with the bank, but no interest was paid
Bardsley. The first intimation they had
that the sum of money deposited was state
money, was when the bank was called upon
to file 100000 bond. In 1889 Bardsley
took out certain certificates of deposit and
1t was upon these interest was paid. The
first intimation Pattison had that the bank
was paying Bardsley interest was when
the cashier came to him and said Bardsley
wanted 3 per cent on his money. The
bank could not afford to pay this and the
account was withdrawn.
The examination of experts was then
continued. Their testimony showed that
Bardsley, in addition to his various illegal
sources of profit, appears to have had the

lSpecialto THE Observation-Disclosures dispatch. I
CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Racing atnight is the
latest result of the rivalry between the
Garfield and Hawthorne race tracks. 1t is
announced to-day that the fliers will be
running of evenings and the bookmakers
will be chalking up odds after supper in
the course of the next few weeks out at the
Garfield clubs park. The fact that the
club has been arranging for the construc-
ton OF large steam and electric plant on
tne grounds, and that all the buildings have
been arranged so as to be closed up. gave
rise to report that it was the intention of
the club to hold winter meetings. Tonight
John Condor, one of the active managers
OF the park, said: I'VE do not believe the
climate of Chicago will admit of winter
racing. We will run the horses as long as
we can, but Phi attempt no Gutenberg
game. NJ IS TACT that we are going to heat
the building by steam, as we know how
chilly some Chicago fall days are. But our
real OBJECT in putting up power buildings
IS thls: we believe that racing by night is
pfactlcable and that it would prove very
attractive. We are satisfied that we can
give successful night meetings, and that
we will be ready to inaugurate them
within thirty days"
Inc night racing will not interfere with
the sport by day. The intention is to have
the afternoon meetings between 3 and 6

TRADE AS HE FOUNDIT

with His Publishers.
He Thinks His Book Sold like Byron and

Patent Office Report.

Especial to THE HERALD-ExaminerD Dispatch. I
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-There is a story
current to the effect that Ward McAllister
has come to serious difference of opinion
with the Cassell Publishing company of
London and New York. The firm of book
publishers last October put on the market
Ward McAllister's celebrated book on so
ciety entitled "Society as Have Found It. y
Cassel & Co., it seems, published the book
under an arrangement with McAllister
whereby he was to receive a royalty on
each book that fell from the press. On
August just past, so the story goes, the
firm sent to Mr.. McAllister statement of
the number of books sold, on the basis of
which number the whole amount of royalty
was to be paid, and according to Mr.. Nc
Allister's friends, the showing was
thoroughly unsatisfactory and disappoint-
ing. The distinguished author of the book
made inqueries last winter and last spring
as to what the sale probably was,
and addressed his inquiries not only
to men who were in position
to make fairly accurate observations, but
also to rival publishers who happen to be
McAllister's personal friends. From this
information McAllister came to the con-
clusion between 10000 and 10000 copies of
his book were sold but the official state
ment as rendered by the publishing com
psny knocked all the dreams of the author
into cooked hat. Mr. McAllister does mt
seem to be satisfied with the showing made
by his publishers and the probability is
that the Cassell Publishing company will
be called on to make an exhibition of their
books, submit bills for paper and press
work incurred in getting out of Society AS
l Have Found It," and win be asked to do
everything they can legitimately be asked
to do to demonstrate the correctness of
the statement they hBve furnished.

seriously injured and thirty others slightly.
A curve n the line prevented the enei-
neer of the express from seeing the danger
ahead. Many passengers of the excursion

THE OMAHA STRIKE
The Men go Back to Work at the
Old Rates.
A MASS MEETING is CALLED

Davis Win Case-Expert Testimony
Heavy Storms in Colorado.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 17.-[Special tele-
grem to THE HERALD. The Omaha
Bmelter strikers divided to-day and the
Fight assumed curious phase. About two
hundred men are at work at the old prices
while the remainder hold out for eight
hours with ten hours pay. The men began
assembling as early as 6 o'clock and an
hour later there were fully four hundred
Of them in front of the gates. Many of
them had their dinner pals with them and
nearly all wore their working clothes.
Some expected a conference and hoped for
settlement, while scores openly voiced
their sentiments to the effect that enough
conferences had been held and they were
going back TO work whether their com
rades wanted 10 go back or not. That
they meant what they said was clearly
demonstrated when the passage way
through the .ime-keepers office was
opened and 1t WAS announced that all men
who wanted to go to work could do so.
Despite the efforts of some men 10 stop
them those who were heartily sick of the
strike awaited themselves of the opportu-
nifty and passed inside. They went di
rectiy 10 their old places and were set to
work cleaning up and getting ready to
start the fires. Shortly after o'clock
there were fully two hundred men at work
and smoke was beginning to roll from the
chimneys. When Mr.. Barton drove up to
the Office on one side, several alleged
strikers harangued the men demanding
they hold out, while a little further re-
moved a priest advised the men to go to
wolk and settle prices later.
In the foundry and machine shops the
full force of men was at work and the yard
men and roustabouts were there in force.
Several men were cleaning out the tanks in
the blue shop, and the fires were.roaring in
the coupolas in the side shops, score of
men were busy in the great refinery build
ing and in the coupolas tearing out the Stag
and bar, all bespoke the efforts that were
being made to clean out the huge blast fur
naces. These furnaces were almost empty
when the men went out, else it would have
taken weeks of work to again put them in
readiness to start. They were run so low
that another hours work would have emp
tied them. Hence it will be a compare
lively easy matter to clean out the frozen
mass that was left in them. 1t is intended
TO start the first blast furnace tomorrow
night and one will be started on each shift
thereafter until the whole ten are running.
Early this afternoon handbills were scat
tered broadcast throughout the city calling
mass meeting under the Douglas street
bridge at 4:3O p. N. to-day. The circular
vas headed, "Barton's Treachery,n AMI
called upon all friends of justice, honor
and fair play to attend and take part in tn e
meeting. The dissatisfied strikers met
and were harangued by leaders Two of
those who dared favor returning to work
were assaulted. The police patrol put
down the fight before it became general.

Great excitement in New York Wheat

excited brokers could not restrain them
selves until the board opened, but for half

horde OF savages in their eagerness to make
sale. Many spectators were present
