WILL NOT sEQUEsTER.
The Court Refuses to Further Har-
ass RardsIeY.


PHILADELPHIA, July u.-Judge Al
lison, in Common Pleas Court No. to-
day, filed an opinion of the court refus-
ing a writ of sequestration asked by the
city against John Bardsley. The petl-
ton of Edwin S. Stuart, mayor OF the
city of Philadelphia, prayed that VIII
of sequestration be granted against
John Bardsley, late city treasurer, with
a clause of attachment against number
of individuals and corporations therein
named, founded upon a statement that
ali examination of the accounts OF John
Bardsley shows that lie is a defaulter
to an amount not less than S445, 1850.
In the opinion, the court says: "a de-
fault in the cash account OF the late
treasurer is nowhere asserted, which
tends greatly to strengthen the assertion
of Bardsley that in that account there
was no default. and that the committee
after examination had found 1t to be
correct. We think it is misapprehen-
sion of the statute to cOnStrue 1t TO mean
that the proceedings by sequeStratlon
are authorized by wrongful acts of the
late treasurer, uncOnnected with MS
cash account. 1t the cash account is
found by the committee to be correct,
there can be no default therein aScer-
tanned or reported upon which the city
can make a lawful application for a
writ of sequestration, because 1t is the
ascertainment of such default only by
their own personal examination when
can support a proceeding like that
which we are now considering, and this
is so because the act of 1854 does not au-
thoriZe the writ to issue against a county
treasurer for any other cause. We re-
fuse for the reasons stated to issue the
writ for which the city has presented
its petition"
Lawyer Alexander, counsel for Bards-
ley, bias notified President Bell, OF the
Farmers and Mechanics bank, not to
honor any checks drawn DO City Treas
urer Wright and State Treasurer Byer
on the account standing to the credit of
John Bardsley in that institution. If
the bank officials act in accordance with
the notice sent by Mr.. Alexander, it will
nullify the decision reached at the con-
ference of state and city officials at
Treasurer Wright's office on Thursday.
1t was then determined that 1nasmuch
as the city and state each had an inter
est IN the money which Mr.. Bardsley
had in the various banks. all checks
upon those accounts should be jointly
signed by the state treasurer and city
treasurer. 1t was thought that in this
way the money could be drawn from
the bank and both the city and state get
its share of the funds. Mr.. Alexander
claims that Mr.. Bardsley still has an
interest in the money. He is emitted
to a commission for the collection of
large share of it, and Mr.. Alexander
thinks he ought to be given credit for
it, so that 1t would lessen his fine of
S267, 900 by that amount.

THE AMERICAN END.
Emmett and Kelly Issue Another
Address.

New YORK, July 1.-THE National
Federation of America, organized to
aid the merule movement in Ireland,
issued to-day the following address:
ITO the Friends of Home Rule for Ire
land: a grave danger to the Irish cause
compels US to address you on the present
occasion. Mr.. Parnell can no longer be
regarded as possible leader OF the Irish
movement. The people of Ireland must
lay aside forever hero worship
and one-man leadership" The ad-
dress. continuing, denounces Parnell,
political blunders, his hostility
to that powerful party IN England
which, under the express promises of
Mr.. Gladstone, is sOlemnly pledged to
give home rule to Ireland; his intOler-
ant bearing towards the majority of the
Irish parliamentary party; his insults
to the venerable ecclesiaSticS; his cold
hearted treatment of the evicted ten
antry in locking up 100000 idly in the
bankers vaults Of Paris"
In conclusion the address says: 1--WE
are on the eve of general election. 1t
is conceded on all sides that the Ques-
tion of home rule will be settled favor
ably or adversely by this election Tor
another generation at least. We
therefore invite all who sympathize
with the cause to- lend their as
sistance: to enroll freely in the
Irish national federation. We ask that
the representative of the people be
faithfully sustained by every unWRver-

an opportunity of performing the last

MiSfortunes Of Many Kinds
Affliet People in Country

ST. 1GNACE, Mich, July 11.-One of
the most destructive forest fires which
has ever swept through the Northern
peninsula is raging between Marquette
and this city along the line of the Du-
luth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad.
For hundreds of miles nothing can be
seen but one mass of flames, and the
density of the smoke is so pronounced
that the beaming sun appears like a
leaden ball. Railroad officials have large
crowds of men stationed along the
track, battling against the fire, but the
flames are quickly gaining headway. 1t
is feared the track will be destroyed,
In many places between Newberry and
Seney the small bridges crossing little
creeks are now burning. At several of
these places to-day the train was COM
PEELED to stop in order to eX-
tinguish the fires. The telegraph
poles have been burned down and
the wires rendered useless. The
general loss will aggregate we'll into the
thousands. Some of the small villages
along the railroad track are in danger o.
being wiped out. 1t is feared that
several loggers along the banks of the
Tahquamanon and Fox rivers have lost
their lives.
Sault Ste. Marie reports welcome
rain has stopped the flames in that
vicinity.
EsCANABA, Mich, July 11.-Forest
fires are still doing great damage across
the bay from this city. In Bay Denoc
township, this county, number of set
tiers have lost all but their homes, and
they are not out of danger yet. The
crops in this township have been COM
pletely destroyed, and all the cedar,
pine and standing hardwood has been
destroyed and is total loss. There is a
movement on foot in this city to start
fund for the relief of the sufferers.

the rest declared in favor of sustaining
Chairman Finley. The Gould lines
seemed to lead the opposition to the Al
ton, and there were those who thought
they saw in this scheme on
the part of Jay Gould himself to
force the Alton into position from
which it can only escape by joining the
Western Traffic association. The re-
port has been current for a week that
Mr.. Finley's course throughout has
been dictated by the presidents of the
lines in the latter association for the
sole purpose of coercing the Alton
management into signing the presi-
dents agreement. This, however, is
emphatically deEied by Mr.. Finley.
As matters now stand it is difficult to
see how the present state of affairs can
be remedied. ChairmOn Finley ruled
this morning that 1t was not in order
for the association to either reverse or
affirm his decision, because the Alton
had not appealed therefrom. The AL
ton refuses to take an appeal, be-
cause it denies that the chairman
had any authority in the first place to
order the advance in rates between st.
Louis and Chicago, and there the mat
ter rests. In the meantime the prlvi-
leges of member of the Western Pas
Senger association are denied the Al
ton, and that road can now apparently
proceed to take care of Its passenger
business in any manner that suits ITSELF,
untrammeIed by any agreements with
competing lines.

PERILS OF SAILORS.
Escape From shipwreck and Can
uibals

PHIPPsBURG, Me-, July H. Capt.
Joseph Perry, of the barkentine The
Hustler, has just arrived home from a
long sea voyage. The Hustler was
launched in Bath last November and
sailed for Philadelphia light, thence fol
Seattle with a cargo of iron pipe. While
going round the Horn bad weather was
encountered, and the vessel was wrecked
on a sunken rock in Nassau bay, forty
miles west of Deceit island. The crew
left In the boats with nothing but what
they stood in, aud rowed to an
island ninety miles distant on
which there was missionary
station called Ushurvia, with several
English missionaries, and a station for
the relief of shipwrecked crew kept
by the Argentine Republic, which also
sends its prisoners there. The captain
says that five of the men who started
across the country from Sandy
Point, bound for the missionary
station were captured by savages,
bound to trees and fires built around
them, when one of the men managed to
get his hands free and drawing a re-
volver shot one of the Indians, which
so frightened the rest of them that they
ran and the men escaped. After having
spent twenty-five days in this locality
they left for Buenos Ayres; thence they
went to Southampton, Englsnd, from
there to New York and thence home to

TEXAS FARMERS.
Ringing Resolutions Put Forth on
Live TODiCS.

Live Topics.
Fort WORTH, Tex, July 1.-THE
anti-subtreasury state convention of the
Farmers Alliance to-day adopted the
following resolutions, having national
bearing:
Resolved, That we denounce the sub
treasury and land loan schemes and
governmental ownership OF railroads as
a violation of the first principles of good
government, as paternal in character,
as centraliZing in their tendencies, and
if enacted into law they would create
such a horde of OfficeholderS as
would fasten the clutches of the party
in power upon the throats of the people
so strongly that the voices Of the hon
est, patriotic citizens would no longer
be heard in the control of government
affairs. We demand that those men
who are not farmers be removed from
the national and state offices
OF our order and none but those who
have their interest in farming be al
lowed to fill such places. We now ap-
peal to all honest members of the ALI
ance throughout the United States to
unite with us in putting down this CON-
mon enemy and disgrace of our order.
To this end we most earnestly recon-
United States to meet in national con-
Vention in ST. Louis on the third Tues
day of September, 1891.
Resolved, That we most heartily in
dorse the course of Hon. u. S. Hall,
president of the State Alliance of Mis-
souri,. in refusing to concur in the ac-
tiOn on the case of McCune at Ocala, in
opposing the subtreaSury scheme, etc.
We earnestly pledge Hall our support
in his noble and manly effort to rid the
order, both state and national. of all
such actions which will retard its
strength for the ultimate trial.
ToPEKA, Kan, July II. - Alliance
leaders in Kansas are greatly charinged
and worried at the action of certain
leaders of the Southern Alliance in call
ing the Fort Worth, Tex, convention to
resolve against the sub-treasury idea.
They claim that it is a SCENE of
Southern Democrats to break up
the Alliance, and that prominent
Democratic congressman are at the
bottom of it. The Kansas leaders fear
this action is but the beginning of a
movement that will disrupt the organi-
Zation in Kansas, as thousands of Re-
publicans who affiliated with the Peo-
pies party last year would follow the
course of their Southern brethren and
go back to their old party.

HOPPERS CAUSE RUIN.
Sections of Colorado Are Devas-
tated by Them.

TOPEKA, Kan, July ia reporter
of the Topeka Democrat, who was sent
to investigate the reports that grass
hoppers were swarming in the eastern
part of Colorado, telegraphed his pa
per to-day that there had been
no eXaggeration of the facts. Crasshop-
perS are Swarming in innumerabe num-
bers over a section of the eastern part of
the state and are destroying every green
thing above ground. They cover an
area of about 400 square miles with Bowl
ma as its center. Trains passing
through that section are seriously
delayed every night by the
grasshoppers, who swarm upon the
rails after the sun has gone down and
the air cools off. As the engine passes
over them they are mashed into a
greasy substance, which prevents the
revolution of the driving wheels. The
grasshoppers are of a small, wingless
kind. Next year they will have de-
veloped into the winged variety, and
then there will be a return of the plague
of 1874 and 1875,

FOILED BY CHANCE.
Clever Ruse of Thieves to Rifle
Safe.

ST. LOUIS, July ia daring and
peculiar attempt at safe robbery took
place yesterday morning at $500 Gravois
avenue. Adolph Won Gehr, real
estate agent, has an Office at that num-
ber. He is also treasurer of a building
and loan association, and yesterday
morning there was in the safe about
$500 belonging to the ASSOCIATION and
several thousand dollars worth of valu-
able papers. Shortly after o'clock
Won Gehr left his Office in charge of
boy and started down town. A half
hour later a wagon drove up to the
office and two men alighted and entered
the office. They told the boy they had
come to take the safe away to have the
combination lock changed. The men
had pushed the safe to the door, when a
neighboring saloonkeeper, knowing
that Won Gehr had a considerable
amount of money! in the safe, demanded
that the men produce an order for its
removal. An officer was called, and
after telling the men to return to the
parties who sent them and secure an
order for its removal, allowed them to
depart. Later it was learned that the
men were not in the employ of the safe
manufacturer and that their mission
was to steal the safe.

FORESTS ON FIRE.
Life and Property in Danger of
Destruction.

SAULT STE. MARIE, July 1.-THE
entire wooded portion of Chippewa
county and the Canadian territory north
of it are OH fire. Settlers are being
burned out, and everybody is fighting
the flames. Detour, Bay Mills, Gales
vile, Raber, Wellsburg, Scammon Cove
and many other places are in imminent
danger. At Detour the people have
their household effects packed ready to
take to Lake Huron by boat. There has
been no rain for over three months, and
the country is in similar condition to
that during the dreadful fire of 1878,
when hundreds of people perished all
through the north. The sun is OBJ
scured, breathing is difficult, and so
dense is the air with smoke that ST..
Mary's riveris navigated with difficulty,
resulting in the grounding of five boats.
The inhabitants Of the burned and adj
joining districts are at work fighting
the flames, but are making little head
way. Unless rain comes to their aid the
damage will be enormous,

German emperor in England, adopt a
remarkably guarded tone and avoid all
reference to an alliance with England
as an accomplished fact. These papers
simply re-echo the emperor's speech at
Guild hail.
Thus, the North German Gazette re-
marks that the emperOr's utterances at
Gulldhall coincide completely with the
industrious and energetic people of
Great Britain in favor of the mainten-
ance of peace.
The independent papers criticise the
emperor's reception as emphasizing the
friendly sentiments of England towards
Germany and towards the emperor, as a
relative of the royal family, without be-
ing popular Endorsement of the policy
of Lord Salisbury.
The Freisinnige Zeituug holds that
the general character of the celebra-
tlons in honor of the emperor, and es-
peclally those of the court and govern
ment, accordingly must be taken as an
open declaration of England's adhesion
to the dreibund. Articles in the Rus
sian and French press, illustrating the
intensity of the irritation felt in Rnssia
and France towards Engl and, are
largely quoted.

Haunts of a Daring Robber Found

IsLIP. L. L.. July 1.-Nearly 200
men armed with shotguns. rifles and re-
volvers, secured the woods and swamps
north of here yesterday for Tom Rich
ardson, who has recently held the
country in terror by his bold robberies.
They failed to catch the robber. but dis
covered two cunningIY constructed
caves in which he has concealed the
booty Of numerous robberies and in one
of which, it is supposed, he wished to
cage his wife after he succeeded in alb
Quoting her forcibly from her fathers
home, where she fled for refuge some
months ago. This cave was furnished
Ill comfortable and almost luxurious
style, and was evidently intended for
long occupancy. The most significant
thing in this strange residence was a
chain securely fastened to stake firmly
driven into the around. These prepar-
ations for securing prisoner led to the
belief that his wife was his intended
victim. The hunt for Richardson will
be continued.
