DISCREPANCY DISCOVERED.

The City Treasurer of Philadelphia Under
Arrest-His Accounts.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 23.-The affairs
of City Treasurer John Bardsley were
brought to a crisis by his arrest to- night at
his home, corner of Penn and Price streets,
Germantown. He is sick in bed and two
detectives are guarding the room in which
he lies. The expert accountants appointed
by Mayor Stuart to examine Bardsley's q
accounts, discovered discrepancy of %3O, :
0OO shortly before noon to-day. 1t is said
tonight that the discrepancy discovered is
in the treasurer's account with the Third
National bank, where the city's deposits
amounted to $780, OO0O. Within a month
Bardsley is said to have drawn $780,,
600 from the bank and appropriated
it to his own use. Other shortages may be
brought to light in further comparison
of accounts with the many bnnks in which
the city funds are deposited. The discovery
was made to-day that Bardsley's personal
deposit with the suspended Keystone bank
amounted to $606,000 1t is said the state
can not lose more than $250,O0O by reason
of Bardley's shortcomings.

Important Dram Shop Decision.

KANSAS C1Ty. May 23.-Judge Field, of
the circuit court. rendered very impor-
tant decision this morning, based on the
dram shop act of 1889. The case is in juno
tion with proceedings brought by adjoining
property owners to close a saloon. The judge
made permanent injunction restraining &
the saloon keeper from conducting dram
shop business. and the county and city
licenses held by him were declared void on
several grounds. Among them, failure to
secure a petition for issuance signed by a
majority of citizens living in the
block in which the saloon IL
located; failure to indemnify the
city and county against Sunday opening,
selling liquor to habitual drunkards. per-
mitting gambling. etc. An appeal was
taken. If the decision is sustained every
SALOON in the city will be affected and every

CINCINNATI, May ia thunderstorm,
with heavy rain, last night and lowering,
threatening clouds all forenoon, with cool
atmosphere, chilled tho hearts of many
race -goers, else Latonia would have
opened the first days races with an at

0OO. 1t was q pleasant after
noon however, and the track,
though slow. was better than if no rain at
all had bAllen. The feature was the Latonia
derby, the fourth race. Kingman came to
Latonia covered with laurels, but although
he was prime favorite last night there
we're doubts to- day whether he would hold
up on a heavy track. That doubt WAS dis
PEELED by the race. The derby was as fol-

in the rear. At the half the only change
was that Kingman was third as he pleased
and Allen Bane was last. At the three
quarters Dickerson led, with Georgetown
second, Kingman good third and Allen
Bane last, in a close bunch. On the turn
Kingman came the front at his leisure,
with Dickerson on his heels and Poet Scout
