MAYOR HAvEMEYER.
PROCEEDINGS fer bis Removal from Of
hec-Tammany n she Lead-EIfs
Onense.

New York, July 4.-Hon. John
Kelly, chairman Of the Tammany hall
general committee, and Alderman
Aswald AttendOrfsr, with counsel, in
GLIDING a representative Of the council
for political reform on organization,
composed Of Republicans and Deme-
Gratis, are preparips The ground work fo-
action against Mayor Havemeyer, and
recently convicted and appointed
Police e-Commissioners Oliver, Charlick
and Hugh Gardner. The attorney
general has been asked by telegraph
to direct Assistant-Attorney- General
Fairchild to assist in the proposed prose-
eutiOns. BE was engaged in that of
Gardner and Charlick, and is conversant
with the details of the case. 1t was de-
cided on consultation to ask the gov
ernor to remove the mayor on specific
charges, and to suspend him from Office
during the investigation. The charges
against the mayor are that he has APP
pointed to Office men who are not eligi.
bic by reason of their conviction OF mis-
deu. eanOr, and even If they are eligible
their appointment is an outrage on the
public, since they have been convicted
and three similar indictments hang over
them. The papers in the Ease are being
rapidly prepared. Application will also he
made to the grand jury for the finding
of an additional indictment against Po-
lice Commissioners Gardner and Char
lick. The charges are analogous to those
of the old indictments, but are said to be
of S graver nature. They have also
been directed to prepare an application
to the civil court for other means of
relief Should Mayor Havemeyer be
convicted and suspended from Office, his
successor will be President Vance, Of the
board of aldermen, who is Republican.
This and different Organiza ions are rep
resented in the prosecution. 1t is claimed
that it can be shown that il is not po-
Iitical one. Meantime the police board
is unOrganized. Commissioners Dis
brecleT and Duryee balance Charlick
and Gardner, and the former, it is said,
refuse TO recognize the latter as lawfully
appointed commissioners.

Heavy Defaicaiisn in Holmes SOunty,
iO-An0tner Manip0laiiOu of n
School Fund.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, July is. NJ. Burn
ham, recently appointed to investigate
the condition Of the Holmes county
treasury, made his report to the auditor
of the State to-day. The report shows
a defalcatiOn of tWenty-three thousand
seven hundred and forty-twO dollars, and
states that aside from informality in
keepine the accounts Of tine treasury, go
far as the present treasurer is concerned,
he is all right. A demand was made upon
Joseph H. Newton, county auditor, for
the books relating to the schoOl-tund
since and including 1885, but the exami-
ner was told that the returns of the
youth of school age had been lost, and
warrants on which money had been paid
could not be found. Stub-boOks from
which warrants had been taken, had
been sold for old paper. After TAX
ing the testimony of the town
ship clerks, the report states that it
was discovered that the distribution Of
The school fund had not been made
correctly since 1865, and that in most
cases the distribution had been much
smaller than the townships were en-
titled to receive, except MiIlersburg,
Which received more than its share
The Examiner says NIillersburg is Uu-
dOubtedly the leak through which this
excess of nineteen thousand four hum
dred and thirteen dollars and twenty
eight cents Ia . great part found its way
out Of the treasury and into the pockets
of these not entitled thereto; that there
has been a systematic effort to destroy
papers and records, and to so keep the
accounts as to cover up this fraud, is
abundantly shown by evidence adduced
before me. The auditor has increased
returns of the school youth made to
him by township clerks each year since
1866, and certified them so increased to
the school commissioners, and on these
false returns raised in some instances
thirty-three per cent. above the
original, the money was drawn
from the State treasury. BY this
means another was enabled TO and did
generally apportion to the several town
ships what was due them upon a true
examination, in frequent instances CO.
ing above, and ia a few below the true
amount. This amount, therefore, be-
longs to the State, and when paid the
State will be still a loser on account of
springing the amount due the State
from George Reed during his term, from
1866 to 1870, on account of money drawn
by him and not distributed according to
law, including interest to date, nine

right, and barely room for the train TO
pass; Hawks Nest and the scenery
about the Kanawha falls must be seen
TO be appreciated-the best description
would not do 1t justice. The crops on
both sides Of the Ohio are splendid. The
crops in northern and central Ken
lucky look well, bat not so in southern
Kentucky and northern Tennessee
where the cotton Is small, the stand
only moderately good, and the pros
poets not very promising. With
the exception Of q few more
holes ia the Nicolscn pavement
over which reminds one OF
''Featherbed valley" a rock portion Of
one Of the Virginia stage rOutes--I found
Memphis just as 1 left it. May the at
tentiOn Of capitalists soon be turned TO
this rich and fertile valley, may they
strive to reclaim it from the mighty
river. and make it-ae il can be made
almost az Eden, and when this is done,
then will Memphis grow and flourish,
and rival any city in the Mississippi
valley. This day must and wilt come
such a valley as ours cannot long lie
Who knows what may be
in store for Memphis. May she grow
and flourish. HENEX.
