A Gigantic Swindle.
Grain Elevator Employees Defraud IL
New England Banks Out of $780,
900.

Grain Elevator Employees Defraud IL
New England Banks Out OF $780,
900.
1t is said that some II New England
banks and banking institutions have been
vctimized by employees of the Northern
Pacific grain elevator company of Mime
sofa. These men, it is alleged, issued ST.
500,0 900 of duplicates of elevator certi-
ficates deposited in the banks as collateral.
About $500, 900 has been secured in New
England, and the balance was obtained
from New York banks. The Northern
Pacific elevator company, which, as cor
poraton, was entirely distinct from the
Northern Pacific railway company, control
led nearly 200 elevators, scattered along the
line of the railroad, in locations convenient
for the farmers. The rigid system OF
supervision provided by the laws of Min
nesota over grain in terminal elevators
had not been exercised over the contents
of the country elevators, as they are called,
and it seems that the certificates taken as
security by the swindled banks were for
grain held in these country elevators.
When attention had been called to this
laxity of state supervision and the holders
of elevator papers began little lnVestlga-
ton, Lley were uullDlOullutu W lC1lh thpo
the grain pledged to the Eastern banks had
also been certifcated to other parties,
who had obtained possession of it. In
other words, the certificates had been dup
Heated and thR. grain obtained, while the
banks were LETT without bushel of grain
as security and with nothing but pieces of
paper for their good money. The stock
holdtrs of the elevator company, who are
| nearly all eastern capitalists, were also
astonished at this revelation, and offers OF
settlement with the banks were at once
made and terms of compromise offered.
1t is impossible to say exactly what course
the bankers will pursue. The Northern
Pacific elevator company is now in the
hands of a receiver and the frauds of its
employees have wiped out its existence;
Among the New England banks swindled
are nearly all the Boston State street
institutions, banks at Portland, Me-, and
various banks in the towns about Boston
Later-The managers of the elevator
company deny the story in every detail
and saw that its only foundation is the fact
that plan for the reorganization OF the
| company is under consideration.

The story Of the piece pivots on the
helpless maneuyeriugs OF well inten-
toned old fellow, who is bursting with
reform notions. Tho immoral drift OF
the world at large and hid own little
world in particular keeps him in q fer
ment Of unrest which leads TO great
many humorous complications. Mr..
Hart appears in the role OF IN eccentric
Pennsylvanian, and is the humorous
victim OF every tangling circumstance.
Mr.. Hallen's part is that OF an ultra-fash-
ionable sprig. whose years OF discretion
would not mako much OF sum in
arithmetic and whose most serious
thoughts OF life are concentrated upon
clothes and the gentler sex.
In the company are, besides the prin-
cipals, John McWade, Molly Fuller,

Wilson, Donald Harold, Emma sey-
mour, Alice earle, Adelaide Crawford,
