BANK TELLER AND
BOOKKEEPER MISSING.
Were Employed I'm the Merchants
National Bank atLowelI--They Dis
appeared Last Thursday Night.

Lowell, Mass. Oct. 19.--The officials OF
the Merchants National bank are very ro-
ticent about the disappearance OF the tel-
ler and bookkeeper. Albert G. Smith and
Lewis X. Swift. They left the city on
Thursday evening and did not show up
for duty yesterday.
All day yesterday the bank officials re-
fused to take the matter seriously, stating
that they expected Mr.. Smith ia this
morning and that Mr.. Swift had been of
on a vacation and perhaps had been de-
tained day longer than he expected.
Substitutes were appointed 10 conduct tho
business during the day and the business
Of the bank went on as usual.
After banking hours, however. the story
OF the disappearance OF the two young
men spread like Wild Are. The directors
OF the bank held a conference but still re-
fused TO maze any statement as to wheth-
CT the men had really absconded or
whether there was any shortage in their
accounts.
President A. q. Pollard was interviewed
and simply said that the men were absent
and that he had nothing further 10 cay.
This morning the situation has brought
very little news so far as official inform
alton Is concerned. Mrs. smith. wtru OF
the teller was interviewed and appeared
quite self-possessed over the matter and
talked very Independently 10 the repre-.
sentativos OF the press.
She admitted that she had received a
message last night stating that her hus-
band would return home but refused 10
tell where the message came from.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1901-10-19

Mrs. Swift was also interviewed but
she seemed TO be almost heart-broken
over the rumored disappearance OF her
husband.
Both young men have borne excellent
characters and were popular in the clubs
and In society.
Mr.. Smith was identified with Y NJ. G..
A. work and the Sunday school work IN
several Of tho churches. lie was also n
leader I'm the organization OF the Boys
club, n member OF the Nesper Boat club
and several others prominent in social
life
Today President Pollard and the di-
rectors OF the bank were I'm session, and
Il appears that experts have been at work
on the books all night.
IL was expected that definite state
ment as 90 whether there was "A shortage
would have been given out this forenoon,
but President Pollard stated distinctly
that so far as the experts had gone there
was no shortage discovered. but even n
would not effect the stability OF the bank.
EN-Judge Idlley. "A director OF the bank
stated that 10 was probable that an Of
fetal statement would be given out this
afternoon.
IN has been reported that LAWYER Burke

Chairman Southwick presided and after
brief hearing, both sides being given
due consideration, it was unanimously
voted 10 have a recount OF the vote Mon.
day next. commencing at 10 o'clock
This recount wills determine the ques-
ton OF the illegality OF the method of
conducting caucuses. raised by Messrs
Trask and McAuslan, particularly that
of last evening, and whether Messrs.
Grant and Root had enough votes TO
constitute a margin and accept them as

THREE TICKETS IN THE TENTH.
At the Democratic primaries TO NOM
mate city council tickets this evening
in the various wards the real battle
ground will be in the tempest-tossec
Tenth. There will be three tickets in
the field designated respectively as the
Darcy, West and Coveil tickets.
The first will he headed by former AL
derman Darcy with Councilmen Birming-
ham. Hall, Grady and Winn as asso-
ciates. and be designated as straight
Democratic.
The West ticket will be what it's name
suggests and have for common council
nominees Councilmen Birmingham and
Winn and Messrs Peter Cannon and
Lawrence Coffey Ii is thought that Mr.
Birmingham will not permit the use of
his name on this ticket but repudiate 1t
and he and his supporters adhere TO the
straight party. Darcy end.
The Covei will be the same ballot ap-
proved by "a votes in the Republican
caucus last evening:
For alderman-William II. COvell
For common councilmen-Jerem miah

cratic club OF Providence at Colonial hall

Of Hotel at Houston.

Houston Tex. Oct l9. AT 2:30 a. m, fire
broke out in the rear portion OF the
Hutchins House. one of the leading hotels
in Houston. The flames spread rapidly
TO all parts of the upper stories of the
building, which is a four story structure
covering more than half block.
The guests. OF whom the hotel was full.

fatality is so far known TO have resulted
from the fire. There was a person who

the sound came, saw a man. believed to be
guest Of the hotel. but whose identity
is not known. sink back into the flames.
This building was the property OF Neu-
haus Brothers and kessler OF Schulen-

Candidate Sheahan's friends have sent
a circular broadcast over the ward in
which there is conclusive evidence fur
nished from the very records of the city
candidate was a member OF the lower
branch OF the city government. that he
has been first and last and always for
free ticket trarfers.
The following is brief excerpt from
the common council records or Sept. 10,
1891:
"The same committee (railroads). sub
init a bill for an ordinance granting per-
mission 10 the Union Railroad company
TO lay rails and TO erect poles and wires
in Francis and Smith streets. and TO rec
ommend its passage"
Pending its consideration OF the ordi-
nance and accompanying plan, Mr.. Shea
han introduces an amendment to said or
dinance providing that said Union Rail-
road company shall on or before Novem-
ber LIST. 1894. issue transfer tickets on all
of Its lines within the city; and there
upon the whole matter is referred back
TO the committee on railroads upon mo-
ton of Mr.. Vaughan with instructions
10 present a plan OF the entire route pro-
posed I'm said ordinance"
There is likely to be considerable life
shown in the Fourth ward compared with
previous Democratic primaries, when the
large totals polled last evening are taken
into consideration. The same is apt to
hold equally good I'm the Fifth. Sixth,
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth wards.
In fact In a majority of the wards there
promises 10 be an outpouring of the
people.
The threatened opposition 10 Alderman
Reynolds in the Fifth ward did not ma
terialize at last evenings caucus. Leader
Williams was there with his Jewish con-
tingent, but he did not show his hand
Out of the 325 votes S24 were received
by Alderman Reynolds. Possibly the
only one against him was cast by Mr..
Willams-who knows?
The time for filing nominations and
declinations for state officers and mem
bers or the general assembly expired at
midnight last night. There are no
changes for state officers as nominated
by the various conventions and but few
differences from the various town and
city tickets for the legislature from the
names published I'm The News inmediate-
ly after the primaries.
The time limit for filing nominations
and declarations for the city council ex-
pires one week from last night.
