DILL'S CASHIER TEsTIFIES.

Clearield Bankers, Without Capital, Made
Free With Depositors' Money.
CLEARFIELD, Feb. 3.-The case of Common
wealth versus Banker Dill came up in court
this morning. The indictment. in which
there are eight counts, charges Dill, on in
formation of his partner and cashier, John
B. McGrath, vito drawing against the ac-
count of the Houtzdale Bank in the Chest
nut Street National Bank of Philadelphia
May 10, 1891 TO the amount of 900 and con-
vertinS the same 10 his OWE use without the
knowledge or consent of McGrath. The facts
brought out to-day are that Dill drew the
amount and had it credited in the First Ma
tional Bank here to his individual account.
McGrath swore he knew nothing of the
transaction until the monthly statement
was received from Philadelphia. He stated
that he and Dill entered into partnership,
without capital, and took charge of the
Houtzdnle bank. They advertised their car-
ital as $50 900. but did business wholly on the
money of depositors. This money taken by
Dill belonged to the depositors. At differ
ent times Dill took money aggregating
about $4,000 belonging to depositors and
brought it to Clearfield, saying he did so be-
cause the Houtzdale vault was not secure
None of this money except $4,000 was cred
tied to Houtzdale, but was credited to Dil's
private account McGrath was on the stand
when court adjourned. What the defense
will be is not known.

THE WESTERN LEAGUE PLAN.
Some Remarks That Somewhat Show Up
Its Weak Points.

There has already been considerable dis
cussion regarding the casting-of-lots system
for players and teams in the Western
League, and the following is from the pen OF
Ben Mulford on the natter
Jack Keenan,, the young twirler who was
given halfway trial by King Kel. last sum-
mer, was on this side of the river this morn
ing for the first time in many weeks. He has
just escaped pneumonia. keenan, is one of
the score of local players who have secured
one of the circular letters from James A.
Williams, of the Western League.
"Would be bound by that agreement
That is the question that is bothering me-"
said he. I'D like to play in indianapolis
Or Kansas City. but I'm not in love with
Milwaukee,"
That is the rub. Players in the Western
and same plan is likely to be adopted in
both the Eastern and Southern-will sign
contracts with the leagues and be assorted
and assigned by teams Under this arrange
ment only is it possible to enforce a salary
limit. w. II. McDermith says the Tri State
League used to have an iron-clad rule where
the figures were sworn to by the president
and all the directors, and even then the
limit would be fractured. Perhaps the ab-
sence of the ground-keeper's affidavit made
the instrument defective.

EDITOR ROTH PALOLED.
The Ohio Man Who Murdered His Un-
faithful Wife Receives Clemency.

COLUMBUS. o., Feb. 3.-[SpeciaL 1.-The State
Prison Managers paroled a batch of nine
prisoners to-day, the most importrnt being
Fred Roth, who was convicted in Wayne
county in 1857 of killing his unfaithful wife
Roth was an editor, and killed his wife in a
passion when he discovered her true char
acter. He was sentenced to hang March 16,
1883. and spent a considerable time in the
annex, was taken out, granted new trial
and sentenced to 20 years.
At the January meeting he was paroled,
but some charges were trumped up against
him and final action was delayed till to-day
in order to give those who had complaint to
make an opportunity to be heard No one
presented charges. Roth will go to Cleve-
land. After the managers had concluded
business they sent their designations to
Governor Mckinley to save him the embar-
rassment of asking for their designations.
This will save the necessity of a bill in the
Legislature for the reorganization of the
prison on partisan basis.

ABOUT THE SCHEDULE.

Vice President Kerr, of tho Local Club,
Finds Little Fault.
Vice President Kerr made few justifiable
complaints yesterday afternoon regarding
the plan of getting out the League schedule
of games yesterday. He said:
81 cannot by any means see why the
schedule is not to be made public before
March. There is no reason why it cannot
be completed now and put before the public.
Holding it back puts all the clubs except
two or three into difficulties, because we do
not know how to arrange exhibition games.
and we cannot get a start made with our
printing. Really it is very foolish to keep
the thing secret so long. Clubs who have
not representatives on the Schedule Com
mfttee will not know what to do"

ALLIANCE, Feb. 3.-[Special Levi Myers

paying the entrance fee. On the day of the
race he drove the horse himself, and while
the animal was at its speediest, he came into
collision with the skeleton driving wagon OF
one Michael Kennedy who was Oh the track.
The shaft OF the wagon penetrated the side

track, and asks 500 for the death of his

FIVE MYSTERIOUS MURDERS
They Were All Probably Committed by
the Same Assassin.


JoENsTowN, Feb. "a series of mysterious
murders has been committed within q
radius of 12 miles. Apparently all the five
murders we're done by one hand, but so far
detectives have been unable to discover its
owner. On December the body of we'll
dressed man was found in the woods near
Gallitzin with bullet hole in his head. The
remains were those of prosperous looking
man. The theory of suicide, which at first
prevailed, was dispSlled by the position in
which the body wls found.
A week later the body of another man was
found about II miles away with a hole
through his head. About this time it was
learned that George Myers, a prosperous
citizen of Frugality had disappeared and
the body was identified as his. Myers had
$500 on his person when he left home. Less
than week ago the decomposed body of
another man was found in the woods near
Bethel Nothing could be discovered to es-
tablish his identity. The horrible butchery
of old man Kring and his wife and the
cremation of their bodies a few nights ago
is attributed to the same mysterious muir
derer.
