Tlie late Dr. Wighttuan, of Kirkma-

great folio tone, says the Irish Times,
imagined he heard a sound in the

ini security of manse: so taking his
.candle he proceeded to investigate the
cause. His loot being heard In the
lobby the housekeeper began, with all
earhectnes®, to cover the fire, as if pre
paring for bed.
“Ye’re late up to-night, Mary.”
“I’m just rakin’ the fire, sir, and
gaun to bed.”
-'“That’s right, Mary, I like timeou?
hours.”
0.1 his way back to the study he
p issed the coal closet, and, turning the
key, he took it with him. Next morn
ing at an early hour there was a rap at
the bedroom door, and a request lor
the key, to light the fire.
“T^f’re too soon up, Mary; go back
to your bed yet.
Hair an hour later there was another

o prepare the breakfast.
“I don't want breakfast so soon,
Uu7» go back to your bed.
Another half hour, and another
knock with an entreaty for the key, as
it was washing day. This was enough,

WA6nixcTOS, June 7.—It is evident
that Po^tmastervGeneral Wanamaker’s
connection with the fsi'.ore of the loot
ed Keystone bank, of Philadelphia, in
which a million dollars belonging to
the State of Pennsylvania and half a
million belonging to the city of Pbila-
pbia were swamped, cannot much
longer be concealed* Although the
president of the bouk is a fugitive from
justice, and the city treasurer and
cashier and several' directors of the-
bank are under arrest* 11‘UTXBO geuusr
heJiel that there are others and more
cidprJ
„ . y
there have been darlThints that before
the investigation closed John Wana-
tnaker, superintendent of the Bethany
Sunday school aud postmaster general
of this administration* would be drag
ged into tlds dishonorable and discred
itable affair.
IT WILL COME TO LIGI1T.
Every effort has been made to keep
M-. Wanauuker’s skirts clear, but he
seems to have "been deeply Involved
and ho intimately connected with the
bank that this will be Imposrib'e. He
has steadfastly refused to make any
statement, but the lines are being
drawn so closely and the disclosures
have been so startling that he cannot
much longerer postpone the Impend
ing scandal.
The collapse Is at hand. It Is no
longer denied that the Keystone haqk
was carrying 1200,000 worth of Wana-
muker's paper, which was $150,000 In
excess of whai the bank could legally
loan to him under the law which pro
hibits a bank from loaning to a single
Individual more than 10 per cent of the
capital »tbck paid in which was in tbl6
$500,000.
THEY HAD OVERDRAWN.
It is claimed, however, that when
the bank closed these notes had been
taken up, and that Mr. Wanamaker
had only a small overdraft. Mrs.
Wanamaker had also overdrawn her
account, and W. H. Wanamaker, who
is runniug John's breeches-maklng es
tablishment in Philadelphia, bad de
posited drafts which had gone to pro
test, and which were subsequently set
tled after thu failure through the per
sistency ot a treasury agent. The gen
eral charge all along has been that the
b-ink was held open by Comptroller
Lacy In order to give Wanamaker an
opportunity to cover hi* shortage.
Yesterday the New York World con
tained n long dispatch from Philadel
phia, specifically stating that Wana
maker was in collusion with the presi
dent of the bank, Mr. Lucas, in an
overissue of some $300,000 worth cf
stock which was used by them to pro
tect themselves in the Philadelphia and
Reading deal, which was so much
talked of last fall*
'1 he World’s story says that Marsh
said that at the time of the failure
Wanamaker had $150,000 worth of
this fraudulent stock* which he bad
implored Wanamaker to give up, and
that Wanamaker told him (Marsh)
that “I muse give him (Wanaraakei)
$200,000 or he would close the bank.”
MARSH COULDN’T SEE IT.
It is said that after the hank was
closed and Hie. jig was up, aa attempt
was made to tnfiuenee Marsh to plead
guilty and take a term in the peniten
tiary in onlejr to avoid the disclosures
which the testimony would bring out,
and that Marsh agreed. But be seems
ro have thought better of his resolu
tion, and run for if, forfeiting a $20,-
000 bond, which John Wanaraaker’s
brother will have to make good
Other rumors are flying thick anti
fast, aud the whole affair has caused h
profound sensation here. In rffi-iaf
circles there is great uneasiness i.s to
what an investigation might-disclose.
In the comptroller’s bureau there is
evidently a disposition to make Bank
Examiner Drew the ‘capegoat. hut he
is said to Ihj well fortified, and prepared
to prove that all the informal Ion which
he obtained was promptly fnrwatded
here, and that he acted only under in
structions from Comptroller Lacy.
Mr. W’anamakcr could not be seen, a*
he went to Philadelphia to look after
bis Sunday school. It is probable that
be will be hauled before the investigat
ing committee before he again leave*
the city of brotherly love and made to
tell what he knows about this gigantic
caudal. g

shove their town io thA front rank or

overkiokiog the fact that a city’s
schools are always important factors In
growth and popularity, and that peo
ple generally moved to m town 'with a

anything else is there or not.
For several oear* tin* oity could not

a good school.
Things moved along after this fash

to him Mr. McIntosh. In the name of.
Utptner, went to work for the (mild-
Inr of an academy. He decided t<
build it by volunteer subscription,
heading the list with a good amount.
Success crowned his efforts in this, as
in all other of his undertakings, and
very soon the western portion of the
city was graced with a beautiful two

The bouse had hardly been finished,
hough, when some fiend applied an
incendiarv’s torch to it, and all that
was left of the handsome building was

Drama Ik Real Life.
I witnessed a most touching and
dramatic incident the other day, said
M. J. Madden, of Chicago to tlie St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. It was at tlie
union depot. Among the passengers
leaving the train just in from the South
was a distinguished-looking old gentle
man, and clinging to his arm was one
of the most beautiful girls I ever saw
in my life.
To take the Joliet train there came
down the stone slept a burly officer, in
citizen's clothes, and by bis side was
the once society favorite, George Lipe,
convicted of forging his mother's
name, and who, ip spite ot all the in-
fluencc brought to bear, must serve his
terra iu the penitentiary.
A steel band v?as about tlie prisoner’s
wrist attached to another about the
officer’s wrist. The two couples I haye
described met directly iu front of the
big gates.
“O, papa,” exclaimed the girl,
her face lighted np with pleasure,
“litre is George, come to meet us after
our long journey.”
She rushed forward to meet the con
vict, and impetuously grabbed both
his hands. The shock the sight of the
manacles produced was positively
frightful. Her great eyes opened, her
face blanched, she tried to speak, but
could not, and then she fell fainting
Into the arms of her father, who bore
her to a carriage.
