MAY lose NEARLY ALL
Dark Outlook for Will
mantle Bank Depositors.

100000 in Addition Wiped Out
Stockholders Are Not Wealthy Men
and Rislcy's Bondsmcn May Es-
cape by Time Limitation.
Willimantic, Conn, April 27.-The
depositors in the First National bank of
Willimantic will probably lose the
greater part of the money which they
put into the bank. The amount of the
late Cashier Risley defalcation is not yet
known, but more than 5000 600 deficit
has already been discovered.
Many For2eries.
A Hartford trust company sent out
yesterday $4,000 in notes which it had
rediscounted for Risley and wanted them
examined. 1t was found that more than
$50, 600 of the paper bore forged sigma
lures. Bank Examiners Dooley and
Lynch think they have discovered all the
forged notes, but are in doubt about one
of So, 900. They refuse to give the names
signed to the notes. No record of the
manner in which the notes were redis-
counted could be found.
All Wiped Out.
The directors had no suspicious that
into other hands, and the arrival of the
notes put an end to all talk of opening
the bank again The capital stock of the
institution is S10O, 600, and its surplus
fund was 5000. This and probably
more than $1,000 in addition has been
completely wiped out
Stockholders Not Wealthy Men.
The stockholders are, of course, liable
for an assessment of 100 per cent. but
most of them are comparatively poor
men, who will be unable to pay more
than 30 per cent of the amount assessed
The payment of the assessment will leave
many in absolute poverty,
What Became OF the Money?
Risley certainly did not spend the
money on himself. His board cost him
50 week, and he kept n pair of fast
horses which cost him $25 month. He
drank and smoked, but not to excess, and
had not been away from Willimantic for
two weeks altogether during the last two
years, when all the irregularities took
place His salary was So, 800 year and
it was supposed he lived on 50, 900, as he
was rather penurious. 1t is not proba-
BILE that he speculated in stocks.
Bondsmen Cannot BE Held
On account of the time limitation, 1t
is probable that the men who went ON
Cashier Risley's bond many years ago
cannot be held. A report that Risley
committed suicide is to be investigated
by Hartford company in which he was
insured.

NICARACUA'S PROTEST
Statement Issued by Presi-

Upon Sympathy-England He Says,
Is Collecting by Force Money Not
Due Her-ERorts To Keep the Pop
ulace in Restraint.
Managua Nicaragua, April 29.-The
following has been issued by President
Lelaya' Nicaragua protests before all
nations against the outrage which Great
Britain inhicts upon her by military oc-
cupation of the port of Corinto in order
to seize from her by force a sum of money
which is not owed, In absolute disregard
OF international laws and of the dictates
Of right, justice and equity. Nicaragua,
although counting upon the sympathy
of all, as she is powerless to oppose the
aggressor, is ready to submit the case
without fear, bewailing her smallness
and weakness. ZELAYA.
London, April 29-Advices received
here from Nicaragua state that the ex-
oitement throughout Nicaragua in
creases Great disappointment is ex
pressed at the failure of the United States
to secure some modification of Great
Britain's terms. While the conservative
course pursued by the Washington gov
ernment was fully expected by President
Zelaya and his cabinet, in view of the in
formation furnished to them by the
Nioaraguan minister at Washington, the
people generally believed that the United
States would interfere.
The Nicaraguan government is exert
ing itself to restrain the populace No
indication has yet been given of an i'm
mediate intention to pay the indemnity,
although the continued occupation of
Corinto must sooner or later prove very
embarrassing to Nicaragua. Mr.. Bayard's
request for a brief respite in order that
Nicaragua might pay the indemnity in
London, it Is stated here, was refused by
Lord Kimberley. Had this respite been
granted, Nicaragua would have bor
rowed the money in New York to settle
the British demand.
Washington, April 20.-The situation
In Corinto remains unchanged. DIR.
Guzman, the NiCaraguan minister, this
morning in reply to cable dispatch ask
ing for specific information as to the
position of affairs, received from Manuel
Mutus secretary of foreign affairs, an
official dispatch stating that the British
were still in control of the city.
The British flag was flying over the
has been Withdrawn from all public
places All the national authorities have
deserted the town and Corinto at
present Is practically British posses
sion. The dispatch contained no further
particulars which leads DIR. Guzman to
believe that all is quiet in the republic.

Little More Than a Morass.

A large part of the valley is little more
than morass with timbers and uprooted
trees protruding from the mud. The sol
diers who are looking for bodies make
only slow progress, as the work of digging
in the debris is necessarily slow Much
damage was done in the villages at some
distance from the dam. As the flood
swept down the valley it gathered an i'm
mense quantity of timber and tree trunks,
which were thrown against the buildings
III the lower neighborhoods.
Burying Cattle and Sheep.
Fifty thousand persons visited the
scenes of desolation yesterday. The little
Aviere brook, which ordinarily is but
seven feet wide, has been converted into
lake mile and Il half broad. Soldiers
and workingmen from the department
of roads are burying cattle and sheep as
rapidly as possible to prevent disease
Hundreds of carcases have been put un-
der ground. The masonry on the BouZy
dam was begun in 1870 and finished in
1854 1t was strengthened in 1880. The
dam was 800 yards long, 66 feet high,

HOW sPooLS IRE MADE

Considering that there are millions
of people who use thread more or
less, it is apparent that the making of
spools upon which it is wound must
be of itself quite an industry. These
are made of hard wood, birch being
preferred and generally used.
The material is first sawed into
sticks four or five feet long, and seven
eighths of an inch to three inches
square, according to the size of the
spool to be produced. The sticks
are thoroughly seasoned, then cut
into short blocks and dried in hot
air kiln. AT the time they are being
cut by the saw, holes are bored per-
pendicularly through each block,
which is set on end under a rapidly
revolving long shanked anger.
Next, one whirl of each little block
against some little knives that are
turning at lightning speed, fashion it
into spool according to the pattern
desired, and that, too, at the rate of
one a second for each set of knives.
\ row of small boys feed the spool
making machines by simply placing
the blocks III Il spout, selecting the
best, and throwing out the knotty
and defective stock.
The machine is automatic, but there
are some things which it cannot do,
hence the employment of the small
boys above mentioned.
After the spools are turned they are
placed in q large drum and revolved
rapidly until they have taken on a
fine polish. For some special pur-
poses, they are died yellow, black or
red, according to taste. When one
sees spool of thread marked 200"
or "300'' yards, it does not signify that
the thread has been measured,
but that the. spool has been guaged,
and is supposed to contain that
amount of thread.
