Railway Common Council in
Lively Session Accuses
Charles H. Angleman.
r..AYOR NAMES SUCCESSOR
Finance Committee Discovered
Discrepancy in Accounts
Several Days Ago-Audit
Co. Action Awaited.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribunc.l

Railway, y. j., July S.-Charles H.
Angleman. treasurer Of the city OF
Railway, is short $4,000, according to
the findings rendered by the Railway
Common Council last night at one of
the liverest meetings even held by that
body. CONSERVATION reigned, and
many present who had known Angle
man socially and politically a dozen or
more years refused to believe the re-
port.
The meeting, a special one, was pre-
sided over by w. H. Williams, of the
Universal Audit Company, of New
York. which has been engaged for sew
cral weeks in examining the treasurer S
books The findings are:
THE cash account of the city as YER
flied TO June 20 calls for S04,4Il ~.
The cash on hand amounts TO S2S'-
1000. a difference Of over $4,000
The members of the councils finance
committee. Messrs. Farrell, Valentine
and Trembly, told Of having become
aware several days ago Of discrep-
ancy. and of how work was done by
the committee night and day to hnd
where the discrepancy lay. No Gle"
was found. Thereupon the members
Of the board decided TO lay the matter
before the Common Council
The surety bond Of Angleman is for
$4,000. leaving the city unprotected
for the balance of the loss. Angleman
is a brother Of Winfield S. Angleman,
of Plainfeld. He has lived in Railway
about fifteen years, holding many
lucrative city offices. He became
known as a leader and hustler in
whatever he undertook.
Previous to the meeting of the Com
mon Council a conference between
Angleman and President Williams of
the auditing company was held oehinn
closed doors. II is understood Angle
man denied a shortage existed. I'M
rnediately following this conference
Councilman Trembly asked Mayor
Fyne if he had any report to make.
Mayor Fyffe replied Yes" and gave
the following communication to city
Clerk c. H. Lambert:
Il deem il wise and necessary to APP
point a successor to Mr.. Angleman in
the position Of auditor and city treas
urer. NV best efforts will be directed
t. have a man in this position of trust
in whom the people Of Railway will
have confidence. l therefore appoint
George S. Kirchgasner to the office to
fill the unexpired term"
The action of the auditing company
in the matter is awaited with deepest
interest. 1t is thought it will be diff
cult for Angleman to raise the $4,000
for which amount the company is on
his bond.
Trenton, n. j., July S.-Vice-Chancel-
Ior Walker to-day ordered Winfield S.
Angleman, lawyer Of Plainfeld and
brother Of Charles H. Angleman, 10
