And Still Another Suicide.
The Root Of Evil and Vanity the Cause Of It,

Isaac f. Abbott, an old and re.
spected citizen of Dover, N. H, and
cashier Of the Dover National Bank,
was found on the I4th inst. to be a
defaulter to an amount estimated to
be about $50, 900, and when officers
went to his residence to arrest him
he shot and killed himself
The discovery of the defalcation
was made by Bank Examiner Dorr,
who began an examination of the
bank last Friday. He asked Mr..
Abbott certain questions which the
cashier said he would answer next
morning. When the examiner came
again Saturday morning it was found
that the safe could not be opened,
and Mr.. Abbott failed to appear. He
was at home and said that he would
explain all Monday.
The refusal of the cashier to say
anything was brought to the attention
OF the bank officials, and Examiner
Dorr at once declared Abbott de-
faulter.
Mr.. Abbott remained at home all
day, and Chief of Police Fogarty de.
tailed police officers to guard the
house. The object of setting the
time lock ahead was to give him time.
Abbott stated that the vault would
open in the morning at nine o'clock.
When the vault was unlocked, Bank
Examiner Dorr posted notice that
the bank had suspended business
until It's affairs could be Strengthened
out, At three o'clock in the afternoon
brother of Abbott heard the report
of a pistol, and rushing to his brothers
room, found him lying on the floor
with his face shattered and covered
with blood. Life was extinct. 1t is
believed the dead cashier has left
detailed statement for Examiner Dorr.
Intense excitement prevails, as Abbott
was also cashier of the Five Cent
Savings Bank and was city treasurer.
Mr.. Abbott's bond was issued for
$4,000 by the North American
Guarantee Company Of Montreal, who
have been spprised of the default.
The city's money on deposit is said
to be safe. The stockholders will have
to make good the deficiency in the
bank.

When winters snow the rain doth
nip, its generally the case that we get
the grip. But this poetic conclusion
need not detract from the very touch

the bard is led by experience to re-

combination of the truth and poetry
contained in these prophecies it is
necessary to consider them jointly,

An audience in keeping with the
high character of MIR. Wilfred Clarke
and the specially selected company,
among which were Mrs. John Drew,
the distinguished actress, and Joseph
]. Holland, the we'll known actor, en-.
gagged to support him, filled the Girard
Avenue Theatre, Philadelphia, Mon.
day evening to witness Mr.. Clarke's
performance Of "Bob Acres" in Sheri.
dams famous comedy of "The Rivals" ="
The steadily increasing audience up
to the point of standing room only,
and the lively interest manifested in
all Mr.. Clarke's performances dem
onstrate that the public are prepared
to support managers and actors who
give an opportunity to witness play S
which attract by force of their literary
excellence. The strongest compliment
that can be paid Mr.. Clarke and his
company is the simple statement that
every person IN the cast brought TO
their tasks a degree of intelligence
that rendered the entire performance
perfectly pleasing one. Mr.. Clarke's
comedy cannot be compared to any
other extant; it is original and it is
doubtful if the Oldest theatre. .goer in
the audience ever witnessed its equal.
Many private carriages were in wait
ing at the close of the performance.
To see Clarke in comedy has become
fashionable necessity in Philadel-
phia-TIn,eS, Philadelphia.
The date of Mr.. Clarke's return en-,
gagement here is Wednesday, January
20, when he will present great comedy
OF "Tit for Tat" at the Opera House.
