THE FOERSTEl DEPRECIATION

Decision in the Probate Court of St.
 Louis in Favor of the Ex-City Treasurer
 Michael Faestel-The Suicide Son and
 Assistant Treasurer Made the Scapegoat
 of the Whole Afair-The Case is some
 what Complicated.
 ST. LOUIS, March 6.-Judge Woerner rendered a decision yesterday m the case of Gus V. R. Mechin. assignee of Michael Foerstel, against the estate of Edward Foerstel. The claimant ap- piled to recover s64. 102.1!. which was secured by the city on Michael Foer- stels bond as treasurer. His bonds men paid the amount. and Foer- stcl made an assignment. Then the claim against the estate of Edward Foerstel was filed in the probate court by Foerstel's assignee on the ground that Edward Foerstel was the chief assistant of Michael Foerstel. when the latter was city treasurer, and was the only person who had ac- cess to the books, vaults. etc, equal to the treasurer himself When the de- falcation was discovered it was shown that Edward Foerstel had been in the office during a period of thirty-six hours after his father left and just proceeding the time the deficit was dis covered. The treasurer himself had not been in the office during that period. The point was made in the claim and proven that previous to his appointment as assistant treasurer Edward Foerstel had no property worth considering, and that during his in- cumbency was only paid salary of s2. 400 year, yet at the time of his death it was found that he had made invest ments to the amount of SSO, 900, mostly in the names of other persons. The proof was so overwhelming that the deficit in the treasury was caused by Edward Foerstel that the claim was allowed. This puts about S64, 900 more into the assets of the assigned es- tate of Michael Foerstel. but just what the claim W ill be worth is hard to tell. The bondsnen who have to pay the judgment may recover something, but it is hard to tell what the Edward Foerstel estate is worth at the present time.

Last Saturday was the lightest
pay day in the history of the mines
at JellicO. II the present depress.
ion in coal orders keep up much
longer the worsl is yet to come.
There has not yet been enough
work this month so far to support
the families Of the miners, much
less to pay house rent.
Someone bent on obstruction
turned six loaded bank cars loose
on the track of the Oswego mines
Tuesday, which ran ever the
knuckle and down the incline with
terrible force. Fortunately they
sidetracked before striking the tip
house. Not very much damage
was done save TO the cars, which
were torn to pieces, and II part of
the trestle leading to the tip house.
Last Saturday the Indian Mt,
Coal Co. failed to pay of its miners.
On Monday committe waited
upon the General Manager in re.
gard to the matter of pay. This
meeting was rather unharmonious
and concluded without any agree
ment. a proposition was made by
the management to pay one half on
Tuesday and the remainder on the
10th ofneXt month. This was not
agreed to by the men. On
Monday about fifty OF the
men sued he company on their
