New YORK, Oct. 9.-Great interest is
taken In the report of the commissioner of
accounts. in the Carroll coupon frauds,
which alleges that frauds could have oc.
Cured only through gross carelessness;
that Carroll must have had an accomp!lce;
that proof exists that the coupons OF
the surplus bond issue were used,
and that radical reorganization
of the financial department OF the city is
necessary. Upon looking over the report
several features struck Mayor Edison, one
was the manner in which the interest &C
count had been conducted ia the comptrol-
lers office; another in the allegation of the
surplus, or difference between the coupons
printed aud the coupons issued, which were
not destroyed. Where are they? That is
the matter with the investigation.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 0.-The inquest on
the bodies of the four persons killed by the
collision on the North Pennsylvania rail
road train with street car on Friday last,
was concluded to-day. A young man was
driving the car at the time of the disaster,
while the driver was inside collecting fares.
The passengers said that after the north
bound train passed, the tlagman walked
away, and witness thinking this an in
dication that the track was clear, started
the horses across. The fagman shortly
after this waived his flag to
stop the car, but too late to avoid the col
lision. The jury returned verdict, de-
claring the Union Passenger railway CEN

the car, is criminally censurable. Frank
Bird, the engineer ofthe train, is criminally
censurable for running his train, and the

A GROWL AR0BT THE COMMENCES
MENT BUSINESS.


To the Editor Of The EVENING srAa:
Does it not occur to you that the commence
ment business is being rather run into the
ground? The flower part OF it seems to me to
be altogether absurd. Il happen to know some
thing about the expense Of the commencement
exercises to the graduates of one of our law
schools not long since, The actual cash outlay
for music, printing, stage decorations, &C. were
ABOUT $50 for each member of the class One
OF the graduates told me it was considered not
the correct thing unless the members of the
class appeared in new ''swallow tail" and Ak
ings to match, and this entailed an additional
expense OF about the same amount. At the
close OF the exercises each graduate found HIM
self overburdened with floral tributes" One
of the class had thirty-three bouquets and
flower pieces. making a load too great to be car
ried away in carriage. These flowers must
have cost from S10O to $150, and in a week
young men are not wealthy. II they begin the
practice of their profession at once they have a
long struggle before them to reach
position of independence. The money they
spend on "cOmmencement" exercises would be
quite little lift toward commencement IN real
business. The money their friends throw away
on flowers IL invested in law books would, as q
rule, be much more highly appreciated and
would certainly be more useful, and what ap-
plies to the law schools applies with equal force
to the other schools. bouquet is more ap-
propriate gift to 'sweet girl graduate" of one
OF the young ladies' seminaries than to a full
grown man, who is declared to be master Of
laws or bachelor Of arts; but q mule load Of
flowers Is too much Of good thing even for a
pretty muscular young lady. At least such is
the opinion Of an OLD FOGY.

A Jealous Woman,s Crime.

THE LEONARD-SMITH SHOOTING CASE
Mrs. Clarence Smith, who was shot in New York
on last Friday afternoon by Miss Helen Leonard,
rested comfortably Sunday at St Vincents hos
pital. and, at last accounts, was in fair way to
recover. Miss Leonard who is In Jefferson Marke ct
prison,was visited by Counsellor VIM. F. Knitting.
to whom she related her history. Mr.. Knitting
said her story was very pathetic one. 1t was ru-
mored among the police that Helen Leonard was
Helen May Freeman who, about three years ago.
created sensation by entering into conspiracy
to blackmail Howard IngerSolL Miss Freeman
was defended by Mr.. Knitting, but was convicted.
Mr.. Clarence 81. Smith, the husband Of the wounded
lady, says that his wife has been an invalid for
from her bed. He said that Patrick Callaghan, Of
whose alleged attentions to Mrs. Smith Miss
Leonard was said to be Jealous. knew his wire's
family when she was girl Mr.. Smith did not
know him until two years ago, when his wife and
her mother met him In the street, and he was very

another invitation, and was-entertained. He
went twice to the opera with members OF Mr..
Smiths family, Mr.. Smith being of the party.
Then he wrote Mrs Smith q note, which she
showed to her husband It was a request for her
company at the opera. He received In reply let
ter informing him that Mrs Smith did not 20 to
places OF amusement unless her husband was
with those who accompanied her. He discovered,
he says, that Callaghan was miserable. boastful
fond OF parading his conQuests and addicted to
injurious tattle about persons whose houses he
visited. He thinks that in revenge for this rebuff
Callaghan boosted to Miss Leonard that Mrs
Smith was among his cOnQueStS. Before the
shooting Miss Leonard had had interviews with
possession OF letters written by Mrs Smith to CAL
laghan.

had come on to New York to zee his wife and
daughter on to Europe, and was very Thoughtful
OF her comfort. 1t was shock to every one when
Nickerson's proceedings In Phila delphia became
known, and my niece hurried on to Washington,
where everything possible was done for her. She
has had the assistance and sympathy of all the
army officers, including the Secretary OF War and
Gen sherman"
''How do you explain Nickerson's conduct."

In the discharge OF hts duty In both battles. After
the war he became chief of stan under Gen Cooke,
whence he was transferred to the post of assistant

him and Major Nickerson was very affecting. The

THE ACTION THE CASE OF REV. F. Il. BuRD1CK.
At the meeting OF the Washington City Presby-
terry, at the Sixth Presbyterian church yesterday,
as stated In yesterdays STAR, the case Of Rev. F.
II. Burdick, pastor OF that church, was considered
The charge against him was that he had preached
and published sermon In which certain views
were promulgated in opposition to the doctrines
and pol1ty OF the Presbyterian church. This SER
mon, preached April 20, was entitled "What is the
church," and its purport was that denominations
are unscrlptural and should be broken down. Mr.
Burdick read letter yesterday, stating that upon
learning that the sermon was to
be published he had endeavored to
prevent the publication, and upon
receiving published copy he discovered that many
important changes had been made in it DR.. Sun
deriand INTERCEPTED the offending pastor at some
length, and as the result OF his examination re-
ported 1t as his opinion that Mr. Burdick did not
have the mental CALDER necessary to fit him to be
good Presbyterian minister, and suggested that
he should go to seminary. After long discus
sion 1t was voted to retain Mr.. Burdick in the
ministry, Dr. Sunderland alone voting In the mega
tive. The views OF the preSDytery were set
forth In series OF resolutions drawn by a COM
mittee consisting OF Revs. Chester, Chllds and
Ramsdell and Elders BOhrer and Bartlett. which
dick claims now to sincerely accept the doctrines
and policy OF the Presbyterian church as express
ing the system taught in the Holy Scriptures, the
preSbytery, while condemning the errors of Mr..
Burdick, will continue him under It's care as
lcentate, and directs him to abstain from preach
Ing until the next stated meeting OF the presby-
terry.

Why the Play was Interrupted.
From the Boston Globe.
Some Of the nice children in Commonwealth

rents with dramatic performance, with the
distinct understanding that no adult was to
witness rehearsal or to ask about the nature
OF the play, written by young miss Of ten
years, who was to assume the role Of heroine,
assisted by lad Of the same age. On the night

were closed with loud burst Of applause. A
lapse OF ten years was supposed to have passed
between the first and sc cond acts and when
the act commenced the young husband had
returned, and his wife. not looking day older,
greeted her spouse In formal manner. and even
asked him to remain and dine with her. which
he consented to do. While seated at the table

This had ouch an effect upon the matron that
