A CASHIER IS MISSING
THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARING
 OF BANKER NOxON.

His Bank Accounts All Straight, but Is
 Said to Owe Large sums to Individuals. Thought to Be wealthy-Peculiar Check Transactions.
 SING SING. April 15.-There Is but one 5opic of general conversation In this place just now, and that Is, What has become of Isaac B. Noxon, the former cashier of the First National bank9 He was to have been home and at his post of secretary of the Sing Sing Savings bank more than a week ago. Instead of that absolutely nothing is known of his whereabouts and all trace of him has been lost since he sent two letters, one to his daughter and an other to a creditor in Sing Sing from the Grand Union hotel in New York city.
 Those letters reached their destinations within a few days after his departure.
 In addition to the mysterious disappear ance 1t now transpires that Mir. Noxon has left behind him personal debts amounting to several thousands of dollars. President Henry c. Nelson of the First National bank says that the accounts of both banks with which Mir. Noxon was con nected are intact. Like the rest of the villagers, however, Mir. Nelson Is at loss to account for MT. Noxon's strange ac- tions. The missing mans daughter, Miss Grace Noxon, is quite prostrated and de- nies herself to many callers.
 One of the main branches of discussion is a transaction Mir. Noxon had with Jesse Tyndall, a painter of Central avenue. Even the story of this transaction Is vari- ousy stated, and the following is said to be the correct version:
 A Queer Check Transaction. Last September Mir. Noxon borrowed | e1 ,000 from Tyndall, giving him in re- | turn his personal check for that amount The check was dated and made payable | In November. When it came due Noxon | told Tyndall he had not at that time quite | enough money to his account to insure | the payment of the check.
 Tyndail was perfectly willing to delay | negotiating the check and did so until | Jan. 10. He then went to the bank and | presented the check with his passbook. | Noxon, who was cashier, said he would make out the entry and have the book | ready in day or two.
 That afternoon, however, Noxon sought | Tyndall and told him again that hs had | not enough money to honor the check. He suggested as a remedy that Tyndall make l out to him a personal check for S1 900. | Tyndall did this and thereby became Nox- | on's creditor for that sum. But Noxon | capitalized matters by giving again his | own check for $1 ,000. dated Jan. 90. On | that day Tyndall went to the bank with | the check and passbook. and the s1 1000 was entered on the book. This placed mat | ters in practically the same position as if there had been no borrowing.
 Tyndall had about s2, 200 in the bank, | and as his expenses were very heavy he had to make numerous drafts upon his ao- l count On March Is Mir. Noxon left Sing l oEoS iS said, and on March 2l he wrote to Tyn- dall from the Grand Union hotel of New York oity inolosing the check he gave to ! Tyndall and which the latter had deposit ed on Jan. 10.
 The letter accompanying 1t said, in part, that although he had given Tyndan credit on the passbook for the check. he | (Noxon) could not meet it and asked if Tyndall would hold 1t until April 20 when the writer would make 1t good. So the condition of affairs now Is that Tyndall has the check and the letter and the q, 00O entry in his passbook. but can not draw against the sum. He is patient ly waiting until the goth of this month, when he will be able to see whether he is ever to get back the 1000.
 Noxon's Further Indebtedness. Besides this indebtedness to Tyndall, Noxon owes John Gibney, a lawyer, of 211
 Main street. si ,000, and Thomas Leary, a
 lawyer, of Croton avenue, $1,00o. Rumor
 has 1t that he also owes the following:
 John Cuatt, a carpenter, of Maurice ave
 nue, S1 .000; Smith Acker, a farmer liv-
 ing about two miles north of Sing Sing,
 5000; Francis Larken, a lawyer In the
 Masonic Hall building, $5. 900 (Mr. Lar
 kin is said to have indorsed an $S, 900 note
 of Noxon's and that s3, 900 of the latter's | IL sH1 l. l.
 hypothecatedD; John Hoag, county treas
 urer, s5, 1000, and Frank Brandreth a
 member of the family that makes a oer-
 tain pill and porus plaster, S5,000.
 The last two items are mere matters oi
 village gossip and receive both oontirma-
 tion and denial. One or two villagers said
 that Noxon owed Albert V. Jennison, the
 proprietor of the American hotel, $500,
 but Mir Jennison denied it.
 At what the village Is standing aghasi
 is why MT. Noxon wanted so much money
 and what he has done with it. Last June
 he mortgaged to Ralph Brandreth the Ma
 sonic hall for s10.0O0. There was already
 upon it mortgage of 8, 500, which ha. been held for many years by the Townsend
 Young estate. What has become of this
 money is not known, either, and Sing
 Sing is all in the dark.
