The befaulter's Whereabouts Revealed
After Being In Hiding Seven y.arx

fhc Befaulter's Whereabouts Revealed
Alter Being in Hiding Seven Years.
ST Louis, Mo-, Oct. Dion July %.
lSS6, Almon B. Thomson. cashier of
the PrOvident Savings bank. of this
city, after embezzling Sos, 600 for
which he was to account the following
day, robbed the safe of $4,000 and
fled to Canada. For seven years he
has been as thoroughly lost to the
public as though in his grave. Thorn
sons wife and two daughters shortly
disappeared in like manner.
The bank went to pieces, but paid
ninety cents on the dollar. The Thom-
sons were forgotten until last week,
when the wife entered suit against Il
younger brother of Thomson, who had
administered the estate of their father
deceased in 1888.
On Friday last the whereabouts of
the missing Thomsons was revealed.
They were found in two bacl; rooms
OF shabby boarding house in New
York. Thomson, careworn and pre-
maturely aged, is book-keeper OF a
meager salary. The elder cir! is
writing in an insurance Office, while
the younger is belfast with linger-
ing illness and the mother an invalid.
Thompson's story of his wanderings
and suffering is pathetic. Luck de-
serted him from the moment he f,i
this city. There are no claims or
charges against him here as every
thing was righted by his father lie
says he will not return to ST Louis
where he was once on the top wave OF
the social world, but will plod on to
the grave in the fight with poverty.

A Few Very Interesting Paragraphs ON
the Railway.
Business continues to boom on the Schuvl-
kill Traction Compauy's lines. The close Of
each day shows an increase on the patronage
of the previous day.
1t is pleasing to see that there is q much
better feeling ON the part Of the people
toward the company than existed some
months ago They realize that the railway
is great convenience and source of develop
ment and there is a large increase in the
visits Of people from neighboring towns.
Recently there have been number of
inquiries for stock, which of course cannot
be had The company holds nearly all the
stock and will ultimately control all of it.
The HERALD was in error when it stated a
few days ago that ten per cent. of the stock
was held by parties outside the company.
The amount is less and what is held by
outsiders was secured under the old regime
when it was pressed for funds. Since that
few parties have secured a few shares by
paying a nice premium, but the stock has
never been put ON the market.
The summer cars have been put on the
road again and serve as an incentive for
increased patronage as many people who take
rides down the valley for pleasure would not
ride in the closed cars. A number of new
cars are in course of construction and will be
put in use shortly. Several new hands are
being drilled to take charge Of them.
