' ury- t0 defalcation MSSCjAv occurred on Saturday WjgiX 9 'BSti nd was not dis j&TjffitjyJ A covered till Monday nJST fwLffl)3rmp morning, whon the yEk failure of Jackson to ' tsS" appear nt bis post of A& vw-""ii u'y nrousd susplc- syrf! ion, and an investiga tion of bis cash showed the loss of exactly $10,000. Sub-Treasury Petective Sampson was immediately apprised at tho fact, tbo mattor being kept a secrot from everybody olso. Detectivo Sampson worked diligently on tho cose, and last night it was ascertained beyond doubt that tho defaulter was in Tor onto, Canada. This is the first loss by defalcation since tho administration of Sub-Treasurer Ilill bouso. During his term a stamp agont, who had a desk in tho Sub-Treasury building, slolo 185,000. Tho only wonder is that JaokBon did not carry away a groater sum than he did, for Mr. Cauda states that tho paying-teller handles each day sums ranging from $1,000,000 to 3,000,000 and has paid out over $9,000,000 in a single day. Tho paying-toller has not access to tho vaults, but necessarily handles enor mous amounts, and no way has ovur yet been devised for tho perfect protection of banking and other institutions against tho speculations of a dishonest paying teller. Jackson Is about thirty-six years of age. He is a son of tbo Secrotary of tno Now York Traot Society, who livos in Bosevillo, N. J. Ho has beon twico married, and has a, daughter by each wife. His prosent wifo is a daughter of a Mr. Lasollo, of Mount Vornon; Westchester County. His family relations havo not beon agroeablo of Into, and two weeks ago Mrs. Jackson ro turnod to her father's homo. It is bolievod that this domostio troublo was tho cause of Jackson's flight, for ho took tho monoy in ono lump. Jnokson was appointed to a clerkship in Fobruary, 1879, by'Bub.Trcusuror Thomas O. , Acton, on the rocommondation of a hust-of. New York's most substantial men. Ho had been employed in tho National Currency Hank and in other financial institutions. Ho had been faithful, and promotion had followed promotion, till ho was mado paying-toller, with a salary of $3,000 per annum. Ho is a IlopubUcan, but had boen retained through the Oloveland Administration. He possessed excellent qualities for tho position, uoing self-possessed and capablo. The money taken by Jackson was from tho "paying-toller's cash," and ho hud no access to the vaults, tho rules in this respect having beon made mora stringent than ever beforo on tho advent of Bub-Treasurer Canda. Tho paying-teller's cash was examined frequently, and Jackson's cash was critically counted on tho 13th inst., as is ous tomary, and again an tho 17th tho cashier counted tho monoy in Mr. Jackson's drawer, as tho latter was dotaiued at homo by ill ness. It was correct at that time. All tho indications aro that tho $10,000 was ab stracted on Saturday, tho dav of the depar ture of Jnokson for Canada. Tbo discovery of tho robbery was mado boforo business began on Monday morning. , Mr. Canda and Detectivo Sampson declined to say whether any steps had been takon for tho approhension of Jackson, but Mr. Canda remarked that he would be very glad if some ono could devise a way of obtaining his ro turn from Canada, adding : "Of course I am personally responsible for each of my clerks." Sub-Treasuror Canda is accountable under the law for tho defalcation of any of his em ployees, and ho is under a $100,000 bond, which is signed by C. P. Huntington, John I. Blair, William L. Scott. Edward Cooper, Tose" P. do Navarro, James T. Wood pard, J. H. Abeol. Charles Butler, H. V. Sowcomband John II. Dos 1'nssos. Thr& reutlemcn aro all well-known business men. they justified In $800,000, and tho bond was ipproved on Jan. 23 last. James T. Woodward, who is President of the Hanover National Bank, said this morn ing i " Wo shall not bother ourselves about the matter. Indoed, $10,000 is a more bagatelle to tho vast sums handled nt ' tho Sub - Treasury. Mr. Canda is amply able to make good tho amount lost, and we will not be called upon. t Mr. Canda has been extensively interested in the iron business, and is well to do. Ho is an old, substantial business man, who has hold many responsible positions of trust in businoss life." " Do yon think Mr. Canda can bo in any manner blamed for the robbery?" aBkedthe reporter. "How can he? No law can prevent one man from robbing another. It may only pun ish for offenses already committed." The defaulter is described as of swarthy f complexion; short and vory stout in staturo, and wearing a full block beard trimmed close. His chin is a peculiar one, receding I considerably, and he is knock-kneed. He wore whon last seen a dark suit and a bean-Back ovorcoat. Ho is an invet erate smoker and of lato tho employoos at tho Sub-Treasury say ho has looked ill and as if he had been drinking hard. . An Evenino Would roporter found Jack son's father at the ofllco of tho Tract Society. He is a tall, well-preserved man of about sixty, bis close-trimmed beard showing more white than black, and he has a mild eye and manner. . " Is tho statement in regard to yonr son corroct ?" asked the reporter. " What statement ?" inquired Mr. Jackson. This in the momliig paper," said tho reporter, showing him the acoount in The WOBIJ). Mr, Jackson read it and returned the paper, I saying! " I havo really nothing to My. This is the first I have heard of it." 'Did your son havo any extravagant ' tastes?" i "No, not that I know of." ' " Were his relations with yon friendly V Yes. He used to coma to see mo about once a month. His lost visit was about a ortnicht ago." P, ' ue B0em depressed at all then ?" ( , No." ' Did be allude to tho strained feelings be tween himself and his wife ?" , No ii I knew of it. But I supposed It was en of those things that heppea fea.uatly ftfnf aft flfM'i irtlilMtft"aiaaftfaf-Tltl fifci111 enough between husband and wifo, and that it was only a passing estrangement.'' For somo timo prior to tholr separation Jackson and his wife had been living in tho La Tourotti House, Bergen Point. Inspeotor Byrnes lias boen asked to help the United States officers to traco Jackson. It is tho gonoral impression at Polico Head quarters that an indictment will bo found against Jackson at oncd, and that inasmuch as it is tho United States Treasury which has boon robbod, Canada may not provo a safo refugo for him. AtLa Tourctte Houso, in Bergen Point, Jackson has been well known. About ten years ago, Bhortly after ho buried his first wifo, ho was introduced to Mr. James Bowman, tho proprietor, and Bpent tho entire summer there. After that ho mado frequent callsj both alone and with companions and, whilo not extravagant or boisterous, gavo evidonco of being " ono of the boys." Last June, accompanlod by his second wife and thoir soven-year-old daughter Allco, he engaged apartments for the summer. Ii was current talk that Jackson's domestic lifo was anything but happy. Two months ago, or thereabouts, Jackson joined the Staten Island Athletic Club and spent a Sood doal of his timo at the clubhonso with '.. L. Wattenberg, of lOt Broad streot, who was also a guost at La Tourctte. His habits, until within a month wore regular. A week ago last Saturday ho loft Borgen Point, purchasing a tioket for New York. Ho settled ills hotel bill at tho samo timo, but took with him in leaving noth ing but a Email hand-bag. His wife and daughter wero left behind. Then rumors of divorce proceedings wore heard, and it is claimed that tho wifo told guosts that sho intended to bring suit ogaiuBt her husband, ono of tho grounds being desertion. Tho Friday following Jackson's departure his wifo left, going to nor father'B houso in Mount Vernon. On Tuesday a detectivo claiming to have beon sent from Inspector Byrnes's office, called at tho hotel and mado inquiries about Jackson. He said ho was making investi gations on behalf of Jackson's family, who feared ho had met with foul play, as ho had not been Been or heard from for a week.

(a Clair, ttlltr to JltUauif fiffnl. Frederick Woyerhcuser, as the head of ono of the most Important commercial corporations on the continent, has long occupied in a large degreu the attention of tho business world. Tho man Is a phenomenon of achievement. He baa mado him self what hols, and be has made for himself the tides which other men wait for to carry thorn to success. Physically and mentally, he was moulded by na ture for business conquests. Three decades ago piling slabs for a dollar per diem at Rock Island-to-day controlling tho largest lumber interests In world; such IB the epitome of his llfe.and between the Hues it Is easy to seo what manner of mauls "the Bismarck of tho Northwest. " Born In lTimsla about fifty-four years ngo, he camo to this country while yet In early manhood, nnd his adventurous spirit carried him us far west as Illinois. Ho was alono nnd without a dollar, but, Btartlng as a common laborer, ho savod his earnings and watched his opportunities. He startedln tbo lumber business In ltock Island with Mr. Deuckmann, who Is still his partner, and who Is hlB brother-in-law, and tho linn hnd n capital of less than $l,uou. He steadily extended the busi ness and soon laid the foundation for his future success. The rapid growth of that section of tho country, In tho years succeeding bis location there, and the sudden expansion of every avenuo of com mercial enterprise, were tho opportunities which ho made to bear such golden fruits'-:- Somo Idea of the extent of bis Interests may bo obtained from tho fact that ho Is President of tho Mississippi River Logging Company, of tho Chlp pewn Miinbcr and Boom Company, of the Rock Island Lumber Company, of the Ohlppcwn Logging Company and of tho Beef Slough Boom Company, and u leading member of the Shell LaVe Lumber Company, of the Barrouctte Lumber Company, of tho North Wisconsin Lumber Company, of tho White Kher Lumber Company, and of the Cloquet Lumber Company, and is associated In the per sonal owncrshirof many thousand acres of plno lauds In Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. It should be borne hi mind that tho MUslsslppI Log ging Company, one of the leviathans of tho lumber business In this section, mono embraces concerns In Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, whoso aggregate capital fs about ITO,000,000 and which cut 1,000,000 feet of lumber a year. Ho Is said to be heavily Interested In the Burlington road and Is the owner of the Palms mlno on tho Clogcblu range. His Individual wealth nobody knows, but the corpornto capital which he con trols Is probably not extravagantly stated at f 100. 000,000. It will thus be Been what a bagatelle It was to Frederick Weyorhncuser to buy the Kan Claire plant and plno lands of the Eau Clalra Lum ber Company the second largest lumber concern In America In point of production and that It would not ' ' break " him to buy the largest In lum ber production the Knapp, Stout & CO. Com pany. Common agreement among his associates places him at the forefront of all tno lumber cor porations In which he Is Interested. They hae tho utmost faith In his experience and abilities, and his word Is law. They bcllciethat no other man In America knovt s bo much about plno as ho docs. Mr. Weyerhaenscr, as all men of his tempera ment and habits are at his age, Is still in the prime of life. Of medium height and broad and robust frame, he la active In his moementa and fluent In his conversation, which Is marked by a slight Ger man accent nnd the misplacement sometimes of those two troublesome consonants " t " and " d. " He wears a rather cloudy-trimmed beard of Iron ?ray. In dress ho Is plain and unostentatious, lock Island has nlvrujs been his home and he lives In a handsome residence there. Ills family con sists of sq o ral sons mill daughters, his sons being In business and showing bright aptitude for busi ness life. Mr. Weyerhaeuser Is said to have al ways been quite abstemious In his habits, using beer and wines In moderation and using no to bacco. Ills wines are made from Ihe product of his own vineyards. With a fair education acquired as a young man, he possesses much taste for liter ary, sclcntlllo and historical reading. Ho has often said that of all historical figures he most ad mires Martin Luther and Paul the Apostle. While building his own fortunes. Mr. Weycr hscuscr has aided many a man with moral and financial backing, and in selecting employees for Important positions has always ploVcd merit from the ranks without regard to adventitious circum stances. - - Hhe Is Klssnble Now. IFrotn a JV.to York Lttttr. I went with a girl friend jenterday to sco her beautified. Tho place was no factory of hair colorings or complexion-washes, but the highly professional New York Hospital, ono of our great public benefactions, au(J,tho bcautlflcr was staid and orthodox Dr. Bull. The maiden was already pretty, save that sho had tho dlstlguruturo known as harelip. The Improvement will make her en tirely klasable. Too few parents arc n tiling, through false kindness to their children or through Ignorance, to snbmlt their little ones to the knifo of tbo Burgeon at an early age; and as a result we have around us unsightly persons who might have harihelr features moulded Into those of good-looking men and women. The case la point was that of a girl of about seventeen, who had a single hare lip, with protrusion of the teeth of the upper law. There was also a cleft In that Jaw which, of course, complicated the deformity. Had the operation been performed In lnfanoy the chances are that the wo man would havo shown very slight, If any traces of the surgeon's work; but aa It Is, a more or less plain scar will always be visible. Bbe was put under ether, and a small slice cut off one side of the fis sure In the lip, and a slice off the other side, near ly, but not quite to the bottom of the lip. Then these two raw edges were brought together and stitched, and the piece of flesh that remained from the second Incision was carried along the base of the Up, so that no Indentation should be after wards observed. Tho surgeon's plastic hand now went to work to fashion the disfigured member Into one that shonld serve her well tor the remain der of her days. This then completed the Up, and therewere left only the protmdlng teeth to rem edy. With two or three sharp blows of the mallet upon the chisel the top parts of the two aides of tho Jaw were separated, brought Into apposition by depressing tnein, and secured In place. Then tho operation waa ended; and it showed Immediate signs of great and lasting Improvement In appear ance one which cannot fall to be of vaat benefit to her as a woman. She has never voluntarily smiled since ahe was old enough to know of her disfiguration, so fearful was ahe of displaying It, A month hence she can begin a lite of smiles. TWO SISTERS DISAGREE. The Hplnstrr Arrested) on n Charge of In sanity Made by the Widow. Julia Lyons, who is a spinster, forty-flvo years old and somewhat luflrni, has boon liv ing with her wldowod sinter, Elizabeth Itowol, at 313 Wost Thirty-sixth streot for tho past two ycurs. Of lato the sisters havo not got along togothor very well. Yesterday afternoon Julia drcssod horsclf in bor best clothes and openod tho window. This proceeding voxod Elizabeth, who, after a strugglo, put hor sister out of tho room. Julia walked about tho streets all tho even ing. As sho was walking on Eighth avenuo, near Thirty-fourth street, at 13.10 this morn ing alio was mot by her sister Eliraboth, who declared her insane. Calling Policeman Sownoy, airs. Itowol told him to arrest Julia, remarking: "Sho is crazy. I, her sister, niako tho obarge." This charge frightoned Julia who had rend about tho treatmont to which inmates of tho luuatio asyluui aro subjected, and sho pro tested, saying j I am not crazy, and I don't want tho health lift." Tho policeman hesitatod about taking Jnlia into enstody, but as tho sister inBistod upon pressing tho complaint of Insanity ho lod tier to tho statlon-houso. Julia cried bitterly, fearing sho would bo sent to tho lunatic asylum. " She wants to got rid of mo to get possess ion of my little property," sho said. As Mrs. Itowol did not appoar in Joffcrson Market Court this morning to press tho chargo, nnd as no sign of insanity could bo observed Julia was discharged. FOUGHT WITH KNIFE AND CLUB. Two Colored Men Fight Desperately About an Octoroon. Two colored mon, with their faces more or loss battered out of shapo, wero arraigned at tho Joffcrson Market Court this morning. Thoy gavo thoir namos as Samuol Cisco and Joseph Smith, both living in tho somo houso. It appeared that thoy had a duel about tho Bamo girl, an ootoroon named Miami, to whom thoy had both boon uaying attentions unknown to each other. Cisco was employod in tho nlght-tltno as a waiter, whilo Smith w as a porter Inn storo. Cisco did his court ing in the daytime, while Smith dovotod his evenings to Miami, taking hor to tho theatre and to colored balls. Last night Cisco did notgo to his night du ties as usual. Ho met Smith In company with Miami. A mutual surprise and a crowl from tho two men followed. Lator that evening both mon pre pared themselves for a combat. Cisco armed himself with a club, whilo Smith trusted to tho sharp edgo of a knlfo. With nut a word of warning the men rushod at each other and fought as best they could. They wore blooding profusely when Police man Itolgl and another officer came up and used their clubs to separate the two men, Justice Gorman gave them throo months each. Tips Prom the " Ermine World's Ticker. Another strong opening this morning, accom panied with pronounced '' ball "operations. Tho Btreet receives word to-day that the national bank depositories now have on deposit $J,0S2,M Government funds. The sale of the Toxos division of the Texas Pa cific Railroad has been set down for Nov. 8 and that of the New Orleans division for the loth. bt. Paul Is reported this morning as scheduled for bull manipulation, by the Standard OU Com- Eany interest. It Is rumored that tho stock Is to o hoisted to TS on this lift. Tho almost forgotten litigation between the Cen tral Transportation Company and the lnillmau Pal noc Car Company comes up to-day In tbo Unltod States Circuit Court at Philadelphia. Thcro Is a rumor on the street to-day that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Is In financial dltllculty and that a reedier Is about to bo applied for. No confirmation of tho report has been re ceived aa yet. A prominent broker on 'Change, who is popularly regarded as an authority on New England affairs, says to-day that old plans, discussed over a year ago, are up again, and that tho New York, New Haven and Hartford, as well as the Manhattan Elevutcd Interest, are figuring to secure control at tbo coming election. A despatch to-day says tnat "Chairman Abbot called on tho general managers of tho various roads and submitted a revised agreement, which was Dually accepted by all tno lines except Wabash. The now agreement Is stronger than tho old ono and gives the arbitrators lncroascd power to better enforce tho maintenance of agreed rates and regulations." The Btreet Is completely mystified by tho an nouncement of Northwest's Increase of tlOT.000 In earnings for September. Two days ago long odds were laid on a large decrease, with no takers. There Is a rumor on 'Change this morning that Boino change between the actual and estimated earnings last year had something to do with the comparative statement. Au Insider In Krlo and Western BayB this morn ing of yesterday's secrot meeting of the road di rectors, that It was decided to change the fiscal year to correspond with tho calendar year, and to pay do dividend at present. It wus decided, how ever, to begin quartirly dividend payments at the rule of 4 per cent, per annum at tho end of the first quarter of the new fiscal year. The election of J. II. Flagler to tho presidency of tho Cotton Oil Trust, coupled with tho announce ment that tho Standard Oil Company Is In full con trol, as will be seen by the changes In thu Board of Directors to be mado known to-morrow, bos been used as a bull argument to-day, resulting In a two point rise, or cloven points higher than last month. Insiders aro doing the buying. A prominent ball firm to-day assures lis patrons thut the back of tho bear-raid has been broken, and that tho market, although narrow, contains positive assurances of better Units. ''Tho In crease of Northwest's earnings, while It has tjeen a staggering blow to the bears, will convlnco the public," they say, " that the Granger situation has been misrepresented, und Is by no means as bad as they huvu boen led to believe." In reference to Jay Gould's proposed European Jaunt, Henry Clews says this morning that the I principal backing which the bears havo recently lad has been the w idcly circulated Impression that Jav Gould waa In full sympathy with tho earnest workers on the wrecking side of the mar ket. They claim that while he was talking "bull" he was really a bear, trath In spirit and action. When Mr. Gould takes bis departuro to foreign waters an Important influence will be re moved from the bear side, und tho market will be come tnoro natural. ' Why lie Wns Absent.
