4 SERIOUS CHARGE.
Huntington Confronted With
Grave Accusations.
USED STOCK OWNED BY STANFORD.

It Is Also stated That the stock Was
Never Reported to the stanford rs
tate-The Amount Involved Runs Up
Into The Millions May Lose control
of Texas Roads.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE Exam
iner prints dispatch from New York
stating that it is rumored in Wall
street that on account of the trouble
between Mrs. Leland Stanford and G
?. Huntington there was some question
as to the lattev's ability to control the
Galveston, Houston and Texas railroad
and other lines in which Stanford is
said to have held larae interests with
Huntington. According to the story,
Mrs. Stanford discovered that Hunting
ton withheld from her knowledge large
blocks of securities held by himself and
Stanford in common and that there is a
possibility of suit against Hunting
ton for over 81 600, 600 The Examiner
II local article says the story is sub
stantially correct.
Judge Si-sneef, Mrs. Stanford's at
torney, who is reported 10 have written
sharp letters to Huntington, demand
ing an accounting, when asked about
the story, said: ii must decline to be
interviewed on that subject If Mr..
Huntington wishes to talk he cando so.
He may tell as little or as much as he
pleases. He is not an attorney prac-
ticing other peoples business
Mrs. Stanford ascertained, says the
Examiner, that $500, 900 of her late hus-
bands Indebtedness to the Pacific I'm
provenent company had been paid By
whom, she did not know, as she had
not authorized such payment. Inves-
cation showed that the amount had
been made up by sale of certain rail
road securities. These securities had
not been in Mrs. Stanfosd's possession.
When it was discovered that these Sc
earities had not been included in the
inventory Of Stanford's estate, it began
to be suspected that Huntington had
sold stock to himself and was keeping
control of certain important securities.
Then it was ascertained that long
line of securities were in the same con
dition-held by Huntington, but
claimed by the Stanford estate. Then
It was that Spencer wrote to Hunting
ton and, it is understood, he intimated
that if the securities were not produced
suit would be commenced to secure
them. The appraisement of the estate
is not finished yet, though the schedule
should be filed Jan. u.

GROWING SERIOUS.
labor Troubles In the Black IsiIls AS
Stunning an Ugly Phase.

DEAnwoeD. S. d., Jan. 17.-Labor
troubles in the Black Hills are assum-
ing a serious phase The riot of last
week. when the union miners attacked
the laborers on the works of the South
Dako Mining company on Annie
creek was tie ouTgrowth of agitation
on the wage question. For many years
the lowest pay for men in the mines
and mills has been S3.5 per day. The
Homes;ake company, the largest pro-
ducer of gold in America, having grown
tired of the uncertainty which has sur
rounded the ;abor question for some
time past, decided to settle the matter
without further ceremony. The COM
pany notified the miners union that it
would REFUGE wages to So dax or en-
tirely suspend operations in MI the
mines and mills ana gave the miners a
week to decide whether they desired to
work on lower scale Or remain in idle
ness for some months TO come.
The business men of Deadwooi and
Lead City have adopted resolutions con-
demning the action of miners in as
saulting laborers last week ON Annie
creek. In retaliation the miners of
Lead City, Central City and surround
ing camps held a massmeeting in Cen
trail City. Resolutions were adopted
denouncing the Deadwood Business
Mems Protective association. The
miners present at the meeting pledged
themselves to boycott all Deadwood
business houses and do all in their
power to injure all Deadwood enter
prises and to make every effort to have
the county seat removed, either by
state authority or dynamite. The ques-
ton is becoming very threatening and
serious results are feared.

How Paying Teller Hill Robbed the

How Paying Teller Hill Robbed the
Collapsed st. Nicholas Bank
NEW York, Jan. 17.-Bank Examiner
Judson of the state banking depart
ment has discovered, after an examina-
ton of the books of the ST Nicholas
bank, the exact method by which Re-
ceiving Teller Hill robbed that institu-
ton of $40, COO The St Nicholas was
run on different system from other
New York banks, the receiving and pay
ing teller keeping individual and indie
pendent cash safes and accounts. AS
needed, from time to time, Hill would
turn over round amounts to the paying
teller, such as $4,000 or $50, geo, keeping
the balance of his cash in his own safe
He kept cashbook which he could
easily falsify to make it balance with
with his cash after taking a certain
amount from the safe. Honest returns
he would give to the paying teller to
incorporate in his accounts, and when
his department was examined his cash
would be found to balance with his
own cash book
On the final examination, after suspi-
eion was aroused, the erasures in his
own cashbook after the thefts had been
made and the entries to make it cor
respond with the paying teller's and
general cash account, were discovered
His books, however, would of course
then be correct.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
WORRIED COMMISSIONERS

The Street and Water Commissi oners held
an unusually short session this morning. The
members seem to have lost all interest in
public affairs since the complexion Of all the
other city boards has changed. Bids we re
received for the paving of Ocean avenue.
Seven contractors submitted estimates.
Henry Cunningham was the lowest bidder.
The bids were placed in the hands of the
committee. The award may be made at a
meeting to be held next Wednesday morn
ing. The Grace street sewer was accepted
as complete. Thomas Gloch was appointed
inspector Of the Duncan avenue improve
ment. John Feeney was appointed a laborer
at laying water pipes. A hearing on the
West Side avenue sewer was held. There
were no objections. The residents of
Ocean avenu petitioned the board to
have gas, water and sewer connections
mode before the avenue is improved. The
petition come too late. Eldred johnson. the
owner or the property at No. 10 York
street, adjoining No. School, who is anx-
ious to sch the property to the city for school
purposes addressed the board. He said that
the price asked Of $1,000 was not high. The
commissioners informed Mr.. Johnson that
they would consider his offer.
