THE INVESTIGATING SENATE.
The State Treasurer to be Exr Ined Fir1
Letters of Boyer and Livesey.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. Goat the ses-
sion of the Senate last Thursday it wal
decided that Auditor General McCanlant
should be the first witness put on tho
stand, but yesterday Senator Finn
moved that the State Treasurer be first
examined, owing to the probability OF
his being called out of the city at almost
any time by the serious illness of his
mother. This was agreed to.
Senator Ross was granted permission
to present a resolution authorizing the
attorney general to summon John Bard
sley as a witness. The proposition was
adopted with an amendment empower
ing the attorney general to take similar
action with regard to another witness
whom he might desire to examine in
connection with the case before the
Senate.
All the original letters written by
Boyer and the missing cashier, Livesey,
to John Bardsley. which, together with
those written by McCamant, were main
ly responsible for the calling of the ex-
ira session, were submitted in evidence,
and were followed by the submission of
other documentary evidence, to which
counsel for the State Treasurer and Au-
ditor- General raised no objection.
At the night session of the Senate
Francis B. Reeves, an6 experts Vollmer
and Faunce, were examined to show the
interest received by John Bardsley. 1t
was shown that 5000, 600 was received
in one year, of which 100000 was for
city moneys. The object of Attorney
General Hensel in introducing this testi
mony is to show that about the time of
monthly payment Of interest Bardsley's
stubs indicate that he regularly sent
checks for different amounts to the Au-
ditor-General.
This line of examination is to convince
the Senate that McCamant allowed
Bardsley to hold State monies beyond
the legal req uirement in consideration
of share of the interest money received
by the late city treasurer of Philadel'
phia.
The Senate adjourned at a late hour
last night to meet tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock.

HtM AFFECTIONS COME HIGH.
4 Breach of Promise Suit In Which Plain
tiff Claims 500, 900.

NFw YORK, Oct. 20.-One hundred
thousand American dollars is the meas
ure of the damage claimed by Miss Mar
garet Della Brennan as having been
done to her affections by the refusal of
Percival David Griffiths, a public ac-
countaut of Wall street, to keep an al
legged promise to marry her. She has
brought breach of promise suit for
that amount in the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Griffiths denies that he ever pro-
posed marriage to Miss Brennan. "When
first met this woman on the Etruria
on voyage to Europe in 1888" said he,
"she was pointed out to me by a
friend.
II formed her acquaintance and after
passing two days with her in Liverpool
she went on to Ireland on private bust
ness, while I, shortly afterwards, re-
turned to New York.
81 saw her here afterwards frequently,
but never proposed marriage or thought
of such thing.
II have done everything in my power
for the woman, but lately my energies
have been severely taxed to get rid OF
her. OF course it was foolish for me
to have gotten into her power, but now
that it is all out can do nothing but
face the music.'
Lawyer O'Neill, Miss Brsnnan's at
torney, says that his client is most
estimable and accomplished young
woman of Irish parentage, who num-
bers among her friends and acquaint-
ances such people as Lady Florence
Maxwell, of Airley Cottage, Mount Nu-
gent, Dublin, and DR.. John Burton OF
the Royal College of Surgeons, as well
as many others on this side of the
water.

marriage, Lawyer O'Nell exhibits let
