If the paper had the enterprising characteristics it lays claim to it could have published the list last Sunday. j TuEHEaro business failures every day in every year, but have the peo ple of Pennsylvania noticed the y increaso of failures in the state since the Democrats (made their sweep last all? The News is trying to weaken the ledlvislon of the wards of town and, for that purpose, places in the mouths of some of the signers as excuses for appending their signatures to the peti tion. But the News gets In from the rain by admitting the necessity for dividing the wards and places tho "kicking" at the doors of others. Ex-Senator Delajiater paid a visit to Harrisburg last weok and met with a cordial receptlou. From those who met him it is learned he was hopeful and expressed himself as Jundauntedby last fall's defeat. He 'says ho will oe before the people again. We believe It. We have faith in Dela raater as a man and feel confident that in due time he will rise, Phoenix-like, f.'ora the ashes of his finauclal failure and put to flight the demagogues who "jumped upon him with both feet" when ho was down.

A United States Marshal and Two Detectives on tho Same Ship. Deotives Guarding Treasurer Bardslsy at His Home. liy Rational Prest Association. Norfolk, Vn.( JliJy 20. Marsh, the ab sconding president of tho Philadelphia bank, is undoubtedly a prisoner on the Brazilian mall steamship which left hero yesterday. Just as the vessel left tho United Fwitos Marshal with two deteo tlvea reached tho dock. They were bare ly in time, but managed to scramble on board and have gone to sea with tho fugitive. There Is intense interest here as to tho outcome. If the marshal asserts his au thority the captain of the vessel must set his detectives and Marsh ashore. This will probably be done at some, point out sldo the capeb, and tho next known of the quartet will be their arrival at Boino city still further south. It may bo that tha party may be car ried as far as Florida, but it is not thought tho captain of the Brazilian ves sel will rof use to obey the marshal's order to land them at the nearest American port. BARDSLEY A PRISONER. The Arrest of Philadelphia's City Treas urer May lSrlug Out Exposure. Philadelphia, May 23. Tho great climax haB come In tho bank falluro son sation and tho matter of tho accounts of John Bardsley, city treasurer, and holder of almost $1,000,000 of money belonging to the State. Bardsley has been arrested, and is now watched by two detectives In his elegant residenco at Germantown. Ho is too 111 to bo taken ta court or prison, but it is expected that ho will be arraigned to morrow. The warrant was issued by Mayor Stunrt, when ho learned that the records of the city treasurer's office are irregular, that his books aro crooked, and that there are gross discrepancies in his bank accounts, and that the experts appointed by olayor Stuart have already discovered a condition of affairs which indicates that the recent revelations aro merely tho beginning of a series of ttill mora as tounding sxposures. "Thero will bo somo big corpses lying about this city," said one of tho persons who is interested in an official capacity in the investigation, "and if John Bards ley will tell the truth thero will be on ex odus to South America or some interest ing additions to the penitentiary popula tion. Philadelphia will furnish a Bonsa tion for the whole country." Mrs. Bardsley, who is almost wild over the whole affair, has promised Mayor Stuart that she will uso all her power to make her husband tell everything ho knows in relation to the defunct banks, and the city officials are hoping thai ere long they will get to tho bottom of what oven the bank officials admit Is ono of the most rotton concerns In tho coun try.

Last night the fruit stand at the corner of Market and Centre streets, owned by Frank Spania, was broken into. Tho stand has attached to it a email place of shelter in which tho proprietor sits during rough woather and in which ho is supposed to koep somo of his stock aftor business hours. The door of this place of shelter was fastened by a flap, staplo and pad-lock. The burglars last night forced tho staple and gained admittance to the place, secur ing a fow bananas and a box of cigars. A peculiarity of tho robbery is that it is but a fow nights sinco tho stablo owned by Otto Carl, on the came block, ;was broken iuto by forcing tho staplo, and at the time the boys were caught in tho lattor oct it was believed they were acting as "feelers" for older heads. The similarity of the two burglarios, in tbo same neighborhood and within a fow niehts of each other, leads to the suspicion that an at tempt has been made to build a case in favor of tho boys already in custody by committing an act as near alike tho other ae possiblo to give tho iniproaiion that tho real parties who broke into Carl's stable aro still at largo. If such is the case it is quite natural to believe that the supposed backers of tho "feelers" robbed tho fruit stand. WILL HUGHES ARRESTED. Taken Into Custody in Town Sat urday Night.

The Homo Friondly Society, of Balti more, Md., is rapidly pushing itsolf to the leadership of Industrial insurance societies. Its statement for tho year ending January 1st, 1891, is a flattering ono, one which can bo expected only from a well and con servatively managed institution. Tho mem bers enrolled during 1S00 numbered 23,471, makingi businoss of $1,672,700, and the incomo for tho year amounted to $111, 050. 60. Tho slok and death claims paid during the same porind numbered 0,480 and amounted in cash to $50,501.42. Tho in surance carried .at tho end of the' year amounted to $5,021,000 and thoro is not a disputed claim upon the books of the society to-day. A compsrison of the re port of lb00 with that ot lb85 shows a wondtriul growth of tho sooioty's business. During tho latter year tho insurance amounted to $152,090. The income wat $1,883.11! and the claims paid aBRrosatod S1.J54.70. We publish in this iseuo an acknowledgement by tho Kiciety. It is only ono of many testimonials to the com pany which the fllo of paper shows. IT'S A SUCCESS. That is the Way tho "Olironlclo" Puts It. Tho Schuylkill Press Association in thi first your jf its existence has boen a good thing if for nothing r,!sa than to convince tho members that somo of their editorial brethren do not wear horns, and to awaken among others a respect for the printing press that was not heretofore entertained. Tho several gatherings, hold sinco May, 1890, have thrown tho membors of tho pro fession of Schuylkill county into tho hap piest relations with each other. Somo rf them still shout liar in italic but no one pays any attontion to that, because the man who. uses that sort of argument is sized up to his propsr estate very quickly, and .oonoror later the Schuylkill Pros? Association will eliminate that sort of journalism by force of contact. But whilo tho mombers of the press of Schuylkill county aro gotting together, a very large majority are already together and the others muet get there or havo a very lonesome time, there are others who havo learned the lesson tho organization was intondod to teach. They no longer go oif to job offices to get their work done, and then oxpect tho newspapers to puff them. Every newspaper office in tho county depends on the job office attached to it to a certain extont. Printing news papers is only a means to an end. It is hard work with but little outcome. In times gone by people have gone off to job offices that were unencumbered with news papers and got their printing done, and then asked and expected to be puffed by other offices. The Schuylkill Press Association is put ting an end to that. Tho reports yester day were very gratifying on that score as on every other. To which we, one and all, agreo. ANOTHER "GOBBLE." Tho Reading Gets the Gettysburg Road. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company ha- consummated an arrange ment with tho proprietors of the Gettys burg and Harrisburg Railroad by which tho Reading will assume control of that road, taking formal possession at once. Mr. McLeod was elected president of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad, and a board of his choosing was ?lected to take tho place of the retiring board, who re signed on Tuesday last. Mr. W. H. "Woodward, who for many years years has boen superintendent of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad, will be retained by the Reading, being placd in chargo not'only of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg, but cf the Philadelphia, Har risburg acd Piltsburn Railroad as well, with his office at Harrisburg. The Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad is an exceedingly valuable acquisition, fur nishing as it does the most direct route from tho East and "West to tho greatest battle field of tho rebellion. It givts tho Reading an additional conncctitT: with the Cumberland Valley Railroad at Carlisle, and with tho "Western Maryland Railroad at Gettysburg, the litt ir making way for a short lino to Baltimore via tho Westorn Maryland Railro&j. The acquisition of this road is another lino in the chain which is being forged by President McLeod for the future and mate rial prosperity of tho Reading Railroad Company.
