PHILADELPHIA, March 31.-The re-

was presented to the councils commit

''The committee advises. first, the pas

that Wanamaker had any dealings with

Wrecking of the Keystone bauk.
Briefly as may be summarized, it Is
shown that Bardsley invested in Specu
lation 81, 1858. This money was paid
to his brokers, Glendenning u Co., prin
cipally through checks on the keystone
bank, though it appears that more than
$l50,000 was borrowed by him from the

escaped destruction. But for the fact
that it was time for all to leave the
wharf and had steam up, four steamers
instead of one would have been de-
stroyed. The Golden Rule, Capt. D. p.
Shinkle, was worth from $4,000 to S25.-
600. She had a fine cargo, estimated at
$4,000. Everything was burned in less
than an hour. The hull foated 200 feet
and sank. The wharf boat was filled
with merchandise, the value of which
could not be learned. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that Miss Nellie Maloney, who lost
her life during the burning of the Golden
Rule, lives in Cincinnati, and was in
terested in a dressmaking establish
ment at 345 West Seventh street. Her
only brother was t. j. Maloney, of
Memphis, who, private advices say,
started by rail for this city tonight.
The fire when it started spread so
swiftly that men with teams in the
great wharf boat were compelled to UNI
hitch their horses and hurry out. leaving
their wagons to be destroyed by the de-
vouring flames. The Cincinnati wharf
boat was insured for Sl2, 500, all in the
Eureka Fire and Marine. The steamer
Golden Rule was insured for $4,000 in
companies for which Capt. G. w. Neare
is agent.
AT midnight fears are felt here that
several lives were lost in the Golden
Rule. 1t is said that fifteen roust-
abouts and deckhands were working in
the hold when the fire broke out.
Chief Hughes, of the fire department,
says that nobody escaped from the boat
after the fire department got there. 1t
is now known that Frank Riley, sec
ond mate of the steamer, has not
been seen since the fire, and his
family in this city fear he is lost.
Roustabouts and deckhands are often
friendleSS and homeless and they would
be the last to be missed. This fact gives
ground 10 fears that several of them
may be lying dead in the hold of the
sunken steamers.
Later reports say thus far five lives
are known to have been lost. These
are: Miss Nellie Maloney, Frank Reilly,
second mate; Jim Madison, mate; Nat
Honor, white deck hand, and an I'M
known woman. Mrs. Easton, of Adj
dyston, suburb of this city, is also
missing, and it is feared she is lost
Three or four others, who were
known to have been on the boat,
but whose names were not obtained, ARE
missing, and the death list may be in
creased to ten or more. None Of the
bodies have been recovered, although
searcherS are diligently at work. Miss
Maloney jumped into the river between
the Golden Rule and Fleetwood, and
her body is supposed to be near the
disaster. She lost her presence of
mind completely, and could have saved
herself by way of the Fleetwood.
Miss Minnie Fitzsimmons. of Coying
ton, who was one of merry party
starting for an excursion to New Or
leans, had narrow escape from being
burned to death, and as result of the
fright and excitement she has become
ravIng maniac and it is feared will be
permanently insane.

some distance away. The girl was well
dressed, and was soon identified as Miss

ALBANY, N. Y. March 31.-The joint
judiciary committee resumed the inyes-
tigation of Judge May nard, of the court
of appeals, this afternoon. John T..
Coldwaller, member of the New York
City Bar association, and member of
the committee of nine who signed the
report asking the legislature to investi-
gate the charges against Judge May
nard. was the first witness. He gave
his views as to the Duchess county
election case.
"What injury did Judge Maynard do
in taking back the returns?' asked Mr..
Ridgway.
He sat by and didn't protest when
the Myiod returns were canvasSed.
Judge Maynard's offenSe consisted in
his determination not to allow the re-
turns to reach the state board of can
vasserS. Judge Maynard had found
the records in public office and had no
right to inquire how they got there.
influence my Judgment, and there was
no political or other feeling against
Judge Maynard in the committee"
Albert Stickney, another of the bar
association committee of nine which
drew the report against Judge May
nard, was next called. He said that he
did not fully agree that Judge May
nard had violated the United States
law and also the state law, as alleged in
the associations report. He said the
fact that Judge Maynard had been a
public officer aggravated his otfense.
At the association meeting where the
report was adopted there were about
500 members present and perhaps 10
adverse voters. He violated profess
siona ethics in advising state officers
to do anything but their plain DUTY.
