Philadelphia official Lose
$4,000 OF City Funds.

$4,000 OF City Funds.
National Associated Press to the Star.
PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-It has been
whispered since yesterday that detal-
cation had occurred in the Office Of the
Receiver OF Taxes for this city, amount
ing to some $4,000, and newspaper men
have been engaged most assiduously in
endeaVoriug to find out the circum-
stances, Mr.. Smith, the Receiver, could
not be found, but it is understood that
he has been In close consultation with
the City Solicitor.
1t has, however, transpired that the
detaulter is Theodore Honell, who has
charge OF the books Of the Eighth Ward.
He las been gambling in Pennsylvania
and Reading Railroad stockD, in collu-
sion with a broker on Third street.
There was a strong temptation to arrest
on a criminal charge, as most Of the lost
money was in checks drawn to the order
of Thomas j. Smith, Receiver of Taxes.
These were put up as margins. The
distractions have been going on since
March last and Honell Deco ming wor-
red revealed his trouble to friend.
The City Solicitor has attached the
funds in the hands OF the broker on the
ground that the city moneys can be al
Iached anywhere. By the action over
80 per cent. would be recovered, and
there are hopes of getting 1t all. The
city will lose nothing. however, as
HonelPs securities are answerable for
the balance.

Inc crowd then went to the Parliament
Building and asked for an interview
with the Premier, Mr.. Mckenzie, who
was engaged with a committee.
Mr.. Mckenzie refused to see the men,
and the crowd then entered the build
ing and insisted upon seeing him. He
again refused, and the door OF the COM
mlttee room was slammed IN the face of
the leaders. The men became indignant
at the treatment they had received and
held meeting, passing vote of GEN.
sure, and called on the working men Of
the Dominion to join them in rebuking
the Government. Rousing cheers were
given 0for Sir j. A. Mcdonald, after
which the crowd dispersed to meet
again.

aecount of its stewardship, and on
falling to do so was handled without
gloves by MIR. Whipple, to which Mr.
Nixon replied In scathing terms, stat
ing that he was neither the tool OF no
man nor party OF men in this city. He
was run by James Nixon, and by no.
body else; and alter few more of the

special election returns were opened,
with the following result:
For the new school building, %; for an

But TO no avail, as the honorable body
sustained the Marshal when the ques-
tion at issue was called, viz, the allow
ance Of his salary, and after the distin-
guished Whipple got of his last speech
and was called TO order by Nixon, and
required to reduce it to writing, the
great AIMS adjourned.

A LIMIT TO CoNQUEST.-rhere are
some things which no conqueror can
compel, aud some which no governme mt
can restrain. The British govern'India,
and have all the outward semblance of
respect paid to them. But they can not
compel sincere homage, or conquer
prejudice. There is'a standard British
History Of India, translated into the
language of that country, said to be a
learned and scholarly translation, in
which, whenever the word "English'
occurs, it is translated by native In.
dian word, which means "the defiled."
Native statesmen who hold British Gov.
nmentappointments are said TO speak
OF their British eonquerors, among them
selves, as the "low-class people," Nc
Government can restrain the thought
which in private will find It's way to the
tongue; aud sensible Englishmen ask
no questions about what is said out o.
their hearing and in another language

To PREVENT ACCIDENT.-There was
recently trial for murder in Ireland,
in which the evidence was SO palpably
insufficient that the Judge stopped the

something for the lee he had received for
