Dry Weather Serious.

Dry weather continues and the situ-
alton begins to take on a serious as
pect. AS yet only a few towns in
Orleans county are affected. Th ey
are 1rasburg, Derby and North Troy.
Report has it that none of these towns
have water. 1t is reported that Lyn-
donville is without water except one
hour daily. Barre has forbidden the
use of hose and the Consolidated
Power and Lighting company is gene
rating but fraction of its capacity
because of low wat Ell and unless rain
comes to the relief soon the outcome
looks dubious. Several other cities
are also affected. Several fires are
reported in the forests of Vermont and
in many towns protection from fir e
companies is of little use, the water
being so low. Every precaution
should be taken against fire.

OVER A MILLION.
Defaulter Montgomery, in Con-
fession, and Made Public,
duplicates Others.

P1TTsBuRG. May 13.-Willialn
Montgomery, the defaulting cashiersof
the Allegheny National Bank, who had
been free under $4,000 bail, was de-
livered to the court yesterday after-
noon at 4 o'clock by his bondsman,
George E. Tener, after 1t had been
discovered by the bank examiner, VIII
liam L. Folds. that NIontgomery's de-
falcation would reach at least $1,250,-
600 instead Of S469,000, as originally an
nounced.
Continued threats on the part Of
Montgomery to commit suicide also
caused Tener to want some one else
to share the responsibility with him.
Four hours after Montgomery's sec.
ond arrest he was again released, af-
ter his bail had been increased to $780,
900. Tener agreed to be responsible
for his appearance in the original
amount of $4,000, while Richard r.
Quay, son of the late Senator NJ. S.
Quay, went on the bond for anotheI
$4,000.
For the first time since his defalca-
ton was discovered Montgomery an
bosorled himself during the four hours
that he was in charge of the officials.
In the presence of witnesses he told
part of the story of the looting of
the bank. A stenographer took down
his words, which will be used In an
effort to regain some of the stolen
money. The only part of the confession
given out last night by Bank En-
aminer Folds was that Montgomery
had exonerated all the politicians
whose names have been brought into
the case He also gave information
which will probably result in the ar
rest of several others.
Examiner Folds said that although
the defalcation OF Montgomery would
reach sl,250.0O0 and probably more,
the capital of the bank is intact. About
100000 has been recovered In notes
and stocks.
