The methods adopted by the suicide

treasury were these: Bonds to the
amount Of $45, 900 were reported by him
as redeemed, when instead the money
had gone into the defaulter's pocket
Bonds to the amount Of 81, 900 were un-
lawfully hypothecated. The remainder,

Was A THIEF.
Young FOerstel Who Took His
Own Life in st. Louis.
He Had Embezzled $63,OoO of
the Treasury Funds.

The General Opinion Seems to BE That
He Had Forged His Fathers Name to
Paper Worth Thousands, and, Seeing
the Truth Was Sure to BE Known, Put a
Bullet Into His Brain.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20.-Monday morning
the vault of the city treasurer at the
city hall was found open and number
of papers therefrom had been placed on
table in the Office and burned.
Later it was learned that Edward
Foerstel, son Of City Treasurer Foerstel,
and assistant to his father, had commit
ted suicide.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20.-The burning of
his fathers records and the suicide of
Edward Foerstel, son of the city treas
urer, is still the sensation of the hour
Young Foerstel died two hours after he
put the bullet into his brain.
When the treasurer, Foerstel, reached
the Office and learned of the fire in the
vaults, almost his first words were:
"When Eddie comes down we will
count the cash, although don't think
there was much there"
A few minutes later the bookkeepers
arrived, and it was learned that there
should be little over $11, 900 in the
safe.
"I've sent for Eddie" said the treas
urer, land | think he'll be here in a
minute"
The father was informed of his sons
suicide, but could not believe it. But
later in the day he assisted in the in
vestigation of the safes and the records.
1t was found that there was deficiency
of at least $63, 900 in the treasury funds.
Was Forger.
A few weeks ago notes for several
thousand dollars, signed michael
Foerstel," and held by man named
Vow, caused local sensation, the treas
urer stating that the signatures were
forgeries. Young Foerstel was charged
with the forgeries, but not prosecuted,
and civil suit was instituted against
the treasurer for the total amount of
the notes. The suits not being pressed,
the circumstance had almost been for
gotten. .....
1t was rumored that on Saturday
last Treasurer Foerstel called his son
into his private Office and accused him
of having been the author of the forger-
les in connection with the Vow notes.
The boy is said to have denied the
| charge, and his father, very much ex-
cited and worried over the matter, is
also said to have given Eddie to under
stand that he had sufficient proof to
Justify him in dispensing with his serv-
ices in the treasurers office after Mon
day.
1t also developed that Eddie was in
deep financial straits as the result of q
real estate DEAL
The police can not shake off the sus-
picion that young Foerstel set the fire
that was discovered in time to save the
records. They believe that he laid his
plans to prove an alibi in the case. The
city hall was total wreck and in the
ruins lay the records Of the treasurer's
Office.

BLAINE AND PR EsIDENCv.
1t In Now Said he Will Accept the
Nomination If II In Offered Him.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-A devoted
friend of Mr.. Blaine's told reporter to-
day that it was absolutely certain that
Mr.. Blaine would accept the nomination
for the presidency if it should be offered
to him by the convention. lie said he
had talked long and earnestly with Mr..
Blaine, and that he could say positively
tina he would not decline the NOM
ination if offered to him, though he
did not desire it and would not
seek it. The new impetus that is
being given to Blaine talk is a matter
of great interest to politicians of both
parties. There is probably no one who
doubts that Mr.. Blaine is sincere in his
desire to avoid the responsibility and an
noyance that would come upon him as
the candidate of his party, but there is a
very large element in the party who can
not reconcile themselves to the thought
of his retirement from public life without
having the highest honor there is in
politics. There are many Others who
feel that the success of the party may be
dependent upon his acceptance of the
nomination. that he could surely be
elected, and that possibly no one else
could. These men simply will not give
up the idea cf Mr.. Blaines nomination

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 13.-As early
as 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the del,
egates to the democratic state convcn-
ton began to assemble in the Harrisburg
opera house. Tickets of admission were
not given out by State Chairman Wright
until this morning, and there were con-
sequently much confusion. Every safe
guard was thrown around the distribu
tion of tickets for the reason that it was
feared that those not friendly to Mr..
Harrity and the state administration
might counterfeit tickets and fill the
hall with an undesirable class of visitors.
When the convention was called to
order at noon the lower floor of the
opera house was filled with 463 delegates
and two galleries were packed full Of
spectators. No convention held here in
years has attracted such crowded CALLER
les. AS the various party leaders en-.
tered and were recognized they were
greeted with applause which was i'll all
cases impartially bestowed.
The convention was raped to order
by Chairman Wright at 1910, and bus.
mess was formally begun by the read
ing of the call of the convention is
sued Jan 80. The calling of the roll of
delegates occupied As minutes, many
substitutions being made. Then John r.

chairman and he was elected unani-
mously.
In the course of his speech on taking
the chair, Mr. Beltzhoover took occasion
to refer in mplimentary terms to Gov,
Pattison and Grover Cleveland. These
references were received with cheers long
continued. One individual in the gallery
shouted Whats the matter with Hill?'
but only groans and Kisses followed the
mention of the name of the New York
democratic leader.
After the adoption of the report of thu
credentials committee the platform was
read and another controversy arose owe

NEEDS QUAY.
The other Side of Recent
story.

The other Side of a Recent
WASHINGTON, April 11.-A despatch
printed this morning in New York
newspaper to the effect that the president
recently warned Postmaster-General
Wanamaker, in the presence of several
prominent Pennsylvanians, against SEN
ator Quay, has afforded no little amuse.
ment to politicians here. The presl-
dents opinion of Quay is, of course, well
known. He advised Quay, after the
Worlds series of damaging publications
had brought down upon him the con
tempt of the country, to retire from the
chairmanship Of the republican national
committee, but since that time he has
treated Quay rather tenderly. He has
not, it is true, yielded to all of Quay's
importunitics about Offices, but he has
done nothing to offend him, and he has
been very far from abusing him in com.
pany.
The truth is that the president is anx'
ious to re-establish friendly terms with
Quay. In the language of the street, he
/ is beginning to need him in his business
and il one or two snug places here and
there thrown to Quay's followers would
call Quay back to his side the appoint
ments would be made tomorrow. The
difficulty is that Quay is constant,
pushing applicants Tor iudgeships, anc
the president realizes that to farm ou
patronage of that character to a maj
like Quay would be to completely dis
credit the bench.-N. Y. World.
