had rented a house near Dunn's, and
under the floor OF one of the rooms had
dug cave In which the kidnapped child

ternoon, but whether damage was done

that IL was simply a break. while the

There have been no additional drown

NO TIDINGs OF MIR. sTEGER.
Whereabouts of the MutuaPs Late
Secretary Not Known.


The announcement made in yesterdays
Dispatch that discrepancies aggregating
over $4,000 had been found in the ac-
counts of Mr.. Frank d. Steger late sec
retary of the Mutual Assurance Society
of Virginia, was received with profound
regret as well as surprise. His friends
were shocked. They could not conceive
that he had defaulteC and they We're
unable 10 account for the use of so much
money by Mr. Steger. He received a
salary Of 5000. and has never been con-
sidered a man of eXtravagant habits.
While his family reside on west Franklin
street the house is rented. not owned by
Mr. Steger. and the rent is moderate.
There is no definite information IS to
the whereabouts of the eX-secretary.
The general impression seems to be that
he has gone TO Canada, but Of this there
is no certainty. Ii has also been re-
ported that before leaving he made
confession that he had used money be
longing to the Mutual. but this was de-
MED by an officer of the society. The
ffil and accurate report of the case.
printed in yesterdays Dispatch gave
all the facts Obtainable in a conserva-
tive manner. and the societys officers
SAID yesterday lhdt lnele Was I'OL4luS
more to be given out for publication
The affairs Of the Mutual are being
thoroughly examined into Experts Were
at work on the books last night. and
il is expected that the Fidelity and
Trust Company Of Maryland, which was
on Mr.. Stegers bond for SIS 600, will
send one Of its accountants down. as
is usual. to go over the society's books.
The Fidelity had only been surety for
Mr. Steger since January j. 1896, when
the Richmond Trust Company that had
hitherto been his guarantor, declined 10
continue the arrangement. 1t is under
stood that the Maryland company can
only be proceeded against for about one
fourth of the amount of their bond, as
that represents the extent Of the appa-
rent discrepancies for 1885, Since MI
Steger's departure from the city on
Monday. his son and daughter, who were
away at school, have been summoned
home. No legal steps have. as yet,
been taken.
