STOPPED COLLEOTISG.


In the Nous, ON Tuesday. ex-County
Collector John ]. Dougherty published
over his signature an advertising notice
readingas follows
The undersigned take, this mothod of in
forming the taxpayers Of the Northern district
Of the city OF Wilmington that, through tho
advice OF counsel, he will collect no more
county taxes after this date
This action is taken in view Of the dis
pute that has arisen over the right 81 the
late collectors to collect the taxes remain
ing on their duplicates after the passage
OF the. Five Commissioners bill 1t is
claimed by some lawyers that the bill
abolished the office of county collectors
entirely, while others contend that while
this is true it does not relieve the late col
lectors Of their financial responsibility for
the taxes remaining on their duplicates,
which they are bound to collect.
The other ex-colleetors of the county are
proceeding with their collections, as usual.
Meanwhile Mr.. L, G. Bradford attorney
of the levy court, is making a careful ex-
animation Of the bill, with view to pre-
pairing ali opinion for the court guidance.

handed back, and when Mr. Nields
reached for IL, the witness snatched it up
and said mo you don't"
When he concluded, Mr., Hoffeeker read
a number of letters which had passed be-
tween the parties, and showed that while
the goods were shipped promptly they
were not received in time to I'LL the orders
received by the Gapclle Company, and that
in consequence the Capclle Company re-
Fused 10 accept them or pay for them.
The plaintiff then closed, and Mr.. Nields
made the opening argument for the de-
Pendants. lie said that he would show
that these goods were ordered from the
Gapelle Company and that rs they did not
arrive in time they bad no use for them
He also claimed that lie would show that
At the time the plaintiffs claimed they had
shipped the goods Oh the Electric Line
there was no such line running, and also
that these locks were not only worthless,
bun dangerous
Edward y. Andrews, up0n being sworn,
testified TINT he has been IN officer Of the
Electric Line, and that no boats were run
70 this city after December lSs6 cpnsc-
quently the goods could not have been
shipped by that line, as alleged BY the
plaintiffs
Joseph w. Reybold, upon being sworn,
testified that he Il the yicepresidcnt Of tho
Capclle company AMI remembered when
the goods were ordered and received, they
were ordered IN duly, 1857, 10 ill an order
for contractor, hnt as they were not re.
ceived until September tic contractor got
tired of waiting and refused TO accept tho
goods; consequently, they were Of no use
q the Capellc company, and they shipped
them back to the lock company.
Frank r. GarswGl testified that the locks
are dangerous, and that any one using
them were liable to mash their hands. He
also said that it would be almost imDos-
sble to attach cords and weights to sash
with this device.
jacob d. Winslow, builder of IS years
experience, testified to the same effect and
was followed by J. b. johnson, another
builder, who agreed in all he had said.
At o'clock court took recess until
$50 O'Clock in the afternoon.

Unable to Appear at Hearing--To be
| Arrested Again--Marsh's Hiding Place
sim Undiscovered.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-City Treas
urer Bardsley's condition was still SC
serious this morning that he was unable
to appear before Magistrate Pole to
answer to charges of lnisappropriating
$4,000 of city money.
His counsel appeared and presented
physician certificate setting forth that it
would be dangerous to allow Mr.. Bards-
ley leave his bed at this time but stating
that he was improving and would prob
ably be able to appear in few days.
The hearing was continued until Fri
day next and bail was fixed at $25 900.
Whether Mr.. Bardsley succeeded in se-
curing bail or not the city authorities do
not propose to give him any opportunity
to escape but will keep him under close
surveillance until he has had hearing.
Mr.. Bardsley will probably be arrested
again to-day on charge of embezzling
state funds.
Attorney general Hensel came from
Harrisburg this morning with warrant
charging Bardsley with embezzling
$446,o00 Of the states money.
Mr.. Bardsley's counsel stated this
morning that some time to-day he
would give the public information Of
the due bills for 100000 which
Bardsley took from the Keystone Bank
and about which considerable mystery
has existed.
The expert accountants who are going
over the city treasurer's accounts, have
as yet discovered nothing further in
eliminating Mr. Bardsley.
The hiding place Of Marsh, the alb.
sconding president Of the keystone
Bank, is still unknown. The authori.
ties Of the town of Thurlow, Pa, think
that Marsh is in hiding at the hotel
here, but hesitate TO make descent
upon the house. The house is closely
watched.

VAS TINS AN 0TERSIGHE.
Council Can Bounce Either Leo or Hi



The new act of Assembly, popularly
known as the act legislating Bin Lee out
Of office" wipes out entirely section los of
the city charter and substitutes in lieu
thereof a new section empowering the
Board of Health to appoint its own secre-
tary who shall be also registrar Of births,
marriages and deaths. But section 1903 Of
the city charter remains unexpunged and
unaltered and reads as follows!
Soc. 100. The sad registrar shall keep n sep
hrate record Of DEATHS births and marriages,
with correct alphabet Of reference of every
name and page. The said registrar shall also
perform such other duties IA the Council shall
from tline 20 time direct, properly appertuin-
ing 10 his Office and shall be subject to removal
ny tho Council for Just cause. The said Cour
cil shall furnish the registrar suitable office,
aud also mud all necessary books, bl nks and
stationery.
While this section would warrant Conn
Gil in relieving the Board of HEATH. of tht
presence Of Mr.. Lee for .'iust ca,se.n
which could probably be found at Dover.
should the board itself have trouble in
getting rid of him, it would also seem
that the tenure of office of his sue
cessor would be also within the control of
Council to an extent that may embarrass
the board Taking new section los and
old section 100 together they appear to
provide that the Board of Health shall
appoint, but to vest i'll Council the sole
power of removal,

dent and cashier of the suspended Spring
Garden Bank, respectively, who were ar
rested last night on the charge of receiv-
ing deposits when they knew the bank
was unsound, was adjourned to Saturday
owing to the absence of important wit

morning, the most important of which
was that of William fisherman, who said
his deposit of $500 was accepted few
moments before the bank suspended,
HARRISBURG, May 22.-tiovernor Patter-
son sent communication to the auditor
general this morning asking to be in
formed at his earliest convenience of the
condition of the accounts of John Bards-
ley city treasurer of Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA May 22.-.rhe turmoil in
city affairs continues. City Treasurer
Bardsley made an assignment to-day for
she benefit of his creditors to Edward W.
Magill, the law partner of Robert Alexan-
der, Mr.. Bardsley's counsel. He had
already transferred to the Messrs, Dobson
his stock in the Bradford Mills as collateral
security for any sums which they, as
bondsmen, have to pay They are ON his
bond for 100000 to the city and Sl20,0O0
to the state, and from the present outlook
will have to pay the entire amount. The
most extraordinary thing about the whole
business is Mr., l}ardSley's admission that
he had $4,000 Of state money in the
Keystone National Bank, for which he
held due bills on the clearing house taken
during the last two years. These due bills
are good only on the day after issue, and
not then unless the issuing bank has
money to pay them deposited with the
clearing house The keystone had no
such money, and therefore the due bills
were not presented. Now they are like
second mortgage or claim on the banks
assets. The lepOsitors must be paid in
full before the due bills can be collected;
in other words, they are not worth the
paper they are printed ON.

but il is said he is being continuously fol.
lowed by detectives His assignment, in
which his wife Joins, includes about SO
houses, but they are heavily murtgaged
and the taxes on them have been inarrears
for several years. Mr.. Bardsley has been in
financial trouble since 1873, when he built

Hrs. Huntington Gives Her Story Of The
Suit Of Nine. Rowland

New YORK, March e.-Mrs. c. P. Hunt
ington is not at all disturbed over the pub
licity given the suit brought by Mime. Row.
land. She talked freely about the case to-
day, saying: Il knew nothing about Mrs
Rowland until read some OF her advertise
ments. l did not feel interested in her COM
plexion remedies or lotions, as 1 have used
none, but 1 had been growing rather stout,
and you know what that means to
a woman. 1 presume every woman
in New York has tried it at one
time or another. l went to Nine.
Rowland, and received her treatment until
February 18th. | was supposed 10 go daily,
but did not. My mornings are very much
taken up and | missed a number of treat
ments. 1t was understood that If l notified
her that | could not come no charge would
be made, but IN case Of broken engagements
of course l expected to pay and agreed to do
so, although | don't think ! was there more
than fifteen simeS-certainly not more than
twenty. On several occasions | notified her
that l could not come. For this course she
has charged me $500. You can readily see
the abSurdity and utter unreasOnableneSs Of
the situation.
Rowland advertses that her charges are
So for single Treatment, and thai when
course is taken the price is redu ced in pro-
portion. There Is Il sign in her rooms to
the effect that certain course OF massage
treatment ranges in price from 500 TO $500.
l took it Tor granted that she would charge
me what she charged others. So, when she
handed me my bill l did not even look
at it until l reached home. Then you can
imagine my astonishment when L saw the
amount. l gave the bill to Mr.. Huntington,
of course, ana lie said it was entirely un-
reasonable and that he did not think he
would be justified in paying it. l left the
matter entirely IN his hands l was usually
there about 4, and | am positive that never
remained longer than an hour and quarter.
The course may have benefited me, but dur
ing the whole time | had my own woman
give my face massage treatment every even
ing, so the efforts OF Rowland were not un-
aided "
