BARDsLEY's FINANCIERING.
More Expert Testimony in a Badly
Mixed Mess.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2O.-The sub
committee of city councils investigating
the affairs of ex-City Treasurer Bards-
ley and the Keystone bank met
this afternoon. Mr.. Hicks, a
member of the committee, said
that from what he had seen of Mccain
mant's letters, he felt justified in saying
that he thought the committee should
demand an explanation from the auditor
general, as his testimony given before
the committee was in direct variance
with the facts contained in the letters,
and he made motion that the district
attorney be requested to furnish the
committee with the McCammant and
Yard letters. After a long debate the
motion was lost,
The report of the committees ex-
perts relating to the deposit by Bards-
ley of S943, 900 in the Keystone bank
purports 10 show in detail what use the
bank made of the money after giving
Bardsley clearing house due-b ills for
it. A material portion of the funds
was substituted by the Keystone
bank for fictitious assets. Dur
1890, two items substantially unchanged
=
parts of the reserve in the daily cash
settlements, viz: Gold clearing house
certificates, S1O4, 900, and national notes,
S32,O23.47; total, S136, O23.47. They were
absolutely false.
The report says the account of II. h.
Yard was persistently overdrawn during
1890, until its elimination at SS1, 431.75,
Nov. Is. This entire sum was pre-
sumptively derived from the Bardsley
funds. In addition to the overdrafts
issued to Yard, there are indications of
overdrafts to other persons aggregating
about $4,000. At the date of the banks
failure the overdraftS exceeded S220,00O
including that of Yard. 1t is the Opin-
ion of the experts tnat the S945, 600 was
deposited by Bardsley III the bank, and
that SO far as they know, no material
part of the money was repaid to Bard

APATHETIC PARTING.
Sad Farewell of a Sister to Her
Condemned Brother.

Condemned Brother.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 21.-Yesterday
was the last day on earth for Ed Blair.
The murderer was very pale, but did not
exhibit any signs of weakening. He
passed a sleepleSs night and marks of the
terrible strain were borne on his face.
This morning Father Logan baptized
him i'll the Catholic faith and left him
in better spirits. Shortly afterward
Chaplain Sutton attended HIM with
PRAYER and scriptural readings. The
remainder of the morning was spent in
company with Miss Laura Blair, his
sister. Conversations were directed
mainly upon the home topics, and the
young lady spent considerable time in
making bouquets for each of the five
condemned men in the annex.
When she was told that this would be
the last opportunity to say good bye,
the most pathetic scene ever witnessed
in the institution followed, and the
strong hearts OF the guards were mo-
mentarily sOftened and tears were shed
by them. She clasped her brother S
neck, kissing him and calling MIN
by his name over and over
again, Suddenly she fell from his
arms ana caught Oudru OtdHZoll dIOuHu
the neck and arm, nearly oVerpowering
him, but soon lay quivering aud pros
trate in his support. At this oppor-
tunity, Blair was removed to the death
chamber. When the lady recovered
and found he was gone from her side
forever, she again went into Mysteries.
Her cries were heard at the front
office and assistants were sent to bring
her from the annex. She was placed in
the warden's apartments and physician
attended her. The prostration was SO
severe that she cannot be taken from
the penitentIary before tomorrow after
noon.
Blair assembled the scaffold with firm
step at 1907 this morning. The drop
fell at 1905. His neck was broken by
the fall, and he was pronounced dead al

Examination of Students by State
High school Board.
The report of the examiner OF the
state high school board is now in prin'.
1t is in the form of comparative table,
showing the schools that have partici-
pated in the examinations. the number
of papers sent IN from each school in
each subject. and the number of certifi-
Gates of final standing returned to the
pupils of each school. Some interesting
facts may be noticed in this report.
First Of all, there is an increase in the
number of schools under the superyiS-
ion of the board. Again, out of about
$4,000 papers examined, $4,000 passed.
A great gain has been made in Latin,
both in the number of schools taking
the subject, and IN the number of GER
tifcates received in proportion to the
number of papers sent i'll.
1t is significant that some schools of
the higher rank have not made progress,
or have even refrigerated, while, other ;
OF a lower rank have puShedTorward

OUR PATENTS ABROAD.
American Inventors Losing for
Lack Of Care.

LACK OF care.
PARIS, Aug. 20.-Amerlcan inventors
who have taken out or are thinking of
taking out patents IN France will be in
terested in a case just decided here.
The Paris court declares null a
patent taken out here for q Ger
tain Philadelphia invention, not by the
American inventor, but by the buyer of
the patent in this country, who took it
out in his own name. This party sued
another party who had infringed on the
patent, who argued that when the
was pending" and therefore was not
patented in America when sold in
France. The court took this view of
the case and acquitted the defendant.
BERLIN, Aug. 20.-One of the leading
patent attorneys of Berlin, Edwyn A.
Bridges, declares that hundreds of
American patents, some Of them of
great importance, have been cancelled
here, and the use of these American in
ventions made free to whoever cared
to have them. This has been due to
ignorance of the requirements of the
German patent law on the part of Amer
leans. Paragraph II of the imperial
German patent law of 1877 provides:
1.-THE patent can be withdrawn after
the lapse: of three years." First, if the
patantee neglects to work his invention
in the boundaries of the German en-
pire to an adequate extent, or to do all
that was requisite for securing the said
working; second, when it appears con-
ducive to the public interest that per-
mission to use the invention be granted
to others and the patentee refuses to
grant such permission for an adequate
compensation and on good security.
Many Americans have paid no atten-
tention to this paragraph. They have
failed either to work their patent in
Germany or to dispose of the right of
manufacture to some German house
within the three years legal limit.

MONEY GALORE =!

With the great crop now
being harvested will come a
great abundance Of money
to the Northwest. This al
ways means speculation, and
there is nothing Of which our
people are so fond Of as spec
ulating in real estate. With
st. Paul and Minneapolis
growing at their presentrate
our real estate is the best
speculation in the country,
and people are finding this
out. After our last boom
many people here and some
elsewhere thought it was the
end Of real estate profits,a and
because real estate was dull
for a time that the city was
gone to the bad. But it has
really done better than ever
before. Outsiders have found
this out, and some few peo-
pie here know it. The fool
killer has been around this
year and scared the eroakers
away, and this fact, with our
great crops, has started
things on a new boom. Visit
the factories. the Wholesale.
merchants, or the etailers
and keep your eyes open, and
you will see this for your
self. Activity in real estate
will follow this, and it has,
in fact, already begun. For
a while you will not notice
it. But look back a year
from now and you will see
the difference. In a growing
city real estate booms are
like waves in a rising flood.
One comes and reeedes, and
each one that follows goes far
Their than the one before. The
purchases that are being made
show that the wave is COM
ing again. So buy now and
you get the benefit. If you
want a home buy now and
get the benefit Of low prices.
If you want an investment
or a speculation, by all means
buy now.
We are now Offering prop
erty at ridiculously low
prices, just to keep the ball
rolling. But we shall raise
them soon. Come and buy
now at your own price. If
you wait you will have to
pay our price, and then you
will want TO be kicked by long-eared
quadruped, and will call on yourself to
do the fob. We have the best property
in South st. Paul, the great manuIaGt-
urinq place of the present and future,
and will sell lots worth $500 to $1,000
for $3.50 to $500 to inprovers.
We have also 200 acres OF the very
best land for market gardens, eonven-
ientIy located, which we will sell in
quantities to suit. We have good
property in, all paris Of the city, and
some specially fine business property.

AN AMBULANCE.
Outlook Good for at Last Secur-
ing the Needed Apparatus.

ing the NcGuGd n BPesEoSuS'
The special Joint committee on am
balances is engaged in perfecting plans
for the establishment of an ambulance
service in the city, so long needed, ana
advocated time and again by the GLOBE.
Chairman McCafferty has called the
committee tOmeet to-day at 80 o'clock,
when a consultation will be held with
CITY Physician Ancker as to the best
ambulance to be obtained and the loca-
ton OF the same. 1t is understood that
the committee will recommend to the
council that the ambulance be placed at
the city hospital for various reasons. In
the first place there is no provision
whatever at the new police headquar-
tiers for the ambulance, while at the city
hospital there is every facility FOR It's
keeping. Secondly, the ambulance
when called for by either the police or
private persons will leave the hospital
with a surgeon in charge, as sur
geon is OH duty in the hos
pital day and night. Should the
ambulance be located at any other spot
serious delay would enSue in getting
one of the city physicians from his
Office or residence, and the prompt at
tention of a surgeon with the ambulance
is as important as the presence OF IRE
men with the fire apparatus. The am
bnlance will, by city ordinance, be
given the right of way on the streets IN
the same manner as the police patrOl
wagons and the fire apparatus: Inc
cost of the service will be but small. The
ambulance will be probably the same
as is ased in New York city and will
cost with complete fittings about $500.
One driver and one horse will suffice
for its service, and it is understood that
one of the rules governing the ambu-
lance service will be that when it is
called by railroad companies or private
persons fee of s. will be paid for Its
use. The railroad companies long ago
made this offer, and are still willing to
carry it out. The fee would only be
charged to private persons who desired
to be removed to hospitals other than
the city hospital.

morning were those of Huntington

surprises. The Huntington-Chase match
was first IN order. In the first set
Huntington played in good form and
won. Chase improved in the sec
Ond set and won. The third set
was not so good. Huntington lobbed too
low and gave Chase too many chances
to smash. Chase won. In the fourth
set Huntington did not play his usual
game, and Chase won. The Larned-Lee
match was a surprise. These men were
thought TO be evenly matched, but Lee
won in three straight sets.

MILITIA UNDER NATIONAL PAY
A Plan Formed to Bring That Cond.-
dition About.

- ran FORMED TO BRING mat COnd.-
dition About.
ST. LOUIS, MO, Aug. 21.-The Post Dis
patch this afternoon said there was a scheme
Oh foot by which the militia of all states
will be put under national pay and super
vision. 1t was started by officers of the
regular army at the encampment of the
state militia, at Camp Wickham, the other
day, and circulars and personal letters con-
corning it are now flying thick and fast
about the country. 1t is the most radical
plan to change the condition of the militia
of the country that has been talked of siLce
the war.
Lieut.. Robert E. Evans of the Twelfth
infantry, and Lieut.. Joseph B. Bachelor
of the Twenty-fourth infantry, gave a
resume of the plan to the encampment.
After making careful comparison of the
standing army Of the United States with
those Of other countries, they had concluded
that something must be done to dignity the
militia forces of this country. The c5nsti-
tuition OF the Associations of the National
Guards of the Unitad States" provides that
the National Guards of the various states
are TO be enrolled in the National Guards of
the United States, remaining under state
control in time of peace, but being immedi-
ately available for national defense in case
of war. The governor Of any state will
forward to the Secretary Of War the appli-
cation of any company of not less than
sixty men who desire to join the associa-
ton.
Each cavalry troop will be paid g., 900
the first year it is organized ard $1,000 for
subsequent years. The artillery receives
the same. The infantry companies get
81 900 each.
Lieuts. Evans and Bachelor said the or
gani2ation was TO be effected by bill
which congress was to be asked to
pass the coming session. Petitions are
being gotten up in all states ami the move
ment is widespread, but has been kept
quiet until it leaked out in Camp Wick ham.
The plan is approved by all officers and mon
of the state militia, and also by Adjt. Gen.
Wickham.
