gal Transactions.

gal Transactions.
New York, March II. - The first Of
fetal announcement of the amount Of
bonds which John Y. McKane has failed
10 account for tn the town of Gravesend
was made yesterday by the board Of audit
Of the town. Charles E. Overton, mem
Der of the board speaking for his asso-
ciates said that he had gone over the en-
tire bond issue and found that McKane
had failed to report for at least S200,0 900 Of
the bonds, and had disposed of some OF
them in an Illegal manner. The board has
made a demand upon the sons of the con-
victed man, George and James, for an ac-
counting Of these missing bonds
While the board of audit was holding
meeting at police headquarters McKane's
friends were chasing about the Brooklyn
banks endeavoring TO trace the bonds and
money which McKane's accounts gave no
clew to the expenditure of. A message
was received from George MoKane before
the board adjourned saying that he would
make report by Tuesday, but the time
was by courtesy extended till Thursday.
The missing bonds were signed by Town
Treasurer Morris and countersigned by
Town Clerk Vorhis, who are both deeply
interested in the present investigation.
Friends o '.rkane declare that it makes
no difference mat the outcome of the in
vestigation may be, as the estate of Nc
Kane is exhausted and the town must lose
the money.
The taxpayers investigation committee
have developed more irregularities in the
operations of the excise board in the saloon
licenses and hack licenses.

An Alleged Confession.

Here Col. Breckenridge spoke very
slowly and reproduced the mournful
tones which young woman might use
in making such a confession: "She said:
L gave him a higher proof than that
contract Then 1 said she ought to
marry him anyway. She said: Il can't
1 have grown away from him. 1 know
what other men are and his very
presence is offensive to me- / replied:
You can't afford not to marry him; a
young girl as you are Then the con-
versation drifted away. There was
nothing more / could say. She seemed TO
have said all she cared to-"
There was an exquisite minor key OF
retrospective pathos as the colonel sank
his voice through these passages.
THE conversation drifted away" he
repeated renectively. lingering the bible

friends had great trouble in preventing
her from making an cutlery.
Mr. Buttcrworth continued How
often did you see the plaintiff in the
fall of 1SS5?'
Occasionally, but not often. How

Describing his movements in 1885, Col.
Breckenridge spoke OF his connection
with the Morrison bill in congress
barbecue given him by his constituents
and his attendance upon confederate re-
unions.
II am unable TO recall a single in
stance when l saw the plaintiff in the
year of 1885," he continued. and then
telling how he had happened to stop
at Miss Hoyt's, in Lexington, where
Miss Pollard boarded, he said that the
noise at the Phoenix hotel kept him
awake at night and that a friend had
recommended the boarding house to him
as a quiet place. The fact that Miss
Pollard was stopping there had nothing
whatever 10 do with the change. He was
receiving a large mail of daily papers
with some books. a part Of which he
turned over to the eStimable old ladies,
to Miss Pollard and to another young
lady there. He did not advise her con-
corning her reading.
During that time were there any inn
proper relations between you?"
None whatever We met just as 1
met the other ladies. There was no
suggestion by word or syllable that inn
proper relations had ever existed be-
tween u.s.
