A Far Reaching Effect.

LONDON, June Sir Gordon Cum
ming held a consultation with Sir Ed
ward Clarke, Mr. Gill and his solicitor
in the course of the evening before pro-
ceeding home. Tonight the members
of the Turf Club seemed undecided how
to act. Personally Cumming is liked at
the club. The defendants on leaving
the court were surrounded by mob,
and numbers of insulting illusions were
addressed to them until they reached
the protection of their carriages. Mr..
Lewis, their solicitor, escaped by climb
ing over bench. The popular reaction
is largely due to Sir Edward Clarke's
outspoken and fearless address. Though
his friends fear for his future, political
issues of the affair promise speedy de-
velopment. Mr.. Morton has already
given notice that in committee on the
estimates he will move a reduction Of
the salary of Commanderin-C Chief in or
der to raise a general debate on the case.
An indication of how the religious
public view the scandal is exemplitied
in the speeches made at a meeting OF
Methodist leaders tonight on the sup
preston of gambling.

LUCAS LEGACY.
WHAT TIE DEAD PRESIDENT LEFT FOR HIS
\ RELATIVES.
He.Caussd the Books Of the Keystone Bank to be
Doctorsd Long Before His Death-What
His Brother and Widow Did
to Save Els Good Name.

PHILADELPHIA A, June 9.-When the
subcommittee of councils that is inves-
tigating the affairs of ex-City Treasurer
Bardsley, met this afternoon, the first
witness called was Mark p. Davis, Sec
retary and Treasurer of the Bradford
Mills Company. The Bradford Mills
was practically owned by Mr.. Bardsley,
and Mr.. Davis testified that since Janu-
airy /, 1889, to May II, 1891,
Bardsley transmitted to him the
sum of S605, 1858 TO be used in busi-
ness of the company. On the 21st OF
May a judgment for S172,000 was given
by Bardsley against the Bradford Mills
10 his bondsmen.
Charles Lawrence, eX Assistant Cash
ier of the Keystone bank, was the next
witness. Lawrence is now under bonds
to answer a criminal charge arising
from some of his actions while in the
bank, and he was warned against
saying anything that might incriminate
himself. He said that ten years ago
John C. Lucas, the deceased President
of the bank, called on him to make some
alterations in the personal ledger to
cover an overdraft. From this time on
to Mr. Lucas death 1883 he continued
to make these alterations. The
necessity for the alterations were
so because Mr.. Lucas drew checks
an the bank when he had no
money on deposit. During the run on
the bank in December last, he told the
Directors of the bank that the Lucas
deficit was S1,000,000.
Samuel Lucas, a Director of the bank,
and brother of the dead President, tes-
titled that he and his sister-in-iaw, Mrs.
Lucas, paid S6O0,000 to raise the cloud
that was over his good name.

y 1t is related of the inventor Of the
game Of chess that, on being promised
by the king whom he first taught the
game that he should have any reward
he might ask for, he meekly replied
that he would be content if the king
would give him one kernel Of wheat on
the first square, two on the second,
-four on the third, eight on the fourth,
and so on, doubling up TO the sixty
fourth square. The king gladly ac-
ceeded TO this seemingly modest re-
quest, and ordered his attendants TO
bring in the wheat, which they began
TO do, but, to the astonishment of the
monarch, it was found that there was
not wheat enough in the whole domin-
ion to pay off the crafty inventor.
A mathematician who claims TO have
been figuring on this chess-board curl
osity says that TO fulfill the kings
promise it would take 80, 027, O97, 1S4.-
4S5 bushels Of wheat-allowing 600. 900
kernels TO each bushel This prodi-
giOus amount would Cover the states of
New York. Pennsylvania New Jersey,
and Delaware all over with wheat to
