HILL A DEFAULTER
lamesburg's Late Bank Cash
ier Short 100000.
KEPT A FANCY POULTRY FARM.
The Bank Examiner 0haraoteriSes Him as
a scoundrel and Thief

The Depositors VIII Not Lose Anything
Hill Had Been Trusted Cashier for 90
Years and systematically Appropriated
the Funds---His Two Brothers Were
Defaulters, and One of Them Com
mitted Suicide.
JAMEsBURG, N. j., Jan. 15-The cloud
of suspicion and distrust which has how
cred over the acts of I. Wilton Hill in
his late capacity as cashier of the James
burg National Bank has at last been
broken, revealing him a defaulter to the
amount of $25, 900 or more Hill had
been the Jamesburg Banks cashier for
20 years. His death occurred three
weeks ago, and before he was buried
rumors were circulated impugning his
integrity.
A Government bank examiner was
called in to examine the banks books
Yesterday this examination was CON
cluded, and the examiners report show
ed that Hill was an embezzer 10 the eX-
tent of $25, 900 to $50, 900, that he ap-
propriated all the assets of the bank he
could lay his hands on, and even sys-
matically robbed the depositors
F. l. Buckelow, the president of the
bank, and his family own three-quarters
of the SIS, 600 stock and the greater part
of the balance is divided up between
Directors w. II. Courier, J. c. McGee,
George Van Arsdalen and Mr. Townsend
In any event the depositors will be safe
as the directors will be compelled to
make good the loss.
1t is reported that when the Govern
ment examiner was leaving town he told
depositor that Hill was both a scoundrel
and a thief
Hills salary as cashier of the bank
was only 81 500 year, yet his expenses
were reported to be at least $50 a day.
HIPS favorite hobby was keeping a
fancy poultry farm on which he spent
much time and money, but which, it is
said, was never paying investment.
! The stock on the farm was sold at auc-
! tion on Wednesday.
The history of the Hill family has
been a rem. @thle one. John I. Hill,
whose dpasr irTed about year go,
was preSidpui of the Ninth National
! Bank of New York. Only after his death
| did it become known that he had en-
bezzled 100000 of that institution S
| money.
Charles Hill, another bI Iother of I.
Wilton, was for many years the trusted
! cashier of the First National Bank here.
| About four years ago he committed sui
eide, almost simultaneously with Nah
| lon Runyon then president of the bank.
| These two had combined in wildcat
schemes in Wall street, and took theil
| lives when the fact of their 5000 de-
| falcation became known.

Judged Guilty of Contempt.


ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 10. Upon the
question of substitution of a new enum-
Grafton bill Senator Coggeshall asked to

could not vote intelligently. The Lieu
tenant-G Governor put the question to the
Senate as to whether Mr.. Coggeshall
should be excused, and by a party vote
permission was refused
Senator'S Erwin, O'Connor and Saxton
each followed Senator Coggeshall's ex-
ample and were treated in like manner
by the Senate. A substitute was adopt
ed, and the question recurred on the
final passage of the bill, The Senators
again refused to vote
After the roll bad been finished and the
bill announced as passed, Senator Cantor
offered his resolution: "Resolved that
the members of the Senate refusing to
vote be adjudged guilty of contempt and
that the whole matter be referred to the
Judiciary"
Senator Coggleshall voted ''No, ex-
planning himself in favor of an enumera-
tion bill but not being willing to vote
for one he had not read Senators Err

that he would rather go to Jail than stul-

sorrow in the Dominion.

TORONTO, Jan. 15 Dispatches received
here indicate that profound sorrow has
been created throughout the whole OF
Canada by the announcement that
Prince Albert Victor had succumbed to
his illness. Everywhere flags are flying

from many private residences and bust

grief. j. r. Robertson Masonic Grand

LONDON, Jan. 10. - The Prince and

No News of Young De Lima.

NEW York, Jan. 15.-The whereabouts
of Edward De Lima, the young man who
so mysteriously disappeared on Jan 5,
are still unknown. The missing man
lived with his mother, brother and sister
at the Hotel Langham. The theory of
the missing mans brother is that he
went on board the steamship Trave to
say goodby to some friends and was
carried out to sea. The Traye has ar
rived at Southampton, but at the office
of De Lima & Co it is said that no cable

President Baker is Reelected-Ben But
terworth's successor-salaries Reduced.
CHICAGO, April 9.-World's fair di-
rectors at their meeting Friday after

nunds; solicitor, w. X. Carlyle; treas
urer, A. +. Seeberger: auditor, W. X.

the reduction of salaries. As indicated,
the finance committee made a report
before any voting was done, and the
salary of the president was cut from
s12, 900 to $4,000 per annum, and Mr..
Baker says he won't draw that. The sal
airy of So, 600 which Mr.. Bryan drew as
first vice-president was withdrawn, Sc
that Mr.. Higinbotham will serve with
out pay-something, however, which
he intended doing in case he became
president. The office of second vice
president has not had any salary at
tached Treasurer Seeberger's salary
of s., 600 was reduced $1,000. Mr.. Ed
munds, who becomes secretary, will
draw 81, 900 per annum, raise from
81, 500, which he has been drawing
as assistant secretary. Mr. Butter
worth, who retired from the office of
secretary, drew $4,000, so that a large
saving was effected there. Mr.. Car
Isle, who. as attorney for the board,
will perform the legal duties which de
volved upon Mr.. Butterworth, is TO get
salary of $4,000 per annnm, an in
crease of 5000 over his present salary.
