Ex.Treasurer Burke Implicated
Fraudulent Bond Transactions

Ex.Treasurer Burke Implicated In
Fraudulent Bond Transactions.
New ORLEANS, September 26.-The
statement of the Cashier of the State
Treasury that during Treasurer Burke's
term he had called Burke's attention in
1885 to the fact that coupons had been
presented of bonds supposed to have
been destroyed, was caDled to Major
Burke in London. Burke has replied.
telling how apparent discrepancies might
exist, and says he Is now tied down by
his business in London, but when he can
get away will sail for Louisiana. Il ia
understood that Judge Marr will charge
the Grand Jury next week to investigate
the matter, and bring indictments against
those found to- have been engaged in
placing invalid securities on the
market. Judge Stansbury, who was
for some time engaged with Burke
in a business capacity, has made a
statement showing that he negotiated
loans for Burke at different times
amounting to thousands of dollars, al.
ways depositing as collateral bonds
handed him by Burke for that purpose.
In comparing the numbers he handled
then with those now published, he finds
that ameDg the bonds handled by him
were fraudulent ones aggregating nearly
$40, 900. He had no doubt of their va
lidity until the recent disclosures. Stans-
bury's statement, which is made on the
advice of his attorney. shows that
Burke, as far back as 1884, was using
bonds then in his keeping az State
Treasurer as collateral In borrowing
money for his own use.

PrrrsBURa, September 26.-At Car
negie's Edgar Thomson Steel Works at
Brsddock tonight, furnace @, one of the
largest of the blast furnaces, gave way at
the bottom, and tons Of molten metal,
like water escaping from q reservoir, ran
out. The furnace had not been working
properly during the day, and Captain
Jones, General Manager Of the works
called tonight to see if he could ascertain
the cause. He was working with num-
ber Of men near the base of the furnace
when the break occurred. In an instant
the flames shot forth and the hot metal
exploded and fell like sheets of water.
That any one escaped inetant death il
marvellous.
Captain Jones is horribly burned, and
his physicians are unable to state tonight
whether he will live or not.
Michael Quinn was so badly burned
that his flesh has peeled of. He can.
not live. John Mokake was badly
burned about the body. Ned Quinn was
badly burned about the chest. Two OF
three other workmen, whose names it is
impossible to get tonight, are severely
injured and may not recover.
Captain Jones is we'll known through
out the United States and Europe wher
ever iron and steel is manufactured.
LATER-The names of the other work
men who we're burned are Patrick
Hughes, Michael Conner and Johr
Needen. Michael King, a Hungarian
was present when the seething mas.
poured out of the furnace, and as'he can
not be found it is feared be has beer
covered up. About six carloads of molter
metal poured out of the break. The ter
rible rush of liquid steel knocked Jonel
down in the pit. Fortunately he fel
between two trucks, or he would have
been burned Instantly. When removed
from the pit his clothing had been en-
tirely burned from his body. The loss tt
the company will be quite heavy.
At midnight Captain Jones is resting
easy. The physicians say he will re-
cover. Two others will die.

Is THERE q change coming over the
dreams Of American bankers? A few
years ago Bankers Convention would
have hooted down anyone who seriously
proposed recommending to Congress the
passing Of an act for the free coinage Of
silver; but at the Convention now in
session in Kansas City, President st
Jehn, of the Mercantile National Bank,
made such proposition and wss
listened to respectfully. 1t is possible
that American bankers are waking up to
the fact that bi-metalism will soon be-
come q necessity to the preser-
vation of the National banks.
United States bonds have ad-
vanced 30 materially that it becomes
quite problem with the banks whether
it pays to buy them at . premium Of
nearly thirty cents on the dollar and de.
post them with the Government at the
rate Of 90 cents on the dollar to guarsn-
tee the payment of each dollar Of bank
notes issued. They are beginning to see
that the per cent. interest they draw
on the face of the deposited bonds that
cost them 130 is "paying too much for the
whistle" and they are probably striking
out to find another basis OF credit that will
come cheaper. If, as they have heret, J.
fore held, the free coinage Of silver would
pile up that metal in immense qusnti
ties in Uncle Sans vaults, they
perhaps now see that this stu
pendous fund can be made in some way
to take the place of bonds as guarantee
for the issue Of bank notes. Nor is the
scheme without practical merit. Silver
certificates, as basis OF bank credit de-
posted with the Government, would be
|just as safe as bonds, and if feasible
plan were formulated, and the bankers
should back it, bi-metslism would be
restored to the country perhaps quicker
that way than by any other process that
could be devised. The first step toward
that wished.for contamination would be
the free coinage of silver. The Pacific
Coast States would be found to stand
pat on this proposition, and if American
bankers are forced into the ranks of the
[silver advocates by stress which the
premium on United States bonds is con
stsntly tightening, the mining interes 81

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, September ga
special from Decatur says: The vicinity
of Houck's Postoffice is in state of ex-
citement over the confession of brutal
murder by Tom Haywood, negro.
About year ago Thomas Williams, the
mail carrier between Houck's and this
city, was murdered by an unknown per-
son. A few nights ago Thomas Hay
wood, who lived on Mrs. Williams'
place, went to her house and presenting
q revolver, demanded that she sell her
place, fee with him to the North and
there marry him. She apparently con.
nted to his demands, and he returned
to his quarters, elated at his success,
threatening to kill her if che told any
one. Haywood confessed to her having
killed her husband. Mrs. Williams in
formed the neighbors as soon as possible.
but Haywood was warned in some way
and fed. If caught he will be lynched.

THE Sacramento Record Un;on tells 9
story about big pumpkin that was on
exhibition at the State Fair. It seems
that the enormous" size of the exhibit
attracted the attention of prominen,
6acramentan who went into ecstasies
over it, and never got tired pointing II
ont to everybody as an evidence of the
wonderful growing qualities of the soil
and climate Of Sacramento. We were
somewhat disgusted at the exultation o.
this exuberant Sacramentan when We
read that the pumpkin weighed 14s
pounds. Why, there is hardly one o1
the pompion exhibits at our Sixth Dis.
trict Fair that will not weigh more than
that, and there are several that kick the
beam at over 200. But to the story. II
seems that at the close of the Fsil
the mammoth pumpkin fell into
the possession of its delighted ad.
mirer, and he determined to
take it home. He called an express
wagon, and in spite of the great care that
he and the driver exercised in trying to
liftit into the vehicle, it slipped from them
and burst open on the sidewalk. Now
here's where the joke comes in. To the
CONSERVATION of the owner of the pump
kin he found that his prize, like Mark
Twain's frog, had been loaded with
buckshot, and therefore could not have
weighed honestly even 143 pounds. 1t
seems to US that the joke, instead OF
being at the expense of the man who
thought he had prize, was against
Sacramento; for the real logic of it is,
that not being able to raise pumpkin
that would be considered a remark able
product here, the Senators had to resort
to trick to bring it up to the weight OF
one OF the everyday pumpkins of Los
