BUSKIRICS FINANCES

He Still Holds .Money That Belongs in the City Treasury. But He Claims that the City Owes Him Board of Works Minor . Appointments. Ex-Judge Busklrk owes the city some money, and the city owes ex-Judge Busklrk some money. Perhaps the Judge has not a great deal of faith in the ability of the city to pay him his two weeks' salary, for he holds on to the money he owes the city with a grim determination to - guarantee himself the sum which he thinks he earned by hard labor on the police bench at the time his campaign was very warm. "Well," says he, "the city owes me back salary, and when she gets ready to settle, I will settle with her." The Judge is a philosopher, he Is. This Idea of going out of office without turning over the fees that the law says shall be turned over to the city Is a mere formal thing, anyhow. When a man is fined In the Police Court he must pay the money, together with the costs, to the city clerk. That official turns the money over to the judge every week and takes the judicial receipt, Ex-Clerk Abrams never held money over two weeks at the furthest. The law provides that the judge shall turn the money over to the city treasurer and get a receipt from him. Judge Buskirk was not as prompt as the city clerk, however, and he generally waited till the end of three months before turning the fees into the city's strong box. Ho kept the money at a bank. The law doe3 not give him the right to hold back the money this length of time, although there does not seem to be any law to compel him to turn it over in a shorter time On Sept. CO Busklrk paid the city treasurer $620, and received a quietus from the controller. lit has not paid any money In, since that time, although he held office, and received" fines and costs until Oct. 12. It wa the impression of Sam Perrot, who was a deputy in the controller's office, that Buskirk had made a complete settlement when he retired from office, but an examination showed that he had made no settlement since Sept. 30. The- city, however, still owes the exJudge his two weeks' salary, and under a ruling of Controller Woollen he cannot get this salary until January, 1804, the end of the quarter. Well," thinks the Judge, "It is a poor rule that won't work both ways. I won't pay the city till the "e:.d of the quarter." And there you are. It is not known whether the balance la in favor of the city or the distinguished erstwhile jurist The ex-Judge also carried away the principal record of his court, and claims that it is his personal property, although the city paid for the book. Randall Abrams says the Judge ought to have the right of carrying away this, book because it contains in the back of it the receipts the Judge obtained for moneys he turned over to the city treasurer. It left the new judge in somewhat of a predicament, however, for there is no record book for the Police Court. A new one was hastily ordered, but it has not been completed. City Clerk Nixon has a considerable sum which he has collected in the way of fees, and which he is anxious to turn over to Judge Stubbs, but theTudge does not want to receive the moneys until itf ,recLra ,Is completed. Judge Stubb9 thinks the city should have the monev as soon as it is collected. He does not believe his office is a fiduciary one. TUB CRUSH OF APPLICANTS. Tsvo Sranll Appointment The Tomllnson Hull Jnnltorshlp. Since the day 2L Denny was sworn in as Mayor there his not been the crowd of applicants in the courthouse basement that there was yesterday. Most of them were applicants for minor positions, who expected the Board of Works to make the appointments in the afternoon. Bill Long, with a straw hat, was one of the leaders encouraging the men out of work to be cheerful. The board held a long session In the afternoon in their private apartments considering appointments, but they only determined on two appointments. Henry Mosby, a colored man. living in the Seventh ward, was made assistant Janitor at Tomllnson Hall It was understood that C. W. Wheat, of the First ward, and an old soldier, was to be appointed janitor of the hall, but the board did not finally decide to inform Wheat that he would pet the place. He may be notified this morning, however Gorge W. Donovan, of S3 Helen street was made custodian of Military Park. Several councllmen called around to speak a word or two In favor of some candidate. Mr. Conduitt .will probably continue on the board for a month, as the Mayor is in no hurry to accept his resignation. The other members want him to remain on the board for some time, and it mav be that the Mayor wUl decide to keep Mr. Conduitt on the board as the third man. THE E.NGIXKEITS DEPAItTEM.NT. Frank E. Fuller Appointed Chief Deputy Tli e Sewer Works. Frank E. Fuller was yesterday appointed chief clerk in the city engineer's office, to succed W. C. Allen. -Mr. Brown, the new engineer, and Mr. Mansfield spent the afternoon looking over the street3. There will be extensive sewer work next year, and Mr. Brown will be well qualified to look after the work. The Hoard of Works has papers prepared for the Mississippi-street sewer, the main intersector above Pogue's run and the Morton-street drain, but the old board left the final action for the new board. City Attorney Scott's Depnty. Albert Rabb, a member of the firm of Bowles & Rabb, a young man thirty years old, was named as City Attorney Scott's deputy yesterday. Mr. Rabb was a ' law partner of William Wallace at the time of the death of Mr. Wallace. He graduated from the Indiana University in 1KS7. and afterwards attended the law school of the University of Virginia, where he graduated In 1SS0, afterwards returning to Indianapolis to take up the practice of law. He has had considerable experience iri practicing in this city for a young man. Mr. Rabb has not been prominent as a politician. Central Labor Union's Resolutions. A committee from the Central Labor Union sent in the resolutions to the Mayor yesterday which the union adopted respecting the cut In salaries of city officers and employes. The resolutions asked the Mayor to have a reduction made all around. Including the salaries of the board members The Mayor indorsed the resolutions nnd sent them to the Board of Works. Mr. Wildman said the board would consider the resolutions. Sprinkling Contractor! Indignant. The assessment rolls for street sprinkling have not been completed and the contractors will probably not get their money until the first of next year. They are very indignant, as the charter declares that they shall be paid the first week in November. Many claim they were compelled to borrow money at high rates of interest in order to keep their contracts. The Uunrili Did Tiot Meet. The Board of Health failed to meet yesterday afternoon, postponing its meeting until this afternoon. The Board of Safsty did not meet yesterday, and there are a number of anxious people wondering what the board is going to do in the way of appointments. ChntiKen In the Controller' Office. G?orge L. Kern, a bookkeeper for Kipp Brothers, has been chosen by the controller to succeed Deputy Perrott. George Harvey takes the chief deputyshlp on Monday. Captain Tarkington will remain in the office, however, until Nov. 1. A Illuze In the Govornor'n Home. For a few minutes last night the home of Governor Matthews. No. 273 North Illinois street, was in Imminent danger of being destroyed by fire. A gas Jet burning too near a lace curtain Ignited the fabric and the fames ppread about the room. The department responded to the alarm and promptly extinguished the blaze. An Old Lndy Attempt Suicide.. Dellah Dupree, aged sixty years, residing nt No. -282 West Market street, attempted suicido early yesterday morning by taking a heavy dose of morphine. The dispensary

physicians revived her and she will recover. Ill health and domestic trouble caused the old lady to grow despondent.

PENNSYLVANIA IRON IIALLERS. . They Will Get a Dividend of 30 Ter Cent. Soon. District Attorney Graham, receiver for the Iron Hall of Pennsylvania, has made his report, and thinks It probable that the dividend will be 30 per cent., although he states that It is almost Impossible to say with any degree of accuracy just what amount will be paid until the exact membership of the order in Pennsylvania has been ascertained. Apart from the securities on hand the receiver shows that there has been collected $141,5S3.38, with various disbursements aggregating $10,411.90, leaving a balance in cash in the receiver's hands of over $130,000. Receiver Graham says that his business has been complicated by the proceedings in the matter here, and on this line remarks: "The claim by Falley, the Indianapolis receiver, vastly complicated the labor of the receiver for Pennsylvania, as notices had been sent by him to every branch in this jurisdiction notifying them that no payment should be made to the receiver here. The determination of eachj branch of what should be done led in many cases to litigation, and all to consultation, both with officers and counsel representing them, and multiplied vastly the labor of the receiver, which would have been avoided had it not been for the action of the Indianapolis receiver." In connection with the distribution of the assets of the order he has this to say: "It is the purpose of the receiver, so for as it is proper for him to interfere in such a matter, to have the distribution of the assets made among the membership of the order In Pennsylvania and prevent their transfer to Indianapolis for distribution through the hands of the receiver there. There is nothing to prevent a member, after receiving his dividend from the fund here, presenting and proving his claim upon the fund In Indianapolis, so far as there are general assets outside of the reserve fund in the hands of that receiver, subject to whatever decision may be made upon thfe question which the receiver there has raised, that where returns have not been made to that jurisdiction no member of a branch falling to make return would be recognized by the court in distribution." INFANTILE FRAUD. Youngster Whoso Lachrymose Schemes Have Netted Him Much Coin. Clarence Morris, a lad nine years of age, was arrested last night by patrolman Slate and locked up on the charge of loitering. The youth has a habit of coining down town late at night and eliciting the sympathy of people on the streets by piteous whining. Philanthropic persons stop to Inquire into his lament, and are usually informed by the weeping lad that some bad boy has taken his papers from him or that he has lost a dollar which his parents gave him to buy a bottle of medicine. The color of a coin Invariably has a quieting effect upon the sorrowing youngster. He Is known to the police as a wretched little fraud, and it is said that his family are in ordinarily good circumstances. AMUSEMENTS. Grand Russell's Comedians. The collection of artists appearing at the Grand last night in Paul Potter's "City Directory," rewritten by Louis Harrison, constitutes as fine a cast with as litte to do as it would be possible to get together "The City Directory" is without rhyme, reason or plot. It is mediocre pot pourrl of inconsequential affairs that are saved from utter failure as amusing features by the native charm of those taking part and not from anything clever in. the lines. 'First comes the "Directory Hotel" with a series of laughable commonplaces. "The Gaiety Theater" with an "amateur rehearsal and vaudeville" making up the second part falls even to approach In amusing incidents .what it might with a skillful man. to rearrange the piece. Everybody In the play goes by the name of Smith and hence "Smith's villa" is the last act, having a few summer Garden scenes. The women are particular strong in voice, looks and and and moving about the staire. Mathielde Cottrelly is the same clever comedienne . she always has been. This Is apparent from the fugitive sparkle of her eye, occasional intonation of her sweet voice and her chic gestures. But she hasn't anything to do that benefits one of her talents. Nellie Parker, with her soulful eyes, strangely stlring voice and slender suppleness engages the deep attention of the audience, but she has no more to do than a stereotpyed name in the directory, serving merely as a guide post. VKute" Kate Uart and Rosy Maym Kelso have lost none of their histrinoic grace or farcecomedy ability, but they have no chance to show off in "The City Directory." Thefact that Amelia Glover dashes off her high-kicking dance in a perfunctory manner during the second act is not enough to redeem the alleged network of the piece. Side play on the part of William Mack, the Denver pugilist, and William V ood, the black Janitor, is about all that prevents insomnia In the second part barring Glover. Dan Daly and Willis Sweatnam are bored .to death to know how to put in the time. All the little clever business prows weary from sheer monotony. A bottle of selzer or some fireworks discreetly distributed might serve to enliven the performance. However, the main object of a plav is to gather the sheckels and it is understood "The City Directory" has been doIn: a good job of that. The audience was particularly generous in its applause which , Is a pretty good indication that it was getting its money's worth from the fun-mak-cr3? who will occupy the boards at the Grand the remainder of the week. English "The Tornado." All the thrilling sensationalism of tank plays, spans of life, railroad wrecks, collapsed tunnels and wild escapes from fire poured into one and dished up In a singleblast hardly expresses the realism of "The Tornado" that for an instant threatened to gut the flies at English's last night. Lincoln J. Carter Is the father of the drama. He produces, perhaps, the most cataclysmic catastrophe ever seen on the stage. Almost without warning the storm breaks on the scene and carries off everything dobse shortly after the mortgage has been lifted. The scene is a country village in Wisconsin on the Fourth of July. All is quiet and calm. Then a faint breeze Is heard. A flag on a staff that had hung limp flutters gently; then as the wind Increases it stands out straight The wind grows into & Rale and then a tornado. The elements howl and the s ky darkens. Lightning vividly flashes In forked ton t s across tho stage real lightning It 13, too; roofs, fences and debris are hurled through the air; trees are torn up and crash upon the ground and a house is demolished and blown away. The scene is one of terrific reality. The jagged lightning, the roaring of the elements and the confusion of the tornado are all remarkably represented. In the second act the author is equally as successful in his realistic representation of a shipwreck, sinking sailors and a broad expanse of angry waters. In the last act there Is a quiet relief from the thrilling allegory of the preceding acts. A successful run Is predicted for the piece by the author of "The Fast Mail." "The Tornado"- will have its own way the rest of the week at English's. Empire Theater "Jolly Old Chnmi." "The Jolly Old Chums" gave their first production in Indlanapoll3 to a good-sized audince, yesterday afternoon, and In the evening to a crowded house. It is a very amusing farce-comedy, intermingled with catchy music and plenty of good songs and dances. Of course, like all farce-comedies, it does not have any pretension to a plot, but that is balanced by a remarkably strong cast. The girls are pretty and clever, the costumes elegant, and all combined t?nd to make it one of the strongest vaudeville attractions on the road. In fact, the conpany is so strong that there is no necessity of its stealing: the advertising thunder of "Two Old Cronies" in its paper, nor is there any real need of its pirating so many of Willie Collier's songs. It has plenty of good ones, and could doubtless get more. Amusement Note. The next attraction at the Grand Opera House will be the comedian. Henry E. Dixey, in the new version of. "Adonis," his engagement being for next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee: He has a large and capable company, and presents the burlesque with new features throughout. Marriage licenses were Issued yesterday to Henry W. Sandman and Bertha Betzner, William W. Maholm and Catharine C Welsh. Admiral McGhehey and Emma Mollenkopf. Benjamin Mlcklnberg and EfCu Harmon.

HUGGED THE YISIT0ES

The People of Marseilles Welcome ; Their Russian Guests. Repetition of the Scenes at Paris and Lyons British Naval Officers Entertained at Spezzia. MARSEILLES, Oct, 23. The cruiser corvette Toretz, one of the Russian fleet, arrived here this morning from Toulon. The jetty facing the Mediterranean and the quays were packed with cheering crowds who welcomed the Russian war ship. Intelligence of her approach was signaled from one of the lighthouses at the entrance of the harbor, and a large number of vessels, loaded to their guards, put out to meet her and accompany her to her anchorage. Salutes were exchanged between the warship and the forts. Admiral Avellan and. his party arrived here at 11 o'clock this morning, and were welcomed In the most enthusiastic manner by the thousands of persons gathered in and about the railway Btation. Every street in the vicinity was crowded. After the prefect had extended an official welcome to the visitors the Russians gave an Informal reception In the station to the crowd that thronged about them. There was no semblance of order, however, and the members of the crowd not only shook hands, but frantically hugged the guests. Almost every Frenchman present shouted "Long live Russia," to which the Russians, waving their caps, responded with the cry of "Long live France." . After this reception the party entered carriages and were driven to the prefecture. The Russians expressed In enthusiastic terms their admiration of the beautiful elms that line the boulevard through which they were driven. The route followed was the Boulevard du Nord, Boulevard du Gommler, the Cours Lletaud, Boulevard de Rome and Boulevard du Muye. An immense crowd lined the entire distance, and the scenes that marked the triumphal progress of the Russians were siniilar to those enacted at the recent fetes in Paris and Lyons. BRITAIX AND ITALY. Visit of the Former's Fleet to Spezzia Regarded as Significant. SPEZZIA, Oct. 20. The municipal authorities of this port entertained the officers of the British squadron at luncheon this afternoon. The Mayor of Spezzia presided at the luncheon, and he had on either side of him Admiral Sir Michael Culme-Sey-mour and the Duke of Genoa, in command of the Italian squadron. Although It Is denied on all slues that the: visit of the British fleet to Spezzia has a political significance, there is no doubt that it has had the effect of bringing the officers of the Italian army and navy into closer and more friendly relations with the officers of tho British Mediterranean squadron. This may or may not have been the object in view when the British squadron was sent to Spezzia, but the fact remains that-this exchange of courtesies has had a decidedly beneficial effect on the relations existing between Italy and Great Britain. The Mayor of Spezzia, in his toast to the British sailors, said: "I see in this exchange of courtesies ttie confirmation of the feeling of fraternity and sympathy between ' tho two nations which have the common aim of progress, civilization and peace, I drink to the health of the "Emboss Queen, to the King and Queen of ta!y, to Admiral Seymour and his officers. Long live England. Long live Italy." The British Admiral, in replying, proposed the health of the King of Italy and the good people of the town of Spezzia. In so doing he dwelt upon the fact that both nations, England and Italy, formed a maritime company. This remark of Admiral Seymour evoked loud cheering. A reception and ball at the Municipal :Theater' -followed.4- Among those "present were Admiral Seymour, the Duke of Genoa, a large number of naval and military officers, the foreign consuls and all the elite of the city. The scene presented is the Municipal Theater by so many brilliant uniforms beneatii the flood of light thrown upon them, and with the background of flowers, ferns and decorations of all descriptions, was one of the most attractive ever witnessed at Spezzia. The British officers and their Italian friends seem to fraternize in the most cordial manner possible. - The Duko of Genoa entertained the officers of tho British squadron at a banquet aboard the Techano this evening. This was followed by a reception at the residence of Admiral Abrano. The streets were illuminated and bands played British airs. ...,-, ME3.LO IX A TIGHT PLACE. Hli Con 1 Supply Short and Ills Vessels In Dad Condition. PARIS, Oct. 2G. The special delegate of Brazil has received a dispatch from Rio do Janeiro, dated Oct. 25, at 8 p. m., which says that the Insurgent vessels are scarcely able to move, from the fact that they are in need of extensive repairs; that their bottoms are terribly foul and that their supply of coal is almost exhausted. According to the dispatch referred to, the vessels composing the Insurgent squadron are compelled to remain In the lower part of the bay of Rio de Janeiro In order to avoid the fire of tho forts, which remain loyal to the government. The forts, it would seem, have already Inflicted considerable damage upon the rebel ships, and the latter no longer dare to expose themselves to the fire of the forts. Constant practice seems to have perfected the marksmanship of the artillerymen garrisoning the government forts, and they are now able so soon a.s they get one or more of the rebel snips within range to drop their shells either on board the war ships or so close to them as to compel the latter to seek safety in the lower portion of the bay. This fact has given much encouragement to the Brazilian government and a speedy termination of the struggle is anticipated. As It is, reports are current in Brazil, and especially in Rio de Janeiro, that Admiral de Mello, despairing of making any further progress about Rio de Janeiro, has made every preparation to gather his war ships together and run the gauntlet of the forts at the entrance of the harbor with the intention of taking his whole force south and joining issue with the insurgents in the southern provinces. Should this be the case, the retreat of De Mello will be regarded as a decided triumph for President Peixoto. Aral Torni Bombarded. LONDON, Oct. 26.A dispatch to the Times from Zanzibar says that a lieutenant attached to the Italian steamer St. Affeta was recently stabbed and killed at Merkah, a seaport town off east Africa, situated forty-five miles from Magadoxo. Merkah was founded by Arab traders, belongs to Zanzibar and is built of stone. It ha3 a population of thre thousand. Including a number of European merchants. The death of the Italian lieutenant was Immediately avenged by bombardment of Merkah, during which a number of the Zomolls were killed and considerable damage dore to the town. Merkah is now said to be quiet, and no further trouble is anticipated, especially as all Ihose in the town have been disarmed. Duty of Socialists. COLOGNE, Oct. 26. At to-day's session of the national Social Democratic convention a resolution was adopted, which was supported by Herren Bebel. Singer, Auer and Liebknecht. declaring that it was the duty of every Social Democrat to belong to a trades union, such organization forming nucleuses around which the laboring men rather in order to get better labor conditions.

Eleven Men Leave Tittsburgr in Small Boats for the Arctic Ocean. PITTSBURG, Oct. 26. Captain Aaron Kingston, of California, and a party of ten, left Pittsburg to-day in three small vessels, the objective point being Merrill island, in the north Artie ocean, about 200 miles north of where the Jeannette was lost. The boats are not much larger than an ordinary skiff, but Captain Kingston is confident of the success of the expedition. The hulls are lined with a number of air tanks of peculiar construction which the captain, who has had twenty-five years' experience in the seas, claims will prevent the boats from capsizing or sinking. From Pittsburg the expedition will go down to New Orleans, then through the Gulf of Mexico to the coast of Central America, then alons: the eastern coast of South America to Cape Horn, passing through the Bering straits and into the Arctic sea. In the party is Captain Kingston's wife, hl3 brother-in-law, C. R. Spangel and his wife. At New Orleans the two smaller boats will be abandoned and the whole party will take tho largest boat. They expect to be gone a year. ROBBED BY THE CASHIER. A St. Louis Hat Company Unable to Stand n. Loss of 9100,000. ST. LOUIS, Oct 26.-The Rainwater-Bradford Hat Company, one of the leading wholesale fl.Tns of this city, at a late hour this evening made a general assignment to secure creditors. This was precipitated by the discovery that the cashier, Louis J. SUver, who has been a trusted employe of the company for eight or ten years, was a defaulter to the amount of $100,000. The assignment is to cover liabilities of $175,000, and assets equivalent to cash are placed at $300,000. Silver cannot be found to-night, although a sheriffs deputy with a warrant is looking for him. Sliver was known to have gambled considerably of late years, and to this his defalcation Is ascribed. The first Intimation of the trouble was made public at 6 o'clock to-night, when an attachment was filed by the hat company upon the personal effects of Silver. This led to inquiry, and the story of the assignment came out piecemeal. This firm does a large business and has been rated flrst-class. Major Rainwater is prominent In business, social and political circles. He is president of the Merchants' Terminal railroad, and was a strong candidate for the last Democratic nomination for Mayor. The private fortunes of the two heads of thfe firm are though to Insure them against total disaster. Other Business Troubles.

Alice Livingston, in Boston Transcript In a low-pitched, agreeable voice, he began talking commonplace to me, but L endeavoring to make the very most of my time, hastily drew him on toward graver subjects. Of his impressions of JSngland.' he was pleased to speak. "The immenslty of London continues to astonish me," he said. "It is like a great body, stomach, lunes and heart, and throbbing arteries. My wife and I never tire of the many phases of life we can meet within ten minutes of each other. Our time has been much occupied, of course, but we have had one or two little early excursions together in hansom cabs. Once we drove from the regions round Whitechapel to May fair. We said little, but thought very much. You may know that I am often accused of exaggeration by many who disapprove of me and my work, therefore. It would afford me satisfaction to write for their benefit my impressions of London and its vivid, teeming life. To do the subjects Justice, I should remain in England longer than I am now able to do, but some day I shall carry out my ambition." "I suppose you have suffered a good deal from interviewers in London?" I ventured, honing he would not recognize me as a "chiel takin' notes." "1 have heen interviewed, yes; but my experiences have not been disagreeable. Everybody has been kind and considerate, and I have not been forced t talk on political subjects, which was what I d re ailed in coming. I have been asked many questions, mostly regarding the moral purposes of my books, my hopes of being admitted into the academy and my opinions as to the outcome of my speech in the institute the other day regarding 'Anonymity in Journalism.' I thought at first the subject of the Forty Immortals might have been avoided, but, on second thoughts, I am not averse to discussing it, as I do certainly hope and expect .to be elected, if not next time, then sooner or later. The Forty are all my friends, and wUl welcome me, and I do not wish to disguise the fact that my admission Is now one of the highest ambitions of my life." "And do you really believe," I asked, apropos of that sheet at the institute, "that every article written should be srned In the columns of the dally papers?,,. . "I think that political utterances alone should be anonymous. All literary' work should, on the contrary, invariably be signed. Thus weight is lent to an opinion, whether it be of a book or play, or author. No criticism can be of value without personality. We want to know not alone what some man thirks, but who it is that ha the thought Then we can better place ourselves in a position to agree or disagree, which lends zest and vitality to our reading. But then I hear that neither English nor American papers devote nearly as much space to literary matter, strictly speaking, as do the French, in which case many of my arguments must have fallen to the ground." Having gone so far, M. Zola suddenly paused, and "fixed me with his glittering eye." "Do you read my books?" he asked"or are you American women afraid of them, like your English sisters?" "We are not so much afraid, perhaps I boldly answered, "but we do not always like them." "Ah. that is a question of taste! But not only do I believe that my -writings cannot injure the mind of any woman, no matter how young I actually contend that they will benefit, and strengthen her against evil, if she read thein with no morbid curiosity, but a candid desire to Judge between right and wrong." "There could have been no more exquisite story than 'The Dream.' " I said evasively. "Ah, I thoroughly enjoyed writing that book," began M. Zola, with sparkling eyes; and perhaps he would have continued tho subject with detail, had not a deputation, grudging me my five minutes in such society, borne down upon him In a way not to be denied. But after all. I had much to remember! Has Already Come in Indian. Philadelphia Times. The time may come " when the prU fighter, if he climbs the ladder of fameNLt all, won't do It by rounds.
