WIi-D WITH EXCITEMENT.

Salcido of the Ooohicr and the President- Vwa
of the Directors Nearly Dead-Terrible
/ Scenes Witncased on the Street.
Nkw Bbuxswick, N. J., September 8.???Pres
ident Mahlon Runyan cut his throat in the
water closet of the National bank with a small
knife this morning. He was implicated in
the thievery with Cashier Hill. There is
great excitement here. The excitement over
the double suicide bns become intense. The
statement furnished by these' officials in Jane
of the current year showed the paid up cap
ital to be $250,000; surplus $125,000 and undi
vided profits $78,180. There bos been noth
ing in the public history of the bank since
-that data to cause any uneasiness to the
stockholders. The suicide ot President Run
yan, while strengthening a testimony of giant
frauds in the management, caused undoubted
astonishment to the public. *
ABTOCKDIWO DEVELOPMENTS MADE.
Bank Examiner Shelly has discovered a de
ficit of over $1,000,000 in surplus cash and se
curities. The town is wild. Men rush frantic
ally to the doors of the National bank only to
be told that the business of the institution is
suspended for the present. Ira Voorhees??? es
tate is partially ruined. Cashier Hill was left
as the custodian oi this estate of bonds and se
curities. He made away with them all. Over
$70,000 was taken here. Of G. B. Addrian???s
estate over $30,000 is gone. Mahlon Runyan,
who committed suicide, had $60,000 in govern
ment bonds. He had negotiated for the salo
of these, and consumated some three days be-
foro his death, liuuyau knew nothing of Hill's
doings, trusting him implicitly. The crash in
Wall street, in May last, took
iho balk ol Hill???s stealings. Runyan,although
f uite popular, was ignorant of tho business'-,
[e was a willing tool in the hands of the de
signing cashier, who had the run of tho insti
tution.
PBE8IDKNT RUNYAN???* ARRIVAL.
At 0:45 a. in. President Runyan drove up to
the bank in his carriage. He was accompanied
by his two daughters.
^Good-bye, puna," said Julia, the eldest,
peaching out of the carriage, as Mr. Runyan
descended to the pavemont.
???I hope all will be well. If you do not seo
me before night,??? he responded, ???tell mama I
will stick to the bank.???
Twenty minutes later he sent to Chief Gor-
cld, who was in charge of tho bank, for a
copy of tho New York Times, in which tho
etory was told of his complicity,in the bank's
downfall. Securing the paper he went into
tho room occupied by the organizing directors,
and began to read. A deathly pallor spread
ever his face, and bo exclaimed:
???My God, what will my children do????
Passing a handkerchief over his brow ho
threw the paper into tho lap ot Director Stod
dard, and; excusing himself, went into tho
toilet room of the bank.
THE FATAL WOUNDS llffLICTED.
IgA moment later the sound of a fall was
Heard. The directors rushed to the closot aud
discovered Runyan on tho iloor. Blood was
oozing from tho gaping wound in his throat.
Determined in *uiciding, he hod cut his wrists
deeply, tho blood spurting against tho wall
and ceiling. The thousands of people outside
were horrified. ???Shull we raid tho bank????
was tho question which agonised tho deposi
tors. The formers from the country joined
the throng and shouted for their money.
Thirty police flanked the street, and with dif
ficulty quelled the rising disturbance. At 1 *20
ono of tne directors, Johnson Letson. was re
ported dead. Investigation rovealeq tho fact
'that he had become exhausted on account of
tho strain on his nerves. He was a heavy
stockholder, and had deposited trust fundi.
Charley Davis, clerk of the bank, who had
been reported dead, waa found alivo at 1:45
p. m.
A MAN WHO SAW TUB DANONE ADE-lD.
Martin A. Hawaii, who withdrew aa direc
tor eight year* ago said: ???I saw it coming.
Charley Hill was too liberal. The republican
S arty went to hiui aa a bnukcr for funds. Ho
oubtlcsa took back the surplus to aid friends.
Knowing the condition of affairs I quietly
withdrew.??? . . ,,, ,
??*Why did you not let tho public know your
ausplcionsV???
???I waa advised not to do so.???
???By whom????
???By the directors.???
The effect on the town is crushing. The
wildest excitement prevails. Tho streets are
thronged with country depositors. Fears
of a raid on tho bank aro . increas
ing. Ono * hundred special policeman
have been sworn in by the mayor to surround
tho bank property.
The coroner???* jury, in the case of Mahlon
Runyan's death, returned a verdict of wilful
suicide.
AMAZKI) AND HORNIFIND.
At 4 o???clock, inside the banl{, Acting Cosh

t ???Wbat do you know???? the reporter asked.
???I am amazed and horrified over the affair,
y heart???s blood might have been spilt for
Charley, but when 1 see what is about to oc

???Give mo something tangible, will yon???? _

???Explain,??? said the reporter.
??? ???As meisenget to nnd Jrom Hall, Garten fc

I have had fear* of the present result for six
months, but kept ujnuouth closed.???
???Because l feared expulsion by the direc-
t0 ???i)id you think Hill crooked?"
???Perhsps,??? hesitating, '/I might
as well make an ??pen breast of the whpl?? af-

Be evidently ruined himself by rendering aid
to the republican party, as well as in Wall
street and the races.???
???What else????
???Some time since ho wanted a newspaper.
He put the money in the bands of Tindall x
Hose to start the Eveuing Star, a republican
paper, to denounce tbe management of affairs
.by the democrat*. Ho*e skipped tbo city,
owing to a libel suit. The paper went up, and
with it Hill???s future prospects ot popularity.
FALLS DEAD IN A FAINT.
Joseph Fisher, senior custodian of Voorhees
and Tate, refused to divulge why he bad not
signed the release proffered by Hill when the
sale of tbe bonds might have effected it.
???No. sir." he said, ???I am not such
a rascal ?????? to take landed
estate from the Voorhees boys, and you will
find me always on the side of the weak.
???Was Hill in your cofidence????
???No, no!??????hesitatingly.
???What do you know about this trouble?
???The question startled him, and he fell to
the pavement in 4 faint. He waa picked up
and carried home by the police,

as follows:
fJOVERNOR CLEVELAND'S IPKECIf.
It nfiords mo great pleasure to meet you here
to-day, to have nn opportunity of Inspecting the
annuul exhibition which illustrates the condition
of the agriculture of our state. I regard three
annuul fairs as something connected with
tho state .government, as at least they
ore fostered and aided by public, fundi
and I am sure that no good citizen 1* inclined to
complain of the sppropriatloa of a small part of
the people???s money to the encouragement of thu
Important Interest. Tho fact that this 1* done fnr*
nlehcfl a distinct recognition by tho state of tho
valuable relation which its formers and its farms
bear to the prosperity and welfare of the common
wealth. We boast of our manufactures, exceed ing
as they do, largely those of any other state, hut
our supremacy is clearly shown when we recall
the fact that in addition to our lead la manufac
tures, tho value of our farms nnd their product*
is second only among tho states. Thcro is a fix
edness and reliability In agricultural pursuits
which arc not always found in other branches of
industry and human effort. Tho soil remain* In
its place ready to be tilled, and tho farmer, with
ruddy health end brawny arm, depend* alone
upon the work of his hands and tho aid
produce, or have within their reach, all they
lor their necessities and for their comfort. Their
ciops may bo more abundant at ono harvest than
another, and their product* may command higher
prices at ono. market than a .other. Three eondi-
riots expand or contract their ability to indulge
in luxuries or In expenditure* not absolutely
uecdtuL but they should never be in want of tho
iKccftsarics or comforts of life. This i* the auro
result of patient and well regulated farming.
W hen the fanner falls or becomes bankrupt in his
business, we may, 1 think, confidently look for
shiltlcstnas or a too ambitions desire to own more
hind orstock than he can care for, or intermed
dling with matters that bear no relation to his, or
sueh mismanagement and Iguoniuco a* demon
strate* that ho has mistaken his vocation, bor-
tunes may be quickly amassed in speculation, and
lost in a day, leaving a Ixid example, and pernap*
demoralization and crime. Tho tradesman or
manufacturer, by the vicissitudes of trade or
through tho allurements ol a short read to wealth
nn.y, in a day, be overcome and bring disaster and
ruin upon hundreds of his neighbors; but in tho
industrious, intelligent and contented farmer, tho
state finds a safe and proll tabic citizetj, always con-
rJLntJng to Its wealth nnd pros parity. Tho real
value of tho farmer to tho state nnd nation I* not,
however, fully appreciated until wo consider that
he see* millions of our people, who are ongagDd ln
olbcr pursuits, that tbo product of his labor fills
tbe avenues of our commerce and supplies an im-
partnut factor in our financial relation.* with other
nations. I bavo not come to attempt to plcam
you with cheap and fulsome praise, nor to magnify
your worth and your Importance, bull have com??,
ns chief executive of the state, to acknowledge, on
Its own behalf, that our farmers yield a full return
for the benefits they receive from the stole govern
ment. 1 have come to remind you of tho import
ance of the Interests which you have
in charge, nnd to, suggest that, not
withstanding the farmers independence
ho can not and roust not bo entirely unmindful
of tho value aud importance to tho interestsi ho
holds of a Just and economical government. It to
bis right and duty to demand that all unjust and
inequitable burden* upon agriculture aud Its
prtducts, however cause*!, should bo removed,
and that while the furtherance of the other Inter
ests of tbe state havo due regard, this Important
one should not be ueglcctcd. Thus by hla labor
as a farmer, and in the full performance of bis
duty aa a citizen, ho will create and secure to him-
???elf hi* share of tbe .rerolt fit hi* toll, and save
and guard for all people tho most Important ele
ment In tho prosperity of tho state.

be of value in the congressional election, be
cause tho present members were elected on n

state lmd been cut down from five to four, and
the state redistrictcd.
A DEMOCRATIC INDICATION.
Biddcford gives Robie 976; Redman, 1,386,
a democratic majority of 410. In 1880 Bidde-
ford gave 67 republican majority. Lowiston
gives ltobie 1,512: Redfium 1,599, a democratic
majority of 67. In 1880 Lewiston gave 125 ro-
publican majority. Congressman Dingley, In
nis own city, Lewiston, gets the samo vote im
Robie for governor. Tho democrats aro jubi
lant over both these towns. Both ato factory
cities.
Portland gives Robie, republican, for gov
ernor, 3,971; Redman, democrat, 3,214: scat
tering, 62: republican plurality, 757. In 1880
the republican vote was 3,536, democrat 3,102,
a plurality of 234, being a gain of 523. Tho
plurality waa about the samo in 1882. Long
Island is still to bo heard from. Rood, for
congress, falls behind, having 37 plu
rality exclusive of tho island, but
the democrat* concede hit election and tho
republicans claim 500 to 1,300 majority in tho
district.
* THE NKrtTBLICAN MAJORITY GROWING
Twenty-fivo town* in Washington county,
polling about four-fifths of tho total vote, give
Robio 3,909, Redman 2,492, a republican ma
jority of 1,419. The same towns in 1882 gave
Robie 1,000. Tho majority on the voto or tho
remaining towns on tho wholo will be about
equal, ana Robie will undoubtedly have 1,300
and probably 1,400 majority in tho county.
Tho republicans elect both senators by largo
majorities, and seven representative* sure,
probably eight, out of the ton. Returns from
all over tho county show a large republican
gain, netting between three or Tour hundred.
The towns of Biddoford, Klttry, Lyman,
Old Orchard, Saco and Kcnuebeo give Reed
for congress 191 majority. Tho same towns in
1682 gave Ilced 742 majority. Tho indications
arc that tho republicans elect tho whole tickot
in York county.
Every town in Lewis counter, excepting
Lewiston, shows a republican gafu. Dingloy,
republican, is re-elected to congress from this
district by nearly 3,000 majority, running
ahead of his ticket, and the other counties give
large majorities for tho prohibitory amend
ment, Lewiston being tho only place to givo a
ni llctunis?p n to m idnight indicate a republi
can plurality of over 13,000. An estimate based
on tnc returns recoived give Iteed a majority of
6,000, in tho first district, with Dingloy, Mflli-

alliance, claims that tho prohibition amend
ment will bar* 6,000 majority In tho state.
One hundred and eighty towns givo Robie
47,376; Redman, 34,753; scattering, 1,939; ro-
pubublicnn plurality and gala over 1880,
12,623. Tho samo towns in 1882 gavo Robie
34,431; lTaistcd, 36,834; scattering 1,077; plu
rality 0,607; again over 1882 of 0,020. Thia
indicates 17,000 plurality. Thirty-six towns
In tho first district placo Rood about 500
abend of Cleaves.
Bcecretary Morrison, of the temperance al
liance, reports returns of the voto on tho proj
hibition amendment received from 200 towns,
giving ???yes??? 74,600, ???no??? 20,505, showing it
waa carried by 53,905 majority at least. Prob
ably it will exceed 60,000.
TIIK FINAL CAST UP.
Two hundred and slxty-sovcn towns givo
Robio G1,3I8; Kedinnu, 4,584; scattering.
2,418; plurality, 10,251. Tbo samo towns
in 1882 gavo lloblo 56,195: Plaistcd
<7,510; scattering 1,464, plurality 8,683. Tho
???(owns.to hear from gavo Robio . 10,286 and
IMaisted 16,411. IlobTo'will havo ovcr'16,000
plurality In a total voto of about 140,000. Tho
voto of 1680 gave a total plurality of 109,000,
so'that the gain this year will bo 16,000 on the
gubernatorial voto oi 1880. Tho presidential
vote that year gained 9,000 on tlio guberna
torial vote, and probably will gain in Novem
ber considerably on this. All four ro|Mibli-
enn congressmen are elected, nnd tho legisla
ture will bo overwhelmingly republican.

Fellow-citizens and Ola Friend*: The republi
cans Of Mslnepnay well congratulate themselves
on tbe magnificent victory which they have won.
Four year* ago this evening wo wero overwhelmed
and humiliated by the low of tlie state. We re
joice now over an unparalleled triumph, which I*
registered by the choice of both branches of the
legislature, by tbo election of all tho representa

majority for Governor uoble of pernsp* 13,two

gentlemen, Is known to us all. Our canvas*
bos been conducted on one great u*ue;
oifr papers have kept that constantly
before the people; every speaker from every plat
form has enunciated, defended, enforced It???It 1*
the irtuc of protection to American labor. It haa
been almost tho only question discussed In our
cauvass, and tho people have itnpomled nobly.
They understand tho subject fully. They know
the detail* of the Morrison toriff bill,and they
read therein tbe precise reralto which would fol
low If our opponent* should obtain control of the
national government. They see and they
know, that the Morrison bill enacted
into a law would seriously cripple, tf
not destroy, the leading Industrial Interests of
Maine; that it would reduce the wage* of every
Maine bare prole.test wUnat tbe enartnwnt ol u
