His Stealings While Treasurer of Philadelphia. PmuapgLraia, July 16, — The ex- perta appointed by Mayor Stuart to in- vestigate the accounts of John Bardsley have made their final report, in which the disgraced ex-treasurer’'s dealings are fully shown. With few exceptions all the money for Bardsley's stock deals, made through Glendinning & Co., was secured by checks on the deposit of pub- lic money in the Keystone bank. The total of the stock bought through Glendinning & Co. amounted to $102,- 732.13; from William H. Kemble, $50,- 687.50, and that bought through the Peoples buyik, $16,850. ~The recapitulation of losses through Glendinning & Co. was $102,732.13; through Wiliam m H. Kemble, $30,887.40, and through the People's bank, 16,850— a total of $170,569.63. Bardsley's'total gains on these stock transactions were $30,116.63, and the net loss was $134,453. Gain on stock purchased by Mr. Bardsley, mainly with money borrowed by him from the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ National bank; West Side Chicago Railroad company -— 2 000 shares bought from Kemble, Widener & Elkins, $32,518 75. The dividends and interest received by him during 1589, 1880 and 1891 on stock and bonds purchased by him with and the interest paid by him to carry loans amounted to £10,064.01, leaving a profit of $32,405.99. Loans were made by Dardsley with public money to Robert Glendenning & Co. amounting to £300,000, which were repaid him. He received from Glen denning & Co. ds interest on loans $13,- 026.37. He loaned the Bradford mills cash to the amount of £375,5800.78, which does not appear to have been re- turned. There are other and smaller loans which were made by Mr. Bardsley from time tp time To different persons, As to many of these loans there is at present no means by which we can satisfactor- ily determine which have been paid and which hawe not. With relation to the question of loans to juages, Hon. Thomas K. Finletter, either borrowed from Mr. Bardsley per- sonally the sum of $600, or obtained this sam throngh Mr. Bardsley's indorse- ment. The very small amount and the further fact there is no evidence that a loan was made out of any public money, proves the transaction te be entirely free from any element of impropriety: nor indeed, does there appear in the matter anvthing which would reflect upbn Judge Finletter in any way whatever. The transactions with Hon. William N. Ashman related solely to his salary. These are the only judges with whom Mr. Bardsley appears to have had any transaction whatever, Memorandmmn on page 43 shows that Bardsley recetved as rebate on adver. tising in 1889, £16.2890.04, and the entry reads less mount paid to H. N. Graflin, $1425.04. Ome half to Thomas Mc Camant, $7,144.52; one half to J. B., £7.144.42, In 1890 the mercantile advertising amounted to $42,865.20, and an item showing a deposit to Bardsley's account of §17,076.00, which is 40 per cent. of the sum credited as newspaper balance, The account between the state and city is gone into very fully, and leaving the due bills on the Keystone bank, amounting to §925,0600, ont the total net deficiency in Bardsley's accounts is 508,835.08, With the due bills added it 1s just that much more. Of the dae bills, however, the experts state that (they have a well grounded suspicion that they are not genuine, and to settle the question must have free access to the books of the Keystone bank.

Some of the crops in the northern and north- eastern sections of Berks county are be- inning to feel the effects of dry weather, n this portion of the East Penn valley there is very little clover coming up in the grain fields. Some farmers are plowing the fields for the purpose of re. sowing them with grain, and will de. pend upon the old grass fields for next year's hay crop. Many of the cornfields present an unfavorable appearance. An examination of the roots revealed the fact that the main root had been eaten off by a worm, which accounts for the slow growth of the stalk.
