BOODLER BARDSLEY.
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.
Children Fatally Burned,
Erie, Pa., July 18.—Lena, the 6-year-
old daughter of a baker named Charles
Schwartz, while making a bonfire in

fact that the main root had been eaten
