THE CHECK ABOUT COMPLETE.

Mr.. McClanahan. the expert account
ant, who has been engaged for some time
IN rechecking the books of the city audi.
tor, has about completed his work and
Will In all probability make his report at
the next regular meeting of the City
Council. The report will have to be sub
mitted to the Council before it can be
made public, but the impression is that
the discrepancy will amount to about
~, lO0. In view of the TACT that the re-
cent check reported the books about
straight and this one revealing such q
large discrepancy may result in some dis
coveries somewhere. The former check
it is understood was not made with the
particular object Of finding any discrep-
aucies, as the accountant was not expect
ing that such was the case. The system
OF countersigning all warrants issued by
the auditor before they were payable was
adopted by the Council upon Mr.. Jacobs

The latter line, which extends from Gin

by the stockholders of the Baltimore and

SECOND GAME FORFEITED.
The Eastern Girls Win I'm the Basket
Ball ChampiOnship.

Because Of the failure Of the Central
High School team to put In an appearance
at the Carroll Institute gymnasium at 80
yesterday Afternoon. the hour set for the
second game. to determine the champion
High School girls team of basket ball, Um-
pire Joyce gave the game to the Eastern
School team. The first game was won by
the Eastern School girls last Saturday
morning by a score of to 4, and the Sec
ond and deciding game going to them by de-
fault they, therefore, hold the champion
ship.
1t had been generally believed that be-
cause Of the reported indisposition of Miss
Kate Tyndall. the captain of the Central
School team, the second game would be
postponed until tomorrow morning But
when Miss George Forbes, the captain of
gymnasium yesterday afternoon, she in
formed Prof. Joyce that her team had not
consented to the pOstponement, and as she
insist that the game should be called as
previously arranged. Prof Joyce was forced
to declare the game forfeited to the East
err team because of the appearance of
their opponents, and to award the cham
plonshlp to the Eastern girls. Prof. Joyce
endeavored to induce Miss Forbes to con-
sent to a postponement of the contest but
she explained that she had not been in
formed of Miss TyndalPs reported illness
tnat no request for postponement had

would, therefore, have to insist that the
game be played as originally scheduled or
that 1t be declared forfeited
Ihere is said to be not a little feeling
oetWeen the two teams but nothing. Of
course OF an unpleasant nature, the East
ern girls merely insisting upon a strict
application of the rules of the game. while
me Central girls contended that in view
OF their captains sickness technicalities
shouid nave been waived by their oppo-
nents and the postponement allowed The
friends of the Central school team are as
serting that the Eastern girls claimed the
forfeiture because they feared a defeat
II the game was played. To that the East
ern school contingent smilingly reply that
their team merely insisted upon their rights
IN order to spare the Central girls a second
defeat. Then. too. they point out that
Miss Tyndall was at the gymnasium yes
terday afternoon in apparent first-class
condition, and they cruelty suggest that
the Central girls only desired a postpone
ment in order to obtain more practice. But,
be that as it may. the Eastern girls say
that they are the champions, and defiantly
declare that they are ready and willing to
defend the title against the Central or any
other team of girls. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the Central team will challenge
the champions in short time.

Rather Surprising.

A report was made to the police yester-
day that Mr.. Nathan Barber of Cambridge.
Ohio. had been robbed of his gold watch
and chain. Just where the alleged robbery
was committed, or under what circum-
stances the police did not learn. But the
keepers of pawnshops were told of the al
legged robbery, and today the watch was
presented to one of the several "uncles, -
with request for a loan. The pawnbroker
touched the button, and Precinct Detective
Sutton of the first precinct responded.
Il got the watch from a man across the
avenue, the man said and he escorted the
detective over to where he had left the one
who gave him the watch.
This man proved to be Mr. Barber who
seemed somewhat surprised to learn that
a report of a robbery had been made to
headquarters.

THE TONNAGE SYSTEM.
A New Plan Of H9thng Freight on the
Baltimore ahd, Ohio Lines.


Baltimore aid, Ohio Lines.
A meeting of the division superintendents
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad east of
the Ohio river was hs4d Tuesday at Cam
den station to Arrange for the adoption of
the tonnage SYSTEM ffor the handling of
freight.
Under an order issued byeGeneral Man
ager Greene this system will 60 into effect
May I. Its object ispto secure the hauling
OF maximum AMOUNT of freight accord
Ing to certain fixed -tuhes. These were dis
cussed at the meetingarand are designed to
show what each engine under normal con-
ditions OF track ard d,:hand1ing can haul.
This is ascertained by tests made on the
heaviest grades of the division on which
they run.
A unit of weight is provided, which
amounts to six and half tons, and the
performance of each engine being on rec
ord, 1t is known what can be accomplished.
Each car Is marked when loaded and the
weight OF the load, as well as the car. is
SHOWN IN this unit. Such marks indicate
the number of cars to be placed in a train
to be hauled by the engine selected for
service.
AS some engineers are able to handle
tnelr engines to better advantage than
others, this system is calculated to insure
recognition for expert work in this direc-
tion. 1t also establishes new standard
WHICH dii engineers are required to measure
up 10. and enables the accumulation of
data which will be of value in improving
grades and roadbeds. At present trains
are being loaded up to the maximum, and
the new system will, it is stated, insure
the highest efficiency in this direction
:, Ihe system has been in operation on the
lines west of the Ohio river for about six
months. and General Superintendent Gra-
nam reports that it has worked to great
advantage from the standpoint of econ
omy and efficiency. Since it's recent adop-
ton on the Baltimore and Ohio South
western it is said that a gain of from two
10 six cars per train has been secured.
