CARLISLE is UNDAUNTED,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Carlisle

LEARNED AT ABERDEEN.
The Banks OF That City Are Not
Caught.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Jan 9.-From abso-
Iutely reliable sources it is learned that
the defalcation of State Treasurer w.
W. Taylor will reach quite $300.00O,
practically all the state moneys i'll his
hands, except some $4,000 or S50000 on
deposit in various banks. The wreck
is complete. 1t has been known for a
year that Mr.. Taylor personally had
been in bad straits, but not one of his
most intimate friends thought his situa-
ton hopeless or even desperate. They
knew he had been advancing and in
Vesting money recklessly for the times.
yet they never dreamed the truth.
When officials make an investigation of
the treasurer's office they will be simply
appalled, at the condition of affairs.
Fortunately, SO far as Aberdeen is
concerned, the affair will in no way af-
feet either of the local banks. The
books show that no state funds have
been on deposit in either the Aberdeen

->.....s, aha "a. no time during the past
year has the deposit in either of them
been considerable at any one time.

NO BILL GAN PASS.
This Seems to Be the Prevailing
Opinion Regarding Currency.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Representa-
tive Bland, the exponent of the silver
element of the house who aided in the
defeat of the bill, said: "The vote un-
doubtedly means Inc Abandonment of
all hope to pass the Carlisle Dill IN Us
present form. But it is too soon 10 say
that it ends the possibility of any legis-
lation by this congress. AS long as the
effort is made to give monopoly to
national banks and exclude silver the
plan will be fought. There may yet be
time to frame a measure adequate for
the present situation, but it is certain
that any such measure will give proper
recognition to silyer."
The views of Mr.. Bland and his asso-
eiates led many members to believe that
the reverse of today might yet be turned
into victory by making concessions TO
the silver men. Their votes would be

ANOTHER KILLING.
Fatal Quarrel Between Two Farmers-The
Older Kills the Younger.

A most deplorable quarrel has for
some time existed between Captain
James williams and William Chapman,
both Of Jackson township. On We'd
nesday the two men had an encounter
and Williams shot and almostly in
stantly killed Chapman. Willfacs is a
man of So years, and Chapman about
SO. Immediately after the shooting
Williams surrendered himself to Squire
Atkinson, who committed him to the
custody of the township constable, and
he was brought to Wilkes-Barre yes
terday and confined in the county Jail.
williams claims that he acted in self
defense, that Chapman n first struck him
on the head with a stone, then jumped
upon him and tried to strangle him.
Williams then drew a revolver and fired
one shot into his adversary's abdomen,
which speedily proved fatal. In sup
port of this story Williams shows a
bad-looking wound on his head and he
claims he was struck with a stone by
Chapman. The case is a most deplora-
BILE one.

month ago three boys employed at the
mine were discharged, all for apparent
ly good reasons. On Wednesday night
the other boys employed at the mine
went to the mine foreman and demand
ed the reinstatement of the three dis
charged boys, declaring they would all
refuse to go to work yesterday morning
unless their demand was at once com
piled with. Yesterday morning Super
intendent Morgan tried 10 reason with
the boys, but they would not be rea-
soned with, so the superintendent or
dered them away and directed the works
be closed down. Hundreds of men are
thrown out of employment by the ac-
tion of these boys. Mr.. Morgan says
next Monday work will be resumed, but
with different lot Of boys as drivers.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT.
Serious Charges Against Man Who Has
Been Greatly llonorcd.

Yesterday afternoon the Times
sprung great sensation upon the COM
munity by charging that 5. S. Chan,
who went to Europe ostensibly on
visit about two months ago. was an
embezzler to the amount of 100000 or
more. Chan has been the city ticket
agent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company, and also represented num-
Der of steamship lines, doing a general
business as u ticket agent. The de-
tails of the alleged embezzlement have
not been made public. but there is lit
tie doubt that Chan has been doing
business in a crooked way. The TimeS
however, greatly overstates the amount
of the defalcaitton. as the writer of this
is assured that he had no opportunity
to appropriate any such amount of
money. All the facts will become
known in a few days and until that
time comes The Tribune will be con-
tent with simple announcement that
Chau has gone wrong. He has also
been very highly respected by every
one and was regarded as an honorable
and conscientious man by all who had
business relations with him.

IS QUAY COUNTY DEAD?
The Belief Very General That tho Dill
Cannot Now Pass.


The fact that the advocates of the
Quay county bill in the Legislature
feared to risk u vote on that measure
on Wednesday has convinced it's op-
ponents that the bill is as good as dead.
The announcement that IL will be called
up on Tuesday or Wednesday or next
week causes no apprehension whatever
here. HaZletonlans here yesterday
were very confident in their predictions
that the bill will yet pass the house at
the present session. They explain the
failure to call II up on Wednesday on
the grounds that a number of the
friends of the measure We're unavoid-
ably absent from their seats, and as
they do not claim that they have any
votes to spare they did not propose to
take any risks. "On Tuesday or We'd
nesday next" said one. 1--WE will put 1t
through in great shape" II the Quay
county bill shall be finally defeated the
credit will belong in much larger
measure to the determined efforts Of
the people of Schuylkill county than to
any opposition that has come from
Wilkes-Barrc.
