The complaint was sworn to by the United States district attorney, H. K. Butterfield. A complaint and warrant identical with those in Bige- low’s case were made out to Henry G. Goll, assistant cashier of the bank, but Goll could not be found up to 7 o’clock to-night. President Bigelow was taken before the Uuited States court commissioner Mr, Bloodgood, to-night. He waived a hearing and was held to the Fed- eral grand jury under $25,000 bond. Dr. Horace M. Brown and Arthur N. McGeoch certified ae sureties and Mr. Bigelow was released. The next Fed- eral grand jury hag not yet been summoned, but itis expected it will meet some time next month. In addressing his fellow directors at the meeting Saturday night Pres. dent Bigelow said he had a painful statement to make—a confession that he had misdirected the funds of the bank and that anexamination of the books and a comparison of figures would show that he was indebted to the bank to the amount of fully $1,450,000. The money, he said, had been lost in speculation in wheat and stocks. Nota dollar of it could be recovered and the only sums he could offer toward recompensing the bank were personal securities valued at approximately $300,000. WILL RECORD OUR PROTEST.

Then they bring big prices, one recently selling for $265, when the competition between descendants of the original owner was lively. Recently C. C. Moyer, of Orwigs- burg, Pa., bought one of these an- tiquated timepieces, and as a result of his reconstruction the clock, instead of merely striking the hour, now shows the date, day of the week, and strikes different bells for the hour and the half-hour. Then on Sunday morn- ings, at precisely 8:30, the clock’s church chimes ring, a small door opens above the dial, and the figure of a man appears, book in hand. This figure remains above the dial all day Sunday, disappearing late on that day, and not reappearing till the following unday. Young Moyer, who is 24 years old, {3 noted for his ingenuity. At an early age he became interested in the construction of odd machines. The old clock adorns his home and is a much-admired piece of furniture, NEVER SAW HIS WIFE.

The ‘only way I came to learn that I had a wife was through my father. He wrote to me from China and said that he bought a wife for me 22 years ago, and that he was saving her for me, so he could surprise me. I understand my wife cost $5.” Ting was arrested on the cHarge of being in the United States unlawfully. The Mongolian came to Chicago 28 years ago, passing through Canada, The Chinaman was told that the only way he could escape being deported was to be married. HAT SAVES WOMAN'S LIFE, Cleveland’ Shows His Bravery. admitted Philadelphia, Pa., April 25.—Grov- er Cleveland, in the Lady’s-Home Journal current number, makes a stern arraignment of woman’s clubs, whose objects and intents, he de- clares, are not only harmful, but harmful_ in a way that menaces American homes.

He says {t appears in the movement to se- cure to women the right to vote,and otherwise participatein public affairs, Mr. Cleveland, in closing, says: “I do not include in the club move- ments those which amount to noth. ing more than woman’s association or co-operation in charitable, benev- olent and religious work.
