STOLE OYER A HALF MILLION
After Sorvlnc Flvo Years of a Fifteen Yoar
Sentence the Dishonest Official Once
Again Breathes the Air of Freedom.
In a State of Physical Collapse.
IlAHItianDltO, Sopt 23. Govornor Hnst
lngs last night signed n pardon for John
Bardsloy, former city treasurer of Phila
delphia, 'who, on July 8. 1891, was son
tonood to flf toon years In tho Eastern pent
tontiary for misappropriating over jcco,-
000 of city and state nionoys, whllo oc
cupying his official position. The gover
nor glvos no roason for his notion, al
though It Is 'thought his decision was
hastonod by tho fact thut Bardsloy wan
stricken with paralysis of tho loftsldo on
Thursday last. Tho pardon was mailed
last night by Chlof Clerk Gcurhnrt, of the
stato department, to Warden Cnssldy, of
tho Kastorn ponltontlary,and Bardsloy was
sot froo today.
Tho financial panto of tho summer of
1891, which wrought Bardsloy's downfall,
was ono of tho worst this city has over
sufforod. It began with tho suddon col
lapso of tho Koystone bank ahd tho flight
of Its president, Gldoon W. Marsh, who la
still n f ugltlvo from justice. Tho Spring
Gardon bank was tho noxt to closo Its
doors, and tho Konnody brothers, Its pros
ldont and cashlor, woro Font to prison for
ton years. Cashlor Lawrence, of tho Key
stono, was given soven years, and was par
doned about two mouths ago by Presi
dent Cloveland.
In theso two banks Bardsloy had dc
posltod hundreds of thousands of stato and
city funds under an arrangement by
which, It waschargod, ho and tho ofilcors
namod reaped porsonal profit. Unfortu
nate stock speculations primarily caused
Bardsloy's ruin, although It has boon ro
poatodly urgod that ho was llttlo mora
than a scapegoat for worso Blnners.
Ho rosignod from his ofllco on May 21,
1891, and tho financial crash followed. Tho
Bradford Mills company, a big concern of
which ho was an olllcor, wont to tho wall,
and two banks wont with It, nnd so did a
largo number of smaller Institutions.
Bardsloy was promptly arrostod, with tho
othors of those Involved who could bo
caught, and on July 2 tho sontonco was
Imposed.
An examination by a committee selected
from both branches of councils finally
succeeded In straightening out, so far ns
was possible, tho tangled skein resulting
from tho peculations.
Tho agitation for Bardsloy's pardon has
boon going on for a consldcrablo time, at
tho Instigation of promlnont citizens who
bollovod that Bardsley was moro sinned
against than sinning. Tho principal plea
presontcd In favor of tho pardon was that
of tho prisoner's foiling health, and thero
was abundant medical testimony brought
beforo tho board of pardons to provo that
ho Is pnictlcully In a stotoof collapse, and,
If continued In confinement, could ltvo
but a brlof tlmo. Tho board recommended
tho granting of tho pardon about two
weeks ago.

The First Ward Was Threatened by a
Conflagration.
EXCELLENT SERYICE BY FIREMEN
Thoy Responded With Full Equipment and
Extinguished the Flames When an
Entire Square of Framo Dwellings
Appeared to bo Doomed.
At about 1:30 o'clock this morning (Ire
broko out in a shanty at tho rear of houses
on South Bridge street and tho Humes spicad
rapidly. Tho buildings in that vicinity aro
of a very llimsy character and it is surpris
ing that, under tho circumstances, at least
tho greater part of tho square from Bridgo
street to tho P. & K. mil road was not swept
away by tho llatnes.
An alarm was sounded from box 21, corner
of Centra and Bridgo streets, hut for some
unexplained reason It was not properly trans
mitted, although tho tiro alarm system re
sponded properly to tho usual test at sovon
o'clock last evening, which was mado by
Electrician Heaves personally. Subsequently,
however, thcalarm was properly transmitted,
but tho delay gave tho Haines a chance
to got suh a hold upon tho llimsy
surroundings that tho people of the
First jvard feared a conflagration would
follow. Tho night watchman at tho Indian
Iiidgo colliery put tho breaker whistle
iu operation, which had a good effect, and
mcauwhilo the firo alarm system sounded a
proper alarm. Tholtescuo Hook & Ladder
Company responded with its chemical engine
and hook and ladder truck, tho Phoenix
Hoso Company with its two lioso carriages
and tho Columbia company with its two
carriages and engine. Tho service of the
companies was highly commendable. In
spito of tho rapid spreading of tho
flames and tho delay, tho firo was
restricted to four dwellings and only one
was gutted. . It was tho first regular sorvico
for tho chemical engine and the apparatus
did excellent work. Tho properties affected
by tho firo belong to tho Davis estate. Tho
dwelling gutted consists of two stories and a
garret. A similar adjmniug building was
badly damaged and the rear parts of two ouo
and a half story dwellings were badly
burned. All tho dwellings woro occupied by
Lithuanian and Hungarian families,
who succeeded in saving all but a few
pieces of furniture from damage. Tho
origin of tho firo is not known. It was
claimed that mining clothes caught tiro from
a range in tho shanty of tho house that
suffered tho most, but tho family that occu
pied tho houo deny this. They say the
tire started from some unknown causo out
side tho house and when they were
awakened from their slumbers by the crack
ling of tho llames, tho entire south sido of
their houso was in llames. Great excitement
was caused by tho tire. Tho en
tire neighborhood was in slumber and
the terror stricken people at first
rushed wildly from their beds to tho
street attired only in their night clothes.
Women and children rushed to and fro cry
lug and screaming, whllo the excited men of
tho families turned their attention to getting
out the furniture. It was a distressing early
morning picture.
