"HoNEST JOHNS" DISHONESTY.
Strengthening Out the TangIe of the
PHILADELPHIA Scandal,

PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-This afternoon,
as the United States circuit court office was
to close for the day, counsel for B. Franklin
Fisher. treasurer of the Spring Garden Ma
tional Bank, filed bill against John Bards-
ley and Edward w. Magill, assignee for the
benefit of the creditors of Bardsley, to re-
cover large number of notes claimed to be
part of the assets belonging to the bank.
The notes are nineteen in number and
amount to $47, ,416 and are those sent Bard
sley by Francis w. Kennedy, president of
the bank, on the day the doors were closed,
Ii Is recited in the bill that the Spring GAR
den bank was hOpelessly insolvent on the
8th of May last, which was we'll known to
Bardsley, and that the delivery of the prom
issory notes mentioned, together with the
collateral securities pledged therefor, was
for the purpose of preventing the application
of the assets OF the Spring Garden bank as
required by law. The PRAYER of the bill is
that the assignee be eBj0ined from realizing
on the notes and be ordered TO return them
to the receiver.
Bardsley's assignee this afternoon filed in
court OF common pleas an inventory and ap-
pralsement OF the real and personal property
of the ex-treasurer. The inventory includes
seVenty-f Tour small houses in various sections
OF the city, number of notes and the fam
Gus $945, 900 in due bills which Bardsley SAYS
was given him for that amount of money he
deposited In the Keystone bank. The value
of Bardsley'S estate appraised in the inven-
tory, not including the $945, 900 worth of due
bills and about $4,000 in promissory notes,
is $l32,0 200 81,

o,Eu FROM BLOOD POISONING,
The Sad Result of a Slight Cut of
aRazor.

The people of Foxcroft and Dover have
been very much shocked by an agonizlng
death that has just occurred there from blood
poisoning. A little over week ago man
named Smith, residing at Moosehead, while
straping his razor for Sunday shave, In
flicted small cut upon his thumb. The
wound bled a little, but soon ceased to
trouble the man. who kept about his ordin-
ary duties.
In day or two, however, the hand and
arm showed signs of blood poisoning. The
flesh about the woHnd turned black and
violent pains racked the the member from
palm to elbow. The armed swelled with
alarming rapidity and no lotions or treat
ment had any beneficial effect. Smith grew
alarmed and went to Dover on Monday of
last week to receive treatment from local
physicians. However, nothing could be
done to save his life or relieve mis- frightful
agony. He raved, screamed and tossed for
hours until death put an end to his
sufferings. In his paroxysms he tore
and flung from him band ages and
garments. -Four strong men with diff
Guilty held him upon his bed and despite
their efforts he several times eluded them.
PERSONS VINO are acquainted with forms of
hydrophobia say that Smiths rawlings and
sufferings equalled the tortures seen In some
OF the worst cases of that dread disease.
When Smith died his arm looked as though
1t might belong to a man weighing two hun
dred pounds. His body was fearfully swol-
len.
