A Big Bridge Controversy.

NEW YoRK, June 1O.-The movement
on the part of Tammany, when, by
concerted movement, the presidency Of
the Brooklyn bridge was captured by
the election Of Alfred Wagstaff to sue
ceed James Howell, has received little
setback. Mr.. Howell fatty refuses to
vacate his office. He bases his claim on
the fact that Col. Wagstaf did not re-
ceive majority Of the votes of all the
trustees, as only nine out of seventeen
were present. This point was raised at
the meeting, but Mayor Grant, who pre-
sided, ruled that a majority Of all was
not necessary.

about twenty-five Poles arrived here
from the west today, bound for the land

marked that the colony was returning to

of gold mines, lucrative positions, free

VIII the Disgrnced City omciai
Make a Full Confession?
PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-John Bards-
ley, ex-city treasurer Of Philadelphia,
was brought up from Moyamensing
prison In the regular prison van and ar
raigned in the quarter sessions, before
Judges Fell and Wilson, on seventeen
separate indictments charging him with
loaning money as public officer, deriv-
ing gain from the deposit of public
money and converting public money to
his own use. Bardsley pleaded guilty
to every count of the indictment, but In
such low voice that few could hear
him.
District Attorney Graham said that In
view OF Bardsley's plea and the fact that
his counsel has not had time to examine
the bills of indictment, he would not
press for sentence being pronounced at
once.
1t was then arranged that the 24th'
inst. should be set for hearing the evil
dence for and against Bardsley, and the
court could then weigh it and pronounce
sentence.
In the seventeen indictments on which
Bardsley pleaded guilty the total amount
involved Is S673, ,405.
While arguing for two weeks delay,
Counsel Alexander, for Bardsley, said:
II am preparing statement for Mr..
Bardsley, and it will take me all of that
time to get it ready" This caused
profound sensation and opened anew
the rumor that Bardsley will make
clean breast Of everything.

SPRINGFIELD, Ms, June 10.-The Rev.
Jerry M. Holmes and Rev. George w.

He says that at about the time of his
conversion he became acquainted with
Rev. q. w. Vancit. One day he told
Mr.. Vancit that he could make money
fast, but that he did not like to- as he
thought it was wrong. Vancit told him
he thought 1t was all right If the money
was used for benevolent purposes.
Holmes thereupon gave him 81 for the
counterfeit money.
Mr.. Holmes confession concludes:

THE HIGH LICENSE.
Governor Pattison Attaches His
Signature to the Bills /.
AND THEY NOW BECOME LAWS

They VIII Iucrcasc the Annual Rev.
enues of the State Between $780,
600 and $50O,OOO = All License
Fees to Be Paid Into City, Borough
and Township Treasures.
HARRIsBuRa, June 10.-Governor Pat
tison, among other bills approved, at
tached his signature to the wholesale
license act, which it is estimated will
increase the annual revenues Of the state
between 100000 and 100000. This
law increases the fee of wholesale liquor
dealers in cities of the first and second
classes from $500 to $1,000; fixes the
rate in cities OF the third class at $500;
in other cities ut $500; in boroughs at
$500, and in townships at,$l00, all Of
which fees nre payable into the state
treasury.
A bottlers license is fixed at $500 in
cities, 5000 in boroughs and 500 in
townships. Distillers and brewers are
permitted to deliver their products
within the county where the license is
granted, and all wagons used in deliver
ing liquors are required to contain the
name of the licensee and the number of
figures. This act makes it unlawful for
any rectitier, coinpounder, distiller or
manufacturer to sell liquors in less
quantities than one gallon, or any whole
sale dealer or storekeeper to sell any
Bpirituous or yinous liquors in less
quantities than one quart, and brewed
OF malt liquors in less quantities than
twelves pint bottles.
Retail Licenses.
A bill Of great importance to ccun-
ties, cities, boroughs and townships was
also approved by the governor. This is
an amendment to the Brooks high Ii
cense law, and requires that all license
fees be paid into county, city, borough
and township treasures. In cities 500
OF the fee shall be paid into the county
treasures; in boroughs and townships
0ne-fifth of the amount of the fec, the
balance to be paid into city, borough and
township treasures. As the new law
allows the state nothing it will lose an
nually between $4OO, 900 and $500, 900 in
revenues, just about the same amount
the wholesale law will add to the reve-
nues of the public treasury.
The amendment to the retail liquor
act will be particularly beneficial to
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Allegheny,
creased from $500 to 81, 900 Under the
legislation Philadelphia will be entitled
70 all the retail liquor license fees, and
Pittsburg and Allegheny to nine-tenths
OF them. The increased receipts in
Pmladelphia are estimated at 81 900, 900
and Pittsburg at 5000, 900.
The bill as 1t passed both houses made
no change in the license fee, but simply
provided for different distribution of
Ehs funds Than that recognized by the
Old law. AS it passed the senate the
oil allowed the counties mono of the
license money. When it reached the
house the counties were voted share
OF the receipts, which led to the refer
ence of the bill to conference committee,
which increased the amount of the fee
In cities of the first and second classes
from $500 to $1,000. The rate prevail
ing in other places was not touched.
A large number of other bills of more
or less Importance also received the ex-
ecutive approval
