STOLE HALF A.MILLIoN.
The Dedication at the Kingston Isanh
 Much Greater Than Supposed.

The Dedication at the Kingston Isanh
 Much Greater Than Supposed.
 KINGSTON, N. Y., Oct. 5.-Al Ulster County is in the greatest excitement over the closing of the doors of the Ul- ster County Savings Institution.
 Expert examiners have been at work since Tuesday, and have found already that the enormous sum of $46S, 900 has been stolen by Treasurer Ostrander and Matthew T. Trumpbour, assistant treas urer, and it is feared that the stealings will reach over that amount
 Superintendent Preston swore to g complaint charging Trumpbour with perjury in swearing to false statements contained in the July report of the bank to the Banking Department, and Trump bour was arrested at his house by Chief of Police Hood. He had his clothes all packed up and was preparing to flee from town. He was locked up in jail and there he remains.
 Ostrander was arrested about two weeks ago for embedding $75,000 and was under bonds of $20, ,000. His bonds men Friday night turned him over to Sheriff Dill, and he was also locked up in jail When Ostrander was arrested there was great run on the bank for three days, but the other banks came to the rescue of the; Ulster County Savings duu Ouo UEuSUccS mute q statement showing that there was sur plus of $245, 00O The statement being signed by such we'll known men as Judge Alton B. Parker, Gen. George H. Sharpe Judge William s Kenyon, Postmaster Noah Wolven, John w. Soaring eff the Kingston 'Ieader," " and other reputabl e citizens, had a reassuring effect, and the depositors who drew out their money brought it back again.
 The system adopted by James E. Os- trander and Matthew w. Trumpbour, the latter being fully cognizant of the stealing and assisting in concealing it, for the purpose of swindling the deposi tors and hiding the theft, which grew by degrees, was most ingenious, and fol twenty years has baffled the skill of ex. pert examiners in the employ of the State. In carrying it out. deceit and perjury have been frequently and effec- lively employed.
 The people had great confidence in the institution, and the deposits, from $546, 973 in 1867, ran up to $2, 196, 07O ir 1873. No matter what the state of the money market might be, it was always conceded by every one that the Ulster County Savings Institution was sound.

THE census bulletin showing the as sessed valuation of property in the several states has Massachusetts put down for per capita valuation of S961. This is the highest on the list, South Carolina being the lowest at S114.S3 per capita. The southern states, having few large cities, generally have low per capita assessment, Texas leading at $311.27 The bare figures of such a compilation give little indication of the true conditions because the custom of fixing valuations for taxation varies so widely in different states.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-While ex-Presi- dent Cleveland was being besieged by reporters at his home last evening, it was noticed Ethat there were dark half moons under his eyes, but the happi- ness he felt was unmistakeable.
 ''Yes, it is quite true,' he said, before any question was asked him. "Both the mother and child are doing splen- didly. Mrs. Cleveland has rested quietly all day and is much better than could be expected The child is strong and healthy. At its birth it weighed eight pounds.
 MT. Cleveland intimated that it was likely that they would go out of the city as soon as Mrs Cleveland was strong enough to travel.
 During the afternoon and evening g number of congratulatory messages were received. Mrs. Folsom, Mrs. Cleve lands mother, and Miss Rose Cleveland were among those who sent telegrams.

 "Now there's the case of Ed Jackson, who was buried two years ago to-day" continued the muscular giant, as he wiped a spot of oil from one of the pol iShed rods with a bit of waste. "He was called hero for saving trainload of passengers. So he was, one of the grandest, in my opinion, the world ever knew; but how many were aware of the real untold tragedy that underlay that action. Mind, now, I don't say that all railroad men are heroic or that their lives are all tragedy, not by any means. Some of the happiest homes you can find in the country are under the roof-trees of railroad men who wear greasy blouses most of the time.
 'About Jackson. Well, it may in terest you. He was an engineer on the N. & O., when I joined him as fire man. He was one of the oldest in ser vice on the line. Though a fine me chanic Ed was not much to look at. Nature seemed to have grudge against him, for after giving him an under sized, stoclzy body, she added a stiff neck, which made him carry his head a little on one side. How he ever came to catch the fancy of such a pretty girl as Kitty Moore was a puzzle to Q great many besides me. Their families had been ncighbors for years and they had always been more or less in love-at least Ed had. Kitty could not help seeing that he had heart of gold; then there was snug bank account, no small argument, for Kitty came from a forehanded race and had practical little head on her shoulders. She loved him, too, but with no such love as Ed poured out on her. He seemed to ! feel that it was asking a great deal of a handsome girl like Kitty to tie herself down to such an unfavored fellow as he, and it made him try the harder to brighten the little spark of love into a bigger flame. We roomed together when on the road, so came to know considerable about the love affairs of the two
 Ut was along in the summer, three years ago, that I first heard Kitty's name mixed up with that of travelling man from New York. He had met her at party in Shoctown, and from the first was very attentive. The boys tried to joke Ed about it, but he paid no atten- ton to them, so implicit was his trust in Kitty. What I heard led me to keep my eyes open, and I soon saw enough to give me apprehensions of future trouble. The man was dead mashed, , as the boys say, on the girl. She, like all pretty women, was not disinclined to bit of irritation, though whenever her new admirer was around she was doubly affectionate to Ed. He was su- prcmely happy, and, oh! so proud of his little sweetheart. The wedding day had been settled and Ed was at work fitting up a pretty home. About a month before the date fixed for the marriage we were ordered out with a special that would keep us away several days. That morning Kitty came over to see us off. I thought she had never looked so pretty as she did standing there on the platform taking to Ed and occasionally sending D saucy look up at me in the cab window from under her sun umbrella. She remained until the last minute, and when the signal was given to start, to the surprise of both of us, for Kitty was very chary about

tired. She cannot afford it. It takes
too much out of her life and out of her

The careless or shallow woman saws:

Peaches in Danger.

The warm, moist weather of last
week so swelled the peach buds that
there are some trees in Sussex county
nearly ready to bloom. A few more
such days would so forward the peach
buds that the next frost would do ire
parable damage. As there were no
peaches last year and but a short crop
the year before, another failure this
year would mean financial ruin to
many growers.

disastrous effect of the phenomenally

Mr.. Brown points out that the weather
