A Sank, Short of a Million Dollars, Brine* About the 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.

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 was introduced by the presi dent of the fair association. Immediately alter Cleveland rose, a great cheer went up from tho multitude of 15,000 persons present, shouting themselves hoarec. The governor???s remarks were listened to with great attention, and he was often interrupted with cheers, lie spoke 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. TDK NfOHT DRM0N8TEATX0N. Tlio grandest party demonstration ever made in Elmira took ploco to-night in honor of Governor Cleveland. The trains returning into the city early in the morning were loaded with popple, a majority of whom remained over to-night* Between 6 nnd 7 o???clock this evening f special trains arrived on *11 the roada reaching tbo city. 1???coplo came In by thousands. From o o???clock until 8 the nir was resonant with tho music of bunds heading tho viaiting delega tions which came from all directions from a hundred Julies around. At 8:89 a line com- noted of ftilly 7,000 men. headed uy tho young men???s democratic club of El mira, got under way. The line of march was through the principal streets. Tho pa rade was revieweq by Gov. Cleveland from tbo Ilathburn house. The crowd in front of the balcony waa so dense that the parade could hardly force its way through. The prpeereion waa also reviewed by Mrs. l'arnall, who was at the residence of Hon. J. J. O???Cpnner. The line of march was nn almost continuous blase of Illumination. Gov. Cleveland waa obliged to stand for two hour* while the vast line of torches waa passing. After it had pauBd Colonel O???Brien, of new York, dismissal the throng with a few words, which were cheered to the echo. AN INFORMAL RECEPTION. Governor Cleveland then repaired to the interior of the Ralhburn houae, and held on informal reception.

No companions can be of value in the congressional election, be cause tho present members were elected on n general tioket after the representation of tbe 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.

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.
