something About the President of the

NEW YORK, May 1.-The exact amount
of money that President John 7. Hill
stole from the Ninth National bank from
III up to the 1st of March last, the date
of his death. is S4OS0OO as shown by Bank
Examiner Hepburn's statement. Some
Wall street men say, however, that it
will run to $780, 900 when the facts are all
out. Hypocrisy was John I. HIPS pa -
key to crime. HIS suave, gentlemanlv
manner deceived his business and per-
sonal friends.
Creased the Banks Down Hill Road.
Ever since he was installed in the presi-
dents chair the Ninth National bank has
been going down hill that was literally
creased by himself He had not been in
the chair month before he impressed
every one under him favarably. His cash
Ter was piece of putty in his hands: his
loan clerk was loan clerk in name only.
Mr.. c. Henry Garden. the present presi-
dent of the bank, had the most implicit
faith in the man. He even made him ex-
ecutor OF his estate. Mr.. Garden said
Wednesday: 1T is fortunate for my heirs
that did not die first" The bank Will

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May Lit seems pos
sible that strike among the coal miners
of Ohio will occur shortly after May l.
The situation is very threatening and the
operators who are here are very much
alarmed. Complications have arisen in
connection with labor strikes ia other
states which threaten to involve the en-
tire miners organization of Ohio. w. z.
Rend, the mine operator from Chicago,
who owns extensive coal interests in
Ohio, said in this connection: There are
very serious difficulties in the way of a
settlement OF the mining question in this
state. Contingencies have arisen in con-
nection with matters outside the state of
which l am not at liberty to speak in de-
tail, but which fear will give US serious
trouble"
Machine and Pick Mining.
There is also difference between the
miners and operators who have been in
conference. Four years ago the miners
and operators by arbitration agreed upon
price for both machine and pick mining,
and it was arranged that the price of
machine mining should rise and fall with
theprice ofplck mining. This arrangement
was reiterated three years ago, and has
been in force since. One-fourth of the
mines in the state contain coal cutting
machines, and the owners of these mines
control three-fourths of the Ohio output.
Men Want Readjustment.
The miners yesterday insisted on n re-
adjustment OF the machine mining scale,
and at meeting of machine operators
last evening 1t was decided unanimously
not to consens 70 a change. They affirm
that If the rates for machine mining were
changed they would not consider them
selves bound to any rates for pick mining
established after May l, and vice versa.
This decision was Impaired to confer
ence of miners last night. The miners do
not seem disposed to accept this, and the
result may be a strike
