Its Discovery Led Richard Cornelius
to Suicide.
The intimation in a special dispatch from
Baltimore to The Star yesterday that the
bcdy Of Richard Cornelius. cashier of the
National Farmers and Planters Bank, had
been found in lake in Druid Hill Park,
proved upon investigation to be we'll found
ed. Saturday last the attention of the bank
officers was called by the bank examiner
country bank. for which the National
Farmers and Planters Bank was corre-
spondent, and the officers Immediately be-
gan a quiet Investigation of the cashier q
accounts. Enough was discovered to con-
vince them that that official had used the
banks funds. and 1t was decided to call
Mr.. Cornelius to account
When Mr.. Cornelius arrived at the bank
yesterday he was summoned before the
board of directors to explain the Irregular
tiles that had been discovered in his ac-
counts. and which were then under con-
sideration by the board. Mr.. Cornelius it
is understood, claimed that he could make
satisfactory statement, and he was al
lowed to go into another part of the bank
to get a certain paper. He did not return,
and after the lapse of some time the direct
ors ascertained that he had left the build
ing. Detectives were notified and his body
was found in duck pond in the park.
1t will be some time before Bank Examin-
er Winchester, assisted by PHILADELPHIA ex-
perts, will be able to give the exact amount
of the defalcation. Mr.. Winchester thinks
$4,000 a liberal estimate.
In addition to other positions of trust in
church matters, Mr.. Cornelius was treas
urer Of the Methodist Preachers Aid So
ciety, the assets of which were about s12J-
Geo when last examined by the society's
committee, January 3, 1896, when all was
found correct.
Mr.. Cornelius was one of the Oldest and
best known bank cashiers in Baltimore, and
his acquaintance among bankers extended
throughout the country. He was of a
cheerful disposition. and was prominent in
religious circles, and was also largely in
terested in building associations in Balti-
more.
During the life of the late Enoch Pratt,
the philanthropist, he was one of that
gentleman's most intimate friends, and
probably knew more about Mr. Pratt's pri-
vate interests than any other man in Balti-
more.
For many years Mr.. Cornelius had been
one of the most prominent Methodists in
Baltimore. At his death he was a local
preacher Of the Baltimore conference pres
ident OF the City Missionary and Church
Grove association, one of the trustees of
the Baltimore annual conference, and a
member of the official board of Madison
Avenue Church.
Mr.. Cornelius began his career with the
National Farmers and Planters Bank for
ty-two years ago as, messenger boy, and
worked his way up to the position Of CASH
ier. Until Saturday there had never been
even a suspicion against his integrity He
was never known to speculate, and lived
very frugally.

National Building Council.


National Building Council.
Referring to the proposition, which has
been promulgated from ST. Louis, relative
TO the formation of National Building
Trades Council, President Milford Spohn
of the Central Labor Union. this city. says:
do not believe a national organization
OF the building trades possible or feasible
Every trade represented i'm the Building
Trades Council of this city, as also in St.
Louis, are attached to a national organi-
zat1on OF the craft. and have. fher efore,
all the benefits of national affiliation that
could possibly accrue from the organization
contemplated.
IF a national body composed exclusively
OF the building trades should be formed
1t would be subordinate to the national
organization Of the crafts composing the
body, and would be SO limited in turisdic-
tion that the game would not be worth
usurp the functions of the national organi-
zation there would be a conflict, which
would be highly demoralizing.
Under present conditions Tie trades
through the national organizations, are af-
filiated throughout the country, and
through that channel the exact condition
Of the building trades in every city can be
ascertained whenever desired. The national
the condition of trade and perform all the
duties contemplated by those who favor
this national organization of building
trades.
hc loCdi CouucllS VI tHeSe traces are
all that is necessary, as 1t is only possible
for them to deal with local conditions.
This is consistent with trades union au-
tonomy, and no organization in Washing
ington would consent that a national body
in st. Louis or elsewhere should infringe
upon their local prerogatives.
1T is also very doubtful If the assistance
promised the trades in time Of trouble by
this affiliation would compensate for the
trouble which would result from such an
organization. 1t would create an additional
faction, and perhaps lead to unpleasant
complications. The unification of all the
forces of labor should be the desired OBJ
ject, and not a division into factions with
self-interested leaders, whose principal
business in the past has been TO engender
strife and involve labor In an endless
