Our slugpers reappeared nt Exposition
Park ycterday and lost another game.
Tho game Tas tolcraoly
ell played and lairly
speaking it -was a tough
one to lose because all
the home players plnyed
n-ell, indeed much better
than many people antici
pated. But the defeat was pro
ductive of one consolation,
viz., that our sluggers are
now as low in the record
list as they can get. They
dropped to eighth place
and there need he no more
anxiety among tho cranks
about the team getting any
lower. When things get
to their worst they mend,
is an old saying and our
Muggers having struck the bottom my re
solve to step toward the front from now on.
The great cause of yesterday's defeat was
the absence of good hitting. Antonio Mul
lane was out in his best form yesterday and
the home players could do nothing with
him. The three runs credited to the home
team were not recorded because of any clean
hitting.
Hits "Were Too Scarce.
All three were unearned runs. Lack of
hitting told its miserable tale as it has done
on score's of previous occasions. And It is
this defect more than any other that is
bringing defeat after defeat to our sluggers
who don't sing.
Although lack of hitting was the great
cause of defeat there were othercauses that,
under the circumstances, had a ma
terial effect. Galvin was as much
a puzzle to the Porkopolitans as
was Antonio to the home team.
And in this connection there was some
thing remarkable about Jimmy's efforts.
Up to the seventh inning only one hit had
Deen made off his delivery, and as Dame
Fortune would have it those Hamtown visi
tors lust let loose and banged out four great,
big base hits in that soventh Inning, and
these thumps, aided with a sacrifice hit and
a fumble by Browning, the only Pittsburg
error, by the way-gave Latham and his lot
their four runs. This quartet of tallies won
the game.
Now, wasn't that tough on Old Sport?
Onlv five hits to be made off his 'pitching
during the entire gamo and four of them to
be squeezed Into a sort of solidity that
forced In four runs. Probably tho old man
never worked harder In his life. Ho
wns as lively as a 2-yoar old in
his fielding and surprised everybody.
Crowning's errors may also havo been re
sponsible for the winning run, as it allowed
George Smith to round the baes. By Smith
doing this many thought he had made a
home run, but he didn't. When the records
nt Xick Young's office are made np It will be
found that George only made a two-base hit
and passed tho other two because of
Fete Browning's Fnrable.
Tho matter Is soon explained. Smith made
a line hit into Pete's territory. Pete ran.
and reached the ball and he allowed It to
pass him when he should have held it with
out any difficulty.
Again In the ninth Inning, when hits had
been so scarce, probably wrong judgment on
the part of Manager Ilanlon contributed to
ward the defeat. Miller led off with a very
neat single and Ilanlon followed him to bat.
Here the manager tried to bang out a hit,
and as a result the ball went to jicPheo and
a double piny wns made. Bergcr followed
with another good single. This circumstance
prompted the notion among outsiders that
if Ilanlon had made, and tried to make, a
eacriflco hit a run might have been scored.
But in this Inning Miller was injured, beside
being "doubled up" by Ilanlon. The latter
was put out at nrst'and then Miller was
hemmed in by fielders between the bases.
After dodging to and fro awhile he made a
run back to first, followed by Smith, who
had the ball. Miller was just in the act of
sliding to first when Smith touched him
very lorcibly on the back with the ball. This
accelerated Miller's speed, and as a result
one of his toes ias dislocated. He will bo
able to play in two or three days.
Joe liattin made his appearance as a
League umpire, and did very well. Tho at
tendance was very good, 1,300 being present,
and they were a very enthusiastic crowd.
They particularly enjoyed the antics and
remarks of Arlie Latham, who is Justly
termed the clown of the ball field.
How They Made Their nuns.
The home team were the first to score, and
they did it in the first inning. After Carroll
had been retired at first, Beckley got his
base on balls. Then Browning sent out a
red hot ono along tho left line for two bases,
Beckley landing on third. Bicrbauer's sac
rifice scored Beckley, and Mack retired the
side.
In the sixth Inning Beckley led off with a
three-bagger clean over John Beilly's head.
Browning -was hit by a pitched bull, Bier
bauer knocked out a foul fly to Latham,
Mack sent a grounder to Latham which tho
latter fumbled, Beckley scoring and Mack
being safe on first. Miller came next and
knocked the ball to McPhee. and in tho time
"Biddy" and three or four others were mak
ing a double play on Mack and , Miller
Bi owning scored.
Then came tho awful seventh Inning.
Holliday led off and cracked out a three
bagger beyond Pete Browning. Marr fol
low ed with a double in the same direction.
Beilly's sacrifice sent Marr to third, nnd tho
latter scored on Keenan's single to right.
George Smith was next, and ho knocked out
out a long liner that should only havo been
a two-baer, but Browning fumbled tho bull,
:ind Smith and Kcenan got home. Tho
score:

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
A Few Very Instructive and' Interesting
Pointers About Hass Fishing in tho
Sharon Section Plenty of Good Sport
There Fishermen Want a Change In
the Law.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCII.J
SnAnox, June 18. Sportsmen In this vicin
ity say tho prospects for good bass fishing
havo not been so good for years. Tho season
In this section generally opens with a num
ber of good catches reported, but during the
hot months of July and August Interest
wanes, as it is no child's play to stumhlo
down over the rocks of tho Slienango in a
broiling sun. Fisherman who have opened
the season here report more than the- usual
number of big fellows, all game to tho back
bone. Strings of f, 8 or even IS fine black
bass, weighing from ono to four pounds,
have been brought In frequently as tho re
sult of a day's sport. In two cases local
fishermen brought a couple of samples weigh
ing seven pounds each.
The fish aro biting readily at the usual
bait, helgramite being tho favorite tid-bit,
though they do not seem to sneeze at a fat
crab or brobk minnow. The cold weather
during the forepart of tho month has been
an excellent thing, as it gave the fish more
time to spawn, while the cold water allows
them to retain longer their fighting quali
ties. The fishermen hero are complaining
that the fishing season should not close un
til July. They say the laws are hard on tho
fish, as June is by all odds tho most perfect
time of spawning.

General Sporting Notes.
Martin Not that we know of.
Latham is still a very funny man.
The Beds have a great infield, and no mistake.
It's somo time now since Radbourn has won a
game for his team.
GALVIK emphatically declares that Latham has &
wheel in his head."
Without doubt the local team are almost all
physically broken up.
Bain prevented the Boston and New Tori
League ball games yesterday.
The New York snorting men think that Slavln is
the coming champion of the world.
Referee Duks's decision in the Slavln-KIlraln
affair Is certainly a very strange one.
We have finally reached last place, but yester
day's game was a good one for all that.
Some of the finest fielding witnessed on the home
grounds this season was witnessed yesterday.
Pete Browkisg is suffering from very sore feet
and It is w ith the greatest difficulty that he can run.
There were no games in the New York and
Pennsylvania League yesterday, owing to the gen
eral rains.
HANT.OJT tried to score yesterday by cutting third
base bv about 10 feet, while Ratten was not looking.
The trick didn't work as Ed was nabbed at the
plate.
OCT in the Western League cities they run their
teams Into the woods when they see a stranger in
town, fearing it might be an agent of the American
Association.
Slavin- w on ?380 on Wednesday with a 3-doIlar-hlll
at Sheephead Bay. He will return to England
as soon as he can. He wants to locate permanently
in America.
A rURFE of 825,000 has been offered by the Magic
Citv Athletic Club for a finish fight between Slavln
and SnlUvan. A 10,000 bond was filed In bank for a
faithful performance.
THE Prosecuting Attorney of the Cincinnati
court says he will not prosecute any more cases for
niaving nail on Sundav. andthcJcdee savs hwill
.not put them on open docket.
FLOODS IS THE ILLINOIS VALLEY.
Many Houses Washed Off Their Founda
tions and Lives Aro Lost.
Peorta, June 18. A terrible rainstorm
swept through the Illinos river valley last
night, doing great damage to crops, gar
dens and fences. In Hilton, a small town
across the river from Peoria, many
houses were washed from their foundations.
The occupants fled, scantily olothed, to the
railroad grade and hills. The water raised
in the houses nt Farmdale, seven miles east,
to a depth of three feet, and many people
narrowly escaped drowning. Herds ot cows,
horses and hogs were swept away. Crops
throughout a large tract of the valley are
utterly ruined.
In Copperas creek valley, just across the
line in Fulton county, a family named Gray
lived in a cabin. When the flood left the

HEALING CONSERVATIVE WOUNDS.
A Caucus of Premier Abbott and Tils Up
holders at Ottawa.
Ottawa, Ont., June 18. A caucus of
Conservative members of both the Senate
and the House of Commons was held to-day.
Its main object was the introduction of
Premier Abbott to the newly elected mem
bers and such others of the party as had not
made his acquaintance, and to talk over
political aflairs generally. The Premier
was well received and his inaugural address
was again and again interrupted by warm
applause.
The meeting lasted for nearly ten "hours,
but was purely informal, being given up to
speeches of congratulation and exhortation
to sink personal feeling and minor points in
the interests of the party as a whole, noth
ing apt to provoke a controversy was
broached, even the leadership of the House
of Commons not being mentioned. All the
Ministers were present except Mr. Chapleau,
who is still confined to his room.

SPEUTO BY ILLfflOIS.
A Bitter Fight in the American
Mechanics' National Council
ON A PROPOSED CHANGE OP NAME.
Attack on a Pittsburg Organ Resented By
Keystone Delegates.
A MAJORITY OP 24 FOR THE CHANGE
rSriCIAt TELECBAJt TO TOE DISPATCH.
Cleveland, June 18. The looked-for
fight in the National Council of the Jr. O.
TJ. A. M. came to-day with all the fierce
ness that could be combined by the ag
gressive representatives. As predicted in
to-day's DISPATCH, the Illinois delegates
presented a resolution for a change of the
name of the organization. But their orig
inal intention to have the change made
final on the floor of the National Council,
without submitting it to a vote of the mem
bership at large, was modified so as to allow
the action of the national body to be sub
mitted to the councils for approval or dis
approval. It was this resolution that created the dis
turbance, which lasted a good part of the
day. If Pennsylvania had stood solidly
together it would have been able to carry or
defeat the measure as it chose, but what
made the fight more interesting was the fact
that about a third of the Keystone dele
gates were opposed to the change this year.
They were all anxious to see the change, but
they thought by letting the matter rest a
year it could be taken with less risk of a
third successive defeat. Quite a number of
representatives who had gone into the con
vention with their minds made up to vote
against the change, changed their vote after
the discussion had taken place.
Attack on a Pittsburg Organ.
This change of mind was brought through
an attack made on the publishers of the
Aineritan, the organ of the organization
printed in Pittsburg. During the canvass
of the last vote on the proposed change of
name, there was a heated discussion among
the various councils and in the periodicals
of the order by those interested in both
sides of the vote. The American invited a,
free discussion in its columns by the mem-'
bers, and II. "V. Buscr, of Philadelphia,
charged the publishers to-day with ignoring
communications sent to th'em opposed to
the change, while every isbue Was nlled up
with matteriavoring the proposition.
Mr. Buser opposed the resolution vigor
ously and applied some severe language to
the Pittsburg journal. He was called to
task by D. G. Evans, of Pittsburg, who is
interested in the American, and who
ciainu'a mat. evcryining ever sent them was
published. A war of words then ensued for
several minutes between the Pittsburg and
Philadelphia repretentatives, which only
ended by the National Councilor enforcing
a Tom Iteed rule on both of them.
The resolution presented by the Illinois
representatives passed by a majority of 24,
and, as the matter stands, if this action is
approved by the councils, after July 1, 1892,
the order will be known as the Order of
United Americans.
Taking Sides on the Question.
In the discussion on the matter, John "W.
Calver, of Philadelphia, leagued withAV.
H. Buser in opposing the measure, while
the Pittsburg delegates and Dr. Cooper,
from Texas, took side with the Illinois and
New Jerseypeople in supporting it. State
Councilor Collins, Past State Councilor
Ayiiitv aim u jiuiuuci ui uuicr jreuiisyi-
vania delegates believe the action will "be
indorsed, as it only requires a majority vote
to indorse the action of the National Council.
Mr. Buscr says he will stump Pennsylvania
in opposition to it. The vote the last time
was 4,637 against the change, and he says
Pennsylvania will give a larger majority
than that against it.
Fred J. Shaler said to-night that the reso
lution could have passed without referring
the matter to subordinate councils, but he
was well aware what a disruption it would
have caused, and he preferred giving the
membership a chance to say first, last and
all the time whether they wanted a change
or not.
The plan emanating from the Deputy
State Council of Pittsburg, relative to the
creation of a fund for the employment of a
National organizer, was also adopted with
some modifications. Instead of providing
for a tax of 1 cent a month per member, it
calls for 6 cents a vear, payahle semi-annually
from the treasuries of subordinate
councils; and instead of employing three
organizers, but one will be engaged for the
first year nt a salary of 52,500. he to be se
lected by and work under the direction of
the National Board of Officers.
American Defense Fund Defeated.
The scheme to appropriate funds to the
American Defense Association in Philadel
phia failed, because the latter organization
was inclined too much to politics. Tn this
respect the following extract from Deputy
National Councilor Shaler's report sub
mitted from Chicago is interesting:
"The permission granted by this Na
tional Council to our members to enter
politics was accepted by us, and through
the influence of our members a satisfactory
organization of all patriotic orders was
effected, known as the Citizens' Committee
of One Hundred, and we feel that the de
termined stand taken bv the Jr. O. TJ. A.
M. in the fall elections of 1890 did much to
bring our order favorably before the public
as an organization for the protection of our
public schools.
"Since that time, however, the organiza
tion known as the Citizens' Committee of
One Hundred has had occasion to depart
from its original intention of creating a
public sentiment in favor of American in
stitutions; was merged into a political party
with their own candidates, and for reasons
consistent with the principles of our order,
the State Board of Officers has withdrawn
the representatives.
Standing by the Fublic Schools.
"The educational question in the State of
Illinois is one that has opened the eyes of
many poople disinclined to believe the
existence of any organization whose object
was to undermine our public school system,
but tho attempts made by the last State
Legislature of Illinois to this undesirable end
was, in the eyes of every true American,
alarming, and it will be for this body to de
termine whether we shall allow future at
tempts of a like nature to go without a word
of protest or some counteraction on our
part"
This opened up the question as to whether
or not the organization is to be allowed to
take part in political campaigns when it is
considered that the interests of the public
school are at stake, which was practically
decided in the affirmative.
A Busy All-Night Session.
A night session is being held, and it will
be long after midnight before the National
Council adjourns. Matters are being rushed
through lively, resolutions and changes in
laws and indorsements of numerous matters
are being voted upon without debate. The
only matter that has yet received any con
sideration was a resolution presented by H. .
E, Peck, of Pittsburg, recognizing the O. '
TJ. A. M. as a uniformed rank of the Jr. O.
U. A. M. There was considerable opposi
tion to it, but jt finally went through bv a
small majority. The Daughters of Liberty
was indorsed by the adoption of the resolu
tion sent up from Pittsburg.
The matter of the American Defense As
sociation was again taken up and the organ
ization was indorsed, but the National
Council stood by its former action in refus
ing to appropriate funds for the prosecu
tion of its work. Councils have been given
the right to place a limit on the time in
which benefits shall be paid.
Among the matters yet to be disposed of are
plans of State Councilor Collins for a legis
lative committee, the subscription to the
order's journals and quite a number of
changes in the constitution and' laws of the
order. A number of the Pennsylvania del-"
egates left to-night for home, but the ma
jority will remain until morning.
SALISBURY MEETS A DEPEAT.
An Amendment to the Factory Bill Carried
Against the Ministry.
LONDON, June 18. In the House of
Commons to-day on the factory bill, the
amendment of Sydney Buxton (Liberal) to
prohibit children under 11 years of age
from working, was adopted by a vote of 202
to 18G. The Government was thus de
feated. The majority included a few Con
servative members. Mr. Buxton's amend
ment will affect from 150,000 to 200,000
children in the kingdom now employed in
manufacturing districts half timers.
The Liberals argued that the abolishing
of child labor would provide more work for
adults. Sir. J. E. Gorst explained that the
roposal had been agreed to at the Berlin
dbor Conference in order to bring Eng
land into harmony with other nations on
the only point on which she was lagging
behind, but it was distinctly understood
that the signing of the conference protocol
did not bind England's legislative action on
the subject. Mr. Morley challenged the
Government to say whether they opposed
Mr. Buxton's amendment or not, where
upon Home Secretary Matthews intimated
that the Government would not accept the
amendment.

THE WORLD'S GOLD.
Not Near Enongh to Supply the Nations,
Says a 'Frisco Man.
New York Telegram.
"The quantity of gold In the world is not
near enough to supply tho needs of the dif
ferent nations," said Alfred E. Curtis, of San
Franolso, at thj Hoffman Ilouse, "and yet
for years onn of the host paying- kinds of
mining has been suffered to remain Idle, and
all owing to the cries of a few agriculturists
who cannot seo farther than the tiDs of their
noses. When the law was passed In Cali
fornia making placer mining, where the
debris settled on tho fanning lands along
the banks of the rivers, illegal, one of the
most fruitful sources of the world's supply
was closed. Of course tho men who wore in
terested in that form of placer mining made
a light, hut they were so small in number
comparod to tho faruibrs that they wero not
in it. It cost tne flnanciorsof the world just
$12 000,000 a year in gold.
'Now the people recognize this, as is shown
by the way tho Slickens hill, to pav for all
the land hurt by the debris, has been dis
cussed in the last Congress. It will undoubt
edly pass the next Congress and go at onco
into effect. That will mean tho resumption
of work by the placer men who use machin
ery and do more than any thing else to give
us new gold."
MADE NEW BY BEER.
Dressmakers Find It Almost Indispensable
in Washing Old bilk Dresses.
New York Herald.
"Beer'ls absolutely Indispensable to our
business nowadays," said a fashionable
dressmaker the other day as she noticed my
glance of inquiry at a basketful of empty
bottles that a servant was carrying out.
"Oh, dear, no, I never drink it, nor the
girls either, with my permission; but we use
a good many bottlesful every day, neverthe
less." "How?"
"Why to wash silk in. It gives old silk a
luster and a new look almost like goods fresh
from the loom. Then, too, it gives a little
body' which lasts for a while, long enough
for our purpose anyway. At least naif my
trade is in making over dresses, and so much
better does the silk look after going through
the beering that my business is Increasing
wonderfully. It was a discovery of my own,
and it has been worth a good many thou
sand dollars to me already."

AS COLLECTOR AT PHILADELPHIA.
The Successor of Jndge Schofield Kott the
Next in Order.
MANY CANDIDATES OUT FOR TEE PLACE
rrnOM A stapp comutsroyDEST.J
Washington, June 18. Before his de
parture for the salt air of Cape May to-day"
the President brought gladness to the heart
of one Pennsy Iranian and disappointment
to two or three others who expected to hear
from him, but did not. He appointed Will
iam Henry Brooks Collector of Internal
Revenue for the Philadelphia district, to
succeed David Martin, who a few weeks ago
performed, for a Pennsylvania office holder,
the extraordinary feat of resigning. Mr.
Brooks was recommended by Senator Quay,
Collector Martin and othcrprominent Penn
sylvanians, and seems to be an all-round
popular appointment. He casts his vote in
Germantown and is an ex-member of the
Legislature. "
It was expected that the President, previ
ous to his departure, would settle the iden
tity of the successor to Judge Glenni W.
Schofield, on the bench of the Court of
Claims, for which soft and permanent place
Second Controller Gilkeson expects to re
ceive a summons. It is assumed that the
reason for the failure to settle this latter is
that the President as yet has been unable to
decide who shall succeed Gilkeson as Sec
ond Controller.
Candidates for the Place.
There are a number of applicants for this
place, all of them gentlemen of standing
and influence, such as ex-Representative
Craig, of Brookville, Jefferson county;
Assistant Commissioner of Pensions Lin
coln, and others of similar character. It is
claimed for Pennsylvania, however, that
both the Judgeship and the Controllership
should go to Pennsylvania, as they aro now
held by citizens of that State. But the
Controllership has not been one of Pennsyl
vania's "cinches," and only went to that
State through the treachery of Senator
Sherman, who had promised Senator Quay
to back Gilkeson for a solicitorship, and
then during Quay's absence from the city
got the place for his friend Hart, and left
Gilkeson in the cold. This led to the
memorable attack on Sherman by Quay and
to the placing of Gilkeson in the Controll
er's instead of the Solicitor's office.
It is quite possible, therefore, that the
Controllership will drift away from
Pennsylvania if Judge Gilkeson succeeds
Judge Schofield in the Court of Claims,
though a vigorous attempt is being made to
keep it in the old Keystone State, as one of
these high bureau offices, when held for
years, becomes in a way the property of the
State whose citizens have filled the office, as
for instance, the office of Commissioner of
Customs, which for more than a quarter of a
century has been held by a Western
Pennsylvanian.
The Judgeship Is Safe.
At any rate, no matter where the Con
trollership goes, the seat on the bench of
the Court of 'Claims, held honorably for
long years by Judge Schofield, will un
doubtedly be kept in possession by Pennsyl
vania. It is probable the appointment of
Judge Schofield's successor will be made by
the President when he returns from Cape
May next week.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
William H. Brooks was elected to the Leg
islature of Pennsylvania to represent the
Twenty-first district in 1883, and by suc
cessive re-elections has served continuously
up to the present time. He was born in
Germantown May 12, 1843. He entered the
employ of the Lombard and South Street
Passenger Railway Company, of which he
is at present the Superintendent.
During his term in the Legislature he
became chiefly distinguished as the author
of the Brook s high license law, which was
first introduced in the session of 1883. This
bill was prepared with the assistance of
Lawyer Lewis D. Vail, the attorney of the
Law and Order Society. The bill failed in
the session of 1885, and was introduced at
the following session and became a law.
The prominence which he attained through
the enactment of the license law brought
him into the race for the Speakership of
the House of Representatives. His chances,
however, were greatly handicapped by the
fact that a Philadelphian had just retired
from the chair. Opposition at once de
veloped among the country members and
resulted in tne aeteat ol isrooks.
A DEFICIENCY 0E $600,000
In the Statement of the United States Treas
ury "Will bo Shown To-Day.
Washington, June 18. It is said that
the Treasurer's statement to be issued to
morrow will show a deficiency of $600,000
instead of the usual net cash balance. This
is the first time this has occurred since the
present form of statement was adopted by
Treasurer Jordan. In making this calcula
tion, however, no account is taken of the
$22,000,000 on deposit in national banks
and the 520,000,000 fractional silver in
the Treasury. The expenditures so far this
month have been $8,188,824 in excess of the
entire revenues of the Government during
the same period, amounting to 518,221,852.
These were exceeded by the pension pay
ments alone, which amounted to $18,312,
155. Treasury officials say that the expenditures
during the remainder of the month will be
light, and that the receipts will be suffi
ciently heavy to overcome the present ex
cess of expenditures and leave a small sur
plus for the month. These same officials
say that the Treasurer's statement to-morrow
will not include the receipts during the
past two days, and that if it did an actual
surplus of 52,000,000 would be shown in
stead of an apparent deficiency.
DESPERATE MEASURES IN CHILE.
Balmaceda to Be Authorized to Levy s
Forced Loan for War Fnrposes.
Washington, June 18. Official mails
from Chile, received here, bring exciting
news from that Republic The House of
Deputies has passed a bill authorizing the
President to levy a forced loan of $20,000,
000 to carry on the war. The measure has
not yet passed the Senate, however.
ITJnder an order from the executive, car
riages are not permitted to drive on the
streets of Santiago after midnight, under a
penalty of $50 for the first offense and $200
lor the second. A decree has also been
issued prohibiting groups of more than
three persons standing together in the
streets, squares or public places of Santiago.
By another decree all the theaters of San
tiago are closed until further notice. Un
der the authority of Congress all the gold
and silver in the treasnry of Chile, com
posing what is known as the metallic re
serve, was sold at auction on the 13th of
May.

BAEDSLEY'S DEFEXSE
The Statement He Is Going to Make
Before Being Sentenced
IS AT LAST ALMOST COMPLETED.
He Claims to Be Xo Thief and Blames the
Keystone Bank.
EXPLADiIXG WHERE THE 3I0EX WEST
Philadelphia, June 18. The state
ment ex-Treasurer Rardslcy intends to
make is now practically completed. The
statement will not go into detail to any
great extent, and will not be of much as
sistance to the flavor's experts, who are
now trying to trace checks and find what
became of the money, but it will be of
great interest as showing what John Bards
ley thinks of himself.
In the first place Bardsley does not think
he is a thief. He will stoutlv deny any in
tentional dishonesty. lie will admit, as he
has admitted in court, that he violated the
letter of the law in two particulars first, by
loaning the public funds for profit, and sec
ond, by depositing in the Keystone
Bank and elsewhere money be
yond the limit fixed by the
City Councils. This, he will assert, was the
beginning and the end of his offending; As
to the way the money was lost, Bardsley
will throw the whole responsibility upon
the Keystone Bank. Xovr, this is very im
portant. There arc two possible theories about
Bardsley's defalcation. Either he stole the
public iunds deliberately and outright, or
they were lost or stolen in the bank alter he
had deposited them there. He says he de
posited there in good faith the missing
JMo.OOO of due bills, and that is all he
knows about them.
The Position ofllarilsley.
The total amount of los to the publio
funds through Bardsley's transactions has
been variously figured here at from l,S0O,
000 to ?2,200,000. Bardsley will take the
position that it is only 51,l15,000, and that
part of this is recoverable. The way other
and erroneous sttements are arrived
at he will then proceed to explain thus:
He will say that he became aware
a long time ago of the fact that the public
money which he had deposited in
the Keystone Bank had been lost there.
As he had technically violated the law
in making the deposit he could not say any
thing publically about the matter. He
therefore took money from other funds to
meet the payments coming due from tho
funds which had been lost. Each payment
thus taken has been added to the original
loss until the alleged total of 52,200,000 is
reached; but, as a matter of fact, the actual
loss is onlv 59-13,000, for the original due
bills and $100,000 for another matter.
This other matter came about from his
efforts to recover himself when he found
that the bank had swallowed up the il4.",
000, and is represented by the 5100,000 w orth
ot "West Chieago street car stock which wa3
discovered the other day. He bought thi3
stock with the public funds with the expec
tation that its rise in value would enable
him to restore some of the missing money
and meet some of the payments as they came
due. This expectation was realized in part.
A Question to He Kalsed.
As to the time when he discovered tho
"shortage in the bank, that is not very clear,
but the fact that he bought the street car
stock a year ago is some indication. It will
raise a question whether some of the city
funds were not involved in the Lucas de
falcation in the bank. In that case Bardsley
must have known about it very soon after v
he came into office.
There is just a remote possibility that he
knew of it before, and that explains the evi
dence which District Attorney Graham
found, that Bardsley had planned to loan out
the public monev'before he became City
Treasurer. Tlii", 7iowever, is only specula
tion. There will be nothing in Bardaley'i
statement that will throw light on that
point. He will content himself with saying
that when his December and January pay
ments came due last year he was obliged,
on account of the losses in the bank, to
draw money from other funds to meet
them.
After Bardsley has read his statement
next Tuesday he will be sentenced and
taken to the penitentiary to begin his term
of imprisonment.
