THE OLD STORY.
Trusted Bank Employee Gets Away
With About $4,000

NEW YORK, Nov. 14-Richard D.
V. Wood, for the past six years as
sistant cashier of the Metropolitan Ma
tlonal bank lin liquidation since 1884
is wanted on the charge of appropriat-
ing 100000 of the banks funds He is
also said to have used $40, 900 belonging
to his father-in-law, John j. Law
renee, $4,000 belonging to his aunt,
Mrs. William Lawrence and con-
siderable sum belonging TO his cousin,
Jack Hare, all of Sparkill, N Y,
with whom he was associated in the
livery business.
1t is believed when the full extent Of
Woods populations become known they
will amount to sum in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000
1t was said today that no trace of
the man has been found, but that the
efforts to catch him will be prosecuted
with all possible vigor.
When the bank failed in 1884 Wood
was paying teller, and subsequently
acted as assistant cashier in winding
up its affairs. He had exclusive charge
OF the banks vaults and attended to all
the outdoor work. 1t is said he took
advantage of these facts to operate in
the stock market and recently he al
ways went on the wrong side
Three months ago Wood became i'll
Uiie]oiS " II dIodCt MS business,
1t fell into the hands of his old friends
in the office-men who looked upon
Wood as brother Then came dis
coveries which opened their eyes. Once
or twice Wood succeeded in getting
down to the office, but was too ill to
keep it UP. One day the vaults were
opened and then it was learned that
the securities had disappeared They
have not since been traced.
Wood lived with his faDoilV- ", n So -,
but not snowy style at Fairmont. He
is about So years old and has a wife
and two sons and a daughter. He had
been AZ years in the service of the
bank, beginning life in its employ as

SOME CYNICS.

Notwithstanding the fact That the
sultan has promised 10 execute sweep
ing reforms throughout his domdnio1's,
his promises are SIN looked "a as
kance by those here who have some eX-
per-ience OF his ausfulness and lack Of
good Intention and this in spite of the
fact that orders have already been
given for the putting into effect OF
some reforms promised.
The utilization among the powers,
wini5h it is claimed here is responsible
for the pressure brought to bear upon
the sultan, which compelled him to
grant the reforms may be short lived.
Cynical observers of the situa'Gon do
not place much faith in the claims that
Great Britain had a prominent part in
the concert. They maintained thnt
Russia, acting through France, is the
country that deserves the credit for
forcing the sultan TO understand thar
he must mend his ways and do some
thing besides making promises that he
never intends to fulfill If this is really
the case, there is little room to doubt
that there will be a radical change in
the Turkish policy, for Russia is really
the only power of which the sultan
stands in fear. There is great bic'W
and buster, but the ruler of Turkey
we'll knows that she is utterly inlPo-
tent 10 do anything more than make
threats, and she is not Threatening now
as much as she did a year ago. With
Russia, however, ii is a different mat
ter OF course, it hurts the Turkish
pride 10 know that Russia, acting
through France, has been able to ac-.
comnl;eh more with the sultan than
she, Turkeys self-contributed protector.
and it may be that it is this feeling
Of injury that leads official circles here
10 believe that what England has not
accomplished would also be impossible
for France. But the fact remains that
it was to NJ. HanotauX, the French
foreign minister, that the sultan first
promised the granting OF reforms more
sweeping in their nature that those
promised to Great Britain nlonhs ago,
not one of whicGl WIS ever put into eff
feet, and that already some of these
last promised reforms are not being
carried out

GREAT SCHEME.

The Conservative members of the
Constitutional club have ventured
upon a scheme grander than anything
in clubs the world has yet seen. They
are inviting, by private circular, sub
Scriptions for the erection of a build
ing which is to be adapted to the uses
of $1,000 members. This club is to be
the focus of all Conservative move
ments, to have a ball room admitting
of the largest gatherings of the party,
a theater for lectures or dramatic per-
formanceS, cheap membership admis-
sion, and a cheap cuisine. The Carl
ton, Junior Carlton, Conservative, jim
ior Conservative and kindred groups
will subscribe and patronize, but per-
sonally their members hold aloof.
LONDON'S WATER.
The supply of London with water
from Wales is an old scheme now re-
vived. It has been calculated that be-
tween the amount required for the
purchase of the water companies now
holding the monopoly of the supply.
and the cost of the works from Wales.
the amount would be over e100. 600. OOO
This enormous sum could, of course be
raised by successive loans, but it would
make the Londoners pay for long
time more than is now exacted from
them by the water companies. Bir-
mingham and other great centers are
competitors with London for the water
bearing area in Wales.

There is no encouraging news about
hops and many growers say they will moi
pick the crop on an advance OF four cents
They claim that only picking expenses
would thus be secured which would re-
suit in bearing the market next year and
If they picked this season with 4cent
advance they would receive nothing for 8
crop which would stare them in the face
in 1897 and assist in keeping the price
down. Outright sales would be made il
cents were offered but 5 cents is the
only figure which the.buyers will nomi.
nate unless long time contract is made.
Mr.. Lachmund, Of the Horst. Lachmund
Co., offers to contract for 5 years at 6
cents for the first year and 8 cents fol
each of the four succeeding years. Many
of the growers are holding firm preferring
to see the hops rot on the vines rather
than to injure their future prospects by
contracting at low figures, consigning
with little prospect OF returns, or selling
at prices which will barely pay the cost
of picking, curing and preparing for
market.
E. w. Dooley is in receipt OF letter
from Colin Carmichael, who has been
quite low in his old home in England
from hemorrhage of the lungs. At the
time the letter was written, August 18th,
he was feeling much better and expected
to leave for Yakima in about two weeks.
Regarding hops he said that the led
spIler and white mold were doing con.
siderable damage and that the English
crop would not be half OF that of last
year. The first bale of new hops sold
for 60 cents pound and English growers
anticipate that they will receive % cents
before the season is over from which he
deduces that it is reasonably certain that
coast hops will bring 10 cents.
S. Schreiner and other growers are
arranging to begin picking hops about
the middle of next week. The hops of
Yakima were never of choicer quality
or richer color and there is every reason
why they should bring the top market
price. Mr.. Schreiner says he will pursue
the same course this year he did last and
make trip to Wisconsin and Minnesota
and make direct sales to the brewers.
He found this very satisfactory and
paying method OF marketing bis crop.
