CASHIER BALDWIN.
latest developments of the
MECHANICS??? BANK.
A Cashier's Speculation Swamp* Newark???s Leading
Bank???Losses Estimated at Considerably Over
82.000.000- Loans on Unsecured Paper???
Buffering Among tho Depositor*.
Newark, K. J., November 1.???The excite
ment over the closing of tlic doors of the
Mechanics' tank still continues.
Tiie bank's last statement, issued in October,
showed liabilities as follows: Capital stock,
$500,000; surplus, $400,000; national bank
notes, $445,000; dividend* unpaid, $3,902; de
posits, $2,417,215; certified checks. $33,407;
cashier's dtccks, $7,3(50; due other national
tanks, $131,542; due state hanks, $70,912.
A statement of the affairs of the Mechanics???
national hank, prepared by Attorney Tveasily,
shows that the linn of Nugent <fc Co, has been
allowed to overdraw its account to the extent
of ataut five hundred thousand dollars since
the first of last January.
Warren Ackerman, a former director of the
Mechanic???s hank, lias began a law suit against
President Halsey, for a debt caused by negli
gence.
Nugent???s counsel denies that lie received the
large amount stated by Cashier Baldwin. He
says he cannot show how his accounts stood
at the hunk because Baldwin had the account
so mixed up he was in the latter's power.
A receiver lias not yet been appointed.
There are no further developments regarding
Baldwin???s operations.
The following are the hoard of directors:.
Janies A. Halsey, Oscar L. Baldwin. Stephen
II. Condict, George II. Halsey, Lewis C. Gro
ver, James F. Bond, William Clark. Henry C.
.Howell, Joseph Heistcr. James A. Halsey is
president and Oscar L. Baldwin cashier. The
last named ofiiccr was manager of the tank
anil is considered responsible for the trouble.
The news came like a thunder bolt on the
community. There was not a suspicion that
the institution was not the strongest in New
ark. The directors have been considered the
most trustworthy body of men in the city,
and the reputation of Baldwin as a financier
probably stood first in the state. The bank is
closed to all comers, and no official facts have
been made known beyond the arrest of Bald
win on the charge of embezzlement and the
sending for government examiners. The New
York correspondent of the tank was the Me
chnnics' national bank of New York. Tlielat
ter institution loses nothing. Baldwin culled at
this bank???Saturday and wished to withdraw
some collaterals he had pledged there, but
this was not permitted, and his inability to
get hold of them may have forced the discov
ery of rottenness in his bank.
Tiie firm of Nugent <C Co. has suspended.
Tlitrconcern was invoked with the broken
bank. Other fuilures are expected. It is
said that all that's left of the bank is its build
ing, worth atibut$50,000.
Cashier Baldwin, of the Mechanics??? bank,
while confined to his residence, was waited
upon by the United States district attorney
and Commissioner Kcysby and admitted to
tail in $25,000, to appear at court November
7. His bondsmen are William A. Freeman, of
'Bloomfield, and bis brothers, William H. and
Theodore F. Baldwin and Matthias F. Ootid,
of East Orange. Baldwin then stated volun
tarily that about the year 1873 ho began to
make louus to C. Nugent & Co., morocco man
ufacturers, without security or the sanction of
the directors. Having begun, he was in the
power of Nugent, and continued the accom
modations. sometimes loaning them $50,000 in
one month, till the total was increased to a
ruinous amount. Nugent assured him that
???he had a large property and capital in busi
ness, which would make all the loans good.
Nugent was well aware that lie (Baldwin) was
using the bank's money, and always promised
to surrender bis property in ease of any
trouble. Under these circumstances the loan
was increased till it reached $2,000,000. The
manner in which this was transacted was this:
Nugent would give drafts on friends in New
York, which would be credited to him ascasli,
and Baldwin would use the bank???s money to
lake up the drafts when due. The books were
so falsified as to show the accounts to be cor
rect. Finally, however, lasses were placed in
the account of the Mechanics??? tank, of New
York, agent of the Newark haul:, and while it
appeared that the Newark hank had claims
for $2,000,000 against the New York tank, in
truth the Newark tank owes the New York
bank $200,000. ' This difference is almost
wholly due to the irregular transactions with
Jjatgent. He said that he had speculated very
little and lost nothing in that way. District-
Attorney Keasby says-that Nugent can lie held
liable for bis part of the transaction under
section 5209 of the United .States revised
statutes. The rumor that Nugent made an
assignment to-day was premature. His ac
counts arc involved with the bauks, and await
further developments.
Current rumor is, of course, endless and
varied. The main fact is the obi and painful
story of stock gambling, robbery and ruin.
Cashier Baldwin is at his own house in bed.
Tiie affidavits upon which Baldwin was ar
rested allege the confession of the crime and
that the abstractions were covered up by false
entries; that the amount taken exceeds $2,-
000,000, and that the bank is insolvent and
mined. What this implies tuay be imagined
from the fact that the Mechanics??? bank lips
hitherto stood in the very front rank among
Newark 1 Kinks, having been the most prosper
ed during half a century since its charter
wits granted, and has been paying dividends
of 14 per cent, 7??? per cent
semi-annually. In fact, the Me
chanics' was considered the strongest
and safest tank in Newark, and almost too
prudent and conservative. Its board of
directors includes some of the wealthiest and
foremost citizens. How the loss will be dis
tributed cannot r.o.v be known. It is re
ported that there will l>o some very painful
and ruinous commercial ???afterclaps" in the
way of failures of houses which the Mechanics???
bank has been ???carrying.??? Supi>osed in
stances are freely named, but ft would, of
course, be unjusi to give publicity to these
names at the present time when nothing is
positively known.
The defaulting cashier has long been l>otli
esteemed and liked in Newark, aiuMtisfellows
in otlico in other Newark banks seem to be as
much grieved as surprised. This is saying
much, since the surprise is simply boundless.
As one prominent citizen remarked, lie would
as soon have thought of one of the churches
turning over and standing on the tip of the
spire. While Baldwin was making his state
ment to the directors, Sunday, confessing liis
own guilt, the tails on Trinity Episcopal
church, of which he was a member and to
which he had subscrita-d liberally, were call
ing the faithful to worship. Little, indeed,
did Baldwin's old church friends think, a.-
tliev sat in church, last night, that one of
their loading lights was at that moment con
fessing himself a thief.
It appears that Baldwin was at one time
Inoitiv of a prominent Newark saving institu
tion, whieb deposited in the Mechanics??? bank
Tnruugh some misunderstanding he resigned,
smd the savings bank withdrew their recount-
from the Mechanics, tints guarding against the
present failure. At the office of the Newark
mutual benefit life insurance company, in
New York, of which Baldwin is trustee, the
excitement was intense. The president of the
company left for Newark immediately upon
tlic ivee.pt of the news. The company is in
volved, it is understood, quite heavily. One
of the officers of the insurance company said
that tliev had never before experienced suen a
ghock. Baldwin was a man of unimpeachable
character. He was married, and was the
father of four children. In social circle he
was regarded as one of the leaders, and his
reputation as a financier was unexceptionable.
Baldwin positively refused to'see anybody
with the exception of his personal friends. To
persons calling at his house, his son answered
that his father, lieing sick, could not see any
body at all, especially reporters. Baldwin's
wife and bis children, two I joys, fifteen and
six years old, and two girls, eleven anil three
years, stayed at his bedside all day. Baldwin
said to a friend, ???I am guilty, and willing to
go to the penitentiary.???
At 5 o???clock United States Commissioner
Keasby and District-Attorney Keasby called
at the???house, together with a short-nand re
porter and ex-Judge Titenswortli, Baldwin???s
attorney. Baldwin positively denied that he
liud used any of the funds of the tank for
private speculations, and said: ???Since the
organization of the tank, the firm of Nugent
A Co., has been among their principal cus
tomers. Since 1873 that firm had made irreg
ular loans, and I gave them money with
out security and without the knowl
edge of the board ??? of directors.
Nugent compelled me by threat
ening that he would tell the directors all
about these crooked transactions, to give
hint more money from time to time. Some
times Nugent paid back to the tank $50,000
per moutn, but he drew more always than he
paid. I hoped all these years that Nugent &
Co. would refund these sums, knowing the
firm to be very wealthy. Nugent ufc Co. were
well aware of the fact that 1 used the funds
of the tank for loans made them.???
Up to date Nugent & Co. have received more
than $2,000,000 out of the funds of the bank.
The modus operandi was that Nugent gave
checks for New York firms to pay some money
to the .bank from time to time and the funds
of the bank were used to pay the drafts of
the firm. The entries in the book were fal
sified so that the directors thought the busi
ness of the bank was all right.
Christopher Nugent, a wealthy morocco
manufacturer, of the firm of C. Nugent & Co.,
was arrested tills evening, at ills house, by a
deputy United States marshal, on the charge
of aiding and abetting cashier Baldwin in
embezzling the funds of the Mechanics??? na
tional tank. He gave bail in $25,000 to answer
the charge. The arrest was based on the vol
untary statement of the cashier in regard to
loans to Nugent. Nugent???s bondsmen were
George B. Jenkinson and James Smith, jr.
The complaint against Nugent was made by
United States Commissioner A. 0. Keasby.
It is not yet known where the money has
gone, hut it is alleged the cashier has been
engaged in Wail street speculations. If, as
seems probable, Baldwin goes to the state
prison, there will be three cashiers in con
finement there. Baldwin and Hedden, o
Newark, and Berry, of Hackensack. It
appears that Baldwin lias got away with
everything but tlic safe, which was a very
heavy one.
The business of the morocco firm of C.
Nugent A Co. is said to amount to over a
million dollars a year. Tliev employ GOO
men, and the weekly pay roll amounts to
$4,!tOO. ???When Baldwin was before us,??? said
a director to a Tribune reporter, ???he appeared
to be anxious to make a clean breast of the
matter. He said that he fully realized tlic
grave nature of the offence and admitted that
he ought to be dealt with in the severest man
ner the law would allow. ???TJiere is no ex
cuse for my misdeeds,??? he said, ???and I now
see what I ought to have seen years ago. I
stand before you, to-niglit, a perjurer, u forg
er, a falsifier and a criminal. I think, gen
tlemen,??? he said in conclusion, ???that you
ought to send for officers, and put me under
arrest for misappropriating your money
and money belonging to other
persons. It is your duty to send
me to jail, and I only a3k the privilege of
going home to inform my wife and family of
my misdeeds. They know nothing about
this atl'air. I never expect to go to the bank
again, but instead, I expect to go to jail and
from there to the state, prison, where I shall
have to end my days. If I hau not been too
much of a coward, T would not have been
here to tell you this story to-night. I should
have shot myself. Since I have chosen to
live I must suffer.???
???Acs. The feasibility of the enterprise is placed
beyond doubt, and the probable cost does not ex
ceed that which was anticipated."
???Would it be a fair question to ask who compose
this company 7???
. ???Yes, and I would have no objection to an
swer it had I the lists at hand,
and could do so correctly. Most of them are prom
inent business men of Atlanta, well known here
and elsewhere, and are entirely earnest in this mat
ter. These gentlemen have for a long time proper
ly estimated the value of such a work, and have
been for years engaged working up some feasible
plan for its construction. Colonel Frobel has been
very active in his efforts in its behalf. He spent
several winters in Washington City endeavoring to
arouse interest in it, and has visited the aorth and
west for the same purpose. Indeed,
for _ several years, he devoted himself almost
exclusively to this project, and it is principally to his
efforts that the survey made by order of congress is
due. Du ring the past winter, or eurl v last spring,
Mai^or . English, after his return from New York,
THE PROPOSED CANAL.
Wont Colonel Frobot ThinL* of tin* Project.
A reporter of The Constitution- went forth yes
terday in searen of information in regard to the
canal project, lie first called upon Colonel Frobel,
who is generally known as connected with the en
terprise. After the usual preliminaries, the re
porter asked:
???Can you tell us anything about tho proposed
line'.??????
Yes. A survey has been made from tiie initial
point on the Chattahoochee river to Atlanta. The
work is practicable, and can bo built for a sum that
promises good interest on the investment.???
??????Kroiu ivhat point on the river did the survey
start????
"Seven Island???s ford. A line was also run to Car
ter???s shoal. Either point will do.???
???What is the elevation of tho water here above
Atlanta????
???At Seven Islands the s-urface is twelve feet higher
than the top ol 'the rail at the car shed. At Carter???s
shoal it is thirty feet higher, and this can be in
creased by a dam if necessary.???
???What will be the length of the canal????
???The line surveyed is 73 miles long. It is possible,
however, that this may be somewhat reduced ou the
final location.???
???Does the Chattahoochee at this point afford a
sufficient supply of water?"
The river was gauged at Seven Island
shoals on tlie'Wth August last, during the late
universally dry season, and was found to afford 712
cubic feet per second. This would probably suffice
even during the dryest season. But the line crosses
several streams that may be used, and these streams
afforded in August last, at an unusually dry time!
about 420 cubic feet per minute. When we add to
this the water that may be eofleoted from several
hundred square miles of surface we have not only
an abundant supply, but more tbau will probably
be needed. These points settle the feasibility of
the work. 1st. Elevation of surface at tho starting
S aint sufficient to conduct water in open canal
ere. ???2d. An abundant supply of water; and 3d,
an intervening country that will admit of such a
work."
It has always been supposed that it would be
very difficult and expensive to cross l???eachtree
creek. How did you find that?"
The line does not cross Peachtree creek, but fol
io ws Peachtree tidge. as it is called, from Ivy creek
lo Atlanta. This ridge is uniform, is not crossed
by water, and is unbroken from the point where the
line touches it to the ear shell.???
???What will be the probable cost of this canal????
???Estimates based upon the survey just eompleteil
have not us yet been made tip, and it is rather earlv
to talk upon this subject, but I suppose not more
than two or two and a half millions. Major Mc-
Calla, United states civil engineer, surveyed part
of this line, and puts tho cost at $1,000,000 for 40
miles, or $25,000 per mile. This was when labor
was higher than it is now. I have sceu no reason
to doubt the acuracy of this estimate. ???
What amount of water power will the canal
afford????
???The work for which the survey was made pro
poses about -20,000 theoretical horse power. This
theoretical power may possibly lie doubled, for teu
working hours jby a judicious system of reservoirs
and levels.???
"Would the rana! aid in the solution of the sew
erage question????
"1 think it would. The trouble now is lack of
water. The canal would supply this. A single tunnel
sewer discharging into the 3d or 4th ward, or some
lower level ot the canal could receive the sewerage
from this secondary system, which, as you know, is
made of the sewer pipes running through our
streets. This whole system could be washed out
every night, if necessary. .The sewerage would be
carried into tiie lower levels of the canal, and when
the mills resumed work at dawn be borne away
with no possibility of a reluming tide to bring it
back again."
Thanking the colonel for the free and full
answers given to his inquiries, the reporter
next sought Colonel Z. P. llacrison at his office
at the supreme court room. Having
kindly assented to an inquiry ???whether he could
give some information about the canal,??? the re
porter asked:
"Do you know anything about tiie recent surrey
for a canal from the'Chattahoochee to Atlanta?"
???Yes. I know of one survey which has been
made for that purpose. This survey was made dur
ing the past summer by Colonel B. W. Frobel.
assisted by Professor K. SI. Hall, chief engineer of
the North Georgia mining canal company, and
oth-rs."
"Under whose auspices was this survey made????
???The comnany was organized some years ago.
The gentlemen composing this eomiMtny have had
the matter in contemplation for several years, and
have onlv been deterred from making a beginning
by the difficulty in interesting capital in southern
cntei prises. A more favorable period seemed to
hare dawned last winter and spring. The matter
was then revived and has resulted in the surrey
just made."
"Arc the results of this survey satisfactory io the
parties interested?"

the attention of the city government to the
matter. He became a stockholder in the comamnv
about that time and was made a director. HeTnul,
while at the north, talked with capitalists and enter
tained strung hopes that the necessarv means could
l>c had to build tiie cauiil should its feasibility be
demonstrated. Surveys had already been made,
but there were still points in doubt, and toseltlo
these points the recent survey from Seven Island
ford and Curler's shoal was mnde. This was long
before anything had appeared in the papers rela-
tive'to tiie building of the canal at an carlv day,
anil since then Mayor English has been actively en
gaged, working up some practical plan to give ns
the benefit of tnis enterpriser I will state further,
that it was principally through the efforts of our
com. any that an internal improvement convention
was helil hero in 1872 or 1873, and that a committee
of congress wus sent to Atlanta shortly afterwards
to inquire into the needs of this sectioii in the mnt-
terof transportation and canals. So that you see
that this thing is by no means a recent conception.
As I said, the survey is satisfactory. A continuous
line was run from the river to Atlanta, and staked
out Eaeh point was carefully examined and sur
veyed, and the result settles the point left in doubt
by an earliersurvey.???
The reporter then mentioned that there was an
impression that this idea of a canal was a new thing
started a mouth or so ago, and that no survey hail
ever been made, except one reported to have been
made by. Uener.il Sherman, during the late war.
???In that you are mistaken. A company for its
construction was organized several years ago. A
survey was made and the rlght-of-wav obtained to
the greater part of the line, and but for the panic in
1873 the work might have been beguit. That panic
suspended work of every kind, but the gentlemen
composing this company did not despair. They
kept up their organization and efforts to interest
capital, and these efforts it would seem may yet be
crowned with success.???
???Do you think that the canal will ever be built?"
???Y???es. It has become a necessity and that neces
sity must become greater year by year. Two or
three millions is not a great sum in a community
like this and especially in the face of a necessity,
and 1 do not think it would deter persons from un
dertaking it when placed aloncside the advantages
to be derived from it."
???Mr. Kimball seems greatly interested in
and is no doubt a valuable acquisition to your com
pany?"
???Mr. Kimball is lfota member of our company. I
am glud. however, to see him working on the same
line. We wan t the canal, and it does not matter so
much who builds it, so it is built.???
???What is yctir purpose in regard to this canal and
work - ???'
???Our object is to supply to theelty that which has
long been l'elt cs a great need The survey demon
strates that a canal can be built at a reasonable cost,
and our purpose is to lay the matter before capital
ists and induce men of financial ability tesunder-
take it. We propose further to add our mile to its
accomplishment. ???
Here the marshal of the supreme court interrupt
ed the reporter with the information that the pres
ence of the elerk was needed, and the interview was
closed.
Hearing that Mr. Walker P. Inman was also a
member of the company, the reporter sought
that gentleman???s presence and found
him, as usual,deeply immersed in business and sur
rounded by a host of tieople eagerly awaiting their
turn tor a word with him. As soon as opportunity
offered the reporter remarked;
???Mr. Inman, I hear that you are a member of a
company which proposes to build the canal.???
???\cs, I am interested in the matter and hope some
time to see it carried into effect.???
???When was this company organized????
???Several years ago; 1 do not know exactly how
long. I was not in the list of corporators, bui be
came a member and director last spring. At that
time they were fully organized, and I was sur
prised to find how much work had been done,
surveys and examinations had already been made
sufficient to determine the route to be taken, and
the right of way had been secured.???
???You have made a survey recently, have you
not????
Yes, during the past summer, to settle some
points in doubt, and these have been fully dis
posed of.???
"Is the result satisfactory ns to cost?"
???Yes; the work will not cost more than promises a
very fair interest on the investment. For instance,
the engineer, if I recollect aright, puts the aggi
gate horse powov at about 25,000. This sold at per
annum would give an income of $375,000. The ton
nage will no doubt pay something, perhaps enough
to meet current expense of maintenance and re
pairs. This would justify the expenditure of even
a larger sum than tnat named.???
"Do you think that so large a water power could
be disposed of????
1 ???Yes: such has been the experience elsewhere.
Similar works have had to be enlarged so as to meet
the demand. This has been tiie case with the Au
gusta canal and with others that I might name. We
need the water as a motive power???we need it for
sanitary purposes, and I do not see that we can get
along without it much longer. We need it also for
other purposes, and our present supply must be
enlarged or the deficiency may be se
riously felt at no distant day. For
these reasons I do not think there will be difficulty
in disposing of all the water that maybe brought
here.and for the same reason I think the investment
will be profitable. There is another point. 1 think
it wou'
adding thereby to tho value o'f all property within
her limits: would give us greater security against
fire, and wou d solve the sewerage question, which
is year by year becoming more perplexing. With
such a supply we could nave the best system possi
ble. Atlanta is admirably located for manufactur
ing, and her only need is water power. With this
supplied I think her future assured.???

KIDNEY WORT
???WHY?
An Un??uccc??*ful Effort to Capture Thera In Kentucky.
Louisville, November 1.???Tiie Courier-
Journal???s Bowling Green special says that an
organized effort was made Friday night to
capture the James brothers in Logan county
near Adairsville, It had been rumored for
several days that robbers were in the neigh
borhood. A woman wrote to Governor Black
burn on tiie I0th that they intended to attack
tiie Louisville and Nashville railroad at Coles-
burg soon. Governor Blackburn received
tiie letter at York town and turned
over to tiie railroad authorities, but
in doing this and organizing sev
eral days were lost. Detectives L. ilazen. of
Cincinnati; G. W. Hunter, of Bardstown
and Sam 51. Adams, of this city, organized an
attacking party, which was under the direc
tion of Hunter j who captured Grove Kenne
dy. The party met at Russellville Friday
evening and numbered sixteen men. selected
witli special reference to their cool courage.
They were armed to the teeth with Winches
ter 'riiies, double-barreled shot-guns and pis-,
tols. They arrived at 4 o'clock a.in., at the
house of Hiles, near Adairsville, where the
robbers were known to have been a few days
previous. They surrounded tiie house," u
large two-story frame, and waited for day
light. About 5 a.m., Hite went to the barn
where some of the posse were concealed and
was detained. Others then aroused tiie in
mates of the house, and every window was
covered by Hunter???s men. After several calls
a half-witted son of Hite was seen to step out
on tiie upper portico and crawl to the e ge
and peep over between the banister and floor,
as if looking for some one. Some of the men
were ready*to fire upon him, thinking lie was
one of tiie robbers. He was hailed and told to
get back into the house, which lie did in
stantly. Hunter, Adams and Hardy then ap
proached tiie front door, while others came
up from the rear. After a thorough search of
the premises, it was found that the ???birds'
had flown. It is thought they are near
Bardstown. It is also thought they murdred
a negro who was found dead near Adairsville,
ten .lavs ago, for having accidentally discov
ered them in the woods.
Why Southern Cotton Factories Pro*per.
Rochester, New York. Morning Herald.
It is stated that the co-a of placing a year's cotton
crop In the New England market is S10S.000.000, of
which over SM.000,000 is paid for freight and in
surance. Is it any wonder that southern cotton
factories are prosperous, when by working up the
product of their fields at even less cost than it can
be done in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and
selling theit cloth at their doors, they can save more
than one-half of the total expense mentioned above,
or say, $50,000.

Hell, of the University, says:
???I have read with great interest tho series of sto
ries published in the Athens Chronicle, entitled
???Boy Life on the Sea Coast,??? and think the author
should have them published in more substantial
form. The scenes are true and natural, graphically
described. The delineation of the low country
negro is inimitable. (Signed) I??? II Msix."
