JOHN BARDSLEY DEAD
FoRMERsTREAsURER OF pHILADEI-
RHIA PASSES AWAY.
He Was COHviAted of Embexzlement
Il 81
sHd Served Term in
Prison.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 5.-John
Bardsley. former city treasurer Of Phila-
delphia, is dead at his home here after an
heart disease but grew better and was
thought to be out OF danger. A sudden re-
lapse came yesterday, resulting in his death
late last night.
Mr.. Bardsley was born in England
September 5. 1886. and came to this country
with his parents in 1S47. The family set
tied in this city. Mr.. Bardsley engaged in
the manufacture Of linen
For many years he was one Of the most
prominent and picturesque figures in mu-
mc1pal public affairs. He was chairman of
the finance committee Of councils for sew
eral terms, and earned the title of Honest
John Bardsley, and the watch dog of the
city treasury"
He was indicted into the office of city
treasurer in 1889. In the fall of 1880 the
Barring failure in London caused run on
the Keystone National Bank here, in which
Bardsley had on deposit both the funds OF
the city and the state. The bank failed in
1891. The Spring Garden Bank, another OF
Bardsley's repositories, failed soon after.
Bardsley was later arrested and pleaded
guilty to the charge Of misappropriatlng
the funds of the city and state. The
amounts involved were $4,000 Of the city
money and $500. 900 Of state funds. In 1891
he was sentenced to fifteen years imprison-
ment in the eastern penitentiary, and to
pay fine of $237 $50.
There has long been a fee.,ng that Bards-
ley was more of a scayegsat than de-
liberate embeZzler, and strong efforts were
made toward securing his pardon. These
were successful in 1896.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
The Gold in the Treasury Amounts to
$3.50, 7O9, OOS.

THE gross gold in the treasury today"
urer, to a Star reporter. ''is $3.50. 709. COS,
breaking all records and surprising in
amount any sum predicted by nearly all
financiers. AT the end of March, 1889. the
treasury held s32s, 293, 9O1. This was the
largest sum under any administration in re-
cent years until the yellow metal began
to accumulate in the last two or three
years. Our immense gold holdings are due,
of course to the great prosperity of the
country, to the increased production Of gold
in all directions, and in large part to the
fact that the United States is now the
creditor nation of the world"
Mr.. Roberts said that for the immediate
present there would continue to be an in
crease in the treasury holdings of gold.
1t might be reduced should the reduction
of the war revenue taxes be so heavy to
run the receipts close to the expenditures
each month. 1t is expected that later on
the treasury may find it necessary to put
more money in circulation. Should this be
required the belief now is that the cash on
hand will be used in buying bonds for the
sinking fund. No such action is now con-
templated, and Secretary Gage has no idea
chase of bonds Is looked upon with great
favor and as the one most calculated to
save money for the country. Should this be
done, and business conditions continue
healthy, the gold would speedily come back
to the treasury If the revenue reduction act
does not cut too heavily into the monthly
receiptS.

MISSOURI RIVER TRAFFIC.
Discussed in the Report on the River
and HarbOP Bill.

The text of the report on the river and
harbor bin, which appeared today, makes
severe arraignment of the large expend1-
lures, aggregating $10,90S560 on the Mis-
souri, river, with an array of figures show
Ing that the traffic is Insignificant COM
pared with that of other waterways which
have received far less from the government.
AS a result, the repeal of the act creating
the Missouri river commission is recon-
mended. The report says: "The quantity
of traffic upon the river is very small. The
freight carried below Sioux City in 1899
amounted to only 2G5, ia tons and above
Sioux City, in the 1000 miles to Fort Ben
ton, 23,041 tons. The quantity of freight
carried will appear to be even smaller when
it is taken into account that the major
share of the tonnage on the lower Missouri.
or 216,41S tons, is made up OF sand and
building materials carried an average dis
lance of less than two miles, leaving bal
ance of as, 661 tons of other kinds of freight
carried.
TT is impossible to believe that for this
small amount Of tonnage an elaborate and
expensive establishment Is required or the
appropriation of large amounts
The report shows that Raccoon creek in
New Jersey and Bayou Teche in Louisiana
have approximately as much tonnage as the
Missouri river, although the creek has re-
ceived $1,000 from the government and the
bayou SS1, 900, as against $1U9O3, $50 to the
Missouri river. The report adds:
Another point which has become mani
fest to the committee is the diversion Of
the larger share of the amounts appro-
prated for this stream to the protection
Of private property. The amounts so ap-
piled have come to largely exceed those
used for dredging or for improvements to
navigation. 1t is impossible for the COM
mittee to correctly judge whether these ap-
propriations for the protection of banks
and private property are judiciously expend-
ed. While not assuming to decide whether
oh oYnen6itlrnS nrODer subjects FOR
appropriation by the federal government,
the members of the committee are clearly
of the opinion that such expenditures do
not properly belong to committee whose
province Is to recommend appropriations
for the improvement Of rivers and har-
boris"

UNREASONABLE CHARGES.
Complaint Sustained by the Interstate
Commerce Commis SfOn.

. The interstate, commerce commission To-
day, in an opinion by Commissioner Yeo-
mans announced its decision in the case Of
Warren Ehret. Company against the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company and others in favor. of the com
plainant. 7Thsl case involves the legality
of a rate of roofing Stag from Leesport, Pa,
to Harlem river station, In New York.
The rate of this Stag in car loads is So. 40
per ton. of which the carriers to Communi-
paw, N. j., OPP the Hudson river. receive
S1.3O per ton, the balance, amounting to
50 10 per ton, going to the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railway Company for
its services in carrying the Stag by its car
floats from Communipaw around New York
city to It's Harlem river station. The
freight could be transferred by an indie
pendent Hghterage company from Commu-
nipaw to Harlem for so cents per ton, and
railroads terminating at the New Jersey
shore generally allow GO cents per ton for
erage limits.
rate of 81. 40 to Harlem river is grossly I'M
reasonable, and Is rendered so by the ex-
cessive share of 10 to the New Haven
road for transfer by its car floats from
Ccmmunipaw to Harlem river; thar reason
able compensation for such delivery by car
floats should not exceed 81 per ton, and
this. added to the share of S1.30 received
by the connecting carriers, constitutes a
reasonable and lawful rate of 50. 80 per ton,
which the carriers are recommended to put

HISTORIC MANSION BURNS,
cunningham Castle" on the Hudson
Totally Destroyed.

NEW YORK, January 5.-The old man
sion known as the Cunningham Castle,
which was built at Irvington-o on the Hud-
son, thirty-fye years ago by James Cum
bingham. was destroyed by fire early this
morning. The building, which was a mas
sive structure, it is said originally cost
half a million dollars. Mr. Cunningham oc-
cupied the house for many years and as
he was rather eccentric he said that no one
but himself would be permitted to live
there during his lifetime.
short time ago the old castle was pur-
chased by John s. Huyler, and it was his
intention to renovate it and put it in shape
for occupancy. Mr.. Huyler, in company
with an architect visited the old house
yesterday for the purpose of deciding what
alterations should be made. AS the weather
was intensely cold fire was started In an
open crate to take the chill off the room,
and 1t Is said the fire was still burning in
the crate when Mr.. Huyler and the archi-
tect went away. Live Goals from the CRATE
may have set fire to the building.
