Our readers have heard mucl, about
the Credit Mobilier fraud without
probably having any intelligent idea
as to the magnitude of the operation.
In order that they may form some
estimate of tho amount Of cash their
cnterprising public servants have pock-
etcd in this. speculation, we give the
following figures showing the profits
realized gtad ltfitDrI
"The profits on Amcs' contracts for
building the Union Pacific railroad, MS
divided, were s20, 1854 900, and on the
Davis contract 81, 1902, 1856, or over s37,
600, 900 which were stolen. The gov
ornment subsidy was s27 900, 900,
which, it will be seen was wholly ap-
propriatod BY the Credit Mobilier
gang"
The pocketing of sirfy-for millions
cfd0llars, by the Washington lobbyists
and the small Senatorial and Con-
gressional ring will go great way
toward making number of those
gentry very rich.

A tax collector, named Hixon, Il
playing "Hoax Ames" up In Franklin,
He has had Wilson Davis, Daniel H.
Cassidy and Espy Connolly, two ol
the County Commissioners and their
clerk, indicted for deirauding the
county. The parties arc all very
"loil" and true representatives of We.
mango county officials.
Hixon was the collector for Corn.
planter township,in which the cslebra.
ted MoClintock and Rocker oil farms
are located. While the county tax on
the former should have beon $500, and
the State $50, It was carried out at
$40 and 90, and on the latter farm Il
was carried out at S24 and SO, when 1t
should havo been s240 and $50. These
mistakes Hixon had corrected, and
collected the full sum. But tho Com.
missioners informed him that tho
Treasurer was only charged with $73,
and the balance, s697, must bo paid
TO them, which no did. He discovered
that this money never reached the
treasury, and when the attention Of
the Commissioners was called TO the
they refused to refund the
money, and suit was brought, and
during the investigation other frauds
were developed, viz:
John G. Porterfiold testified that no
had bought the couuty's interest in
the Emotion bridge, 25 shares, for
which he paid tho Commissioners
S25. This sum never reached the
Treasury. el'W
Tho next fraud exposed was in the
erection Of the French Creek bridge,
for which tho Commissioners paid
sl2,666, when 1t should not have cost
over $4,000. 1t was proven that
two of the Board received 81, 900 each

stealing in those thrco items. The

their percentage was in proportion,

"In view Of future Investigations of
iniquities in the Commissioners Office
we would call the attention of the
attorney for tho county TO the fact
that the Commissioners leased por-
tion Of the Poor House farm to son
of one Of the Commissioners for oil
purposes, Mt one-cighth royalty. A
well was put down and for some time
yielded oil in paying quantities; yet
the tax payers of the county find
themselves charged in the Auditors
Report with nearly six hundred dol
lars expenses for that well. Did any.
