y MedaI-Many People Present at
the Pleasant ARair

The farewell hop to DR.. Crandall
given by the Lei lima Club at In

one of the SWEETEST society events
of the year. An attendance of
over fifty couples showed that the
invitations of the club were very
largely accepted.
The hall was tastefully decorated
with club colors, flags and palms.
The main entrance was draped
with a Hawaiian flag and at the
entrance to the dressing room was
another bearing at its center the
design "Aloha" in ferns. Hanging
at the center of the hall was a
large basket decorated with white
and yellow flowers, the colors of
the club.
Before the dancing began, DR..

middle ofthe hall and presented by
j. M. Sims with leather medal
about three inches in diameter,
bearing upon it the words, "Pre-
sented to DR.. Percy Crandall, U. S.
NJ, by the Lei lima Club, April
25th, 1885," in gold letters. The
presentation speech was concise
and to the point, bringing out both
the good qualities and other of the
popular member. DR.. Crandall &C
knowledged the present in appropri-
ate language.
Fifteen dances and several ex-
tras were marked on the program.
The music for these was furnished
by the Quintette Club. The banjo,
guitar and mandolin music fur
nished delightful interludes.
The various committees deserve
great deal of credit for the success

ing the past week.

on missed his aim and was thrown
forcibly against the side of the car,
bruising himself quite badly.

'HALE'S DEFALCATI0NS.
Many of His Victims Will Lose Saw
! ings Of q Lifetime.
His Peculiar Method Of Do
ing Business.
Tho Burden Of The Losses Must Fall
Upon tho Town.

FoxcRoFT, Me-. April 4-The deiAlca-
tion OF Judge elias j. Hale, tho town
treasurer, who shot himself last week, is
so far as investigation up to the present
ltjpe shows, si22, 708 22. This sum Ii
lclaimed to be owed by the town on notes
given by Hale In his official capacity as
town treasurer.
His method seems to have been 10 hire
mouoy from the people ostensibly for the
towns use For this he would give notes,
apd I'm his returns to the town give credit
for Just SO much as was legally used for
sown purposes. People regarded 1t as
safe Investment and since these loans
were exempt from taxation, many were
willing to invest In this way.
Halo cautioned them again telling any
one OF the loans, and then quietly used
the money, paying per cent interest.
They recorded "a large amount each year
which was met by new loans. These loans
vary in amount from SD to Sl2, 00O
Many People Impoverished.
A curious circumstance is the fact that
tho sworn statement in the report Mt the
last town meeting was 60 the effect that
the total debt OF the town was only S572i 25,
while some OF the prominent business men
of tho town knew nj the time that they
individually held notes for much larger
sums. Some OF the parties who held the
notes are people of means, but in great
many cases these notes represent the en-
tire savings Of n lifetime.
1t Is claimed by some that the town Is
not liable for these notes because Hale
was acting illegally, without tonds. Henry
Hudson, Esq. OF Guildford has been TO.
tanned by the town, and tho matter will
probably go TO the courts. This burden OF
nearly $l23, 600 falls upon the town, which
contains but 5000 inhabitants, and it can
not fail to cause great depression in
business.
In any case the loans are so widely scat.
tered that it will be a serious blow to the
people. When the news Of the defalca-
.tions were first made public after the
funeral, business was practically sus.
Rended and the greatest excitement pre-
