BABE HIM GOD SPEED
Lieut.. Plummer Surrounded
By Old Comrades at
Union Depot.

Lieutenant William H. Plummer of
the Twenty-s United States vol
unteers was given royal send-off by
his friends yesterday afternoon, when
he left to report at Plattsburg Bar
racks. N. Y. The train shed at the
Union depot was crowded with his
friends and members of the City
Guards. who gathered there to bid him
godspeed and wish him well in his
new field. When the farewells were
said. and as the train was pulling out
of the depot, the trainshed echoed with
the old. familiar cry of the City Guards.
AT the depot were the members of
Lieut.. Plummer's family, his father,
joseph Plummer, and his two sisters
the Misses Clara and Anna Plummer,
and his brother, Nelson Plummer. His
mother was feeling so badly over his
departure that she was unable to see
her son off at the depot.
Among the City Guardsmen at the
station were Sergeant Walter H ALI
son. Sergeant E. r. Reid, ex-Sergeant
J. 9. Gowans, Walter Burkhardt, las.
Bieberbach, Julius Lowell and wife,
David Gowans, Walter Lewis, J. 7.
Cruikshanks, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Guertin. William Mcpherson, James
Fox, John Manifold, Walter Schoheld,
Herbert Ballou, William Fairbanks.
The officers OF the City Guards were
not able to be present, as they hod
to attend the meeting of the officers of
the Second regiment in Springfield. The
lieutenant has been presented innu-
merable articles by his Worcester ad-
mirers. James Fox gave him a couple
boxes of cigars yesterday. Lieut.. Lucke
has presented him a gold regimental
watch charm. His sister, Miss Clara
Hummer, and his brother-in-law
George Guertin, gave him a dress suit
case. and the officers of Company A
have given remembrance in the shape
of an officers trunk.
The boys in the company are not tc
he outdone. and already have started
subscription among his friends Will
view of presenting him a purse OF
money. They are circulating the paper
amongst the City Guards, the Red Mer
and others who are intimately acquain-
ted with the lieutenant, and it looks
now as though they would be able to
present him a purse of at least 5000.

New ork, July 14.-George M. Valen-
Bank of Perth Anboy, N. j., which
was closed this morning, surrendered
himself late today and is now in Jail on
account of shortage in the banks
funds, which has been estimated as
high as $4,000.
The affair caused CONSERVATION
among the business men of the conser-
vative old town of Perth Amboy, where
the Middlesex County Bank was con-
sidered as strong as the hills. When it
was learned that the Middlesex County
Bank had failed to open for business
crowds surrounded the Perth Amboy
savings institution. The officers of the
Middlesex County Bank and the officers
of the Perth Amboy Savings Institu-
ton are identical, the business of both
banks having been transacted over the
same counters. Hence to those not fa4
miliar with banking details the sus-
pension at the offices of the one bank
seemed to presage the downfall of the
other institution.
1t became necessary to call upon the
police to maintain order u. B. Wat
son, the president of both banks, stated
that the funds of the Perth Amboy
Savings Institution, were not touched,
that the 100000 deposited to the ac-
count of the savings institution was
absolutely safe, and that no matter
how badly the Middlesex County Bank
had been attacked the savings bank
would be able to meet all demands
made upon it by depositors. These
words of assurance had the effect of
checking the run on the bank during
the afternoon, though all day long
crowds in the vicinity of the bank
watched proceedings with the greatest
interest.
The notice posted on the door of the
Middlesex County Bank this morning
was as follows: Bank closed. In the
hands of banking department"
Monday last, Cashier George M. Val
entine evidently concluded that he
could no longer conceal the shortage
at the Middlesex County bank Mon
day morning he telephoned President
Watson that he was detained, but he
explained that he would return at
noon. The bank had then opened for
business and Mr.. Watson, who was
taking the absent cashiers place, dis
covered that there should have been
some $500 in bills on hand to com
could not find this money in the vault
This was the money carried over from
Saturday to commence with on Mon lay
morning.
Mr.. Watson had been searching for
it when Valentine called up. He asked
Valentine where this money was and
was told it had been placed in the
cashiers drawer. Mr.. Watson re-
marked that that was no place for it,
but rang off on the telephone and went
to get it, A duplicate key to the drawer
indicated was obtained and the drawer
opened, but no money could be found
Robert N. Vaneltine, the cashiers IA
Their. was summoned, and he aideG Il
hte search for the missing money. II
could not be found, and finally the
work of checking was begun. Then Il
became evident that during the last
few months the accounts of the bank
had been juggled. The other trustees
were summoned, and the banking de-
partment was notified to send an ex-
an1iner. Deputy Commissioner o.
Banking Johnson appeared in 3

BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Carriages Precipitated Into
a Cellar But No One
Was Hurt.

An old building used by Harrington
Bros on Central street, the stable
keepers, as storehouse for carriages
collapsed yesterday afternoon about 4
O'Clock, and about $4,000 worth of car
riages were buried beneath the pile of
debris.
At the time the building collapsed
luckily no one was inside, although ear
lier in the day eight men were working
on the second floor, which is partly
used as a paint shop, in hauling out
wagons.
Oliver Reliveau, a painter employed
by Harrington Bros, was on the sec
ond story at the time the accident hap
pened, but received a warning that
something was going to happen, by a
creaking noise and motion under his
feet that made him think he was
aboard boat.
The men on the lower floor of the
building were not aware at the time
that it was about to collapse, and the
first intimation they had of 1t was when
a prop in the centre of the first floor
dropped out of sight and the second
floor and roof came down with a
smash. Carriages were turned every
which way, and the exact amount of
damage done could not be ascertained
at the time. AS soon as the building
fell, Capt. H. r. Williamson was called
down to look it over The building is
owned by A. +. Richardson.

Kearns of Boston
Knocks Out DAILY
in Twelve.
DELAWARE WONDER OUTCLASSED.
Winner Will Meet Frank
Erne For Lightweight
Belt.

Ne'v York, July 14.-Tim Kearns of
Boston knocked the wind out of Jack
Daily of Wilmington, Del, in less than
twelve rounds before the Broadway
Athletic club tonight. Kearns is now
entitled to meet the lightweight cham
pion Frank Erne, Of Buffalo, and the
latter's manager, Jim Kennedy, who
sat at the ringside during the contest,
said that undoubtedly Kearns would
have the call over all others to tackle
Frank for the championship as soon as
Erne returned from Europe in the fall
Kearns and DAILY met for a % round
bout at 1877 pounds. Johnny White of
this city was the referee, and the boys
boxed strictly under the Marquis of
Queensberry rules, Both of them We're
cautious, frequently holding, but the
Delaware man was the more guilty of
the two in this respect.
In the first three rounds DAILY
showed to good advantage, having the
advantage of height and reach. Kearns
| played for the body, and each time he
landed DAILY WINGED and jumped away.
DAILY tried to keep his opponent at arm S
length with his left and attempted to
| throw his right across almost stimuli
taneously, but Kearns got inside the
| leads or went to close quarters to avoid
| Days right. A hard right smash from
DAILY cut KernS' left eye in the fourth
round. In the fifth a left iab split
| Kearns' right eyebrow.
| No sooner had the blood trickled
| down Kearns' face than he shot his left
| to Days right optic and cut it just
| as severely. DAILY became exasperated
and went for his man with both hands,
beating him to the floor. Kearns got
up and at close quarters pummeled
DAILY hard and fast, weakening the lat
| ter so that the bell saved him from
| going under. Neither man evidently
| heard the bell, and the referee had to
| separated them with a. good deal of
| force.
| DAILY was very weak as he came up
for the 18th, and he got all the worst
of the argument. Kearns forced the
| fighting in the 18th.
| DAILY broke ground, with Kearns fol-
lowing him closely. Kearns bored in
with body blows, and DAILY was forced
to clinch repeatedly. DAILY backed into
his corner, where Kearns threw his left
| into the stomach and quickly brought
1t up with an uppercut on chin, floor
ing Daily
Jack fell fat on his back and then
| began to sQuirm all over the canvas
floor, making futile attempts to get up.
Many of the spectators thought that
| 1T was a case of quit on Days part,
but Kearns' last blow landed with such
| terrific force that most of the experts
who saw it land claimed that DAILY was
knocked out fair and square. Time of
round, I'm. ISIS.
In the preliminaries, Tommy Feltz
of Brooklyn got the decision over Terry
| Edwards of the same borough, after
| a ten-round go at 103 pounds
Johnny Regain and young Horney,
both of Brooklyn, fought ten rounds at
catch weights, and Regain, who had the
advantage of at least ten pounds, was
declared winner after the bout had gone
the limit,

A TOWN SENSATION.
Clinton Is Exultant
Over a Choice Bit
of Scandal.
MAN AND WOMAN DISAPPEAR.
Friends of Both Say There
Is No Significance But
the Curious Talk.
MAN AND WOMAN DISAPPEAR.

Clinton, July 14.-This town is stirred
by the absence of two of it's once known
people. They are Martin Ball, who
left his home at 1 River street, Sunday
morning, and Mrs. William Council,
who left the home of her husband on
Oak street, Saturday, and has not
returned.
There is nothing to show that they
left town together, but this morning,
according to the story told by Michael
Ball, brother of Martin Ball. a
stranger called upon Martins father
and told him that Martin and Mrs. Con-
nell had gone off together.
Michael Ball said that in his opinion
his brother is not with Mrs. Council.
He says that two weeks before Mrs.
Council left her home she told the
reighbors she was going to leave her
husband, and subsequently told her
husband the same story, adding that
he would never see her again.
Cornell is well known in Clinton. He
is ball player, and formerly no Clin-
ton team was considered complete if
he was not behind the bat. Mrs. Con-
nell's maiden name was Della O'Malley
She is young woman of progressing
appearance. She enjoys a good repu-
tation, and is respected by everybody.
Martin Ball is brother of Austin
Ball, also well-known ball player.
In an interview with a representative
of The Spy, this evening, Michael Ball
said:
Il do not know where my brother has
gone. 1 have been told that he went
away with a woman, but l do not be-
lieve it. He has been working steadi-
~ for year and half, and must have
had plenty of money"
Ball is about 80 years old. Mrs. Con-
nell is about 25.
Her friends express the opinion that
she will return all right. The story of
the absence of Mrs. Cornell and Martin
Ball has created a sensation.

Collapse.

Chicago, July IA special to the
Record from Anderson, Ind, says: The
$50, 900, 900 bicycle trust, which has been
all but completed went to pieces today
according to information received here.
The eastern bankers floating the con-

final consolidation.
The leaders in the proposed trust
were the Gormully & Jeffrey Mfg. Co.
of Chicago, the Western Wheel Works
of Chicago and the Indiana Wheel Co.,
three of the largest in the nation.
Spalding, the base ball and bicycle
man, who has been promoting the or
ganization and was about to close it, is

trolled about so per cent of the output
and almost all supplies.
