Gibson, on Nov. 9, 1891, was tried before
Judge Rucker in the west side criminal
court and convicted of grand larceny.
Execution was suspended until December
IS, when he was brought over from the
county Jail to the west side court.
While waiting in one of the ante-rooms
of the court house he took advantage OF
the deputy sheriff in charge and made his
escape through the side door.
his exit was soon discovered and he was
chased over the greater portion Of South

castle he stuck Winchester cut of por'

Charles H. Pinckham. Dr., Arrested.


New YORK, May 6.-Charles H Pinck-
ham, jr., former president of the Harlem
bank, was arrested this afternoon on an
Indictment charging him with misappro-
priating $4,000 of the funds of the bank.
Discovery of the alleged defalcation was
made when the consolidation of the Harlem
with the Hamilton bank was put into exc
cution. David f. Porter, Pinckham's sue
cessor as president of the bank, said Pinck
ham borrowed OF the bank for himself on
securities which were found to be worth
less. a son of an ex-alderman seems TO
have been benefited by tbe transactions
and If he is in this country he should have
him indicted also. The condition
of the bank Of Harlem after the
losses are allowed for, it is asserted
shows unusual strength, having on hand
$780, 600 against total deposits Of 1929, 000
Furthermore, the Hamilton bank has
already protected the situation. Pinck-
ham, IN the capacity of president, gave two
promissory notes OF the respective value Of
$1,000 and $500 TO A. H. Wood, a theatre
cal man now in prison for swindIing in con-
nection with the erection of the Harlem
theatre. He also gave check on the Har-
| lem bank for $14 500 to Wood for notes. and
accommodated others in the same way.
| Pinckham is 20 years old. His bail was
fixed at So, 800
After the arrest Pinckham said he was
much perturbed to make statement. He
stated, however, it appears strange to him
that after two years the bank should take
such action when they knew the circum-
stances all along. He admitted the deficit
in the bank account which fact the board
of directors, he said, were acquainted with
all along.

Young Maryland pemocrats.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 6.-The young
Democrats of Maryland had large meet

Resolutions were adopted demanding that

In regard to tariff reform, Cleveland and

1--WE protest in advance against all at
tempts at compromises, equivocations, OF
straddles in regard to these great issues as
time serving and cowardly, dishonoring tt
the Democratic party, as in the interest OF

owners, and hostile to the true interests O.

has been rapidly rising the past two days.
The lowlands are submerged, crops ruined
and the farmers are taking their stock and
families to high ground for protection.
The small levees along the Des Moines
and Fox rivers have broken and large
tracts are under wster. The main levee,
however, is yet safe. Alexandria, Mo-, is
surrounded by water, and the people are
travelling about in boats. Should the rise
continue much longer the disastrous flood
of four years ago will be repeated.
