Alleged Graft In Graveyard Deal.

County Auditor Sturm last week
submitted to the finance committee of
the supervisors of Erie county at Buff
falo report, which was approved and
later adopted by the full board, which
states that the county was robbed of
almost $4,000 in a real estate deal
back in 1901.
In that year the city secured an ap-
preparation to build an armory for the
Sixty-Fifth regiment and to secure a
site bought cemetery in the heart
of the city on North street, in which
no burials had been allowed for years.
Roland Conover, treasurer of another
cemetery, secured a contract to re-
move the bodies and rebury them.
A warrant, the stub of which was
marked SIS, had been cashed at $500.
Other warrants whose stubs are mark
ed "void" and sample" have been
cashed. Republicans and Democrats
alike are implicated in the deal, for
the controlling ring in the board of
supervisors that year was non-partis-
an. Few of them are on the board
now and some are dead.
1t develops that on March 4, 1902,
Justice Hooker granted an order for
payment to Conover of $11,456 upon
his stipulation that he would not prose-
cute any further claim under his con
tract, yet on March 13 the next year
he got $4,000 more. The district at
torney has the papers.

wonder that even so experienced a
navigator as Captain Gregory lost his
reckoning, especially as at the point
where the Hilda struck only few
yards deviation from the regular
course meant destruction. Torpedo
boats despatched to the scene of the
wreck ascertained that there is no
hope of salvaging the vessel.
James Gunter, the rescued seaman,
says that in response to the captains

useless to attempt to launch the
boats, all the women and children were
mustered in the main hatch and the
stewardesses fixed life belts arounl
each of them, the French onion sellers
assisting in the work Everybody

Gunter says there were about 20 per-
sons on the rigging when the vessel
foundered. He describes pathetically
how the men gradually dropped off
exhausted by the terrible cold, and
says the roar of the elements was aw-
