BIC LOSS TO CITY
THINK DEPARTMENT HAS
BEEN DEFRAUDED
BOOKS HAVE BEEN EXAMINED
Expert Accountant Said to Have I'm,
earthed Strong Evidences of
CrOokedness in County
Auditors Office.

Though the officials of the water de-
partment are reluctant to talk, there is
every resason to believe-in fact, the
board is in possession of evidence-that
the department. has been defrauded out
Of thousands of dollars by fraudulent
practices unearthed in the office of the
county auditor.
taxes is where the department suffers,
an investigation by Expert Accountant
J. o. Cederberg showing that the records
pertaining to the collection of this class
of taxes are SO hopelessly involved and
evidently purposely garbled that the city
will have hard work in securing even
partial restitution.
The board has long held that it was
wrongfully being deprived of the $4,000
accruing from water frontage tax and
penalties, and in order to be exact in the
matter and secure material for posi-
bic lawsuit, placed the affair in the hands
of ]. o. Cederberg. Mr.. Cederbergs In
vestigations of the books in the county
auditors office extend back over period
Of only four years, but that Is sufficient,
according to the report made yesterday.
to show that the city Is even worse off
than was expected.
The investigation shows that in the
sale of tax-laden properly the water front
age taxes were, IN many cases, never IN
GUIDED while in others the amount was
cut in two and credited only as partial
collection. In other cases the amount
collected is missing, it being made to
appear as clerical error. In some in
stances the taxes which appear to have
been misappropriatea amount to as much
as $1,000.
do you think the city has been
touched heavily?" was asked Secretary
Caulficld. '-WeH, Mr.. Cederberg's report
shows many discrepancies that can hard
ly be explained in the light of errors
The report mas been placed in the hands
of the legal department, and until it is
ready to act I can say nothing"
If a period of four years shows a
shrinkage of what is limited at $4,000
what a perusal of the books for fifteen
years back would show allows plenty of
play for the imagination. The water
board is now considering the advisability
Of making an extensive investigation In
stead of the partial one for the four years
looked into.

GOOD BUILDING MONTH
PERMITS FOR NOVEMBER AGGRE-
GATED HALF A MILLION.

The issuing of building permits for
November this year is about the largest
for this month in the history of the city.
In all 113 permits were handed over the
counter, the valuation of the improve
ments involved being placed at S55o,475.
During November of last year only fifty
seven permits were granted. the cost of
the improvements being $50, $50.
While the department had expectations
in excess of the half-million mark, the
officials are satisfied in every way and
hope, if possible, to reach close to the
same figure next month. The city nos
pital annex and several other big struc-
lures are to be heard from, and there is
every prospect that their hopes viii be
realized.

NEW TROOPS ENTER.
British Evidently Intend to Remain in
Pekind.

Peking, Aug. 22-The British troops
who have been here since last year are
leaving and are being replaced by new
commands. Three companies of the
Fourteenth Sikhs and battalion Of
the Sixth Burmah have arrived. Colo.
mel Cary replaces Colonel Alexander
as commander in Peking.
The failure of the British to evac.
uate Peking annoys the Chinese Of
ficials. They alone refuse to permit
Yuan Shih's troops to enter Peking.
though only two of the twelve pro-
posed posts are within the former
British section.
Chinese officials confess that the
reason given for the delay of the
courts return to Peking is mere pre-.
text. The excuse given is the bad con.
dttion of the roads, the heat, the in
trinity of the empress dowager and
the desire to celebrate her birthday
at Klafeng-Fu. The real reasons are
that the powers still retain supremacy
in Peking and vicinity, and evacua
,tion has not been accomplished.
Chinese citizens are becoming OBJ
structionists. They have sent memo
rials to the throne denouncing the Chi
nese officials for assisting foreigners
who thought their aid necessary in the
meighborhood of the capital.

ception, some of the delegates well

are no signs of hostility to the Amer.
leans in the province. The inhabitants
have been struggling with the most
tangled projects.
The military authorities advocated
the appointment of an American for

were opposed by number of the del.
egates who advocated the appoint.
ment of a native. Among those sup

The promised break in the Carnegie

as outward indications go the Lower
Union mill in this city has rot been af-
fected, but the strikers claim they
have seriously impaired it. The strike
leaders are trying hard to gain foot
hold in the Clark mill, which is run

tically at full speed.
There are no new developments at

coLL,DEs WITH FREIGHT TRAIN.
Chicago and Atoms Fast Mail Meets
With Fatal Accident.

Jacksonville, Ills, Aug. 22.-In a
headon collision between the Chicago
and Alton westbound Hummer" and
freight train at Prentice five men
were killed and six badly injured.
None of the passengers was injured
beyond slight bruises. The dead are:
Engineer Sheehan of the passenger
train, Fireman Adams of the the pas.
senger train and three unknown men
riding On the tender of the passenger
train.
The northbound freight train had
been sidetracked at Prentice to allow
the Hummer" to pass. Engineer
Wood of the freight was busy oiling
his engine when the passenger train
came into sight.
An inexplicable exhaust of the cyl.
inder forced the freight engine ahead
so that it passed out on the main line
just as the passenger whirled by at
60 miles per hour.
The engineer and fireman of the
freight jumped in time to save them
selves, but the crew of the fast mail
engine had no opportunity.
The engine, with two coaches of
the Hummer" left the track and the
remainder of the train was partially
telescoped.

Bay View Plant Pays OF Its Striking
Employees.

Milwaukee, Aug. 22.-The Illinois
Steel company has paid off the strik-
ers at its Bay View plant and they are
considered no longer as employees.
Those belonging to the Amalgamated
association were paid the extra Ia
per cent as provided under the new
scale agreement which operated from
July 1, and which was signed few
days before the strike.
Superintendent George l.. Refs made
a significant remark which was to the
effect that the Illinois Steel company
now had the right to employ non
union men If 1t so desired. To this
statement the strikers agreed. Ev-
erything is quiet at the mills and
nothing is being done in the way of re-
pairs which would indicate any incli-
nation of the part of the company to
start up in the. near future. The
strikers are hopeful that settlement
between the national association and
the United States Steel corporation
will soon be effected.

Series Of Mysterious lncendiary Fires
at Alexandria, Mimi.
Alexandria, Mimi, Aug. 22.-Several
mysterious series of fires, clearly in
cendiary and apparently directed
against saloonkeepers, have taken
place in this city. First the building
known as the Corner Saloon, on Main
street, an old landmark, erected in the
early history Of the place, was dam
aged beyod repair.
A few weeks later the icehouse ad-
joining the saloon occupied by John
Miller, on Sixth avenue, was fired.
Within few days the Aberle building
on Main street, occupied as saloon
by Clement Schneiderhan, was set on
fire by the use of kerosene and de.
stroyed.
Last night a pile of rubbish in the
rear of the Sundblad building on the
corner of Main street and Fifth ave-
nue. was saturated with oil and lighted,
but the blaze was discovered and ex-
tinguished before much damage re.
suited.

Shortly before o'clock another
tank exploded, the force of the explo-

flowing over the street and forcing the
firemen to abandon that part OF the
works. The oil ran into the sewer
which empties into the Schuylkill
river and the fire officials say the
sewer is raging furnace and the
flames will probably soon find their
way to the river surface.
All the patrol boats that were throw.

they will not be caught by the burning

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
State Convention in Session at pes
Moines


Des Mcines, Aug. 22.-Democrats
of Iowa met here during the day to
nominate full ticket to oppose that
put in the field week ago by the Re.
publicans at Cedar Rapids and which
is headed by A. B Cummins of this
city.
There were 500 delegates in attend.
ance when State Chairman Huffman
called the convention to order in the
Auditorium. He presented the tenn.
porary officers as follows: Temporary
chairman, E. NJ. Shawan, Scott county;
temporary secretary. E. H. Nash. nal.
las county; temporary clerk, ]. H.
Gillespie.
Chairman Sharon addressed the con.
vention briefly, committees were ap-
pointed and the convention took re.
cess until 1880 p. M.
So far the man to be selected for
the head of the ticket is entirely prob
lematical. Absolute withdrawal by
Cato Sells left half dozen candidates
with only local strength. none CT
whom seems to be satisfactory to the
leaders A delegation called on Sells
during the morning and pleaded with
him to reconsider. However he again
refused to permit the use of his name.
Gossip then veered to Mayor Phillips
of Ottumwa.
At 2 o'clock the convention reassem-
bled. Former Mayor Redmond of Ce.
dar Rapids was introduced as perma-
nent chairman and addressed the con-
vention for 20 minutes. No business
was transacted pending the report of
the committee on resolutions.
