NEW FEDERAL BUILDING, Congressman Gillet Is Using Hi: is Best Endeavors. Congressman Gillet is on several Important committees which entails a large amount of work. He is giving a large share of his time to securing early action by the treasury department on the federal building for this city. The fact that the congressman is still obliged to use crutches in making his way around the city of Washington does not in the least decrease his activity. The congressman has been assured by officials in the treasury department that work on the plans will be commenced as soon as the attorney general is able to get the title of the property satisfactorily established.

The trea. ury department will not expend one dollar toward the preparation of plans until a satisfactory title has been established to the site and this necessarily makes the progress of the matter a trifle slow. Elmira is not the only city to have a government building, there being sixty other places Just as anxious as this city to have work commenced on the plans for buildings which have been allotted to them. Owing to the increased cost in building materials it is not improbable that Congressman Gillet will be forced to ask for an additional appropriation for the building in this city. This has been necessary in other cases and it la not likely that Elmira will be any exception.

It is quite certain that the original appropriation will not allow under the present circumstances, the erection of a building such as has been proposed. SPECIAL MUSIC. A Feature of the Services at the First M. E. Church Yesterday.

STRANGERS ARRESTED, They Had Thirteen Boxes of Cigars Under Their Coats. Two unkempt looking individuals were apprehended by the local police and lodged in jail. About 9:45 o'clock as Attorney M. 1. Sullivan was walking up Kinyon street on his way to Kelly's drug store, which is located on the corner of Pennsyl- across the street at the same time no tieing that the large glass in one of the front windows had been broken.

Being convinced that all was not as it should be, Attorney Sullivan immediately notified the police, and officers were stationed at the north end of the city bridges. --it ciucit uuiucr jaiiicB saw me men coming over tne itanroaa Driage and their arrest quickly followed. They had" in their possession thirteen boxes of cigars. They said that they had obtained the cigars in Pennsylvania. The men are both of slight build, undersized and are apparently twenty-six or twenty seven years of age.

Frank Foster was the name given by one, who said he hailed from Syracuse, and the other fel- low gave hi3 name as James Lavery of Rochester. The men were arraigned In police court this morning and remanded for twenty-four hours in which to secure counsel. It might be a good idea for them to retain Attorney Mortimer ul- nVan, as he is well acquainted with the facts of the case. FATHER WATTSON'. Great Results Being Accomplished at Grace Church Mission.

She Addressed a Large Meeting at tne Lake Street Presbyterian Church. Major Edith Marshall of the Salvation Army addressed a large audience at the Lake Street Presbyterian church last night. Miss Marshall recently came to this city from New York.

A number of the members of the city branch of the army occupied seats near the pulpit. Upon, the platform with her was Captain Cole, who is a sister worker and deeply interested In the work. The Rev. Allen F. De Camp introduced Major Marshall, who spoke a few words, telling of gratitude and happiness at being able to address the audience.

She introduced Captain Cole who has been connected with the Chicago branch of the army. Miss Cole pang a pathetic song, playing an accompaniment on the guitar. Miss Marshall then addressed the audience. She told a number of her experiences since becoming a Salvation Army officer, describing a visit into the slums of Ne York. After Bellini-several interesting and pathetic stories, Miss Marshall called upon a brother in the audience to tell how he had been saved.

After this the major spoke further of the work and mentioned that she was deeply interested in the army in Elmira and said that the work show ed good accomplished and that with HOW He Stole 91,000 Witttout Detection. TOO MUCH AUTHORITY Was Finally Captnred at His Bold Uime by a Shrewd Bank Years at Sing Lewis E. Goldsmith, the defaulting assistant cashier of the National bank of Port Jervis, whose peculations caused the suspension of that institution, was arraigned Saturday before Judge Thomas in the criminal branch of the United States circuit court. As he had previously announced his intention, he pleaded guilty and was remanded for sentence. Goldsmith admits the theft of $31,000 and tells an interesting story of the methods by which he deceived bank examiners who were sent at various times during the years while he was robbing the bank, to examiaa his books.

Goldsmith says that the entire management of the clerical force of the bank rested in his hands and, that the frequent examination of the bank's affairs, the reports -made several times a year, to the controller, and in fact, all the details of the bank's daily routine were conducted entirely under his supervision and by his direction. "I had too much authority," he said, "and too much opportunity to steal was given to me. I wa3 quick at figures and could I say it without any ego tismdo my work faster and more completely than any one connected with the institution. My defalcations date back so far that it is impossible for me to remember the exact date. I started by permitting certain depositors to overdraw their accounts and at last took a little of the bank's money for my own purposes.

"My father-in-law was considired one of the richest men In Tort Jervis, and I confidently expected that when he died a large fortune would fall to my wife and myself. I knew then that I could replace any money to which I was Indebted to the- and so beyond fixing up my books in anticipation of the semi-annual visit of the bank examiner I had little to worry about. Then my father-in-law died, and it was discovered that instead of being a rich man, as all had believed, his estate was heavily involved, and after settlement there was nothing left. "I was into the bank's funds pretty deep by this time and began to realize for the first time the fact that I was in a desperate situation, and that the only way in which I could recover myself was by turning to Wall street, which I did. "My only danger of discovery at any time was at the time of the semi-annual visit of the bank examiner.

For purposes of protection and to prevent collusions, the same examiner can only visit a national bank twice. Then a new face appears upon the scene. During the period in which I was doctoring my books and fixing my accounts for the visit of the examiner, I suppose more than a dozen different men mado semi-annual examinations. These men had gone carelessly over my accounts, and In each instance, until the examination made hy William H. Bryan, the discrepancies' in my accounts had passed undiscovered.

"In fact it was only through an accident that the discovery was made by Mr. Bryan on November 14. He had passed upon the bool.s, had found them all right and had put on his overcoat ana nat, and was about to c-ive or, other respite of six months, when, he turned as he was going out and asked to iook at the last controller's wnnrt Then I knew that I was discovered. Iii an tne years my books have been amined and I have been with the bank for twenty-one years no examiner had ever asked to see the controller's report niu naa not prepared it as I would have don had I anticipated any such demand. "This was the beginning- of the nnri and I can honestly say that with the uiscovery came relief.

For years every moment I had sat behind my desk in the bank had been a moment of torture. The dread of discovery was far worse than the realization. Now that I have pleaded guilty I await my sentence with I might say, pleasant anticipation. There can be no punishment meted out to me half so severe as ihat through which I have passed during- me litsi lew years while evading discovery, and at the same time honrlv anticipating it. "Thank God it Is all over now.

and I can accept the sentence to be Imposed upon me witn the knowledge that can rest in prison and perhaps come out some day to begin life over again, with the knowledge of past errors to prevent another mishap." COT EIGHT YEARS. Louis D. Goldsmith, for years the assistant cashier of the Port Jervis, N. National bank, who pleaded guilty of having stolen $01,000 from that institution, was Saturday sentenced to serve eight years in Sing Sing. The self confessed bank wrecker, with a deathly pallor upon his face, stood si lent while his counsel, Mr.

Crane of Port Jervis, pleaded for leniency for him. CAUSED A CONTROVERSY. The Rev. Wilbur Chapman of New xork, well Known Here, Concerned? A controversy over the publication of the biography of Evangelist Dwight L. Moody has arisen between the Rev.

She was not in good health at the time her disease we call Tic-douloureux, the most painful of all utalgic ailments. After spending much of her fortune for medical service she be came discouraged, there being no signs of relief. To me it was a plain case of coffee poisoning.

The lectures delivered in the Sunday school room of the Baptist church on the afternoon and evening of January 27th, under the patronage of the l.ical chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution, are exciting great, interest wherever they are given. They are based on the most authentic historical records, and enlivened by anecdotes and incidents.

The photographs are the result of a journey made by Mr. Ellsworth, 'with a camera, to the hat-tle-fields; and the old prints and rare manuscripts are the most interesting of the thousands of treasures contained in the Ix-nox library of New York, and In other great collections. The field covered includes Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill, Long Island, Harlem Heights, Fort Washington, Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Ger-mantown, Monmouth, Oriskan.y, Saratoga, Bennington, Charleston, S.
