JOINED TIE COLONY.
A Louisville Bank Teller rlecs to Can:

A Louisville Eank Teller Flecs to Canada
William n. Pope, teller of the Louis
vile, Ky, City National bank, a trusted
employee and frequenter of the best social
circles of Louisville, is gone. His absence
from the bank yesterday morning excited
no comment, as it was supposed he was at
his sick sisters bedside OF in the country,
detained by the flood. When no word was
received from him at 1890, the officers of
the bank became suspicious and opened
the vault. A hasty examination shows that
between $4,000 and $50, 600 in large bills
are missing, the gold and silver coin being
left intact. A careful examination will be
required to get at the entire amount Pope
took with him.
1t was learned that Pope left on the 1855
O'Clock train Saturday night for Chicago,
where it is supposed he stopped with his
brother Samuel over Sunday, leaving at
noon for Canada. Pope was 80 years old
and had been with the bank since 1881. He
had been leading a DR.. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde life for many years as many compan-
ions are aware.
It was learned that Pope did not go to
Chicago as was thought, but left Saturday
night for Cincinnati, where it is believed
he tool the train for Detroit. 1t is ru-
mored that the carriage which took Pope
to the train from his Jefferson street room
contained q woman.
The Fidelity and Casualty Trust COM
pany, Of New York, was Pope's surety for
$40, 0OO. The company will spend twice
the amount of Pope's bond to secure his
arrest, the agent states. The bank officers
state that the amount of the embezzle-
ment, in round numbers, is 100000, and
they think Pope carried that amount with
him.

by an explosive weapon. The operation was
said to be very successful, and wal re-
peated a few days later on a man who was
wounded in the abdomen and it saved his
life. The women's society is determined
to push the crusade against vivisection,
and there is every promise of a fierce legal
war.

RELIGION AND THE STATE.

A Hebrew Minister'S Warming to the
American Congress.
Rev. DR.. Tobias Schangarber, of Balti-
MORE, lectured at the Harm Sinair temple
OF Religious Movements in Congress-"
He said that the introduction of bills
savoring of religion would shake the very
foundations of our government and work
for the establishment of anarchy. These
legislators forget, in their zeal for
tneir religion, that they are endangering
the existence Of a grand structure. The
standards of their religion ore pessimistic
full of darkness and gloom. Where it's
precepts are not strong enough to require
adherence, they would call in the strong
arm of government for their heavenly
work. Not by all the Blair Sunday rest
and education bills that were ever devised
will o condition OF affairs be instituted to
the credit of government by joining our
public schools to the church of non-sec-
tartan Christianity. Force is a weak
weapon; we have enough law-we want
more liberty. Chain the mind of a free
thinking man, and it will soon break
through and hurt the tyrant.

amalgamation of the three lumber dealers
organizations in Chicago was ~inaugurated

ton and the Lumber exchange are separate
and almost distinct bodies. They control
to a great extent the market Of the whole

unite the associations as far as possible by
placing all the business in the hands of
L secretary, holding NIL meetings of the
boards of directors in the same rooms and
trying to center the lumber trade of the
city in the new chamber of
building. A committee was appointed to
meet similar committees from the other
organizations and prepare a plan for unit
ing the three.

Estate.

Two Widows Fighting for IA Chicago Mans
Estate.
Two women who have been living within
a couple of miles Of each other for several
years unaware of each others existence,
met in a Chicago court, both believing
themselves to be the widow of the same
man. Joseph Pullman married Susanna
Pullman in England in the SOS, but
after a number of years deserted
her ard came to Illinois, causing a
report to be circulated in his old Lanca-
shire home that he had died soon after
arriving in this country. The fact was that
he kept on living and soon, in the guise of
a bachelor, married Ellen Hill. The first
wife, after some years, emigrated to Amer
lea and came by strange chance to Chi
cago; also with her were her three
children. The two families remained
in the same section of the city, but
never met. Pullman died a short time ago
without informing wife No. 9 that she was
not No. 1. The newspaper death notice
led to inquiries by the English spouse,
who satisfied herself of the identity
of the deceased without learning
of the second marriage. The matter
of Pulman's estate came ND in
the probate court to-day and the women
met for the first time. There was much
bitterness. Wife No. 2 won in Il contest
for the property, which amounts TO only
5000. No. 1 will appeal and til" litigation
promises to leave both widows without a
cent.
