4 SHORTAGE OF SIS, ,O0O.
Experts Examination of Ex-Tax Col-
 Iector's Accounts In HolyOke.

Springfield, Mass, Oct. 19.-At meeting of the finance committee of the Holyolle city government this after noon Mr. Estes, the expert accountant employed to examine the books of ex- Tax Collector Keough, made partial report showing an apparent deficiency of about $11S,000. MT. Estes reported that he had examined the books for 1895, 1896 and 1897 and that according to the tax collectors books there was unpaid taxes amounting to $l6S42 in 1895, $93,959 in 1886 and S165,S63 in 1897, a total of $275, 164. According to the city treasurer's ledger the outstanding taxes for the different years were 1895, $17 O63; 1896, $1oO,17O; and 1897, $l52, 4oS- total of $269,641.
 MT. Estes stated that in examining the books he found many eases in which credits had evidently been made in lead pencil and then erased. The | amount represented by these marks was about S11S, ,000. He then exhibited to the committee a check for $4,002 drawn on the City National bank by the George c. Gill Paper company in payment for it's 1897 taxes, which was endorsed by MT Keough as tax collec- tor and which had also passed through the city treasurer's hands but for which there was no credit on the tax | collectors books. He also cited an 1 item of $500 interest paid by the same concern for which no corresponding credit appeared on the books Another instance of absence of credit was the case of the Deane Steam Pump conn., pany, the tax collectors books showing an unpaid balance of $700 in 1896 taxes and no credits for it's 1897 taxes MT. Estes said he had seen the checks gfv- en in payment of these taxes, which ara now in possession of the Manu- facturers Trust company.

FIVE KILLED, E1EYEN WOUNDED.
Explosion ofCoal Gas in Pennsylvania
 ColIaery.

Tamaqua, Pa, Oct. 13,-Five men were killed and eleven injured today by an explosion of gas in colliery Mo- 8 at Coaldale, near here. The dead are:
 Fire Boss Thomas Smith.
 William R. Reese.
 Matis Clark.
 William Cook.
 John Coonicka. .......
 Coonicka died after he had been taken from the mine, but the others met instant death. All were marrie d and leave large families. The most seriously injured are:
 William Lawton, badly burned; James Burns, leg broken; James Walter burned about head; James Powell, shoulder broken Evan Raynor, seriously burned about face and body; Daniel Dorian, leg broken; Reese Price, badly burned; Patrick O'Donne1l, burned about the body; John Gallagher, ner- vous shock,
 The colliery is the largest producer of four in that valley owned by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company. It has a capacity of over 100000 tons of coal and employs 800 hands In conse- quence of fire which originated in the
  ago shifts of men were put to work driving holes from the gangway through which water was to be forced upon the flames. While the men were building dam to back up the water this afternoon the gangway caught fire Nearly a hundred thousand gall Ions of water was turned into the holes and almost instantly terrific explo- sion occurred, followed in quick suc- cession by four lighter explosions. The gangway was torn up for over thirty five feet and the workmen were blown about in all directions. Rescue gangs were put to work and an hour later it was thought that all the dead and in jured had been found, although the search was under way tonight while the fire was still burning. The supposi- tion is that the great body of water sent into the holes forced volumes of escaping gas from some of the old | workings back up on the flames, caus- lng the explosion.

Washington, Oct. 13.--Mr. Lyons, the registrar of the treasury, has re- ceived a letter from James Hill, collec- tor of internal revenue at Jackson, Miss, in which he makes an appeal for aid in behalf of the several thousand colored people there who are unable to obtain work, the letter says: Nearly all the white people have left the city. We have at least four thousand or five thousand colored people in the city and from 2,50O to 5000 have to be fed by charity. The city is strictly quaEan- tined.

Steamship Advices From the Republic

Steamship Advtces From the Republic
 of San Salvador.
 San Francisco, Oct. 13.-The steamer City of Panama has arrived from South American ports. The vessel brings news of horrible cruelties practiced upon the people of San Salvador. Referring to the execution of prisoners, Fl Clarion says that at Armenia, small city of the republic Los Vezea De Izalio, a prominent citizen, was shot, while Don Angel Vasquez and Don Delfin Barrios died in prison as the result of cruelties on the part of General Alvaro. In the police station Don Venanzio Salazar and Don Jesus Valdes were triced up by the thumbs and Colonels Don Ser vando and Don Virgilio Valencia were shot. These officers had distinguished themselves in the army under the regi- me of the president.
 The article in Fl Clarion also asserts that twenty women have been expelled from Salvador, among them the wife of Don Macario Martinez, one of the most prominent citizens of Salvador City. Furthermore, under the direction Of General Villiegas, five persons were shot in San Pedro, while at San Miguel many were executed. It appears also that the editor of El Latijo, journal of Salvador, incurred the displeasure of the government owing to publication in defense of certain students. For his offense he was publicly whipped, as also was the judge who rendered a de- cision in favor of the students

THOMAS c. PLATES BANK CLOSED. Embezzlement of $2O,OOO by Late As-
 sistant Cashier Stone.

Washington, Oct 1s.-Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the currency, to-day wired the cashier of the Tioga National bank of Owego, N. Y., of which Senator T. c. Platt is president, to close the doors of the institution, re- ceive no more deposits and transact no more business, stating that he had placed c. E. Van Brocklin, national bank examiner, in charge of the bank. This action was taken by the comp troller as result of the recent examin- alton by Examiner Van Brocklin, which disclosed large dedication on the part of Eli W. Stone, the assistant cashier of the bank. Assistant Cashier Stone died at his home Wednesday night, shortly after he had been con- fronted by the examiner with the de- falcation. He confessed his guilt to the examiner. The examiner reports that from as careful an examination of the books of the bank as he has been able to make, there is no evidence whatever of any complicity on the part of the other officers of the bank. The defal- cation occurred through the manipula- tion of the individual deposit ledger by the assistant cashier, who acted as re- ceiving teller. It is understood that the peculations of the assistant cashier covered about twenty years, small amounts being taken at a time This was made possible by Stone acting at times as both receiving teller and indi- vidual bookkeeper.
 Owego, N. Y, Oct. 13.-It is said that the late assistant cashier, Eli w. Stone, of the Tioga National bank, of which Senator Platt is president, and which has been closed by order of the comptroller of the currency, confessed to the bank examiner and others that during the past twenty years he had embedded s20,0O0.Th bank affairs are being examined tonight as thoroughly as possible to ascertain the whole truth of the affair. Senator PIatt's brother, Frederick B. Platt, is cashier of the bank. The latter has been so feeble for years that the actual duties of the cashiers office had fallen upon MT. Stone.
 The deficit affects simply the stock holders of the bank. The creditors will be paid in full. The capital stock was s1eo,Qoo and the surplus $5O,OO0.
