reference TO international questions,

"My advisers, ayailing themselves OF

THE BANK ALL RIGHT.
The Clearing House Comes to It's Aid-Was
There Collision?

New YORK, April 3O.-The exact
amount of money that President John
4. Hill stole from the Ninth National
Bank from 1877 up to the first OF March
last. the date OF his death, is S40S, 600,
as shown by Bank Examiner Hepburn's
statement. II the Wall street pessi-
mistS who claim TO have knowledge III
HIPS speculationS are to be believed,
his defalcation will reach up TO the
5000, 600 mark as soon as a thorough
examination Of the books and securities
of the distressed bank is completed.
Hypocrisy was John L. Hills pass
kew TO crime. His suave, gentiemanly
manner deceived his business and per-
sOnal friends. Ever since he was IN
stalled in the Presidency Of the Ninth
National Bank he has been going down
hill that was literally creased by him.
self. He had not been in the chair
month before he impressed every one
under him favorably. His cashier was
piece Of putty in his hands: his loan
clerk was loan clerk in name only.
Mr.. c. Henry Garden, the present
President OF the bank, had the most lm-
plicit faith in the man. He had even
made him executor Of his estate. Mr..
Garden said yesterday, 1T is fortunate
for my heirs that did not die first"
There is no danger Of Il run on the
bank now. Everything was quiet yes
terday; in fact, more money was taken
i'm than was paid out. President Car
den reached the bank about a. IN.
When asked for an explanation Of the
defalcation. he whispered. Mr.. Hill
was the Ninth National Bank rhat
statement explained it all. The facts
connected with the building up OF the
banks capital ut the meeting OF the
Clearing House committee on Tuesday
evening were learned late last night. IL
seems that they decided to advance the
valuation of the Broadway building
from S342, 900 to S450,OO0.
The members of the committee have
also decided TO put in as the bank
assets the Southern Boulevard real
estate, which they valued at $4,000,
subject to $4,000 mortgage.
HirS defalcatiOn amounted to S4OS,-
GEO. As will be seen, this arrangement
would even things up. As has been eX-
planned, the placing Of this real estate
on the asset side of the banks ledger Is
contrary TO law. When one of the di-
rectors was asked about this yesterday
he said that he thought it was eXcusable
i'm an extreme ease of this kind. The
directors have agreed to buy in this real
estate at the valuation price at the end
of year If necessary.
Did Hill have an accomplish?
That question was asked a thousand
times yesterday if it was asked once.
Practical banking men holding Subordi-
nate positions are unanimous in the eX-
preston of opinion that such crooked
ness could not exist without the cashier
and the loan clerk knowing of it. They
pronounce Cashier Nazro and Joseph
Hill either fools or knaveS.

Sale OF Lots Charlestown NJ. M. II Imp. Co.
The interest manifested in the devel-
opments already begun in the Eastern
Panhandle is quite gratifying TO the
people of the whole State. While there
is a general inclination TO boom all
sections down there, The one place
which is moving ahead of all others and
is offering the best inducements TO per-
sons wishing to invest in safe real es-
tate or industrial enterprises is Charles
town, Jefferson county. In the first
place, it is surrounded by choice farm
lands, unsurpassed for fertility in the
State, and all admit this is a good feat
ure. Already the Shenandoah brass
and iron works have an extensive plant
in operation there. A mammoth har-
ness factory is another very valuable
adjunct to the industries of the town,
and it is only question Of short time
until other enterprises will be started.
The first sale Of lots takes place May IA

vesting in choice property, either for
permanent investment or for Specula-
ton, will find it worth their while TO
attend.
