The mystery surrounding the

employee Of the Bank,is under arrest

followed By g Pinkerton detective,
and where be confessed to his part
in the theft.
The public had well nigh forgotten
the story Ct the crime, which was a
nine days wonder, and which was
dropped by the press when the next
sensation came up. The bank placed
in packages the sun named in nation

Company for redemption. The
packages we're taken to the express
Office by two OF the banks messen,

Earl, who brought back receipt Tor

in Washington they contained slips
Of paper neatly cut in the shape and
size Of the bank notes. Who substl-
tutaG the slips Of writing paper for
the bank notes? This was o ques.
ton which was upon the tongue Of
nearly everybody, but nobody could
answer it satisfactorily. Crawford
had borne an excellent reputation at
the bank, and his conduct during the
scene immediately following the dis
covery Of the the theft seemed to
show that i would be unjust to sus-
pect him. The mystery was appar-
entity impenetrable, and the express
company shouldered the loss. The
detective whom il employed suspect
ed Crawford, however, and his sus-
p;c;ons were strengthened when that
young man. few months later, gave
up his position at the bank and went
to Honduras. Little by little the
evidence against Crawford was OBJ
tanned, and last February the de-
tectiye felt justified in going to Hon
duras and charging the crime upon
the young man, who st first assumed
an injured air and protested that he
was innocent, but who, when he saw
that the detective had been too sharp
for him, confessed his guilt. When
arrested he had in his possession
s32.525 in bank bills. The Adams
! Express Company is said to have
spent $4,000 il working up the case,
but it will now receive from the bank
the $4,000 which it made good.

UP TWO DOZEN LADDERS.
How John Phillips Is Scaling the
Big Chimney at Kearney.

NEW YORK, April 8.-The interest mani
tested in the work of John Phillips, who is
slowly creeping up the tall chimney Of
Clark's o. N. T. mills at Kearney, N. j., in
creases with every ladder which he places in
position and brings him nearer the top.
The greatest difficulty he has to encounter
will be in placing the last two ladders, as
with these he will have to round the bell or
cap. To do this he will have to swing his
ladders through expansion rings fastened to
the chimney after peculiar method.
Before Phillips sets the oath ladder-the
last but one-he will bore into the chimney
with a piece of II inch steel pipe, about 20
inches long, the boring end of which has
been split In several places to the depth of
one inch When the bore has reached the
inside of the chimney Phillips will pass
through the pipe an iron rod with an egg
shaped head. This head will spread the
split end and prevent it from drawing out
while the weight of the ladder is resting up
on the rings attached to the pipe.
Whensthe ladder is fastened securely and
IN position the top will be about nine feet
from the chimney and on a level with the
Gaping. From this ladder will run the iron
ladder with hooks. The bottom of the iron
ladder will rest on the top of the last wooden
ladder, and the hook end will reach over the
Gaping and into the chimney.
AS these ladders will remain in position
until the cracks in the chimney have been re
pared, 1t is necessary that the top ladder
be OF iron, as a wooden ladder
would be consumed by the intense
heat that passes up the chimney, Mr.. w.
Campbell Clark having decided to start up
the mill at once, If an examination Of the
stock proves that its interior has not been
damaged. The masons will do their work
while the machinery of the mill is being run.
Mr.. Clark said that he would certainly
make personal examination of the chin
ney. To do this he must be hoisted in
boatswain's clair to the crevices, which are
nine in number and run from about half way
up the chimney to its top.
Passengers by the Newark branch of the
Erie railroad have the best view of the
chimney, as the mill is nearthe tracks of
that road.
1t is believed that when Phillips places his
last ladder thousands Of people viii be
watching him from the surrounding hills,

Merchants Week.

The idea of Merchants Week is capital
one. If it is Boston notion the success it
met with when first introduced to that city,
and on future repetitions, shows its value
from mercantile point of view, and Port
land can afford to copy every good thing that
would seem to promise fair return for the
trouble and expense. There is no reason
why Portland should not reap harvest
from April 21st to the Goth. The railroad
and steamboat lines that centre here, whose
arms stretch out all over the state, into the
Provinces and the neighboring states, have
shown their interest by promising to sell
tickets at une fare. 1t will be the spring
time when people, who have bought their
spring supplies, will want to order summer
goods, and those who haven't.bought their
spring goods will never have better chance.
Portland has very large trade with all the
points named, probably the largest east OF
Boston, and does not fear competition with
the Hub. Every night of Festival, or Mer-
chants Week, there will be first-class amuse-
ments offered. The Emma Abbott Opera
Company Monday and Tuesday, Chambers
band concert and dance Wednesday, the
great Mock Adoption Of the Red Men T'lurs--
day-with the parade-and on Friday and
Saturday the Gilmore's Band concerts. Let
the merchants and citizens take hold with
will and big boom is assured.

THE PERILS OF the SEA.
The A. r. Crlttenden Loses Two
haen Off Sable Island.

Schooner A. r. Crittenden arrived at this
port from the Western Banks yesterday
morning. Her ensign was at half mast for
two of her crew lost off Sable Island. The
vessel is from Gloucester. The captain tells
this story Of the loss:
On March 10 the vessel was lying at
anchor on the Western Banks, near Sable
Island. The day was pleasant, with fresh
wind blowing from the southwest. About
three O'Clock the crew went out in their dor
les to set their travis, one OF the dOries being
manned by James Lehay and Sylvester Haf-
fee. While the crew were out snow squall
suddenly sprung up and it was with difficult
ty that the men reached the vessel. The
dory containing the two men mentioned did
not appear, and it was soon evident that they
had lost the vessel. Horns were blown on
board, torches we're displayed and the men
ventured as fsr as they dared from the yes
sci in dories, but no answer was heard to
their signals
They continued their efforts, however,
until midnight, when the wind suddenly
ceased. The barometer fell to 20o. and a
hurricane from the northeast seemed to
spring into existence. Its force was such
cable could not hold the schooner, and
through the dark night she lay under a
reefed riding sail, her cable stretching over
her bows for hundred feet clear Of the
water.
The waves were running heavily dashIng
over the schooner and no dory however skill
fully managed, could have stood them even
il the men could have endured the exposure
to the driving storm. The gale continued
one week, so unless the men were picked up
that evening they will never be heard from.
There is a bare possibility Of this. Once
during the night when the storm lifted for a
moment, a vessels light were seen some
three miles windward, and IL the men reached
her, they are safe, but the chances are that
they perished during the night. The men
were young unmarried fellows of about 25
years of age, and lived at st. Johns, New
foundland. Haffee had relatives at Cam
bridge, Mass, but Lehay had none nearer
than Halifax. This was their first trip on
the Crittenden, although they had made
many trips in other vessels. The captain
and crew Of the schooner are hoping that by
chance the men may have escaped, but after
their experience with the storm they think
nothing could have saved them, unless they
found some vessel early in the evening

Who Want to Lend to Mexico and
Get Concessions.

CITY OF MEXICO, April S.-Signifcant ar
ticles, favorlng and explaining the proposed
railway subvention loan, are appearing In
the Partldo Liberal, which Is the organ Of
the administration and its semi-oficial
mouthpiece. The purpose Of the articles Is
to prepare the public mind for the next great
financial stroke Of the government, which
has been offered enormous sums Of money In
London, Paris and Berlin for the payment Of
the subventiOn, one offer amounting to Geo.
100000. The sum proposed Is sufficient to
wipe out all existing debts, external and in
tsrnal, state debts, and all subsidies TO fall
due for ten years to come. The basis OF the
offer Is exceedingly liberal, and exhibits the
highest confidence in the stability Of Mexi-
can political institutions. The government
will soon establish legations at st. Peters
burg, Rio Janeiro and BuenOs Ayres, and
appoint a minister to England. Probably
