An Cveriseue of the Bank's Stock Brought to Light—Suits to be Brought Against Other Officers Than the Kea nedya Director Evans One of the Men Who Worked the Institution. Philadelphia, Pa. , May 30.—The Even ing Telegraph this afternoon says: “Buits will be begun in a few days against Nelson F. Evans, a director in the Bpring Garden National Bank, who was so strongly urged apon the government for appointment as receiver of the Keystone Bank against Ephraim Young, also a director of the Spriug Garden Bank, and against H. Albrecht, an ex-direotor, now presi dent of the American Machine Company, which was seized by the sheriff a few days ago. All the suits will be brought In tha civil courts, and although reports of crim inal prosecution against other officers of the bank thau the Kennedys (president and cashier) ere flying thick and fast, both Bank Examiner Drew and Receiver B. F. Fisher say that they have taken no steps toward suoh a consummation of the hopes of the angry and despairing depositors. NATURE OP THE SUITA "The exaot nature of the suits which will be instituted is not yet known, because while it has been definitely decided that suits will be begun the manner in whloh to approach is yet under consideration. It is known, however, that in addition to Evans’ nearly $300,000 of indebtedness to the bank in his own and other persons, notes, and practioally worthless collateral, 1 has overdrawn one of bis aooounte in the bank almost $13,000. Evans kept two accounts in the bank ledger. One in the uame of “Nelson F. Evans" is about square, whatever balanoe there is being quite small and on the right side of the account. The othußaccount was in the name of 4 'Nelson F. Evans, treasurer,” and is the one which is overdrawn. WORTHLESS COLLATERAL. "This account was kept by Mr. Evans a9 treasurer of the Bunker Hill Mining Com yany, whose stock at the par value of $1 for its 250,000 shares is not worth 1 cent a share. It is said that 75,000 to 100,000 shares of this stock have been placed In the Boring Garden bank as collateral for loans to Evans and his friends. The exact relations of Dlreotor Young and ex-Director Albrecht to the bank as debtors have not been fully ascertained, although it it known that nearly all are connected with an overissue of the stock of the bank. THE OVERISSUE FRAUDULENT. "The overissue was a fraudulent one by the Kennedys, even if no one else was mixed up in the matter, and it has been ascertained that parr, of this stock found its way into the hands of Young and Albreoht t and upon it as collateral security for their own notes, they have borrowed money, but how much is not yet definitely known. Two of the banks with which the stock was pledged ■were the Coatesville National Bank, which is in for $0,600, and the Sixth National Bank, SI,OOO, both of which have brought suit upon the notes. Both Young and Albrecht put all the blame on President Kennedy. They claim that they were innocent holders of the stock. They did not know that it was pert of an overissue, nor that it waa not registered. They both say that the stock waa handed to them by Kennedy, who asked them to make tneir notes to outside banks and present the Btocfc as collateral security.” PRESIDENT KENNEDY IN JAIL. President Francis W. Kennedy of the suspended Spring Garden National Bank, who was yesterday committed for further bearing on a charge of embezzlement and conspiracy to defraud, was taken to the county prison this afternoon in default of hail. His bail had been fixed at $20,000, Kennedy being detained in custody at an hotel over night. During the day every at tempt to obtain bondsman has been made, but wituout success. BARDSLEY IN A CELL. Three Serious Charges Against Him. Unable to Give Ball. Philadelphia, Pa., May 39.— John Bardsley, ex-oity treasurer of Philadelphia, was arraigned at noon in the central police court to answer to the triple charge of mis appropriating $39,000 of the city’s money, the embezzlement of upward of $400,000 cf the state’s funds, and perjury in violatiug the oath of his office by loaning the city’s money out at interest. Since bis arrest a week ago Bardsley has been oonfined to his bed, suffering from prostration, incident to the terrible mental strain that he has |been under for the past few months, and his ap pearance to-day showed now severe his suf fering has been. BARDSLEY’S ADMISBI ONB. After the examination of a number of witnesses and after Bardsley himself had taken the stand and admitted having depos ited the state money in the Keystone and several other banks and received Interest tuereon, Magistrate Pole committed Bards loy under SIO,OOO for trial at oourt on the charge of misappropriation of the city’s funds, $35,000 bail for trial on the charge ,w. embezzlin K state funds, and $5,000 bail for further hearing on the charge of perjury in violating his oath of office. The oounsel for Bardsley an nounced that his client did not expect to secure bail and Bardsley was accordingly taken to Moyamensing prison. During the time which Bardsley spent at the city hall this morning prior to the hearing the ac cused city treasurer remained in the private offices of Chief Deteetive Wood, in charge of two detectives. VERY MUCH DEJECTED. Be was very much dejected, and was not Inclined at first to talk about the serious charges which bad been preferred against him. He subsequently said that bis posi tion was hard to bear, and then, turning suddenly to the officers, remarked: "I tell you, gentlemen, I have been in for the past six months. I thought that things would ci m: out all right, but they did r ot, and I aui glad that the thing is ended. President Marsh’s action has beuu a great disappointment to me. He should have been more oourage jus and remained in town, but he has proven himself a coward by running away. I never bad thought about going away, but will remain where I am and ac cept whatever punishment the law plaoe* upon me.” HARDSLEY’H STOCK DEALS. The sul>committen of the finance oommit t*e of the city councils, which has been in '•litigating city treasurer Bardsley's ac •cunt* and financial dealings, lesumed 1U work tins afternoon after a two days’ re r*s.

Among the stock pledged to Glendennlng & Ca for loans was $360,000 worth which had not been purchased for him by tnat firm, which indicated that Mr. Bardsley was dealing in stocks through other brokers. P syrnent of warrants was stopped at the city treasury this afternoon about 3 o’clook, the "cash in the drawer” being et that time about exhausted. Paying Teller Galla gher explained to a number of people who presented warrants for payment that the cash balance had been paid out, and that Chief C'lerk King, upon the advice of the county oontroller, aed in view of the pending change In the office, had decided not to draw any more oash from the bank to-day. To-morrow, a legal holiday, City Treasurer Bardsley’s resignation takes effect, and on Monday another treasurer will be in charge. BLAINE GOING TO MAINE. The President Will Visit Him at Bar Harbor This Summer. Washington, May 29. —President Har rison was to-day informed that Secretary Blaine would go to Bar Harbor on Monday, and could not return to W ashmgton before Oat. 1, Secretary Blaine has not as yet de termined whether he will resign or not. He will probably wait until he is better before doing so. He has praotically dis posed of all the great pending Questions in the state department. The details can be easily attended to by Presi dent Harrison or by John W, Foster and occasional confsrenoe with Secretary Blaine personally or by proxy. If Secretary Blaine does not resign the President will alnioet certainly visit him at Bar Harbor within two months. Meanwhile Gen. Fos ter, who is on intimate terms with both the President aud the secretary, will visit Sec retary Blaine tor him. There ia reason to believe that Gan. Foster, who saw President Harrison to-day after ha had gotten the news from Secretary Blaine, will go to New York to see Secretary Blaine before he leaves for Bar Harbor. If Secre tary Blaine determines to resign it is regarded by President Harrison’s friends in and out of the cabinet as almost certain that Senator Edmuuda will succeed him. BLAINE IMPROVING. New York, May 29.—There was no change in Secretary Blaine’s condition this morning. Dr. Dennis visited him and said afterward that he found the Secretary still Improving and feeling quite comfortable. The wet weather will prevent him from en joying his usual dally drive. HARRISON'S DICKER WITH QUAY. Blaine’s Bad Health Will Make the President More Independent. Washington, May 29.— Chairman Quay will have bis conference with President Harrison next week. Senator Quay is ex pected to land from his yachting trip at Norfolk on Monday or Tuesday and come direotly to Washington. The President's belief that Secretary Blaine is no longer to be feared aa an osplrant for the nomination next year may give him a more definite tone in the negotia tions with Senator Quay than he would otherwise have had, but Senator Quay is in an independent position himself aud the bargaining will not be one-sided. However, President Harrison will probably promise only patronage in exchange for Senator Quay’s support, end will not yield to Senator Quay’s demand that be should have direction of the Harrison canvass and campaign. REPORTED TO HAVE ASSIGNED. The Commissioner of Patents to Re sume the Practice of Law. Washington, May 29.—There is an ap parently well founded rumor in circulation here to-day to the effect that Charlee E. Mitchell, commissioner of patents, has ten dered his resignation to the President to take effect at an early day, presumably at the end of the fiscal year, June 30. Mr. Mitchell, however, when appealed to, positively declined either to oonfirm the rumor or deny it. Nevertheless the information comos from a source which leaves little or no doubt of its accuracy. There seems to be no question that Mr. Mitchell's only object in resigning is that he may resume the practice of patent law, either at his home at New Britain, Conn., or in some other eastern city. Mr. Mitchell’s administration of the patent bureau is generally regarded here as hav ing been eminently successful. MAY’S DEBT STATEMENT. An Apparent Increase of $250,000 Since May 1. Washington, May 29.—The May debt statement to be issued Monday will show an apparent increase of $250,000 in the debt since May 1. This is due to the fact that the disbursements during the month were unusually large, leaving less money in the treasury May 29 by about the amount stated available for the payment of the debt. The pension payments were $6,500,- 000, leaving $17,600,000 of such payments for the present quarter to be met during the month of June. HAMILTON RESIGNS. Walter Way man Will Succeed Him as Surgeon General. Washington, May 29.—Dr. John B. Hamilton, surgeon general of the marine hospilal service, has resigned that office and accepted the position of professor of the principles of surgery and surgical pathology in the Kush medical college in Illinois. He will be sucoeeded as surgeon general by Surgeon Walter Way man of the marine hospital service, who has been his chief as sistant in this city for some time. Dr. Hamilton will remain in the service with the grade of surgwm, he having been appointed to that grade by the President to-day. NEW SILVER COINd. A Committee Appointed to Pass Upon the Designs. Washington, May 29.— At the request of the director of the mint the Secretary of the Treasury has appointed Augustus Bt. Uaudens of New York, Henry Mitchell of Boston and Charles E. Barber, an engraver of the mint of Philadelphia, as a committee of artists to advise the director in passing upon the new designs for silver oolns of the United States. A FENCE TO COST $7,600.

DIXIE’S PRESBYTERIANS. THE ASSEMBLY WINDS UP ITS WORK AND ADJOURNS. The Report on Card Playing Consid ered—An Overture In Reference to the Selection of Deacons and Bldera Causes Discussion—Women Not to Be Allowed to Spsak In Public. Birmingham, Ala., May 29.—The Pres byterian general assembly adjourned to day. The first buiinees this morniug was a motion to reconsider the report previously adopted with respect to the practice of card playing, prevalent in most circles. The motion was adopted and an amendment was offered, so that the report will read: "In some of our churches." Dr. Moore wanted it to reed: "In many churohee." Dr. Peters wanted it “Vary many." And it was finally ordered to read: "Dancing aud card playing that prevail in soma of our churches." DRAGONS AND ELDERS. Next came an overture sent over by the last assembly in reference to deacons and elders who are inducted into office without exami nation as to their knowledge of the rules aud doctrines of the church. It came up originally from the Greenbrier pres bytery, and the report of the com mittee this morning favored a change so as to require examination. Dr. Parke, chairman of the committee, strongly sustained the report, maintaining that it too often happened that men are elected and inducted into offioe at the same meeting and sometimes by packed presby teries, with no examination at all. He had knowu cases where such deacons and elders had not even seen the book of orders. Kev. Mr. Chester offered ao amendment provid ing tor extraordinary oases. A LONG DISCUSSION. A long discussion ensued, one tide being in favor of such requirements as would se cure educated elders, aud the other main taining that the present restrictions are suf ficient, and that frequently rnen who were 'not learned made good church officers. Finally it was solved by the adoption of a substitute offered by Dr. Hitner, that the assembly declines to send down overtures on the subjeot, but urges all churches and pres byteries to be careful in the selection of deacons and elders. WOMEN SPEAKING IN PUBLIC. The oommittse having charge of the over ture in reference to women speaking in pub lic made a report, recommending that it be not allowed, and after a brief disouasion the report was adopted. The old oase of J. C. Cassell, who had been turned out of a church in the Mem phis synod, came up. He carried bis case before his presbytery, wdich investigated it aud found that his discharge on the score of unbecoming conduct was really the work of malice on the part of two other members named Hearn and Smith. The presbytery accordingly ordered that a clean let ter be given him. The synod had overruled the presbytery and sided with the chiu'chp After discussion pro and con the assembly voted to sustaiu the presbytery In its action and disapproved the aotlon of the synod. SEVERAL ADDRESSES MADE. The venerable Dr. Marshall of Texas was called on for an address and responded feelingly. Dr. Hose, the moderator, mode an address in reply, ) Dr. Handley of Birmingham followed ia a brief speech. The usual resolutions of thanks were passed; “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” was sung, and the assembly adjourned. This afternoon the delegates were taken on an excursion tendered by the Ensley dummy line to the Eneley furnaces. A great many delegates left the olty last night and to-night’s trains took more. BRIGGS’ NEW DOCTRINE. The Presbyterians at Detroit Still Wrestling With Bis Case. Detroit, Mich., May 29.—1n the Presby terian general assembly the day was prao tically given up to the disouasion of the case of Dr. Briggs. Dr. Logau’s amendment to the committee report offered yesterday found friends ereo among those who expected to vote to sus tain the committee. Among others Elder James S. Ramsay of New York said, although he waa on the side of the prosecu tion in the New York presbytery, he favored Dr. Logan’s amendment. l)r. Worcester of Chicago offered a substitute to the amend ment of Dr. Logan and to the entire report of the committee of Dr. Patton. After a preamble reciting the difficulty and per plexity of the assembly and of the direoters of the Union theological seminary, in view of the utterances of Dr. Briggs’ Inaugural, delivered after his appointment to his chair, the sub stitute provides that a committee of eight ministers and seven eiders be appointed to confer with the directors of the seminary; that the directors be especially requested to reconsider their action in transferring Dr. Briggs; that they Jbe requested that Dr. Briggs should not be allowed to perform the duties belonging to said chair for the ensu ing year. AN ADVOCATE OF PEACE. Dr. Worcester then said: "I stand not as a supporter cf Dr. Briggs but as an advocate of peace. I have honed and prayed that our action might lead to unity, not bitter ness, and make us strong for our great fight with evil. I believe there are many on bpth sides of the Briggs question who feel as I do and long for some safe middle course. When I heard that it had been committed to some of the dearest brains I hoped some such middle course would be found. Dr. Patton’s report says this is the least we can do. i say, what more can we do? We cannot put him in jail or even turn him out of the church for heresy. What Dr. Pat ton suggests is straining the power of tho assembly to the utmost, it seems to me. We have a right to do what 1 advise —to request the trustees of the Union Theo logical Seminary to reconsider their action. This course will not render the position of the New York presbytery more difficult in the trial of I)r. Briggs.” DK. WORCESTER'S SUBSTITUTE REJECTED. The discussion ended at 5 o’clock. A vote was taken on Dr. Worcester's substitute for Dr. Patton’s report, whioh resulted in Its rejection by an overwhelming vote. Dr. Logan was permitted to withdraw his amendment, and then the great final vote was taken by celling the roll. Knob minister and elder answered ays or nay as his name was aallsd. Copies of the roll were marked by eager listeners all over the house as the call want on. At Its close the count stood: For Dr. Patton’s report 440, against 59. Harrison Banquets Boyd. Washington.

Louis, 111., this after noon, and is now in jail in that oity. When seen by a reporter Burthe et first refused to talk, but a leading ques tion opened bis mouth. He said: "When the Hennery murder cate was called I was drawn op the panel. Before 1 was examined and rejeoted F. Armont approached me and said 1 would get #I.OOO if I got on the Jury and found the Italians not guiltv. I told him 1 could do nothing of the kind. THREATENED WITH DEATH. "After the trial I told Mr. Parkereon and afterward communicated to him the feet that Edgar White, a deputy sueriff, had threatened to kill me if I testified against bis friend Arment. Yes, I was afraid and left New Orleans etui got $1,000." But he seemed to realize that he was telling too much and in the very next breath said he left New Or leans of his own free will and accord. “If 1 teetify against those two mou it will be because I am compelled to, as they have families and I don't want to send them to the penitentiary. There was no reason for my leaving New Orleans except to save these two men from penal servitude." It is not known whether or not he will go back without requisition papers. The only charges on whioh he oan be taken back are contempt of court or compounding a felony. INDICTMENTS QUASHED. Nbw Orleans, La..

PARLIAMENT IN THE DARK ABOUT THE AGREEMENT. The Authorities at Washington Re quested to Allow the British Minis ters to Make a Fuller Statement—No Changes In tho Orders Previously Given to the Revenue Cutters on the Pacific Coast. London, May 29. —William Henry Rmitb, first lord of tha treasury, to-day introduced in the House of Commons a bill prepared by the governmeut prohibiting British sut>- jeots from catching seals in Bering sea for a certain period. The duration of time during which seals cannot be oaptured, is not, however, given in tha bill. Mr. Brice asked if the government. In view of the second reading of the Bertug sea bill beiug fixed for Monday, would dis tribute tho latest papers with reference to the negotiations with the United States. Mr. Smith said that the government would do so if the United States govern ment assented, lie added that tho govern niont had cabled to Washington asking the assent of the United States government. THK HOUSE DISAPPOINTED. (Oopyrighted, 1801, by Ms New York Associated Press.) London, May 29.—A measure of the im portance of the Bering oa bill is rarely read the first time in tho House of Commous without ministers affording the House fuller particulars than they vouchsafed to-day re garding its provisions. The members list ened with strained attention to Mr. Smith, expecting to learn the terms of the agree ment with the Washington government, aud great was their disappointment whsu be stopped short after uttering a formal re quest for permission to bring in s bill to enable the queen, by an order iu oouncil, to make speoial prvoision to prohibit the catch ing of seals in Bering sea by bor majesty’* subjects durlug the porlod named iu order, NO FACTS OBTAINABLE. Questions put to the ministers In the lobby elicited nothing beyond the statement that they are waiting final responses from Washington. Mr. Smith has only vouch safed assurance that the arraugemeut already secured harmenizea the notion of the British government with that of the American government. Other ministerial members express themselves a* certain that the measure will meet with no adverse oritioism either In the House or in the oountry, and that it will lead to the permanent settlement of the dispute. Though the period of prohibition is un derstood to be one year, the elastic nature of au order iu council will empower the government to make a further extension. Bo many members were discussing the situation iu the lobbies and in the smoking room that the House could not proceed with business, and it was counted out early in the evening. orders of the cutters Washington, May 29.—1 t does not ap pear that any change iu the orders to re venue outlet s ha* followed the action of the British government in introducing a bill to fire vent British subjects from taking seals n Bering sea. The Bear is to sail to morrow from Han Francisco to Alaska porta under the orders sent last week. The cutter Corwin, however, Is In readiness in case of need to hurry after the cutters in Alaskan waters with supple mentary and qualifying orders. Ths subject was not referred to at to-day’s cabinet meotlng, and there is reason to believe that this government Is waiting upon the action of the British parliament before proceeding further. more vessels may be needed. It was stated to-day by a person in au thority that in oase of the oompletion of the agreement with Great Britain it will prob ably be necessary to supplement the force of cutters in Bering sot by some naval ves sel, in view of the large number of poachers that are urfderstood to be iu those waters or ready to enter them. Moreover tho cutters, with their small number of officer* and crews, have by past experience shown their inability to take care of prizes after their capture. There is uo disposition to repeat the past humiliating experience of placing a prize orew of one man aboard a seized vessel only to have him oarried off to a foreign port. So it is possible that some aud perhaps ail of the uaval vessels at the Mure Island navy yard with their numerous crews may be sent north as soon after the agreement is perfected by the action of the British parliament as circum stances will permit. There are at that navy yard the Alert, Mohican, Marion aud Thetis, the latter ship specially fitted out for such service as she would be called upon to render in northern waters. The Alert aud Mohican are ready for sea and the other two might be put in condition for service in a short time. NEWFOUNDLAND’S FISHERIES. Uneaalnesa in the British Foreign Of fice. (Copyrighted, 1891, by the New York Associated Press.) London, May 29.—Although Lord Salis bury told the House of Lords to-night that the French government would accept a sus pension of the Newfoundland bill, uneasi ness prevails in the foreign office regarding M. Rtbot’s exact view of the practical abandonment of the measure which Lord Haiisbury Is pledged to pass. The minis terialists do not oonsider the Newfoundland difficulty by any means settled, though they admit that the dispute between the homo government aud the colony is for th<- time cased. Lord Salisbury spoke with i (Si a • j on the situation. He declared that t..e ri use of Commons was now pledged to support any future legislation necessary to carry out the treaty obliga tions, but he added that os to the immediate result of the proceeding of the House of Commons he must speak with reserve, as he did not know how the French gowernmeot might view it.

It is regarded as pretty oertain that the democratic executive com mittee will ignore the demand, as uudar the rules clubs are entitled to ooms In until June 20. The funny part of this tempest lu a teapot is the fact that there are not over .1,000 white votes out of alxiut 6,000 who have registered and qualified them selves to vote. ROBBIA AND THE JEWS.

(.Copyrighted, 1(91, by the New York Ateociated fVess.i London, May 29.—Mr. Gladstone's sug gestion toward remedyiog the persecution of the Russian Jews strongly disappoints the commlnlty. His letter on tbe subject ignores tbe fact that the Huaso-Je wish com mittee has already taken the exact course he suggested. At a meeting of Jewlah symphthisers the speakers de clared that facts were known whioh justified the action of European gov ernments; that a crisis had been reached, and that time was prscious. Lord Roths child had presented a memorial to Lord •Salisbury asking tbe British gov ernment to initiate concerted aotloa by tbe powers to assist the wholesale emi gration of Jews to Palestine. The Roths childs, Goldschmidt and all the leading Jews of England concur in tbe opinion that settlement of the Jews in Palestine is tbe best plan. They aim to obtain European recognition of a great wave of emi gration as necessary to a solution of the Jewish problem. litron Hir so, though having schemes of his own, sup ports the English plan to operate through diplomatic channels. Lord Salisbury,leav lng usual official channels,lt reported as writing directly to the hoada of European govern ment commending their coniideratlon of the Rothsobild memorial. Mr. Gladstone is obliged to stay at Ha warden for another fortnight, his recent illness having left traces in his lungs of a badnooagb. A GL ALS lONIAN VICTORY.
