CAUGHT IN SPECULATION.
Sank Cashier spauldIns Disappears and
 Also Conside able Cash.

BOSTON, Feb 12.-Harold E. Spaulding, cashier of the First National Bank and treasurer of the North Middlesex Insti- tuition for Savings, at Aver, has disap- peared and with him has gone about $20,- 900 in cash. The story is the old one of a prominent citizen, an active church worker and a trusted official, caught in speculation, and then resorting to thievery to retrieve himself.
 The developments, however, have caused the greatest excitement among the residents of Aver, many of whom are financially interested in one or both of these institutions.
 Spaulding was last at the bank Mon day night. He remarked then to one of the directors that he understood that they had ordered an investigation. Upon receiving then an affirmative answer he said he had no objection. That same night he wrote a letter to his wife stating that he would not be home that night, and added, Will explain to morrow"
 Spaulding's flight aroused suspicion and yesterday the doors of the bank were closed and Col. Daniel Needham, former ly national bank examiner, was given charge of the books. the books of the national bank showed cash of $SS, 900 while that in the safe aggregated only $21 ,000. Securities and negotiable bonds to the amount of $10O,Uo0 were found in- tact, as were also the securities of the savings bank and no loss is sustained by that institution, unless the books of the depositors have been falsified.
 Spaulding's. theft, it seems, has been going on for about year, and his prac- tice must have been to get small sums of cash from time to time This he covered by forced balance. Spaulding, it appears, has been dabbling in stock speculations. A letter came to him since his flight, from a Boston bucket shop, asking him to pony up'' on a $1 800 loss and batting him on to an other investment.
 The national bank will not suffer seri ously from the affair if S1S,000 or $20,- 900 Is the extent of the theft. Spauld- ing's bond was for $50, ,O00 and the bank has surplus of $l1,00O It will be a serious blow to his bondsmen, however.

NO IRISH COMPROMISE.

Parnell Says He WIl Not bs D.ctat ed to
 by Gladstone or the Priests.
 LONDON, Feb 12.-Mr. Mccarthy has been notified that MT. Parnell and his supporters have abandoned any present hope of coming to a satisfactory and honorable understanding with the anti Parnellites. Therefore nothing is ex- pccted to come from the meeting of the McCarthyites to-day.
 MT. Mccarthy is disgusted with the situation and it is anticipated that he will virtually, if not nominally, abandon the leadership to Timothy Healy.
 Mccarthy is said to complain that, while the English Liberals have urged him and his associates to ignore Parnell, they have failed to give any support more tangible than advice, while Parnell ap- pears to have unlimited means at com. mand
 MT. Parnell, in an interview, says that he will not recede from his position, which has been consistent throughout, and that he will not submit to the dicta. tion of MT. Gladstone and of the priests. He adds that he does not believe a gen. eral election will take place until Par, lament has completed its legal exist ence two years hence.

STARTLING STATEMENT,
The Secretary of the Whisky Trust Ar
 rested on a Serious Charge.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Secretary Gibson, of the whisky trust, was arrested at the Grand Pacific Hotel at noon He is charged with conspiracy to blow up all the distilleries of the country not mem- bers of the trust. Federal government officials are said to be pushing the case He was held in SEQ, ,000 bail
 General A. Hart makes the following startling statement: "A short time ago we learned that Mir. Gib- son was in correspondence with our gauger, O. s. DeWar. came on here and DeWar revealed to me the propo- sitions made to hlm by Gibson. Gibson told him that the trust could not get foothold in Chicago so long as the Shu- fields were located here. The obnoxious distillery must be removed.
 "Gibson had a perfectly safe plan, he said. DeWar was to get $10 1000 cash and $15, ,000 later, to introduce into the big spirit tank of the distillery, containing thousands of gallons of high spirits, an internal machine that was fixed to ex- plode at a certain time. The explosion would fire the spirits and throw the dis. tillery into a mass of flames. DeWar would give him time to get out of the place alive, but it would not do to let him live.
 "DeWar was to be killed by the ex- plosion, which was to occur one second after he dropped the machine into the vat. One hundred and fifty people who work in the place day and night would have been killed. The trap was to be sprung before Sunday. Gibson had the internal machine here. We ha ve it now in our possession"

RIOT AT CLARK'S MILLS.
Exciting Encounter Between Friends O
 the Striking Spinners and Off icers.

Exciting Encounter Between Friends of
 the Striking SpInners and Officers.
 HARRISON, N. J., Feb. 12.-The first violent demonstration since the begin ming of the strike of the Clark thread factory spinners occurred last night in Passaic avenue.
 For several days the imported spin ners have been working in the Newark mill and bunking in the Harrison fac tory, being ferried across the Passaic river every night.
 Last evening, when they walked up to the gate, nearly 5000 persons, mostly women, had assembled and formed a double line across Passaic avenue, through which Walmsley, the detested superintendent, and his following of 20 non-union spinners and guard of special officers under Detective Gregory had to pass.
 The women, many of whom had ba- bies in their arms, jeered the non-union men and began to throw missiles of va rious kinds. Two of these struck the reached the mill gate the specials sud- denly turned and with drawn revolvers and uplifted clubs made an onslaught on the crowd, which had closed up.
 Blows fell right and left, and several women were struck on the head with clubs. One woman carrying baby was knocked down. Finally the crowd fell back, and after a scene resembling a riot, quiet was restored.
 Feeling is running high, and the women say they will assemble again to- night. Should they do so, more serious trouble may result.

P.lrnell Writes to O'Brien Expressing the
 Futnity of All Attempts at Mediation
 He Says He win Not be Dictated to by
 Gladstone the Priests-O'Brisn and
 Dillon to Surrender To-Day.
 LONDON, Feb. 12.-Mr. Parnell. this afternoon makes public the following letter written by him to William O'Brien:
 ''The last information conveyed to me on our negotiations being of final character, conclude that nothing is left to be done on my part but to bring our endeavors to a close. I regret that it has not been rendered possible for me to consider national interests so safe guarded that I could feel that there would be no danger to the cause in my now surrendering the responsibility which has been placed upon me and which have accepted from the nation and race. I have been ready to act up to the spirit and letter of our under standing to the last moment, and I re gret that no course is left but to with. draw from the negotiations. The seal of confidence which covers what has passed between us prevents inviting a public judgment, but if 1t iS ever removed am confident that it will be held that have done erything in my power consistent with national interests to promote peace and reunion. Although these negotia- tions have failed, they have not been en- tirely unsuccessful toward advancing it.
 "On this at least you may congratulate yourself. The country has recovered considerably from its painful distraction and panic and the controversy is raised to plane whereon, unless it sinks again, it can be conducted without national hu- initiation and discredit, although I re- gret to have perceived in the last few days the existence in quarters where one might have least expected it a spirit breathing the deadliest hostility to peace. But whatever side true Irishmen take they owe you thanks for your beneti- cent efforts. I am sure that the country will agree that you have acted through out in the spirit of a true patriot"
