Tho Directorate OF the Traders Eank
Which Is Prosecutor. Say That the
Proceedings Are Prompted ty
Moral Obligations Solely.

TIE directors of the Traders National
bank yesterday had eX-Cashier A. s.
Williams arrested on the charge Of en-
bezzlement
IT being a case for the United States
court. inasmuch as the Traders Is a
national bank, the information was
lodged before Commissioner A. j. Col
born and the warrant was served by
Deputy Marshal Frank Robling Not
being prepared to make u defense. the
hearing was continued until March 3 at
10 o'clock a. m. Bail In the sum of sl5..
900 was required for his appearance at
that time, j. W. Guernsey. II. NJ. Boies
and G. II. We!les qualifying as bonds
men.
The Information on which the war
rant was issued was made by John II.
Porter president of the bank 1t re-
cites that A. B. Williams was cashier
of the bank for five years and particu-
larly during the year 1895 and one
month Of 1886. during which time he,
wrongfully and without the knowledge
OF consent of the directors or officials
OF the bank. converted To his own use
or embezzled $35.O0O of the banks funds.
The directorate of the bank gives out
the statement that the arrest was made
simply to punish the embeZzling cashier
and not because Ii Is expected to aid
them In any way to secure n reimburse
ment OF the banks loss On that score
there Is no uneasiness. as the Fidelity
and Casualty company of New York,
which is on Williams bond must make
good the defalcation. The directors
consulted and took outside counsel on
the matter and came to the conclusion
that they were morally obligated to in
stitute criminal proceedings against the
embeZ2ling cashier

The Syracuse Courier man rises to re-
mark that "Wiikes-Barre and Scranton

A leap year social. which developed
some highly entertaining features was
conducted last evening in the Plymouth
Congregational church. Here is the
novel part: a sheet of canvass was
stretched across the stage like a cur
tain. ON this canvass was printed a
musical scale with a full octave Of
notes. In place of the heavy part of
each particular note there was small
opening and from these openings
peeped the faces of eight Of the young
ladies' of the church. Mrs. j. Davis
explained the scale in a clever way.
Then several songs Were sung. the diff
ferent young ladies singing their re-
spective notes in the piece. 1t was a
novel and unusually good entertain
ment.
