EXPLAINS,
THE COMPTROLLER ON PHILA-
DELPHIAS BANKS.
HE DEFENDS MR.. WANAMAKER
Examiner Drew's Reports Were
Not Explicit Enough-Why
He Delayed in Appoint
ing a Receiver.
By National Press association.


WASHINGTON, June 15.-The statement
prepared by Comptroller Lacey and sent
to Mayor Stuart, of Philadelphia, on the
course pursued by him with the Key
stone Bank of that city, has Just been
made public here The statement in
cludes the letter of Bank Examiner Drew,
of Jan pa, notifying him of the 100000
defalcation of Lucas, the late president
of the bank.
In this letter Mr. Drew explains how
by adroit manipulation Of the accounts
of the bank, Lucas, with the assistance
of Marsh, the former president of the
bank, abstracted large sums of money
from the bank to use In real estate spec
ulation. Marsh, he reported, was ignor.
antly led into these transactions.
Accompanying this letter was prelim-
Inary statement of the banks condition
which left capital stock of half mil
lion intact and a net surplus of S55,S18.
Later on, January n, Mr.. Drew in an in
terview with, the Comptroller, stated that
the property conveyed to the bank by the
Lucas estate, was equal in value to the
indebtedness whi.h had been concealed.
Mr.. Lacey says he did not close the bank
full authority to do so upon the facts sub
mitted
In answer TO criticisms for delay in ap-
pointing a receiver, Mr.. Lacey says 1t
was not made Immediately because it
| was the duty of the Comptroller TO facili
tate the resumption of business by the
bank. The Comptroller states that Post
master-G General Wanamaker never d.
rectly ct indirectly suggested OF solicited
one days delay in the closing Of the bank
nor in the appointment of receiver, ex-
cept as appears by the following tele-
gram
"FtRoM PosToFFcE DEPARTMENT
"Hon Edward S Lacey, Comptroller.
"Mr. Marsh, of the Keystone Bank,
came down last night to say that 1t was
reported you intend to appoint receiver
| of the keystone Bank unless something
more definite was done to-day, believe
nothing would suffer from giving them
/ "a hours longer, at the end Of which they
may put on paper something more def
mite to be- presented to you. From what
he says they are getting along pretty
we'll in securing subscriptions to the new
stock. l would recommend the appoint
| ment of q receiver be deferred, say one
day, until he had m opportunity to state
something more definite.
John WANAMAKER"
In concluding the statement Mr., Lacey
says
IL deem it my duty TO say that, IN my
opinion, the several reports made by the
bank examiner did not reflect the true
condition OF the bank. The degree Of
blame, if any, which properly attaches to
Mr.. Drew, is yet to be ascertained.
"He has recently been so fully employ
ed, by reason of the failure Of the Spring
Garden and Keystone National Banks
that It has as yet been impracticable &c

THE CITY OF RICHMOND HAS
A VERY CLOSE GALL.
ASSISTANCE QUICKLY ON HAND
During the Excitement a Captain
of the Vessel Drops Dead-The
Burning Steamer Escorted
to Queenstown.

QUEENSTOWN, June 15.-The steamer
Jervia, from New York, has just arrived
with pews of serious accident TO the
steamer City of Richmond.
At midnight on Thursday the Servia
sighted the City of Richmond flying sig
nails Of distress. On making inquiries,
the Servia learned that the cargo of the
City of Richmond was on fire. The
5ervia steamed slowly alongside the City
If Richmond until Browhead was sighted.
The fire had been discovered at mid
night Tuesday, when cabin passenger
noticed that the floor of his stateroom
was hot. He at once gave an alarm, and
Ihe crew was promptly aroused On eX-
animation smoke was found to be issuing
from the forehold. The smell indicated
that cotton was burning Steam and
water were injected into the hold and 1t
was supposed that the fire was Quencded.
About o'clock on Wednesday, on a
further examination being made of the
hold, three burning bales Of cotton were
found and taken out of the ship.
The steamship Counsellor, of New Or
leans, stood by until the Servia came.
When the steamship Counsellor came
alongside the City of Richmond the cap
tain of the Counsellor dropped dead on
the deck, and the chief officer took com
mand and remained by the Richmond.
1t was believed that the fire was sub
dued before reaching Queenstown, The
City of Richmond proceeded to Liv-
erpool.
Beyond a scare the passengers are all

knocks me

A HERALD reporter spent about FIVE
hours on the grounds Saturday. He found
over hundred workman engaged in lay
ing out race track in large field south Of
the erailway station and west of the camp
meeting grove, Gangs we're here and
there filing, digging and levelling the
track; another gang was working like
beavers on the grand stand; and third
striving every nerve TO get the fence up in
time for Pswnee BilPs great show. The
work had been commenced rather late in
the season and the task was a stupendous
one. But the contractors kept their mel
at work until midnight, Saturday, all day
yesterday and until late hour last night
and accomplished the undertaking.
The mammoth dancing pavilion with an
inolosed platform 60xSO feet is located
close to the Lakeside hotel, Work on it is
being pushed rapidly and the structure will
be finished in few days. The shooting
gallery will be located on the first floor OF
the structure and the basement will be
utilized for bowling alleys
The willow trees planted this spring are
growing nicely and will in due time add
greatly to the natural beauty of the place
A row has been planted on each side of the
wide walk leading from the railway station
to the boat landing and when the trees
have attained their growth this will make :
delightful promenade.

A. Note of Warming.

The Shenandoah Ne,0s' political letter
writer, who signs himself Jack Smith, re-
views the present political situation in the
last issue of that paper. He says that as
rth-of-the-mountain furnishes the greater
part of the Democratic vote it is entitled to
two of the four nominations. Pray and
what will he accord to our end which has
NO representatives on the Hill or at the
Almshouse, nor has had none for num-
Der of years, but the County Surveyorship
which none of them wanted2 We also
have some voters in this end who should,
we think, be recognized. - OqoigSburg

PECULIAR RAILWAY AFFAIR
A Body on a Track in Broad Day
light.


Two accidents, which are surrounded by
peculiar circumstances, occurred on the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad, neag
Mshanoy Plane, yesterday morning.
When the passenger train that leaves
Shenandoah at 7;48 a. m. on Sundays for
Mahanoy Plane was approaching the
depot of the latter place and wCs about 10
yards from it, the engineer was Mortified by
seeing the body of man lying on the
track upon which his train was running
He put on the brakes, but before he COZ Id
bring the train to stop the engine, tank
and first car passed over the body and
crushed it into shapeless mass 1t was
necessary to back the train to get the re-
mains from the track. The body was car
ried to the engine house at Mabsnoy Plane,
and there it developed that another man
had been killed, The mangled body of
the latter had been picked up on the rail-
road at 2 O'Clock yesterday morning
At first neither OF the bodies could be
identified, but subsequently the remains Of
the last one picked up was identified as
that of Polander residing at Fsk's patch
and the body was sent there
The second body had not been identified
up TO a late hour last night.
An examination Of the body sent t.
Fisk's patch showed conclusively that tn,
man was not killed by the train unde
which he was discovered.
Some think the train that killed the un
identified man also killed the other, but /
is remarkable that the body of the latte
should lie upon the railroad as near Msha
noy Plane and for several hours in broaC
day light without attracting attention be
fore a second train struck it.
1t is peculiar case and the Coroner will
very likely be urged TO make full inves
litigation,

PARNsLL'S MARRIAGE.


Take Place Next Week.
LONDON, June 15.-Intense curiosity
prevails as to when Parnel proposes to
marry Mrs. OShea. Rumors continue to
circulate that he will not marry her at
all; while, on the other hand, there are
equally confident rumors abroad that he
has married her already Both stories
are untrue
The fact "a that troublesome legal diff
culties at first cropped up, When these
were settled, Parnell found that the To-
cal clergymen had objections to raise
also. Though these are believed to be
frivolous and only dictated by political
auimus on the part of the clergymen, it
has taken some time to have them set
aside. An appeal has been sent to the
Archbishop of Canterbury.
Many delays must be overcome before
that appeal can be decided. It is expect
ed, however, that the wedding will occur
next week. When married, Psrnell in
tends to live the larger part Of each year
at his ancestral home in the County

mails used in the show greatly enhanced
the picturesque appearance Of this hereto
fore sleepy place.
Major Gordon Lille is thorough gem
tleman and his treatment of visitors is of
the most courteous and hospitable nature
There is nothing rough or desperado-like
about the conduct of himself or followers
and the discipline is perfect The show is
a great one and those who neglect to see it
will miss a chance Of life time.
May Lille is lovely little lady, bright,
vivacious, graceful and pleasing. She was
one of the most popular ladies in Pottstown
last week and was almost drowned with
flowers at every exhibition she gave. The
people went wild over her shooting. One
Of the greatest features of Pawpee Bills
Wild West is band of thorough cowboys
men, the greatest part of whose lives
have been spent on the backs of Mexican
mustangs and Texas bronchos roaming the
vast cattle domain in the far West, and
without whose aid the great and fertile
districts now studded with cattle ranches
would to-day be bowling wilderness, and
the eastern necessities Of the table, tan
yard and factory would be limited indeed
The spring of the year is the cowboys
harvest. During Round up many a
strong friendship is renewed and many
more made; the cattle for miles around are
brought together at certain point and
time by the ranchers, and each rancher's
cowboys are required to cut from this i'm
mense herd all cattle bearing his respective
brand OF brand, and drive to his rancho.
Then comes the branding. If a branding
shoot be not at hand, each animal has to be
assoed and thrown, then branded with "a
hot iron. Although little painful to the
animal at the time, yet it is the only way
| by which the owners can tell their stock
from the surrounding cattle. Pawnee Bill,
at great expense, has brought from the
plains of Texas and the Indian Territory, "a
picked band of the most scientific lasso-
| throwers and broncho riders, headed by
the famous plainsmsn Mustang Walter,
and at each performance they will lasso
and brand cattle, ride bucking bronchos,
pick up coins from the ground, mount and
dismount while their horses are running al
full speed. Their part Of the performance
is wonderful, and cannot be highly sppre'
ciated by all who witness it.
Parties purchasing railway tickets fol
Lakeside should make sure that a coupon
ticket of admission is attached, as th
assures fare and admission at reduced
rate and saves much trouble and incon'
venience.
The management has made arrangement
for full police protection. The East Maha
noy junction Land and improvement
Company is a regularly chartered organiza
ton and it has regular corps of specia
police, appointed by the Court, to protec
its grounds. Constable Teter, OF Rusl
township,is in command.

THE work of securing complete
enumeration of soldiers, sailors and
marines who served in the late war,
aud of the widows of the deceased
soldiers, ETC., was not completed DUR
ing the late census, as many soldiers
did not realize the Importance of the
work, and full records were not OBJ
tanned in many cases. In order to
make the work complete, the posts of
the G. A. r. will continue it, and will
receive cards from the census office
that will contain the necessary ques-
tions, Comrades in this vicinity
whose records were not fully or cor
rectly given, or not given at all, will
help in the work by applying to f. H.

1t is one of the most important
branches of the census work, and the
value that Bates history has been is
an indication of how useful volume
containing the records and addresses
of all the veterans in the country will
be. The work will include about
100000 names, and will make eight

this movement will be such as to rem
der it absolutely irresistsble 1t is in
this inevitable union of the south
and the west that we hope and con-
fde. Without it we confess nothing
but failure and defeat await us. Our
opponents recognize this and hence
their greatest efforts upon both sides
OF Mason and Dixon's line, are
directed to defeat of such union.
The combination of the two old par
ties in Kansas this year had for it's
main purpose to infict such defeat
upon the Peoples party as would dis
courage the south and prevent, if pos
sible, the dreaded abandonment 0f
the Democratic party in that great
stronghold. The effort will fail.
Notwithstanding the utter annihila-
ton of the Alliance and the Peoples
party have been heralded all over
the land, the actual result shown by
the vote is thoroughly understood by
the people, and the frantic efforts of
q corrupt press to deceive them will
have no effect. The day is past when
such falsehood and deception can be
successfully practiced upon intelli-
gent people.
