Did Nut fio There-He Wsaln Bad Health. Lawrence Pulliutu, cashier of the Na tional bank of Asheville, left the city on the 2:30 p. m. train, Saturday, December 30, since which time nothing has been learned of his whereabouts. Mr. Pulliam, a few days before his de parture, stated that be had made up his mind to so to Philadelphia to undergo treatment at the hands of Dr. Thomas, a physician of that city, and an old friend of Mr. Pulliam's father. A package containing $0,20(1 in cash was made up to be sent to corres pondents of the bank of which Mr. Pulliam was cashier, in Washington and New York. Instead of expressing the remittance Mr. Pulliam, it is believed, took tbe money with bin. On tbe same day a package of coupons was expressed to New York, and it should have arrived at the destination at the same time as did tbe money. In due time, about ''.be middle of last week, the bunk here received an acknowledg ment of the receipt of the package sent bv express but nothing was heard of the cash carried bv Mr. Pulliam. In this condition ot thingsa meeting 'of the bank directors was called, and an examination made, which showed that no larger amount than the $6,200 was unaccounted tor. Then W. W. tones. esq., as attorney for the bank, was sent to New ork to inquire whether there was any further deficiency there. Mr. ones found no further complications in Aew York and returned last Tuesday The books ot the bank here have been thoroughly examined and there has been developed no shortage further than the amount stated. The bank will not be a loser in any event, ns it is guaranteed against loss through Mr. Pulliam by a bond ol $1U,UU0 in the f idelity and Casualty company of New York. So, ths $0,200 is not recovered the guarantee company will be the only loser, in regard to this, W, H. Penland, cashier of the First National bank, when asked about it bv nil; Citizen, explained that the guar antee of the New York company required them to make good any loss throueh shortage in the account of nn officer bonded by them in case such u shortage should be found to exist, and that it was the custom ot all conservative banks to bond their officials in this manner as a protection against loss. The new s of this occurence has caused a profound sensation in Asheville, ami is the topic of general conversation on the street. Mr, Pulliam has b en one of the city's best known men, both in business and social circles, having spent all of his life in this city, the town ot bis birth. He was a man of great energy, and of good business capacity. Kegarding this un fortunate affair, and considering his place in the community, it is but justice to Mr. Pulliam to make a statement of Dlatresmlnu: Accldeut To Catcher Bennett of The Boaion Nine. WiiLLSMi.i.K, Kan., an. 11.

Mr. Pullium has been m poor health several years, his ailment being known as kidney cole. For months past he has been subject to periodical t tacks ol his trouble, which attacks occurred nearer together with each suc- ceding scizu.c. Dr. lobn Hey W illiams, one ut Mr. ulliam's physicians, in conversation with The Citizkn today, said that he was called to Mr. Pulliam's house re cently while that geulleman hail one of these attacks, the pain winch Mr. ulliam suffered at such times was most xcruciating, requiring the use of mor phine and chloroform to relieve it. Tho isappearance ol the pain would leave the patient very weak and depressed in spirits. Dr. Williams, considering it to ic bis duty to do so, talked plainly with Mr, Pulliam, telling him his exact condi- ion, and intorming mm ol the inevitable result unless an operation should be per formed. Dr. Williams referring to Air. 'ulliam's disappearance, was inclined to the beliei that be had had one of his attacks while on the train and had been taken off and conveyed to one of the many hospitals in Washington or Plula dclphia where he is under treatment. Or, it may be that Mr. Pullium, with his mind affected by pain and the ti) 'light r the possible outcome ot the operation hud lelt tbe train and wandered, no one knows where. He had certainly been greatly depressed in spirits tor some time. Dr. Chas. S. Jordan, who has attended Mr. Pulliam during numerous attacks, also states to Tub Citizen that the patient was very much depressed on account of his condition. Dr. Jordan says further that Mr. Pulliam when he lelt carried a syringe and morphine to administer himself in case of an attack, Concerning Mr. Pulliam's destination when he left Asheville, Prank R. Darby, tbe R. & D. ticket agent at the depot, tells The Citizen that he remembers selling a ticket to Mr. Pulliam about the time lie is thought to have lelt, and is under the impression, although not posi tive, that his ticket rend to Philadelphia. Trainmaster K. P. Poster says he saw Mr. Pulliam on the train at Terrell's, near the Swanuinon tunnel. In reply to the question as to where he was going, Mr. Pulliam replied that he "was only going on a little trip," Mr. rullinm s usual answer, his mends recall, to sucb an imiuirv. though nt the same point be said to Hardy Lee of this city that he was going to Philadelphia to undergo a surgical operation, Mr. Pulliam is also reported ns having liecn seen as fnr east as Morgantnn. A telegram was sent to Ur. 1 nomas, the physician in Philadelphia to whom Mr, Pulliam was expected to go, inquir ing if he had becu seen, but the reply was in the negative. A similar telegram of inquiry was sent, with like result, to Johns Hopkins hospital at Baltimore. Besides being cashict ot tne National bank of Asheville, Mr. Pulliam was the head of the firm of Pulliam & Webb, in surance agents. He lived in quiet style and did not have expensive tastes, tie owns a house and lot on North Main street, although be has been living on Bcardcn avenue. He is a brother-in-law of Kobt. M.

Wamiinoto.n, Ian. 11. Secretary Car lisle proposed an issue of bonds to the Senate Committee on Finance yesterday afternoon. Senators Yoorhees, Harris, and (ones of Arkansas, Vest, Sherman, Mlison and ones of Nevada were present. Mr. Carlisle said he wanted authority to issue bonds and so stated to the com mittee iu as few words. He thiuks au ibsiie ol bonds the simplest way to meet the apparently approaching crisis in the treasury. The Secretary dwelt briefly upon the rapidly diminishing gold reserve aud staled that instead of increasing as he had hoped tbi government receipts would now, ficy had continued to dimin ish until there was coming to be a monthly gap of about $10,000,000 be tween the receipts and expenditures. He thought, therefore, that it was ex pedient that Congress should take steps to provide against the evil. He asked that the act ot 1875, for the resumption of specie payments, which also author izes a bond issue, should be so amended as to permit the issuance for shorter time and at a lower rate of interest than is provided for in that act. The lowest rate ot interest named in the bonds pro vided for in the act is 4 per cent., and the time for the 4- per cent, bonds is 30 years. Mr. Carlisle said he thought it would be a very easy matter to sell bonds enough to tide over the present emer gencyto meet the prospective deficiency ol the present fiscal year at three per cent, interest and running for three, four oi five years. There was a geucrnl interchange ol opinion among the members of the com mittce. Enough was developed to show that it is going to be very difficult for the committee to agree upon a bill.
