the University of Chicago, with one COM

sections of Mexico never before invaded

ROBBED OF HER SAVINGS.
Joseph Murphy Disappears and lm-
mediately $4OO Is Missing.

The friend whom E. A Kiefer took tn
his home and gave shelter and board and
promise of position, is believed To have
robbed Mrs Kiefer of $40O yesterday
morning and left the hospitable roof with
out saving adieu. The man is Joseph
Murphy, alias Morris, loquacious fDdf-
yiGual, about twenty-seven years old,
who succeeded in inducing Mrs. Kiefer
To tell him the hiding place of her treasures
and then, 1T is thought, stole her money.
Three years ago Mr.. KiefeT knew Muir
ply in Philadelphia, where they lived and
kept small resta urant. He knew little
Of the young mans antecedents, his ha bits
or his character, but, nevertheless, had
frequently helped him, and given him
money. The young man seemed 70 be hav-
ing bard struggle, and Mr.. Kiefer wished
TO help him along. A few weeks ago, Mr..
Kfefer decided to come to Washington
and locate. He brought his wife witt
lin, and the two went to board at No. 941
81 street northwest.
He was looking about for a favorable
Site to open up dairy lunch room, when
one day. about week ago, While on
Pennsylvania avenue, near Sixth street. he
met young Murphy, and told him his
plans. Murphy said he was stopping at
the st. James Hotel, but that he had no
employment.
Mr.. kiefer then invited the young man TO
Come to his boarding house and remain
until the lunchroom should be started
wnen he would be employed at the estab-
lishment. Murphy readily accepted the
proposition and appeared pleased at the
opportunity Of obtaining work. BY clever
inquiry Ill the right time Murphey learned
that Mrs. Kiefer kept the money which
they hoped to start in business with and
| that It amounted to $400.
Yesterday morning Murphy came down

him our confidence for his management Of
the affairs of the institution during this
critical period ofsits history. The action of
Mr.. Richardson in pledging his private for

Resolved, That these resolutions be en-
crossed on the minutes of the board.
After authorizing the secretary to
prepare the forms for officially notify,
ing the comptroller OF the currency Of
the action taken, tbs meeting adjourned.
During the day there was much
gossip concerning alleged confederates
OF Boggs in handling the large sum Of
money stolen by him, but as far as th 10
knowledge Of any of the directors or
officers of the bank was concerned, not
a single fact could be cleaned. They
are as much in the dark with respect
to this feature of the defalcation as
anyone.
George Massey Jones, who succeeds
Judge Pennewill as attorney for the
bank, has been busy for several weeks
10 an endeavor to secure a sufficient
number of proxies to insure the adop-
tion of the plan of reorganization de-.
sired by the present board. The result,
however, showed that there was no oc.
casion for any uneasiness. But had the
plan failed, the authorities at Washing

than to close the institution altogether

These contingencies, il is stated, had
been provided for some weeks agu, i'm

defalcation became known.
