Sensational disclosures Regarding
Loan and Banking Company.
Memphis, Tenn. April 2S.-A special
from Atlanta. Ga. says: Harry A.
Cassin, cashier Of the Georgia Savings,
Loan and Banking company, who con
fessed to being defaulter to the ex-
tent of $4,000. ard whose friends had
agreed to pay up his shortage to keep
him out of Jail, is now behind the bars
of Fulton prison. At a meeting of the
board of directors of the institution a
brief examination of the books was
made and this resulted in the astound-
Ing discovery that the bank. which
was supposed to be one Of the most
prosperous in the state, had barely a
cents worth of assets. Instead of the
shortage being $4,000 it will be sew
eral times that sum, and instead of
Cassin being the bearer Of the entire
guilt it is now believed that at least
one other conspicuous official will
share Il cell with him within the next
few hours.

Underground Railway Coach De.
mOlislled by an Explosion.
London, April 2S.-A tremendous ex-
plosion occurred on the underground
railway as train filled with men
from the city was making it's usual
stop at the Aldersgate station. The
glass roof of the station was blown
out and the platform strewn with
debris. Many of the gas lights in the
waiting rooms and on the platform
We're cxtinguished and the station left
in semi-dsrkness. A general panic
ensued. After quiet had been re-
stored it was found that a first-class
coach had been completely wrecked
and that it's occupants were lying
about MANNED and bleeding. Ten of
tie injured We're found to he in pre-
carious condition and We're removed
to hospitals. a number who were
standing on the platform were also
hurt. Much of the wreckage was
hurled ACROSS the station. The cause
OF the explosion is not known, but it is
believed to have been the result of an
accumulation of gas which became
iignited in some way. Many persons,
however. believe that the disaster was
not due to accident. but was caused
by the explosion of Il bomb which had
been placed in the station with the
intention of wrecking it.

Family OF the Dead Hero.

New York. April .@.-Wllen the sun
rose over Manhattan island on the
day Of days in her history of patriotic
pageaGi;; he found an almost cloud,
less dcne Of say awaiting him. The
prayers of a million or more had been
answered. 1t was cool almost cold
anu the few brightly tinted clouds held
no promise of storms. BriSkly blew
the northwest wind and joyfully it
tossed the striped and starry bunting
which from every vantage point in
Greater .>cw York cleaned in Il
beauty al.l a 'Hliliancy no other flag
can equal. Flags there were by the
hundreds of thousands. from the huge
emblem with its fifty-foo; to fly and
fifty of hoist to the ,i,;y emblrms
which decorated the collars of truck
horses. Flags in the great thorough
fares and in the narruwest alleys;
from tent ment windows and on the
statfs of public buildings: from the
stalls of street vendors and the facatlcs
of mighty hostleries and loftier office
buildings; from The spars of merchant
ships and from the bows of the hum
blest of canal boats.
The ceremonies proper began ut sun
rise. when from the tall flag pole near
the tomb was flung the immense
American flag furnished hy the Daugl-
ters Of the Revolution. There it will
fly. night and day. in fair weather and
foul. until the winds lave worn it
away and the suns have faded its col
ors. a the same time the marines on
the warships were pilHd to quarters
and landed Oh shore to stand and re-
ceive the head Of the land column.
Bands were playing cn land and
water; children were singing and
youths were shouting in very joyous
ness Of spirit, for it was agreed on all
sides that the prevailing note should
he joy over the memory of n great man
honOrcd; not SORROW over the death of
a hero.
Scarcely hitch occurred in the
whole arrangements for this great col
ebrati0n. and the arrangements of the
committee from early morn until late
at night met with complete success.
The brisk, cold wind affected those III
the elevated vicinity of the tomb more
than 1t did those in more sheltered and
lower parts of the city. 1t is estimated
that fully 1,OOO.OOO persons watched
for hours the troops that passed in re-
view 1t was such Il gorgeous sight
that no dust. no wind could kill the
enthusiasm of the Onlookelx. many of
whom were compelled to walk out in
the early morning to the park. and the
thousands Of whom came from dis.
tant cities.
