clerk and secretary of the board of edu-
cation, is a self-confessed defaulter in

City Trust & Safety Deposit company of
Philadelphia, who are each his surety for
$4,000, are now endeavoring to find him.
In connection with his position with the

led all the moneys of that office, amount
ing to thousands of dollars annually. All
