The City Of Cleveland Loses a Shining
Light,
And Finds Deficit in the City Funds.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. %.
The greatest excitement prevails in hnan-
cial and business. as well as social circles
over the reported defalcation of City Treas
urer Thomas AIworthy.
Mr.. Axworthy left the city on September
2sth, going direct to New York City, from
which he is said TO have left for Montreal on
September 29th.
Investigation 30 far, developes a shortage
of ely funds of over 1888 600, and it is
thought that further investigation will in
crease the amount.
Axworthy's bondsmen, consisting of Uni
ted States Senator Payne and j. Ii. Ward,
Jr., who are on his bond for $500. 900, had a
hurried meeting at the Office OF Attorney Es-
tey, Dickey & Squire about midnight last
night, ard attachments were immediately
taken out, one for $500, 900 and the other by
the National Bank of Commerce for s25 900
to secure themselves on Axworthy's property.
All Axworthy's property in the city con-
sisting of large amounts of real estate and
lake vessels were also attached and garnish-
ments were served on all local banks where
city and personal money was on deposit and
on the numerous firms in which the default
ing treasurer is interested. He was consid-
cred very wealthy and rated by those in a
position to know at over half million
1t is now learned that Axworthy fed to
to Europe. A cablegrsIa known to have
been from him, was received by one of his
married daughters on Saturday last, dated
Liverpool which read Papa is in Canada.
Tell Mamma not to worry. full investga-
ton of the city treasurers accounts has been
made, which shows there should be TO the
credit of the city departments, SS76,S77, to
offset which there is in the banks here,
SAT- ,450, making a deficit of S429, ,437. 1t
is rumOred this afternoon that just before
leaving, Axworthy drew 100000 from the
American Exchange in New York which is
the depository of the city funds.
Not So Bad After All.
1t is believed that Axworthy's vessel prop
erty and real estate will make nearly half a
million and his bondsmen are secured. The
city will probably lose nothing, as the bonds

The electric orgau that has been looked
Tor so long by Kennedy & Co No. 7l9
Market street, came a. last on Saturday
aud was brought up from the depot aud
placed in their largr aud handsome music
warerooms. 1t is Farrol q Votey gan
built at Detroit, Mich.
Mr. s Votey, one of the firm, came
on and connected the electric appliances
and gave REPUBLICAN reporter a sur
p.ise In the easy manner in which he
manipulated this wonder OF the 10Th CEN
ry In the organ line 1t is encased in q
handsome split antique oak case, well
polished in oil, and the design being
some hing pretty and odd, but very at
tractive to the eye.
The organ can be taken apart without
the aid OF screw-driver or hammer.
II rs built so that If anything gets wrong
with the instrument, which rarely hap
pens, the part can be got at in min ute's
time by pressing ON a spring bolt, when
prestol the front drops out In your hands.
This organ is the sixth OF It's kind built
by this firm, and the only one on fast.
They are manufacturing a large one
which, when finished, will be placed in
Kennedy & Co.'S. store In Philadelphia.
Mr.. Votey said It would be the hand
soonest one, when finished, that they had
thus far turned out OF their factory. The
organ is two manual organ with pedals,
the blowing process being done by
an electric motor, the power being one
dith as much as an incandescent light
takes, making the expense very light for
motor power. The usual balance swell is
played at the right of the player. The
motor power is placed at the left of the
player, and is turned off and on by q
switch key. The bellows are worked by
q G. & O. electric motor In the cellar.
The current, when not in use, when
turned on can be turned into q reducing
coil and the motor seli-regullting. 1t is
a good piece of work and reflects great
credit upon the ingenuity of Mr.. Votey,
the young aud enterprising organ man OF
the West Mr.. Votey on being asked by
the reporter II bis partner, Mr. Farron,
was young man ike himself replied
"Yes, sir. And do you know TIC !
young men arc the ones who are getting
there nowadays. Certainly their organs |
are the finest toned and the simplest in /
now on the market, and |
Kennedy & Co. would not handle any |
other but this make, as they are selling |
nearly as fast as they can get them ship |
ped from the facto'y. Call and see this |
wonderful electric organ, and see II |
newspaper mea do not always tell the
truth"

special correspondence Of the Repub icau,
DOVER, Dec. 3l.-The two h uses OF
the General Assembly meet for orgapiza-
tion tomorrow. The caucuses viii Ne
held this evening. For speaker of the
Senate the candidates are Ferguson aud
Crossan of New Cast e, Lewis OF Kent
and Dorman OF Sussex, and the csndl-
dates Tor the clerk of that body are VIM.
+. SmAlley, John Duncan and Abraham
vandegrift Of New Castle County; Frank
NJ. Iunn, William G.. Kerbin, John ID.
Hawkins and William II. Hobson of Kent
county; X. e. White and John GRAY OF
sussex county. Predictions as 10 the
outcome OF the caucus would be wild.
ANY combination may be made a. The
| last moment that would upset anv slate
determined upon now. From present in.
| dicatioLs It looks as If Dorman and
smalley have the best show of being the
next officers
If there is uncertainty In the Senate,
thtre is still greater uncertainty as to the
outcome OF the House caucus. The can
didates OF the lower branch of the State
Legislature are John Ii. Hoffecker. of
Kent County, Charles II. Maull and Nc
h"ndree Downham, OF Sussex County.
Hoilecker is backed by the Massey in
huence the fact that he is known as a
dis.inctively Massey candidate NAV lead
the other candidates for Senator to con-
centrate their forces upon one of the two
other csudida'es for Speaker from Sussex
County.
Those desiring to be clerk of The House
are Horace Greeley Knowles, of Whining
ton and Ben ah Watson and Henry i
Hinson, of Kent County; William A. Gum
and j. Frank Bacon, OF Sussex County,
Knowles chances Tor the position are very
god.
There are great many things being
USED In his favor. He has. through seV
eral campaigns, stumpsd both of the
lower counties and to his efforts in A
large degree is due the victory in Sussex
Gum is his main opponent and his frlends
claim for him eight votes.
Bacon is young man whose conceit
has won for him the name of Verden
Green In Delaware Repablicanism; few
speeches male by him in the late cam
palgn has made it necessary for him to |
purchase larger sizei hats. The members |
from Sussex have been bored out of every |
thought OF supporting him. He is not In |
this night. Hinson is making a hustllug
light Tor he position and has already cor
raled some votes.
From tomorrow the fight for Senator
VIII commence In earnest. Here in
Dover Everybody is foc Massey, but in the
coanty outside of Dover there are a num-
Der of strong Higgins men, and 1t is
thought he will receive at least two OF the
votes OF the Kent county members.
Loft md and Treat will receive no sup
tort In this county. II Sussex Higgins
has the most frienls. His friends claim
Tor him four votos. Treat has two votes
promised him, but they is both likely to
be against him when the caucus Is held.
Massey has one sure vote and Lonand
fetls pretty sure OF one. II.

The Lancaster Examiner of Thursday
tells the following: On Wednesday a
gentleman named Correll was passin q
through Bollinger's woods near Lititz
with his dog and gun. In making his
way through the underground the hun
ter started a strange looking animal, of
large size, Mr., Correll gave chase TO
the fleet quadruped which climbed trees
with wonderful swiitness and agility,
and on reaching the top would leap
from the dizzy heights TO the ground
and then speed away again, enacting
the same tree-climbing and jumping
performances. Mr.. Correll and his dog
Were compelled to give up the chase,
but the hunter went TO Lititz and
spread broadcast the story of the strange
animal. A number of gentlemen vol
unteered their services 20 NO ON the hunt
for the tree-iumping beast, and mum
bur started in the search with guns and
dogs. The animal was again started
and it astOnished its pursuers by its
marvellous climbing and leaping. The
animal was chased from Bollinger's
woods 10 Brahms woods, about three
miles from Litit8. IL mounted a tall
tree, and the hunters closed in. Seye-
raj shots were fired at the furry body in
the upper branches, aud finally il came
tumbling 10 the earth, dead. Nome i'm
the party could tell what the animal
was. 1t was critically examined, but
no result arrived at. II was brought TO
Lancaster last evening and given in
charge of George Flick, the German
street taNidermist, for mounting. The
animal has the appearance of a wild eat
or CatamOunt.
