blamed in financial circles for not over
hauling the securities carefully before de-
claring dividends.
Hill was flfty-ive years old when he died,
and had been president of the bank since
1877. He was looked upon rs a modest
genial, unassuming fellow. He lived at
Brunswick, N. j., in comfortable but not
extravagant style. He was fond of riding
and always had a pair Of valuable horses
Charitable aud benevolent enterprises were
literally supported by him. His brother,
Charles S. Hill, committed suicide in 1884

Jersey of s16s, 200.

nothing but the safe. The whole stock had
been transferred to the auction rooms OF
L. g. G. Wise next door, who claimed that
the goods were consigned to them for sale
on commission, and that they had advanced
Copeland $4,000 cash on account. They
also claimed the safe and book accounts,
amounting to about $4,000.

directors had no suspicion of anything
wrong Resolutions of regret were passed
concerning Hills death, and the discovery
of his crime, which followed an investiga-
tion by the national bank examiner, came
upon them like a thunderclap. 1t was the
old story Of unfortunate speculations. Hill
invested recklessly in grain on the Chicago
market, and used the banks funds to cover
his losses. 1t was said that he even played
the races heavily.
Hills method of covering his tracks was
simple but ingenious. Whenever bor-
rover Of the bank paid his loan and re-
ceived back his collateral, Hill pocketed
the money and substituted other securities
in the old envelope. The transaction would
be properly entered on the books, but
when the examiner came round the securi-
ties would be 80 juggled in the envelopes

impossible. No harm to the bank succeeded

and threatened to kill his wife, but tho
poor woman, who had heard similar threats
often, paid no heed to his rawlings. How
ever, one afternoon recently he went homo
drunk, and again demanded that she trans
fer the legacy to him. Mrs. Graber re-
fused, and the brute drew a revolver and
shot her while she was leaning over the
washtub. With desperate energy Mrs
Graber fought her husband and obtained
the weapon. Then. just as she sank dying
on the floor, she fired. inlcting a wound in
Graber's head from which no shortly after

PETER A. DosAHoE.

When Peter A. Donahoe, a grocer OF
Cambridge, Mass, disappeared lately 1t
was feared that he had met with foul play.
He was quite a popular young man, with a
good social and business record. An in
vestigation, however, showed that Peter
was not all he seemed, and that some OF his
methods OF raising money were decidedly
questionable. His family endeavored to
settle up his Shortcomings, but their pro
portions grew 80 rapidly that the attempt
was abandoned in despair. His venerable
mother lies at the point of death, owing to
the shock caused By Peters misdeeds; a
sister is also prostrated, and his brother
Charles, who was a candidate for priestly
honors at the Brighton seminary, has
severed his connection with the institution

Mr.. Carman tells in his "Nsw Potato
Culture" that his experience has led him
to answer all inquiries as to tho siso OF
seed pieces, "Use large sized pieces con-
tanning two or three strong eyes." The
advice to use whole seed he consider !
very bad indeed. Mr.. Carmsn's expert
ments make it appear that to produce the
potato crop potash is required in larger
proportion than either nitrogen or phosi
phoric acid, and that more is required
for this crop than for either wheat or
CORE, notwithstanding that the latter is
such gross feeder.

Appropriate and Artistic.
The influences Of city life have n tenden-
cy to contract ones ideas in building from
the fact that land is necessarily more ex.
pensive, and the natural result is to en-
deavor TO secure the necessary accommo-
dations by building one story above an
other upon as small plot OF ground as
possible. Daily walks along crowded
street where the predominant lines in
architectural composition are vertical, un.
doubtedly from the force of continual repe-
tition, leave an impression not easily
shaken off, and this unconscious educa-
tion or acquired taste in architecture is
directly the cause Of many unsightly, badly
arranged and constructed suburban and
country dwellings
