A Bomb for Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 23.-
Cashier j. R. Holland, of the Mer.
chants and Farmers Bank Of Char
lotte, is defaulter to the amount Of
$50, 900 or more.
Bank Examiner Miller has been here
for several days and says he will re-
main for at least two weeks longer.
It was he who discovered the delalca-
tion. Mr.. Hollands populations have
been carried on for eight years past
and he has managed till the last few
days to hide them from discovery.
The exact amount of them is not yet
fully known.
No man in Charlotte has in the past
been held in higher regard or been
more fully trusted than Mr.. Holland,
and the whole city was greatly sur
prised and shocked to hear Of his en-
bezzlement. He has not yet been
placed under arrest at the request.o Of
the directors of the bank, he agreeing
to waive all examination in case pro-
ceedings are begun against him. He
has never made the slightest effort to
escape.
Week before last Bank Examiner
Miller stopped at Gastonia on his way
to Charlotte. He examined the Ma
tional Bank there thoroughly, and
knew every bank with which it had an
account or money loaned. He found
that bank in good condition and came
on to Charlotte, The first day he
spent at the Merchants and Farmers
Bank he discovered on looking over
Cashier Hollands books, where he
had a loan of $4,000 marked to the
Gastonia bank. He called Mr.. Hol-
land up and asked if that was correct.
He said yes. Mr.. Miller made a men
tai note of the fact. He next pro-
ceeded to look over the cash. He
found it short just one dollar. That
was easily accounted for and paid in.
That night Mr.. Miller left. No one
asked where he was going, it being
supposed that he was through his ex-
aminations and had gone elsewhere on
the same errand. He had gone, but
only to return. He took the 10:40
train for Gastonia, rung Mr.. jenkins,
the president of the bank, up and told
him he wanted to look over his books
again. Mr.. jenkins wondered what
was up, but said little. He and Mr..
Miller spent the night going through
the books. No loan Of $4,000 to the
Merchants and Farmers Bank was
found. Mr.. Miller said: "You have
loaned the Merchants and Farmers
Bank, of Charlotte, $4,000, of which
there is no record" "No," said Jen-
kins, II have not
That was the beginning Of the end.
Mr.. Miller said nothing more, but
came back to Charlotte the next day.
He appeared at the Merchants and
Farmers Bank, and said to Mr.. Hol-
land that he might have made mis-
take in counting the cash the day be-
fore, and believed he would count it
again. Instead of finding it only 81
short, he found it $4,000.
Mr.. Holland, as was his custom, had
borrowed $4,000 to put to his cash
while the examiner was here, but
thinking he had finished and departed
and that he was safe, at least for
another year, he withdrew the SIG, 900
and returned it to the party from
whom borrowed. Seeing that all was
lost he confessed to President McAden
that he was a defaulter and the sad
story of his fall became known. The
Merchants and Farmers Bank is per-
fectly safe, having a sufficient reserve
fund TO cover all losses.

DurlnS Cue laSG year uuuSual uIo-
turbanccs and appearances in the
heavenly bodies have been noted by
scientists, as if they were somewhat
affected by the attractive force of an
other body not regularly acting upon
them. More meteoric showers have
been reported in the Southern part of
the world than usual, and storms OF
great destructiveness have swept over
the whole globe. The GOODNESS Of the
present winter is attributed by astron-
omers to the influence Of the planets,
and whenever q comet has approached
the earth in the past unusual weather
has prevailed beforehand as if to an
nounce it's coming. Moreover, the
powerful telescopes now ueed for scan
ming the heavens reveal an unusual
number of eclipses, as if the distur-
bance had caused some Of the lesser
bodies to travel a little out of their
courses. The wonderful variable star
Algol in Peresus, for instance, has
constantly of late undergone great
changes. A dark body almost as large
as Algol has several times blotted out
it's existence from our view. The ap-
pearance of this huge black object is a
mystery to astronomers Of to-day.
Then the SHOWS of Mars which have
so long been visible to powerful tele-
scopes have gradually disappeared.
Early last October it was reported that
the polar snow cap of Mars had entire
ly disappeared. No such rapid and
unexplained disappearance of the snow
on the earth or on Mars has ever before
been reported. Jupiter in its recent
appearance has been more brilliantly
belted than ever before, and as it rises
it displays an unwonted profusion of
color. Venus has been shrouded in
more or less of showers Of meteors so
that its face could not be seen dis

Pasadena, Feb 22.-The smooth conf
dence worker who did up so many Pasa-
dena people under the name OF Fairbank,
and whose transactions were given pub
licity for the first time through the col
umns of The Herald, is evidently more of
a high roller than was at first thought.
1t now appears that his transactions were
not confined to this city, but that in Los
Angeles he succeeded in doing up more
people than in this place.
The most prominent victim in Los An
geles SO far heard from is ]. H. f. Peck.
who was defrauded out of 5000 by the
sharp work of Fairbank. 1t was thought
from his acquaintance with Mr. Peck that
Fairbank was able to fleece number of
Pasadena people who knew Mr.. Peck, and
supposed the fellow to be all right. In
addition to the amounts spoken OF in
yesterdays correspondence, the fellow
passed bogus checks on A. A. Chubb for

Clarke, $50. There are doubtless many

CHARTER ELECTION.
The New Charter Not Satisfactory and Will Be
Knocked Out

Pasadena, Feb. 22.-Tomorrow the
voters OF Pasadena will be called upon to
decide whether they think the new city
chatrer is good enough to accept as a
foundation for our city government
From present appearances there is no
doubt that the charter will be consigned
to the waste basket, leaving the city to
struggle as best it may under the present
system, until relief is afforded from an
,other direction,
number OF lawyers have examined and
reported upon the document submitted by
the board of fifteen freeholders, and in
each case the report has been adverse.
The charter has been found not only to
be deficient in that it Omits many i'm
portant features but its general construc-
ton is so faulty as to render it of but lit
tie value. All agree that the proposed
measure is not in any manner suited to
the needs of a growing city, such as Pasa-
dena is at the present time, to say nothing
of the future. The Council at one time
seriously considered the matter of allow
ing the charter to rest until the regular
city election two years from this spring,
but it was decided that the law made tn
matter of calling an election compulsory,
1t is unfortunate that the charter is no
good as the city is in need of a new one
very badly. The board OF freehOlder
method" is, however, not success and
it is likely that the present Legislature
will repeal the law.
:, No attempt will be made to submit an
other charter to the people under the
present law, but at the next session of the
Legislature amendments will likely be
made to the present charter which will
cover the necessary ground. The polling
places for the election tomorrow are as
follows:
Precinct AT the office of the Pasadena
