Brandywine Hank Short About Twenty
Thoueand Dollar a.
Rumors were current on the street
yesterday to the effect that Evan Rice,
Cashier of the Na ional Hank of Wil
mington and Brandywine, had not been
at his post of duty for two days, and
various speculations were occasioned in
consequence thereof, it soon transpired
that Mr. Rice Was confined to his bed
by illness, and that his absence from the
cashier's desk was further enforced by the
fact tha the dis overy had been made
that he was a defaulter of the hank's
funds to an extent not as yet ascertained
hut not supposed to he over $20,000.
This startling state of atfairs—accord
ing to the stateim nt of Mr Washington
Join s, President of the Hank—was dis
covered on baturday last, when an
amination of the hank's affairs w.is made
by a Hank Examiner from Washingion.
H* soon discovered that the books had
been manipulated, ami that a defalcation
was apparent. II- at once informed the
Directors, ami Mr. Rice was quietly
ulrected not to perform his official duties
any longer.
The exact extent of the defalcation,
«cannot be ascertained until the return « .
the Hank Examiner, who i ad gone to
Washington, and will be back in a few
days, lie is confident, however, that it
will not exceed $20,000, which will not
impair the standiug of the hank in the
slightest degree, ami for w Inch the Direc
tors are resisjnsihlc.
Mr. Rice's sureties are Dr. II. Garrett,
W. G. Penny packer, and Job H. Jack
son. 1 he aim unt ot the bond is $l0,u00,
to wtii he>te it the suieti s will Le lia
ble for ti e d'-f*lcat on.
The Directors, i* is-aid, had fiequently
ha 1 their attention called to cer'aiu iian
its on the part of the cashier, which were
no' suppo ed to t o consistent iu a person
hold Mg such a r. sponsible p- siliou. Hut
his accounts api>eared to be corieet.
and he performed his duties piomptly
and effic ently, no wrong was suspected,
and 'hey contended tle-maelves with an
occasional remonstrance against his al
leged nnprojier liab.ts.
1 ins latent delalcauou now leaves only
one bank—the Hank of Delaware—in
this city, which lias net suffered by the
defalcation of a cashier. The Meehan ca'
First Na i nal), lust by the defal
cation of Sam'l Biddle, the Earmeis' by
Joseph lies'on, and the Union by
Joseph W. Day. To this may be added
the banking house of McLear A bon,
winch caused lO'S *o many people br the
failure of its managers. Ti e old Dela
ware remains the only hanking Institu
tion (not including the Savings Hanks)
which has not suffered by defalcation or
fa. lure.

Propositions introduced before the

We sugges' the following propositions
to the P., W. A H. Railroad, for the
carrying of peaches hereafter to market,
ami the prompt return of empty baskets,
for long experience lias proven that
(teaches can he more cheaply marketed
in baskets than any other w ay :
First—Take Dover as a basis or start
ing point i f the peach trade, and regulate
freight—less above Dover, and more be
low—according to miles.
Second—The ca s to load fruit in shall
have first class springs, slat doors, slat
ventiRation in each .end, with tipper
opening; with wire screen the whole
length of hoih sides clear of doors; with
four slat openings on each side of car
near the floor; with proper shelving» to

empty b.isk. ti cone tly and promptly
from commission un n in New York aud
other places in any other way, and in
time to refill and ship; and timber to
protect himself agftinai the persons who
•ells Ins peaches with the usual agree
ment to pay for all empty baskets not te
turned.
Fifth, All small fruits to be carried
to our Li gislature, now convuimd at Do
ver , that as soon as the president aud
directors of the IV W. & IJ. R R. Co.,
who are the lessees of the Delaware
Railroad, agree rot tie above propositions
