APRoros Of the borning Of the third
party at Cincinnati last week, whose
platform We publish in another column,
a correspondent Of the New York S,ua
writes that journal
In their great delight some Of the gentry
who attended the Cincinnati Convention
thought il would be a good idea 10 90 ever
She river into Kentucky and ask Senator
Carlisle what he thought OF the new baby.
They did so, and they met with a cordial
reception. Some Of the Western delegates
have rather a kindly feeling for Carlisle.
They believe he is an honest man, and they
wanted his opinion of the revolt they are
leading. They talked with the Senator
about some OF their pet projects. and asked
what be thought Of them. Government
ownership Of railroads and telegraphs was
brought up and Mr.. Carlisle turned ques-
toner.
DO you propose TO get possession OF these
properties by ooniiscstiOn q he asked them
No. that wouldn't be fair. they ad-
mitted.
Then you must buy them, was the re-
ply. and 20 buy them you must pay for
Them, and 70 pay Cor them you must tax
yourselves. Have YOU any idea how much
Close of the war was more than two thou
sand millions, and we have been almost
thirty years in paying half of IL. The rail
roads, telegraphs, telephone lines aud steam
boats in the country represent about SO, ,000.-
10000 invested capital SioQ0,o90W0 is
bonded Indebtedness which must be paid
Are you ready to tax yourselves 10 raise this
money? Then. after you have got the prop
eriy, are you ready 20 tax yourselves 10
operate il. for the Government never yet
succeeded in doing business al profit? Con-
sider another effect such plan would add
perhaps 10000 men and women TO the
roll OF Government employee. How would
you ever succeed in turning out of power
an administration with such resources at It's
command? The more corrupt il was. the
more difficult Il wonld be 70 displace it,
The delegation looked dubious and per
plexed, for the questions and suggestions
were evidently all new 10 their sangaine and
enthusiastic minds.
" Anyhow broke in one of them. chang
ing the subject, don't yau think the money
power is getting into too few hands,
- Yes, ] admit il is bad sign replied
Mr.. Carlisle; but how are you going 10 rem
edy il? BY a revolution or by an act Of
legislature Do you propose to say by
your Legislatures that when a man has
earned 500 or 81 600 or $1,000 that be shall
not earn any more
Again there was no response. The visi-
tors presented two or three more of the
grievances which form the basis Of their
revolt, and Mr.. Carlisle tested them one af.
ter the other with the question How can
they be remedied by legislation And no
practical answer was suggested. The fathers

ROANOKE, Va, May, 9o.-A special from
Pocahontas says one of the most brutal
murders known in this section occurred
there yesterday morning, when a tough
character named Charles Buffalo shot and
killed James Matthias Buffalo claimed to
be a special officer and tried to arrest
Matthias, who resisted, when Buffalo shot
him through the head, killing him almost
instantly. Buffalo is in Jail and the building
is guarded tonight by the Pocahontss rifles
to prevent an attempt at lynching.

Battle with a Madman.

TERRA ALTA. W. Va, May 24-Abraham
Meeks, prominent farmer living just over
the Maryland line, made desperate attempt
at wife murder to-day. Meeks suddenly
fired at his wife with a shotgun at short
range, missing her. A desperate battle be-
tween the husband and wife ensued for pos
session Of the gun.
In the struggle, which lasted ten minutes,
the gun was discharged accidentally, tearing

A Split in Lancaster.

The Lancaster Inquirer and Columbia Spg
have placed the name of John B. Living
ston at the head of their editorial columns as
the nominee for Law Judge.
This indicates that the friends of Living
ston will not submit to have him counted
out by the Brubaker Board of Return Judges
and that both Livingston and Brubaker
will be candidates for the position. The
Democrats will put in nomination one Of
their ablest lawyers and expect to win with
the Republicans divided.
The friends of Livingston and Brubaker
are still working at the poll-books and other
data to ferret out frauds A lively time is
anticipated at the next meeting of the Com
mittee on Contests, on Friday, June 5.

THE STATE BADLY FLEEcED.

1t was learned tonight, for the first time
that Bardsley had, in addition to the city's
money, $4,000 Of the State funds on deposit
in the Keystone Bank, none of which ap-
pearod on the books. In the light Of recent
events it is now apparent that the only
reason Bardsley placed so much money in
the Keystone was to obtain the interest.
When the Bank closed it was given out that
the liabilities were s., 100000, but it now
appears that they are S2,l0O,O00
Among well informed people in banking
circles it is stated that the bank will not pay
10 cents on 81. 1t was testified before Com
missioner Bell that when Bank Examiner
Drew came around twice year TO examine
the accounts, President Marsh would hastily
dispatch trusted clerk to the Spring Gar
den Bank to borrow all their spare cash.
As much as $4,000 would be borrowed al
one time, and this was palmed off on the
examiner as the Keystones money. 1t is
thought President Marsh has fled to Brazil.
Bardsley tonight made an assignment. 1t
is expected that he will be arrested.
City Treasurer Bardsleys bondsmen are
John and James DObson, the well-known
textile manufacturers. They have given the
city bond for Sl2O, ,OO0,a and the State bond
for $4,000.

FINE FINANCIAL JUGGLING.
Astounding Revelations I'm Phiiadel-
phla's Bank Cases.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2i.-President Gideon
W. Marsh, of the broken Keystone National
bank, has fed to psrts unknown, and to-
day when the announcement was made by
bis counsel 10 United States Commissioner
Bell, the latter caused his bail bond of s2o.-
90 10 be forfeited. which had been entered
for his appearance at court to answer a
charge Of making false returns of the bank 5
condition to the Comptroller Of the Currency.
On top of this came the resignation of
City Treasurer John Bardsley, which was
presented to Councils this afternoon, and
the Ieading Of which caused most intense
surprise.
Behind these announcements is q most
astonishing story Of financial juggling which
has 50 far resulted in the closing Of two
national banks and the loss to the city of
$4,000 and TO the State Of S93O,O00 of mon.
eys collected by taxation
PUBLIC oFFIcE NOT PUBLIC TErsT.
John Bsrdsley was elected City Treasur-
er 16 months ago. He had been for many
years Chairman Of the Finance Committee
Of Councils and was known as Honest
John" Besides collecting the city's money
he also acted as an agent Of the State for the
collection Of State taxes. 1t now develops
that es soon as he entered the Office he be-
gan using the city's money for his own gain.
He placed Sal 600 in the Keystone and
sl44O0O in the Spring Garden National
banks, both VIGOROUSLY weak banks. He
also placed $4,000 in the Third National
Bank, and only two days ago the president
of that institution testified before the Coun-
ellis Investigating Committee that he paid
1900 a year, equivalent to per cent, for
the privilege of having this deposit, and this
money has since been traced to the City
Treasurer.
The Keystone Bank was the first to topple,
and then followed the Spring Garden. The
first named was wrecked through the steal
ings Of its President, John C. Lucas, who is
now dead, which amounted to S90OO0.
Though Lucas died two and a half years
ago, the looting of the bank was not even
discovered by the directors until January
last, because President Gideon w. Marsh,
who was cashier under Lucas and succeeded
the latter, doctored the books and fooled
both the directors and the United States au-
thorities.
Marsh was to have been given hearing
to-day by Commissioner Bell, but his coun-
sci stated that he had not been seeen since
last Saturday His bail was then forfeited.
One of his two bondsmen is William H.
wanamaker, brother of the Postmaster
General.
