Thn ninntl- int enumerated above have
been omitted on account of the absence of
receipt stubs which were burned in the
garbage furnace at tho market house.
HASTINGS 31AKES A STATEMENT.
Market Clerk David Hastings was Inter
viewed last night, and denied that there
was any crookedness. Said he: "I have
held tnat position for about 20 years. The
shortages thev show would make It appear
that I have ta"l:cn about $1,500 a year. 1 am
not much better oil than when I
went into the office. Then I owned
mv home on Toplar tret. It is now
worth from $2,500 to $3,000. That Is all the
property that 1 own in the world. Neither
aolonn any bonds or stocks. The way
they make that sbortage Is that, they count
up fent for tho pat 18 years for all the stalls
in the market. I have known as many as 22
butchers' stalls to be vacant at one time.
Then for years before the center was roofed
only the outside stills were in use the year
round. Lots of them were not rented so It
1 easy to ilgure out a shortage of over $30,
000. As for tho stub receipts that were
burned it was dono by an old German who is
an assistant sweeper. I told him to dust
them and put them away, but instead he
threw them into the garbage furnace."
K.BAFT IS SHOUT 510,000.
Tho Borough ofSharpsburg is in a fever of
excitement over the shortage in tho ac
counts or Borough Treasurer Gottleib Kraft.
TnN Miortage amounts to about $10,090. for
wincn tne oorougn is inuy ecurea,
Mr. Kraft being under bond in the
sum o $20,000. Ills bondsmen are
Jonn Joyce, George Wertz.Christian Forster
and Chailes Itoithmillcr, all business men of
iSharpbburg, and amply able to make good
the loss.
The first intimation of the shortage came
on List Saturday, when Kraft confessed
Judgment to IV.'P. Totter, the Borough At
torney, in the sum of $8,000, in favor of
his bondsmen. On learning the state of
affairs Bui gcs I.loj d called a special meet
ing 01 CotmciN and had auditors appointed
and ordered that the books of the Treasurer
be handed ovsr to them at once. The bonds
men tiled a confessed judgment through
Sir. Potter for $12,UK) to await the report of
the auditors.
Burgess Lloyd a seen and he stated
there was no cause for alarm, as the borough
llnanccs were all right and us sound as
ever. He said the bondsmen were per
fectly sound and responsible, and the
deficiency would be made good. He
aid the trouble had been brought
about by Kraft's penchant for betting and
the lax system ot bookkeeping which had
been in vogue.
LOST MONEY ON DELAMATEK.
"In fact," said he, "there was no book
keeping at all of any kind, and this, coupled
w ith the fact that Sharpsburg is under a
special act whereby the treasurer of the
borough is also authorized to act as tax col
lector, has brought about a very compli
cated state of affairs. Kraft tas to
tally incompetent for the position,
and'it was this ignorance nnd carelessness
rather than any criminality on his part that
has caused the trouble. 1 opened up a set
of book for him and Parted the headings,
but 1 find that this system was never pur
sued. He lost a large sum .or money on the
Dela-nater deleat, and e or since that time
h-is been in difficulties, but was enabled to
tide along by tho aid of friends
until last week, ihen matters
wore precipitated by a warrant
for$l,SC2 50 to pay interest on water bonds
drawn on the Philadelphia Safe Trust
and Deposit Company, and returned to the
A. A M. Bank of this city, when it was at
once protested. 3Ir. Kraft endeavored to
negotiate a loan of $5,000 last week from the
.Metropolitan Bank, but was unsuccessful,
and, recognizing the seriousness of his
position and desiring to make all amends
in his power, threw up his hands nnd
took the onlv wise ana honorable course
loft him."
HE WILL NOT UK ritCSECUTED.
Burgess Lloyd said that he did not think
any criminal proceedings would eusue. He
had becu requested by certain persons to
bring action, but having taken every step
necessary 10 secure ine ireiisury lie inougnt
his duty as a public officer ended there. The
bondsmen were seen, and stated that they
would not institute any proceedings against
Mr. Kraft, as they had agreed
v ith him to make up the deficit and allow
Lim time to reimburse them. There seems
to be a tende .c on all sides to treat the
misguided Treasurer leniently, although an
attorney said last night lie would undoubt
edlj bo liable for embezzlement if his
bondsmen desireato prosecute. Mr. Kraft
was seen last night and admitted
everything. Ho said that the fig
ures as given above were, to the
best of his knowledge. about
correct. He said that ho had lost several
thousand dollars prior to the Delamater
election, and bopimr to recover this loss he
lind dropped about $5,000 more on Delama
ter, as he had a sure tip," and from this he
dates his downfall. Kraft said he had had
11 talk with his bondsmen, and that they
w ould let him don 11 easy He said lie would
continue in his butchering business, and
would repay them every dollar.
KraTt V liabilities amount to between $25 000
and $30,oy0, and his us-ots about $1S 003. He
lud personal paper out to the amount of
about $7,XK in various amounts, some of
which was by F. C. Pilgrim, $2,00.): Peter
tVertz, $1,000. C. Bellman, $b0G; George Beck,
$100, and sct oral otlierb
At tho meeting of councils last
night the resignation of Mr. Kraft
was accepted, and Georgo II. Wan
ner was elected to serve the remain
der of the term. He was directed to file a
bond for $20,000, and keep the accounts In
such a nay that they eould bo readily ex
amined b3" the Burgees or Councllmnnlc
Committee. He is to deposit in the Metro
politan uanK, anu tne uaiiK is to ue required
to furnish sucuilty in the sum of $10,000.
Mr. Kraft's bondsmen stated that they
could not immediately secure thomonev nec
essary to pay off the water bond interestand
other bills which had .been presented to
councils, and they were given thirtv davs to
m.ikc good the deficit, andMr.Potternaving
arranged the matter a wairaut was drawn
on tho Monongahcla National Bank of Pitts
burg for $6,000 the sum necessary to pay off
all pressing bills.
liack Taxes Drifting In.
5ome$C,000 back tax owing the county,
sonio of it for two years, has lately been cov
ered Into the Couuty Treasury, and is now
coming in at the rate of ?soo to $1,000 a
month. No matter whether you nro delin
quent or nbcther it be some former owner
of tho property you possess, you had better
ftiryourhtumps, for after tho 13th of this
month wriN of sciro facias will be issued.
The County Commissioners appear to be in
earnest. Ijih spring some people thought
the demand was a bluff.

making an official visit to the office of
Arnold Schneider, the Consular agent of
Belgium, where he was given much valua
ble information concerning the location of I
firms he desired to visit, he began his tour,
whic'i will continue the remainder of the
week.
His first call was at the office of George
"Wcstinghouse. Mr. "Westinghousc is ab
sent from the city, but "W. D. Uptegraph
took great pleasure in giving the distin
guished visitor the information he desired.
TLe airbrake works at "Wilmerding were
first inspected, then the Westinghouse
Electric Company's plant was visited. The
Bellevernon gas field was also inspected,
and Mr. Stewart found much, in it of inter

Some of the Changes Caused by the laical
Financial Ruptures.
W. E. Schroertz, President of the Chamber
of Commerce; resigned yesterday and his
resignation was accepted. Reuben Miller,
tho Vice President, also resigned, but the
Chamber refused to relieve him of the re
sponsibility. It was the first meeting fol
lowing the summer vacation. The first busi
ness was the reading of the letter of resig
nation from Schmertz. He said he made it
on account of ill-health.
Hon. Morrison Foster bitterly opposed the
accepting of the resignation because
Schmertz's circumstances were different
from what they had been. J. B. Scott, how
ever, argued that Schmertz was in poor
health, and as there was little cbanco of a
speedy lecovery tho resignation ought to
be accepted. He then offered tho following
resolution:
"Resolved, That this Chamber accept the
resignation of President Schmertz with re
gret, and we sincerely wish him a speedy
restoration to health."
John A. Dravo spoke in favor of the reso
lution and it was adopted, and George A.
Kelly was elected President,

Bringing Out Winter Garments.
The first indication of approaching winter
is the disappeuaance of summer garmonts.
Only at rare intervals were straw hats ana
warm-w eather suits tobe seen on the streets
yesterday. The coolness of the past few
days made summer comforts give way to
more substantial attire and the change is
very noticeable on the streets. The tem
perature at pi esent is somewhat below the
average for this time of year. Yesterday the
highest point the mercury reached was 73
and tho lowest 81. One vear ago the highest

tired at the 200 yard target struck and
glanced, hitting the 500 yard target: Cahlll
naturally thought the shot had been flred at
the 500 yard target, and jumped out to mark
it off Just as his friend Fark fired at tho 500

his Are, but he threw his gun up. far enough
to only wound Cahlll, else ho would have
been instantly killed. As lt was, the ball
laid tho side of his face open from his jaw
bone nearly to his ear. No bones were

COULDN'T BEGAIH HIS WITS.
Mrs. Bcmotch Befases to Give Up the
Second Lovo for the First.
Mrs. Fredrica Remosch was before Alder
man Hartman last ovening to answer a
charge ot bigamy preferred against her by
Gottleib Bemosch, her husband. Tho story
In the-case is that Mrs. Bemosch left her
husband about threo years ago, to livo with
another man, Joseph Heiaelmelr. Bemosch
lost all trace of HU wife when she left, and
about two weeks ago he heard she was liv
ing with Hcisolmeir in Elizabeth, Ho then
went before Alderman Hartman and made
an information against her, and also entered
one against Heiselmoir, accusing him of
immorality, he having beard that Heisel
meir lett a wife and family to live with Mrs.
Bemosch. At the hearing before Alderman
Hartmau last evening, llcmosch endeavored
to persuade his wife to live with him again,
onliis farm, located In Snowdcn tounsblp.
which, it is said, he bought while they were
apart. Mrs. Remosch stoutly refused to go
back to tier old love, and was willing to let
her husband .No. 1 enter divorce proceed
ings, she said, if he would withdraw the
charge of bigamy. Remosch agreed to do
this. The costs of the suit were paid, and
Attorney T. II. Davis was Instructed to In
stitute a divorco suit.
The charge of immorality against Helsel
meir had to be drouoed. as it develoDed
dining the discussion over tho bigamy case
that Heiselmeir was an unmarried man.
Remosch had also preferred a charge of
felonious pointing of firearms against his
ti ife, but this case had to be dismissed also,
as he had no witnesses to prove his allega
tions, which wore to the effect that his wife
went to his house and tlneatened his life,
while pointing a revolver at him, If he did
not withdraw the information against
Heiselmeir.

MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTBJAL ITEMS
Miss Mary A. O'Keillythe Deputy State
Factory Inspector, who has been here for a
week looking
into the condi
tion of the facto
ries and work
shops and the
people who are
employed in
them, has been
identified with
industrial affairs
for quite anum-
ber of years.
SS Previous to her
S'jiJ connection with
j jj them, however,
she was engaged
in woolen and
cotton mills for
12 years, and has, therefore, a thorough and
distinct knowledge of factory life and all
that goes to make it pleasant or disagreea
able, as the case may be. She entered pub
lic life first in 1882 by assuming the presi
dency of an organization composed of 700
women.
Her rare ability and wise judgment in
this position won for her the respect and
admiration of her associates and a determin
ation on the part of her superiors to ex
tend her influence and reward her for the
labors she had already performed.
. POSITIONS OF TKUST FILLED.
In 1887 she was promoted to the Secre
taryship 'of the women'slepartment of the
Knights of Labor, whe9 she continued in
faithful servici until February 1, 1S9L In
tho interim, however, she was elected
Worthy Foreman of D. A. 1, and was the
only woman who ever held that position.
She was also an office.' in tho United Labor
League, of Philadelphia, and was a delegate
to two sessions of the General As
sembly, K. of L. Since her appoint
ment to the present position, which
occurred last February, Miss O'Reilly
has covered a great deal of territory
ana Das enectca manyenanges. iierown
practical knowledge of the mannir in which
the majority' of working women and chil
dren are treated is of great value to her in
the work. Among tho most important re
forms expected are the enlorcement of tho
noonday meal time, which the law defines

Miss O'Reilly has the distinction of having
provided many thoughts and suggestions,
which were incorporated in tho present
factory law. She was associated with Mrs.
L. M. Barry, now Mrs. O. R. Lake, of St.
Louis, and w ell known in labor circles, at
the time Mis. Barry was a general officer
in the K. of L. Mrs. Barry furnished
Senator Hines, who was also a member of
the older, w,ith the ideas and neces
sary provisions for such a bill. Senator
Hines introduced the bill in 1839, and it
passed.
THE FIRST 'WOMEN DEPUTIES.
The Pennsylvania factory law was the
first to accept women as deputies with its
inception, aud it was no doubt considered
highly proper, and in perlect accord with
the fitness of things that one who had been
so closely iiidentified with tne creation of
the bill, should be thus recognized. While
other States employ women as deputies, it
was not until alter sometime and experi
ence that the need of-nomeu forced Itself
upon them.
Miss O'Reilly is a very pleasant and affa
ble lady, highly educated and of a courteous
disposition and is a fluent conversationalist.
Her work at home, where she is associated
with three other inspectors, is connned
chiefly to mercantile and textile factories,
of which theieare many in Philadelphia
employing as many as 30j women and chil
dren, the latterrangtng 110m 12 to IS years of
age. Miss O'Reilly has scarcely made a
sufficient investigation of the conditions of
the working women and children hereto
make a comparison with those at home But
she admits tuat it is something surprising to
her to find w onion working about iron uud
w ire mills and nut and bolt works.
Tho other inspectors in the work with
MUs O'Reilly are Mrs. M. B. McHenry, Miss
Mary A. Wagner, W. S. Godfrey, all of Phil
adelphia, anu M. N. Baker, ot Allegheny.
Mrs. Nan Y. Leslie preceded Miss O Reilly,
aud all the Inspectors who were employed
under the act paid their own expenses until
within the past year.
A CHANGE OF LAW DEMANDED.
Miss O'Reilly may bo tho means of having
an important alteration made In the present
law. Section 4, as it stands, provides that no
person, Arm or corporation employing less
than ten women or children shall be
deemed a factory "in the meaning of
the act. Miss O'Reilly says that many
employers evade the law by limiting
their forces to nine persons, when they
really should have from 10 to 12. In some
cases when firms require a larger number
and desire to evade tho law they divide
their business, one member of the firm em
ploying eight or nine people in one building
and another so many moro in an adjoining
building. Miss O'Reilly gives her views of
tno matter uy saying tnat two or tnree
women employed in the fourth story of a
building are entitled to tho same protection
and accommodations as 25 or 50 are.
Miss O'Reilly rested yesterday, It being
Labor Day, but will continue uer Inspec
tions this morning, accompanied by Mr.
Baker.
Opening of the Sloyd System School.
The new Sloyd Industrial School was form

2tt numbered cards in a box with enough
blank ones to make a card for each boy. and
then had a drawing for membership in the
classes. Other classes will be selected this
week.
"Louis Arlington In tho City.
Louis Arrington, President of tho Green
Glass Bottle Blowers's League, arrived in

Mr. Arrington has a constitutional objection
to exchanging the time of day with news

the League President is here to meet Messrs.
Smith and Dillon, of the Flints' organiza

so frequently mentioned.

VIEWS OF MR. HATCH.
Farmers' Alliance Men In Missouri Will
Tote With Their Bespective Parties In
1892 He Scores Pennsylvania for Per
mitting So Much Political Corruption.
Hon. "W". H. Hatch, of Hannibal, Mo.,
came into town last evening and put up
over night at the Anderson. He had been
visiting relatives in the eastern part of the
State, but having contracted a cold in re
turning decided to wait for an early train
this morning, in preference to traveling all
night.'
Congressman Hatch said that the political
air of Missouri was quiescent and would so
remain until next spring, when the cam
paign opened. They had no officers to elect
this year, nnd were more interested In
watching their neighbors, especially Iowa.
"The Farmers' Alliance," said Mr. Hatch,
"has an organization in every county in
Missouri, and has an undeniable strength.
The question Is whether that strength will
be exerted solidly in a political struggle. I
do not think it will. The majority of the
momDerswere Democrats before the Alli
ance came to bo known as the Third party.
Wbon the farmers entered into the Alliance
they did so without a thought of its ulti
mately becoming a political party, and it
will be found that in 1892 the Democratic
members will vote with their party just as
the Republican element will with theirs.
The position of both parties, relatively to
numbers, will not undergo any change; Re
publicans will gain as much from tho Demo
crats as the latter will from tho former.
"It is regarded with astonishment in the
West," continued tho Missouri Congress
man, "that such a condition of political cor
ruption us appears to exist in Pennsylvania
should be permitted to continue. A State
with the historical record of Pennsylvania,
which at one time was regarded as tho key
stone of the political structure, and whose
vote x as decisive In national conteits, now
appears before the country as alllicted with
nlepiosyof corruption which is simply as
tounding. To me it is surprising that such
a state of affairs is allowed to exist. In the
West tho people would soon roctifv any
thing or tho kind. Office seekers and "hold
ers In Missouri aro subject to scrutiny that
makes wrong doing impossible The peo
plo know the men they place in office, being
very careful in selecting them, and the re
sult is that we in Missouri aro never
troubled by such revelations as seem to
have become customary with you."
Congressman Hatch thinks that it is too
early to talk about men for '92. Many
changes may yet ocour between now and
theconVention. Ho says that were it not
for ills silver letter Cleveland would cor
talnly have had the nomination from Mis
souri. He thinks Campbell ii a good organ
izer and a keen fighter, nnd will stand a
good cnance 01 winning in unio.
A Walking Fashion Plate.
Aurelels S. Saarp is in town once more and

HOW THEY PUT IK TflELR TIME.
The First Holiday Increases the Attendance
Wonderfully.
SOME OP THE PRINCIPAL EXHIBITS
Yesterday was the first children's day at
the Exposition. All the pupils of the
Southsidc schools and all those of the
Central High School were privileged to be
present, and most of them went. The doors
were open at 9 o'clock, and at that time the
youngsters were ready to go in, many of
them waiting outside for the doors to open.
There were considerably over 1,000 children
in the buildings during the day. .They en
joyed the sights in the Exposition, and it is
safe to say that a more appreciative set of
visitors will never be in the Exposition
during the 40 days it is to remain open.
There are notices in every direction warn
ing people not to touch, bat it was very
hard for the children to keep thcli-hands off
some of the exhibits that seemed made on
purpo3etobe touched by Infantile fingers,
i'he youngsters behaved themselves vory
well on tho whole. They were not more mis
chievous than tho average youngster is
everywhere, nnd the presence of their
teachers had a restraining effect that was
very beneficial.
It irai the desire of the management that
the children should leave at 4 in the after
noon, but It was not an easy matter to get
them out. They liked tho show so much
that they seemed willing to stay all night if
they could. They had brought their dinners
with them, so they were not hungry, save in
a few cases, where the meal had been eaten
early in the dav to avoid the trouble of car
rying the parcel around. However, the small
visitors were all gotten out at last, and then
the balls were left free for the immense
crowds that piled in for the evening enter
tainment. It was Labor Day, and being therefore a
holiday there was a larger attendance than
on any previous day this season. Mr. Cappa
excelled himself with his band. He had pre
pared a very strong programme, and the
music was a thing of delight indeed. Among
tho numbers was "A National Fantasie"
that was very stirring and harmonious. It
told of the experience of a soldier ill time of
war, and was so well arranged that it did
describe the incidents it was supposed to
illustrate.
MIXLOB & HOENE,
Pianos, Organs and Aeollans.
A visit to the "Palace of Music," 77 Fifth
avenue, will afford convincing proof of the
worth of the goods In which this house deals;
proof is given too of the very moderate
prices asked for these splendid instruments
than which nothing better could be desired.
Meiior & Hoene, not content to take the lead
in pianos alone, havo taken themselves right
to the front in the matter of organs, and as
to "Aeollans," they were tho pioneers in
that line and have the trade beyond a per
adventure. Wuat are the names of some of
these pianos? First, tile Hardman, the chiet
favorites for their phenomenal durability,
great power and fullness of tone combined
with perfect action; following these aro the
delicious Krakauers, which have everything
to commend them, and the A. B. Chase, the
Harrington and others, while the makes of
organs form a list in themselves. Then the
Aeollans hold a place distinctively their
own, for thoy are not only deservedly popu
lar with organists, but aro tho solution of
the puzzle of how to mako music without
the requisite musical education. Verify
these statements at 77 Fifth avenue.
LARGE AND S3IAIX.
S. Hamilton, 91 and 93 Fifth Avenue.
There seems to bo a strong vein of humor
in bringing into juxtaposition tnat huge
church organ and the smallest sized musical
instruments at the Hamilton exhibit, but it
has had the effect of showing the public how
large the scale of the Hamilton business is,
and bow he is prepared at all points to meet
tho wants and desires of his many patrons.
You can get a piano, an organ (for church or
home), a trombone, or a mouth organ, or
you can equip an orchestra or a full brass
band at pleasure. He has them all, and all
that you have to do Is to choose the particu
lar instrument you prefer and arrange
comfortably about paying for it.. Visitors
to the Exposition should take advantage of
this timo to select a piano or organ up at
the Hamilton Building.

There are two Innis engines, one for drill

Carriage Makers' Quarrel With Railroads.

against the railroads to restrain them from

a Few Hours Later.
Annie Reu, a pretty seamstress of 4363 Car
roll street, took rough-on-rats yesterday
afternoon and died soon after. She was just
20 years of aga and the cause of her suicide
is not known. Yesterday morning she in
formed her parents that she was going to a
picnic at Silver Lake Grove in the afternoon
and shortly before noon she went out saying
she would be back in time for dinner. The
noonday meal was nearly over before she
returned. Instead of sitting down to the
table sbo went upstairs, and remained so
long that her mother went up to ascertain
the cause. When Mrs. Reu entered her
room her daughter was lying on her bed
suffering great pain, and on being ques
tioned said she was sick, but would be better
in a few moments.
The mother cohld get no satisfaction from
herns to the caused her sickness. She ad
ministered various remedies until, at 3

had been operating with deadly
effect, and by tho time of the
doctor's arrival the girl was trasnlnir for
breath and nearly dead. At 7 o'clock last
night the suicide was complete. The Coro
ner was notified some time later, nnd his as
sistant clerk, David Sample, went out to in
vestigate the case. He learned tnat the
rough on rats bad been purchased from a
Penn avenue druggist four weeks ago, the
girl representing that she desired to use it
for killing vermin.
Miss Reu was a very pretty young girl and
was a hard worker at her vocation of seam
stress. Her parents are Germans, poor, but
hard working people. Who enjoy a reputa
tion for respectability which the daughter
also shared. The Coroner will hold an in
quest on the case this morning.
