The bondsmen of the ex-treasurer of Pinal county have been notified that the official total shortage is s6,- 19O.O8 and that said shortage must be paid into the treasury of Pinal county on or before the 1st day of Oct, 1899, or suit will be brought against you to collect the same" The notice has also this startlingly amusing announce- ment: "Said dedication occurred since April 1, 1899" Such statement must cheer the gloom in the prisoners cell. It is made through sublime ignorance or in an effort to shield the other county officials (the board and district attprney) from public censure for their inexcusable carelessness and gross neglect of duty. That's what we said. These officials ought to stand their proportion of the loss. Had they performed their duties of examination properly there could not possibly have been such dedication for the bonds men to face.-[ Tucson Frontier.

so SAYS THE DAILY CHRONICLE.

London, Aug. 2Z-There is little fresh
news from South Africa, but it is an
nounced that the government of Natal
has refused to allow the transit of
empty cartridge cases intended for the
Transvaal.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle declares that President
Kruger's concessions are so far reach
ing that it is doubtful whether the
burghers will ratify them. He thinks it
more likely that they will demand Mr..
Kruger's resignation and the appoint
ment of younger man, probably

All the morning papers comment upon
the seriousness of the situation as re-
vealed on Saturday at Birmingham by
the speech of Joseph Chamberlain, sec
rotary of state for the colonies. The
Daily Telegraph calls the speech IAN
informal ultimatum.' The Standard
says it marks the most critical stage
yet reached. The Daily News observes:
I'VE cannot but suppose that such
grave words were we'll weighed before

The Times says: "Such a delicate sit
uation cannot be protracted. We believe
that within the last few days the final
arrangements for the general direc-
ton of the expedition which will be
necessary in the event of a rupture
have been completed at the war Office.
1t is scarcely necessary to point out the
extreme danger of allowing entrance
into South Africa of arms which would
be likely to fall into the hands of the
black population, exceeding the whites
four-fold."

FILIPINO TREACHERY.
Policy Of Cancellation Does
Not Bring About
Good Results.

Manila, Aug. %, via Hong Kong, Aug.
.2L-Recent events have proved some
what discouraging to officials who are
trying to accompany war with a policy
of Cancellation. The new municipal
governments have collapsed through
the treachery of the mayors. Today
the mayor of San Pedro Macati. who
was elected by the people under the di-
rection of Prof. Dean Worcester of the
United States advisory commission for
the philippines, was brought to Manila
and lodged in Jail.
The United States officers at San Pc
dro Macati found that he was using his
of1ce as recruiting station for the
Philippine army Four disguised in
surgent officers were helping him. The
mayor of Baliuag was also arrested and
confined in the same prison. The
Americans caught him passing between
the lines of the two armies with in
eliminating documents which the au-
thorlties secured. Another prominent
native mayor is under surveillance.
When the result of the election at
linus, which Gen. Lawton and Prof.
Worcester engineered was announced,
the Americans inquired as to the
whereabouts of the peoples choice and
were informed that he was in prison
at Biltbid, where the authorities had
placed him on suspicion of being revo-
lutlonlst He was released and in
stalled as mayor
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character, who insist that a great ma
1ority of the natives sympathize with
the lnSurrection and elect officials
whom they know to be reVolutionists.
For two weeks Manila has been po-
Iced at night with unusual vigilance.
Apparently the authorities are expect
ing trouble
The trend of affairs tends to make the
policy of leniency unpopular among the
Americans. When they abandoned
Morong, they burned the whole town.
Col. Smith of the Twelfth infantry
who is in command at Angeles, is scep-
teal regarding Filipino friendliness. In
stead of allowing the natives to return
to the town as heretofore, he has or
dcred his troops to shoot all men trying
to pass the lines and to turn back the
women and children, He recently gave
the Amigos in the town opportunity to
prove their professed friendship, put
ting them to work at digging trenches
and cleaning streets, but this only dis
pleased them.

Church in Pittsbure.

President and Mrs. Mckinley Attend
Church in Pittsbure.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 27.-President
and Mrs Mckinley spent Sunday rath-
er quietly, nothing of special note
transpiring to make the day differ ma
terially from rest day at their Wash
ington home.
The president, carrying out his usual
custom, arose at o'clock, and spent an
hour in the library looking over his
mail. After breakfast, he. with Mrs.
Mckinley and Mrs. Pitcairn, took a
stroll through the grounds surround
ing the Pitcairn residence and then
spent another hour in the library. At
10.45 o'clock the president was driven
to Christ Methodist Episcopal church,
where he heard an eloquent sermon
preached by Rev. Daniel Dorchester,
Phi. D.
In the afternoon, the president and
Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Pitcairn. took a drive through
Schenly park, under the escort of E. NJ
Bigelow, director of public works, and
Max Leslee, chairman of the reception
committee. Before the ride had ex-
tended over about two miles, Mrs. Nc
Kinley became fatigued and the party
returned home.
Iii anticipation of a very busy day
tomorrow, the president retired at an
early hour.

es and constantly making new ones. He
doesn't come, therefore, as a stranger
Great as is the rejoicing of the people,
however, over the appointment of Fa-
Their Tuite as rector of the parish, there
is a manifestation of general regret
over the announcement that Father
Eugene F. Brosnihan, for more than
decade the faithful and efficient first
assistant to Father Scannell, is to leave
the parish. Father Brosnihan is to be
come an assistant priest at st. Bridget's
church in Millbury.
There were a great many people in
the parish that would like to have
seen Father Brosnihan pastor, but it
is the custom of the church to put the
older priests in charge of large parishes
like that of ST. Anne's. Father Brosnl-
han is one of the most talented young
priests in the diocese and is well salts
fed with his assignment by the bishop
to Millbury.
When Father Brosnihan requested
the prayers of the congregation yester
day, there was many a wet eye, for he
has endeared himself to the people,
sharing with Father Scannell, their love
and affection.
Rev. Father Hartgan is to remain at
st. Anne's as assistant priest to Father
Tuite. 1t is understood that the en-
tire labors of the parish will devove
upon the shoulders of these two priests
and that no one will be assigned to
take the place of Father Brosnihan.
The i'll health of Father Scannell in re-
cent years caused the bishop to give
him two assistants, but Father Tuite
being III the prime of life, is said to
have told the bishop that he felt able
to get along with but one assistant. A
priest is like a soldier, he goes where
duty calls him.
Just when Father Tuite will come to
Worcester and take formal charge is
not known, but that ii will be within
a week is certain. He was in Worces-
ter Saturday night and dined with
Fathers Hartigan and Brosnihan. He
announced to them that he was to re-
turn after years of absence, to st.
Anne's as it's pastor.
Following the custom Of the church,
the appointment was kept quiet so that
the first news of the appointment might
come to the people directly from the
pulpit When the announcement was
made yesterday, however, there was no
manifestation of surprise, for the peo-
pie had already read of Father Tuites
good fortune in the Sunday Spy.
The North Brookfeld correspondent
of The Spy, who knows news when il
Is news. and does not wait for an item
to come up and shake hands with him
before he recognizes it, got line on
the appointment and printed the facts.
One reason why no definite date can
be set for the coming Of Father Tuite

Eclair Must Answer
For Publication of
Three Years Ago.
CONCERNING MERCER.
One That He Had Fled to
the Island Of jersey and
Another Of His Arrest

Rennes, Aug. 27-The government
has decided to prosecute the Eclair for
the publication of the "CanailIe de D"
document, one of the four documents
secretly communicated to the Dreyfus
court martial of 1894, which has been
shown not to refer to Capt. Dreyfus at
all
The object of the government is to
discover who communicated it to the
Eclair. The assumption is that the
communication was made by Col. Du
Patty De Clam or possibly by Gen.
Gonse. The publication occurred three
years ago, but, under the law, prosecu-
ton can be maintained at any time
during the following five years.
This evening it is rumored that the
government has decided to arrest Gen.
MERCER, but the rumor is not con-
frmed.
Last evening a report was in circula-
ton that Gen. MERCER had fled to the
Island of Jersey, but this story proved
to be without foundation. Early this
morning the gendarmes were still post
ed outside the residence of Gen. st.
German, military governor of this dis
trict, with whom Gen. MERCER has
been staying during the trial. Their
presence indicated that he was still
there and, in reply to questions, they
declared that they had not seen him
leave the grounds.
This afternoon Gen. MERCER was I'M
doubtedly at home although he declined
to receive callers. No one who has
studied his character and methods be-
lieVes that Gen. MERCER would flee at
the prospect of his arrest. He has al
together too much doggedness in his
composition. Gen. st. Germans house
is in one of the suburbs of Rennes.

STEAMER BURNED.
Crew and Passengers Escape After in
Exciting Experience.

Cleveland O., Aug. 27.-The steamer
which burned off Fairport last night
was the Sir S. II. Tilley, a Canadian
vessel of $50 net tons. The fire start
ed in the engine room and it spread
so rapidly that the engineer did not
have time to shut off steam, and the
crew and passengers, about 20 in num-
Der, had difficulty in escaping.
All the members of the crew save two
and three women passengers and the
cook, were placed in the life boat and
rowcd to the steamers consort. Two
members of the crew remained on
board the burning vessel and after
flashing the wheel, each escaped, one Of
them on hatch cover. and the other
with a life-preserver. The steamer
continued to run in a circle for about
an hour, when the machinery stopped.
The fire continued burning until early
in the morning, the tugs and life-sav-
ing crew remaining in the vicinity. the
wreck was finally towed to Fairport
harbor.

COWARDLY ASSAULT,
Thomas Lynch and
Miss Bridget Ian
non Attacked.
BOTH BADLY BRUISED AND CUT.
Struck From Behind onLake
Avenue in a Lone
ly Spot.

Thomas Lynch, % years old, living at
% Sycamore street, and Miss Bridget
Lannon, living on South Irving street,
were carried to the city hospital in the
notice ambulance last evening from the
Ouinsigamond Boat Club house at the
lake, where they sought refuge after
being assaulted by two unknown men.
LYNCH was suffering from deep cut
on the left temple and cut on the LETT
side Of his mouth, and Miss Lannon
was suffering from a wicked looking
cut on the forehead.
According to the story told by Lynch
to officer Thomas Hurley, who, with
Driver Michael F. Kennedy, went TO
the lake With the police ambulance af-
ter the couple, he and Miss Lannon
were walking along Lake avenue about
& o'clock, talking over personal matter.
When they reached point almost op-
posite the Quinsigamond Boat club
house, he thought some one was follow
ing him and turning round saw two
men walking together. He paid no
particular attention to them until they
got very close to him and again turn
ing round, was suddenly struck twice
by one of them. One blow struck him
in the mouth and the other on the fore
head.
The other man, he says, struck Miss
Lannon, and then both ran away AS
soon as she was struck, Miss Lannon
called for help and then ran up the
avenue leading to the Quinsigamond
Boat CLUB house, where she was admit
ted by Janitor Kelley. Lynch followed
after her, and both were covered with
blood when they got inside.
Miss Lannon fell on the floor in a
dead faint as soon as she got safely IN
side and Lynch was also weak from the
loss Of blood. DR.. L. F. Woodward,
who was at the club house, telephoned
to station ! for the police ambulance
and the coupe were taken to the CITY
hospital and later discharged as soon
as their wounds wafa dressed.
Miss Lannon's cut is about two inches
long and in the opinion of the doctors
at the city hospital it is not the result
of blow from a fist, but must nave
been given by sharp instrument.
Miss Lannon did not recover con-
sciOusness until she was on her way
to the city hospital. Lynch could not
give any reason for the assault last
night, and told officer Hurley he knew
no reason why he or his lady frleho
should have been the victims.
Janitor Kelley of the Quinsigamond
Boat Club told officer Hurley that ne
saw four men running away when ne
opened the door of the house, but Inch
says he noticed only two. The aifsir
is surrounded in mystery and will be
Investigated by the police. The place
where the couple was attacked is a
lonesome spot and it is the opinion OF
the police that the affair would nave
been more serious but for the quickness
with which the couple sought refuge III
the club house. Lynch's cuts may
have resulted from a blow from a closed
fist. but officer Hurley thinks Miss
Lannon was struck with sharp instru-
ment

ANNOUNCED AT MASSES
Father Eugene F. Brosnihan Leaves Wor-
cester to Become Assistant Priest of
st. Budgets in lTillbury-Rev.
Father Hartigan Will Re-
main at st. Annes.

Rev. James P. Tuite of North Brook
field has been appointed by Bishop
Beaver, pastor of st. Anne's church
in this city.
The exclusive announcement in The
Sunday Spy that Father Tuite was to
become the successor of Father Scan
nell, was confirmed at all the masses
at ST Anne's church yesterday morn
ing. To say that the people are well
pleased with the bishops selection
proves the enduring nature of the form
er curates popularity.
Father Tuite was assistant to Father
Scannell in this parish about 20 years
ago, and has always kept in touch with
the church, keeping up old acquaintanc-
