water IS delightfully."- warm and the tank
room Is hotter than n July day. Water
polo or water football, as il should be
called, originated In London II dozen years
ago and is still very popular. When the
game was first played the contestants
swan upon bladders, and carried small
paddles with which they propelled them
selves aud batted the ball. The use OF
these paddles or bats, which were soon dis.
cardcd, gave the Camett name.
As the sport was intensely interesting,
as well ns very English, IL was naturally
destined to become popular in America,
and last winter the Boston Athletic asso-
citation imported It. The first game was
played NJ Providence, r. l., between the
b. A A and the Syndham Swimming
club, This season the New York Athletic
club introduced the game TO the metropo-
lis, and the Manhattan Athletic club, too,
was soon playing in its mammoth tank,
100 feet long. The game is now the AZ in
many cities. The men play ten minute
steadily, rest five and play ten more. and the
team winning the larger number OF goals
during both halves is victor. Some OF the

At any rate these delicate attentions on

he vanished from the sight of the people in

Crane is a short, rather thick set man,
with a very large head. His smooth shaven

smile. Perhaps this smile may have some
thing to do with his popularity. He has

No Mercy for John Bardsley. %~
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.--Francis W.
Kennedy, president of the suspended
Spring Garden National bank, was ar
rested yesterday on warrant charging
him with making false entries in the
books. false returns to the comptroller
of the currency and the embezzlement
of 100000 and upwards of the banks
funds.
Henry II. Kennedy, cashier of the
bank and brother Of the president, was
also arrested, charged with conspiracy
with Francis w. Kennedy to make false
entries, false returns and with making
both.
When the two accused men heard
that the warrants were out for their ar
rest they at once went before United
States Commissioner Bell and gave
themselves into custody. Commissioner
Bell declined to allow them to waive
hearing and fixed the bail of Francis Ken
nedy at 100000 and that of Henry Ken
nedy at $l5,0 for hearing on Monday
next.
The Kennedys are already under $i0,-

receiving money from depositors when
they knew the bank was insolvent.

The ordinance approving the the sureties
has been signed by the mayor. Mr..
Oellers has now qualified, but the main
question remains to be settled, and that
is whether or not he is legally elected.
The next move in the matter of sue
cession is expected to be an injunction
asked for by the state to keep Oellers
from taking charge of the treasurer's
Office. This would probably be the first
move to draw the lines of legal battle.
Wright's attorneys are now making
their case, and will be ready soon.
No Mercy for BardsIey,
Bardsleys physical condition is much
improved, and it is stated that he will
undoubtedly appear at the hearing this
afternoon. He will have three charges
to answer, two of misrepresentation and
one of perjury. From what the law
officers say he will not be shown any
mercy, but will be locked up in cell in
the city hall and then placed in the
prisoners dock, unless he shall not be
able to stand such treatment.

MUsKEaoN, Mich, May 30. = The
schooner Thomas Hume, owned by
Hackley & Hume, Of this city has un-
doubtedly been wrecked and gone to the
bottom Of Lake Michigan, together with
her crew Of seven mea. One week ago
Thursday, the Hume and the Rouse
Simmons cleared from Chicago for Mus
kegon. A stiff gale was blowing. They
slipped along pretty lively and encoun-
tered a heavy sea. The Simmons la
bored in the storm for several hours and
finally put back into Chicago, arriving
here last night.
The last seen of the Hume she was
encountering the storm and pursuing
her course to Muskegon. The Simmons
remained in Chicago until the storm
subsided, and then made her way to
Muskegon. Upon arriving here the
captain was much surprised to learn
that the Hume had not been heard of.
At first 1t was expected that she had run
into some convenient port for shelter.
But days passed, and no tidings being
received of her inquiries were made Of
other boats, but no one had seen the
Hume.
The Thomas Hume was formerly the
ii. Q. Albright. She was in charge of
Capt. Harry Albright's son, whose home
is in Chicago. Besides the captain she
had crew of six men, all of Chicago.
She was valued at SO, 500.
