The County Statement
Auditors Still Delayed by the
Failure Of tine Ex-TreaSurer
to Submit his Account.

The Sentinel of last week charges
us with having called Jeremiah
Snyder, ex-county treasurer, an
emil ezzler. We have only to refer
to Our article to show that this is
incorrect. In the issue of January
~ we said: "For withholding this
money. and there is large amount
of it, Snyder is liable to be indicted
for embezzlement, if he refuses to
pay after demand is made"
His term of Office had expired,
and he had neither submitted a
statement to the commissioners, nor
paid over the bulk of the county
funds which he had in his hands,
to his successor. 1t is not necessary
that an official shall have spent the
money in his hands. If he refuses
to pay it over at the proper time he
may be indicted. That is the law.
But Mr.. Snyder has obviated
this by making payment. He
turned over to Treasurer Croop, on
January 2Sth, over $4,000 of the
county funds.
He has not yet complied with
the law relating to stating his ac-
counts. The act of IS April 1884,
concerning the duty of county
Treasurer says:
"And he shall once in each year
state his accounts, and produce his
vouchers, which after examination
by the commissioners shall be by
them laid before the county auditors
for settlement according to law"
1t will be seen from this that il
was his duty to have his statement
ready for the commissioners to be
submitted by them to the auditors,
That statement has not yet beer
made, and the auditors are being
delayed in their work. 1t is no
their duty TO 60 through the books
as expert accountants and make uI
a statement for the treasurer, bu
merely to verify the statement a
made up by him, from the books
We are informed that it is their i'll
tention to wait rntil such state
ment is submitted.
We do not know what the SENT
seI means by our being "drawl
into a trap" If the demand of
newspaper that a public Office
shall do that which the law re
quires him to do is trap, then W.
admit that we fell into it. AS t.
what some imaginary gang pro
poses to do with the county funds
we have no knowledge. Tn

safe-keeping of the money, and h
is responsible for it.

Williamsport. Pal-The greatest
sensation yet caused in connection
with the railroad robberies in Penn
sylvania was the arrest of William
Mitchelltree at the church door in
Youngside in which the funeral SER
mon of William Clendenin was being
preached,
Mitcheltree's name had net been
mentioned in connection with the case
before. He was put upon the stand by
Coroner Shoemaker when the inquest
was held and was closely questioned.
He stated with such an appearance of
utter frankness, however, that he
could prove perfect alibi and show
that he was in Lock haven at the time
the crime was committed, that he was
allowed to leave on his own recogni-
zance.
While the funeral sermon was being
preached Mitchelltree, with two young
women and young man. drove up to
the Union church in double seated
carriage. The party. had just stepped
from the carriage and were about to
attempt to enter the church. which
was crowded to the doors, when Con-
stable Myers caught Mitchelltree by
the arm and told him he was under
arrest. ,
There are some who believe that the
arrest of Mitchelltree is based upon
the confession of negro said to be
under arrest in Williamsport.

Realizing the Bald Truth

Perhaps 1t was a sort Of accident
that first suggested the thing to him.
At first he refused to believe it. He
declared that it was an optical illu-
sion or the result of having over
strained his nerves by smoking six
teen strong cigars at the club that
night, when his habit was to smoke
only dozen, or thirteen at the most.
There was mistake, somewhere, at
all events.
And yet, when he looked into the
mirror again and again, it was still
there, and it seemed to grow larger
and more glaringly visible at each
succeeding survey. It was emphatic,
insistant, mportunate-not to be
dOwned.
Still he would not accept this evil
dence; he could not. for it was too
unreasonable thing to be so.
All, happy thought!
He might be asleep and dreaming it
all. This gave him double assurance
that his mental and physical condi-
tions were not normal. He jabbed his
