Marsh is Still Missing.
HUNDREDS OF MEN SECURING THE
WOODS AND SwAMPS TO FIND HIM.

PHILADELPHIA, June a2.-District
Attorney Graham returned from Spring
Lake this morning, but would add very
little to what is already known of the
alleged presence of Marsh at that place,
and the assault npon MAX Freeman"
the mysterious Philadelphia detective.
He, however, gave an encouraging
report of "Freemans' condition, and
said that it was now believed that he
would recover from the effects of the
terrible blow given him by his assail-
ant. While it was at first feared that
if the blow did not cause death the
victim would lose the use Of his lower
limbs, his physician now thinks he
will eventually recover.
"Max Freeman as the detective
has chosen to be known, is one of the
brightest and aDlest of the Philadelphia
newspaper men. His right name is
Thomas Garside, and previous to his
coming to this city and entering upon
newspaper work he was, as Professor
Garslde, generally known as a labor
agitator, and had a reputation which
extended over two continents. He
is the Professor Garside who took
charge of the Jewish cloakmakers'
strike in New York, and whose ex-
ploits at that time the New York pa
pers devoted colums to recounting.
He has lectured extensively both in
Europe and this country on social and
economic questions, and has been for
years high up in the labor organlza-
tions of this country. A little less
than a year ago he came to this city,
and took a position on the local staff
of the Times, where he soon won rec
ognition as bright and capable re-
porter.
That the man he was after at Spring
Lake was Marsh there seems to be no
doubt. Garside, during the Keystone
bank run, was at work on the story,
and met Marsh frequently. Since that
time, through all the interesting devel-
opements, he has been at work on the
case. With his knowledge of the in
side workings of the Keystone bank he
had but little trouble in tracing Marsh
to Spring Lake, led to this conclusion
by his knowledge of the intimacy be-
tween Yard and the fugitive bank pres
ident. Garside by his friends is known
to be man brave and fearless to a
fault, and his rash attempt to arrest
the man he believes to have been
Marsh, practically unaided, causes no
surprise.
MIR. Graham had as long an inter-
view with Garside as his condition
would allow, and the injured man told
all he knew. The district attorney
learned enough at once to send to this
city for detectives, and three OF Chief
Woods men are now at Spring Lake
searching for the men who were at the
lonely cottage at Como and from
one of whom Garside received his in
iuries. One of these men the authorl-
ties are convinced is Marsh. Garslde
caught glimpse Of him as he was dis
appearing in the darkness, and is con-
fdent it was Marsh.
1t is now thought that Marsh has
taken to the swamps or woods, and
hundreds of men are securing the
country in search of him.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1891-06-26

The point upon which the officials
lay greatest stress is that the heavy
disbursements for June are past, and
that from now until the end of the
month, which will also be the end Of
the fiscal year, the receipts from Gus
toms and other sources will make good
the present deficit and afford besides
surplus of 5000, 900 or $4,000, 900.
That is purely an estimate. But
admitting it to be correct, it does not
make verv bright the prospect for
July. In that month there will be, as
there have been in this month, heavy
drafts for pensions; in all probability
heavier than during this month. The
Pension Office is approving thousands
of claims, and beginning to call for al
most fabulous sums Of money.
The Treasury receipts, on the other
hand, are exceedingly small, as the re-
suit Of the McKinly bill, and are
likely to get smaller. The Protection
lists declared in framing their bill that
their object was to stop the importa-
ton of foreign goods, and the reduc-
:tion of the revenues from imports
shows that they are in a measure re-
alizing their expectations.
So that, with the receipts growing
every month smaller and the pension
drafts every month larger, a surplus of
only $4,000, 900 or $S,ooo,ooo with
which to begin the new fiscal years
business on is likely to prove but a
mere bagatelle. There can be no reaon-
able doubt that the amount is entirely
too small to be taken into serious &C
count in estimating the gravity and
necessity Of the existing situation.
The Secretary of the Treasury insists
on characterizing the $40, 900 Of
subsidiary coin in the Treasury as
available assets, in the face of the
fact that it is not legal tender for debts
in sums above $40. A provision of
the law makes such coin absolutely
unavailable for the Governments pur
poses. 1t could not be used to dis
charge any important obligations.
The question is being asked here,
how in the end will this matter be re-
medied? The Government cannot
continue to run so closehauled to the
wind. 1t would constantly be in
danger OF swamping. The receipts
from customs under the Mckinley bill
cannot possibly be heavy, and from
other sources they necessarily will be
light. but all the time the big drafts
drawn by the last Congress will be
coming in, and in some way will have
to be met. But in what way' How
will the necessary money be raised3
1t will be difficult problem to solve.
Again the wisdom of Mr.. Blaine is
revealed. When it was proposed to
put sugar on the free list, MIR. Blaine
advised against it. He pointed out
that the appropriations were likely to
be large, and that the one item OF in-
creased pensions ought to make the

Alice's mother, and the girl first made
his acquaintance at that lady's house. He
made him self very entertaining, and she

John Mantel noticed all this, but did
not attach any importance TO it until
Alice's name began to be frequently men,

at last, "and am glad TO discover the

they were soon whirlIng away up the road.
Far ahead the girl could see the tall

she smiled as she realized that in a few
minutes they would pass HIM.
This will show him how little care, ="
she thought.
Presently they were close upon him,
and. hearing the carriage approach, John

DELAY IN TAX ASSESSMENTS.
Work Of Extending Taxes Will
Hinder the Commissioners.

The Deputy Commissioners OF Taxes and
Assessments will begin Sept. their annual
round for the purpose OF assessing the value
OF the city real estate for next years rolls.
The law requires that this work shall be
begun on that date, and continued until 1t is
completed; but this year 1t is liable to be In
terfered with because OF the action OF Presi-
dent Arnold, OF the Board OF Aldermen, In
directing the Tax Commissioners to extend
the taxes on the rolls for the present year.
The Consolidation act provides that this
work shall be done under the direction OF the
President OF the Board OF Aldermen, who has
the power To employ the necessary clerks TO
do the work; but since the days OF the Com
mittee or Seventh 1t has been done In the
Tax Department for economy's sake.
The present Tax Commissioners claim that
the extension should be made by the Board
OF Aldermen, as 1t is check on and proof OF
the correctness or incorrectness OF the figures
OF the Tax Department. They also claim that
the additional work thrown on their shoulders
by President Arnolds order hlnders and de-
lays them In the performance OF the duties
required OF them by statute.
