RINGHAMT0N'S BANKS.
Another One Closed by State In
spector Backus.
CASHIER MORGAN A DEFAUITER.

The Amount Missing Is Not Known Yet,
but Irregularities Have Existed For Thir-
~ years--Heavy Runs on other Savings
Banks Met by Cash From New York.
BINaHAMToN, N. r, Jan. 25.-The an
nounoement Of the defalcation Of Cash
Ter Tracy r. Morgan Of the Chenango
Valley Savings baplS has created much ex-
element He has been mayor Of the city,
and during his 80 years residence here
has been looked upon as an upright citi-
zen. He is about 70 years old, and though
he has been q close attendant to business
his bodily vigor is unimpaired.
Philo H. Backus, the bank examiner,
had been in tho city but one day when he
discovered that something was wrong at
the Chenango Valley bank. He entered
the bank on Wednesday morning and al
noon had discovered sufficient evidence to
warrant him ia charging Morgan with
being defaulter
He found that during the past 30 years
a correct trial balance had never been
taken In that bank and that the cash re.
fused to balance almost invariably. In
spite of the fact that tho number Of the
bank $ depositors had increased daily, the
amount on deposit had declined, showing
that something was wrong.
Mr. Backus told reporter that he had
no idoa how much had been taken. and
that he would not be able to tell until he
had posted up the books, called in 1000
passbooks, and, as he expressed it, :" dis
covered whore we are at. =
Run on other Banks.
There has been heavy run on the Other
savings banks in the city all day, but
money is coming in on every train, and
the New York banks say they will put

the depository Of the oity and county
funds. The city had on deposit sl0i, 036. 50

SOMEWHAT REMINISCENT.

The slowness with which old preju-
dices disappear is shown by the fact
that a negro is now for the first time
serving on a jury in Madison county,
this State, and that the event is deemed
worthy of notice in the local papers.

Circuit Court marks another epoch in

have been marked before now. There

in Madison county who possess the quail
ifications for jury service and whose
citizenship should have been recognized
long ago. OF the one who is now serv-
ing the Bulletin saws that from a per-

has been no lowering Of the standard by
placing him in the box, as she is far

sponsible position before
The incident recalls the fact that it
was at Pendleton, in Madison county,
that the late Hon. Frederick Douglass
was mobbed in 1S43 and had to fight
his way through a crowd of assailants
with club. This, however, was not an
exceptional incident for that period. for
only a few days before Mr. Douglass
was mobbed at Pendleton he had been
mobbed at Richmond, Ind. He mentions
both occurrences on the same page of
his autobiography. They happened dur
ing a speaking tour which he and some
other anti-slavery leaders were making
in the West. From Ohio" says Mr.
Douglass, I'VE. divided our forces and
went into Indiana At our first meeting
we were mobbed, and some of us had

The Hammond Tribune says that a ma
chinsst of that place, Mr.. Charles Luth-
man, has discovered and perfected the
long-lost art of welding copper. This is one
of the mechanical arts which was known
to the ancients, but which has hitherto
baffied modern ingenuity. 1t is claimed
that the Luthman process will revolutionize
the manufacture of copper pipe for in
breweries, distilleries and all establish
ments where copper pipes are now used,
and in which short sections are joined by
a thread union. Wires or rods, after being
subjected to either butt or lap YIELDS, can
be either drawn or hammered, giving as per-
feet result at the weld as at any other
points in the metal When subjected TO
either tensile or torsional tests the Luth-
man weld withstood great strain as
any other portion of the metal tested,
showing that union of the pieces was per-
feet The discoverer has been offered a
large sum for his process, and two or three
wealthy Chicago syndicates are trying to
get control of it.

OF course there is no profit in carrying
a single shipment of 81 900 at the rate paid

The profit is in handling very large sums

from Washington to New York, sn 1859.
1t was in bills of very large denomination,
which were contained III two wooden boxes.
Though a special guard went with this
shipment the expense of the haul was
not much greater than if the boxes had
held 81 600 each. And for this work the
express company received $3.50. This was
