BANK CASHIER FLEES. A He Took $5,500 in Gold and Left a Shortage of $20,000. COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 22.- A special to the Daily Régister from Sumter, in this State, gives full particulars of a defalcation which caused the National Bank in that place to close its doors and suspend payment to-day. Charles E. Bartlett, the cashier, who has held that position since the bank was organized in November, 1883, had been speculating unsuccessfully in cotton futures for the past two years. It has been known for some time that his books were incorrect, as be was unable to make a statement of the accounts between his bank and its New York correspondent, the Mercantile National Bank. The directors gave him until Monday to straighten out matters or resign. Saturday night he was noticed in the bank, and later was recognized at Florence, where he purchased a ticket by the Atlantic Coast Line for New York. An investigation this morning disclosed the loss of a bag containing $5,500 in gold. The directors have been in session all day, but thus far are unable to ascertain the extent of the loss, which, however, is supposed to be between $30,000 and $40,000. Bartlett's bond is for $20,000. The bank is expected to meet all demands in full by an assessment of 50 per cent., and to resume business shortly. Bartlett is about 35 years old, tall and slender. He was regarded as above suspicion.

THE SUMTER DEFALCATION. The Government Inspector Takes Charge of the Bank-Reasons why Bartlett Should Have Been Removed Long Ago. SUMTER, August 24.Mr. Samuel D. Tate, of North Carolina, a Government bank examiner, arrived here late yesterday evening and was closeted with President Wallace until a very late hour in the night. He took charge of the bank this morning and has been busy all day examining its affairs. He cannot yet say anything definite about its condition, as the investigation has not progressed far enough. He says, so I am told on the streets, that the examiner who was here in March last, and who pronounced the books in excellent condition, could not have made a very thorough examination, or he could not have made such a report, as the books were then, as well as now, in very bad condition. It seems that very few persons, if anybody at all, had an idea that Bartlett was speculating in futures, although it was known that he possessed great betting propensities and has for several years been investing heavily in the Louisiana State Lottery. On Monday morning, a short time after his flight became known, an express package was delivered at the bank for Bartlett, which, upon being opened, was found to contain a check of a New Orleans bank for $150, and $124 worth of lottery tickets. During the Presidential campaign of 1884 Bartlett is known to bave won several hundred dollars on the result. At that time one of his bondsmen wrote him that he desried to come off the bond, but for some reason he remainnd on it. No suspicion was entertained then, however, that anything was wrong with him. One of the counsel for the bondsmen told me this afternoon that they intended fighting the matter to the last. Major Green Bartlett's father-in law, telegraphed his family that it will be impossible for him to come out here at present. THE RECEIVER OF THE BANK. Mr. John E. Phillips, of Charles ton bookkeeper for George A. Trenholm & Son, has been appointed receiver for the Sumter National Bank, which has been placed in such serious straits by the Bartlett defaication. Mr. Phillips was appointed at the suggestion of Col. Wm. L. Tren. holm. United States comptroller of the treasury, and having wide experience in the keeping of accounts will no doubt give general satisfaction. He has already furnished bond to the amount of $20,000, and will immediately assume charge of the bank. DID BARTLETT GO WEST ? A railroad man said to a Reporter yesterday that he was of the opinion that Bartlett, the absconding bank cashier, had gone West via Charleston, and the theory that he had bought a ticket to the North in order to throw the officers of the bank off his track was the correct one. "The correctness of this theory," said he, "is borne out by the fact this was the shortest, quickest and most convenient route by which he could get out of the country. The train which took him from Sumter reached Florence at 1.15 A. M. At 1.30 he took the fast mail train for Charleston, reaching Ashley Junction at 4 A. M., when he boarded the train for Savannah. This train carried him through to the West, landing him at 7 o'clock the next morning in New Orleans, where the Southern Pacific Railroad makes close connection for Mexico and points in the far West."

A SENSATION IN SUMTER. Col. R. Wallace Struck With a Cane by Mr. P. G. Bowman. whom he had Accused of Drawing on the Bank when he had no Money. Special to News and Courier. SUMTER, September 19.-Quite a ripple of excitement was caused here this morning by a fight between Col. R. M. Wallace, president of the defunct Sumter National Bank, and Mr. P. G. Bowman. It seems that in examining the bank papers the receiver found among other vouchers drafts amounting to over $3,000, which bad been drawn by Mr. Bowman on the bank last year. Col. Wallace mentioned this fact to a gentleman in town and added that Mr. Bowman had no money in the bank when the drafts were drawn. Mr. Bowman heard of the remark and meeting Col. Wallace on Main street, in front of the Courthouse this morning, asked him about it, Col. Wallace replied that he had said it, whereupon Mr. Bowman said that he did have money in the bank when he made the drafts and told Col. Wallace that he was a liar, adding that he thought Wallace was as deep in the bank robbery as Bartlett. Wallace gave Bowman the lie, and the latter immediately struck him across the head and shoulders twice with a light bamboo cane which he, carried in his hand. Col. Wallace caught the cane out of Mr. Bawman's hand. when Bowman drew his pistol. Several bystanders then rushed up and parted the combatants. Both were arrested but were released after being summoned before the Police Court in the morning, when all the facts and circumstances of the case will receive an official investigation. At the time the drafts referred to were drawn Mr. Bowman had money in the bank amounting to about 84,000, about $600 being his own, and about $3.340 belonging to two clients, for whom he had collected from the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company on judgments obtained against that company. Col. Wallace says that there was. no deposit credited to Mr. Bowman on the books when the drafts were made. There is a report on the streets that Receiver Phillips has discovered an error in the bank examiner's estimate of the defalcation amounting to about $14,000 in favor of the bank Mr. Phillips refuses to say anything about the matter, but does not deny the truth of the rumor.

The State Agricultural Department is informed that a company has recently been organized in one of the Northern cities, with a capital of $250,000, for the purpose of making "summer matting" from rushes, and that the company is now seeking a place to locate their factory where the rushes grow in abundance. Any parties who have lands upon which the rushes grow to the length of 3 feet or more are requested to furnish their address to the Commissioner. At Greenville Thursday an interesting case of mistaken identity varied the monotony of the United States Court. Isaac McLaughlin, a negro, was arrested four months ago on the charge of selling whisky without a license. He has been held in jail since that time, but when witnesses were sworn in court to testify against him, they testified that the prisoner was the wrong man altogether. This brought the trial to an unexpected denouement, and McLaughlin was released. Miss Annie Utsey, daughter of the late W. M. Utsey, Jr., who lived near George's, was fatally burned on Friday last. Her clothing caught from an open fire when she was alone in the house, and she rushed out and ran for a hundred yards, trying to tear off her garments, but they were entirely consumed before assistance reached her. She walked back to the house without falling. She died on Saturday, retaining her consciousness to the last. She was to have been married last week, and was buried in her bridal dress. Her betrothed reached her before her death. At Camden last year the real and personal property was listed at $491,595. It is estimated that the returns will amount to more than $500,000 this year. Only thirty-one dogs are returned for this year, and the number of dogs in town is variously estimated by different ones at from 200 to 500. The County Auditor's books show that there are 1,859 dogs in the county. No one seems to doubt that there are 5,000. Each dog is valued at $5 a head. Thirteen hundred and twenty-nine sheep and goats are returned, at a valuation of $1,360, making each sheep or goat worth on the average a little more than $1. There is some difficulty about the collection of State taxes claimed by the State to be due by the Sumter Bank, recently bankrupt, and of which John E. Phillips was appointed receiver by the Comptroller of the Currency. The Auditor of Sumter assessed the bank for the full amount of shares outstanding. The receiver claims that the bank is not liable, as each shareholder returned his own stock. The Comptroller of the Currency has the same opinion upon the subject, and a correspondence will now ensue, but in the meantime the County Treasurer has turned the matter over to the Sheriff to attach the property of the bank. At the request of the receiver, Comptroller General Verner has instructed the County Treasurer to recall and withhold his executions delivered to the Sheriff until the matter can be decided. There is a question as to whether the lien of the depositors of the bank is superior to that of the State.

WASHINGTON NEWS. WHAT THE UNITED STATES OFFICIALS ARE DOING. The situation of affairs in Hayti, according to reports received at the Department of State, has assumed so serious a phase that it has been decided to send a naval vessel to that country for the protection of American interests. The chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, in his annual report says that the production of securities by the bureau during the fiscal year exceeded that of any previous history of the bureau, 38,040,948 sheets being printed 5,388,777 more than in 1887. Because Lord Sackville-West, the British ambassador at Washington, wrote a letter to a naturalized citizen at Los Angeles, Cal., advising him how to vote in the presidential election, the U. S. Government has requested Lord Salisbury to recall Lord Sackville-West. The Comptroller of the Currency has declared a third dividend of 18 per cent in favor of the creditors of the National Bank of Sumter, S. C., making in all 80 per cent on claims proved, amounting to $75,339. This bank failed August 22, 1887. In an opinion rendered by Justice Bradley, in the drummer tax case of William G. Asher vs. the state of Texas, the Supreme Court of the United States, on Monday, declared unconstitutional all state laws imposing a license tax upon commercial travelers not residents of the state imposing the tax. President Cleveland has modified the sentence of dismissal in the case of Lieut. Col. George A. Forsyth, 4th cavalry, convicted by court-martial of duplicating his pay accounts, so as to provide for his suspension from rank and duty for a term of three years on half pay. The disgraced colonel was a trusted member of Gen. Sheridan's staff at one time, and was a brave and reckless soldier during the War. Secretary of State Bayard on Tuesday, informed Lord Sackville-West, the British minister, that President Cleveland directed him to officially say to him, that from causes heretofore made known to her majesty's government, his continuance in his present official position in the United States is no longer acceptable to this government, and would consequently be detrimental to the relations between the two countries. The Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia in the case of the Georgia Railroad and Banking company, plaintiff in error, V8. the Railroad Commissioners of Georgia. The Railroad Commissioners, by the authority of the State Legislature, prescribed what should be reasonable and just rates of transportation, and the Railroad company brought an action against them, claiming that the rates established constituted an impairment of the contract between the state and the company, by its charter granted in 1863.
