BAD BARDSLEY.
Governor Pattison Tells of All
Bardsley's Dealings
WITH The CHESTNUT STREET BANK,
or Which the Governor Was Presi-
dent--BardslOy Never Had n Check
Account There, but Merely Put the
States Money in and Drew Interest
on It---He Made Loans ut Interest
ofthe Commonwealth Funds.

PulIADELrmA, Aug. l7.-Council's
subcommittee to investigate the affairs
of ex-Gity Treasurer Bardsley and Key
stone National Bank met this afternoon.
Governor Pattison was present and
was asked to explain the report to
Mayor Stuart by the expert account
ants of the payment of STA IS in 1889
by tho Chestnut Street Bank to Bards-
ley. Governor Pattison said in answer
to the question: II was elected prest'
dent of the Chestnut Street Bank in
1887, and served until the second week
in January, 1891. The city opened an
account with the bank when it was
made city depository. Bardsley at
that time was treasurer, / think. No
interest was paid Bardsley on the ac-
count. / never met Mr.. Bardsley US
president twice and l never knew him
socially.
Atno time as president Of the bank
did have any conversation with Bards-
ley on the question Of deposit, or di..
reetly or indirectly on the payment Of
interest. No interest was ever paid on
State money. The first intimation that
We had that some OF the money depos-
tied by Bardsley was State money was
when we we're called upon to file q bond
of $4,000. This alr. Singerly, who
succeeded me as president OF the bank,
subsequently did. Bardsley came to
the bank in 1889 and received certftt-
Gates OF deposit. These certificates
were gotten by Bardsley from time to
time, and It was upon these that inter
est was paid-about $500 at one time
and $500 at another. The first intima-
ton had that the bank was paying
Bardsley interest was when tho cashier
came to me and said THAI Bardsley
wanted 8 per cent. on his money. The
bank could not afford to pay this, and
the certificates were surrendered and
account withdrawn.
Certificates OF deposit are issued by
NIL banks, and interest paid on them.
The account upon which we gave Bards-
ley the certificates was not check ac-
count, and the money merely remained
in the bank. We never paid Bardsley
any interest on the account OF the city"
This practically concluded the gov
ernor's testimony. BY the testimony OF
the experts, Bardsley, in addition to his
various illegal sources OF profit to him
self, appears to have had the use Of
S653, ,SSS. 80 for two months. This money
belonged to the sinking fund, and was
the proceeds of the sale Of loans to pay
the city's debt. Bardsley, instead OF at
once paying the money into the treas
ury, loaned it out at interest for the
period mentioned.

A woll.to.Do Farmer Cut in the shoulder
ut Albrightsyille.


Spectdi Ditpdtch to the Tatosiaaiea.
KINawooD, W. Va, Aug. 1.-THE lit
tie village of Albrightsville, three miles
east of here, was thrown into fever Of
excitement about two o'clock this after
noon by stabbing afray, in which
Moses Grover was very seriously stab
bed in the shoulder by shipley Pullman.
A telegram from Albrightsville, which
is situated on Cheat river, was sent here
soon after the affair took place. asking
that physician and officers be sent
down at once.
The sheriff, n justice and physician
went down very soon after the word
was received. It seems that Pullum,
who Is prosperous farmer, was in the
store ut Albright making the weekly
purchases for his family when Grover
aceosted him in rather abusive Ian
guage about a'law suit which is pend
Ing and in which one is plaintiff and
the other defendant.
Hot words were exchanged and there
upon Pullum drew knife and sud-
denly stabbed Grover in1icting very
dangerous wound.
The surgeon does not think the
wound fatal, but at q late hour neither
the officers nor surgeon have returned.
Both men have been known us peace
ful citizens and neither was intoxi:
Gated. Further fighting was prevented
by the interference OF bystanders.

ofPhnumn.
New York, Aug. 17.-The following
dispatch reached the Associated Press
from San Salvador today. 1t had no
signature, but doubtless emanated from
an official source:
"Thereportsp published recently inNew
York touching revolution in Salvador
were altogether inaccurate. They were
doubtless based on the circumstances
connected with the passage of
several Salvudorian refugees from
Nicaragua to Guatemala on board the
Pacific Mail steamer City of Panama.
Among these refugees was Lisandro
Ietona, man who had been guilty Of
common crimes and against whom
criminal charges had been preferred at
San Miguel. The court demanded that
Leon be surrendered. The captain OF
the City OF Panama in direct violation
OF the law refused to stop and weighed
anchor without previous permission
from the captain OF the port. By this
act he rendered his vessel liable to the
penalty OF condscation.
"Such was tho origin Of the false re-
ports which have been published. 1t
should be borne in mind that the au-
thorities OF Salvador respected existing
treaties and made no demand for the
surrender Of any OF the other refugees
on board the City OF Panama, 1t is u
serious matter that the government OF
the United States should set our inter-
ests at defiance though justice is mani
festfy on our side.
"surely then We have fallen in times
when the right Of force prevailsover the
force Of right"

exists for reduction OF duties on corn,
but that, on the contrary, it was more
necessary than ever TO adhere to the
policy announced by Chancellor Won
Caprivi in the lower house Of the Prus-

lor then announced that the Govern
ment had decided to maintain the corn
duties, saying that the existing tariff
must remain until at least new treaty

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Aug. lin the
central and southeastern counties OF
this State the continued drought has
rendered the prospects for the fall har-
vest extremely discouraging.
In most OF the counties the pasturage
is burned up; corn, potatoes and garden
truck are scared by the warm, dry
winds, and the ground is so baked that
1t is almost impossible for team topull
aplow.
One correspondent says: ~ have
lived for forty years on the farm, and it
is the first summer that ever was
compelled to feed hay and pump water
for my stock"
In the west and northwestern coun-
ties the moisture that was SO FORUM
ately stored in the soil during the
early part OF the spring, and which car
ried through the spring crop into a sue
cessinl maturity, is now pretty well eS-
hausted. The corn and potatoes have
greatly felt the drought during the last
week, and NIL fall crops have boen rem
dered much less promising.

that the shortage Of wheat abroad has
drawn many heavy foreign buyers into
the market and that the upward ten

is that, despite It's wildness, there has
been no suspensions. 8lildness was
