BARNARD HAD swAMrED THE BANK
Not Only n DefnuIter, but Had Mis-
managed It's Affairs.

NEW YORK, Feb. A special dispatch
from Rome, N. Y, to the Evening Post
says: The condition Of the Fort Stanwix
National bank proves to be very bad. 1t is
stated on good authority that the bank is
involved to the extent of nearly $500, 900.
or this amount 1t is said there are 100000
in drafts of the j. Winslow jones Packing
company OF Baltimore and other concerns
associated with It., 100000 OF miscellaneous
bad paper and a $4,000 defalcation by CASH
ier Barnard. This amount will swamp the
bank and throw IL into the hands of re-
ceiver The capitsl stock is sl50,0O0 and
the surplus and undivided profits Sl7O,0O0
more, so the stockholders must be assessed.
1t is alleged that lately Cashier Barnard had
been speculatng in stocks in the hope Of
being able to make up for losses to the bank
through mismanagement
ROME, N. Y, Feb. 4.-There was great
excitement among the citizens when II was
learned today from an authoritative source
that the shortage In the fort StanwiX Ma
tiona bank amounts up to the present time
to 1915 600, and that Hon. George Barnard,
who, before his suicide last Saturday, was
the trusted cashier, ex-mayor and vestryman
of Zion Episcopal chruch, would be found In
debt personally nearly $4,000. Bank Ex-
aminer Van Franklin will not yet go into the
details of the bank affairs, nor will he either
affirm or deny anything in that connection
A complete examination has not been made,
and the shortage, as learned today, has been
estimated after a partial examination. One
of the directors Of the bank told the Asso-
Gated press man that he would not be sur
prlsed If the shortage amounted to S500,000
and declared Barnards personal shortage
might reach 100000. Barnard had not
taken vacation for thirty years. and after
today's disclosures the reason for this is
found in the belief that he did not desire
any one but himself to handle his accounts.
So far as the habits of the man are con-
cerned, during the many years he has re-
sided in this city 1t has always been thought
that he INDUCED in no eNtravagances and no
speculations. The overdrafts of the j. w.
Jones Canning company Of Baltimore and
others amount to 100000 it is said, but who
the others are cannot be learned. President
uttley telegraphed today that he will be
here on Friday and the directors desire
nothing to be done until his return. An eff
fort will then be made to get together enough
money to warrant the banks going into
voluntary liquidation.

BAYARD IS Ar LEAST FEARLESS,


EnEItSh preSS 10 MOI So -huSh
of His JuaEnicat.
LONDON, Feb. A number OF the morn
ing papers contain comments upon the corfe-
spondence which passed between President
Cleveland and Secretary 0lney and Ambas-
sador Bayard regarding the speeches fer
which the house of representatives propose
to censure him. and which was given to the
press for publication in this morning s
papers An editorial in tho Standard says OF
it: "a perusal Ct the correspondence Of
President Cleveland and Secretary Olney
with Mr.. Bayard does not fpcrease the ad-
miration for the methods and business ways
of American politics. There 10 a painful
want of dignity in the manner In which Mr..
Bayards official critics display their resent
ment."
The Post says it is another illustration OF
the humurs of presidential elections
The Daily News says: by publishing the
correspondence Mr.. Bayard shows he is as
fearless as his ancient namesake, and most
persons reading it with candor will be dis
posed to think that he is almost equally
without reproach. Still. 1t is advisable that
he should not do 1t again.

What would Edmund Burke have
thought" he asked. had he been living
now, to see our brethren across the
Atlantic forgetful of all the ties of kindred? !?
His eloquent voice would have been raised

Burke either here or in America, am well
persuaded that the generous sense Of both
great countries will speak even without the
mighty impulse of his voice If that be so,

can carry out The duties which Providence
