country, and all bullocks for
market are taken directly of the grass,
tho meat, Of course, being soft and

1t was the worst riot that ever occur
red in Boone county.
Daley, one of the Timber Creek
burglars, in Marshall county, has con-
fessed and exposed the details OF a
robbery, duplicating John Dunn, one
OF the defendants brothers, from whom
800 of the stolen Doodle has been
secured and Dunn himself is in Jail
under $4,000 bonds. Daley also says
that Charles Dunn confessed to him at
different times that he burned two
farm-houses and one restaurant build
ing in Marshalltown for insurance.
Dailey's confession let's light into the
workings Of hard gang of toughs.
The large rolling mill located three
and one-half miles north of Burlington
was totally destroyed by fire. The fire
broke out in tho engine room and rap
idly made Roadway TO other parts OF
the large frame building. Tho hy-
drants do not extend out that far, and
there being no other means of securing
water the excited mon soon saw that
it was utterly impossible to stop tho
fires onward course. Twenty minutes
after the first alarm was given the
whole building was seething mass of
flames, and the heat so intense that II
was impossible to get within fifty yards
of the burning mass. The building
was a large, shell-like structure, dry
as finder, filed with large quantity
of iron and machinery, and inside OF
thirty minutes it was total ruin.
A very distressing accident occur
red in the Excelsior mines ut Oskaloo-
sa, the deadly falling slate being the
instrument OF death. There were three
in the room at tho time, one was kill
ed outright, one mangled unto death
and the third frightfully injured The
three persons working the room were
Mr.. Crayhill, his son Andrew and
third whose name is not given. They
had fired blast just before going to
dinner. 1t is thought that on return
ing after dinner that they neglected to
fix the props, some Of which had been
loosened by the shot. However it was
the false roof fell and caught all three
under its crushing weight. Tho boy
Andrew a lad about IA years old, was
killed outright. His father had bro
ken bones and serious internal in uries.
He lived but few hours. The other
man was badly crushed but will proba-
bly, recover.

Two cars loaded with heavy der
ricks, the tho property of the B. & o.
Railroad consigned to Chauncey M.
Ives. civil engineer of the Cumber-
land Valley Railroad, arrived at Pow
ellis bend on Monday for use in the
construction of the iron bridge across

During the present year more di-
vorce cases have been docketed in the
court of this county than ever was
known before In the same length OF
time. On Saturday Samuel Cromer
applied for a divorce from his wife,
Rosina Cromer. and Mrs. Annie M.
Herbert, wife of the man who was
whipped for wife beating short time
ago, has also brought suit for a di.
vorce.
Mr.. John Crow who resides with
Mr.. Simon Snyder in what is known
as the neck, shot and killed one day
last week strange pigeon that had
alighted on the barn. On examina-
tion it proved to be a carrier pigeon
with the name N. & +. Hannlen,
Cliff Park, Harrisburg, Pa, stamped
on its wing feathers, and brass ring
on one of its legs. Mr.. Crow after he
found out that it was carrier pigeon
was exceedingly sorry that he had
killed it.
We understand that Mr.. John Hof-
man who owns Fenton farm near this
place is about TO tear down the old
back building to the farm house at
that place. This particular building
has a history and marks the epoch of
life more than a century ago. 1t is
built of logs pinned together with To-
Gust pins and the floor worn smooth
with age is fastened with the same
material, nails being ignored by the
builder, for the simple reason we pre-
sumo, because he had none to use, for
at that time this was bowling Wild
erness infested with roaming bands
of wild savages. Sharf's history of
the Valley of Virginia in giving an
account of fight between two tribes
of Indians on this spot, speaks of this
cabin then occupied by man by the
name of Friend, whose remains lie
buried in corner of the field near the
bridge over the Conococheague Creek
and marked by marble slab.
From the account by this histO-
rian the logs and floor of this build
ing Is undoubtedly the same that was
used in its erection by Mr.. Friend
more than one hundred years ago.
Mr.. Hoffman should preserve all of
this historic building he possibly can
as it is certainly relic of past ages.
A large number Of hands are now
employed erecting the new iron
bridge for the G. V. Railroad which
will span the Potomac at Powell's
Bend one mile below this place. The
new bridge will be set on stone piers
fifteen feet higher than the ones the
old bridge rested upon which was
swept away by the late flood. Moth
ing short of a Noah's flood will be
able to sweep the new bridge from its
mOorings. ..
