He Lived High.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 10.-The profound
est sensation was caused in business ana So
cial circles today by the announcement that
George Z. Whitney, individual b0okkeeper
of the Albany City National Bank, was an
eIl.bezzler of the banks funds to the amount
of nearly $4,000. The defalcations have
been going on at least TWO and half years
Whitney was accused of the crime, and
mace confession which may result In i'm
pllcatlng a prominent business firm here.
Bank officials are reticent, but 1t Is generally
understood the defalcation is the result of a
conspiracy between Whitney and the firm
referred to. For the past two days he has
been engaged in assisting experts in unravel-
to evade the law.
Ii the defalcation reaches $4,000 the capi-
tai OF the bank Is impaired as by the last re.
port the surplus and individual profits
amount to only $4,000.
Whitney was arrested late this afternoon
at the instigation of his bondsmen and ar
raigned before United States Commissioner
King. Much sympathy is expressed for
whitney, who was evidently instigated to
the. crime by the demands of the parties
Though he has. been employed by the bank
"A years his salary until recently has only
been $500 per year. 1t is thought he has
been living beyond his means, and specula-
tlon Is assigned as one of the causes.
oTcs Il he ASsnE asy Ths Gty TaOe BaOk is1 om
which Bookkeeper Whitney embezzled, has
been at work on the books. 1t Is stated the
sum Will be 100000 or over. The bank is
perfectly solvent, and is prepared for run
in the morning.
William Gould, of the firm said to have
Deen In collusi0n with Whitney, said tonight
that the statement was false, and asserted
lnqlVidual members of the firm had been
culprlts. Several other firms are mentioned
as having crooked transactions. One of the
directors OF the bank, Amsdell, the head of a
large brewing firm, paid in $4,000 last night
TO cover worthless paper his son made in
collusion with Whitney.

7. Il. Farrar, Columbus (Ohio)
matchmaker, has invented one of the
most peculiar clocks of the nineteenth
century. 1t consists of plate glass
dial suspended from the ceiling, and
all the parts of it that are visable are
the two hands, the pivot on which
they swing, and the dial. 1t is mark
ed "Grayitation Clock" and not one
person in thousand who passes it
has the faintest idea that it is the
most ingenious device of the century.
Many clocks with glass diaIs have
the works of watch as their motive
power, but this clock has no motive
power that is visable.
Mr.. Farrar worked on the inyen.
ton for six years before he succeeded
in perfecting it, He alleges that the
only motive power is the grayitation
OF the earth, and that the clock will
run on forever without winding.
The only imperfection is that it loses
from four to five minutes per day
from the friction of the hands on the
pivot, and, therefore, the hands re-
quire to De regulated once in twenty.
