Remarkable Speed Of Train on ths
Bound Brook Railroad.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ga mile in thir
ty-nine and two-flfth seconds, or at the
rate Of over ninety miles an hour Is the
unparalleled feat that was accomplished
on the Bound Brook railroad, between
Neshaming Falls and Langhorn, by en-.
gine POS, drawing two ordinary coaches
and President McLeod's private car Read
ing, which Is equal TO two coaches in
weight. The fastest mile was scored In
80 4-5s.; the fastest five mills In 3m. % ass
the fastest ten miles in I'm. 12s., averaging
Ass. per mile.
The race against time grew out of some
good natured chatting that took place at
Judge Green's dinner 10 the Farmers
club Thursday, Aug 20 Mr.. William N.
Singerly was telling Mr.. Mcleod, the pres
ident Of the Reading Railroad com Dany,
that for thirteen years he had been maxi
ing II a diversion to time fast railroad
trains and that he had rarely Travelled
faster than fifty seconds Mr. Singerly
said that the Published records failed to
show mile better than fifty and one
quarter seconds, and that the best he had
timed was forty-eight seconds.
Mr. Singerly said he would give any en-
gineer twenty-five dollars for mile better
than forty-eight seconds.
Mr. Mcleod quietly replied that he could
do better than forty-eight seconds. A
special train consisting Of a locomotive
and three heavy coaches was made up.
When Neshaminy Falls was left behind
the engineer was signaled to let her 20 for
ten miles. President Mcleod feels greatly
pleased that his road has SO triumphantly
beaten the best railroad record.

Ex-senator Eyarts was in waiting at the
station with carriages, and the president
and his party were driven to Mr.. Evarts'
home They were welcomed by Mrs
Evarts. An hour was spent at luncheon,
and the president was then escorted to the
town hall II had been intended originally
to have an outdoor meeting, but the state
OF the weather made this impossible. The
town hall was crowded and the president
was greeted with cheers. He made brief
speech, in which he said that he did not
attribute to himself personally but the
institutions and the government the warm
welcome he had received In Vermont.
Evarts AS a Farmer
Continuing, the president said that he
was glad that Mr.. Evarts had introduced
model farming in Vermont Mr.. Evarts
had told him that his farm yielded net
income, but Mr.. Evarts' reputation as a
bookkeeper was not Of the best Conclud-

cheers for the president.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 2a-Gharles Law.
renee, the assistant cashier OF the Key
stone National bank, who is undergoing a
sentence OF seven years, has made a full
confession as TO how the frauds were per
petrated Ia the keystone bank Lawrence
placed the confession in the hands OF his
counsel, who, by request of the prisoner,
turned it over TO ex- Baak Examiner Drew
1t reads as follows:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2S.
"Colonel William 7. Drew:
DEAR SIR beg TO submit to you the
following circumstances as to the manner
in which you, as national bank examiner.
was deceived in your examination OF the
Keystone National bank. In the FIRST
place every means possible were used 60
both swell the assets OF the bank and to
diminish the liabilities.
The individual ledgers were altered at
least twice every year-about the time YOU
were looked for. This was done by me
since 1880, and the methods pursued were
various. Sometimes whole pages were alb
stracted. Mostly false balances were made
by altering the pencil figures. Large bal
ances were decreased and oyerdrafts wiped
out. Sometimes false credits were posted
TO an overdrawn account, so that your at
tention would not be drawn to the ledger
more minutely by an overdrawn account
when you might possibly see something
else TO excite your suspicion
Sometimes false checks were posted to
accounts having a large balance, so as to
reduce liabilities. This, you can readily
see required alterations and deliberations
TO very large extent, because, If check
had been posted falsely to an account aud
then that party drew on the account him
self in the regular course of business, you
will see that il necessitated a rearrange.
ment Of his account and corresponding
change In some other account. This was
done to the extent of probably $500 600,
more OF less
Now, / know that on the letters side
there were memoranda carried as cash
which represented the amount Mr. Lucas
owed the cash drawer. This was replaced
at the time of your examination by real
cash which was temporarily borrowed,
sometimes by means Of due bill taken
from the back Of the due bill book, some
times by means of a certificate Of deposit
or by the president obtaining a loan.
"The bills discounted were swelled by
the introduction Of fictitious notes. These
were intended both to swell the assets and
TO take the place of other bills discounted
which it was thought best not to let you
see | trust that you will find this suffi-
cient to show you how difficult il was FOR
you or any one else to discover the trno
condition OF the bank. With sincere re.
grets for the part took in deceiving you
in the above matter, and with the assur-
ance that it was not with the petty desire
to deceive You, but with desire TO carry
out the instructions OF my superior officers,
/ am respectfully yours,
