REV. j. j. KANE, D. D.. DYING.
An Ex~Chapln Of the Navy Who Has
Had Unusual Experiences.

NEW YORK, April S.-Rev. James j.
Kane D. D., late chaplain of the Brooklyn
navy yard. is reported to be dying of pneu-
monia in England.
Rev. Mr.. Kane has had an extraordinary
career. He won fame in the navy during
the civil war. After the war, while his
ship was quartered in Jamaica, he caught
yellow fever and died. so far as appear
ances went. He was placed in his coffin
but although apparently dead he saw and
heard rything that passed. After eight
hours in the coffin he sat up, to the horror
of the cos2red men whose duty 1t was 10
keep watch over him. Some years later,
while in Norfolk navy yard of which he
was chaplain, he appeared to die the sec
ond time, and remained in cataleptic
state for eight hours. When he recovered.
or was resuscitated he left the navy and,
completing his studies, joined the church.
Mr.. Kane obtained leave OF absence last
year. and soon after was placed on the
retired list. He had quite number of
medals for bravery in battle.

favored the Republican candidates. East

GAMBLED AND LOST
CONFESSION OF AN ASSISTANT CASH
TER OF A CHICAGO BANK.
Took $4,000 of the Northwestern Ma
tionafs Money and squandered
1t in stock SpecuIations.

tsCHICAGO.s April 3.-F. w. Griffin, as
sistant cashier of the Northwestern Ma
tional Bank, of this city, is defaulter to
the extent of $4,000. He has confessed. The
Northwestern National is bank of ample
means, with capital and resources amount
ing to million and a half dollars, and one
of the most conservative institations in
Chicago Griffin's shortage will in no wise
effect the standing of the bank and creates
no excitement.
Frederick Griffin, the defaulter, had been
in the employ of the Northwestern Bank
about twenty years. He was prominent
socially, and but a few weeks ago was
elected president of the Ashland, a swell
West-side club. He owns beautiful resi-
dence on Washington boulevard where he
was kept to-day under charge. of United
States officers, no formal arrest having yet
been made In an interview Griffin said
that $4,000 had been taken to help him in
stock speculations. The money was lost
Although the defalcation was well covered
it preyed on his mind until he could keep
the secret no longer and informed the bank
officials. He was ready. he said. to take
whatever punishment should be given him.

cf0okedneSS was first noticed by Bank Ex-
aminer Mckeon, when he received his
sheets from the Northwestern National
Bank of Omaha.
This afternoon Griffin was brought before
United States Commissioner Humphrey, and
the hearing was postponed until tomorrow
at $3.50 O'Clock. Griffins bond was fixed at
$1,000. and he was remanded to the cus-
tody of the marshal Griffin is anxious for
an early trial and content to suffer what
he terms his ''misfortunes- He expects to
be able to furnish bond by tomorrow, and
will waive an examination and go before
the federal court in May for trial.

CHECKING UP BANK EMPLOYEES.
Examiner Teeters Speaks of the $780,

Examiner Teeters Speaks of the $780,
900 Dcfalcation at Chicago.
II have had OCCASION" said Bank Ex-
aminer Teeters yesterday, at the State
house. ito tell several bankers of Indiana
that the cashier of the Northwestern Bank,
of Chicago, who was short $4,000, was an
unsafe man to trust, but had no idea that
he would ever prove defaulter. My idea
concerning him was that ne would be too
lenient with speculative securities. 1 have
seen him in his Office number of times and
have watched him grab up a handful of
tape and read the quotations on stocks,
wheat, ETC., with the intensest interest, as
if he had a big stake on the turn of
card. 1t was the look of an operator or
gambler and | somehow acquired distrust
of him.
II believe it would be good thing in
the clerks. The Bank of France has never
had defalcation beca use there are three
checks to every payment of money out of
the bank You go TO one window and, after
being identified present your cneck, which
is taken up and a card properly numbered
check, is given you. Then you so to an
other window and receive warrant for a
teller at third window, who hands you
the money. The Bank of England has had
defalcations but the Bank of France, never.
England has no such system as the French
bank. Some of the Chicago banks make
practice every few weeks of shifting about
the employees that clerk bookkeeper
has to keep checked UP to the minute SO
as not to be caught mapping. The investiga-
present. These concerns will never have
defalcatiOnS.

PENSION DECISION REyERSEn
An Indiana Line-of-Duty Case That

WASHINGTON, April 3--Assistant Sec
retary Reynolds, OF the Interior Depart
ment, has overruled the decision of the las;
administration as to the line of duty of
soldiers. holding that soldier being en-
gagged in private business and not in the
performance of those things which the law
required of him as military duty cam
not be considered in the line of uuty The
last administration hell very broadly in
the matter of line of duty and any injury
received by a soldier while in the ARMY was
generally considered pensionable. Ihe case
decided by Assistant Secretary Reynolds
is that of Henry a. Hilmer, Eighth Indi.

of President Clevelands former adminis-
tration the action was affirmed the depart

CONTRADICTORY NEGLIGENCE.
Important Decision by Judge CaId-
well, of the Federal Court.

ST. LOUIS, April 3.-What constitutes
contributory negligence on the part of a
passenger on railroad was defined to-
day by Judge Caldwell, who said: ut is
now we'll settled that passenger on
railroad train who is injured by the neg
ligence of the company is not debarred
from a right to a recovery because he
was at the time he received the injury,
negligently riding on the platform of the
car in some other exposed or dangerous
position IL such action on his part did not
contribute in any degree to the accident
or his injury. 1t is not contributory .negli-
gence in a sense that would preclude re-
covery because IL in no manner or degree
contributed to the injury, ana is therefore
wanting in the element of proximate cause
essential to constitute contributory negli-
gence that will bar a recovery"

The irrigation board, composed of five
officers of the Agricultural Department,
met to-day and discussed the subject of a
plan for irrigation. AS yet the plans are
merely tentative, but it is thought before
Congress meets some feasible proposition
will be ready to submit as ground work
for legislation.
There is difference between the Navy
Department and the Cramps builders of
the Minneapolis. relative to the payment of
certain expenses attending the trial trip of
the vessel last year and the accounts in
dispute have been referred to a board for
adjustment, as provided by the contract.
The Monterey, which was under orders
to proceed from Mare Island to Callao,
Peru, has put back to Mare Island from

gear has developed some imperfections, and
that it was deemed wise to correct these
before leaving home waters.
A board will be appointed very soon by
the President to conduct the examination
cutter service under the provisions OF the
act passed at the last session of Congress-.
There are about forty of these officers who
