Berry, reached Wayneaburg, having been hurriedly sent thereby the State Treasurer to try to ascer tain whether the bondsmen of the defunct Farnrrs and Drovers' Na tional Bank will make good the $76,? 000 of State funds on deposit there. Much alarm is felt for the safety of the deoo?H, and* the indications are that the S'ato will have to take chances with the other depositors, in that case, .criminal action will be be* in at once against the bank offl cia'a by tho Statp. ? It was found that the minute book of ts.e bank, containing tho names ol the bondsmen, had disappeared. The bond 011 file at Harrisburg contains the names of fourteen men: M. Say era, George W. Gordon, Samuel Har vey, G. H. Moredook, George N. Rlhe hart, J. B. P. Rlne^art, Daniel S. Walton, Samuel M. Smith, C. IJ, Bowlby, A. B. Reese, W. A. Hook.^J. Bv Donley, S. \y. Scott and John I.

Wal ton is the nresident of the bank, and .John I. Worley is dead. The State Tr?as<irer's cashier will try to learn who the present bondsmen are. It became known that there were rumors of crookedness in the affairs of the Wavnesborg Bank more than a year ago, when the fght for Staje Treasurer was on and when many ^anks were be'.ng attacked from the sturflp. At that time Its affairs were in su^h serious shape that it might have .been forced to the wall, and it was not brought publicly into the controversy. Six months a?Q, the Government was cognizant of the affairs of *he ' ank, it was said.* Previous to June 1 the Controller of tho Currency de manded tho resignation of Rtnehart as cashier. Th^j resignation was handed In. and Harry George, assist ant to National Bank Examiner Cun ningham, waS nlaced in the bank with the title of assistant cashier, the position of cashier being held onen Rinvhart continued as vice-president, and the ^ubl'i never knew that he lia^ ceased to be cashier. The people of Wavnesb.urg aro not alarmed over the failure, as prom In ent and wealthy men are behind the institution, ,The Bhookfre^ers are cashing checks on the closed bank In^ the belief the paper will be redeented.

S^ipiran, throws about $10,000,* 000 of the estate of wealthy Chica gopns into the scales of charity. In the Yerkes case Judge Sanborn held that the 15,000,000 in bonds of the Chicago Consolidation Traction Company, which Is said to constitute half of the Yerkes estate, was not tho property of the underlying compa nies. This decision leaves the execu-' tors of the Yerkes estate in a position to proceed at once with the erection of the hospital and art gallery at New York, and enables Mrs. Yprkes? Misner to begin the construction of a i hospital at Chicago. BURNHAM GIVEN TWO YEARS. Insurance Officer Sentenced to Prison For Robbing Company. , I New York City. ?

Both Houses of Congress Adjourn Till After New Year. Senator Fomker Angry. Senator Foraker occupied the at tention of the Senate in its last ses sion before the holiday re<*ejjM >n an extended criticism of the bastV'of President Kooseydt's action in dis charging the negro troops of thv* Twenty-Fifth Infantry on account of the tyrownsville raid. He waH replied to briefly by Senator I/)dge, while Senator Scott sustMned the demand of the Ohio Senator for a full investi gation of the matter by the Senate committee. A . resolution directing such an investigation is before the Senate for action at its next meeting. Senator Foraker began his speech with the broad declaration that "The President . misconceived hi* constitu tional power when he discharged the troops jind he also nu*>CQn',?MV?d the testimony on which' his action was based." Continuing Mr. FcfflSer said that the President's constitutional power was simply to command the army and nnvy as commander-in-chief, while to Congress the constitution gave power to raise armies and to make rules and regulations for its government. The regulations prescribed that no man could be summarily discharged with a right to be tried and the articles of war, he arglicd, prescribed minutely how those trials are to be conducted. That all punishment should he in ac <?< r^anoe wiuPthc direction of courts ma.'tiaj. He contended after reitlin * at lcn.'th from the articles of war it is inconconceivahle that the President should be absolutely without restraint Duty of Court-Mar\icl. The President, he said, s/ated in his message that these- soldiers were r.uilty of mutiny and had been dis charged for that reason. He follow ed tliis with the article of wai providing that a courtvm utial j?h?>u' ! diiect this punishment. This was all to ruard against the excieise of an a; t< u:Hic power. CongreBS to pro vide against excessive punishment, had limited the penalties. Mr. Foraker cited cases fun the work of General Davis on m " tary law, where the refusal to n v testimony was an offense under tl?: bend of "disorder," and was punish able by court-martini. Senator Lodre asked an explnna lion of the" 352 discharges from the ^miy "without honor" during the ,PPt year, but Mr. Foraker contended that these discharges had not been ordered as p punishment. The men in these cases have been separated from the service in lieu of punish ment by court-martial, and in cases Mj|liere the men would rather take a ?discharge without honor than remain in the service and take punishment. The case of the negro troops was al together different. The negroes had desired to stay in the service. As t<r punishment in these cases he read the President's remark that hi regarded the discharge as punishment wholly inadequate. Mr. Forakr agreed that if the men were guilty of murder the punishment was wholly inadequate, but if they weie innocent the punishment was brutaliv harsh "as these men go forth branded a* .murderers and conspirators and per fearers.'' ^The resolution of Mr. Fornker goe* ,/ver without action until after tlr. holiday recess. The Senate adjoiwn ed until January 3, 1907. Adjourns For The Holidays. * After being in Session )three-quar ters ctt an hour the House adjourned until January 3, 1907J Empty desks greeted the Speaker when the Housi* convened and even among the mem bers who remained the desire to {Jet ?way for the holidays was suprior t. the inclination for business. Representative Mondell, of Wyom ing, succeeded in oassing his bill ex tending the time in which entryme.i nay make final settlement on (lit Shoshone Indian reservation. Representative Payne, of New York, called up his resolution rohit ing to" the distribution of the Prcui dent's annual messages to the severs' committees in accordance with a cus tom that has existed since the foun Nation of the government. The House resolved itself into u committee of the whole' with Repres entative Lacy, of Iowa, in the chair, and the references by the various parts of the message to appropriate committees -Were discussed.
