The infatuation Of young Charlie Tun-

employed as a clerk.
Tunnel went to Philadelphia several
years ago and has been living at ia

ment by Mr.. English. A year ago he left
to conduct produce business at 100
Spruce street. The business was fail

threatened to have him arrested.
A week ago Tunnel applied for and
secured his old position. About 30
o'clock yesterday afternoon his employer
sent him TO the Tradesmen's Bank to
