H4RMoNY FOLLOWS STRIFE.



Averteh by Resignation.
The strife occasioned by the election
of Daniel Green of Newport com
mander of the Department of Delaware,
G. A. r., ceased Monday.
His elevation to the office occurred at
New Castle in February last and his
election was holly contested by William
T. Hopkins Of Milford. Both candi-
dates had an almost equal number Of
supporters and the election was one of
the liyelicst in the history of the depart
ment. The ballots cast numbered 1b1.
During the count two ballots were
found together. They undoubtedly got
in that position accidentally since the
number of ballots and the number of
voters correspondent. When these two
particular ballots were discovered they
were laid aside, Mr. Green's supporters
declaring that they should not be
counted then, Without them the vote
resulted III rs ballots for Mr.. Green and
"a for Mr.. Hopkins, Immediately after
| this result had been announced the
Green men decided that the two ballots
| which had been laid aside should not be
counted and Mr.. Green was pronounced
elected, He ~ once assumed the duties
Ut the Office and thenccforth the depart
4 mcnt was in danger Of being disrupted.

Comptroller Lacey Makes IA Detailed Re
port of the Keystone National Bank
Suspension.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 11.-Mr.
Lacey, comptroller of the currency has
completed the proportion of his report
in regard to the Keystone National
Bank of Philadelphia, and will submit
it to the President this afternoon or to-
morrow.
II is n very long and exhaustive docu-
mcnt and gives a detailed and circum-
stantial account of the comptrollers
actions in the matter, together with the
reports received from the examiner in
charge, on which such action was
mainly based. The President will trans
nit II TO the mayor Of Philadelphia as u
full and complete response TO the reso-
buttons Of the common council
Comptroller Lacey will not appear
before the local committee conducting
the present investigation in Philadelphia
the authorities here having agreed that
it would be establishing u bad precedent
to allow anybody other than Congress
TO investigate federal officials and to
have access to the efficient records of
the government.
II is expected that the comptroller's
report will supplysall the investigations
in that officers possession required by
the committee conducting the municipal
investigation.
An important fact in connection with
the investigation that does not appearto
be generally known is that Bank ES-
aminer Drew has been suspended from
duty pending the result of IN imvestiga-
ton into his administration, and has
been instructed to examine no more
banks in the district for the present.

PHILADELPHIA, June l6.-Report of
experts who have been trying to dis
cover the use made by Bardsley of
S4l5,000 that he embezzled from public
funds was made public to-day.
Report shows that the S25, 42s. 23 en-
bcZzlcd from the school appropriation
OF 1890 was used by Bardsley to make
up an overdrawn balance TO his account
in the Keystone Bank Of Tl5,026.30
Against balance remaining, he subse-
quently drew checks of SAC 900 for the
year 1891. l}ardsley used 100000 to re-
pay the amount that he had taken from
the highway account, and 1924, 900 of
the money was used to pay money due
the state; $4,000 was loaned to persons
who figures on stub of Bardsley's check
book as G, 4. H.; $4,000 appears to
have been used by Bardslcy to repay u
loan Of 100000 made him by Third
National Bank on December 31st, 1890,
loan being secured TO bank by collat-
tcral note of Glendenning q Company
stock of Metropolitan Traction Com
pany.
City Solicitor Warwick to-day filed a
bill in equity against Bardsley to re-
cover hitherto unknown asset of his,
consisting of $50 shares of Chicago,
West side railway, valued at 100000,
which is in the vaults Of the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank The bank also
claims stock, as they have items against
BaTdslcy.

The experts appointed by5Philadelphia'

ported 10 him Friday that for the
school year ending June Both, 1891, John
Bardsley received from the state, on
Decemher3lst, 1880, school funds amount
ing TO 5000 No part Of this, the experts
say, has been paid into the city treasury.
AS far as ascertAined, il appears that this
sum, together with n balance Of S25, 42S. %
in the year 1890, has been used by Rards-
ley, partly to repay money due by him to
the state and partly for his own purposes.
The experts say they will furnish later
report, showing specially the disposition
made by Bardsley of the money thus con-
verified. The mayor communicated this
information yesterday to the sub-commit-
tee of city councils finance committee, at
an executive session.
ii. ii. Yard, one of the directors OF the
Keystone National Bank, was arrested in
Trenton on Friday. The warrant was
issued on the affidavit of Taylor Faunce.
ono of the mayors experts, who alleged
that public moneys (about $20U,000) were
used by John Bardsley, in conjunction
with Yard, and loaned to various banks in
Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York
for the purpose of gain; that the interest
accruing on these loans, which were taken
out Of state moneys, was loaned by Bards-
ley in October, 1880, TO Yard, amounting
To S2,ll7.35; that Yard conspired with
Bardsley to place these public moneys at
interest, and that they did so place them at
interest contrary to law; that the interest
on these loans was state money, &c. Yard
entered $1,000 bail in Trenton to await a
requisitiun.

BEENE, June 15.-Further details re-
ceived from the scene Of the terrible
railroad accident which occurred yes
terday at a village near Bale, on the
Moenchenstein d. Bale railroad, shows
two engines and three carriages loaded
with excursionists fell into the stream
which flowed beneath the iron bridge,
which gave way and caused the disas-
ter. These carriages and engines now
form a shapeless mass of wrcckage be-
meath the bridge structure, and by its
own size prevented two other carriages
which were supported practically in the
air from falling, and still further in
creasing the number Of killed and
wounded.
At this hour so excursionists are
known to have been drowned though
many of the bodies have not been re-
covered yet, OF the large number of
persons injured many have suffered SO
seriously that it is considered likely that
their injuries will terminate fatally as
they consist of bad decorations and in
some cases limbs have been completely
severed. The bridge or viaduct which
collapsed and caused the accident had
only recently been built and had Just
been strengthened after sustaining dam
age by the rising of the river.
Until the bridge is rebuilt traffic over
this road goes via Mulhausen. Passen-
gers going to Moenchenstein arc using
the ordinary footbridge.
LATER-The total number of people
who lost their lives yesterday BY the
collapse of railroad bridge on the
Moenchenstein and Bale railroad is now
placed at 100, with hundreds more or
less injured citizens of Bale and its
neighborhood. Engineers who have
inspected the bridge since its collapse
say that iron work of the structure
alone gave way and that the masonry
work is intact.

great value, to wit, of the value OF
twenty dollars" as the legal document
describes il, and the latter brought an
action for trespass. In the case stated
as presented to the court, it was asked !;
That If, upon the facts above stated,
the court shall be Of the opinion that the

the defendant for costs; but if the court
shall be of the opinion that the said de-
PENDANT had not then the right to levy
