Short in His Accounts.

Wilkesbarre dispatch, Of the goth ult.
says Court House circles were considerably
agitatcd this morning by the announcement
that deficiency of over $1,000 had been
discovered in the accounts of ex County
Treasurer Griffith. Much sympathy is ex-
pressed for the cx treasurer, as it is belived
he is entirely innocent lie has always
borne a good character and is much re-
specled by men Of all parties. The guilty
party is believed to be by many his deputy
John z. Pollock, who is now in the West
Pollock, while in the employ Of Mr.
Grifiiths,it is stated lived fast life here and
snent more money than his salary would
warrant. He had the entire confidence of
Mr. Grifiiths and managed the office to suit
himself 1t is alleged by sorue that he took
advantage Of the confidence reposed in him
Mr.. GrifTihs has been notified by the Coun-
ty Commissioners that he must make good
the discrepancy. This he will do, although
il will leave him bankrupt, The County
Auditors, who examined Pollock's books
and verified them as all right, are now be-
ing loudly blamed.

Eyes, sir"
"What Id this analysis show you ?"
'The presence Of albumeu aud tube casts
in great abundance"
"And what did the symptoms indicate P''
"a serious disease Of the kidneys"
"Did you think Mr.. Warner would re-
cover"
"No, sir. I did not think II possible. 1t
was seldom, indeed, that So pronounced n
case had up to that time, ever been cured !"
"Do you know anything about the rem
edy which cured hin?"
"Yes, have chemically hnalyzed II and
upon critical examination, find it entirely
free from any poisonous or deielerious sub
stances"
We publish the foregoing statements in
view of the commotion which the publicity
of DR.. Hcni,n's article has caused aud to
meet the proteslutiuns which have been
nude. The standing OF Dr.. Hcnon, Mr..
Warner and Dr.. Lattimore in the commun.
ity ie beyond question and the statements
they make cannot for moment be doubted.
They conclusiyely show that Bright's disease
of the kidneys is one Of the most deceptive
aud dangerous OF sll diseases, that il is ex
ceedingly common, alarnliugly increasing
and that it can be cured.

| Inc Goal Iraue,
The coal combination has been brought
10 face the situation aud make the advance
which was threatened on the lst Of tho
month. For a while II looked as If they
would not be able screw their courage tu
the sticking point, for purchasers had de-
cined to be hurried by their threats, and
the orders had not been preceptibly m
erensed, but they felt that it would be sigu
of weakness to recede from their proposed
sdvansc, aud so it was agreed TO put up the
price of hard egg fifteen cents. and stove
and chestnut twenty FIVE cents. No advance
in tolls has yet been announced. 1t cannot
be denied that the trade is in condition to
stand the rise and that the companies CAN
well afford to make it. The policy Of re-
striction has resulted in the sale Of the
largest amount of coal ever produced IN any
half year, and stocks on hand are really
low, full time working does not add to
them and yet dealers are taking the situa'
tion very quietly and are not stocking up
in any large amounts. It is pretty safe to
say that seldom has the stock Of coal above
ground borne SO small proportion 10 The
weekly output, in fact sales at current rates
would exhaust the stock in ten days.
The scarcity is most felt in egg, stove and
chestnut, aud so far the falling off in the
iron trade seems not to have affected the
trade. The deliveries to the West will be
much larger than ever before. The fact
that the price has been advanced at Buffalo,
just as the Reading is getting ready to put
100 900 tons a month, if need be, into that
market is proof that the companies lave
little fears Of OVERRIDING the thing. In fact
there is lack of cars for use in the trade,
owing to the small shipments Of grain which
restrict the offerings of box ears for return
loads. The retail trade is quiet and steady.
We are now entering upon a month In
which it has been agreed to have six days
suspension at least, but as the first week
will he very short one, on account of the
mid-wcek holiday few people look for
suspension during the second week, and
many say, confidentally, that once the
middle Of July is past, the suspensions for
the year will be over. There is reason to be-
lieve that the damage by the foods has
been overestimated, and that nearly all the
cuIlieries will be in working order by Mon
day morning. Travel on the Jersey Shore
and Pine Creek was worst affected, the
washouts causing au almost tota! suspension
OF travel for three or four days. 1t is thought.
however, that when the Shamokin, Sun :
bury and Lewisburg opens, which will be
On Monday, the Jersey Shore road will lie
clear to take its traffic. The damage to the
latter road has been not less than $50, O,COO.--

The design for the monument to the
memory of Major General the Baron
DeKalb, to be erected in Annapolis, Md,

for disregard of orders, in allowing the ex-
penditures for work to exceed the estimates,
SO that the appropriation was exhausted
when the buildings were little more than
half finished. 1t is understood the Court
has recommended reprimand.

political character. He will be given an
