AFFAIRS IN A T.NcLE.
Lack Of Systematic Bookkeeping In
Willimantic Dime Bank.
Some New Light Thrown on
Queer Transactions
Which Threaten 10 Involve Prominent Men In
the Town.

WILLrMANTIC, Conn, July 2i.-It Is now
asserted that the Dime bank was insolvcnt
months ago, On July l, last, II. A. Bucks
term Of Office as bank commissioner ex-
pired. He declared the bank solvent at
the time. Commissioner Crofut's latest
examinations disprove this statement.
Mr.. Buck was elected president of the
bank Monday afternoon. He was con-
frontcd with these facts by States At
torney Hunter, and Immediately resigned.
The banks bookkeeping has been Of the
1oosest character No interest whatever
has been paid on many notes, and thou
sands OF dollars In unsecured personal
notes have just been discovered. Among
these are two $1,000 notes of Mr.. Bucks
son, William. Tho 5000 In bonds miss
Ing are those OF the Staten Island Railroad
company.
Ii has come out that Walden did actu-
ally advance $4,000 of the banks money
for the purchase of the Morrison Machine
company estate by Attorney Thomas j.
Kelly. Mr.. Kelly appeared Mt meeting
OF the directors yesterday and explained
that he acted as Mr.. Walden's agent In
selling machinery to Sutton & Balm of
Allentown, Pa, assuming that IL was for
the benefit Of the bank. This was the
machinery for which Walden paid S4400
of the banks money. The directors ap-
pointed committee to collect the money
due on this.
w. G. Morrison OF the Morrison Machine
company has been missing since Sunday.
1t Is supposed that as soon as Morrison
learned Of Walden's departure he
Left For Parts Unknown.
II. B Sumner and Thomas j. Kelly
left last night for Allentown to look after
the machinery transaction.
II was stated last night that several SEN
sational arrests would probably be made
during the next "a hours.
The missing treasurer and his father
had built up an extensive fire insurance
agency. Representatives of several of the
companies from New York hnd Boston
were In town yesterday examining their
accounts.
Their insurance books are in as bad con-
dition nearly as the books Of the bank. 1t
Is supposed that most of the missing
money was invested in the Morrison Ma
chine company.
1t has been learned that SIC, 900 Of Staten
Island railroad bonds, which were in the
bank at the examination made June Is,
were missing at the examination on July
IL, and have not been seen since.
The directors will meet again this even
ing, and IL is probable that G. B. Pomeroy
and John Scott, the newly elected presi-
dent and vice president, will resign.

therefore deem my executive duty ade-
Quately performed ut this time by pre-
senting to congress the important phases
of our situation as related to our inter-
course with foreign nations, and state
ment OF the financial problems which con-
front US, omttting. except as they are re-
lated to these topics, any reference to de-
partmental operations. I earnestly invite,
however. not only the careful considera-
ton but the severely critical scrutiny of
the congress and my fellow countrymen to
operations If justly and fairly examined
they will furnish proof of assiduous and
painstaking care for the public welfare.

record, from which appear the constitu-
ton and organization of the court, the
charges as formulated, and the general
course and result OF the trial, by which 1t
is shown that the accused was tried in
open court and was defended by counsel.
But the evidence adduced in support of the
charges, which was not received by the
French minister for foreign affairs till the
first week in October-has thus far been
the ground that its Introduction in re-
Spouse to our demand would establish q
precedent. The efforts of our ambassador
to procure 1t, however, though impeded by
recent changes in the French ministry
have not been realized, and it Is confident
ly expected that some satisfactory solu-
ton of the matter will shortly be reached.
Meanwhile. 1t appears that Mr. Walters
confinement has every alienation which
the state of his health and all the other
circumstances of the case demand or per-
NIT.
In agreeable contrast to the differences
above noted respecting a matter of COM
mon concern, where nothing is sought ex-
cept such mutually satisfactory outcome
as the true merits of the case require. is
the recent resolution of the French cham
bers favoring the conclusion of perma-
nent treaty of arbitration between the two
countries.
An invitation has been extended by
France to the government and people Of
the United States to participate in great
international exposition at Paris in 1900 as
a suitable commemoration of the close of
this, the worlds marvellous century of
progress. / heartily recommend itsaac-

How the Gun Is Made.

Yesterday Mr. Link Major Auer of Syr-
acuse and number OF newspaper men
went down to the proving ground to SEQ
the gun tested The fun ordnance board
consisting of Major Phipps and Captains
Crozier and Heath were on hand, as well
as number Of other military men. The
members of the ordnance board wanted a
full explanation of the gun and the mate
rial of which IL was made, and when they
demanded this Of Mr.. Link he threw mp
his hands and admitted that he didn {
know much about his gun.
The rawhide gun. used yesterday was
not a very formidable affair 1t was feet
s inches long and was of al6 inches cali
ber. 1t was mounted on a most elaborate
gun carriage, which Mr.. Link informed
the board was made by the finest wagon
maker in Syracuse. The gun weighs 456
pounds and, according to the diagram, is
made up of layers Of steel, rawhide and
copper wire The bore is Of steel, "a Of
an inch thick at the muzzle and = inch
es thick at the breeeh. The rawhide is
inch thick at the mu2zle and inches
thick at the breech and is cut IN 4 inch
strands.
Around the whole is wrapped two layers
Of heavy copper wire. The gun looked
strong enough TO stand an ordinary charge,
but not an officer present believed that
there would be much more than few
bits Of the carriage left after the first OF
the heavy tests had been made Mr.. Link
thought otherwise. He walked proudly
around his cannon, giving il affectionate
pats every now and ther, and inviting the
officers to blaze away and bust her II you
can.
After severe tests the officers admitted
that the cannon was more Of a gun than
they thought. The cannon was perfectly
cool after every shot. The average recoil
was about six feet. Major Phipps said aft
er the test that the gun to be of any use
would have to be breech loader.
