REDWINE RAN AWAY,
And With Him $4,000 of the
Money of an Atlanta
Bank.
He Walked Out of the Bank Bare
headed and Has Not Been
Seen Since.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 22.-The disap-
pearance and defalcation of Assistant
Cashier Redwine, of the Gate City Ma
tional bank. of this city. is the biggest
financial sensation Atlanta has known
for years. This morning thorough
examination of the banks affairs
was made by officers of the clear
ing house association, and they
reported the defalcation was about
$4,000, certainly not more than that.
They also say that Redwine must have
taken the bulk of it in the past few
weeks. and that he probably left with
$4,000 or $4,000 on his person.
The clearing house officers declare that
the Gate City National bank can
pay depositors every cent and can
pay stockholders in full. The greatest
mystery about the affair is Redwine's
disappearance. Up to this time abso-
lutely no trace has been found of his
whereabouts. He walked out of the
bank bareheaded, borrowed hat from
friend in the basement of the bank
building, and nothing has been
seen of him since. Whether he is
III hiding in the city or whether he
fastened to catch an outbound train
nobody knows. The bank is only half
block from the union depot, and the
latter theory seems most probable. 1t
is believed that he has gone West.
Redwine has evidently been living
beyond his means for years. He has
been one of the most prominent mem
bers of the Capital City club, and it is
believed that he has some of the funds
of the club, the proceeds of a
recent bond sale. The bank Off
cials believe that Redwine has been be-
hind for several years. but in a
small amount. His position enabled
him to cover up the shortages so that
they never were discovered. A week
ago bank examiner was here.
and Redwine, to cover his shortages,
drew on other banks for a total of
S25,U00. President Hill learned this day
before yesterday for the first time.
Redwine. it appears, suspected that he
had been discovered and took fifty
to sixty thousand dollars with him in
his flight

House EILa NO. aa7.

House File "a, regulating the ware
housing and handling of grain in ele-

back to the grain and warehouse COM

Gov. NELSON wished to advise in the
preparation of bill OH that subject.
H. f. 337 is the substitute, and it is said
to have been prepared by the governor.
Mr.. NELSON met the attack of the DEM

Fracas at a Ball.

A McGlnty social was held at Market
hall last night under the management
of Lew Cornlck. AS tough a crowd as
usual attended the affair, and before
midnight the police ordered the bar
closed. About l o'clock young
man, who gave his name as
William Johns, started a row with
Jack Flynn. He found out few
moments later that he had tackled the
wrong man, for Flynn gave him one fall
and the police had to carry him to the

who refused to give her name, but who
spotted gold medal as big as pie

rested. Flynn was charged with dis
orderly conduct, as was Johns, who, the
doctor said, had a sprained ankle.

Ten Western Union Operators Dis
charged Without Notice.
There is small row on between the
Western Union Telegraph company
and its force of operators. Yesterday
ten operators were discharged without
a minutes notice and without the as
signment OF any reasons. Supt. Nc
Michael went to Sioux City Oh Tuesday
night, and before going left orders to
discharge the ten men, so it is impossi-
BILE to obtain his reasons. Some time
ago a notice was posted in the operat-
ing room to the effect that any operator
who was caught in pool room Of the
city would be instantly discharged. and
at first this was supposed to have been
the cause, but subsequently it was
learned that at least three of the dis
charged men had not been playing the
horses" so some other cause has been
assigned. A meeting of the union has
been called to consider the matter, as it
is agreed that membership i'll the union
must have been the reason for the dis
charge, and it is possible that strike
may result.

kETAL1AToRY MEASURES.

Sometimes retaliat0ry measures are a
good thing. The measure or the presl-
dent by which the Canadian vessels
were compelled to pay tolls in the 500
canal has worked the desired result.
Last summer the Canadians began Sc
rieS of Determinations against Ameri-
can vessels in the canals of the DOmin-
ion, and there seemed to be but one
feasible way Of dealing with them, and
that was to establish tolls in the 500.
The Dominion government has seen the
point. aud concluded to treat American
ships squarely. The Dominion govern
ment has just adopted an order in cOun-
ell removing the diScri mutations against
our ships, and President HARRISON
Immediately issued proclamation re-
moving The tolls in the 500. 1t would.
no doubt, be q good thing for our
lake shipping interests if Our vessels
could reach the Atlantic through waters
in our own land. The scheme to build
canal from the lakes to the Hudson
river is declared by prominent engineers
to be feasible. II it could be done with
out enormous expense, it should be
built We would then be independent
of the caprices of the Dominion. The
determinations in the Canadian canals
were inaugurated when there was no
conflict between the two countries; so
that the course that might be pursued
in case of trouble between them can be
estimated. OF course, if there is fair
nrOcppnt Of Canadian annexation in the
near future, it would be unWise to put
through the Hudson canal project until
it became pretty certain that the union
is not possible.
