L. AlvOrd. Alvord has been in the
employ of the bank for something like
twenty years and has always enjoyed
good reputation. just how long his
defalcatiOns had been carried on or in
just what manner the bank officers had
not learned to-day, or if they had learn
ed they were very careful not to say so.
The announcement, which was made
lust about the close Of business, created
no less surprise than interest in Wal
street, as the First National Bank is
one of the last banks in which such
misfortune would have been looked for.
1t is also one of the banks which would
feel even a three-quarter million theft
the least.
The defalcation is the biggest in the
history of the street, according to a
statement made down town to-day.
The bank of the Manhattan Company
was robbed by defaulter Of about
$16S, 900 and the Phoenix National
Bank of about $500, 900. Samuel G. See
ley got 1854 900 from the Shoe and

body ever came there to tell US that
we were free. Marse Crowder had
about 70 colored people working for
him. II we tried to get past the
p atrollers they would catch US and
take US back to the master and We
would get whipping. One day
last week my wife didn't pick her
share of cotton because she wasn't
feeling very well, and the negro
driver gave her terrible beating.
He whipped her till the clothes stuck
to her back. That made US mad and
we planned to run away. Twelve of
us were in the party"
Crowder and his wife's daughter
arrived here at l o'clock yesterday.
Steve McCorkle, one of the leading

1t is estimated that the United

i'd development Of fruit industries,
such as the growing of oranges and
lemons, peaches and grapes. AS u
nation We eat more fruit than any
other, and grow considerably more
than We eat. E ghty millions of do
lars a year is the figure for strawber-
ries alone. A hundred millions
would scarcely cover the value of ali
grapes marketed. Peaches we raise
in astonishing quantities, in orchards
containing as many as three hun
dred thousand trees, but our banner
crop, so far as fruit is concerned, is
apples. We have produced as many
as 2l0, 100000 barrels in a single sea.
son. and have sold as high as three
million barrels to England alone.
Ships weigh anchor in New York,
three at a time, in q single week,
bearing apples to Europe. Indeed,
it is one Of the greatest industries
the country has ever witnessed and
promises to take rank as the chief
fruit crop of the world.
