The State Bond Investigating Commit
tee held a meeting Monday in the Treasury
Department, at Harrisburg, and obtained a
number of important facts which may re-
suit in unravelling the oycrissue of bonds
in 1858. W. D. Boas of Harrisburg, who
was a clerk under BiclSel, State Treasurer
in 1858, and cashier under Bailey, Bickels
successor, said that bonds TO the amount Of
$500 900 were forwarded to the Girard Bank,
Philadelphia, from time to time, some OF
which he had transferred to the bank him
self OF this amount 100000 were nego-
tiated for tue use of the State, and subse-
quently 900 We're negotiated in London
by agents of the Girard Bank, leaving S72,-
900 not negotiated, which he always under.
stood remained so in the Girard Bank. He
said that the department never had any
personal dealings with Charles S. Boker,but
dealt with the bank alone. 1t will be re-
membered that paper was produced at a
previous meeting of the Committee signed
by Boxer, showing that the bank had $780,
900 of bonds of 1858 when Biakel entered
upon the duties of Office, and Alderman
Maurer, chief clerk in the Auditor General;
office for many years, testified that prior and
subsequent 70 MeGrath's administration
books were kept showing the number o
bonds issued and from which the coupons
had been cut. The books had not beer
found, but the State Treasury clerks well
requested 70, produce them, if they can be
found, at the next meeting of the Commit
tee, which WIS to be held at Bedford las

William Allen, the Nestor of Ohio Democ-
racy, and one of the most prominent and
influential public men Of that State, died at
Chillicothe. in that State on Friday Of last
week. Although but seventy three years Of
age, he had been ranked among the very an
clients because Of the unusually early period
of his life when he took foremost position
in the politics and public affairs Of Ohio. He
was elected to the House of Representatives
Of the United States lcrty-seven years ago,
when he was but twenty-sx yearsufage de.
leating as distinguished man as Governor
Duncan Macarthur, who left the Executive
chair Of the State to stand as a candidate
against the young senator of the Democratic
cause. The District was Wing, and Allen
got through by a majority ofOnc. lie served
in the House Of Representatives from De-
cember, 1858, to March 4, 1888. Very soon
after this he was chosen United States Sem
ator for Ohio over the senior Thomas Ewing
one Of the oblest of Ohio's public men ofthat
day. The Legislature that elected him had
a Democratic majority of but single vote,
but a majority of one was sufficient IN those
days. That was forty three years ago, and
Allen was but thirty years ofage, very young

The Commissioner of Pensions is auth
orized by law to detail clerks from his Office
to investigate cases of suspected fraud under
the Pension lave. The following is brief
summary of the operations in that branch
of the service during the last fiscal year
As many as 1885 cases were investigated.
Pensioners, S03 in number, were dropped
from the rolls. The monthly rates of fifty
five others were reduced, and 40S persons
were refused pensions, who, except for the
Investigations, would have been pensioned.
The saving to the Government for the fiscal
year was SlOI ,260 50. Besides the above,
several hundred criminal offences were dis
covered, only 129 of which, however, could
be prosecuted, for the reason that the others
were barred by the statute of limitations.
OF the l29 still subject to prosecution forty
seven were committed by claim agents. The
appropriation for the expenses Of these in
vestigations was sac, 900, ,ofwhch only $780,
S4l 25 was expended. The balance, S4ljS,-
rs, will be returned to the Treasurer lfthis
report is accurate, the system of investiga-
ton has saved half a million of money dur
ing the year; but what has it established
for the general integrity of the country
The amount of fraud abroad in the land is
fearful TO contemplate.

From what can be learned here it would
seem that the report about yellow fever in
the South has been much exaggerated. Moth
ing has been received in official circles which
confirms the report that the fever is epidemic,
although several members Of the National
board of health express the fear that the fever
will become epidemic at sometime during the
summer. One good result that has come Of
the recent reports, however, Is the energy
with which. the District officials here are over
hauling the city. The garbage and other
nuisances in the vicinity Of the river front
are sufficient almost OF themselves to start an
/ epidemic, and If the yellow fever should break
| out and case of it should reach Washington
4 within week or two, before the District en-
| glneurs get 10 work, there is no telling what
VIII be The result. A delegation of govern
ment citizens called apon the commissioners
to-day and succc eded in obtaining the assu-
rance that the city would be thoroughly
cleaned and all nuisanccs discontinued. The
reported yellow fever epidemic is not without
q hldeous side. When the National Board o
Health organized, one of the first things II
did was to resolve that 1t would not give any
information ofits operations to the press, o
to any one who would be likely to give th'
information to the press, SO when they frs
read all about the outbreak Mt Memphis il

Senator Lamar who has but recently re
! turned IRON visit to the south, stated I
a friend yesterday that the people oi his Stat
were beginning to be troubled by the negr

/ to rage somewhere else. The farmers are tn
, only white people thus far who suffer from it
r although there is no telling what would b
G the result in the long run. The Senator di
not speak as lightly ot the suiect as some q

Governor Hoyt Tuesday granted a re

against Peter Herdc, of lHlliamsport, and
Il warrant in accordance Herewith was is
sued 10 the proper authorities of Lycoming
county. 1t is charged that in 1876 Herdic
borrowed $4,000 from a bank in Elmira,
N. Y, depositing as collateral security 1000
shares, of stock of the IVilliamsport Gas
Company and 395 shares Of stock of the Ly-
coming Gas and Water Company, of which
he claimed to be the owner; and, it is al
legged that he falsely represented the
amount of capital stock of these companies,
thereby giving to the shares deposited as
security an appearance Of greater value than
they had, and thus obtained the loan Of S2j,-

Governor Allen was born in Tdentown,
North Carolina, son of Colonel Nathaniel
Allen, who died when the future senator and
governor was an infant child, leaving also a
daughter Mary, who was married in 1911 to
the Rev. Pleasant Thurman, and these were
the father and mother Of Governor, Judge

moved on to Ohio, where the two families

A Fearful CnInnity.

At little before ten o'clock on Friday
morning of last week, a fire broke out in the
mill of Gen. divers powder works, at Lau-
rel Run. 1t was caused by the too tight set
ting of the knives, which struck a spark.
But little damage was done as Thomas
Brooks, workman,was near at hand and
extinguished the flames, escaping with
slight injury.
But greater disaster was to follow. At
little past five in the afternoon, just as work
was about to close for the day, John McKeal
took a piece of iron and tired to clear some
dirt from the eccentric in the press room,
while it was yet in motion. A spark flew
and ignitcd the powder, which exploded, as
did also ten kegs standing in the room.
There was terr tic report,and dense clouds
of smoke filled the place. Six men were
in the room at the time, viz, John Miner,
Fred Steele, Wm. Kidney, William White
bread, James Burns, and John McKeal. All
rushed for the doors and Miner got out un
hurt. Steele and Kidney were but slightly
burned, but the others received such terrible
injuries that the physicians report their re-
covery impossible. Whtebread is scorched
from head to foot and his eyes absolutely
burned from their sockets. Burns is burned
terribly and is thought to have inhaled the
flames and suffered internal injuries. Nc
Keal is also in frightiul condition. 1t
soems impossible that either Of these three
men can live. All were in great pain, as
the skin had been actually burned oil THEN
bodies. Their clothing had been saturated
with powder, and when the flames touched
these they bnrned like tinder. The men
! were at once removed to the house Of Reu-
ben Gress, with whom they boarded, and
everything conceivable done for them. Gen.
Oliver was promptly on the spot rendering
all the assistance in his power, He also
sent to Wilkesbarre for oil, linen and wuat-
ever could contribute to alleviate the in
tense sulerngs of the men. The loss oI
property is not heavy, and will probably
not exceed $4OO. The building caught fire
but by energetic efforts the flames We're sub
dued in few minutes. The betting was
partially destroyed and the glass blown
from the windows.
