MAY SOLVE THE MYSTERY.
BARDsLEY's ASSIGNEE BRINGS SUITS
FOR A MILLION.


The Principal One Is Against the Keystone
Bank, and Is Based on the Alleged Due
Bills-A Promise That Everything Will
Come Out in TIME.
PHILADELPHIA, June 10-Late this
afternoon Edward R. McGill, assignee Of
John P. Bardsley, entered five suits in
Common Pleas Court against alleged debt
ors of Mr.. Bardsley, to recover indebted
ness of the defendants to the assigned estate.
The first and most important of these suits
is brought against the keystone National
Bank to recover s945,0OO the total
amount of IA due bills held
by Mr.. Bardsley's estate as evidences
of Indebtedness against the bank and which
it is believed represents State funds de-
posted in the bank.,l These due bills are
the same as have come to the notice and
been discussed by Councils investigating
committee, and of which no mention is
found on the books of the keystone Bank
as far as known. The other four suits are to
recover upon four promissory notes aggre-
eating S2,27S. Is.
Mr.. Bardsley's counsel, Robert Alexan-
der, during conversation this afternoon,
remarked that the due bills will be only a
link in the chain of evidence by which he
proposed to show that the s945, 900 went
into the Keystone Bank. He declined,
however, to indicate what the evidence
would be, but declared that when the time
came the mystery about the money and
why there was no record of it on the banks
books would be fully cleared up.
Ephraim Young, President of the Mill
ward-Clif Cracker Company, and director
o. II
Bank, was arraigned before Magistrate
Devlin to-day charged with conspiracy with
Francis w. Jeddy, President Of the bank,
to defraud the cracker company of S34, 900
by means of promissory notes. Young
waived a hearing and was bound over in
$40, 900 bail to answer at court. Bail was
furnished and Young was released.

LOOKING AFTER THE INSANE.
Members Of the Lunacy Commission. Visit

Members of the Lunacy Commission. Visit
ing Local Asylums.
James B. Scott, Colonel Henry NJ Boies,
Scranton, and DR.. Henry NJ. Wetherill, of
the State Lunacy Commission, paid a visit
to Dixmont yesterday. During the morning
DR.. Wetherill went through the new insane
department of. the St. Francis Hospital,
which will be opened in a few weeks. The
doctor was greatly pleased with all the ar
rangements, and spoke highly of what
the hospital could afford in caring
for the insane. He pronounced Dix
mont in excellent condition. To-day
the City Poor Farm, Allegheny County
Home and the Almshouse will be inspected.
The trip will terminate with visit to the
asylum at Warren.
DR.. Wetherill gave it as his opinion last
evening at the Seventh Avenue Hotel that a
great many insane persons are scattered
throughout the State who are kept privately.
The commission has no fault to find when
they are treated humanely, but they have
had enough of cruel treatment. The doctor
added that the time for keeping such people
in smokehouses, poorly clad, and in some
cases with no clothing at all, had passed.
He has made 1t his business to investigate
isolated cases Of insanity where cruelty was
charged. Whenever case is reported he
hunts It up OF late none have come under
his notice, but he feels sure it is not because
no such cases exist in the State.

BRIDGEPORT, CAL, June 1O.-A few
weeks ago a Piute Indian named Poker
Tom came here from the Walker river res
ervation, and after purchasing calico spent
two nights gambling with the Chinese. The
second night was spent at,the store of All
Tia, and this was the last seen of Tom.
Walker River Bodie and other Indians,
aroused by the return of Toms horse with
out saddle or bride, came here and COM
rnenced an investigation. The saddle,
bride, calico and overcoat were found in
the fields near the river, but the body was
not found.
y The Indians held court and took the
testimony of five Of their number, who tes-
tilted that they went to All Tia's store on
the, night in question, and through q win
dow saw the Chinamen and Tom gambling.
Some excitement was caused by the wife Of

that she believed Tom was killed by her

Coraopolis Councils Peculiar Manner OF
Evening Up Some Matters.

Coraopolis Councils Peculiar Manner of
Evening Up Some Matters.
The municipal cheese left by last years
Town Council of Coraopolis is but hollow
rind, and the Committee of Ways and Means
is having hard time trying to pull the bor-
ough out of the slough of Indebtedness. This
probably accounts for the expedition made
at Monday nights session in ordering two
miles of boardwalk made instanter. The
Solons appear to have thought to get re-
venge for the refusal of the people on the
26th ult. to vote for an increase of the bonded
debt.
There is snarl of some kind
in the accounts of last years
work. The taxes have been
generally collected, and yet the money is
not in the treasury to show for it, supposedly
from some blunder in bookkeeping. At the
last Council meeting the committee whose
duty it is to keep the books straight, was di-
rected to get to the bottom of the affair, so
that the trouble may be adjusted. Mean
time, the equaliZa ationists, or as the con-
servatives consider them, the Jewelers., are
hard ut work, and some of them say that If
the next triennial assessment cannot be put
on q more equal basis, and the value of some
property put up, the courts will be asked to
umpire the case in a different manner than
that in which it was done six years ago.

TRANSFERRING THE POWER.
Rights and Duties of Allegheny Chiefs
Settled at Last.

conference between the heads of the
Allegheny departments and the chairmen of
the various standing committees was held
at City Hall last night. The City Attorney
read his opinion on the powers of the
chiefs. As has been previously stated
they are simply executive officers with
only power to oappofnt and. discharge en-
ployes as fixed by ordinance. The result of
the conference was that an ordinance will
be presented to Councils tonight transfer
ring from the various committees to the
chiefs the power to purchase materials to
the value of$2o0 without councilmanic en-
to be appropriated by Councils.
Regarding the appointment of Police Mag
istrates it is held that the Mayor has the right
to appoint them, but they must be approved
by Councils, which body must also fix the
compensation. There is some doubt as to
whether they will be appointed. Mayor
Wyman expressed himself against the ap-
pointment a short time ago, but he could not.
be seen last night to tell what he would do.
