THE sARDsLEY DEFALcATloN.

Final Report Of the Expert Accountants
Received by the Councils Committee.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-The subcom-
mittee Of councils finance committee, ap-
pointed TO investigate the Bardsley defalca-
ton, has received the final report Of the ex-
pert accountants. A large mass Of accumu-
lated correspondence was read and placed
on file. During the meeting while the
question Of the school funds, which had
been misappropriated by Bardsley, was un-
der discussion, Mr. SmitheB announced
that he had received information that the
state was Withholding from the city treas
ury all the money due the city pending the
suit for the state moneys lost through
Bardsley, while the city treasurer is paying
over regularly all the money due the state.
Expert Brown presented a final report Of
the investigation Of the accounts of John
Bardsley. He said that Bardsley had ad-
vancod 10 the Bradford Mills company, out
of the state funds in which ths city had an
interest, S444, 265. 25 and had received in re-
turn from the company S113, ,Sl4.47, leaving
q balance not returned Of $3.50, ,450.7S He
said the capital stock Of the Bradford Mills
company was placed at 100000, divided
into 1000 shares Of par value Of $50. Be
tween 1888 and 1891, $500 shares Of stock
had been issued and used as collateral by
Mr.. Bardsley. but none Of the capital had
been paid up until December, 1890 when
Mr.. Bardsley is credited with $780, ,OOC
placed to that account.
A resolution was adopted declaring that
the committee had gone as far in the in
vestigation as it was possible to do, owing
TO the refusal of the federal authorities tc
permit further IN f,estigation of the book
and papers of the broken banks, and de
Gliding 70 end the taking of testimony and
proceed at once to prepare the report foi
the general committee.

IF THERE Is ANY ONE THING IN Carbon
county that is more unjust than
another it is the only too plain dis
elimination in the valuation OF farm
and coal lands. The average rate OF
assessment of farm lands per acre is
about $40. 90 while the average valuation
of coal lands is but little more than
S65 per acre. Is this fair? There IS
not coal operator in Carbon county
who would willingly sell, bargain or
alien one acre of his coal land for the
best farm in the county, and yet II
the township OF district assessor rates
this priceless coal property at any way
near a fair and square figure this
greedy, grasping, avaricious operator
with a swarm of special corporation at
torneys and lick spittle hirelings lift
their hands in holy horror at the out
rage on their feelings and pocketbooks
and sweep down on assessor and com
missioners with haste and fury only
equalled by their effort to cheat the
courtyard people out of their fair share
OF taxes. The fame Of Carbon county
commissioners will live forever if they
resist the coal operators and corpora
tions in their effort to have theii
valuation reduced below what is only
an honest valuation of property that
cannot be bought for any PAIGE. Oul
present board Of county commissioners
are men Of more than average ability
and intelligence and we firmly believe
that they will give the assessors tul
support; as indeed they should undel
all legitimate circumstances.

II Threatened to BE Serious for Time
but Was Finally QueIled.
RIO JANEmo, Jan. 2i.-After a season Of
comparative tranquility this city has again
become violently disturbed and the citizens
have been thrown into a state Of excitement
approaching the feeling which prevailed
here during the uprisinRs which resulted in
the dethronement and Punishment Of the
late Dom Pedro and the overthrow and sub
sequent retirement to private life Of the
dictator, General da Fonseca
The trouble began yesterday evening,
when 100 prisoners, confined for various
offenses in Fort Santa Cruz, situated on the
east side of the entrance 10 the harbor of
Rio Janeiro and two miles south Of the city,
mutined and succeeded in overpowering
and disarming the guards and soldiers sta
toned at the place.
Emboldened by their success, the prison
ers resolved 10 extend their scope Of opera
tions. Armed with the weapons taken from
their former guards, they advanced upon
Forts Pico and Lago, overcame the soldiers
on duty and took possession Of the two forts
and all the munitions Of war which they
contained.
Flushed by their victories, the prisoners,
after perfecting all their arrangements for
guarding the forts against the attacks
which they knew the government would
surely make TO dislodge them, boldly de
manded the restoration to power of the de-
posed dictator, General da FOnseca The
government officials, when they became
aware Of the gravity Of the situation hur-
ried all their available forces to the scene Of
the uprising
The efforts of the soldiers were directed
against Fort Pico. They made combined
grand assault on the works, and after a
show Of resistance by the rebels the troops
carried the fort and the government was
again placed in possession.
In tho meantime the gunboats were bonn.
harding Fort Santa Cruz, and so effective
was their work that the rebels were soon
forced to throw down their arms and sur.
render themselves to the authorities. The
prisoners, after their brief and exciting pc
riod Of freedom, were again placed in cells
and q strong guard was detailed TO watch
over them TO prevent a repetition Of the
stirring scenes which followed their out
break from the fort.
