At tho annual mectlneycstordayot tho Board
of Directors of tho Jlanufaoturers' National
Bank in Williamsburg. Thomas 3. Cooper wu9
oloctcd a dlroctor In ploco of former Slayor
Frederick W. Wurster. Tho chango disclosed
a series of forerglcs committed by an employee
of tho firm of F. W. Wurster .V Co.. which
caused a friction between tho bank ofllclals
and tho formor Mayor. Tho dishonest em
ployco wns a boy 17 cars old. Ho was an as
sistant clerk, nnd among Ills duties was that
of receiving old Iron from small dealors, weigh
ing tho metal nnd thon giving tickets upon
which checks payable to tho Iron dealer or a
representative wero drawn on tho 3Iami
fnutiircrs' National Bank. The youngcleik.lt
in alleged. Issued bogus tickets, on which
checks wero drawn, and ho collected tho
money nt tho hank on tho representation t tint
he would turn tho money over to tho pctsona
to w horn It bolongod.
llr. Wurstor accidentally discovered theso
forgeries and tho clork confessed An Investi
gation showed that tho bank had paid out
nearly $7,000 In fraudulent cheeks. 3Ir.
Wurstor consulted the linn's attorney, former
Corporation Counsel Burr, who held that tlin
bank should bo held responsible for the loss of
tho money. After several conferences botween
tho firm and tho directors of the bank It was
decided to compromise the matter Tho result
was not satisfactory to 3Ir. Wurster and n fow
weksngo he withdrew his firm's account from
tho bank nnd also sent n letter to the President
of tho bank, John Loughran. and to tho Board
of Directors declining to have his name consid
ered by the nominating committee as a candi
date for reelection nt estordny's meeting
When the meeting yestordnv was over Presi
dent Loughran said to a Bus roportor:
" 3Ir Wurstor reauosted us not to elect him
again as a director. Ho had a young man whom
hocallod a telcphono boy In his ofllco This boy
trumped up fictitious credits nnd handod them
over to the bookkeeper, who mado ehetks
which 3tr Wurster signed. ItJwasIa most na
tural thine that wo should cash theso checks,
from tho fact mat this young in nn did business
nt tho bank for Mr. Wurstor Ho would go to
one window and transact business for Wurster
.I Co.. nnd thou go to tho teller and collect tho
money on these forged choks, saving Hint tho
man in whoso fmor tho cheek was drawn was
.nr the ofllco and wanted him to get the monov.
The checks woro for small amounts Wo felt
thnt .Mr. Wurster hail done business In a loose
way, nnd wo had several interviews with him
and finally agreed to disagree "
3lr Wurstor declined Ia6t evening to give
tho name of the dishonest elerk. Ho would
only say regarding him that tho bov was the
son of a poor widow and that ho decamped
hst Sptoinber with the money ho received
from tho bank
"As n depositor." said 3Ir. Wurster, "the
linn of F W. Wurster A. Cn had several thou
sand dollars in the bnnk Theso checks wero
paid out withoutany authority to a loungman
who was never authorised to draw any money.
The lavr throws a muntlo nround every depos
itor lj which ho can get back every dollar ho
put Into a bank Wo wero importuned by
some of the directors to compromise and in
that way wo nettled the matter. Tho bnnk still
lnsSl.500of our monoy. I thought It bettor
to cet out of tlio bank entirely and to resign as
a director This boy was never authorized by
my firm to draw ono penny from the bnnk. and
when the bank took upon Itself tho responsi
bility or cashing checks drawn to tho ordorof
tho denier the bank did so at Its own risk "

MINIM, Jan. 10. At Iho Instance of Aguln

Amorican commander, sgulnaldo's repre

were Gen. Hughes, Col. Smith of California and

Tin commissioners met In Manila for tho
purpose, as doclared In the ordor Issued by
Gen. Otis, of conferring on tho situation and of
arriving at a mutual understndlnng of tho In
tent, purposes, aim and desires of tho po"p!o of
tho Philippines nnd the United States. Thorn
was a frnnk discussion.
WisntNOTOv, Jnn. lO.-Tho fact was de
veloped at tho Cabinet moetlng to-day that
President 3IcKluIey Is sntisfled that jomo for
eign power Is behind tho defiant attitude
which Agulnaldo has assumed towurd the
United States. There has been more or loss
suspicion of that sort over slnco Agulnaldo
began to show open contempt for tho author
ity of this Government; but apparently there
was nothing definite on which tho Adminis
tration could base Its beliof that a stronger
power wns urging tho rillplnos not to submit
to the demands of Gen. Otis. It is now snid
that tho Information In tho possession of tho
Administration is dsflnitelcnough to indicate
that Agulnaldo Is getting substantial tissist
nnco from some'natlon unfriendly to the con
tinuance of American rule In the Philippines.
Even body bos a pretty strong suspicion as to
which nation is meant.
That tho Administration Intends to iako no

TomShnrko.tho man who was onco n United
States sailor and tt ho Is now ono ot tho leading
pugilists of the world, defeated Kid .McCoy, tbu
)ouug Indiana boy, in tho tenth round nttho
Lenox AthletloClublast night. Tlio result camo
unexpectedly and was tho result of persist
ent work on tho part of Shirkuj, who finally
lauded 11 left punch on tho jaw, which put
3IcCoy to tho floor for the ten-second time '
limit Sharkey won $li",000 In purse money
nnd 55,000 in bets made by himself and friends. ;
together with tho right to challengn Fitzslm- '
mons for tho ho.nvywcight championship of tho
world.
Tho fight was n most sensational one It was
witnessed by nearly 7.000 persons, who were
satislled tt!h tho outcome because It was
honestly reached, and thero was no cry of
fake Mich as some had been led to anticipate.
Tho contest demonstrated onco moro that a,
hcavy-hlttlng rusher who knows less about
the science of tho ganio than ho does of pure i
slugging can beat a clever scientific boxer Into
submission, providing ho is ablo to rench a j
vital spot.
It is doubtful if any clovorer heavyweight.
barring iiosslbly Corbctt, has over boen seen
In this part of the country than 3IcCoy. ' B
As far as straight out-and-out boxing
went, tho young Hoosler gavo a superb ox- j;
lilbitlon. but in eoitoof his ngility. his clotor -
defence, nnd quick, sharp, snappy blows, '
coupled with excellent generalship, 3IcCoy was
unnblo to stand off tho Herculean lighter, who
finally beat him to tho floor.
Thero was no Iroublo over tho rules after all,
for tho pugilists agreed to let Referee Hurst 1
decido on the knotty points concerning tho j j
meaning of a clinch, and tho fight, all things
consiJcred, was free from foul tactics j I
At the vcrybtart 3IcCoy mado Sharkpyiook ' J
awkward nnd distresslnglyclumsy. Tho Kid '
wns so light upon his feet and so fast .
in his movements about tho ring thnt f '
tlio Sailor found It almost impossible to '
land u solid blow. For tho first two rounds
It looked ns though Sharkey would certainly i
bo beaten on points nlone, but In tho third
lound tlioro camo a surprise which almost c
created n riot Sharkey resulted a sudden jolt
on tho jaw with a loft delivered straight from i j
tho Kid's shoulder, and tho Sailor slorpod over ; j
to a sitting posture on tho floor. 1
It was n clean knockdown, and when " j
Sharkoy got upon his feet, which ho did j
without taking a count from tlio icfereo, he
showed signs of grogglncss His legs wab- !'
bled a bit. and thoro was unmistakable ij
evidence of dis'ress McCoy quickly sent tho
big fellow to tho ennvas again, but, as in tho 3
first instance, Sharkey got up with bulldog , i
pluck nnd rushod wildly nt his slippery op- J
ponent ' 5
Hnd there boon a minute more instoad of j
about ten seconds to tho round, nobody knows E
what JleCoy might have accomplished, but, as ' j
It turned out. tho gong saved Sharkey and pre- s n
tented tho Kid from scoring n most uncxpecU
edly quick victory. j
From that tlmo on, tho Sailor got hla !'
strength into the shape In which ho wished
to uso It. nnd as ho finally becamo convinced ,
that 3IeCoy wns gradually tlrlngnnd could not ' t
hurt hlin seriously. Sharkey began tho tactics . j
which lie has used in all his fights. Ho rushed u
almost blindly nt his nntngonlst. taking otory ' 5 ,
punch thnt 3IcCoy nimed nt him with- t?F
out clinching until his right 0)0 was prac- '
tic.nlly olnsej nnd his fneo wns puffed ' M
nnd bruised almost ovor its entiro surface, . ' M
Bharko's game was to land ono punch. That i 9
was tho plan mapped out b) hfmwoeks ago, w

signs of distress Both men woro tired for that

to go to tho limit nnd also hnd almost super- J m
human strength to help him out With a
