How Ruin Came to Joseph w.
Mabee, of TarrytOWn.
he WAS A TRUSTED BANK CLERK
His Defalcation of $4,000 Made Good
by Himself and His Friends.

The state Bank Examiners Discovered the
Shortage in Recent Research of the
Books--He viii Not be Prosecuted
Depositors Threaten IA Run ON the Bank
The Money Lost in LuclSIess speouIa-
tions.
TARRYTowN, N. Y, Jan. Alt was
made public yesterday that Joseph w.
Mabee, a trusted clerk of the Westches-
ter County Savings Bank of Tarrytown,
was a defaulter.
Mabee was one of the most prominent
citizens of Tarrytown, village trustee,
and Que of the trustees of the Asbury
M. E. Church. He had been in the en-
ploy of the bank a great many years.
and had the implicit confidence of all
the trustees.
A week ago the State Board of Bank
Examiners visited the bank and exam
ined the books. They found a number
of discrepancies in the ledger showing
defalcatfon.
When President Ferris ordered Mabee
to assist the examiners he broke down
and confessed that ne was a defaulter,
telling how he took the money and falsi-
ned the books.
He said that his peculations had been
going on from 1876 to 1888 and he was
willing to sacrifice everything he had to
the bank to make restitution and begged
him not to expose him to the people of
Tarrytown.
President Ferris promised this and on
Monday the directors of the bank, Mabee
and some friends held "a closeted meeting
which resulted in Mabee deciding to the
bank his home, while some of his friends
made up the balance of the shortage
which amounted during the twelve years
to 50, 45L31. When he paid the money
over to the directors he handed over his
resignation which was accepted
The board allowed him to go to his
home without being arrested. The bank
officials will not prosecute Mabee.
Alabee said to reporter yesterday that
he overdrew his account at the bank and
used the money in unsuccessful specula-
tions in Wall street. Hid said that he in
tended to pay the money back to the
bank very soon.
When the bank opened yesterday
morning many depositors were on hand
and 1t was soon circulated through the
village that there was a run On the bank
People who had money on deposit in the
bank began to flock there, and when the
bank closed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
81, coo had been withdrawn. The officials
are not alarmed as to any serious trouble
from run.

SELECTIONS FROM THE WRITINGS

Coville Doubts the Carpenters Figures
About the shingles, and Undertakes to
Find Out for Himseif-He Doesn't
Make Out Very Well.
copyrighted by Lee g. shepard, Boston, and
published by special arrangement with them.l
There are men who dispute what they
do neg understand Mr.. Coville is such
a man When he heard a carpenter say
that there were so many shingles on the
roof,of his house, because the roof con-
tained so many square feet, Colville
doubted the figures, and when the car
penter went away he determined to test
the matter by going up on the roof and
counting them AID he went up there
He squeezed through the scuttle-Col-
vile weighs 330--and then sat down on
the roof and worked his way carefully
and deliberately toward the gutter.
When he got part way down he heard a
sound between him and the shingles,
aud became aware that there was au in
reference some way in his further loco
motion He tried to turn over and crawl
back, but the obstruction held him
Then he tried to move along little in
hopes that the trouble would prove but
temporary, but an increased sound con
vinced him that either a nail or silver
had hold of his cloth, and that if he
would save any of it he must use caution.
His folks were in the house, but he could
not make them hear, and besides, he
didn't want to attract the attention of
the neighbors, So he sat there until
after dark and thought. 1t would have
been an excellent opportunity to have
counted the shingles, but he neglected
to use it, His mind appeared to run in,
to other channels He sat there an houl
after dark, seeing no one he could notify
of his position.
Then he saw two boys approach the
gate from the house and, reaching there,
stop. 1t was light enough for him to see
that one Of the two was his son, and al.

and Princess of Wales are described as
nearly prostrated by the serious illness
of their SON. The Princess May tries to
bear up bravely, but she, too is nearly
broken down by the spectacle of her
royal lovers condition. The intimate
friends of the royal family are said to

Prince is Slightly improved,

though he objected to having the other
boy know of his misfortune, yet he had
grown tired Of holding onto the roof,
and concluded he could bribe the strange
boy into silence. With this arrange.
ment mapped out he took out his knife
and threw it so that it would strike neal
to the boys and attract their attention
1t struck nearer than he anticipates in
fact 1t struck so close as to hit the strange
boy on the head and nearly brain him
AS soon as the boy recovered his euui
librium he turned on Covilles boy, who,
he was confident, had attempted to kill
him, and introduced soae astonishment
and bruises into his face. Then he threw
him down, and kicked him in the side
and banged him on the head, and drew
him over into the gutter, and pounded
his legs, and then hauled him back t.
. the walk again, and knocked his head
against the gate And all the while the
elder Coville sat on the roof and
screamed for the police, but couldn't get
away. -
And then Mrs. Coville dashed out with
a broom and contributed a few novel
features to the affair at the gate, and
one of the boarders dashed out with
double barreled gun, and. hearing the
'cries from the roof, looked up there, and,
espying figure which was undoubtedly
burglar, drove handful of shot int
its legs. With howl of agony CoviIle |
made a plunge to dodge the missiles,
freed himself from the nail lost his hold
on the roof and went sailing down the
shingles with awful velocity, both legs /
spread out, his hair on end and his |
hands making desperate but fruitless
efforts to save himself He tried to |
swear, but was so frightened that he
lost his power Of speech, and when he
passed over the edge Of the roof with
twenty feet of tin gutter hitchOd to him,
the boarder gave him the contents of the
other barrel and then doveinto the house
to load up again.
The unfortunate Coville struck into a
cherry tree and thence bounded to the
ground, where he was recognized, picked |
up by the assembled neighbors and car
ried into the house A new doctor is
making good day wages picking the shot
out of his legs The boarder has gone
into the country TO spend the summer,
and the junior Coville, having seques-
tered piece of brick in his handker-
chief, is lying low for that other boy

KICKING ON THE TRAINS.

Poolerites Object TO the New
Schedule.
Much comment was made by regular
passengers on the Central railroad yester-
day in regard to the change of schedule
which goes into effect to-day. Heretofore
there has been no dissatisfaction In that
respect, as everybody seemed pleased with
the way the trains were run. Patrons OF
the road living between Savannah and
Guyton will be compelled TO remain in the
city all night if they miss the shoofy
at Cos o'clock p. m, notwithsi anding the
fact that a later train 1885 o'clock p. m.)
leaves here, and stops at Guyton.
There are quite number of persons liv-
ing along the line, especially at Pooler. who
find it almost impossible to catch the shoo-
fly now, and it will Inconvenience them
considerably If they are forced to remain
over night In the city. Travel to the Cen
trails near stations is rapidly growing and
every inducement should be given by the
road to have new people locate, instead OF
running them off.
Every passenger train going east or west
should stop at regular stations to take up
and put off passengers. The fact that Pooler
Is as large as 1t now is is due to the number
of trains passing to and from the city. Gen.
Supt' Wadley. no doubt, will interest him
self In this matter, and satisfy any reason
able demands that are proposed by the
regular patrons of the Central.
