SURPLUS TREASURERS.


Philadelphia Has More Officers Than Cash
for Them to Keep.
PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-Both branches of
the city council to-day accepted the resigna-
ton of City Treasurer Bardsley. The six
democrats in the select branch entered a
formal protest against allowing man
charged with such serious crime to re
sign. Richard &. Oellers, business mana
ger of the Record, was elected to fill the
uuexpred term of Bardsley. Tho demo-
Gratis refused to take any part in this cleo
ton. While the meeting was in progress
the democrats endorsed Redwood Wright.
Gov. Pattison's appointea. Bardsley's
resignation will take effect on Satur-
day next and then Philadelphia will have
two city traasnrars, one named by the city
council and county commissioners, md Que
by the governor. The question of who is
treasurer will probably be brought before
the courts at once. Investigation to-day
developed tho fact that Bardslev had had
considerable dealing with other brokerage
firms besides Glendennin Il Co., and tho
inference is that he specuated through
these firms. The rer ort that Bardsley had
hypothtcated seouriteies of tho sinking
fund il denied by Mayor Stuart. District
Attorney Graham to-day took out another
warrant for BGrdsley' arrest, charging him
with perjury, in violating his oath of office
in using public money for his own gain.

BUTTE, May 27.--ISpacial. l--0oorpc r.
Woolston, general manager of the Butte
consolidated street railway, had olasa
call from being lynohed by mob hsro al
about nine O'Clock this evening. Woolaton
had discharged q. II. Boyle. one OF the
conductors, for being found drunk
on duty and the lattor little
later entered Wooston'f Office aud began
abusing him. Woolaton tried to reason
with Boyle, but to no purpose, and the
latter finally struck Woolston blow In the
face. This blow was followed by second
and third. but in trying to de-
liver fourth, Boyle missed hid
footing and fell down flight OF
stairs to the sidewalk below,
the fall breaking his nose and otherwise
injuring him. Boyle was picked up in an
unconscious condition and carried TO
drug store, but later was removed to tho
hospital where his injuries were diagnosed,
with the result mentioned. Woolston has
many enemies in Butte, especially among
the city and county officials, and
report was soop circulated that he had
thrown tho man down the stairs and killed
him. On the strength of this accusation he
was arrested at his office little later by
Chief Leyden and Under Shoriff Gallagher,
and when the officers started to escort
their prisoner to the Jail they were
met at the door by mob numbering
about 600 persons, who began to yell Justify
and cry "Hang him" "hang him'' Ths
officers started up the middle OF Main
street, with the bowling mob following
closely behind. Wooston was badly fright
ened. As tho officers turned into Granite
street some one struck the prisoner blow
over the head With heavy club
almost knocking him down, but no n H
violence was offered before the Jail was
reached. Here another attempt was mad0
to club him. but the officers succeeded in
getting him behind the bars, where he re-
mained for an hour. While in jail,
Woolston sent for an attorney
who succeeded in getting him
out on bond of $1,000,
T.. r. Congdon and George f. Pasco, be-
coming his sureties. The affair was one of
the most disgraceful scenes with which
the city has ever been afflicted. and is no
credit to the city's police force. The mob
was composed chilly of hoodlums, with
which the place is overrun.
