Penitentiary.

Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-Discovery has
been made, 1t is alleged, of a deficit
of $4,000 by board of auditors ap-

following a recent change of admins
tration and was conducted by a num-
ber of prominent bankers now serving

FINAL BREAK UP
OF SWEDISH STRIKE
Street Gar Employees Apply for
Old Positions.

Stockholm, Aug. 23.-The local
street railroad company has scored a
complete victory over those of its en-
ployes who joined the strikers the be-
ginning of this month. Now that the
strike is a failure the men have ap-
piled for their old positions, but only
a few of them have been taken back.
Those who formerly secured the max
imum wage have been re-employed al
the minimum rate and they have been
compelled to sign a personal contract
to furnish bonds guaranteeing their
future loyalty to the company. On
the other hand the strikebreakers
have been rewarded with the best pay
ing positions the company has. The
company has instituted suit against
the strikers for damages and breach
of contract. This victory is regarded
as heralding the final break up of the
general strike.

forest fire is sweeping over the coun-

Forks, in the Kootenay country,
famed by brisk breeze. The people
of Grand Forks at once turned out to
fight the flames, but the confiagration
is still spreading rapidly and assum-

wrought such awful havoc to the town
of Fernie about this time last year.
Reports from Roseberry state forest
fires also are raging in that neighbor-
hood. The confiagration licked up
small buildings of that place and the
whole town. with the exception of the
Canadian Pacific roundhouse. has been
wiped out. The steamer SLOGAN went
from Almo to Roseberry to assist In
saving the inhabitants of that place.
The town of Hatton is in serious dan

the Case.

ment criticising the treatment accord
ed to her son In the Matteawan state

stitution by order of Justice Mills.
Mrs. Thaw said not only that the CON-
forts accorded to her son when he was
first sent to the asylum were not re-
stored after his recent return, but
that he had been denied privileges he
enjoyed for eighteen months while in
the asylum. DR.. Lamb, the superin-
tendent of the hospital, Mrs. Thaw

giving my son the whites of eggs and
orange juice prescribed for him by
his own and my physicians and which
heretofore have given him each aft
ernoon when l made my visit.
Not Allowed to Play Plano.
"For the first time In these eighteen

ilege of playing the piano.
He is still locked up In the bare
cell which l described in court at s

son for the deprivations. He answered
that what they had done was not ap-
preciated much when we went to
court To this Harry replied: DIR.
Lamb, treated both you and DR.. Ba-
ker much better In court than you de-
served, as you know, when testifying.
So this must be revenge for what my
mother said DR.. Lamb made no de-
nial. We asked DR.. Lamb more than
once IL he had any further reason ex-
cept revenge toward me and the de-
sire to enfeeble my sons health SO se
would not be able to testify next time
as he had done when opposed to MIR.
