ARRESTED AT SEA
PHILADELPHIA'S BANK PRESI-
DENT A PRISONER.
HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO BRAZIL.
A United States Marshal and Two
Detectives on the Same Ship.
Dectives Guarding Treasurer
Bardslsy at His Home.


NORFOLK, Va, My 20.-Marsh, the alb
sconding president OF the Philadelphia
bank, is undoubtedly prisoner on the
Brazilian mail steamship which left here
yesterday. Just as the vessel left the
United States Marshal with two detec-
tives reached the dock. They were bare
ly in time, but managed to scramble on
board and have gone to sea with the
fugitive.
There is intense interest here as to the
outcome. If the marshal asserts his au-
thority the captain of the vessel must set
his detectives and Marsh ashore. This
will probably be done at some point out
side the capes, and the next known of
the quartet will be their arrival at some
city still further south.
1t may be that tha party may be car
ried as far as Florida, but it is not
thought the captain of the Brazilian yes
sci will refuse to obey the marshal's order
to land them at the nearest American
port

ANOTHER DEPRECIATION BY BOYS.
They Break Into a Fruit Stand,
but Secure Little-A Suspicion
that Others are Behind
Them.

Last night the fruit stand at the corner
of Market and Centre streets, owned by
Frank Spauia was broken into. The
stand has attached to it small place of
shelter in which the proprietor sits during
rough weather and in which he is supposed
to keep some Of his stock after business
hours.
The door Of this place of shelter was
fastened by a flap, staple and paddock.
The burglars last night forced the staple
and gained admittance to the place, secur-
ing few bananas and box of cigars. A
popularity of the robbery is that it is but a
few nights since the stable owned by Otto
Carl, on the same block, was broken iuto
by forcing the staple and at the time the
boys were caught in the latter oct it was
believed they we're acting as "feelers"
for older heads. The similarity of
the two burglaries, in the same
neighborhood and within few nights of
each other, leads to the suspicion that an at
tempt has been made to build case in
favor Of the boys already in custody by
committing an act as near alike the other
as possible to give the impression that the
real parties who broke into Carls stable
are still at large, If such is the case it is
quite natural to believe that the supposed
hackers of the "feelers" robbed the fruit
stand

IT'S A SUCCESS.
That is the. Way the "Chronicle'
Puts II.


The Schuylkii! Press Association in the
first year If its existence has been a good
thing if for nothing Else than to convince
the members that some of their editorial
brethren do not wear horns, and to awaken
among others respect for the printing
press that was not heretofore entertained.
The several gatherings, held since May,
1890, have thrown the members of the pro-
fession of Schuylkill county into the hap
piest relations with each other Some cf
them still shout liar in italics but no one
pays any attention TO that, because the
man who uses that sort of argument is
sized up to his pror9r estate very quickly,
and ooner or later the Schuylkill Press
Association will eliminate that sort OF
journalism by force of contact
But while the members of the press Of
Schuylkill county are getting together
a very large majority are already together
and the others must get there or have a
very lonesome time, there are others who
have learned the lesson the organization
was intended to teach. They no longer go
off to job Offices to get their work done,
and then expect the newspapers to puff
them. Every newspaper office in the
county depends on the job Office attached
to IL to certain extent. Printing news
papers is only a means to an end. It is
hard work with but little outcome In
times gone by people have gone off to job
offices that were unencum6ered with news
papers and got their printing done, and
then asked-and expected-to be puffed by
other offices.
The Schuylkill Press Association is put
ting an end to that. The reports yester-
day were very gratifying on that score as
on every other.
To which we, one and all, agree.

BARDsLEY A PRISONER.
The Arrest Of Philadelphla's City Treas

The Arrest Of Philadelphla's City Treas
urer May Bring Out Exposures.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-The great
climax has come in the bank failure SEN
sation and the matter of the accounts Of
John Bardsley, city treasurer, and holder
of almost 81, 100000 of money belonging
to the State.
Bardsley has been arrested, and is now
watched by tive detectives in his elegant
residence at Germantown. He is too i'll
to be taken to court or prison, but 1t Is
expected that he will be arraigned to-
morrow.
The warrant was issued by Mayor
Stuart, when he learned that the records
of the city treasurer's Office are irregular,
that his books are crooked, and that
there are gross discrepancies in his bank
accounts, and that the experts appointed
by Mayor Stuart have already discovered
condition of affairs which indicates
that the recent revelations are merely the
beginning of series Of still more as
founding exposures.
"There will be some big corpses lying
about this city," said one of the persons
who is interested in an official capacity
in the investigation, "and If John Bards
ley Will Uell tne truJn Cnete VIII DC an eX'
odus to South America or some interest
ing additions to the penitentiary popula
ton. Philadelphia will furnish a sensG
ton for the whole country"
Mrs. Bardsley, who is almost wild oveI
the whole affair, has promised Mayor
Stuart that she will use all her power tc
make her husband tell everything he
knows in relation to the defunct banks
and the citV of1cialg are hoDin0 THAI ere

MADRID, May 25.-The government Is

the early part of the year, and they are

CURED here about midnight. Lord
William Romily was in his drawing room
at his London town house, No. OWING
ton Gardens, S. W, when he accidentally
upset paralIlne lamp, causing blaze
which set fire to the apartment.
Lord Romily attempted in vain to e4-
tinguish the flames, which spread, caus-
ing a suffocating smoke. His lordship
was overcome by the smoke, and sank
senseless to the floor.
The butler, smelling the smoke, rushed
to the drawing-room. There he found
Lord Romily helpless. He at once pulled
his lordship out of the room, and by his
cries aroused the other servants.
An alarm of fire was given, and en-,
gines hurried to the scene and soon ex-
tinguished the flames. The firemen, en-
tering the bouse, found two Of the ser
wants, Blanche Griffin, the housemald,
and Emma Lowell, the cook, both sense

life failed. Both the servants named
were already dead when carried TO the
hospital.
Lord William Romily was descended
from the great jurisconsult, Sir Samuel
Romily. His father was also an eminent
lawyer. He was himself born IN 1888.
He leaves a widow, Lady Helen Denison)
