The pearl button ludutry wao
s'arted In this country about fifty
years ago, but, unfortunately, did not
thrive, and those who Invested their
money in the enterprise had to buv-
cumb to adverse circumstances, for
they learned to their loss that they
could not make or sell as good articles
as those that were Imported equally aa
low. Many attempts have been mado
from time to time to revive tho in
du9try, but they all proved fruitless up
to 1800, when the present tariff law
was enacted. Impressed with this
view of the surroundings, numerous
pearl works have been erected during
the last nine or ten mouths in and
around New York and Brooklyn, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
which are now in full operation with
no less than (000 hands employed,
earning good wages from $17 to $22 u
week and skilled workmen and
cutters of fine work from $24 to $30 a
week.
Our English friends are bewailing
the falling off of the American de
mand for British wire, and aro
endeavoring to find reasons for it
They point out that only a few years
ago the. imports of the rod billets, rod
and finished wire exceeded 190,00 tons
annually, but at present the trade Is
comparatively email, and is every
year growing less. The quantity of
iron rods imported Into -the United
Stales during 1690 was 55,427 tons,
while the Imports of wire and wire
roping were but 4,611 tons. The con
elusion they reach is that the Ameri
can wire manufacturers are supplying
tho demand ot this country.

Arriving in one of tho uppor rooms
Connors soarched all the closets and looked
undor tho beds, but no flunk could ho find.
In onccornor of tho room several bundles

Tho policeman started down stairs with

J REFUSED TO TALK
OONVIOT BARDSLEY BROUGHT
AQAIN INTO COURT.
HE WAS WANTED AS A WITNESS.
But Declined Poei ively to Answer
Any of the Questions Put to
Him Said ho Had Boen
Ma igned.
I'fllLADaLPrtrA, 8sp. 10. Tbo spoctncla
ot a convict ox-cltsy offlolal appearing In
court aa n witness and a numbsr ot
prominent and influential citizens ai de
fendants is very rare Indeed.
Wbon John Bardslay was brought into
court yesterday, handoufted and In oharge
of Warden Cassldy, to be used, If poesl
bla, in aiding justice In gettlug n hold ou
other wronguoors, it was generally ex
pected ho would act the part of a clam,
and so he did.
That tho District-Attorney was greatly
perplexed at bis refusal to talk was fully
attested to by thuc goatlemau this
morning.
In opening the procoedtnas beforo the
court the District Attorney narrated the
foot that his assistants had rcpontedly
culled on Burdsley in prison to obtain
testimony, but novor wore succoisfuL
The Dlstrlat-Attoruoy then announced
that tho Commonwealth had subpoenaed
Qlendonnlng & Sons, Auditor-General
MoCamant, William 11. Llvescy, cashlor
in the Stato Treasury, who was not pres
ent, and tha ofQccrs of tho Farmers' and
Mechanics', Third National and Seventh
National banks, selecting thoso banks,
the District-Attorney concluded, in
which there could bo no question as to
knowledgo as to whose money Burdsley
was being paid Interest "PQ"
Here the name, of John Bardsloy was
called. Tho clerk offered to swear him,
but ho refused. Ho said: "Tbo publio
have been tnught to believe that there Is
no value In my word whatever. I havo
been maligned aud I hnyo got to-day
moro than I can bear. My self-respect,
however, in viow of all that has been
said and done, will not permit me, under
any circumstances to give testimony ia
this court,"
Judge Foil rcmtndodhlm that he oould
rcfued to answer qustlons, but bs only
insisted that he would not be sworn.
The District-Attorney lnUstod that ho
should bo sworn.
Judge Gordon Mr. Bardsloy, It is
your duty to toko tho oath administered
to you. You aro a cltlron subpoenaed
hero regularly, and it is your duty to
take the oath. Tho other matters will
be determined when thoy are reached.
Mr. Bardsloy If your Honor says so I
will tako the oath, which he did.
"Do you know Mr. McCninailtr" "I de
cline to answer any questions at all. I
havo simply been sworn out of deference
to yonr Honor, because you think it is
my duty."
After a number of other questions had
been asked Burdsley, all of which he de
clined to answer, ho finally said: "I
have declined to answer uny questions.
My mind bus Irrevocably been mado up
and no inducements under tha circum
stances can prevail upon mo. It is use
less for Mr. Graham to further distress
me."
Bardsley was then dismissed from tho
stand.
TheGlendennlng caso was next called,
and after a lengthy examination Robert
Glendonnlng and George H. Hubn, con
stituting tho firm of Glendonnlng & Co.,
were held lu $10,000 boll each for court,
on tho charge of having nlded and abetted
Bardsley in his conversion of the publio
money. Bail wus entorod in tholrbo
half. The cases of tho three bank presidents
were then takon up.
Mr. Grnham said it was a question In
bis mind if the presidents could bo In
dicted, as tho law of conspiracy did not
cover tho case, and he wanted tho opin
ion from tho judges sitting as to whether
the presidents of these banks could be
indicted for paying interest.
"I submit to tbo court," said Mr.
Graham, "that this question as present
ed in my own mind is one of immorality
and not of criminality, and if tho court
agrees with tho thought in my own mind
I should feel it my duty to recommend
that no further uctlou bo tnken and that
no warrants bo issued, feollng that there
Is not sufficient In tho law of conspiracy
to warrant an arrest."
Aftor tho court had retired for a spaco
of ten minutes they returned and read
their opinion, In which they decided that
no action would lie as against tbo per
son paying interest.
