posted in the Keystone Bank.
PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-Never has
such a scene ever before been witnessed
in any court in this city as that which
took place before Judge Wilson yester-
day. As the hour Of ~ approached the
court room was packed to suffocation,
and thousands of citizens lined the
streets in the vicinity. AT q few min
utes after 10 o'clock Judge Wilson en-
tered and Immediately afterwards Dis
trict Attorney Graham aud Assistant
District Attorneys Kensey and Ker
made their appearance and took their
seats within the bar. Then entered Ex-
perts Brown, Faunce and Barlow, who
took chairs close to the district attor-
new. Bardsley was brought up from
prison in o streetcar with sheriif's officers,
and upOn their arrival at court he inn
mediately adjourned to an ante-roOm
and consulted with his attorney, Robert
Alexander. 1t was decided to present
evidence to the court. Expert Brown
was put on the stand, hut his evidence
was disappointing to the prosecution.
He had not brought any books with him
and could give but few facts.
BardsIey Reads His Statement.
At 11,45 Bardsley began reading his
statement or confession to the court. 1t
is a defense of his own work, and is a
mass of figures. According to it he
makes out his deficiency to be but $685.
| S22. 81, which he says is fully covered by
| his assignment. He claims that the
missing 81 ,OOO,O 600 was deposited in the
keystone bank, and presented certain
| facts to substantiate the claim. Bards-
| ley's sentence was suspended pending
an investigation Of his statement by the
| court. He will be examined as wit
ness. Bardsley said he knew nothing of
| Postmaster General Wanamaker's trans
action with the Keystone bank, nor did
he have any dealings with that gentle
man. He had no thought of leaving the
city with fugitive Bank President
| Marsh. for if he had done anything
against the law he was willing to stand
the consequences. He stated positively
that he had deposited $045,000 of state
| money in the Keystone bank, and that it
had been testified to; that signatures on
due bills he received for this amount
! were genuine.

ST. LOUIS, June 24.-Domino Gin
nochio, Italian consul here. after investi-
eating the Chain Of Rocks riot, is Of the
opinion that the attack upon the Italian
laborers was with the object Of robbery
more than anything else. Many Of his
counlymen who were run out Of the
camp have informed him that laborers
of other nationalities assisted the Amer
leans in making the assault. He said
there was no need of making a great
bubbub over the affair. The laws would
protect the Italians and punish their
prosecutors. One Of the men badly cut
is at the city hospital. His wound is q
dangerous, though not necessarily fatal

A GI6ANTIU SUHEME.
A PLAN TO CONSOLIDATE ALL THE
COTTON DUCK MANUFACTURERS.

The Plan Contemplates the Formation of
n stsck Company with Capital of
from ss,OOO,oOO to $4,000, 900.
Likely 10 he ssttied Soon.
BALTIMORE, June 24.-The movement
TO effect consolidation Of the cotton
duck manufacturers Of the United States
is likely to be settled at an early day.
The plan contemplates the formation OF
q stock company with a capital OF from
80 900 900 to $40, 900, 600 and Will be SIM
liar to that of the cordage consolidation:
The manufactures of cotton duck IN ana
about Baltimore produce 66 per cent. OF
the total output of the United States.
There arc also mills at Lawrence,
Plymouth and Manchester, Mass, and
one in Georgia. The industry hece
gives employment to many thousand
hands.
VIII Locate in baltimore.
There will be one general Office, proba-
bly, located in Baltimore, which will
exercise q supervision over the working
of each factory and will consolidate in
its hands the financial operations of the
pool and attend to all contracting for
raw and manufactured material The
consolidation, it is claimed, will not
lessen the amount manufactured nor
affect the working capacity Of the mills.
Each mill will be given the work of
manufacturing duck of a specified width
and quality and the looms and ma
Chinery, once arranged, will continue in
that line. In.this way each factory will
be given separate work and competition
will be destroyed and alarge saving will
accrue. Another advantage urged by
those in favor of the consolidation is the
saving of Office expenses to each factory.
This will amount from $4,000 to $780,
900 annually.

THE MILLER REUNION.
An Enjoyable Time at the Residence OF
Isaac Cramer.-Officers Elected.

Isaac Cramer"officers Elected.
The descendants of Abraham Miller
now number about 1,5o0 souls, and the
family reunion, which was held June 13
was a grand success in every way. Abra-
ham Miller was born May II, 1749, in Mary
land. In 17S5 he moved to Blair county,
Pa, where, although he was a carpenter
by trade, he followed farming. In 1913
he moved to Ohio and settled in Stark
county, six miles north of Canton.
The reunion was held at the resi-
dence OF Isaac Cramer, one-half
mile west of Uniontown station.
There were present between
seven and eight hundred of the
descendants of Abraham Miller and to
say that the day was greatly enjoyed
would be putting II mildly. The day was
all that could be desired. The dinner
was beyond the standard of Miller reuu-
ions, and that standard is always high.
After dinner a regular programme was
carried out. An address by Lewis Miller
of Akron, on genersl topics and grades of
ages in the family was greatly enjoyed.
Elias Miller, of Canal Fulton also mads an
appropriate address. The election of
officers resulted as follows:
Presidedt, Philip Wagner.
Vice.President, Ira Miller.
Secretary, S. j. Miller.
Treasurer, Nelson Miller.
The standing committees are as fol-
lows:
First branch, Israel Lautzer.
Second branch, Philip Wager.
Third branch, William Miller.
Fourth branch, William Cassler.
| Fifth branch, Isaac Cramer.
Sixth branch, Josiah Weary.
Seventh branch, Elias Miller.
Eighth branch, Catherine Miller.
Ninth branch, Edwin Fouse.
On motion it was decided to hold the
| next reunion at Canal Fulton, on the sec
| ond Saturday in June, 1892.
