LONDON, oct. S0.-The solicitors of
Winston Spencer Churchill have writ
ten to the solicitors of the Earl of

Churchill, to withdraw or apologize for
Mr.. Churchills statement at the recent

assertions that were nothing short of
falsehoods.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Churchill
wrote to The Daily Mail repudiating the
suggestion that he is moved by per-

pointing out that the earl is response

SHOT INTO CROWD.
Angry Storekeeper Injuries Eight Young
People, but Not Seriously.

HARRISBURG, Oct.2g.-A party OF
seven girls and nine boys from this city
spent Saturday on an island in the
Susquehanna river as the guests Of
DR.. Joseph Klabfus. secretary OF the
state game commission. The party
stopped at the general store of Joseph
Barnett, but not finding what they
wanted they left the store and were
walking along the road when Barnett
came after them. He accused the party
of tramping down his turnips and used
language which the boys resented. This
Seemed to further irritate Barnett and
he shouted to his wife to get his gun.
She is said to have handed out a
double barrelled shotgun, and with this
In his hand the angry storekeeper again
approached the party.
The boys supposed he was trying to
frighten them and standing In the
road with their arms extended three of
them told him to Let 'er CO." He sur
prised them by quickly raising the
gun and firing point blank, using both
barrels. Eight of the young people
were hit with shot. Helen Kalbfus in the
hip; Norma Baker In the foot; Caroline
MCGOWAN in the shoulder; Florence
Snyder in the hip; William Crum in
the face and neck; Walter Spahr in the
face; John Kerper In the legs and
George largest in the foot. All fled to
a place of safety and a surgeon picked
out the shot. Nobody was seriously
hurt

Alvord, Jr., nor his wife, Jennie B. AL
vord, owns any property at Mount
Vernon or in the county of Westches-
:er.
1t was reiterated yesterday that the
stolen money or a greater part of it,
had gone into Wall street, either by di-
rect speculation or by backing a big
bucket shop. 1t was said that Alvord
had taken advantage of certain infor-
nation he derived from private sources
which induced him to speculate in rail-
road securities in which directors Of
the bank were particularly interested.
On this point. however the banks
officers refuse to talk, but one who
knows the banks affairs well said that
II this were the case Alvord must have
made money insted of losing 1t. 1t Is
believed that the bank knows where
the teller's speculations were, and what
they were, but is unwilling to make the
fact public. Thus no one appears to
know whether Alvord had any account,
what bank he used or in what name he
traded, If at all. 1T looks" said a.
bank officer yesterday, 'as though
whatever transactions Alvord may have
had in stock speculation they must
have been conducted IN some other
name" Whether this be so or not 1t
was generally believed that no money
thus lost by Alvord could be recovered
from the brokers acting for him. A
decision of the court Of appeals in the
Kissam- Whitney case governs such
transactions.
Cornelius n. Alvord's three children,
accompanied by their nurse, arrived at

Hi4 simple Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The comp
troller of the currency in speaking Of
Alvord's defalcation said: "A further
examination of Alvord's accounts by
the officers of the bank shows that his
stealings have been going on for sew
eral years. Fourteen months ago he
took two weeks vacation and on ex-
animation of his tickets preceding his
going and after his return shows that
he covered his shortage while absent
by making a number of charges to out
of-town accounts, and credited back
the amounts on his return before the
monthly statements were sent out.
"The amount of his shortage at va
rious periods in the past seems to have
gone up and down, and 1t is probable
this is due to the fact that whenever
he had reason to expect any investiga-
ton of his cash or a periodical visit
from the examiner he would doctor it
by means CT these false charges against
large accounts. In the present in
stance the examiner went into the bank
a month ahead Of the usual six months
period, the last preceding examination
having been made May 10, 1900. and
this unexpected visit prevented a ma
nipulation of the figures by Alvord and
led to discovery Of the defalcation.
This theft could probably have been
prevented by a rotation Of the clerical
force Of the bank, thus placing each
department under the supervision Of
different persons successively.
There is no way to accurately check
the accounts Of an employe If he has
access to the succeeding days cash
from which to make good his shortage
of the current day and this is what AL
word has always had, and hae also the
opportunity to hold back credits for a
longer time than the day on which the
letters enclosing items are received"
