False Figures Found In the Books and In

CLEARFIELD. Pa. Oct 0.-The preliminary
hearing Of President Dill Of the suspended
bank in Clearfeld and Houtzdale took place
this afternoon. Bookkeeper Bloom recog-
nized an entry in the journal made July IA.
1901. as being in Dilrs handwriting. This en-
try was an extra" to tho credit Of DILL
amounting to S12.684. made up Of three
items. Of which one was for $4,000
marked philadelphia Exchange" He
then turned to the bank journal OF the
same. date. and the $4,000 entry was
in Dill's handwriting. w. c. Smith. discount
clerk Of the Chestnut street National Bank Of
philadelphia was next called. and said that
Dill had no credit there Of $4,000 on July IA.
or anywhere near that time. This witness
c0rroborated the. Testimony OF Bookkeoper
Bloom that only 81 300 had been RENTED to
philadelphia. and that to the Chestnut street
Bank. Both We're closely questioned by coun-
sci and occasionally interrogated by Dill, but
they said no trace whatever Of the $4,000
credited In Dil's books could be found.
The Ban Bank b examiner then nron9uneed The
defence asked, for time, and the hearing was
continued until next Friday at Altoona Mr..
Dill was bound over in the sum Of 500. 900 to
appear at that time Another warrant was
served. however. by Marshal Harrah. charging
Dill with embezzling $4,000 from the First
National Bank OF Clearfeld. and he was no.
qulred to give an additional bond OF $4,000
before he could return to his home.

GRATEFUL SERGEANT BLAIR.

Sergeant Blair Of the Union Market police
squad has got new pair Of gold spectacles,
and pretty nearly the whole force seems to be
concerned about them. He used to be noted
for his rabid opposition to eyeglasses Of any
kind, and alluded to them as useless things
that didn't do anybody any good except the
opticians. who made money out Of the public
by selling them. Like the Sheriff in the comic
opera OF Robin Hood" Sergeant Blair had an
eagle eye.
He was laid up with fever some time ago
and got sick leave from the Captain. He load
ed up with quinine and nitre. and conquered
tho fever In week or 80 and reported for duty.
He got the midnight tour the first thing. and
after the men turned out he opened the blot

Capt Schultze's official slate. The doorman
