MOXEY GlYEN TO BAEDSLEI ILLEGALLY Habrisbueo, Oct 14. Following is the report of the minority committee that has been investigating the State Treasury and Auditor General's department: To His Excellency. Robert E. Pattlson. GoTcrnor of lite Commonwealth of lenns U-anta: Sik: The undersigned, members of the joint committee appointed in pursuance of a resolution of January 26, 1891, the duties of vrh ch were extended and enlarged by the resolution of May 27, 1891, to investi gate the methods of conducting the busi ness of the State Treasury and department of the Auditor General, dissent from the report of the majority of said committee, and beg leave to report that said committee has not, in their judgment, concluded its labors; and more especially because of the abrupt manner in which the proceedines have been discontinued, or temporarilv, if riot permanently aban doned. It is the opinion of the undersigned from the recent developments by the ex amination before the commi'tee that a more searching and exhaustive examina tion should be made, an examination that should not be limited in any way whatever, either as to individuals or time. The conclusion of the majority of the committee that a report shall be made at this time, wa3 hastily reached and the un dersigned had no notice of the fact until the rloe of the meeting of the committee early Tuesday morning. The volume of testi mony already taken, most of which was in our possession Cut a few hours, will require a reasonable time in order to make a satis factory aualyis of the same, and to deduct fair, reasonable and proper conclusions therefrom. RATirr.K IXDECEKT HASTE. It is also proper to invite your attention to the fact that while the committee has been in existence since January 2l, 1891, but comparativelv few meetings have been held, because of long and unnecessary ad journment'!; and that the most important "fact"; developed have only been brought out fince the reconvening of the committee after the adjournment of the .Legislature, In the judgment of the undersigners it is an exhibition of indecent haste, and the con clusions reached must be necessarily such as to entitle them to little might, conclu sions which also seek to pass upon the offi cial conduct of Thomas McCamant and Henry K. Boycr, conclusions which are not warranted by "the resolutions under which this committee are actinc. It is not within the scope of the powers or duties delegated to this committee to pass npon the guilt or innocence of any one now under investigation. The Senate of Pennsylvania in extraordinarv session is the grand inquest upon that subject; but as the majority report touches upon that sub ject we deem it our duty to call Your Ex cellency's attention to that wbich the evi dence discloses, so thit you may take such official action as you may drem proper in the premises. kefokm is needed. That the methods of conducting the busi ness of the two offices under investigation should be reformed, there can be no doubt, and c heartilv coincide with all that is suegested upon the subject by the majority of this committee; but we dissent from their conclusion of facts gathered from the evi dence so far as regards the official conduct of Henry K. Boycr and Thomas McCamant, and beg leave to call attention to the fact that during the last few sittings of the committee the Auditor Gener.vl and State Treasurer hac been examined, especially with refer ence to the relations ot their offices to the collections of moneys for the Commonwealth bv John Bardslev, late treasurer for the citv and county of Philadelphia. From their admissions it appears that during his entire term no effort was made by either of these officials to enforce the provisions of the act of Slav 7, 1889, requir ing quarterly payments and settlements for State moneys collected by him. He was permitted to retain in his hands enormous amounts of monev, of which he finally em bezzled more than 51,300,000. Besides this it appears from the admissions from the Auditor General that acting in conjnnction with "William Uv6cy, cashier of the State Treasurv, there was sent to John Bardsley, on December 31, 1890, f 150,000 of State money, which he was not entitled under the law to receive, and which payment to him was illegal and wholly without warrantor justification, in view of the fact that the Treasurer of Philadelphia was at that time a defaulter to the State in a large sum of money, and known to be such by both of these officials. rXAGKAJTT VIOI..ATIONS OF LAW. "We regard this act as a most flagrant vio lation of the law and of their oaths of office. It also appears by the admission of the State Treasurer that at the same time, lie also, knowing Bardsley to be in arrears to the State, procured school warrants amount ing to ?420,000 to be drawn in favor of the city of Philadelphia for the schools of that city, which he conveyed personally to John Bardsley, although the same was not due and payable at that time. The State Treasurer, who is also a mem ber of the Sinking Fund Commission, ad mits that this was done in violation of his oath ot oiucc and ot his duties as commis sioner of said fund; and that it was done for mercantile appraisements, and the collec tion of the mercantile tax, under the direc tion and control of the office of the present Auditor General, has been attended with gross inefficiency, culpable negligence, if not criminal complicity. THEY DEFIED THE LAW. It also appears that the Auditor General seeks to justify his violations of law because his predecessors in the same office had so violated it, and this notwithstanding the tact that the act of May, 1889, was passed for the express purpose of correcting such abuses. It has been totally ignored and defied both by the Auditor General and State Treasurer, all of which, together with the testimony so far taken, ii respectfully submitted, John H. Fovr, ' George "W. Skinner. In view of the fact that our colleague, Senator B. J. Monaghan, is a member of the Senate of Pennsylvania, now in extraordi nary session; 'and that he mar be called upo'n to pass upon tho facts in this case, we do not deem it proper to have his signature to this report, in which he coincides. DISPUTING A WILL. Heirs of the Witch Doctor Amann Fighting for His Wealth. HOGAN DIDN'T KILL HIS MOTHER, THE WHEAT CB0P TOO 1ABGE. Its Abundance In tho Northwest Proves Its Almost Complete ISuln. St. Paul, Oct. 14. Tho weather of the past few weeks has undone much of the good that was done by the fine weather early in the season in North Dakota. Farm ers of the Northwest will suffer losses ag gregating in the millions. The railroads had made special arrangements to handle a great crop, and the farmers considered their own plans amply sufficient, but so great was the wheat crop that, first, it was almost im possible to hire enough harvest hands to se cure the crop, and a very large part of it had to be left standing in the shock. Then it was found that the supply of threshing machines was insufficient, and that caused a delay which left fully half the crop still in the field unthreshed "when the rains came. At Jamestown. N. D.,. in the Jim river valley, rain and snow fell last night. It was "snowing to-dav, and last week there was but one lull day's wheat threshing. At Devil's Lake, in the northern part of the State, a heavy rain fell to-day, which will stop threshing several days. iJikota, N, D., reports snow and threshing stopped en tirely. Northwestern Minnesota gives about the same report. There have been only a very few days ot dry weather in lourweeks, and fanners are getting discouraged.

Attorneys Hughey & Bennett have begun proceedings in the Orphans' Court to have set aside the will of the late Dr. Peter Amann, who died on March 1 last, and whose will was filed three days later. In compliance with an ancient notion held by many people, that a testator could not abso lutely disinherit his natural heirs, the de ceased cut out his sons Nicholas and Joseph Amann and his daughter Bosanna Bechtold and his grand-daughter Charlotte Fletcher, by leaving them $1 apiece, and devising the remainder of his estate to his son Bruno Amann. The con testants claim that the old gentleman was incapable of making a will by reason of mental infirmity, and that he was unduly influenced by his son Bruno. The property devised consists of a house and lot No. 405 Cabot way, worth 53,500 or f4,000, and a deposit in the Dollar Savings Bank sup posed to be $3,500, in all some 7,000 or 58,000. The old gentleman was in his 80th year when he died, and enjoyed an extensive celebrity of a queer character. He had the reputation of being a hoodoo, or witch doctor, and there were many who be lieved him to be possessed of an occult power, by means of which he compelled witches and evil spirits to desert the minds and bodies of those they had chosen as tene ments. A girl who charged a Southside grocer two years ago with having hypno tized her, was said to have been cured by Dr. Amann. He was also accredited with the power to stop the flow of blood, whether caused by wounds or hemorrhages, and to stop the pain of burns by means of some hidden power. At one time an attempt was made by reg ular doctors to have the old man prevented from practicing as a physician, but it was futile, and onlv added zeal to the faith of his patients. The Court is asked to send the case to the Common Pleas to be tried by a jury. SDPEEHE COURT CASES. court found that the charter rights of the defendant company allowed them certain privileges for an extension of their lines, and that to cross diagonally at the point would not invade the present rights of the plaintiff company, An order was made giving the Braddock Company the right to cross tho tracks of the plaintiffs to connect with their own, the defendant's line.

Arguments In Eight of Them Heard by the Judges Yesterday. The Supreme Court yesterday concluded the list of this week. Eight cases were ar gued. An argument was heard on the ap peal of Jennings, Beale & Co., Limited, et al., from the Common Pleas of Armstrong county. The case was an action brought by the company to remove J. G. Beale, who was a stockholder, from the position of Su perintendent of the works. They claimed lie was there by agreement, and he asserted he held the position by a copartnership agreement. An argument was heard in the case of Teboy & Klingensmlth vs. Kirkpatrick & Co., appealed by the defendants from the Common Pleas of Armstrong county. The suit was on a mechanic's lien. An argnment was heard on the appeal of J. M. Forster from the decree of the Com mon Pleas of Armstrong county, appoint ing a receiver for and dissolving the Kit tanning Insurance Company. An argument Vas heard on an appeal from the Quarter Sessions of Armstrong county in the matter of the division of Valley township and the erection of a new township. . The case of theFreeport Bank vs Martin Egan et al trustees, appealed by the plain tiff from the Common Pleas of Armstroug county was argued. The suit was on a note. An argnment was heard in the case of the executors of J. Besswick, Jr., against the Northwestern Coal and Iron Company, an action in ejectment, appealed by the de fendent from the Common Pleas 6f Mercer county. The" case of Mrs. Jessie R. Morrison vs Simon Trnby, Jr., an action on a contract appealed by' the defendent from the Com mon Pleas of Armstrong county, was argued. An argnment was heard in the case of Kittanning township vs Madison town ship appealed by the plaintiff from the Quarter Sessions of Armstrong county. The suit was to determine which township should pay for the support of a pauper. No Evidence to Show That They Murdered Mrs. Nancy Hogan. The trial on a charge of murder against John and Lucy Hogan was of short dura tion yesterday, the defendants being ac quitted within an hour after the cjse opened. The case was tried before Judge Ewing. The couple are colored and are husband and wife. During a quarrel among themselves Mrs. Nancy Hogan, the mother of John and the mother-in-law of Lucy, attempted to separate them. In the melee she was knocked down and severely injured, and was later sent to a hospital, where she died. While at the hospital she said that Lucy had kicked her in the stomach, and, on tne Coroner's inquest being held, tho de fendants were charged with her death. At the trial yesterday the evidence came from witnesses to whom the deceased made the declaration , but nobody had seen tho act, and no additional evidence wok ad duced by the Commonwealth. The defense put two doctors on the stand, who testified to attending the woman, and both said her death was caused directly by a severe cold. District Attorney Burleigh thereupon said he would not proceed in the case further, and he would agree to a verdict of acquittal. The jury so found, and the defendants were discharged. The grand jury had found a true bill against them, and the case had to be put on trial. AFTER A COOL 825,000. Sin. Adah 8.

TTFSu REAL ESTATE SAVINGS BANK, LEU. the express purpose of evading the law reg ulating the State treasury and the" sinking fund, of which fact the" Auditor General had knowledge, and so testified. It appears that none of this money was paid by Bardslev into the treasury of the city of Philadelphia, and all of tlie same was embezzled and stolen, which loss to said city was wholly due to the unlawful action of the State Treasurer in pavings these moneys to John Bardsley; and it is no justi fication of their conduct because the loss of f420,000 may fall upon the city and not :ipon the State (as stated in the majority leport) that said unlawful payment was ina'le. 1SESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS. The citizens of Philadelphia are a part of this Commonwealth, and any conduct on the j art of an official which jeopardizes their rights ana interests is not only reprehensi ble, but clearly an act of malfeasance. Had the laws governing these two departments beca faithfully executed by the present in cumbents, no material loss could or would have occurred. In answer to that portion of the majority report which says: "That both the Au ditor General and State Treasurer testified that these sums of money were withheld by said John Bardsley "against their re peated protests; and that they were conrtantly urging him "by letter and in personal Interviews, to pay over the mms for which he was in arrears," a most complete answer to this allegation is found in the letter of Treasurer Boyer to John Bardslev, under dute of December 22, 1890, in which that official writes: "I find that 1 can get along without any monev this month from you," yet, at that time, John Bardsley owed the State nearly 51,500,000.

In the Orphans' Court yesterday Judge Hawkins received a claim against the es tate of the late Margaret Douelass. of Mc- KeesporL The claim is made by W. L. Douglass. The father of Miss Douglass died in 1874. Under his will she received nothing. W. L. Douglass, it is claimed, agreed to advance tho money to pay the ex pense of contesting the will, and was to re ceive one-fourth the estate it the contest succeeded. The will was contested and set aside, and Miss Douglass received one-half of the estate, the other half going to J. Edward Myers, her nephew, and a grandson of her father. The property was then worth 520,000. It has since enhanced in value, and is now worth at least fiv,e times as much. Miss Douglass was murdered, and her nephew, J. Edward Myers, who is her sole heir and the owner of the whole estate, is serving a term of 12 years in the peni tentiary for her murder. W. L. Douglass asserts he was never paid as per agreement, and now wants one-fourth of the estate. Judge Hawkins stated that in case Doug lass' claim was sus.ained he could only re cover the value of one-fourth the estate at the time tlie will was set aside, possibly with 6 per cent interest until now. but li could not claim a fourth of the estate at its present value. The claim was held under advisement. Wants to Have the Pipe Burled. Attorney J. S. Hunter yesterday filed a bill in equity in behalf of D. S. Caruthers against the Philadelphia Company. It is alleged that the company in obtaining the right of way to lay their pipe line through the defendant's farm in Patton township, agreed to lay it 38 inches below the surface. They practically laid it on the surface of the ground, it is alleged, preventing its use for agricultural purposes. A decree is now asked for to compel the company to relay its pipe and comply with the terms of the agreement. Mrs. McNeil Doesn't Get Her Child. A hearing was had before Judge Kennedy yesterday in the habeas corpus proceedings brought by Mrs. Mary Nelson to recover from William McNeil her 4-year-old adopted daughter. The child was taken from her by the Anti-Cruelty Society on charges of neglect and given to McNeil,- the child's uncle. After hearing a portion of the testimony, Judge Kennedy said the child was best off with her uncle, and manded her to his care. re- Another Murder Trial To-Day, Michael Schaffer will be put on trial to day for the murder of Patrice Finan at a picnic t Kinney's Grove.

Fisher against the Monongahela Connecting Railroad Com pany, in which a verdict was given for the defendant The case has already been tried three times and has once been to the Su preme Court At the lost trial of the case before Judge Stowe, a new side to the mat ter was'eliclted, which determined the suit in favor of the railroad company. The case was for damages for injuries received by Fisher, who was struck by a train while crossing the track. He had testified that before crossing he had "stopped, looked and listened.,? At the last trial of the case it was brought out for the first time that when he "stopped, looked and listened," he was on the side track where his view was obstructed by cars sianuiug uu iue eiaing ana not out where he haa a clear view along the track. This gave the matter a "contributory negli gence' phase, and the verdict was against Sim. Allowed to Cross Other Tracks.

In 1 874, there were no package teas. All teas were sold in bulk. ( At that time fj we invented the ages, now so fa miliar to the pub lic, and packed them with the best and purest drinking teas we could buy in China. These package teas met with great opposition from the trade, and we were laughed at. ( We lost money. Then we decided to explain the good ness of the tea to the public by advertising it in our city, where we had been known so long. The public tried them on the faith of our word, and He-No Tea be came a great local success. Its fame and trade then ex tended to other cities. As soon as the teaimen dis covered our success, they who had ridiculed us the most, be gan to imitate He-No Tea. They were blind, they thought the package sold the tea, and they put inferior teas in packages so like He-No, that an old lady without her specs could not tell one from the other, thus casting dis credit on all package teas. Many grocers gave them up, and spoke against He-No to their customers. Still He-No kept steadily on, fighting misrepresenta tions, till by its own goodness it won phenomenal success in St. Louis, New Orleans, and other cities remote from its starting point, Baltimore. At every Exposition, where it was shown, it received the highest awards. Experience teaches that when the people once find out for themselves the qualities of He-No, its permanent success is assured.
