Charles Allen, of Middle town, had a tract of twenty acres of the North Shrewsbury river bottom staked out, parts of which Were unplanted.

Later developments in Samuel Roberts’ defalca- tion from the Lehigh coal company, of Wilkes- barre, Pa., render it certain that the total amount stolen will reach the neighborhood of $100,000, While some statements place it at $120,000. ‘The detalcation was discovered by Mr. Parrish, He noticed that the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre coal company are now mining coal at less cost than he did; and he instituted an investigation.

In addition to his peculations be had hypothecated bonds in Easton and Boston. He was receiving a salary of $10,000 a year. He spent the money in his household and in church Work. His mansion on Franklin stree. was proba- bly the most sumptuously furnished in the city, the brie-a-brac_ alone belng worth $10,000. When Charles Parrish built a summer cottage on the mountain, Mr. Roberts followed with a more ex- Penslve one and Turmislied it at a cost of $8,000. His house Was always full of ,uests, whom hé en- tertained royally. He pald nearly che whole of the $16,000 needed to enlarge the Presbyterian Memo- Tial church, and subscribed princely sums for all chureh work. Yesterday the deed of ment of his real es- tate to Chas. Parrish was filed in the recorder’s office. The consideration was $1, while te market value of the property 1s not less than $80,000.
