firm IN the South, John Ryan d Son, OF this
city, was closed by the sheriff today. The haoili-
ties are estimated at over 100000,
with assets probably aggregating ssooooo.
The house is one OF the oldest IN the
South. Stephen A. Ryan is now sole proprietor.
Two or three months ago there were rumors OF
his being financially embarrassed, and
suit was brought by schloss q Co., OF
New York, which created stir. Ryan won
the suit and afterwards sued the New York
firm for 100000 damages. That suit is still
pending. After the first suit was decided in his
favor, Ryan met a member of the Schloss firm
and q personal encounter resulted, in which
Ryan came off best. Ryan claims the suit
brought by Schloss was one cause leading TO the
failure, as it induced creditors to push their
claims.

TREASURER BARDsLEY GAMBLED.
Spent Hundr eds of Thousands on Stocks
-PhiIadelphia Insults the Governor.

philadelphia Insults the Governor.
PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-Before the city coun-
Gil committee investigating the affairs OF City
Treasurer Bardsley today National Bank
Examiner Drew testified as to what
be knew regarding the affairs OF the
Keystone bank. The most surpris-
ing testimony yet given, however, was
that of George Hume, OF the firm OF Robert
Glendennin & Co., bankers and brokers. Hume
said that Bardsley, from January TO September
last, was heavy operator in stocks through his
firm. In that time they purchased for him be-
tween s5000O0 and s690, 900 worth OF the stock OF
various companies. 1t was purchased outright
by Bardsley, and never on margins. During
December Bardsiey closed all his holdings in
these stocks. Hume was unable without the
books to give the amount lost or gained by
Bardsley in these transactions, but as far as he
remembered il was small either way. Hume
firm borrowed $500 900 from Bardsley during the
financial stringeney last fall, paying the pre-
yailing rate OF interest.
The city commissioners met this morning and
ignored the appointment by Governor Pattison
OF successor to City Treasurer Bardsley, and
proceeded to elect Richard c. Sellers,
business manager OF the Record,
to fill the office. The question as
to who has the power to fill the Office
of the city treasurer has given rise to much con-
troversy, and will undoubtedly be brought into
court. Bardsley is under guard at his house,
his condition still being too serious to warrant
his arrest He is unable to obtain $4,000 bail.

City OF MEXICO, May 2s.-The Dfdro del HoGGrd
publishes letter from Acapulco which says the
Chilean insurgent steamer Esmeralda, en-
tering that port, saluted the Mexican flag,
and the Mexican government in return
saluted the Esmeralda's flag. thus
making IT an open question whether
this was recognition by Mexico of the Chilean
insurgents. The captain of the Eslneralda- in
an interview at Acapulco few days ago, said 1t
was not his intention TO take coal by force, or he
would have done SO before. He also said ne

NEW YORK, May pa private letter re-
ceived today from the City of Mexico,
written May 10 by business man
who has ample facilities for getting
correct information, says there is much reason
to believe the Mexican authorities are quietly
giving aid TO the Chilean insurgents. The
Esmeralda has beer able to get all the coal she
wanted, and private advices from Mazatlan
say that war materials brought from San Fran
cisco have been transferred early this morning
to ship belonging TO the insurgents. The
