Mutual,s Butcher Bills.

Before many days indictments will be
returned against former high officials of
the Mutual Life Insurance company. The
special grand jury has gone into every
phase of the companys management,
even to Its butcher bills. 1t has found
that during the McCurdy regime In the
Mutual the meat bills of the households
of several of the prominent officers and
trustees were paid with the money of
the policyholders. The supply department
when Andy Fields was at its head, was
used to put through this form of petty
larceny.
All of the supplies used by the Mutual
LIES restaurant which has been main
tanned for years to furnish a daily lun-
eheon for the 400 employees and officers
of the company. were purchased through
Fields.
The butcher who supplied the meat for
the restaurant was a man named Nc
Dermott, who was also the private butch
er of the MeCurdy family. He saw to 1t
that the best the market afforded was
daily sent to the palatial McCurdy resi-
dence at Morrstown, N. j.
The meat bills of McDermott which the
Mutual Life paid averaged about s25 900
a year. In 1904, which was the last COM
plete year Fields had charge of the sup
ply department, the total expense of run
ming the restaurant including McDer-
motifs meat bills. was $4,000 In that
year the average number of employees and
officers at the daily luncheon was 35O
Since Fields was deposed it has cost
only $4,000 a year to run the restau-
rant or $4,000 year less than formerly.

How He Blocked the B. & o.

Mr.. cassatt began as civil engineer
and worked up to general manager and
then president of the Pennsylvania 1t
was while he was general manager that
he defeated the Baltimore and Ohio in
a war for a railroad. One day Robert
Garrett, then president of the Baltimore
and Ohio, walked into the office of
President George B. Roberts of the Penn
sylvania and said: Mr.. Roberts, we have
secured control of the Philadelphia. Will
mington and Baltimore railroad We are
not disposed, however to disturb your
relations with the property. and you need
not give yourself any uneasiness on that
score"
This road, owned by New England cap
italists, extended from Philadelphia to
Baltimore. and had been operated in the
interests OF the Pennsylvania. The Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, always ON the
lookout for an open path to New York
coveted the small but important stretch
of track and resented the Pennsylvania
control of It,
As soon as the exultant Baltimore and
Ohio man had gone there was a confer
ence between President Roberts and Mr..
Cassatt.
Garrett says they've got the P. w. &
B., said Mr.. Roberts.
"Oh, no, they haven't" replied the gen
eral manager.
That night there was netting of Penn
sylvania Railroad directors in New York
Mr.. Cassatt was the presiding genius. He
told them where he could lay his hands
on block of p w. & B. stock that would
put the control forever in the hands of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Before the
directors rose from their chairs check
was drawn for S14949, O52. 20. 1t hangs in
frame now the walls of the treasury
of the Pennsylvania railroad. cancelled
to show that the money was there waiting
when It was presented. At the time 1t was
written 1t was the largest check ever re-
corded. The CARROTS were completely
routed.

MONKEY SHINES.
In Courtroom by Simian Causes
Stampede Among Officials.

From the New York Times.
A monkey whose actions have caused
suits for damages amounting to $27, 900 to
be instituted against his owner caused a
panic in the Butler street court, Brooklyn
yesterday, driving Magistrate Manner
from the bench and scattering spectators
right and left. Quiet was restored only
when court officer decoyed the animal
into cell.
1t was only a little monkey, but the
reputation 1t has acquired in the neigh
borhood where Isaac Amdursky, who owns
the beast, runs liquor store, preceded II
to the courtroom, and when its leash
broke there was a general scampering.
Amdursky, who lives at $40 Third ave-
nue., Brooklyn, was committed to the
ings County hospital for examination as
to hisg sanity, on the application of his
relatives 1t is believed that he has lost
his reason because of losses in the stock
market,
Amdursky entered the court with the
monkey on his shoulder, and. perching
the animal on the rail in front of the
magistrates bench, he proceeded to feed
nuts and other dainties to it. When the
magistrate decided that Amdursky's sanity
should be inquired into one of the officers

and opportunities and the class o. mmi-

A Water Steal.

The city has caught private water
company in the act of stealing its water
by the wholesale. 1t was done by tapping
one of the city's mains.
Just how long the tap was made could
not be ascertained as there Is no record
in tho water supply department of any
permit to lay the outlaw main. but judg-
ing by the condition of the pipe and the
fact that no one could be found in the
neighborhood who remembered when It
was put down the private company is
believed to have been taking water from
the city at the rate of 10000 gallons
day at least for a great many years. The
company sells to the city about 4S00.O 900
gallons a day at a rate Of s65 a million
gallons, and 1t is estimated that the mu-
nicipality has been buying back a good
share of it's own water.

he pays his fare. The courts have ruled
that passenger can get a transfer

has appealed and there Is a long fight
