0 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, NOVEMBER 8, " \ / 18&i. 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?" . _ . , . congress due. During the past winter, or eurlv last _ ??? his return from Net. 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.??? rilMMUNSS Ll\Lit KEUtLAlOK DD GTPrTinM So numerous are the T rvU I til/ 1 IU it developments of Malarii that people continually FROM suffer from this noxiou.- poison when they leas???

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. ???Facts are stubborn things,??? and so are coughs and colds, but the latter will invariably yield to Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, which costs but 25 cents.
