With the completion of vessels now
under way and those already ordered,
England will possess about 500 well
equipped war vessels in 1894. That's all
right; she is liable to need them at any
time. 1t may be remarked in this con-
nection that our own armada is growing
apace, and what it lacks in numbers it
makes up in formidableness.

ordered to count the votes cast in the Tun-
mel precinct for Mediation. Judge Knowles.
counsel for Hall, of the canvassing board,
filed notice of appeal. and asked a stay of
proceedings until the case could be brought
before the Supreme Court. Shortly after
Knowles filed his notice of appeal, c. E.
Irwin, the Democratic member of the board,
filed an affidavit setting forth that he is
satisfied with the appeal of the case. Hall,
the Republican member. says he is not sat-
istied with the courts decision. and wants
the appeal. Mr.. Jack, the third member,
is out of the Territory. The question be-
fore the court is whether the minority of
the sboard has right to appeal, while his
colleague. representing the same vote, re-
fuses to do so. A decision is expected to-
night.

A CLOCK THAT WILL TALK.
Instead of Ringing 1t Will Speak the Time
Phonographically.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Inventor Edison has
completed Photographic clock, which. in
stead of ringing out the number of the
hours, will announce the time of day in
stentorian tones. 1t shouts out the time
every quarter of an hour. AS novelty, it
is certain TO take with the people. 1t will
prove, also, a very good Office clock, but as
an ornament in the parlor it is q serious
question whether it will ever be success,
especially where young people are feature
of the household.
The young man calling upon his best girl
on Sunday evening would probably re-
ceive a tremendous shock if he heard a
gruh voice break In upon his loving whis-
perings with the announcement that it was
twelve o'clock" In few minutes the
same harsh voice wopld croak again the an
nouncement quarter past twelve o'clock"
That very nice young man would have no
peace of mind till he made his escape from
the house, as every quarter of an hour that
clock could be counted on to shout. As an
alarm clock the Invention is destined to
triumph. 1t can ne made to call person
at any hour of the day Instead of setting
up an unearthy Gathering. as the present
bell alarm clock now in vogue. it will, in a
dignlfed and solemn manner, shout: John,
get up; do yon hear me, joint Now. if you
don't get up. I'll take the boot-iack."
As a kitchen clock the invention will be
popular with all housekeepers. Mary, the
cook. can be reminded that it is time to
put the oatmeal on, peel the potatoes and
warn her not to leave the pies too long in
the oven. In many other ways IL is expect
ed that the clock can be relied on as di-
rector and msntor In the household. 1t will
be several months before the article is put
on the market. and Mr.. Edison feels quito
confident of its success.

PENNSYLVANIA BANK CLOSED.
Cashier Of the Tradesmen's National. of Con-
shohocken, Defaulter for Over $4,000.

NORRlsTowN, Oct. 3l.-The following no.
tice was posted on the door of the Trades
mems National Bank, of Conshohocken.
Pa, this morning:
To Whom 1t May Concem-This bank is closed
in consequence of the defalcation of the cashier.
The dep0sitOrs will suffer no loss.
1t was signed by John A. RICHTER, j. A.
Wood Lukens, George w. Wood, George
Corson, directors. The cashier referred to
is William Henry Cresson. United States
Bank Examiner Robert L. James. who
made the discovery of the defalcation, says
the amount is not less than $50. 600, and may
exceed $4,000. The directors were in
formed of the defalcatlon yesterday. Cres-
son was charged. and he questioned the
correctness of Examiner James's figures.
Cresson has disappeared. His bondsmen
cation was in cash. There is no explana-
tion yet known for Cresson's conduct. He
stood high in social and church circles of
COnshohOcken. 1t is said a warrant for his
arrest has been issued.
A later dispatch says the defalcation
proves to be more. serious and more COM
plicated affair than was first supposed. 1t
was said by officials this afternoon that
the deficit would probably exceed So. .000
One of CressOn's methods for taking the
was to discount notes on which he had
forged the Endorsements and pocket the
proceeds. Until the amount of these notes
is known it will be impossible to state the
extent of the shortage, and it may be
months before accurate figures can be
ascertained. One of Cashier Cresson's
bondsmen is John Wood, his father-in-law,
who is president of the bank. The fact
that Cresson was operating on borrowed
capital is shown in a judgment for 5000,
held by VIM. Robertson of Philadelphia,
former janitor. for money loaned him over
eight years ago. His properties are heavi-
ly mortgaged and much of his stock as
signed as collateral. Cresson's bond is for
$4,000.
Cresson has lived In Conshohocken six or
seven years He was formerly clerk for a
leading insurance company at Philadelphia.
He had made himself quite prominent in
Conshohocken. and his name has become
identified with several of its leading enter
prises. He was the president of the Con-
shohocken Gas Company and vice-presi-
dent and treasurer of the Electric light
Company. He was leading vestryman of
Calvary Episcopal Church, and he took a
prominent part in the dedication of the
$4,000 church, to the fund of which he had
contributed handsomely. He!was regarded
as leader in society.

CLOSE OF DAvITTs SPEECH.

Abuse of Irish Politicians.

The London Times Again Denounced for It's
Abuse of Irish Politicians.
LONDON. Oct. 3l.-Mr. Michael Davitt
continued his speech before the Parnell
commission to-day. He said that Faragher.
who had been clerk of the Land League.
but who had turned informer and testified
for the Times, had been unable to prove
the assertion made by Attorney-general
Webster, that the league had advanced
smoney for the committal of outrages and
crimes. Mr.. Davitt regretted that all the
Land League books had not been found.
They had disappeared, he said. during the
confusion consequent upon the suppression
of the league, but the National League
books, which had been produced. revealed
nothing unconstitutional. He denounced
the publication of the alleged fac-simile
letters by the Times as an attempt at the
moral assassination of the political charac-
ter of a public man, which was unparalleled
by the action of any political party in the
history of any country. He ridiculed the
idea that the Times was not aware of Pig
gott's antecedents until he testified before
the commission. Mr.. Davitt concluded his
speech by appealing to the court TO say
that the Times had not proved its charges
against the men who were striving to end
the Anglo-lrIsh question.
When Mr. Davitt had finished, presiding
Justice Hannen complimented him upon
the ability displayed in his speech. and
thanked him for the assistance he had
given the court.
Sir Henry James then began his speech
in behalf of the Times. His address was of
an historical character. He denied that
any injustice to Ireland existed which
justified the present attitude of the Irish
Nationallsts. He referred at great length
TO the measures that have been adopted
during the last half century to improve the
condition of that country.
The Irish Times says that Mr.. Parnell has
had a conference with the Speaker of the
House of Commons relative 10 the best
mode OF executing his intentions at the
next session of Parliament in trying 90 es-
tablish the completely of the government in
the attacks made by the London Times on

The building fell with terrific
crash. Hundreds of volunteers were
speedily at work digging away
the debris to effect the release
of the imprisoned workmen who. when
freed, were carried TO a cottage near by
which was temporarily converted into a
hospital. Richard Corinick and one or two
others will probably not recover. The
owner of the building is severely con-
demned. as it was "Buddens,eckr affair,
and seemed TO have been constructed for
appearances only.

Prince Murat Lost Hfs Temper Because Miss
Caldwell Offered Only $4,000 Year.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-A copyright dispatch
to the World, from Paris, says: THE storm
which has been brewing for several weeks
past between Prince Murat and Miss Cald-
well finally burst Friday last when. at the
meeting at Miss Caldwelps hotel. for the
contract or final signature of the marriage
settlements. the notary announced that the
bride only allowed her husband an income
of $4,000 year. with reversion. after her
death, to her sister. Miss Caldwell declares
that she had warned the Prince all along
that she intended to make this arrange
ment. He h.i. however, always treated
her references to the matter as joke. re-
fusing to believe that she would venture to
treat him in such niggardly fashion. When.
however, the Prince heard the notary read
aloud the clause of the contract dealing
with this matter he arose from his chair.
walked MP to Miss Caldwell and exclaimed:
'Surelysthis is joke. You cannot wish TO
treat your husband with such public dis
play of suspicion
Miss Caldwell laughed and replied: II
have managed my fortune all along with
success and want to continue doing So"
The Prince still refusing to believe that
You have shown that you do not know
how to manage money"
The Prince thereupon became angry. ex-
claiming. Madam, / am not q beggar." and
walked out of the room.
The same evening the wife of the Princes
only son, who has all along opposed the
marriage, not relishing the idea of there
being another Princess Murat besides her
self, offered the Prince an assured allow
ance of $4,000 if he would remain single.
SlncA then hecOma
plete. and the abandonment of the match
is officially announced. Miss Cald we'll has
met the Prince several times while out
walking and driving since the quarrel
Friday last, but on each occasion he las
passed by without a single word, or even
raising his hat. Under the circumstances,
there is not the slightest chance of any rec
Onciliation being effected, or of the match
ever taking place. Not only the Princes
daughter-ln-law, who possesses much social
power and influence at Paris and who is
granddaughter of Marshal New, but also
the remainder of the Murat and Bonaparte
family were strongly opposed to the match.
Princess Mattilde BOnaparte, in particular,
who had been unfavorably impressed by
Miss Caldwell, was outspOken in he objec-
tions TO the marriage. Indeed, Miss Cald-
wells attitude and remarks with regard to
her superiority in money matters over the
Prince appear to have caused general ard
widespread resentment among all his rela-
tives and friends. Miss Caldwell is about
to return to America. and cabins have been
engaged for herself and party on board the
Gascogne, which sails from Havre the 9th
