Members of Bachelors Club Give
Social and Dance.

For nine years it has been the GUS
tom of the members of the Bachelors
club in this city to hold dance every
winter.
The club was at one time flourish
ing organization, but gradually one by
one the members have been sending in
their designations, paying their fines
and going into the ranks of the bene-
diets, until now Alex Hanton is the
only member left.
A few weeks ago the ex-members
got together and organized commit
tee to get up dance. The commit
tee performed their task most accep-
tably and the private ball with 35
couples in the X. of p. hall was a
grand success. Music was furnished
by Bruce Isabelle's orchestra. Dur.
ing the intermission refreshments OF
sandwiches, coffee and cake were
served.
The committee in charge were

New York, Feb. 17.-Roland B.

The prisoner slept sound and awoke
realizing apparently with no fear the

at court. The general, in reply to the
inquiry as to whether he would accept
the proposed fund to be raised by his
friends to defray the expenses of the
trial, declared: "Absolutely under no
circumstances would accept such a
thing"
Weeks moved for new trial on the
grounds the principal of which being
that the verdict was contrary to law,

WILL NOT COME BACK.
Expected the Defaulter Moore Will
Remain Safe in Chill.

Boston, Feb. 16.-The probabilities
are that the efforts to secure the eX-
tradition from Chill of Frederick Il.
Moore, the defaulting assistant teller
of the National Bank Of Commerce,
will end in failure, according to the
belief of Horatio N. Allin, counsel for
Moore.
Mr.. Allin asserts that there is a
strong popular feeling against the ex-
tradition of Moore. In the first place
there is no treaty of eXtradition be-
tween this country and Chilli, so that
the surrender of the fugitive would
be matter of courtesy and nothing
more. More than that, it is in evil
dence there that Moore's father, on
two or three different occasions,
offered to make good any defalcation
which the books of the bank would
show, providing the authorities of the
bank would agree not to press the
case against his son. This point has
been urged to show the relentless pur-
pose of the prosecution, and on the
minds of the Chilians it seems to have
had considerable effect.
