away Is Taken Out In =
Dying Condition.

NEW YORK, Dee S-Whcn long
shoreman dropped into the hold of the
steamer Palatia of the Hamburg
American line. just arrived Al the HO-
boken docks. he was startled to hear Il
weak voice call for water Then he
heard moans. Sumlnoning assistance,
he made a search and came ACROSS the
form of man lying across .so,ue salt
sacks. The man was dragged to the
deck and became. UNCONSCIOUS and Is
now ut n Hoboken hospital, with little
chance Of recovery or, indeed, Of ever
telling his strange tale. He Is suffer
ing from starvation.
A detailed Investigation showG that
the stranger haG been boxed up in
Germany in a packing case marked
~. Il. r." In the ease was small
bottle which had contained whisky and
also some crumbs Of bread. a piece of
paper was found marked ".Iobn Beck"
The box was marked in German. This
side up. with care" There were no
air holes IN the ease. and the man must
nave FAISteil Oh WHAT caIuc through tHe
joining of the boards. The hatch to
this hold had not been opened from the
time the PaIatia left port until ycster-
day. 1t is the opinion of the investi-
gators that tNring~ne last Of the trip
the stowaway became so frenzied that
he broke out of the box, and there was
no way for him to give the alarm.
Tho man was well dressed. evidently
German about thirty years old. Up
to the present the consignor or con
signre of the case has not been discov.
cred. Yesterday m American Express
wagon called for n box marked rs this
one was. and il is believed that through
this circumstance something more may
be learned of the strange affair.
The Paiatia is Il freigltrr. very slow
and was longer than usual in making
this trip. II is believed the man was
in his perilous position ut least fifteen
days.

FRANKFORT, Ky" Dee. 1.-THE
state board of valuation and assess
m"nt has passed finally in the matter
of assessing Kentucky whisky. fixing

limiting the production. The $40 as

BANK TELLERATR!EF'
First National Of Ballston Spa
Reported 100000 Short.
IS CLOSED BY The COMPTROLLER.
The Alleged Defaulter Had Been .
Trusted Employee For Thirty
Years and Never Took
4 Vacation.

BALLSTON. N. Y. Dee. 4.--Teller
Charles Il. Fittham of the First Ma.
tional bank is under arrest at his home
here. charged with defulcations
amounting to 100000, which have
closed the bank
The bank began business In 1865.
and Its present officers are: President,
Judge j. =. Lanoreaux: vice president,
Harvey J. Donaldson; cashier. Stephen
G. Medbery: teller, Charles Il. Fitcham.
Judge IAmoreuux succeeded the late
George West as president early in Oc-
tober of this year, at which time Mr..
Donaldson succeeded to the vice pres-
dency. The new executive officers be-
gan at once thorough investigation
OF the banks affairs and discovered
indications of u d"falcation on the part
Of Fitcham.
Cashier Medbcry discovered the fact
that one regular depositor's account Of
many years standing had been mark
ed closed. Knowing this to be er
ron"ous, the investigation was pursued
until It was seen that the stealing had
been begun many years ago and at
tanned large figures.
Bank Examiners f. j. Graham and
Josiah Van Vranken were sent for and
began a thorough examination. At the
close OF banking hours they reported a
shortage of SlO0.00O. The directors
held a meeting and decided to close he
bank pending an investigation. United
States Commissioner Dawson issued
warrant for Ftcham's arrest. and he
was taken into custody at his home
shortly before noon and was SO star
He'd by the knowledge that he had
been discovered that he was taken
with a nervous fiji and became so i'll
that doctor was called and he was
put to bed. An officer is now on guard
in his room.
Fltcham did not live eXtrnvagantly,
hut it was known he had speculated in
stocks, and it is surmised he lost his
stealings in the market.
The examinations show the teller
nlone is responsible. 1t is not thought
possible that any loss eau come to dc
positors or certificate holders. as the
bank has surplus Of S10OUJO, which
it is hoped will nearly or quite meet
the deficit and leave the banks capital
of 100000 unimpairpd.
