DEFAULTER LIVED
IN HOURLY DREAD
Years Of Suspense Suffered
By LoWery.

Utica, N. Y, July 21.-J. Howard
Lowery, assistant cashier who made
away with $144,O00 of the funds of the
Utica City National bank and who now
languishes in the Utica Jail, following
his arrest in Philadelphia, has made a
clean breast of his wrongdoing and
his methods to the bank officials and
has turned over to them $4,000 in real
estate. Lowery says that from the
time he first made false entries in his
books at the bank he lived a life of
anxiety and dread He dared not leave
his desk even for a day. He never
took a vacation. The visits of the ex-
aminers were occasions of terrible
suspense. The false figures had to be
carried forward and renewed from
time to time so that the totals would
appear right
Through three or four years Lowery
carried this load of care and wore
mask of pleasantly. He was always
smiling and affable to the customers
who came to his window, and among
his fellow clerks he was jolly and ap-
parently care free.

ten LIVES LOST

Disaster Marks Battle Practice
at Fort Monroe.
BIG POWDER CHARGE LET GO

The Premature Ignition of 270-Pound
Charge Before Breech of Great Gun
Was Locked Scattered Death In the
Ranks of the Target Crew, Ten Be-
ing Killed Outright, Two MortaIIy
and Several Others Slightly Injured.
Washington, July 22.--A breech
block of a 12-inch gun of Battery De
Russey at Fortress Monroe, Va, blew
out during battle target practice, kill
ing three non-commissioned officers
and seven privates of the Sixty-ninth
company of the coast artillery. Two
other enlisted men received injuries
which probably will be fatal and sew
eral others were slightly injured. The
accident was the worst in the history
of the coast artillery corps. Second
Lieutenant George L. Van Dusen of
the Sixty-ninth company was the only
commissioned officer injured. His leg
was broken.
Lieutenant Colonel Clarence P.
Townsley, commanding officer of Fort
Monroe, officially reported the acci-
dent to the war department The ac-
cident, he said was probably due to
the premature ignition of the powder
charge before the breech block was
securely locked in its place. Here are
the names of ten of the dead as re-
ported to the department:

FINE ARROWHEAD,
Interesting Excavations Made Near
Cedar Crest, Mystic.

Alphonso Brown, one of the men
employed in the grading about the
new summer residence of Mrs. Rice at
Cedar Crest. Mystic. found finely
shaped Indian arrowhead Monday af-
ternoon. He uncovered it with his pick
about IS inches below the surface and
about 10 feet north of the front door
of the house. Mr.. Brown, who has
found several arrowheads, most of
them in imperfect condition. at his
home in Cedar street says that it is
the best specimen he ever saw or heard
of. It mea sures 4 IL inches long and
rs of an inch wide. 1t is gracefully
made splendidly pointed and almost as
hard asA flint, though not of that va
riety of stone. 1t has two we'll defined
notches at the butt end and is in as
perfect condition ais it probably was
when last used. Where the arrowhead
was found the men have also uncover
ed a bed or deposit of round clam shells
three or four feet in diameter and over
a foot in depth. The clam shells were
probably left there by Indians hun
dreds of years ago, as they are al
crumbled and none of them whole. The
spot commands a fine view of the sur
rounding country and the sound anG

days the church will take action upon
his letter of resignation.
