HEBDICS CASE DISCUSSED.
An Kastern Authority States That the
Pool Seller Has Xot Keen Reinstated.
Writing nbout the recent expulsion of
Frank llcrdic and others at Baltimore, an
Eastern authority says:
Of the expelled party Herdic was tho one
most seriously affected, for his harvest rime
as pool seller had just begun, and ho could
not continue his business while under the
ban. He made an earnest appeal for respite
till he could put in his defense, and at first
the judges seemed inclined to grant a stay
of proceedings. After consultation with the
directors thev decided to let the matter re
main, and left the stand without changing
the verdict.
Herdic came to New York tho next day,
but returned to Baltimore on Monday, and,
according to n dispatcli sent out that night,
succeeded In getting a temporary reinstate
ment. Ho produced his pool book nnd
showed that no had backed Tom Hamilton
to w In and told his friends to do the same,
but how ever clear the merits of his case tho
-o-called reinstatement is of no value to him.
lor tne autnonty ot tne juuges ceased when
they left the track, and any subsequent ac
tion was beyond their jurisdiction. Herdic
got into trouble once before, and was disci
plined by the association at Rochester in
connection with the notorious Loretta F.
race In the summer meeting of 1887. He
came bofore the Board of Review the next
ear and told so straight a story that he was
reinstated, but has not sold any pools at'
Rochester since.
As for the three men who are still In exile,
one of them at least seems to have been
hardly used. This is George F. Davis, the
owner of Tom Hamilton, who bears a good
reputation In his Vermont home, where he
has a stock farm, and has had little or noth
ing to do with racing previous to this year.
He ovrns the sin' and dam of the gelding
that got him luto trouble, nnd put him on
the turf to help the value of the horses he
has tlint are similarly bred. He came to
Baltimore, and was therefore made a princi
pal In the plot, but his statement that he
trusted his driver completely and instructed
him to win If possible Is believed by those
who know him.
II. E. Brewster, who drove Hamilton till
he was taken out, does not bear a good repu
tation in his own locality, and throughout
New England the bettor class of turfmen do
not hav c a good word to say for him. George
II. Hicks, tlie lessee of Beacon Park, tells of
a shady affair in which Brewster was con
cerned at his track, and altogether tho
prospects for his getting back are very un
favorable. The fourth victim, W. H. AchuflT, is well
know u in Philadelphia, and this year has
been training a stable at Belmont Park.
This mnkes the second expulsion for Achuff.
who was on the black list for some time, and
only got back a year ago. The determined
action taken by tho Pimlico Club Is mos
commendable, on tho broad principle of
Keeping tne tun rree irom rascality, ana it
remains to be een whethcrin this particular
instance it has dealt justly with all the
parties.
A Good Checker Player.
W. C. Brown, the Central Pennsylvania
expert checker player, visited Pittsburg last
week and defeated John Mulholland and
William Harrison at headquarters, 96 Sev
enth avenue. He stated that three of the
strongest players of Altoona. besides him
self, will visit Pittsburg on July 4 and plar
in tne team niatci:.
"Wants to "Wrestle Iteilly.
Tho following challengo from Han Kolb,
Philadelphia, explains itself: "I, Dan Kolb,

style, for $230 and the entire

THE INCREASE FOE OTHER COUNTIES
TSrEClAL TELEOnAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Haebisburo, June 14. In view of the
wholesale robbery perpetrated by City
Treasurer Bardsley, the financial legislation
of the recent session of the State Assembly
will be of great assistance to Philadelphia,
in getting it out of its present trouble. The
Legislature,-in increasing the school-appro-'
priation frem $2,000,000 to ?5,000,O00,a year;
in adding a mill to 'the personal property
tax and providing that three-fonrths of it
shall be given to the counties, and in rais
ing the retail liquor license fees in cities of
the first and second classes from $500 to
f 1,000, and providing that all the revenues
from this source be paid into the treasuries
of those municipalities, has been particu
larly generous to Philadelphia. The city's
increased revenues which will proceed from
the laws enumerated will approximate
?2,000,000. annually.
The newly imposed liquor license fees,
and the changi! in their distribution will
add to the funds of Philadelphia between
fS00,000and 1900,000. Unless the -number
of licensed places should undergo a diminu
tion, the increase in the amount required to
be paid on personal property and the change
in its assignment will give the city between
8500,000 and $600,000 additional revenues.
and the increase in the amount of the school
appropriation will contribute about $620,000
more to the city's exchequer than the old
appropriation allowed.
More Money for Allegheny County.
The increased school appropriation will
give Allegheny county added funds amount
ing to about $205,000, the new retail liquor
law nearly $300,000 and the increased tax on
personal property about 586,000, making an
aggregate increase in the three items of
$651,000.
There are nearly 2,300 school districts in
the State,none of which have received'their
appropriations except Philadelphia, whose
school yeat ends on the 31st of December,
while all the rest terminate their year on
the first Monday of June. Between 200 and
300 of the school districts have submitted
the necessary documents to the Department
of Public Instruction to secure the amounts
due them, but owing to the complications
which the appointment of Prof. Snyder as
Superintendent of Public Instruction have
introduced, none of these have been paid.
The required warrants on the 'treasury have
not been made out by Prof. Waller, and if
they were presented to the State Treasurer
for payment "they would not be honored, be
cause of the legal dispute as to the Tight of
the incumbent to perform the duties of the
office he holds.
The School Districts Mnst Wait.
There are due the various school districts
nearly $1,600,000, in addition to the amounts
owing the county school superintendents for
the last quarter, aggregating about $20,000.
Xone-of these moneys will be paid out
until the present controversy is settled by a
judicial opinion from the highest court, or
an amicable agreement is reached' to treat
the acts of the acting superintendent as
legal, pending the proceedings to oust him
from his office.
There are in the general fund of the State
Treasury nearly $3,000,000, and owing to
the losses to which the State Treasury has
been subjected in the collatise to two tank
ing institutions, in which State moneys
were deposited, and the financial unrest
which City Treasurer Bardslev's rascality
has produced, the yearly liquidation of the
State's indebtedness for the maintenance of
the public schools would be very acceptable
to Mr. Boycr, who has had quite enough of
the power which enables him to-select the
banks in which to deposit the public mon
eys. The appropriation under the bill allowing
the schools of Pennsylvania $5,000,000 a
year, Instead of $2,000,000 as now, is not
payable until the first, Monday in June,
182. Then cach'district'will bo entitled to
$2 50 tor every $1 paid to it at present.
The appropriations to 'the schools are made
a'ccoraing to the number of taxables in each
district, and the rate distributable is
$1 38 3-10 for every taxable. The rate per
taxable when the $5,000,000 are 'paid out to
the school districts will be $3 45Jf. The
following figures show the difference be
tween the amounts to which the various
counties are now entitled for school pur
poses and to which they will be entitled
nnderthe new law:

An impression has gone abroad that there
is a string to the provision appropriating
$5,000,000 a year to the public schools, be
cause the payment of the appropriation is
made contingent on the certification by tlie
State Treasurer that there are sufficient
funds in the Treasury fo meet the obliga
tion. At the Department of Public Instruc
tion this provision is construed as not being
prejudicial to the payment of the entire
amount of the State's bountyand as simply
preventing warrants from being issued on
the State Treasurer when the funds are in
adequate to cash them.
In a number of instances the school dis
tricts had to wiU months after their allow
ances became payable under the law before
they received them. This was due to the
fact that the State Treasurer was unable,
through other heavy payments, to cancel
the claims of the school districts.

DROWNED WHILE DRUNK.
Sad Fate of an Eight-Year-Old Sonthslde
Boy Said to Have lleen Given "Whisky
Captain Stewart Looking for thoTJian
"Who Did It.' .
There are several young men on the South
side who can feel'responsjble this morning
for the death of an innocent boy, if the in
vestigation of Coroner .McDowell of .-the
drowning of Willie Moore, an 8-year-old boy,
which occurred yesterday morning,is correct
The Southsidehas been gaining a reputation
of late years for its Sunday rowdyism on the
hills which the most strenuous efforts of the
police have even yet failed to check, but
nothing quite so shameful has occurred as
the drowning of. yesterday, which 'is now
being investigated by Captain Stewart.
According to the story of Coroner Mc
Dowell, developed through his own investi
gation, Willie Moore and a. companion
named Tommy Cotton, both about the
same age, went down to the river to take a
bath.
At the foot of Twenty-first street the
boys met a party of young men who had
been drinking somewhat, and who were vet
supplied with a good quantity of whisky.
The young men, by means of threatening to
drown the boys, induced them to drink
whisky until both of them were very drunk.
Willie Moore, it seems, was the only one
who went in bathing, and being m a stupid
state from liquor he was drowned. His body
was recovered shortly after and taken tb
his parents' home in Fox alley, near South
Twenty-first street.
Young Cotton managed to make his way
to his home on Sidney street, and was in
such a condition from liquor that his actions
all day and last night were like those of a
demented person. lie was in such a state
that his parents were badly frightened, and
could get nothing from him.
The facts were given to Captain Stewart,
who started in to work on the case at once,
and it is probable that the parties wlio fur
nished the boys liquor will tie arrested.

What the Secretary of War Says About
the Ranin Matter.
Chicago, June 14. Secretary of the In
terior John W. Noble and party arrived
here to-day from Hot Springs, Ark. Mr.
Noble, when questioned as to the host of
rumors which have lately come from Wash
ington in regard to changes in his Depart
ment, disclaimed any knowledge of most of
them. "There are to be'no changes in the
immediate future that I know of now," he
said. ' "While I have been absent from
Washington lor a month I have been in
constant daily communication with the
capital, and considerable of the Department
business has followed me on my trip.
"The Ratim matter, it is true, came up
before I left Washington, and the services
of Commissioner Baum's son and the three
young men who were implicated were dis
pensed with. I had no communication with
the Commissioner regarding the matter,
and did not know wha't he intended to do
aboutit. I have had no chance to talk to
him since, and don't know whether it has
influenced his future actions or not. The
affair was independent of my relations with
him, and so far as it was concerned they re
main the same as before."
PBEMIEB ABBOTTS CABINET.
It Will Probably Include Nearly All of
Macdonald's Coadjutors.
Ottawa, June 14. Hon. J. J. C. Ab
bott, Premier-elect, spent several hours at
his office in the Senate chamber to-day and
had many callers." It is officially learned
that he is making progress in I113 task of
forming a ministry, and will likely be able
to announce when the House meets on
Tuesday next that he has been successful.
The Government will be carried on on the
old lines till after the session, when the re
construction takes place.
As far as can be learned, all of the recent
colleagues of the late Sir John Macdonald
have been invited to join Mr. Abbott's Min
istry. It is definitely known that already
Sir Hector Xiangevin, Sir John Thompson,
Hon. George O. Foster and Hon. E. Mc
Kenzie Bowell have accepted. If any
trouble occurs it irill come from Hon.
J. A. Chapleau, who asserts that
he regards Sir John Thompson as
the best qualified under the circum
stances for the Premiership. Mr. Abbott
has cabled to London ordering his brokers
to sell all his stock in the Canadian Pacific
Kailroaci. President Van Horn has also re
ceived Mr. Abbott's resignation as director
of the company. Sir John Thompson was,
it is understood, asked by the Governor
General to form a ministry, but he de
clined, owing to the opposition of two of
his French colleagues and the TJltra-Prot-estants
of Ontario.
FOUGHT FOE A GIEL.
An Engineer and His Fireman, Rival Lov
ers, Battle on a Flying Engine
ISPECIAL TKLEOKAM TO THK DISPATCII.1
Alliance, O., June 14. A thrilling en
counter took place on board an engine on
the Lake Erie, Alliance and Southern Rail
road between the fireman and engineer.
Edward Benitz, the engineer, and James
McSwigan, the fireman, were both candi
dates for the hand of Miss Julia Spuler, a
pretty brunette who resides with her pa
rents at Bergholz, the southern terminus of
the road.
They left Bergholz with a mixed passen
ger and freight train. When within 20
miles of this city, McSwigan told Benitz
that he had proposed to Julia-and had been
accepted. This enraged the engineer, and,
releasing his hold on the throttle, he sprang
upon is rival, and a terrible battle ensued.
The train was running at the rate of 25 miles
an hour. McSwigan grabbed a shovel to
defend himself, but the engineer wrested it
from his grasp and soon had him upon his
back on the tender, pummcling him. A
brakeman rushed forward and separated
the combatants. The train in the mean
while had not slackened its speed, and the
passengers were unaware of the tragic scene
that was transpiring on the engine. On
promise that the matter wouldn't be re
ported, both men resumed their posts.

A Strike of Architectural Iron Workers and
War on World's Fair Managers.
Chicago, June 14. Fifteen hundred
architectural iron workers here will strike

night, with 600 present. A committee re
ported that all the bosses in the city had
been notified of the demand. They had re
fused to accede to them, with the exception
of four firms, who offered to grant the eight
hours and wages required, bnt declined to

was unanimously decided not to dicker with
them unless they signed tlie agreement.
Delegates sent from the three metal work
ers' unions announced that they too, had
decided to strike Monday morning. These
three unions number 700 men.
The Joint Labor Committee on the
World's Fair lasn night issued a formal
declaration of war on the World's Fair
managers for refusing to grant the minimum
rate of wages, and called for a big meeting

rSPECIAL TELKGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
' Asbuby Park, N. J., June 14. A hand
some young Frenchman, who registered as
Eugene St. Cyr, was found dead in room
So. 118 of the West End Hotel this morn
ing. He had deliberately ended his life
by asphyxiation. The body was discovered
by Alice Ithodes, a young and pretty cham
bermaid. As she was making her rounds
on the second floor she smellcd gas and noti
fied J. S. Bipley, the proprietor of the
hotel. He thought there was a leak in the
pipes and turned the supply off at the
meter. The chambermaid was surprised to
find a key on the inside of the lock of room
118, which she thought was unoccupied. She
pushed the key out with a hairpin and then
unlocked the door with her pass key. As
she opened the door a huge volume of gas
rushed out into the hall. On the bed lay a
dead man.
The girl ran down stairs, screaming with
fright. Mr. Ripley ran to the room and
then summoned Dr. Samuel Johnson. The
dead man lay on his left side and looked as
if he were in a deep slumber. Dr. Johnson
examined the body and said the man had
undoubtedly been dead for some hours. The
gas burner was turned on full force, but was
unlighted. On the bureau was a bottle
half filled with mucilage. Strips torn from
newspapers had been pasted over the cracks
aronnd the window, door and the transom
over the door. The towels from the wash
stand had also been used to stop up the
transom.
Complete Preparations for Death.
The dead man was attired only in his un
derclothing. His coat, waistcoat, trousers
and shirt were neatly piled on a chair at the
side of the bed. Near the bottle of muci
lage on the bureau was a small blank book.
About a dozen leaves had been torn out.
The book contained the following letter:
I had Intended to make something ex
traordinary out of it, sending my farewell to
life to a morning paper, and reading It the
night of my wedding. The more unconscious
nature I had Intended to make It In the cor
rect placo a la morgue, but I content myself
with only mentioning these alms to some
thing higher. Howl felt to-day during the
preparation, like a girl dressing for her first
ball. I would not have disturbed yourpleas
nre. I myself don't take it very seriously,
and hope you will forgive me. But fled are
hours or life. Smiling will I die. surrounded
by music nnd sympathy, as I was not al
lowed to live. As to the main cause, she
will be gratified for my silence. To her I
send my last farewell. Farewell, my Illy
pale; my lovely nightingale.

Bequeathing His Body to Science.
On the next page it said:
My body I wish to be disposed by Dr.
Schweiz, 26 East Twentieth street, for
scientific purposes. No heartless priest must
be troubled for my sake. I intended to shoot
myself In the Garden Theater, but changed
my mind and think this way better. I hope
vou are considerate enough to like it.
Standard mysterious suicide. Ko average
one.
On the bureau was a cheap five-chambered
revolver of 32 caliber. The suicide was
about 30 years old. The body was taken to
the morgue of Undertaker Sexton and
placed in an icebox. The person who last
saw the mysterious young suicide alive was
the bell boy of the hotel, who took him a
pitcher of ice water at 11 o'clock last night.
He thanked him and said "Good-night" as
he took the pitcher.
The suicide arrived here on a train from
New York about 3 o'clock. He seated him
self on one of the benches in the depot
Iilatform and stroked his short beard care
essly as he watched the arriving and de
parting passengers. When Undertaker
Sexton and his man came to the depot with
a box containing a body, the suicide closely
watched them as they took it from the
wagon and placed it in a baggage car.
No Clew to His Identity.
At 9 o'clock he went to the West End
Hotel and asked for a room. Clerk Brown
assigned him to the room in which he was
found dead. After he registered he went
into the reading room, where he stayed
tome time, reading a novel. The suicide
caused intense excitement nmong the guests
of the hotel. In the reading room Mrs.
Ripley found a copy of Edmond DeAmicus'
novel, "KonstantinopeL" Alongside of it
on the table was a sheet of paper on which
the dead man had written this verse:
When death these mortal eyes shall seal.
And still this throbbing heart;
The rending veil shall then reveal
All glorious thou art.
The body was viewed at the undertaker's
establishment by many persons, but none of
them had seen the dea'd man before his ar
rival here to-day. Chief of Police Baily
telegraphed to Dr. Schweiz, but up to a late
hour had received no answer.

Over a Chicago Lake Front Property Owner
"Who Itefnaes Ills Grounds.
Chicago, June 14. The queer fight that
for seven weeks has occupied the attention
of Chicago newspapers, courts and muni
cipal officials over the control of the
Lake Front "World's Fair site came
to an end to-night. One abutting
prominent property owner announced an
intention to Keep the lake front clear of any
structures whatever except those intended
for the Columbian Exposition. The lake
front is the only centrally-located circus
ground in Chicago, but the single objector,
notwithstanding public clamor for that
amusement, refused to yield an inch from
his declared purpose.
Forepaughs agent personally, and
through the public works department,
labored with the objector in vain and
secured petitions signed by thousands of
names, including every newspaper propri
etor in the city, but without avail. The
matter was taken into the courts and went
through a legal grind, seldom equaled in
Illinois, resulting in the triumph for the

MESSAGES OF SORROW
That Caused Great Consternation in
the Census Bnrean.
MANY DISMISSALS TAKE PLACE.
Pathetic Scenes as the Fatal Envelopes Were
Handed Aronnd.
TUB APFROFRIATIOX IS EXHAUSTED
FPOM A STAFF COKRZSFOrDEXT.J
"Washingtox, June 14. Over 500 em
ployes of the Census Office have been dis
charged within the last week and many of
the scenes attending the dismissals are said
by those present to have been pathetic in
the extreme. "When the nicengers en
tered, their hands full of the fatal yellow
envelopes, there was an immediate hush.
"When the envelopes began to be handed
around the uproar commenced. "Well, I've
got my valentine," a man would sav. A
typewriter eirl would open her envelopo
with tremblings, trying to hope that it con
tained someting else than her dismissal, and
then gave way to harrowing sobi. One brave
little woman in the Lincoln Hall building,
who is the only support of her mother and
her dead sister's four children, closed her
teeth down hard on her under lip and said
not a word. She was used to reverse1.
An old man with a fine, intellectual faco
spoke up to a group of young men standing1
around and discussing the situation. Ha
said: "You young fellows, with strongarms,
sound bodies, and heads clear with youth,
you talk among yourselves of what you are
going to d"o when you 'get home." . Your
advantage over me is manifest. I have no
home." The talk among the men mingled
with the suppressed sobs of the women.
IJut, as almost always happens amid uch
distressing surroundings, Uicre were some
humorous incidents to relieve the tension.
A very large lady, when her envelope
was passed over to her, bridled up and
grew tremendously indisnant. As soon as
she was capable of speech she gasped out:
"Just wait till my Senator gets here. He's
coming to-morrow. Then they'll find ont
that he is n bigger man than the whole
Census Office put together. Just you wait
till he gets here. I won't budge from this
seat until I have been reinstated and had an
apology from the whole crowd for daring to
dismiss me."
The chief of one of the large division"-,
whose force was deciminated to almost
nothing; said the dismissal of his people was"
the sorriest task he had ever undertaken,
and that he could not again listen to the
recital of all the sad tales and pleadings for
reinstatement for all the money in the
treasury. As a matter of course, about
three-fourths of those dismissed will make
frantic efforts to be reinstated. They will
bring all the influence in their powerto bear
and the Superintendent of the Census will
hardly lie on a bed of roses for a long while.
The dismissals are purely on account of
the near exhaustion of the appropriation,
thongh a vast amount of work remains to
be done. It is the intention to work a very
much reduced force steadily, if jiossible,
till there is a new appropriation, and
possibly if the money be completely ex
hausted, a force will in some way be kept
on duty to live without pay until the meet
ing of Congress.
THEY FOLLOW NEW OELEAHS.
Indians aianler a Chinaman Acquitted of
the Charge of Murder.
Sax Fhaxcisco, June 14. A letter re

room and turned over to the Indians by
