Booi<NEEPER AND DEPosIToR.
The BooLI<ceper Failed to Return

positcr Was Arrested.

Nashville, Tenn, November 12.-The
arrest of T. P Brady upon Federal
warrant sworn out by f. o. Watts, cash
Ter Of the First National bank has stirred
up sensation in Nashville The firm
of Conner & Brady, composed OF j. NJ.
Brady, Wholesale grooers and liquor
dealers, made an assignment today and
the arrest of Brady followed. In this
connection the disappearance last July

OF the First National bank is explained.
The two are charged with collusion ia de-
lraudIng the bank out of $4,000. 1t APP

tion Of his two weeks rest failed to re-
turn 10 his desk. Lea had been a trust
ed emplOye OF the institution for u pc
Rod extending over twenty-five years
aud his failure to return upon the date
set caused little concern among the bank
officials, but as the days rolled on with
out tidngs from the missing bookkeeper
they commenced an investigation OF his
bank affairs. 1t was discovered that the
account of Brady & Conner was wrong
and experts We're put to work
NJ was found that false entries aggre
eating $4,000 had been made by the book
keeper n the accounts of this firm, ex-
tending over a period Of Ave years over
$3.50 of this amount had been frat
dulently obtained since May l, 1898, up TO
the date of Lea's disappearance. The
work was carried on by Lea by increasing
the amounts OF the firms deposits on the
journals OF the institution and decreas ng
the amount of the checks drawn by the
firm against the bank. following this
transaction with false eXtensi n balances
According TO the books it Is alleged

date make an entry upon wnich the bank
would be detrauded OF a certain sum OF
money. BY CREATING this scheme IL is
alleged that the two men drew from the
bank $o6 600 in cash. but through the sys-
lem of entries hal paid back through the
fl ms account he sum of $12 600, leay-

is Remarkable and Their Energy Is
Wonderful.
.tY[RY FARM A STORE HOUSE FOR THEM
Arc Fighting Like Men who Have
Nothing Left to Live For and Are
Resolved To Die Game.
Y FARM A STORE HOUSE FOR THEM

New York, November 12.--The Tribune's
London cable says:
Details of the engagements in the
Transvaal show that the Beers are fight
ing with remarkable courage and en-
ergy. The Beers are losing men day by
day. but now thaa they are broken up
into small bands and almost without ar
tillery or transport they have marked
facilities for carrying on guerrilla war
fare and are persistent in keeping up a
hopeless struggle While they carry lit
tie food with them, every farm is a
tain supplies and fresh horses. How
they contrive to obtain supplies OF am
munitlon is mystery, Their stubborn
ness in refusing to yie.d TO the British
can not be explained by the illusions of
Mr. Kruger's mission to Europe. They
are lighting like men who have nothing
left to live for and are resolved TO die
game. While this final exhibition of
genuine Dutch courage commands Bd ish
respect, there is no turning back from the
relentless pursuit OF the scattered bands.
Sir Alfred Miner has sounded fresh
warning against sedition in Cape Colony
and the military critics at home are cry
ing aloud for Kitchener and scientific
measures of dealing with the guerrlllas.
As the Beers can not continue the strug-
gle without obtaining food, horses, arms
and recruits, rigorous policies are advo-
Gated by which they may be virtually
Isolated starved out and run to ear h.
One of the military journals suggests
that every fresh recruit from Natal and
Cape Colony caught with arms in his
hands should be tried by courtmartisl
and shot. Other suggestions are that
every enemy found in British uniform
or making foul use OF the white flag or
red cross should be hanged. Il is also
urged that the districts must be swept
of any cattle horses and sheep; that
farm houses must be burned and the
ssditious population emp!srd so that the
raiders will be unable to carry on their
war. General Kitchener is expected to
do all these things since mild measures
have been tried without effect
The Beers on their side are reverting
to real campaigning, and are abandoning
train wreckmg ana maraudng operations,
so that the application Of stern measures
by General Kitchener will seem less JUS
tihable. The last stage of the war is
deplorable from every point OF view, and
the campaign as whole is a sorry sequel
to the peace congress at The Hague.

VOTE or THE COUNTRY.
Figures of the Electoral Vote and
pOpmInr PIurnIlties.

New York, November 1O.-Returns re-
ceved at the National political head
quarters here up to tonight snow that
Mckinley has 2s4 electoral votes certain
and Bryan 1856 votes, with the eight votes
OF Nebraska in doubt. McKinley's plu-
rality, counting Nebraska democratic, is
12l, and il the full returns should show
Nebraska TO be republican his plurality
would be 1871
An impression seems to have gotten
around that this is the largest plurality
OF the electoral vote ever received by d
candidate for the presidency. Such Is
far from the case. There have been a
number OF instances in American poli-
tics where candidates have surpassed
this II McKinleys majority OF the pop
ular vote foots up to 500, Goa, as seems
probable, Il Will break the record in that
respect, though other candidates have re-
ceived proportionately larger pluralitles

Some of the Wen Are Ont, hut There
Is No Strike.
Galveston. Texas, November l2.-The
telephone strike here is still on. or at
lesst some OF the men are svill out,
whether it be called strike or some
other name. There is, however, mis-
understanding about the matter among
the strikers.
President l.. Richardson OF the local
Union of Electrical Workers says that
the walkout was unconstitutional, and
that there is no strike.
Acting President Rawlings OF the local
union said today that the strike OF the
Brotherhood OF Electrical Workers is on
and is gCing TO stay on until called OIL
by Third Vice President r. K. Trip
Rawlings states that a telegram was re-
ceived from Trip asking the Galveston
men to 90 out. The master was laid be-
fore local union No. 1853, and the vote to
strike was unanimous.
Manager Smelling Il the telephone ex-
change said this evening that twelve OF
the men VINO went out Saturday had re-
poNed for duty today, and that the COM
pahy was not suffering very much on ac-
count of the strike here.
