An Alleged Defalcation of $24, 900.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-While Treas
urer Morgan is non-committal on the
report that a ~defalcation exists in the
mint at New Orleans, it is learned that
the Treasury Department discovered
the shortage in the funds in the mint
June 26th. and that a searching inves-
tigation has shown that the recent fire
there was of incendiary character,
started for the purpose of covering up
the robbery. Aspecial to the New York
World, this morning, says: James
Bowling, cashier of the mint, will have
the matter to explain. At the time of
the fire there was supposed to be $685.
900 in paper money in a box in the
vault, and the fire started among the
bills. Cashier Bowling said that an
oil lamp had been misplaced from its
socket by an explosion of an incandes-
cent globe in the vault and had fallen
into a tin box. Two government ex-
perts were sent from Washington to
investigate and Bowling was Swallowed
by detectives. The amount of the de-
felt is $24 900. 1t is charged in some
quarters that instead of their being
$25, 600 in the vaults at the time of the
fire, but q small amount was stored in
the box.

as frequently c in the excitement
surrounding q fatal mystery OF this
kind, which was heightened by the fact
that pistol shooting had been heard on
the lake just previous to the time OF the
catastrophe. But careful inquiry has
developed the fact that the shooting
was done by fishermen on the lake shore
both before and after the drowning, and
at a time when it can be clearly proven
that the young people were in an entire
ly different part of the lake. The young
people were on the best OF terms from
long association, and went to their last
excursion in the best of spirits. From
the fact that one of the oars was found
beneath the seat under the capsized
boat, it is quite evident that the two
voyagers had attempted to change seats
and IN passing each other had upset the
