 sic, N. Y., Last Night.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 14.-Mr. and Mrs. John Davis, who started from New York yesterday to make the trip to San Francisco in an automobile, arrived here at 7:45 this evening, having covered only fifty miles of their journey since early morning, and having passed an eventful day of little mishaps and de- lays.

 the books correctly, but when the re-
 turns from the cashiers checks came he
 pocketed the difference between the stub
 and the check Four or five months of
 this method of financiering depleted the
 banks reserve monies and brought it
 to the verge of ruin. Then the cashier l evidently secured portion of the ready

 New York city, returned to Perth Am boy from Woodbridge, accompanied by l his counsel, Edward Savage of Rah- way. He declined to go into details about the shortage of the bank, except to say that he was very sorry that he l got his friends into trouble and that he | felt very bad about his wife and chill | dren.
 | President Watson is of the opinion that the cashiers defalcation will amount to at least $125,000. Where the money went to is not known, as the cashier is said to have been moderate in his tastes and habits of life He was something of a dog fancier and some of his prize animals have taken premiums at New York, but even in this particular his expenditures are not believed to have been eXtravagant.
 Robert N. Valentine, the cashiers father, has long been connected with both the state and savings banks, He is member of the firm of N. G. Val entine & So. of Woodbridge, fire clay brick dealers The cashier was for years clerk in the Park National bank of New York In 1893 he was made cashier of the Middlesex County bank. He bond was fixed at $50,000. His rel atives are wealthy, and it is said they will endeavor to make good the short age Mrs. Valentine and her children, who had been spending the summer at Ocean Grove, have returned to the home of her husbands father at Wood bridge Mrs. Valentine is said to be completely prostrated because of the event. The Park National bank of this city has obtained an attachment in the supreme court for $31 ,50826 against the Middlesex County bank of Perth Am boy, N. J., $90,2O5.35 on overdrafts and $1,302.91 due on collections. The at tachment was granted by Justice Stow CT of the supreme court. Deputy Sher- if Mcclure attached mining stocks and bonds belonging to the bank at the office of the Park National bank.
 President Watson late tonight gave out a statement in which he said that the Perth Amboy Savings institution was in perfectly sound condition and had lost only about $7,000, which is full ly covered by the surplus of $2O,00O. The total loss by reason of the Valentine defalcations has not been fully com puted but the estimate given tonight by the examiner places it at about $125,0O0. The securities of the savings part of the bank were found intact in the safe deposit vaults of the Park Ma tional bank in New York to which the cashier had access.
