There was a requiem mass today for the
repose of the souls of the POntifical ZOuaves
who fell a year ago defending Rome.
Up to five o'clock Mayor Hall issued no
orders revOking the order ignoring Control
ler Connolly and his deputies.
The Erening Ne,cs says the person who
stole the vouchers is known, and there is
warrant out for his arrest.
The Post learns on good authority that
early in the summer city vouchers for
$4,000, 900 were stolen from the controllers
office. The mayor and other officers out
side OF the controllers Office only recently
learned Of the abstraction. The city an.
ditor, through whose hands these vouchers
passed, was son Of Connollys, now in Eu-
rope.
The fact that the vouchers were missing,
however, was believed tor good reasons by
the editors Of the Evening Post early in the
present month, and was referred to in q
leading article as subject of inquiry.
1t now appears that the condition Of the
records is even worse than sup
posed. The city auditor, through whose
hands these vouchers passed and who was

He has since left this country and gone to
Europe, and Mr.. Herring has taken his
place.
Up to the time of going to press We have
not been able to learn whether the vouchers
were missing Immediately after Connolly's
sons departure, nor have We any facts
which directly tend to implicate him in the
theft.
1t was said, some days ago, by men who
knew that these vouchers were missing, that !
it was designed in the controllers office to
new vouchers in place of these,
but we do not find any evidence that such

will make official use of this robbery, as
