Ucation in the public print,, of ,

the State Treasurer with the convict

followed by the proclamation ofiJovtr

l. , . , , , .
charging that it has U'en .the custom of
u,e accounung omcers, in uie paRl, in
this particular. But the Jaw which has .
leen hud
d down for the guiilaiice of the i
General and State Treasurer is a '
Auditor
l:.in one. It is tl duU- of tl... ofli- !
cers to see to it that no county official
charged with the eolltvstion of state
funds, failed to report tiie amount col
lected by him quarterly, -and to make
pavment to the treasury of .the state -all
moneys in his hamls on this account, 1
quarterly or oftener if Xhc accounting
officer saw fit to demand jt.
The friends of the State Treasurer are
.naturally very much in&insed that he
.also has been included in .the proclama
tion of the Governor, but no other con
sistent course lay open. Tlie same law
which applies to the Auditor General,
applies to the State Trejwurer. If the
.one was derelict in duty, tlie .other has
Iieen so also. Herein lies .a little history
which dates back to that period in the
tiuancial affairs of Pennsylvania when
U-c once toverful 3IadLey .nnd Quay
ring were first obtaining . foothold in '
political affairs. It was found couven- j
icnt when the Auditor General of the
State was not willing to lie a party to all ,
their schemes to devise legirJatioii which
gavc-to the State Treasurer equal powers j
witl. him, and so it was that as time j
weut on, the State Treasuuer came to
have, full power to compel settlements ;
from county and other officials with that
posseed by the Auditor General.
These - "chickens have come lionie to
roost." It is unfortunate now that the
State .Treasurer has been clotJUed with
equal power with the Auditor General,
for it vonJkl be a most convenient way
of. escape for him to simply claim that
iie was but. the custodian of tine fluids,
and that tUo Auditor General uik .the
iOollector.
Taken all In all, the Republicans Are
iin a dreadful dilemma. Which hum
ilyy will seize, they are at a loss to de
termine. If they cast obstructions ia
the way of investigation, they will Ie
crusted by the condemnation of tine
public. If they .conclude to make a
icrifioe of the Auditor General, they
loose their political iower. It remains
ito lie sotn what course in their wisdom
they .w.ilS pursue.

Guire w;ts burned to death at Rraddock.
Six houses were also destroyed at an
early hour this morning. The fire-started
in a row of six frame houses and was
caused by the expliiision of a lamp. jTc
Guire was asleep t the time the fire
started and it appear? was n it awakened
by the noise or the excitement caused
by the blaze. The houses-were all oc
cupied by tenajits. Young McGuire,
boarded with his ister-in-law, Annie
McGuire, a widow living in the house
in which the fire started.
He was not winied until after the fire
was about out. A search of tlie ruins
recovered his rharred remains. It is
probable that he was partly suffocated
by the smoke before he awoke, and then ,
being unable to help hfiuself , fell a vic
tim to the flames. As the houses were
all frame, tlie lire burned very rapidly.
The fire departu.ent;did everything they
could to save the property, luit it had
gained such headway liefore they arrived
that it was impossible to save any of the
houses. McGuire was about 2S wars
old and worked as a laUrt'r in tlie Ed
gar Thomson steel works. He has lived
in Braddock all his life and is well known.
Thc houses burned were cheap structures,
lieing worth about $400 apiece.

erable excitement was created at Mill
vale to-day by the arrest of Harry Stit
man, a prominent merchant of that
place. He is charged with the robliery
Vif John Carnahan, of Sewickly town
ship, w-hich occurred about three monllis
ago. It will be rcmemlered that some
one entered the old farmer's house and
stole from a chest the sum of $0,000.
Suspicion at the time rested on the
hired man, Jacob McXally. Tlie de
tectives yesterday arrested Stitman and
he promptly eonfssed that the money
was given to him by McXally the day
after the robbery, but to-day only turned
over less than half the amount. The
merchant was brought to this place and
at a Lite hour secured bail after being
scut to jail by a Justice. McXally, who
it apiiears stole the money, will be ar
rested to-day.
