Pittsburg, Oct. 1.-THE startling
discovery was made late yesterday
that the Adams Express company had
been victimized to the extend of
100000, supposedly through the
specuIations of an employee. In an
official statement the company says
a package containing the money was
received and receipted for by Edward
George Cunliffe, who was then acting
in place of a regular money clerk,
who was i'll. Cunliffe left the office
at the usual time Monday evening
and Tuesday morning when he failed
to report for duty a hurried eXamina-
ton was made of his department and
it was learned that about $1,000 of
funds entrusted to his care were
missing.
General Agent Hiner of the Ad-
ans Express company Immediately
called in detectives and placed the
matter in their hands. Later devel-
opments brought to light the fact
that in addition to the $1,000 miss
ing, a bank package containing
100000 had not been received at

RAMSEY HELPLESS.
Gould Faction in Supreme Control at
Wabash Meeting.

Toledo, Oct 11.-No directors were
chosen at the annual meeting of the
Wabash railroad yesterday. The SEES
sions, with the exception of two brief
recesses, lasted from 8 in the morn
ing until 11:15 at night, almost the
entire time being taken up by the eX-
animation of proxies. Although no
figures have been given cut by the
inspectors of election, it is believed
the vote to be taken today will show
that Gould has behind him about
$22, 100000 Of bonds, and Ramsey
$2,0OO,000. This makes certain that
the six men nominated by the Gould
faction as directors representing 1.-THE
bondholders will be elected. These
ere Russell Sage, Winslow S. Pierce,
r. C.. Clowry, Z. T. Welles, w. B..
Saunders and r. M. Galloway. Ram
sey has not shown sufficient strength
10 enable MIN to hold his seat as a
director, and it is generally believed
he is weaker in stock proxies than ne
is in bonds.

METHODISTS ARBITRATE.
Church Publishers to Treat With En-.
ployes.


Freeport, Oct. 11.-At the Rock
River conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal church yesterday, a report
from the committee on capital and
labor was read. The principal point
was made as follows:
I'VE believe that our church with
the preachers and members, as en-
ployers, should lead in fraternity, fair
remuneration, humane treatment, and
arbitration, and that, as employees, we
should stand for just treatment OF all
men, regardless OF organization or
affiliation, and should oppose ali vio-
lence Or intimidation. We insist upon
the spirit of reason, ableness, frater-
nifty and cooperation in dealing with
employers"
A motion that the church publishing
agents and book committee should
arbitrate the differences with the en-
ployes was unanimously carried.
The temperance committee reported
that the church is in honor bound to
vote to secure the nomination and cleo
ton to the general assembly Of illinois
of men who will vote to allow the peo-
pie self government on the saloon
question.

Considerably over three quarters of
