Big D.faIcation in New York.

Charles L. Alvord, jr., note teller of the
First National bank of New York city, is a
fugitive from justice and defaulter to the
extent of $70O,0 900. He had been in the
bank 20 years and was one Of the most
trusted employees No suspicion was di
rected toward him until 10 days ago. After
he had been absent a day or two experts
were put at work who soon discovered ir-
Irregularities, and as they went deeper and
deeper the extent of the defalcation be-
came apparent. Alvord had charge of the
mail of the bank, and as he opened letters
he had an opportunity to take out checks,
drafts and money, but he had to be very
skillful to mske his accounts balance. His
stealings extend over a long term of years.
1t is said that large amount Of the missing
money went into stock speculation, and Al
word lost $75, 900 on one deal He lived at
Mount Vernon, where his family entertain
ed lavishly and gave large sums to charity.
In New York he was known as a man Of
very regular habits, but there is a story
that he cut a big figure this summer at
Saratoga, where he rented a cottage, kept
a fine stable, played the races, frequented
gambling houses and spent money freely.
The bank, which is one of the strongest in
situations in New York city, will stand the
strain of the loss.

sudden Death OF the Popular Author
and Ess yis,, and One OF ths owners
OF the Hartford Coursnt.
Charles Dudley Warner, the popular
author and essayist and one of the owners
of the Hartford Courant, died suddenly in
Hartford Saturday. Mr.. Warner was born
in Plainfield, Mass, Sept. 10, 1929, of good
Puritan stock. His father died when he
was only five years old, and he went to live
with an uncle in Charlemont II was there
that the incidents and scenes occurred
which are pictured in that charming auto
biographical story for young people, Be
ing a Boy" Mr.. Warner had the adj
vantages of college education, graduating
from Hamilton in 1851. On account Of i'll
health he spent some time in surveying in
the West but afterward studied law in tue
University of Pennsylvania, and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1866. He practiced
law in Chicago four years, and then went
to the Hartford, Conn, Press as assistant
editor. The following year be became

ed with the Courant in 1867 and Mr.. War
ner became co-editor of that paper with
his old college friend, Gen. Joseph r. Haw-
ley, for many years United States senator
from Connecticut.
Mr.. Warmers high place in literature
was achieved largely because of his excel
lent work in Journalism. He was a keen
and shrewd observer, an independent
thinker, a graceful and scholarly writer
and humorist. His journalistic writing,
even when it was most perfunctory, had
much Of the permanent quality of literature.
His first, his most noted, his most charac-
teristic book "My Summer in a Garden"
(1970), had been previously published as q
series Of papers in the Courant. So had
been "Saunterings" Cs72), and Backlog
Studies CS72). So were most Of his
inimitable travel essays such as bad
deck and That Sort of Thing" r674)
and "My Winter on the Nile" and tin the
Levant" (1876) But Mr.. Warner also did
much independent literary work. His life
of Washington Irving in the "Americau
Men of Letters" series (of which series Of
was the general editor) is capital piece he
biography and criticism. His two novels
of New York life "a Little Journey in the
World" (lSS9) and 1.-THE Golden House
(18g4) have also considerably added to his
fame as an all.round man of letters
From 1884 to 1892 Mr.. Warner conducted

Final Decision I'm the Boston subway
Explosion Cases.

March 4, 1897, subway explosion at the
corner of fremont and Boylston streets,
Boston, Mass, killed six persons and hurt
&c. A test case was made. Wolf Koplan,
bootblack, brought an action against the
Boston Gaslight company, the Boston Elec-
trio Light company, the Bay State Gas
company, the Edison Electric Light COM
pany, the Metropolitan Construction com
pany and the West End Street Railroad
company, laying his damages at $40, 900.
The trial lasted six weeks. The jury found
the Boston Gaslight company solely respon-
sible for the explosion, and awarded the
plaintiff $4,000 damages. The company
took an appeal, and now the supreme judi
cial court of Massachusetts, decides that
not one of the exceptions" amounts to
anything. The trial Judge committed no
error in mis- rulings, the justices say, and
the company must pay the bootblack.
This decision in the test case means busy
times for the company's lawyers in effect.

papers say that the claims of the other per-

Airship as Big ms an Ocean steamer.

1t appears to be fact that Count Won
Zeppelin has at last succeeded in perfectinP
ing airship, or dirigible balloon, which can
be kept afioat for an indefinite period and
can be steered at will against or with the
wind. 1t is, however, an immense affair,
as large as many an ocean steamer, and az
its success depends largely on the carrying
of large quantity of gas, there does not
seem to be much hope that others can be
built on the same principle of a size small
enough for private cnnveyances, which
will greatly diminish the usefulness of the
invention. There is plenty of room in the
air, but the machines must come down to
earth occasionally, and then there will be
difficulty in finding berths for such un-
wieldy monsters, besides which, the cost Of
such enormous machines must be almost
prohibitory.

that in the nsighboring counties there is
not one house in 100 that was not either
totally destroyed or badly injured" The
reports of the department of agriculture
from the rural districts in Texas show that
the loss to the cotton and corn crops, other
products and live stocks will exceed So :
