Several times lately communisations have been received at The Naws office asking that we state that the Mr. Blank arrested on such a day was not the Mr. Blank on such and such a street. This is entirely unnecessary. If you have a straight character your friends and all your acquaintances know it and no fears of its being yotL but know that it is simply a man who happens to be so fortunate as to bear your name. As to those who do not know you and are not among your acquaintances it makes no difference fur they will not give the matter a second thought.

Yesterday evening Joe Cooper, with an alcoholic load on as big as a barrel, tried to force bis way into the Porter tent. Porter resisted this little attempt and Cooper accordingly swiped Porter over the head with anatchet cutting an ugly gash. Word was brought to this city that Porter had been killed. The police went over, investigated and returned without making an arrest. It was merely a drunken fight.

BARDLET'S BAM AFFAIRS.

ivrnm«ATioi by the rain DELPHI* COITMCIL COMMITTER.

A Personal Eipltwatlm by Select Councilman Esllw-B^MlBtloai Adopted bjr (he CillMn*' Mtinielpal Association.

Philadelphia, June 10.—At the opening' of the session of the Bardsley investigation committee, vesterday afternoon. Select Councilman Etting took occasion to reply to a published statement purporting to have been made in an interview by the private secretary of Postpmster-Oeneral Wanamaker. After ipkoting the words ascribed to Marsh® Wishing, the private secretary, Mr. Etqpf said: "The statement that I have a personal grudge against Mr. Wanamaker or ever insulted him, is false. In 1886 Mr. Wanamaker was interested in an elevated railroad bill which I opposed because I believed it my duty to do so. In 1887 I was again asked to become a candidate for select council and a petition was numerously signed asking me to accept the nomination. Mr. Wanamaker was at the time a resident of the ward and thu paper was submitted to him, but was not signed by him. I never asked him to sign it never requested anybody to ask him to sign it."

In conclusion Mr. Etting said: "If Mr, Cusliing is correctly quoted in this morning's Press he is a liar. I have been elected from the oward which I represent by citizens irrespective of party and it is inconceivable to suppose that a man of my standing in the community is willing to accept the duty of a councilman from any other consideration than a desire to be of service to the public. I do not propose to be diverted from my endeavor to accomplish reform in this municipality by attacks upon my motives."

Mr. It. K. Da vies, the treasurer oi Bardsley's Bradford Mill Co., testified that, Bardsley for the last three years hail deceived all the money of the company. lie turned over to him as treas\ircr in 1S85 a total of $181,48), in 1890 a total of 5250,440, and for the first four months of 1801 a total of 834,400, He also received in stocks $168,877.83, making a total in three years of $605,717". 88. This money was deposited to the account of the Bradford mills and checked out, some being used for the payment of Bardsley's individual debts. He supposed all this money was that received from the products of the mill, and said that it was $140,000 less than he had received during the three preceding years. Of this sum 8442,331 was in the individual checks of Bardsley drawn on the Keystone bank.

Regarding the judgment executed in favor of the Dobsons, Mr. Davis said that it was made on May 81, before the director# of the Bradford Mill Co. Bardsley informed them that he wished to raalceil to the extent of his interest in the company to insure the Dobsons against any loss they might suffer from being upon hi» bond. Davis admitted that Bardsley owned nearly all of the 400 shares of «the company's stock and the rest was only held by the directors, of which there were five, and the officers to enable them to comply with the law.

Henry ^Leonard, Bardsley's private secretary, who was elected president of the Bradford mills after Bardsley had resigned In order that the judgment might be executed, testified that he never owned a share of the company's stock. Ho acted under Bardsley's instructions and claimed to know very little about the affairs of his employer.

James Dohson when called upon to testify was accompanied by his counsel, Rich an! P. White, who refused to allow him to answer any question relating to the Bradford mills or the judgement which had been executed in his and his brother's favor by Bardsley. Lawyer White stated that the city had filed a bill in equity against the Dobsons, and the matter would have to come before the court. Until that was settled he advised his clients to answer no questions relating to £he subject. A number of questions were naked simply as a matter of record and the committee will apply to the court# for a rule to compel the Dobsons to answer.

Charles Lawrence, who was the assistant cashier and bookkeeper with the Keyjstone bank, and who is under £*00,000 bail, was also called to testify. His counsel accompanied him and said Mr, Lawrence would answer all questions which would not criminate himself. Of Bardsley's relations with the bank he knew very Utile beside the fact that he had three accounts. He recounted his confession to the directors, but said he did not know the government officials took charge of the bank previous to the time it was dosed. Ha knew nothing of any over-bane of stock and never heard of Bardsley's clearing-house duebilla for $080,000 until he read It in the paper*. In relation to the deception practiced upon Bank Examiner Drew, he said that both he Mid Marsh used every effort in their power to deceive.

Samuel Luoaa, the brother of John C. Lucas, the dead man who is charged by Marsh with having been a defaulter to Hie extent of $868,006, said he thought his brother was being called on to bear more than his share of the deficit. He, however* knew nothing which would throw any new light on Bardsley** transactions.

John & Davis, the president of the petroleum exchange, who waa asked to become president when the attempt to reorganise the bank was made, testified thnit he met President Marsh, Examh. li«« -and other* at the bank. He wa* then told that the total deficit amounted to 899$,0W, and declined to have anything snore to do with it. The iMtfanec^sbeet he said, which was thowtt li'inj, wasmad* out by Assistant Bank Examiner Jones and showed the umunt so plainly that no one who looked at it could help the dweorery. O Several witnesses* among whom were ex-Director of Public Work* Gen. Louis Wagner and & & Yard, had been sailed, but were out of town. A demand will be made upon Comptroller

v?W^

committee the stock book of the Keystone bank." At the lastVisit of fh^ Committeo to Receiver Hardley he declined to. give them a transcript of Bardsley's account on the ground that there were several discrepancies in the account of state funds which must first be settled. The committee will now at once apply to Comptroller Lacey for an order to have the books placed at their disposal.

Beaolutiona Adopted.

Philadelphia, June 10.—The Citizens' Municipal association's executive committee forwarded to the council's committee yesterday afternoon the following resolutions which were adopted:

Rttoirtd, That we press upon tbe city couacll and its finance committee tbe Importance of cootlaaing the most thorough and searching Investigation nntll every Infraction of law and breach of on oat management on the part of banks or other financial Institutions or Individuals in connection with the city treasury shall be tally made known, to the end that not only each abuses may be corrected and the offenders brought to punishment, but that the banks and other financial Institutions whose business Is coauucted on sound and safe methods, and fa accordance with law, may be relieved from unjust suspicion, and that confidence restored which is so essential to business prosperity and the general welfare.

Jlesoltfed, That we approve the aotion of the cltv council in requesting the president of the United States to cause a thorough investigation to be made Into the action of the treasury department In reference to the affairs of the Keystone national bank, and in the further request that the comptroller of the currency be Instructed to appear before the committee of councils appolntgd ^Wfft* vestiente the bank and.

WHEREAS. It appear'* that a very large sum of money belonging to the sinking fund of the city, amounting at this time to nearly JOOO.OM.L8 now and has been for a" long period on deposit iiuonc of the banks without yielding any revenue to the city Now, therefore,

Hetolved, That the city council, through Its llnancee or other committee, be respectfully requested to ninke a thorough investigation into the circumstances of this fund, to ascertain the ocoasion for the deposit of such a large sum in a single bank, and to inquire Into the propriety of oo investing the same as to yield an Incometo ie fcit.v. We would also recommend th it interest should-be paid by tho banks upon nil deposits of city or state money. ttnolred, That we highly appreciate the efforts of those members of the finance committee of the council who have so effectively aided in (lie present Investigation. The time which they have given to this service at much sacrifice of personal comfort and convonienae will not fail to reoolve the grateful recognition of their fellow eltlzens.

SOUTH AMERICAN NEWS.

Items of Interest Furnished by the Bureau of American Republics. WASHINGTON, .Tune 10.—The bureau of American republics has the following items of South American news:

Information has been received that all the railroads of Uruguay having 7 per cent, guarantees from the government have proposed to relinquish them and accept 5 per cent, on condition that the remaining 2 per cent be paid into a colonization fund to encourage settlement, and that the government has acceedvd -to-the proposition.

The federal court of Veneznela has decided that capitalists are entitled to re-payment of expenses incurred for plans and preliminary works in cases where congress has refused to sanction contracts for public works made with the executive.

In 1870 the Argentine Republic passed a law permitting the national government to pay a reward of $25,000 for the discovery of a paying coal field. Though many efforts have been made to earn the prize, none have approached success until recently. It is now asserted that a coal bed meeting the requirements has been dsscovered, but further boring operations are necessary to fully verify the statement. Alt' the coal used in the republic has to be Imported. The imports in 1889 amounted to 658,000 tons.

As the result of over speculation, it is estimated that Argentine securities have shrunk in value 3235,000,000 below the highest point reached in 1889, taking no account of losses incurred by investment in Cedulas. While the greater part of this loss falls upon British investors, it is also borne by Germany, France and Belgium.

i:

tbe Stand,

Lait night the hour arrived for roll call and Mr. Meagher who had been on the anxious seat all the afternoon began to look for some of the true blue city police to put in an appearance. TJiey appeared but at the foot of the stairs Acting Superintendent Butler took charge of them and they recognized in him their chief, to serve whom meant lo receive their pay for their services. Mr. Meagher went down stairs and ordered the men to go up to roll call but they did not go worth a cent They knew that Judge McNutt's decision yesterday did not compel them to do any thing of the kind, so they did not allow Mr. Meagher to hoodwfnk them into going upstairs by putting on a bold front. Wlien the bold front racket did not work Mr. Meagher then, demanded the city property which the. city's patrolmen had in their possession in the shape of clubs and badges. Butler refused point blank to give up a thing and turning about ordered the men to their districts and every tnan obeyed the order leaving Mr. Meaghqr without any more men turn he bad in the first place.

This morning the circus struck town and the mets decided that they must have some more men so. Deputies Parish and Frisz were borrowed from Sheriff Stout who, by the way, te heartily in sympathy with the metropolitans and will do all in his power t6 assist them. John Hardwick, a depot policeman paid bv the Vandalia, was alto borrowed for the day and Harry Hamill was put in as an extra. Tho whole metropolitan force was massed at headquarters this morning for roll call. By orders of Meagher the men appeared in citizens clothes and were sent out into the streets and alleys in the central part of the city.

About the time that Mr. Meagher wes reading his orders to his little handful of men Judge Taylor sitting in his chair two squares distant, under f^he shadow of the great dome of tne court house, was preparing to make a fresh break at the city men. He was drawing up an order for the whole city tribe tD appear in his com forthwith and answer such questions as should be put to them. Some one has evidently been talking to Judge Taylor and succeeded in making him believe that the city's men and true defenders had violated the injunction of his court of May 22nd. Sucfe however is the only conclusion that could be reached after reading private order which is given here.

Jacob C. Kolsem, et al ts. Injunction. f'l Henry M. Griawold et al It is now ordered by the court that tbe sheriff notify Robert B. Stlmson, Samuel C. Stlmson, Henry M. Griswold, John W. Boss. Nicholas Stein. John Butler, Burnett Hall, F. W. Stoecker,William T. Budd, John M. Goodpasture, William R. Miller, William A.Lewis, James Bishop, Harvey Connerly, James Hinton. James Merriman, Frank Smith, John Ryle and John Beattlo to appear forthwith in tbe Vigo circuit court to answer such questions that may be put to them touching the violations, if any there are, to the order of the Vigo circuit court in this cause on May 22, 1891, restraining Henry M. Griswold, John W. Sort and others from interfering with or attempting to take control of the police force of the city of Torre Haute, etc. 'While, the clerk was busy making copies of the. court's order Sheriff Stout anxiously inquired whether they were ready for him yet. He was so thoroughly in sympathy With the usurpers and their agents that he could scarcely wait for the clerk to finish, to get something in bis bands to serve pn the .city men and haul them up.

As soon as Stout got the papers in his hands he immediately, in company with deputies, started out and caught ths whole posse named and ordered them to appear in court at 1 o'clock. At 1 o'clock the men were on hand and Judge Taylor said that the roll should be called. This was done and on the first call R. B. 8timson and A. M. Higginsdid not answer. The court ordered it called again and it was started and the voices of R. B. Stimson and A. M. Biggins still remained. "Is this intended to be contempt of this court*' roared Judge Taylor excitedly. "If it is, I will very soon settle it Mr. Stimson, I told you to gnawer to the call of the sheriff. Mr. Stimson replied that be had not heard the court's order, and on being informed that he was wanted to answer, he did so. Then Oliver M. Higgins was called. "Your honor, 1 refuse to answer to that name. It is not my name," said Higgins.

What is your name?" asked the court. "My name is Alvin M. Higsins." "The sheriff will call Alvin M. Higgins," ordered the court. This was done, and answered, after which the patrolmen answered order as their names were called.

Mr. Stimson then remarked that some one must have carried stories to him and told them. The court replied, 'There are some things which the court can without being told.

I have ob

I the workings of the

served and watched polios force, and now I simply want to make some enquiries," Mr. Stimson did not think that the court knew Umbo things from personal observation and Judge Taylor cut him short with, "I won't hear airy further arguments now on this. I want to make some inquiries for my own information on subjects which I acknowledge that am in ignorance of.M «OaJl your tun* witness" was the order, and Deputy Sheriff Fries called off the name of "John Butler," and Betier came forward and took a chair before the bench.

The court began tbe war by suiting -'At^you acting as a police officer of the

aaa," was the amwer. Mr* StbusosT than aotosi snd stii *Yo«r honor, befor* th« court proceeds mj iarther we wish to say Ibat thJs pro«MllnjrseesQs to be somewhat «t least We think that whatever the Seesawthstth*sbottM be itdscsd to writing." Here Judfce "Baylor broke in with'lir.Stimwjn, the court haaaright to lad out anything or obtain any information in any way that it sees fit. Thiaw notsaaetfce fo£ contempt, it Is simply.

Mr. Stimson then asked to be allowed to make a special in the case to defend himself nst the that the court give them time to draw up and file a bill of exceptions. He askea that the proceedings be conducted in a regular and orderly manner and said: "I think that we ought to be granted tbe privilege of so doing.. If the court will give us until to-morrow morning we will prepare ourselves and papers. If it is necessary to answer we will do fully and frankly. I can say that I have done nothing in violation of any order of this court in any way. I am not speaking for the other gentlemen but for myself." Judge Taylor then said, "I don see how you can understand that the court is preferring charges against any ona when he is simply trying to tind out certain things lor his own information. This court does not want to be arbitrary but I want to find out something. The court has a right to institute an inquiry." "Were you informed about the order of this court of May22d?" s, \c "I don't think that I was." '•To what authority do you report?" "To none, sir." "Have you been reporting to Davis?" "No, sir." "To Meagher?" "No, sir. •'Have you been advised not to report to Meagfier?" "No Sir." ^"Have you been told either directly or iisSirectly not to report to the state officftr6?" -"Well, I have been talking to a few." s3*Io whom?" £To s: C, Sti^gij^' ^What aid hOSy to you?" „"^He told me to tise my own judgment fdrthe matter."

TO

MEAGHER OB GO TO JAIL.

"He didn't say anything about the orders of this court." Does not the city force report to you?" "It does."

Stimson then interrupted, thinking that the court was overstepping the points embodied in the court's order. The court then said, "Now, Mr. Stimson, we will come to the point immediately. We want to know who has been advising these men." John Lamb then took up the cro3s qurstioning as if byl a prearranged plan.

Lamb said, "Did you not yesterday evening order certain policemen to their districts in this city Mr. Butler?" Stimson objected but the court sustained Lamb saying that he was going to permit the attorneys to use any means to get at the bottom of the affair. "Did you not send the men (o their districts by advice of Mr. Stimson?" "I did not." "By whose advice?" "No one's." "On whose authority did you do so?"

VMy own." ,isi "Did you talk with Mt. Sfshmon?" i» "I did not talk with Mr. Stimson." "Where were you yesterday?" "I nya8 in his office yesterday." "Who did you talk with?" "I talked with S. 0. Stimson." "What did you talk about?" "A little of everything." "Talk abodt the police affair?'' "A little." "What made you go up there?" "I don't know, I just went up there." "What did he say to you?" "He said for me to use my pleasure." "Did you tell any of the men what Mr. Stimpson told yon?" "I told one or two.": "Who were they?" «.

1

"I doft't knpw now." "Where'did all of these^men get their advice, then?** "I don't knotf." "Who put you in charge of ths pen?" "No one." "Did you consult with Mr. Stlmson Or Mr. Davis?" "No su\ I didn't talk to either of them." "Do you remember the in ruction issued by this court?" "Yes, I believe I remember it." "Where were you then?" "I had charge of the force at night then."

Were you present when Mr. Meagher demanded the badges and maces?" "iwas." "And you refusedvto give them up?" "I did." &s'.

Was Mr. 8. C. Stiofton there?" "Yes, sir." j- *3$** "Did you talk to hfra?^\ *f "I did." "Why did you talk to him?" "Bacauaejhe was not the city attorney." L-, "Did 0ti tilk to Mr. Hisgtns?" "I talked to him a iittle, "How otenr "I don't know."

1

Well, about bow often?" 4 ^WflL I don't know, but quite frequently. "What was said?" .« "He just asked how we were getting along, and I said that we were getting along alt right."

Mr. 8. C. Stimson interrupted and said that that did not show that the attorneys had violated the court's order. The court replied that he thought the order had been violated he further thought that Butler was trying to evade ths points, and if be (the court) found any crookedness in tbe testimony, that there was a grand jury to attend to his esse.

Xr. Stimson continued to speak and the court ordered htm to ait down. Mr. Stimson paid no attention to tbe order but kept on talking." "Mr. Stimson, I tell yon to sit down," roared the court In a voice of thunder. "I won't sit down," answered Mr. Stimeon." "The sheriff will put Mr. Stimaon in his chair,*' commanded the^oourt, and two deputies started lor him*" "Don't you dare to touch me,? *rkA Stkneon as ths" sheriffs men ajwoachcd. They seised him and attempted to' pat bitn in his chsir which acUatt Mr. S|i«»n sjsted withall hk bim from the room and' put hipi in the jail" commanded the cour^, Across tho room Mr. Stimson was dragged struggling likes mad man between the two deputies snatching at everything in his way sad doing all that be eonld Jo tho way of resistance. As he was dragged through tbe doer it was jammed hack against tho marble

Mr. Stimson was not taken any further than the sheriff's office when Judge Taylor sent down an order for his release apparently forgetting that he had said while Mr. Stimson was being removed, "We'll see if these attorneys can ride over this cour^rough shod."

The examination then went on with Butler, but nothing of exciting interest was developed* The testimony of all of the other witnesses was substantially the same as Butler's. At the conclusion of the taking of tho testimony the court said: "The court now orders that tbn city police report forthwith to Supeiiatendent Meagher and ordered the sheriff and deputies to go with the officers and arrest and bring back to court any officer who refused to report to Meagher." At this point City Attorney Stimson asked for an appeal and that the amount for an appeal bond be fixed and the court at once replied that no appeal would be allowed, that a shameful state of affairs existed and that the court was bcund that the property ^f Terre Haute should be protected, The court further said that fifteen policemen had appeared and had testified that they were acting without organisation, that the court had the povfer to stop it and proposed to do 60 short off. The fifteen police were held in court until the clerk should make out the order so that the sheriff could go with them and see that they reported.

trouble being an affection of the heart. Though suffering severely she bore pain with a heroic fortitude and was cheerful for the sake of those about her. She had many friends who will mourn her loss and whose tenderest sympathies will go out to her bereaved family.

Died this morning, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. John ClauB, 29 eoutli Thir-teen-and-a-half street., Samuel 15. Paddock, aged thfrty-eight years.

His death was unexpected and itj announcement fell with a

upon his

many friends in this city. He had only been ailing since last Friday and was not confined to his bed until yesterday morning. About 2 o'clock this morning he arose from bed tftui went out in the kitchen for a drink of water. He returned to his bed, complaining of feeling cold and suffering much pain. His death occurred at 8 o'clock.

Sam Paddock had many friends in this city who will regret his death and by none wi his taking off be more earn-, estly regretted than by the members of the city fire department, with whom he has for)years been pnociated in the hazardous work incident ti the fire service. Off and on for nine years be has been employed in various capacities on tbe fire department, and it can be truthfully said that whenever "Bally" Paddock had work to do, whether lo the quiet routine of every-day life in th® engine house or in the face of hot flame and strangling smoke, amid the crash of falling walls and cracking timbers, he never shirked, but patiently, faithfully and manfully went about the performance of his duty, and earned the admiration of bis superiors and fellow-firemen throughout all the department.

Walla Walla, Wash., June 10.—A report has been made to the superior court by the grand jury which investi

fated

tho lynching of A.J. Hunt by Jnitid States soldiers, April 25. It says they found a true bill against only seven enlisted in» n, from the Fourth United State cavalry, though they were satisfied there were a number of others equally guilty apniust whom there was not sufficient evidence to indict. They believe precaution would have prevented the outiuge, and that the sheriff was taken by surprise, but believes the latter should have given a general alarm.

London, June 10.—Denunciation of the prince of Wales in connection with the baccarat case verdict, by newspapers and especially by the tory press, has caused a sensation throughout Great Britain, and it is freely asserted that tho revelations made during the trial did more to imperil monarchy than any event that has occurred in England for many years. Tho assertion is made by the Daily Chronicle that until the Prince of Wales on oath swears, as his confederates did, that he did not violate the solemn pledge he gave to Sir William, he rests under an imputation of dishonor quite as Bhameful as that which the jury put on Sir William Gordon Gumming. This reflects the general feeling on the subject.
