M'CARREN NOTE IS MISSING.
All Checks Drawn on Borough Bank
 of Brooklyn Also Gone.

New York, Nov. 29.-That a note signed by Senator Patrick McCarren for $13,O00 has disappeared since the closing of the Borough bank of Brook lyn on Oct. 24 is the latest discovery of the investigators. The note disap- peared some time between the closing of the bank and last Monday, when the receivers took charge.
 All checks drawn on the bank on it's last day of business have also disap- peared. The index book of the loan book is missing, and several pages of the latter have been torn out. Two and three pages at time have been ripped out, and the book is mutilated practically beyond deciphering the mysteries of why and what were many loans.
 On Monday next the Kings county grand jury will investigate the trans. actions of the Williamsburg Trust company, the Jenkins Trust company and the First National bank, all con- trolled by the Jenkins family.

KILLS WIFE, LEAPS TO DEATH
John Whitley, Retired Business Man,
 a Murderer and Suicide.

New York, Nov. 29.--John Whitley a wealthy retired Brooklyn business man, killed his youthful wife as she lay asleep. Then he plunged to his death from the tenth story coping of the Hotel Belleclaire at Broadway and Seventy-seventh street.
 Mrs. Whitley was the second wife of the Brooklyn capitalist. As trained nurse she had been in his home at the time of the death of the first Mrs. Whitley six years ago. Whitley, though past fifty, fell in love with handsome Elizabeth Louise Logan, and fourteen months after the death of his first wife he married her. Insane jealousy and fear that his beautiful wife might remarry after his death is believed by the police to have been the reason why he took her life as well as his own.

MINISTERS PRAISE HUGHES.
EuIoey of Governor Theme In Many
 New York Pulpits.


 New York Pulpits.
 New York, Nov. 29.-The name of one man dominated the Thanksgiving services of the churches of all denom. nations throughout the city. Charles Evans Hughes, governor of the state of New York, was the subject of praise, the personality for thanksgiving on the lips of every pulpit orator, in Protestant, Catholic and Jewish churches. Seldom has such a demon. stration been given before to one man in the services of national holiday The name of President Roosevelt was mentioned with that of Governor Hughes in the same category, but not on the same plane.
 In the Calvary church Dr. MacAr- thur caused strange demonstration. He named Charles Evans Hughes for president. The congregation arose as one person. The conventional sober ness of sanctity that custom preScribes in divine service was brushed away on the instant by the name of the man. The congregation broke into cheers and hand clapping. For five minutes there ensued a scene that would have been ordinary in Cooper Union or Car negie hall, but happening in house of worship and during divine thanks giving it was remarkable.
 At the same hour Dr. Parkhurst was pointing to Governor Hughes as the man who has more perfectly accommo- dated himself than any other to the genius of American institutions, who filled more completely and devotedly the position of executive as created by the constitution without impetuous am bition. And he spoke of Governor Hughes as a man against whom no justice of the supreme court charges the game of hide and seek"
 The omission of the motto "In God We Trust" from the new coinage, the furry over the question of religion ill the public schools and the shadow of hard times were criticised by Dr. Park hurst,

SLEIGHING CARNIVAL LAST WEEK.
Owners of Sleighs We're Out Ia Force and
Main Street Presented a Lively Appear
ance - Many Speed Contests.

The snow fall that began Monday of
last week and at first threatened the
proportions of blizzard, proved to be
a good sleighing snow, and beginning
Thursday the sleighers were out in
force. Main street presented an ami
mated sight and probably never was
the sport more indulged in. The own
ers of speedy horses took full advan-
tage of the good condition of the track
and there were brushes galore to de-
light the hearts of the racers and the
crowd ofspectators that gathered about
the "Four Corners" and along Main
street to watch the contests. Sleigh
ing continued all week until the warm
weather on Sunday caused the snow to
melt. In the races were the horses of
L. M. Price, w. F. Keith, J. P. Hud-
son, J. J. Gilman, Frank Gootee,
George Turner, Reuben Warren, Frank
Boyer, Howard Jones, John Wilson,
Harvey W. FAIRIES, Frank Bevan,
Cummins Speakman, Malcolm Burris
and others. Some good racing was
witnessed, particularly between Frank
Gootee's Dan Wilkes" and J. J. Gill
mans Jim RUSSELL" in which Mr..
Gilman had slightly the better of it.
J. P. Hudson appeared on Thursday
with his gray PAGER "RockJ P" and in
several contests with ''Jim Russell,
honors were about even. The weather
indications are favorable for another
fall of snow, which if it materialIzei
will afford the opportunity for a re
newal of the sleighing carnival.
