avenue yesterday attracted attention of
pedestrians as printed in The Star yester-
day was OF Pennsylvania avenue again In
the evening, and then he was indulging in
sneechmaking He told his several hundred
bearers that he was President of the Uni

rested him.
When he appeared ir court this morning
his conduct showed beyond doubt that his
mind is affected.
He told Judge Kimball that he had been
sent by God to preach the Christian doc
trnes of nature.
When his brother, Charles Mccarthy, was
called to tell of his condition the prisoner
importuned him to keep quiet and let Lieut..
Boyle do the talking.
When the court made a suggestion that
he be examined the prisoner said he was
willing to be examined by any physicians
whom the court might appoint and said
he was perfectly conscious of his surround
ings.
Judge kimball committed him to Jail for
examination.

AN AGED BANKERS CRIME.
It. II. Morgan of BinshnmtOn. N. ",
ConfcsseS His Dishonesty.


Confcsses His Dishonesty.
The news of the suspension of the two
banks at Bnghamton. N. Y. yesterday
spread rapidly, and when the news Of the
attempt to steal the books was noised
abroad panic was created. All the other
city banks We're beseiged with depositors
all day long. The Broome County National
Bank was the repository for the city and
county funds, amounting in all to nearly
100000.
But the sensation Of the day, however,
was reserved until the afternoon, when the
confession of Treasurer T. f. Morgan of
the banks to Examiner Backus was made
public. The New York Tribune CORE
spondent saw Mr.. Backus and learned that
Morgan had confessed to embezzling nearly
100000, and also to forgery on several oc-
casions. He has changed the bank records,
made false entries and erasures, and his
embeZzlement had caused the wreck of the
savings bank.
Examiner Backus said he had hardly
looked into the books before he saw that
there had been crooked work. He accused
Morgan of defaulting,d but he denied it..
Later on, when more proof came up, the
bank official was forced to acknowledge his
guilt He made written confession to the
examiner later, and yesterday his evident
intention, when removing the books, was
to cover up the traces of his guilt. When
the examiner discovered the true state OF
affairs he forbade Morgan and Brownson
to be at the bank. Their entrance yester-
day is nothing short of burglary, and this
with Morgan's confession of stealing gives
sufficient ground for criminal action
against them both.
Mr.. Morgan is seventy-nine years old and
has been one Of the most respected citizens
of Bnghamton. He is one of the trustees
of Christ Episcopal Church. He served
the city one term as mayor Mr.. Morgan
was also a prominent Odd Fellow, and, in
deed, was custodian of the Binghamton
Lodges funds to the amount of $4,000.
The lodge contemplated building a chapter
house with this, but it is feared that his
peculations have been extended to this
sum. Morgan refuses to see any one.

A Talk With the New Senator.

Senator Pritchard of North Carolina at
tended the republican caucus today, being
the first North Carolinian to be entitled to
that privilege in the Senate for twenty
two years. He has been warmly welcomed
by the republicans, and made to feel quite
at home. Indeed, he Is no stranger to
Washington, as he told a Star reporter this
afternoon. II have been coming to WASH
ington quite frequently of late years." he
said, ito attend to my law practice. I
have had good many cases before :he
internal revenue bureau of the treasury
arising out of the distillery laws. 1 rep
resent, as you know, a section of the Coun-
try that Is quite largely interested in
such matters" and twinkle escaped from
Mr.. Pritchard's blue eyes he said this.
He is considerably above medium height
ard in fact is quite giant among such
mer as Senators Chandler and Quay, near
whom he sits in the Senate. He is stopping
at the Ebbitt House, and will probably
make that his headquarters for the pres
ent He is married, and has two children,
but they have not accompanied him to
Washington on this trip.
Mr.. Prtchard was asked by the reporter
if he knew whether Mr. Marion Butler
who will succeed Senator Ransom after the
4tb of March. will sit with the republicans
or democrats after taking the oath. Mr..
Pritchard frankly admitted that he did not
know Mr. Butler, he said, is a populist,
and was elected as SUCH Re realized, Of
course that the location of Mr.. Buffers
seat will necessarily have considerable in
fluence in the organization of the next
Senate, but he indicated tEat Mr.. Butler
has not yet fully determined on his exact
course in the Senate. Mr.. Butler is now in
North Carolina attending to the publication
of his newspaper, and may possibly not
come TO Washington until 1t is time for
him to take the oath of office.
Mr.. Pritchard has not yet been assigned
to any committees in the Senate and may
not be for some time, las, succeeding DEM
ocrat, it may be difficult to place him in
the vacancies caused by the retirement Of
Mr.. Jarvis. this might give the republi-
ca.ns a ma jority instead of a minority on
these committees. He will probably oc-
cupy Senator Jarvis headquarters for the
time being

THE YOUNGEST MAN IN THE SENATE
He Took the Oath of Office Yes
terday Afternoon.
SKETCH OF HIS CAREER

A Senator ceased to be and another Sem
ator began to be at 3::24 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. This ceremony does not often
occur in the middle of a session. though 1t
is quite common every two years on the
4th of March or early in December. This
dissolving view had as it's chief performers
Mr.. Pritchard and Mr.. Jarvis of North
Carolina. and the Transformation was the
more complete in that it destroyed demo-
cratic Senator and produced republican.
Mr.. Jarvis, accompanied by man OF mid
die age and height. rather blond in hair and
mustache, clad in a black fTock coat and
appearing somewhat nervous amid his sur
roundngs stood beneath the blue dial at
the south entrance of the Senate chamber
that famous old clock on which Capt. Bas-
sett acts so shamelessly with Time on GER
tain official occasions.

Mr. Jarvis. who has been a Senator from
North Carolina for some months. as the

when Mr.. Jarvis pronounced this name and
appeared to whisper something. Mr.. Jar
Wis became nervous. too, and corrected him
self, to say that his successors name was
Jeter c. Pritchard. Then the machine for
making Senators moved smoothly as ever.
and in a few seconds. the credentials being
read aloud, the transformation took place.
Mr.. Prtchard raised his right hand. while
Senator Harris read the oath with his slow.
impressive voice, signed the book, and
presto! Mr.. Jarvis was plain citizen once
more. and the mountaineer of the north
state was q Senator of the United States.

Sketch of His Career.


Senator Pritchard was born in Tennessee
of poor but honest parents. When q boy of
ten he started to walk from Tennessee to
North Carolina, with ten cents and a
chicken sandwich in his pocket. He stop
ped at Bakersvlle, N. c., little town at
the foot of Roam mountain, and applied
for work and food at the office of the
country newspaper. He got both and
commenced his career as a printers devil
He worked hard and identified himself
with the republican party. He first got a
small appointment in the Internal revenue
service. He was promoted gradually. lie
married a Miss Bowman. the daughter of
prosperous farmer, who was also re-
publican. He was the nominee of his party
for governor of North Carolina in 1855. In
1890 he was a candidate for Congress. Both
times he was defeated. Marion Butler
conceived the fusion scheme with the
republicans and Jeter Pritchard was his
foremost ally. The scheme succeeded and
fusion" won by 10000 majority.

The New Senator's Seat.

Immediately Capt. Bassett took posses
sion of the newcomer and led the way to
his seat, which is at the end of the second
row on the republican side. on the north
edge, next to Senator Chandler, and inlme-
diately behind Senator Wilson. 1t is a
very convenient seat from which to get
out of the chamber, which is an advantage
for a new man, who is always besieged by
constituents who want things, such as
garden seeds and hips. Mr..
Chandler was right by the side of his new
neighbor to become acquainted and to
make him feel at home. In a moment Mr..
Pritchard was surrounded by republican
Senator's, who escorted him to the cloak
room In a few minutes, and kept him pris
oner there during the afternoon. while they
listened to his story of how he and Marion
Butler carried the state last fall.
