AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL
$40,000 THE AMOUNT FOR THE
LOUISIANA SUFFERERS.
The Senate Agree* to the Conference
Report on the Agricultural Bill—The
IMstrict of Columbia Appropriation
Bill Passes the Senate—The Legislative
Appropriation Bill on the Floor in the
House.
AVashington. May 29.—1n the Senate
to-day Mr. Allison reported from the Com
mittee on Appropriations the House joint
resolution appropriating SIOO,OOO for the
relief of the sufferers by the overflow of
the Mississippi river and its tributaries.
The Senate committee do not favor the
appropriation in the form presented nor
the amount mentioned. They recommend
the appropriation of the unexpended bal
ance of the appropriation made for the
Ohio river sufferers, which Mr. Allison
explained was about $40,000, and which
in the absence of specific information the
committee thought would meet the emer
gency. That amount would supply
about 400,000 rations. On a vote those
favoring the committee’sj'eeommendation
were 29, and those opposed 10. Mr. Jonas
then called for the veas and navs.
Air. Bark said this $40,000 would make al
together $17.5,000 given for this purpose, and
Louisiana had (lending in its Legislature a
bill giving $50,000 more. Tiie people of Louis
iana had apparently done nothing yet.
Mr. Jonas said there were 40,000 people in
a starving condition, with a prospect of five
or six weeks more in what was substantially
a sea of water. Many families were com
pelled to sit on the top of their cabins, wait
ing till the waters subside that they mav be
enabled to get down to help themselves.
Many of these starving people were colored
people, political friends and supporters of the
majority of tlie Committee on Appropriations
and the Senate. The amount proposed by the
committee would not be enough.
Mr. Beck said that other States affected had
promptly made liberal appropriations for
their sufferers. Louisiana had not done any
thing.
Mr. Call opposed tiie amendment and sup
ported tiie House resolution. The yeas and
nays resulted in 32 veas to 15 nays, so tiie Sen
ate amendment reducing the amount to about
S4O,O‘X) was agreed to.
The conference report on tiie agricultural
appropriation bill was agreed to. The House
had yielded to tiie wishes of tlie Senate relat
ing to tiie appropriation for the cultivation of
raw silk and experiments regarding the ex
traction of sugar from sorghum, while the
Senate had receded on the item relating to
artesian wells.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill was passed. Tiie Chair laid before the
Senate the Utah bill as the regular order.
Messrs. Voorhees and Williams endeavored
to get up the Mexican pension bill, but the
Senate went into executive session, and
when tiie doors were reopened, adjourned till
Monday next.
Yesterday’s report of the debate on the
Mexican pension bill erroneously re
presented Mr. Logan as opposed to
giving pensions to soldiers of the
Mexican war who afterwards fought in
the Confederate fiiny. AVliat Mr. Logan said
was that lie was opposed to restoring to the
pension roll those of the Mexican soldiers who
were on that roll prior to the late war and so
forfeited their pension by entering tiie Con
federate army. The bill, as it passed the
House of Representatives, gave them a pen
sion of $8 jier month. This provision Mr.
Logan supported. Tiie amendment proposed
by t!ft‘ Senate Committee would, in Mr.
Logan’s view, have the effect, in addition to
tiie $3 a month, of restoring them to tiie regu
lar pension roll, which would give them an
advantage over Mexican soldiers who had not
entered the Confederate army.
IN THK HOI'SK.
In the House to-day the Speaker announced
tiie appointment of Messrs. Slocum. Dibble
and Dingley. as conferees on the shipping
bill, and also tiie appointment of a select com
mittee to inquire whether or not any ex-mem
bers have abused the privileges of the floor.
Mr. Lewis, of Louisiana, from the Commit
tee on Public Lands, reported a bill to pro
hibit the confirmation, certification and pat
tenting of unearned land grants. It was
printed and recommitted.
On motion of Mr. Cox, of New A ork, it was
ordered that when the House adjourned to
day it be to meet on Saturday next. Tiie
House then went into committee of the whole
with Mr. Cox, of New York, in the chair, on
the legislative appropriation bill.
A number of amendments were offered, but
in nearly every case they were ruled out cn
points of order. A paragraph for the appoint -
ment of an additional force of special exam
iners in the Pension Office having been reach
ed, Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment, which, after a long debate, un
adopted, striking out the proviso that these
examiners shall be appointed by the Secretary
nf Hie Interior upon the recommendation of
the Commissioner of Pensions. This leaves
the appointments subject to the civil service
rules.
Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky, offered
an amendment providing that from
and after tiie 30th of June, 1884, there
shall be no more than forty-three internal
revenue collection districts.' It further au
thorizes the President to consolidate and re
organize the customs collection districts of
the United States on or before tlic Ist day of
October, 1884, so that the same shall not ex
caed in number sixty-seven. Tiie amendment
prescribes in detail the methods of carrying
into effect these consolidations.
Mr. McMillan,of Tennessee, briefly advoca
ted the amendment as being in the interest of
tho public welfare.
Mr. Kasson.of lowa made a strong speech
upon tiie folly of acting upon a proposition
which upset the whole system of the customs
service without proper consideration by Hie
Ways and Means Committee.
Mr. Randall said that the proposition had
been substantially recommended iiv the Sec
retary of tiie Treasury. The araemiment was
agreed to.
Mr. Thompson offered an amendment in
structing the Secretary of the Treasury toex
empt all distilleries which mash ten ’bushels
of grain or less per day from the operation of
provisions of title 35 of the revised statutes
except as to tlic payment of taxes, and au
thorizing these distilleries to run as fruit dis
tilleries, provided that the storekeepers and
gaugers who are assigred to distilleries with
a eapacity of twenty-live bushels or less shall
receive $2 per day'when actually employed.
This was agreed to.
Mr. Cabell, of A'irgiuia, offered an amend
ment reducing the number of internal reve
nue agents to five. This was agreed to.
On motion of Air. Bland, of Missouri, an
amendment was adopted prohibiting any gov
ernment clerk or employe from performing
any private service for any Senator, member,
head of a department or campaign commit
tee.
At 7:15 o’clock the committee rose and re
ported the bill to the House. The previous
question was ordered, and then without fur
ther action the House at 7:35 o’clock adjourn
ed until Saturday. *
CURRENCY CONTRACTION.
Comptroller Cannon Favors the Mc-
Pherson Rill as a Relief Measure.
Washington, May 29.—The Comp
troller of the Currency, upon being asked
to-day what he thought of the present
financial situation, said that ho believed
that it was improving. The banks in
New York and other money centres had
lost a large part of their country deposits,
hut he thought that as soon as confidence
should be restored money would flow
again into its usual channels as it did
after the panic of 1873.
“Some of the best and most conservative
people in New York,” lie continued,
“think that great progress has been made,
and that through the summer money will
be dull and rates low. From all that can
be learned from the bank examiners who
are watching the situation, country banks
seem to be in good condition.”
Upon being asked what legislation, il
any, would probably restore confidence,
Mr. Cannon said: “I think that the Mc-
Pherson bill is the simplest and most
available of the measures that are in
condition for immediate action. If
it should become a law it would
increase the circulation of the country
by more than $30,000,000, and would con
tribute greatly to the restoration of confi
dence. There are now lying in the vaults
of the Comptroller's office bills all ready
for issue to banks to replace worn anil
mutilated currency. These notes could
be made immediately available if the Mc-
Pherson bill should become a law, and
every national bank in the country would
receive circulation equal in amount to 10
per cent, of its bonds now on deposit.
This currency, under the previsions of
the McPherson bill, would be sent
to every city, town. village
and county where there is a national
bank, and thus not only increase the ag
gregate circulation, but everywhere re
store confidence. This would not Ire an
inflation measure, because the calling of
3 per cent, bonds and the consequent re
tirement of circulation would, to a cer
tain extent, offset the increase. Unless
the McPherson bill or some other measure
giving relief to our banks is passed by
Congress, and the McPherson hill seems
to be the only one that is likely to be
reached, there will be a contraction of
currency during the summer and early
fall, and it is possible that more financial
trouble may occur when it becomes nec
essary to move the crops.
A LOBBY ELATED.
Pacific Mail Men Pleased with a House
Conference Committee.
Washington, May 29.—'The Pacific
mail lobby were elated to-day by the an
nouncement that Messrs. Slocum, Dibble
and Dingley had been appointed by
Speaker Carlisle House conferees on the
Dingley shipping bill. Messrs. Slocum
and Dingley are known to be favorable to
subsidy, and Mr. Dibble is believed to
lean the same way. They are all mem
bers of the Shipping Committee, which is
almost unanimously in favor of subsidy.
Speaker Carlisle was hampered in his se
lection of these.conferees by the tradition
which requires conferees to be appoint
ed from the committee having jurisdic
tion over the matter in the House.
It is understood, however, that these
conferees would-not have been appointed
had it not been tor an understanding that
they understood the temper of the House,
and would do what they could to guard
the proposed bounty scheme from the sub
sidy sharks, if they fail, as they proba
bly will, in the attempt to make the Senate
agree to this the House committee will
probably lie depended upon to defeat the
subsidy clause. There is no hope for the
free ship clause, but nothing will be done
until after the Chicago Convention, be
cause Air. Dingley, of the House con
ferees, and Mr. Miller, of New York, of
the Senate conferees, go to Chicago to
morrow.
J AN I> FORFEITURES.
Recommendations in the House Land
Committee’s Report.
Washington, May 29.— The House
Committee on Public Lands, in its report
submitted to-day accompanying Mr.
Lewis’ joint resolution prohibiting the
Secretary of the interioi from patenting
lands granted to corporations while for
feiture of the grant is being considered,
save, “that it would be highly improper to
take any further steps towards the con
firmation of any land grants while bills
for their forfeiture are pending in either
branch of Congress, does not admit of
question, and no good reason can
be urged why the Secretarv of
the* Interior should not be armed
with an authoritative declaration
from Congress upon the subject. It will
not only relieve iiim from pressure from
■party interests, whose persistent demands
await only adjournment of this body to be.
renewed In full force, but it will protect
the rights of the people and doubtless
eventuate in driving these wealthy cor
porations into the courts of the country,
where these contests must ultimately be
determined.”
Representative Oates will prepare a
minority report on the joint resolution.
Captain Hopkins’ Restoration Opposed.
Washington, May 29.— The Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs this morning
agreed to report, adversely the bill pro
viding for the restoration of Captain Al
fred Hopkins to the navy. Captain Hop
kins was dismissed for leaving his post at
the Pensacola navy yard in 1882 in antici
pation, as was alleged, of a yellow fever
epidemic. The House passed a bill last
Saturday providing for the restoration of
Captain Hopkins to the navy.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 29.— The Na
tional Greenback Convention reassem
bled at 10 o’clock this morning, Neal
Weaver piesiding. The Committee on
Resolutions was not ready to report, and
the entire forenoon session was taken up
with brief addresses. The Platform Com
mittee sent word that they would not be
ready to report before 3 o’clock in the af
ternoon, and at 11:45 o’clock the conven
tion adjourned until 2 o’clock.
It is understood that the Committee on
Resolutions are at loggerheads over the
plan on the tariff, and a good deal of de
bate is expected in the convention. To
prevent much time being consumed,
speeches have been limited to five minutes.
The convention reassembled pursuant
to adjournment. The Committee on Reso
lutions not bring ready to report, the in
tervening time was occupied in making
speeches and passing votes of thanks to
various persons. Chairman AVeax’er.
finally announced that the Committee on
Resolutions was ready to report, when it
was ascertained that there would be
three reports. Minority reports, made by
Mr. Jones, of New York, and Mr. Blan
chard, of Michigan, were read first, the
report of Air. Blanchard meeting with en
thusiastic approval for the stand he took
in favor of temperance and woman
suffrage. Air. Jones’ report differed from
the majority report in demanding that
while Congress shall issue full legal ten
der notes they shall be used in the pay
ment of government debts, constructing
public improvements, to reduce transpor
tation charges, completing public build
ings, building a navy, and such other pur
poses as Congress is now asked to appro
priate money, until the surplus labor of
the country is employed, a profitable
home market for the products of Ameri
can farms and workshops created and
business done on a cash basis. Air. Jones
did not insist on his views, and there was
no split on the platform. The majority
report was read by Air. Morton, Chairman
of the committee. It contained a long
preamble setting forth the objects of the
Greenback party and what it has accom
plished.
The convention nominated B. F. Butler
for President and Air. AVest, ot Alississip

NEW YORK’S DEPOSITORIES.
Tiie Grand Jury Censures tiie City
Chamberlain and Makes Some Recom
mendation* .
New York, May 29.—The grand jury
of the Court of Oyer and Terminer made
a presentment to the court to-day. They
give it as their opinion that the business
responsibilites which the Chamberlain
lias assumed and the obligations and
speculations iuto which he has permitted
himself to be drawn are incompatible
with the trustworthy and satisfactory
discharge of the duties of his office, and
they recommend that the Mayor shall re
quest his immediate resignation, in re
gard to the business of the Chamberlan’s
Bureau the grand Jury recom
mend that the list of the depos
itory banks be immediately revised;
that the provisions of the law fixing the
limit of $2,(MX),000 as the largest amount
to be deposited in any one bank or trust
company be changed, and that the limit
of deposit be fixed at not to* exceed one
ltalf of the amount of the capital and net
surplus of such bank or trust company;
the repeal of the act providing that the
city’s deposits shall be placed only in in
stitutions which will pay per cent,
interest on the same, and the passage of a
law under which the rate oi interest to be
allowed on the city’s deposits shall be
fixed by the Mayor, Comptroller and
Chamberlain quarterly according tff the
market rate. The grand jury say that it
is their opinion that the small’ amount
received by the city for interest is not an
adequate compensation for the risk in
curred by.the city through the unwilling
ness of the stronger institutions in cer
tain conditions of the money market, to
pay this rate of 2'j percent.’, and through
the competition of weaker institutions for
the custody of the city’s money.
WINTER WEATHER IN JUNE.

A Mobile Firm Burned Out.
Mobile, May 29.—The wholesale gro
cery and liquor house of L. Brewer & Cos.
was burned at 10 o’clock to-night. The

building was valued at $25,000, and in
sured for $15,000 in local companies. It
was owned by Mrs. F. 8. Parker, of
Mobile.
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1884.
THEGOVERNMENTROBBED
DISBURSING CLERK BURNSIDE
EMBEZZLES $45,000.
The Culprit Arrested and Out Looking
for Bail—High Social Standing of the
Colonel—Laxity of Republican Methods
Partly Instrumental in Bringing About
the Result.
AVashington, May 29.—AVhen the em
ployes of the Post Office Department
went to the office of the disbursing officer
this morning to receive their month’s sal
ary they found the doors closed and pay
notices removed. It was soon learned
that the Post Office Inspectors were exam
ining the accounts of J. O. P. Burnside.
Superintendent of the Post Office Build
ing and Disbursing Clerk, and within a
few* hours it was announced that a short
age of $45,000 had been discovered. The
Postmaster General thereupon issued an
order removing Superintendent Burnside
from office. The following official explan
ation of the action was furnished:
By direction of the Postmaster General
a committee, consisting of A. G. Sharp,
Chief Post Office Inspector; G. AV. Weils,
Chief of the Division of Finance, and
James T. Smith, Chief the Book-keeping
Division of the Sixth Auditor’s office, ex
amined the accounts of Col. J. O. P. Burn
side, Superintendent and Disbursing Offi
cer for the Post Office Department. The
result of this examination show ed a short
age of about $45,000. His accounts have
not been fully audited bv the Treasury
Department since the 3oih of June, 1881,
and it is probable that misappropriation
has occurred from time to time since that
date.
ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.
The Postmaster General dismissed him
from office and caused biui to be arrested
and proceedings to be instituted for em
bezzlement. It has been stated that Mr.
Burnside was a frequent investor in the
oil syndicate conducted by Broker Levis,
who recently absconded, and that he lost
heavily in such ventures. His salary was
only $2,100 per annum, and he was said
to maintain an extensive private estab
lishment. This might have excited sus
picion but for his statement that his wife
was in receipt of a large private income.
The amount of his bond is SOO,OOO, and
his sureties are said to be respon
sible. A curious fact shown by
the records is that Mr. Burnside’s
immediate predecessors, Edwin Olmstead
and Frank AlcCortnev, were removed for
embezzlement.
THE BOND AND LAST ADJUSTMENT.
Col. Burnside’s bond to secure the gov
ernment is in the sum of $40,000 and bears
date of 1875. The sureties are N. L. Jeff
reys, H. Al. Hutchinson, E. C. Ingersoll
of Washington, B. Williams, John Cougli
lan and AVilliain Rutherford. Two of
these bondsmen, viz: Alessrs. Ingersoll,
a brother of Col. Ingersoll, and Air. Hutch
inson Are dead, but the government offi
cers have no doubt of the sufficiency of
the bond. It is said at the Treasury De
partment that the last adjustment of Col.
Burnside’s accounts by the First Auditor
was for the quarter ended December 31,
1883. The balance unaccounted for at
that time was $20,000.
This sum Col. Burnside reported as on
hand, but no examination seems to have
been made for.the purpose of verifying his
statement. His account for the quarter
ending Alarch 1, 1884, which should have
been sent to the First Auditor by the
middle of April, has not been received.
Yesterday the Auditor sent a clerk to the
Post Office Department to hasten their
transmission. He was informed thattbey
were all ready to be-audited, that tire let
ter of transmissal had been written, and
that they wou.d be submitted at once, but
they have not reached the Treasury De
partment.
The First Comptroller says that the
warrant for $60,000, issued to Col. Burn
side on Alay 6 tor the salaries ot the cur
rent month, shows that his accounts were
regarded as correct up to that time. The
amount placed to his credit was largely
in excess of liis bond, but only that part
of it which was needed to make the semi
monthlv payment at onoo available.
DRAWING OUT THE MONEY.
On the J4th of Alav Col. Burnside drew
out by check about $25,000 of this amount
and disbursed it to the employes. On tiie
28th inst. he drew a check for $33,362,
which was intended for disbursement to
day. This sum was found in the safe.
At the request of the Postmaster General,
the Secretary of the Treasury this after
noon authorized the United States Treas
ury to pay the salaries of the Post Office
Department employes for the last hall of
the month, jiending further action in Col.
Burnside's case.
The accounts of the disbursing officer
are audited at the Treasury Department,
and it is said by post office officials that
any irregularity that exists should have
been discovered in that department. It
would appear, however, that under the
present system of bookkeeping the de
ficiency may have existed for a long time
without discovery. Col. Burnside’s
books were not falsified, and tiie shortage
would have been evident if the entries
had been compared with the cash on
hand. Col. Burnside told the experts,
who were directed by Postmaster General
Gresham to examine his accounts, that
there were credits due him which would
considerably reduce the deficiency. He
said to the Postmaster General that he
had lost about $5,000 in his oil ventures,
but Gen. Gresham believes that he was
also invoved in AVall street speculations.
IIIS POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT.
The statute under which Col. Burnside’s
alleged offense comes is section 64880f the
Revised Statutes, which provides that any
disbursing officer of the United States
who converts public funds to his own use,
loaning them out with or without interest,
or disposes of them in any manner not
authorized by law, shall be punished by
imprisonment, with hard labor,
for not less than one or more
ten years, or by a fine of not
more than the amount' embezzled or less
than SIOO, or both imprisonment and tine.
Col. Burnside’s appointment paper show’s
that his application was indorsed by Sen
ators Logan, Burnside, Cullom, Nice,Mor
ton, Yates, Williams, Edmunds and
others. He is a native of Indiana, and
enlisted in 1861 as a private in the Fif
teenth Illinois Infantry, rising rapidly in
rank until he attained the grade of Lieu
tenant Colonel. After serving through
the late war he settled in Baltimore as a
claim agent, but soon came to AVashing
ton. where he obtained a position as a
clerk in the Treasury Department. In
1869 he was appointed a third-class clerk in
the Post Office Department, and in 1875
was made Disbursing Clerk, in which ca
pacity he disbursed about $750,000 per
annum.
A PROMINENT SOCIAL POSITION.
Col, Burnside has occupied a prominent
social position in AA’ashington. He was
one of the founders of the Columbia Rifle
Club, and was accounted one oi the best
rifle shots in the American International
Team. AVhen the National Rifles were
reorganized, about four years ago, he
was elected commanding officer, and, as a
special compliment to him, lhe company
intended to visit his old home.Freeport.lll.,
during their trip to the AVest next month.
He had, it is said, greater social influence
than any other officer of the Post Office
Department.
This afternoon Col. Burnside was
brought into th Police Court for ex
amination. After a short consultation
between his counsel. Jere Wilson and the
District Attorney, the latter stated tliat
the defendant would waive examination
and give bail for his appearance before
the Criminal Court, and that the govern
ment would ask that the bail be fixed at
$45,000, the amount of the detatcation.
Air. AVilson contended that the bail de
manded was excessive, but after some
argument the court decided to require the
amount named by the District Attorney,
and said that the counsel coulcl petition
the Criminal Court for an abatemeut.
In reply to an inquiry, Col. Burnside
said to a reporter tfiat he did not wish to
make any statement for publication at
present. He then left the court room in
custody of a deputy marshal and went
in search of bondsmen.
Col. Burnside was unable to furnish the
requisite bail to-night, but expects to be
able to get it to-morrow. To-night he is
at his borne in custody of a Deputy
United States Alarslial, aiid has arranged
with Judge Snell to meet the latter at his
court with bondsmen at 9 o’clock to
morrow morning.

London, May 29.—The Pall Mall Ga
zette declares that “Earl Granville’s re
quest to Turkey to send 15,000 men to
Soudan is more serious for the Cabinet
than the scheme of multiple control. The
Ministers knew what Earl Granville was
doing when he proposed to surrender to
France, but they were aghast when thev
heard the proposal of Turkey to send
troops. Turkey on Tuesday signified her
acceptance of this proposition. It is not
clear how the Cabiuet can repudiate Tur

ing upon Earl Granville’s resignation.”

agreed upon between M. AVaddir.gton and
Earl Granville will have to be accepted

tial. The business of the firm of Grant ,t
Ward, he was told, could not be disclosed
to other members of the firm for pruden
tial reasons. Air. AVard said that the
publicity or the discussion ot these con
tracts might injure Gen. Grant and affect
his prospects for the nomination lor Pres
ident in the future. The profits derived
from tiie supposed contracts had averaged
from 8 to 10 per cent, a month for the past
year and a half. lie had never insisted
upon knowing by whose right the con
tracts were made.
A LITTLE THING IN DISCOUNTS.
He had been in the habit of discounting
the notes of Grant & Ward at 0 per cent,
and then having them rediseounted at a
much less rate. On the ipass book ap
peared records of loans to various per
sons, most of them employes of the firm
of Grant & Ward, -in sums of from
$25,000 to $50,000. Air. Fish said that he
did not lend to these persons personally
but on Air. Ward’s responsibility, and the
sums so loaned were credited to
the firm of Grant & Ward.
He supposed that good collateral was
given for the loans. The loans were made
in this way, Air. Fish said, because they
looked better, lie simply took Air. Ward’s
statement about Alailory and others to
whom loans were ostensibly made. He
said that be had never informed either
Gen. Grant or U. S. Grant, Jr., that he
was discounting their notes at 8 per cent.
An entry of November 15, 1883, ffhowed a
loan for 40 days at 30 per cent, discount.
This, Air. Fish said, meant 30 per cent, a
year, lie had sold the notes of Grant A
Ward at that rate to several persons,
among others Arthur B. Groves, a dealer
in cotton, and President of the St. Nicholas
Bank.
IT COULD BE AFFORDED.
At the rate at which they were doing
business, Mr. Fish said, they could afford
to discount at 30 per cent. He usually
discounted the notes at 8 per cent., anil
got other banks to discount them at 6 per
cent. lie might, however, he said, have
taken some of the notes at 30 per cent, and
then had them rediscounted at 8 per
cent. In regard to the protits from the
business, Mr. Fish said that in 1882 he
drew from the firm of Grant & Ward as
his share about SIOO,OOO. In 1883 he
received $300,000, and in 1884 about $70,000.
He was assumed to receive one-quarter
of the profits in the monthly statements
furnished. He had no regular account
whicli would show his receipts from the
firm in 1883 and 1884. The old contract
book which Mr. Ward had been shown,
and in regard to which he testified, was
then shown to Mr. Fish, who recognized
it. saying that most of the entries were
made by himself or Mr. Ward. He could
not remember whether he had ever in
quired as to the prices of corn and grain
or not, but he thought he never had, be
cause they were mostly future deliveries.
TRANSPORTATION NOT CONSIDERED.
He had never troubled himself as to how
Grant Sr Ward were to transport to the
West corn, oats or provisions that the
contracts called for. He thought that
Mr. Ward paid freight. Mr. Fish said
that the bank surplus he used to take up
old standing claims for the benefit of the
Marine Hank. Indian contracts were
large, and the profits were proportionately
large. He understood, be said, that the
government had ordered provisions and
was willing to pay a higher price for
them. Abundleof checks drawn by Grant
* Ward, and indorsed by James P. Fish,
from January 15, 1883, 'to March G, 18S4,
amounting to $490,973, was placed in evi
dence. Mr. Fish gave his testimony in a
low tone of voice and appeared to be self
possessed. He exhibited some cont'usio..,
however, when questioned in regard to
the profits derived from the contracts.

The Disclosures in the Penn Dank Case
Growing Worse anil Worse.
Pittsburg, May 29.—Henry Warner,
assignee of the Penu Bank, has taken
charge and discharged all the clerks. He
will begin work at once, but says that it
will require two weeks, and possibly
thirty days, before an exact statement of
the condition of affairs can be made. The
deficiency, it is believed, will reach fully
$1,250,000. It is said that of $40,000 which
were known to be on the counter when
the bank closed, only $4,000 were turned
over to the assignee*. Great shortage in
the securities is also reported since Satur
day, and bonds, stocks and other collater
als in the bank at the time of the suspension
are said to be missing. President Riddle
is still confined at home. He has issued a
card asking his friends to withhold judg
ment until he is able to make his state
ment.
William Riddle has confessed another
judgment for $82,400 in favor of F. B.
Laugblin. This judgment will follow the
one confessed on Tuesday night.
BRURON'S KNAVERY.
The Key to a Cipher Puts His Female
Companion in a Rail Light.
St. Louis, May 29.—Bank President
Bruron and Mrs. Steele are still in cus
tody, and will remain here until an officer
comes from Hot Springs for them. While
at police headquarters they were search
ed and less than SI,OOO were found upou
their persons. It is said that President
Bruron shipped a trunk' from
Hot Springs before leaving there
to some place in Illinois, and it is sus
pected that it contains a large amount of
money taken from the bank. Officers are
trying to trace it.
President Bruron says that Mrs. Steel
is his step-sister, and is in no way con
cerned in liisbank affairs, but the key to
a cipher which was found on him clearly
shows that it was designed to be used
by them in case they were separated. It
indicates that their departure together
from Hot Springs were prearranged.
Eno’a Flight.
New York, May 29s—John C. Eno has

has been made to execute the warrant for
his arrest, and that he is now in Canada or
on an ocean steamer sailing from some
Canadian port to England.

The Husband of a Small Army of
• Wives 1* Sent to the Penitentiary.
• The United States District Court to-day,
says a Philadelphia special of the 26th
inst. to the New Y'ork World, disposed of
one of the oldest and most accomplished
rogues in thecountry, Peter Tatro, who
was tried and convicted under the name
of John A. Aloore, and sent to the Eastern
Penitentiary for two years and fined S3OO
for having personated a pension agent
and altered a certificate for a pension in
Lycoming county. Tatro is a man of af
fable manners, about fifty years of age.and
in ten years has been married five times.
In 1873, after a brief courtship, he
became the husband of Elia Webb,
of Brockport, X. Y., under the name of
Stone. Before the honeymoon was over
he left his wife, and four weeks later mar
ried a widow named Parsons at Condor,
N. Y. He was there known as Sheldon
Burleigh. Six months later South Bend.
Ind., welcomed Tatro under the name of
H. C. Pomeroy. He said he was a United
States Provost Marshal, an office obsolete
since the war, and his pleasant manners
and assumed knowledge on almost every
subject made him a general favorite. He
talked eloquently about the great debt of
gratitude due the country's brave defend
ers, and volunteered to undertake to
prosecute a number or doubtful pension
claims.
While engaged in this pursuit he fell in
with a Ali.ss Aiason and married her. He
appeared to have a liking for the Hoosier
State, however, and instead of taking a
trip lurtber West when he became tired
of the third wife he simply removed to
Wabash and became J. W. Jenks, the
wealthy owner of a California gold mine,
and married a Aliss McStewart, who
owned a small farm. She was induced bv
Tatro to sell her farm for SI,BOO in cash
and leave her comfortable home to become
the mistress of a palatial mansion on tiie
Pacific coast. When the couple reached
Ghicatro on their way to California Tatro
disappeared with the monev. Then
he went to Cut-aberland, Aid., and
began a career as a bogus Spec
ial Examiner of Pensions, un
der the name of Webb. There he laid
siege to the heart of Airs. J. P. Anderson,
a widow, with one son, who surrendered
after a brief siege and became Afrs. Webb.
Tatro employed her boy at a
salary of $2 50 a day, but never
paid the salary. The man of
many wives was traced to Cumberland by
Chief Examiner E. G. ltathbone, of the
Pension Office, and fled to Marietta, Pa.,
where he was arrested and brought to
Philadelphia for trial. Alore than twenty
witnesses from different States testified
against hint to-day. Hundreds of persons
were found who eagerly paid money to
the adroit swindler to secure a pension
from the government.
WONDERFUL TELEGRAPHY.
The Aletliods of Communication Adopted
by an Expert Detective.
J. T. Norris, of Springfield, 0., the de
tective who has brought, some noted
criminals to justice, says the St. Louis
Republican, of the 26th inst., was at the
Southern last night. Norris is a jovial
fellow with a game leg, and not at all
like one’s preconceived notions of a “fly
cop.” He does a trick that probably no
other man in the country can imitate, ne
takes a silver coin, usually a dollar, and
places it on his tongue between his teeth.
With his tongue he strikes it against the
teeth with the sound of a telegraphing in
strument, the opening and closing of the
circuit being exactly imitated. Norris
used to be an operator, and by means of
the coin can telegraph words so distinctly
that any telegrapher can easily
read the messagp. In this
manner he telegrajHied fifty words a min
ute. A reporter wrote out a message on
a Western Union blank and handed it to
the detective. The two operators in
charge at the Southern took down the
words as fast as Norris produced them
with the coin. The message was rapidly
sounded and written down, and all three
copies coincided exactly. Air. Norris can
stand up before a telephone, and in this
novel manner telegraph a message which
any telegrapher can read with great fa
cility. But the most wonderful thing is
to see him telegraph with his eyelids. The
dots and dashes of the telegraphic alpha
berhe indicates by more or less rapid
opening and shutting of the eyelids, lu
this manner he can converse with an ex
jiert without uttering a sound.
Norris, it will he remembered, is tiie
mani who bagged Lew Hauek, the three
card-monte lakir who killed a man near
Delaware station, Ohio, five years ago.

TO THE RESCUE OF JERSEY.
W. If. Vanderbilt’s Agent Brings a
Million and a Quarter Dollars to
Philadelphia.
The Reading Railroad Company’s hold
ing of Jersey Central Railroad stock,
amounting to 50,000 shares, says the Phila
delphia Record, have been placed absolute
ly beyond the reach of the bears. This
was the object of the visit of Harrison
McK. Twomldy, the son-in-law of William
H. Vanderbilt, to this city, on Friday.
The shares had been used'as collaterals
and were margined down to SSO, and then
down to S4O. The at tack of the bears was
so persistent, however, that after the
price got below SSO it seemed probable
that there might be a still further drop,
and Mr. Twombly came to Philadelphia
with $1,250,000, with which he took up ’
31,000 shares of stock held by one of the
prominent banking houses in this city.
The balance of the 50,000 shares is being
carried "by several of the wealthier gen
tlemen connected with and interested in
Reading affairs, who are amply able to
protect it against the most severe raids
that may be made. Two or three capital
ists and one or two banking houses who
were bearing the brunt of the attacks on
Jersey were very thankful to have Mr.
Twombly come to its rescue.
A CURIOUS LIBEL SUIT.
An Interesting Witch Story.
A curious action for libel will shortly
be heard in the Hanover law courts. It
appears that a young larmer met a very
attractive girl at a ball, danced with her
several times, and lelt late at night to re
turn home by train. He duly arrived at
his destination, but, some little time after
leaving the railway station, saw, to his
surprise, his partner of the evening seated
on a chair in the middle of the road, with
the moonlight shining on her face. She
beckoned to him, and He approached her,
gasping out: “Why, I thought I
left you dancing. How on earth did
you manage to get here?” “Ha,” said
the girl with a mocking laugh, “I am a
witch.” The youth took to his heels, but
the assumed the form of a dog, and
followed him to his father’s house, where
be arrived more dead than alive, and told
the story to his astonished relatives. As
a natural consequence, the storv soon got
about, and the young lady found herselt
shunned by all her former acquaintances.
On hearing the reason of this coolness,
she at once instituted an action for
defamation or character.

Wanted to Kilt a Duke.

eigner were such as to arouse suspicion.
He was placed under arrest by the police,
and a revolver was found in" his posses

seeking an opportunity to fire upon the
Duke.

Washington, May 28.—'The Blaine
men figure out, as the result of much in
genious ciphering, that Blaine will have
439 votes on the first ballot, or more than
Is necessary to a choice. They make it
thus: Maine 12, New York 30, Pennsyl
vania 46, Connecticut 4, Massachusetts
6, Rhode Island 2, New Jersey 10. Mary
land *l4, Delaware 6, West Virginia 12,
Ohio 30, Michigan 18, Indiana 10, Illinois

Kansas 14, Missouri 10,California 16, Col

Texas 23, Kentucky 6, Tennessee 4.
South Carolina 4, North Carolina
j 4, Ixniisiana 14, Florida 1; total
391. To this they add the 24 votes of the
Dezendorf delegation from Virginia,
which they propose to have admitted, 14
votes from Pennsylvania, 8 from Michi
gan, and 2 from lvansas, if those States
vote as they expect—as a unit. The Ar
thur men laugh at this. They say that at
the same rate they could easily figure out
500 votes on the first ballot.
The Blaine bubble was blown to its
greatest proportions to-day. The old es
timates were fished up aucl a majority of
23 figured out for the man from Maine.
The claims of gains in the South were
made as sweeping as possible. John S.
Wise was made to announce that there
would be no division of the seats among
the Virginia delegations at Chicago—
either the straightouts or the Readjusters
must all b? admitted. The former are for
Blaine all the time, and the latter largely
for Blaine on the second ballot. This is a
sampleof the Blaine spouting today.
MASTERLY INACTIVITY,
At a time when Blaine is straining
every nerve and using every means to get
the nomination it is gravely announced
by the Blaine literary bureau that he still
remains silent and inert under all the
appeals of his friends, and that he refuses
to make any personal effort to secure the
nomination. A member of Congress is
trotted out who asked Mr. Blaine to do
something to win Southern delegates.
Blaine would not commit himself.
He did not want the nomi
nation unless It came to him
spontaneously, and in a wav to insure his
election. 11c remarked that he thought it
unworthy of a man having the interest of
his party at heart to seek to secure the
nomination through the "‘boasted strength
of those who could have no voice in the
election.” To the suggestion that it
would he unworthy ol him to allow this
by indifference to be done, he listened but
said nothing, “yet, his friends say,” is
added, “that when the proper time comes
lie will not be inactive.”
It is hinted, continues the story, that it
would be Vbry proper to make it’ a stand
off in the South and leave the contest to
be decided by the solid States. Soul hern
politicians, it is added, have been writing
Blaine numerous letters proffering advice
and support. But so far as is known
they have received no response. This is
finally supplemented by a statement that
Blaine, Logan and Sherman have com
bined to control ihe organization
of the convention. This is as w r ild as
the other statements.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Evans and Register of the Treas
ury Bruce left for Chicago to
day. Secretary Chandler is expected to
go to-morrow, although the President
does not want him to go. They will re
ceive hospitably the Southern Arthur
delegates, who are being sent to Chicago
at Blaine’s expense.

Sherman’s Reminder.
AVashington. May 29.— Senator John
Sherman has written letters to all the
Southern delegates who were.. Sherman
delegates in 1880, reminding them of their
pleasant relations at that time, disclaim
ing any desire to make them break their
pledges, but suggesting that In the event
that they abandon their first choice they
ought to remember their most obliged and
obedient servant, John Sherman.
Minnesota’s Democratic Delegates.
St. Paul, Minn., May 29.—The Demo
cratic State Convention, which assembled
here to-day, elected as delegates at large
to Chicago P. F. Kelley, Michael Doran
C. F. McDonald and R. A. Jones. It then
dissolved itself into district conventions
to select district delegates.
The platform declares that the large
surplus in the Treasury is an ever exist
ing incentive to wasteful extravance and
official corruption, and that it should be
reduced, not by reckless appropriations,
hut by the reduction of taxes which create
it, that this reduction of taxes should be
made upon the necessaries of life, and
not upon its luxuries. That the present
tariff is a masterpiece of injustice, ine
quality and false pretense. It demands
that all the custom house taxation shall
be only for revenue.
Though the question of instruction of
the delegates was not mentioned, yet
every delegate that expressed himself on
the subject v.’as in favor of Tilden, whose
name at all times was greeted with ap
plause.
