DEFAULTING BANKER AND FORGER
KILLS HIMSELF IN FREDERICKS
BURG. One of the Most Extensive Series of
Forgeries Ever Known, Running
Into the Hundred Thousands.
By Telegraph to The News.
Juneai', Wis., Oct. 2. A dis-
irom Fredericksburg, Va.. stales
mat tne abse ending banker, W. T.
Itambusch. has commit.tpd cui ! Ail
ltambusch, has

disappeared from Juneau. He had
bml' oue of the most .,le
izens ot the place and stood
high in
'T.ilieSS Circles. run vears ho rind
been trustee for various estates and
firms, and in this way it is estimated
that he handled between $2,000,000
and $3,)0u,000.
After hi3 disappearance his books,
accounts and private papers were
examined and he was found to be a
a defaulter for a large sum. It was
also found that he had "raised"
deeds, draughts, checks and other
paper that passed through his hands,
and had levied this toll on the paper
of every trust he had ever handled.
The forgeries so far as known
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars.
The forgery had been going on
for fifteen years without detection.
YELLED HIM DOWN.
The Crowd Boisterously Interrupted
Mr. Clark in His Speech Last Night.
Mr. W. W. Clark, of Newbern,
candidate for elector-at-large on the
Palmer-Buckner ticket in North
Carolina, spoke at the court house
last night to a fair sized crowd.
Mr. Clark is an excellent gentle
man and a srood lawyer. He lives in
Newbern.
Mr. James C. Long, the Palmer
Buckner State committeeman who
lives here, introduced the speaker.
Mr. Clark is a very earnest, force
ful speaker, and from his standpoint
made a very good speech, tilled with
the usual "fifty cent dollar"stuff and
other gold bug padding.
All went smoothly until he said:
"If you want to get fifty cent dollars
in the same quantity you now get
hundred cent dollars, vote for free
silver."
Tbe crowd shook itself and broke
loose in a series of whistles, yells,
groans and cheers for Brvan. The
speaker's voice was drowned by the
crowd.
As soon as a streak of silence came,
Mr. Clark exclaimed, "You are stand
ing on the Chicago platform now!"
And then the crowd groaned and
whistled and yelled at him again
Mr. Heriot Clarkson, Democratic
candidate for the Legislature, at last
appealed to the crowd to give Mr.
Clark a hearing, and after this they
quieted down.
It ip to be regretted that Mr. Clark
was interrupted. The same inter
ruptions, though hot quite so bois
terous, were made when Messrs.
Vinton and Patterson spoke here a
few nights ago.
TO STOP THE FLOW OF GOLD.
England Will Raise Discount Rate.
New York Paying a Premium for
Gold.
Bv Telegraph to Tne Aews.
London, Oct. 21. It is the gen
eral belief that the directors of the
Bank of England at their regular
weekly meeting tomorrow will raise
the rate of discount from three to
four per cent.
The newspapers agree that the
flow of gold to America must be
stopped. The St. James Gazette
says: "According to the exchange ex
ports the present rate does not allow
anv margin of profit to shippers, SO
that a premium on gold is evidently
paid in New York by those who are
so nervous in regard to the political
situation as to insist upon hoarding
gold.

MRS. CASTLE i WILMINGTON GIRL
1
San Francisco, Cal., October 17.
There are in this city two ladies
who have known Mrs. Walter Castle
all her life. They ars Mrs. Chas. D.
Stearns and Miss Ida Morrison, her
sister. Their home for many years
was in Wilmington, N. C, and there
it was that thej became intimate with
Mrs. Castle, who wa3 then Miss Ella
Weil . They were aware at that time
that Miss Weil had an uncontroll
able mania for taking what did not
belong to her, and they have made
sworn affidavits stating this fact, to
be sent to London where Mrs. Castle
and her wealthy husband are now
under $150,000 bond, charged with
shoplifting.
'Ella Weil was a beautiful and
charming young wo'nan," said Miss
Morrison. "Every one in Wilming
ton knew of her unfortunate weak
ness, but nevertheless she was a uni
versal favorite. She was tbe belleof
the town. She was prominent in
social circles, and at times so
pronounced was her mania, that she
would take little things. People
knew she could noi help jt, and we
all hoped in time she would get over
her failing. But she never did.
There was no reason why she should
appropriate what did not belong to
her, for her people were wealthy and
she had everything she wanted.
Everything was done to cure her of
her mania, and finally she was sent
out here in the hope that a complete
change might be benefiei.d. Ihat
was twelve years ago. I have seen
her but once since then. We all
knew it was a disease. Her family
had an understanding with the mer
chants of Wilmington, and whatever
she appropriated was alwavs paid
for." '

COTTON PICKERS REGISTERED.
South Carolina Negroes' Names on
the Books. Convicts Registered
Under Assumed Names.
A gentleman from Providence
who was here Wednesday says a large
number of negroes who live in Soutn
Carolina have registered in that
township.
These negroes came into Mecklen
burg county for the cotton picking
season, and will stay here until after
the election.
They say the Republican mana
gers and Populist committeemen ad
vised them to register anyway; say
ing that if they were not challenged
it would be a clear gain, and if they
were not allowed to vote it would be
no loss.
A number of young negro boys
who gave in no tax returns last June
and are really under twenty years
old, have registered, stating their
ages uniformly as "twenty-three."
They will all be prosecuted for fail
ing to make tax returns.
It is said that Providence town
ship has several ex-convicts who
have been living there all the time
except for their term of imprison
ment who have brazenly gone to the
registration places and regi:ered
under assumed names.
BENTLEY IN THE RACE.
Candidate of National Party Has Not
Withdrawn. Expects to Speak in
N. C.
The News printed a few days ago
011 the authority of a member of the
Prohibition party in Charlotte, that
Rev. Charles E. Bentley, the candi
date of the National party (the free
silver wing of the Prohibition party)
had withdrawn. The News was re
quested to state this as a correction
of its article on Mr. Levering.
Now it turns out that the News
was right at first and Mr. Bentley is
till in t he race.
The following letter was receive
this morning:
Editor of The News.
'I notice in the News, the follow
ing: "Rev. C. E. Bentley the candi
date of the National Party (Prohibi
tion free silver) has withdrawn and
taken the stump for Bryan.'' It is a
mistake. A
private communication
from Mr.-Bentley informs me that he
has no intention ot coining down,
but is in the National Party to, stay.
I think it nothing but justice to the
National oar tv in North Carolina
that vou make this correction. Mr.
A
Bentley contemplates making a tour
of North Carolina at an early date.
