HICE is CRITICISED
By Assignee Warner, Who Points Out
to Court What He Thinks Are
ERRORS In THE PENN BANK REPORT
Captain A. Wishart is Mulcted in Costs BY
the Grand Jury.
ONE DAY In THE COURTS OF THE COUNTY

In addition to the exceptions already
filed by the defendants in the Penn Bank
case to the report of the master, exceptions
were also filed yesterday by Henry Warner,
assignee of the bank.
A number of errors were alleged, among
them being the statement that the master
erred in failing to find that the directors of
the bank, by gross negligence in the man
agement OF its affairs, made possible and in
vited the improper use of funds which re-
suited in the great loss to the bank. Also
that he erred in not finding that the directors
were grossly negligent in that they did not
take the ordinary precautions against
excessive overdrafts. and this enabled the
President of the bank to abstract its funds
without detection. Also that he erred in not
finding the directors guilty of gross negligence
by which the bank lost s., ,O0O 600, and that they
were liable to the assignee for that amount
He should also have reported the amount for
which Riddle and Reiber were liable, and
should not have found that Thomas Hare and
Samuel Severance paid to the assinee the
money improperly withdrawn by them from
the bank May 26 1884

A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.

MET WITH FOUL PLAY.


She Left Europe in a Steamer for America
No Trnce of Her Discovered Since
An Engagement TO Meet n Gentle.
man.
NEW YORK, September 24.-The friends
of Miss Bertha Muller, beautiful girl
who left Hamburg by the steamer Suevia
on August 81, are very much alarmed over
her disappearance. The steamship arrived
at this port Saturday, September Is, and
the agents of the SueviE declared that
the youbg lady was passenger, but where
she had gone they could not say. 1t was
learned to-day that there were two ladies
named Miss Muller on the passenger list.
One of them has been traced to Stonlngton,
Conn.,, but she is not the one who is wanted.
Miss Muller, who is an accomplished
musician and linguist gave lessons in music
to the wife of a we'll known American
artist who was sojourning in Munchen. a
correspondence followed the return of the
artists wife to this country, in which Miss
Muller expressed desire to visit America.
She was invited to call at the Broad street
Office of the father OF the artists wife, and
from thence go to Staten Island. Miss
Muller's last letter, written in Germany,
was dated at Munchen, August %, and said
that she would arrive on September II, but
the Suevia arrived and Miss Muller did not
materialize at the Broad street office
The officers OF the Hamburg Packet Com
pany were asked for information as to the
missing girl, but all they could say was
that she had arrived a saloon passenger on
their snip. and left her at the dock in Ho-
boken. What looks suspicious about the
Young lady's disappearance, and what salts
fes her friends here that she left Hamburg
on the date named, is the fact that the ar
lists wife on Lexington avenue has received
several letters from Munchen addressed to
Miss Muller in her care. 1t is feared that
the girl has met with foul play.
