THE MISSING MONEY.


EhiAAueAph1a DetccC1Ves Ihtnk They Have
a Clew to Bardsley's Transactions.
PHILADELPHIA, June S.-The detective!
in the employ of the city have at las
secured what they think will prove
clew to the mystery surrounding the
transactions between Bardsley and the
Keystone Bank. After two weeks of dill
gent search they have secured large
number of checks from Mr.. Magill
Bardsley's assignee. These checks were
drawn against the five banks in which
the city's money was deposited, and the
authorities think that by carefully going
over these checks they can tell where the
missing million has gone.
Bardsley's business plans were very pc
culiar. His custom was to place the
city's cash in the five banks designated
by ordinance, and then gradually draw IL
out and make the checks payable to tha
Keystone Bank. Through the whole oil
his term Bardsley's transactions always
seemed to be mixed up with the rotten
institution. The point of the whole
thing now hinges on these checks, and il
they bear the name of any private per-
son trouble may be expected. 1t is said
that If any of the checks were issued tc
or drawn by any other persons than those
connected with the banks, arrests will
Immediately follow. Bardsley had gath
cred all of these checks and secreted
them in his private office.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker re
fused to say whether he is to appear be-
fore the CounciPs investigating committee
and help.to clear up the Keystone Bards
ley mystery. Bardsley and President
Kennedy spent the day quietly in prison
Bardsley is improving rapidly in health
and will have second hearing next
Friday

A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
The Alliance to Make a Test of the SUBJ
Treasury Plan.

treasury Ilan.
TOPEKA, Kan, June S.-The Executive
Committee of the Farmers Alliance of
Kansas is considering gigantic scheme
which will at once test the practicability
of the Sub-Treasury warehouse plan. Mr..
j. Hopkins of New. York, who was q del
egate to the Cincinnati Convention from
the Economic Club, is the originator of
the plan, which is to establish a bank in
each county of the State under the di-
rection of the local Alliance Exchange
In connection with each bank is to be an
elevator or storehouse.
A farmer may then dump his grain
into the elevator, receiving for it a check
for so per cent. of the value of the grain
deposited. By paying a small per cent.
for storage and insurance he will be al
lowed to keep his grain in the depository
until such time as he may deem it best
to place it on the market.
Corn, silk, castor beans or other i'm
psrishable products may be stored, and
deposit checks to the amount of so pei
cent will be issued The scheme will be
tested by the Alliance of Kansas.

Coke Workers to BE Reorgantzed.

P1TTsBURG, June S.-Efforts will b,
made at once for the complete reorgani-
cation of the miners in the coke region
by the United Mine Workers of America.
Vice-President Penna of that organiza-
ton said: ''Our fight against the coke
operators must be maintained as long as
we cannot get our rights. The fight
cannot be evaded. 1 believe it will not
be long before there will re another
strike in the regions. The settlement at
present is one purely through force. The
men have no obligations, moral or legal,
to remain at work for three years. A
settlement like the present one will never
remain in force"

Refused Financial Aid.

1S years old, who has probably been en-
gagged in n whole sale swindling of clergy
men, tried to kill to the Rev. DR.. Clark
Wright, pastor of the fremont Methodist
Episcopal church at 11Sth street and
Washington avenue, on Saturday night
His only provocation was that the
clergyman would not give him the finan-
cial aid for which he asked. After shoot
ing at the pastor he made his escape, but
he had the hardihood, to return to Mr.
Wright's house last night. He was met
by the pastor, who held him until a
policeman arrived. He was locked up in
the fremont police station.

The Anti-Kidnappine League.

NEW YORK, June S-The Anti-Kidnap-

resolutions that the case of Mrs. Soprania
Northrup, whom official investigation
shows was imprisoned eight months in
the lunatic asylum at St. Paul, Mimi,
without lawful authority and without
being insane, is a fragrant outrage, a
signal disproof of the statement of the
National Convention of Asylum Superin-
tendents that no sane person was ever
imprisoned in an asylum, and clear
proof of the need for the Anti-Kidnapping
Unions existence.

Three Brothers Bitten by Cattle Afflicted
With the Disease.

KANSAS CITY, June S.-A short time ago
a mad dog bit a steer, one of herd of
cattle belonging to Vanderburg Bros,
living in Atchison county. The steer was
soon afflicted with hydrophobia, which
spread to the remainder of the herd.
There were three of the Vanderburg
brothers, and each of them was bitten by
one or another of the afflicted animals.
The brothers paid no particular atten-
lion to their injuries until Friday, when
one of them became violently i'll with
hydrophobia. Last night he died in the
most eXcruciating agony. To-day an
other of the brothers died, and the third
is not expected to live more than day
or two.
