10 SL ae eee ee etre At ee oe “THE BROKEN BANK. The Defaulting Cashier in Ludlow Street Jail. Singularly Barefaced Frauds—The Demerits of Our Banking System—How Taintor Man- aged His Business—What Foreed Him to Confession—Hopeless Condition ofthe Atlantic Bank—Meeting of Depositors To-Day. After being taken to Ludlow Street ‘Jail om Sat- ‘urday evening, where he was received by Deputy Warden Gardner with all the honors due to dis- tinguishea prisoners, Mr. Taiztor, the defaulter of ‘the Atlantic National Bank, asked to be given some pens and paper. He sat at the desk in the office for some time moodily thinking, aud then wrote a let- ter to his wife explaining his position and begging her not toceme and see him for some days at least. He despatched the note by a messenger to lis residence, or rather to what had been his resi- dence, and would not go to bed until the messen- ger returned with a short answer from his wife. He was then conducted to his cell. It is No. 47, and is situated on the row known in the prison as “BAXTER TERRACE.” It is no better and no worse than the other cells, and does not call for-any particular descréption. Yesterday, with the publication of the particulars ef the delalcation in the HeRALD, a number of | friends called upon Taintor, at the prison. Among these were his brokers, who called not merely to Bee the:now'notorious cashier, but to settle some of the business with which they had been en- trusted by him. He received these gentlemen and conversed at length upon the state of his affairs, but always with that perfect self-possession which has characterized all his actions, not only since the frauds were discovered, but-since their first incep- tion. The details of the future operations of Mr. Taintor with these Matters is of course a Secret and has not been allowed to leak out. Other friends called during the day. One eid gentleman, who appeared to be a rela- ton, was heard to upbraid Taintor quite loudly. He said to hin, “This is no way to do business, and you should never have permitted yourself to become involved in this manner.” To which Taintor answered ina soothing tone, and seemed to be expostulating with the old gentleman about up- braiding him in so jouda@tone, The conversation was then carried on in a more subdued manner. As the day wore on more visitors called and were frecly shown in. Some remained with him a long time, and others left after saying a few words of condolence with his fate. It was evident, how- ever, from the manner of all that Taintor possesses many devoted friends, and ‘it leads to the con- clusion that he must have had some qualities which endeared him to those whe moved in his circle of life. When the meal time came the pris- oner went up stairs to his cell and ate the usual prisoner’s fare. He was INVITED TO DINE at the table of Warden Tracy with the other boarders of the house, but refused, One of the friends who called upon him offered him $200, ‘which he refused to accept point blank, saying that he was a prisoner and intended to be dealt with aa were the other prisoners. The old hands say, however, that all the hew comers in the place taik inthis manner. When they get over the first shock they enjoy the luxuries of life like other people and:don’t refuse any good thing which may be offered, An old friend called on Taintor in the aiternoon and remained with him for a coupie of hours. They had borne arms together in the same regiment during the war, This friend had not seen Taintor for some time, but on reading the papers had imme- diately gone to give him what conseiaticn he could. Before leaving the prison this friend, without Taintor's knowledge, went to the Warden and told him to show his friend all the consideration possibie, give him board at his own table, and any luxuries he might wish, and he himself would be responsible for the bill. It is doubtful, however, if the prisoner will accept this piece of generosity. These twe con- versed quite freely and aloud in the reception room of the prison. Taintor, amomg other things, Janghed at the figure cut by the directors of the bank whea the fraud was discovered. He said, “In spite of the position in which I was placed, I could not help thinking these people irresistibly funny.” He expresses regret for those who have Jost by his transactions, and said, “1 hoped to the last te retrieve nysell and make all good, It was almost hoping an impossibility, but you know a drowning inan catches at a straw. I don’t waut to make myself any better or any worse than I a) but now the thing 1s dope] would not shirk the consequences if 1 could. 1 RAVE SINNED AND I MUST SUFFER.” Some say this stoieal mien is only assumed, A ieEKALD reperter called av the prison in the course of the aiternoon and sent ki his pasteboard ww Mr. Taintor. This gentieman sent out word that he preferred not to see any member of the press, and hoped the visitor would appreciate his mo- tives, which the visitor certainly did. The reporter saw another of the prisoners, and in speaking about the defaulting cashier this prisoner said “Iwas talking with Taintor this morning. Me bears up well; but J believe much of this is put on Jer the occasion. I tvink at bottom he feels as Wretched as a man can well feel. He told me this morning that he was only going to eat prisen fare, and didn’t care Wo eat at a public table. Hesaid ne had no money in the world, and that whatever assets “there were from his speculations should go to the creditors. He did’nt want to retain anything of it. Im spite of this demeanor I don’t think Taintor tells the whole truth. Ithink he has some money put by, and that in reality he is well fixed. Some circumstances have led me to believe so, and yet itis mere surmise. This eating of prison iare is A COMMON DODGE among the big prisoners tomake their creditors be- lieve they hav’nt got a cent, and can’t aiford it." “You are a lite wncharitable,” said the re- porter, “Weill, staying long in this place makes a man fee men as they are. Taintor 1 don’t think is a man oftbe pluck which you seem to believe be has. A good many weak people when driven to the wali shew # kind of desperation which some mistake tor courage. ‘Taintor-is a man of sense, and, seeing that it.was no use crying over spilt ‘Milky made a clean breast of it, and kept his coun- Ttena®ce, an a gentieman ought to do,” The prison oficials share in this belief and think that Taintor only assumes his air of jocularity and Fecklessness; that in a jew days this will break down. As far as the reporter saw him yesterday, Sitting in the reception reom and talking with Sriends, he was the last man of the party one would have supposed to be the man whe only the day be- fore heijd a preud position and was respected apa honered. WHAT PROMPTED THE CONFESSION, It appears that what led Taintor to cenfees his crime to the Chairman of the Examining Committee of the Clearing House, Mr. Tappen, was somewhat different from that at firat reported. On Friday, the Presideat of the Bank, Mr. Southworth, had been to him and said, in @ sort of casual way, “Taintor, 1 guess it is seme time since we have looked over your Jeans, Supposing we do it to- a fo which Taintor had answered de- ly— “Lrun this bank and know what I am abont, and Adon’t want anybody examining my accounts.” The manner of talking rather astonished and somewhat alarmed the president (@ very mild mannered oid yeuteman), who expostuiated ina heipless sort of w way, reminding Taintor that tt gh unite eae, the stockholders to de tila. But had remained ori - sent to any examination, Abd Would not con THE PRESIDENT TAD CONSULTR: with a conple of the directors bi aginy gether the nest day and feebly ordered shew them the books and vaults, ‘Taiutor had then at taken his hat and coat aud said te the as- sembled magnates, “You shail see books, but only under the eye @f the Clearing Boara.” his had further alarmed the oid gentieman, who knew metning positive, howerer, wut) the Clearing House cemmitice walked in and justified their name by Clearing everyting up in the most d@amoing shape Jor Taiutor. The HERALD reporter called on Mr. Taypen at his house, yesterday, to learn some further particu- jars. Mr. Tapped spoke as foliows:— MK, TAPPEN TELLS AN SNTERESTING STORY, “Mr. Taintor tola me that his brekers suuil pos- sessed a margin in stocks on his account of about 000 Which might bat couated as assets.

Captain Wiison, of the Thirty-second precinct, yesterday addressed the following letter to the Superintendent of Police, ip relation to the suicide of an anknown man in the wovds near 169th street:— Precinct No, 82, New York, April 27, 1873, Superintendent KELSO :— Sin—At ven this A.

World. tare~ wel THOMAS’ MUSICAL FESTIVAL. Closing Performances—Rubinstein’s Su- preme Effort—The Choral Symphony ot Beethoven. To-say that ‘Steinway Hall was crowded on Satur day, on occasion of the two last performances of ‘the Thomas festival, would give but a faint idea of the attendance on those two memorable occasions, Memorable they are to every lover of art who was present, -and highly creditable, not only to the cul- tivated musician’ who directed them, but also to the musical public of New York, whoo largely pat- ronized them. The risk undertaken by Mr, Thomas in this festival was one of great magni- tude, and the financial result has proved the trath of what we have again and again asserted—it 1s only necessary to give the New York public the best in art, at any cost, to attain a pecumiary success for the management, The failure of musical enterprise here can only be attributed to the poverty of the materials employed. It ts ‘the same story from Malibran down to the festival just closed, that musical genius will ever find prompt recognition here. The crowd in the even- ing thronged both balconies and extended far back into the smaller hall. In the afternoon it was scarcely of less dimensions, The matinée concert commenced with one of the overtures to “‘Fidello,’” which was followed by the aria “I Am a Roamer,” from Mendelssohn’s ‘Son and Stranger.” The orchestra have become so perfectly familiarized with the four overtures which Beethoven wrote for his opera that the performance of any of them cannot help being finished and artistic. Mr. Myron W. Whitney selected a most trying air, and wert through the ordeal with success. The “Son and Stranger” is too little known in this city fora work displaying all the fanctiul imagery of thought that is generally considered as the exclusive char- acteristic of ‘Midsummer Night's Dream.” The selection made by him requires a voice of unusual flexibility and high training to make its rendering at all intelligible. Its rapid mea- sures call for finish and case of execu- tion not often attainable by bass singers. Mr. Whitney is not addicted to ad captandum tricks in his singing; butin everything he attempts he gives evidence of the honest, conscientious artist. He narrowly escaped an encore. Wieniawski played a most charming adagio by Rubinstein and an élégie by Ernst, in both of which his wonderful cantavile method was brought out in all its beauty. He also rendered a polonaise of his own, which had the equivocal merit ef abounding in enormous technical difficulties to an extent that marred the intelligibility of some of the phrases, and a descriptive piece called “The Russian Carni- val,” another work frem his fertiie brain. But the great feature of the performance of the evening was Rubinstein’s playing of his own con- certo in D minor, No. 4, a cheval de batuille jor fleet-fingered pianists. He was in his best mood, and, if possible, grander than ever in his ‘titanic arasp of the colossal diMculties that are so thickly sown in the first and last novements. The fingers that evoked thunder from the noble instrument in the impetuous storm of the jinaie became in the delightiul anuante as tender as the caressing touch of a mother on her infant’s brow. The work itself has all the nobility of style and variety of treatment that one would expect irom the composer of the “Ocean” sym- phony. The coloring 0! some of the phrases in the first movement is decidedly Chopinish. In the second part of the concert Rubinstein played the three works which have probably, with the general pubiic, attained a greater popularity than any of his other selections. They are ‘‘fema con Vugia- moni,” by Haydn; “Erl King,’ Schubert, and tae ‘Turkish inarch trom “The Kus of Athens,” Beet- hoven, To speak of his bias | ol these works would be but a twice told story. It was simply the Periection of piano playing. mrs. J. Houston West sung “With Verdure Clad,” from ‘The Creation,” without giving any particular interest to the hearer. Two movements of Kait’s bright pleasant symphony ‘In the Forest” were splendidly played by the orchestra, Although the first part of the evening’s pro- gramme was interesting from the presence of Bach’s quaint oid suite in D, No. 3, and Schubert’s untinished symphony in B minor, two movements 01 which were given, yet the attention oj the vast audience seemed to be wholly concentrated upon the lion of the occasion, the last and greatest work of Beethoven, the “Choral Symphony.” The elements brought together for the performance o1 this work were the best that America can afford, and rarely have they been equalled for completeness and ensembie in Europe, The fame of the orchestra, on this occasion increased to one hundred strong, 1s worldwide; the Handel and Haydn Society were in full force, and had the advantage of thorough rehearsals; and the solo quartet, Mrs. H. M. Smith, Miss Cary, Mr. Nelscn Varley and Mr, Rudolphsen, whatever their shortcomings in other Works may have been, sung the dificult music ailotted to them in the last movement prompt and correctly. The ninth symphony is a rara avis in public on account of its surpassing dilliculties, Aconductor of the highest order, wita all the neces- sary materials, could enly present itin proper shape. Such a conductor took the baton on Saturday night, in the person of Theodore Thomas, and such Materials covered the immense stage from the organ gallery to the edge of the platiorm, The jour movements—allegro, poco maestoso; scherzo, molto e cantabile—and the concluding ‘Recitative and Chorus” have a boidness and majesty that lift them above all other creations of the human mind. According to Richard Wagner’s interpreta- tion of the ninth beige the predominating idea is tue struggie of the soul after joy and hap- piness. Nothing can be more vivid than the ilius- tration of this aa ig at the very commence- ment of the work. It is declamatory in every measure to the close, and the gradual un- folding of the colossal theme keeps ex- pectation up to the most eager point. he scherzo is considered the highest mor- ceau in the world of music, @ down- right carnival of jollity, in which the orches- tra of Thomas fairly revelied. The brilliancy of the march in D major which occurs in this move- ment forms a delightiul foil to the sportiveness of the phrases by which it is introduced. The gem, however, of the symphony is the third movement, than which nothing can be imagined more touch- ingly beautiful, its simplicity of thougnt and the easy and natural continuation of the motives can never Jail to produce a lasting impression ou the ear, The andante of the symphony im A major, lovely though it be, pales before the caim beauty of the movement, adagio molto e cantabile, of the ninth. The ingenious manner tn which all the mo- tives of the three preceding movements are pre- sented in bouquet fashion in the introduction of the last movement is only equalled by the unex- pected outburst of the voices in Schiller’s “Hymn of Joy,” in answer to the recitative of the contra- basses and the overwhelming crescendos of all the instruments. When the bass deciaims without accompaniment, “Friends, no more of these tones; let us sing together more pleasant and joyous strains,” the effect on tne hearer is in- describable. The strain on the voices 18 mtense, as all the parts are written up to the highest note attainable to soprano, alto, tenor or bass, Although the volume of tone produced by the Handel and Haydn Society was unduly small for their num- bers—and here we may remark that the individual quality of the voices of this society is not commen- surate with their high training in music—yet the Ppromptness and correctness with which every choral phrase was taken up and finished formed no incousiderable feature in the periormance of the work. The same may be said of the solo quartet, who had an arduo's task to perform. The applause which greeted the talented young conductor be- fore the performance of the gigantic work, and the presemiation to him of a handsome basket of Dowers, testified to the appreciation of the Ameri. fan public of his single minded, disinterested ex- ertions for art in this country, We were nearly forgetting to state that Mr. Varley sung, or ai- tempted to sing, at this concert the celebrated aria, “Sound an Alarm,” trom “Judas Maccabeus.” It is entirely beyond his reach, and the detects we have previously pointed out in his voice became more paintully apparent in this selection. , Those who fave heard Sims Reeves’ glorious rendering of the arta will hardly be inclined to accept Mr. Varley as a competent singer to undertake It, Thus closed ope of the most important musical festivals ever given in this city. The weakness of the soloists was more than counterbalanced by the artistic finish and spirit of the chorus and orches- ‘ya.

From the Sin; re (E. 1,) Times, March 13.) the arieteneeeey traders the Strats, aded year of most unprecedented l1 have now an- other source of annoyance in the expedition being sent by the Netherlands Indian vernment to Acheen to coerce the Sultan into submission. Lit- tle or nothing can be positively ascertained with r ct to the mature or the magnitude of the ex- pedition, but it is said that a part of the plan of operations is to establish a Diockade of all the Acheenese ports, Tight of the Dutch government to do this un- der the treaty recently made is unquestiened; but the peculiar nature of the trade between Pi- nang and Acheen would make this blockade at the present time a serious hardship upon the Pinang merchaats, and entail upon them severe losses. ‘The merchants have advanced goods to the trad- ers, to be geld on credit to the Acheenese, the pay- ment for which is to be made in pepper and pepper season is now about to open, and @ sudden blockade will ae- prive the merchants of the produce to which they are entitled. The merchants here have addressed a letter on the subject to the government, urging in behalf of themselves and the Chinese British subjects mainly engaged in the trade that representations may be made to the proper authorities to endeavor to prevent a blockade of the ports before giving suMicient notice to enable those interested to withdraw their capl- tal, and also that a British man-of-war be directed to accompany the expedition to protect British interests, The request is reasonable, but unless prompt action 1s taken it will be impossible to comply with it, the expedition being reported to have passed through the Straits yesterday. The Sultan of Acheen on Governmental Independence and Divine Right. (From the Sumatra Courant, Feb. 5. A correspondent writes to us from Anah Labu that people there have received intelitgence from the Sultan of Acheen that he, in reply to the letter sent him by the ‘Netherlands India government, has made known to the Governor General “that he, the Sultan of Acheen, &c., wishes to live in peace with the government, but he cannot and will not suffer any interference in the affairs of his king- dom. His Majesty has turthermore urgently re- quested to be excused from receiving the announced visit of a Netherlands Commission.” The departure of the steamer Djambi to the capital of Acheen with Messrs. Krayenhoff and Kockeritz must be connected with the answers received, AFRICA, The Cameron Expedition and Sir Bartle Frere’s Mission. [From the Calcutta Englishman, March 25. The Cameron Exploring Expedition, joined by Lieutenant Murphy, trom Aden, is now at Bago- moyo. This party will go first to Tay anyerahe and Ujiji, and thence to meet Doctor Livingstone, Sir Bartle Frere’s Mission and Meve- ments. The failure of the British Zanzibar mission is thus announced in official news from Zanzibar, dated on the 13th of February :— The Sultan of Zanzibar having declined to accede to the proposals of the Britisn government, laid before him by the special Envoy, Mr. Badger and the Kazi Shahabuain leave by the mail steamer. Sir Bartle Frere and suite propose visiting the African coast as far as Mozambique, also Mada- gascar and the Comoro Islands, before returnin, to Zanzibar. On this yorpee the Enchantress will be accompanied by Her Majesty’s ship Briton, GHASTLY INGENUITY. A Novel Way of Committing Suicide and Its Ludicrous Sequel. Philip Otner, a German, was locked up in one of the cells of the Eighth precinct station house, in Brooklyn, yesterday, for intoxication. Philip con- cluded that he might just as well be dead, bein; intensely Sieausees with himself, and determine to put an end to his existence then and there. The best and Sparently: the only means which pre- sented itself to his mind was to hang himself, So he inserted his head through THE TOP WICKET in the cell door, a feat which the officers thought it impessible for any man to accomplish, He was discovered by the doorman before life was extinct, The Captain and all hands were summoned to the rescue; but they found it no easy matter to extri- cate Otner from his improvised gallows. Finally several mechanics were sent for, and after two and a half hours’ work the door was taken to pieces and the prisoner released. As he was nearly choked to death the Captain sent him home: SHIPPING NEWS. Almanac for New York—This Day. SUN AND MOON. HIGH WATER. 503 | Gov.
