The Commonwealth Starts the Litigation Growing Out of the Bardsley Defalcation. Hannrsnvno, Pa., August &—The common- LOOK FOR OUR ADVERTISE- wealth has fired the first shot in the litigation MENT IN MONDAY MORNING'S growing out of the Bardsley defalcatiot Two suits were entered today, one against the "ON Pas TNC re — ee county of Philadelphia and the other against FOR THE BABIES. John Bardsley, late city treasurer. The — first is to recover personal property tax for 1490, amounting to €622,013.11, W. H HOUGHTON MFG. CO., at AND 120 FS i the second for license tax. amounting to €527.604.18, less credits of 160,000 on account of taxes paid by brewers, brokers and theaters, wholesule and retail liquor dealers since the 228 March, April and May, 1891. Under the construction of the act of June 1. the county is required to pay into the wry the entire amount of personal property tax for 1890, lesa the 1 per cent jssion of the county treasurer. Whe this ix done the auditor general will issue his warrant for $259,997.07 in favor of said tax under section 16 of the act of 1849. On the 30th of last December the auditor general is- sued a warrant of $150,000 as part payment of one-third the amount,and June 13, 1891, there was paid $150,000 on the general account, which was included in the settlement. Attorney General Hensel contends that no de- fense can be made because no exceptions to the statement of account were filed within the re- mired period. When the bondsmen of John Bardsley pay £120,000, the amount of their bond, that will go as credit on his account. L. D. Gilbert of this city is associated coun- sel for Philadelphia in these suite. ‘The state will be represented by the attorney general and the deputy attorney general. WHIPPED HEK TRADUCER.

The ef- fect of the freaty was set forth at length by the various speakers, who declared that it would render Cuba a colony of the United States. The speakers were very energetic in their denunciations of the treaty, and there was great excitement among the audience. The mecting decided to use all the means in its power to secure the revocation of the treaty, and it was also decided to summon a monster meeting of all the people engaged in the Cat- alan trade to protest against it. a DEATH FOR A SOVEREIGN.

The staple crop of | the Rio Grande valley is corn and the Mexican frijole, but the drought has been so terrible | for the last elghteen months that scarcely | anything hs been raised and stock has died by thousands. Many who two years ago | were considered well off have nothing left bet | their lands. Hundreds of laboring men hav left the frontier counties and ure finding work north of the Nueces river. If the drought continues until the cold northers come on there will be but little cattle to live throug | the winter, and many families will suffer for | the necessaries of life.

The House of Mr. John Vinton Dahlgren Entered This Morning. ABURGLAR ALARM CAUSES THE APPEARANCE OF POLICEMEN, WHO ARREST THE THIEVES JUST AS THEY ARE RIFLING THE BUREAUS—A LARGE AMOUNT OF VALUABLES RECOVERED. This morning, a few minntes before 11 o'clock, two expert house thieves broke into the handsome residence of Mr. John Vinton Dahlgren, 1310 16th street. A half an hour later both of them were safely under lock and key at the K street police station. Mr. and Mrs. Dahlgren are away from home just now, and these two men evidently thought it would be a first rate time to clean out the house, so taking advantage of atime in the morning when the house was left unoccupied they broke open a window in the back part of the building. ‘THE BURGLAR ALARM SPRUNG. The house was fitted with a burglar alarm connected with the office of the Mu- tual District Messenger Company and at just 10:59 «3. =m. the alarm sprang and Special Officer Addison at once started for the house. When he reached there five minutes later he dispatched a messenger for assistance while he watched tho house. Officors Maddigan and Hanley, from the K street station, and Special Officers Malloy and Dorsey responded promptly. ‘They entered the house and in thefront room ‘on the second floor found the two men busily engaged in rifling bureaus and closets. THE THIEVES CAUGHT. They were put under arrest and placed in the patrol wagon, which had arrived in tho meantime. They were taken to the police station and searched. The search brought to light jew- oly, ditmonds and. other valuables tos Probable value of £3,000. The articles were taken in charge by Lieut. Guy. Mr. Dahlgren left some fine cigars in his smoking room and the burglars were calmly smoking these and taking their time to the work when they were arrested. At the police station they gave the names of George Knox and John Pierson and claimed to be from Germantown, Pa APPEARANCE OF THE BURGLARS. They are respectable-looking young men and are thought by the police to be strangers in the city. , There wasa large amount of jewelry in the house, much of which they had secured and would uo doubt have gotten away: with had it not been for the burgiar alarm.

Prof. Clifford Richardson, inspector of asphalt and cement, has submitted the. fifth ‘annual report of the workings of his office for the Inst fiscal year. During that time he has examined and reported upon 2,179 samples of cement. The well waters examined during the year, he says, have shown a more favorable proportion of uncontaminated wells than formerly, especially within the city limits. During the year there were examined 67 wells, the water in 48 of which was found passa- ble and 24 were condemned as unfit for use. Last year 71 per cent of the wells exam- ined in the northwest were bad, all in the south- west were bad, two out of three in the northeast were bad and 40 per cent in the sontheast and 70 per cent in the county were condemned, as the water was unfit for use. The good re- sult attained the present year, he says, is no doubt the result of having examined the worst wells in previous years, those remaining being of the better clase. On the subjeet of wells he says: . “After continual experic with this subject I am convinced that it would be desirable to close all the wells in the District, but am also convinced that those Within the city proper are not by any means worse. A perfect system of sewerage pro- tects the city wells better than happens with the country wells, with no sewerage system at all, and frequent outbreaks of typhoid fever in tue outlying districts confirm this belief. As the water supply does not reach many parts of istrict the wells are of course necessary in such portions. They should, however, receive the careful atten- tion of the health officer and should not be per- mitted to be dug or used without a permit ap- proving the locality and its environment. Much sickness might thus be avoided. The high temperature of the aqueduct water, aa I have betore stated, makes it so unpalatable that the city weils are much in demand in sum- mer, and with sufficient reason to make theit closing undesirable us long as it cen with safety be deferred. I believe that where the sewer- age system is in perfect order and no other source of contamination exists many ls may remain indefinitely harmless sources ly.” Prof. Richardson says that heretofore, in a large number of cases, the re- sults collected from his analysis ot drinking water have been misinterpreted and too much weight thrown upon the opinion derived from | the chemical analysis alone without due con- sideration of the other evidence in the case. POTOMAC WATER VECOMING BETTER. He submits blanks which show in detail so that @ person of ordinary intelligence can understand exactly how the water sought to be tested is contaminated. Commenting upon the aqueduct water, he says that since the necessity of feed’ into the mains direvt from the conduits ceased, on the com- pletion of the 48-inch main, an opportunity of sedimentation in the distributing reservoir has been renewed, the character of the Potomac water supply has improved to a marked degree over last y He appends an analysis of’ the water taken from time to time frome tap in the laboratory in his office. ‘The result shows, he says, im- Provement over the water of previous years from the distributing reservoir, and it may be said to compare favorably with the water of other cities. Greater opportunity for sub- sidence would, he says, still further improve its quality. The water, he continues, is remarka- bly free from vegetable growth as compared with northern waters He calls attention to the complaint that hus been received from time to time as to the character of the effluent from the boundary sewer aud he has made analyses from time to time at the request of Capt. Lusk to show the general char- acter of the sewage at this point. The outlet of the sewer, he says, is a pool washed or excavated out of the neighboring gravels aud overflows in the shallow bubbling stream which runs to the Eastern branch, carrying with it the sewerage diluent in the shape of « small stream of pure water coming in from the west a short dis- tance below the pool where these mixed liquids run over # gravely bed a short distance below their junction. ‘The analyses show that the effluent is at no time filthy as compared with average sowers. HYDRAULIC CEMENTS. Speaking of hydraulic cements in connection with the laying of asphalt pavements he says that these cements have been used as a substi- tute for bituminous concrete as a base for pavements, which he thinks is a most desirable and necessary change because where there is the tlightest yielding ef dhe subsoil base at any int the vicious naturs of the bituminous axe is sure to cause it to respond, while it also allows the much too freo access of water to the sugface mixture, and that it is his opinion®that hydraulic base should be ex- clusively used. He thinks the present store- houses ‘are of insufficient capacity aud should be enlarged. During the last year, he says, @nsiderable attention has been paid to the question of residuum oil. The na- ture “and quality ‘of this material ie undoubtedly, after the obtaining of a supply of good asphat,'the most important consideration in connection with the production of a perfect pavement. His report is voluminous and con- taing many scientitic suggestions regarding the proportion and use of asphalts, &c. doandbiedion nessa MOSTLY Several Prisoners Who Were Before Judge Harper's Court Today. Three colored women, Lena Campbell, Re- becca Wilson and Ida Seymour, were in Judge Harper's court this morning for vagrancy. The two first named were arrested in O street alley, which furnishes 80 much business for the court, and Ida was arrested in Union alley. The circumstances attending each case were such that Judge Harper gave them the maxi- mum penalty of the law, bonds or ninety days on the farm. Acolored woman named Lizzié Moore, ar- rested on P street for using bad language, was called and she plead guilty. There was no suggestion that her offense was out of the ordinary run and a fine of $5 was imposed. {ter the case had been disposed of the officer said he had a witness he would like to state the nature of the case to the court. Judge Harper said he was very sorry, but the case had been disposed of. He told the officer that he shonld have called the court's attention to the facts before the case was disposed of. ‘Alvah Ham and Charles Spriggs were given thirty days on the farm for vagrancy. Richard Bates was in the toils for disturbing the quiet of Goat siley, and he was taxed 85. Irene Jackson, Mollie Mereer and Alice an plead guilty to a charge of disorderly and isallar fine was imposed. Se ee SEALERS IN THE BERING SEA, About Seventy There and Half of Them Warned. Commander C. 8. Colton, commanding the United States naval forces in Bering sea, ina report to the Navy Department dated at Ouna- laska, July 7, says: “Tam informed that the sailing feat this tumbered about, seventy vessels, 0 season num| sels, of which about one-half have An Ex-Policeman Fined. boarded and warned.” Isaac Robinson, a colored man who wns ance special policeman, was arrested yesterday on a charge of violating the police regulations. He was in charge of « push cart, and when he stopped on C street northeast near 10th street to cat bis lunch Policeman Hendricks§ came along and notified him that his cart was ob- structing the street. Robinson did not move soon enough and the officer arrested him. WITH THE WHITE SQUADRON. Feel Proud. TRE COMING CRUISE DOWN EAST—NAVAL SEA MANEUVERS THAT WILL BE ATTEMPTED—IX- TEREST SHOWN IN THE CUSHING AND VESU- VIUS—SOCIAL COURTESIES EXTENDED OFFICERS. Correspondence of The Evening Star. New ¥ August 7, 1891. If there is a single American reader of Tux Stan who is not proud of the white squadron then he is not a true American, for as the six new war ships swung at their moorings today in North river they formed # magnificent scene. Last Monday the squadron got under way and escorted the Despatch, with Secretary Tracy on board, from New London to Watch Hill. Then Up went a signal of half a dozen gandy fings to the topsail yard-arm of the Despatch. The Secretary had given the squadron permission to leave the Despatch and proceed to New York. The signal was anawered by the Chi- cago and, with a parting calute, the helms went over and the long line went “to the rear” an stood down the sound for New York. Dow past Fisher's Island, that stands like a sentinel at the entrance, where the recent maneuvers with the New York naval reserves took place: past the entrance to the beautiful harbor of New London, on the Thames, and, keeping close to the Connecticut shore, on past picturesque Niantic and the mouth of the Conuecticuttiver. HOW A TOWN Was NAMED. Here, at the mouth of a beautiful stream, in the middle of the seventeenth century. Lord Say and Lord Brook each decided to found » city to commemorate his name. At slightly different times they visited the place and by some strange chance they both decided on pre- cisoly the same site. When the time approaeued the workmen from both parties arrived and a dispute arose. Neither of the high magnates would “give an inch” for fear that the pro- verbial “mile” might be taken; #0 to end the struggle they called the town Say-Brook, aud to this day the pretty village of Saybrook marks the spot of the strange contest. Another, who da town to be founded through his’ zeal, but less vain, aud not so anxious that it should bear his own name, crossed the river and founded the beautiful town of Lynn, named their broad strecta shaded by grand old elm trees and the stately old colonial homes act back from the highways, these old towns form the most picturesque scenes of New England. The New York Yacut Club was just starting on itsannual cruise and the lower part of the sound was full of the white-winged sloops and schooners and the swift little steamers that make yachting such charming sport. ‘That night, after an easy run of eighty miles, the squadron anchored at Execution Rock, just thirty miles frm New York. ‘The day's run und taken us past New Haven, with its memories of Yule and higher education, past the more modern city of Bridgeport, and the charming summer retreat at Black Hock. Early Tuesday moruing, before the sun had scattered the tog that hung over the headlands and dimmed the ouiline of the Long Island shore, the squadron was under way again. At 10 in’ the morning we passed through Hell Gate and down East river. The bunks of the river were hued with people anxious to get uglimpse of the squadron actually under way; fings on every passing steamer and sailing vessel and on the numer- ous vessels tied at their moorings dipped in sa- lute as each white ship went by. AN OPTICAL DELUSION. The great suspension bridge was then right ahead, and here, standing on the deck of a kigh- masted steamer, may be seen oneof thestrangest optical delusions of which I know. As the ship approaches. the bridge to one looking up at the masts and the bridge it seems that the former are much higher and that they must surely be torn away as the vessel under the huge structure. The feeling that the musts must go grows on one, and it is only when the ship passes under whole and safe that one realizes that there is “plenty ot room at the top” to spare for any vessel whose masts are less than 160 feet high. As the equadron passed the navy yard in Brooklyn, where the Bennington is receiving her finishing touches and the immense battle ship Maine is having her armor placed, the navy yard’s saluting guns boomed out a salute Of veventeen guns to Admiral Walker, who just at present, thoagh the junior admiral of the navy, “has the largest command afloat under our stars and stripes. By 11 the ships were all anchored in North river, the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius at one end of the line and the flag ship Chicago at the other, with the Newark, Boston, Yorktown, Concord and Atlanta be- tween them. The’ “Baby,” as the swift little torpedo bout Cushing is ‘called, hugged close into the Jerrey shore and dropped her di- minutive anchor. A few minutes later the com- manding officers, arrayed in the splendor and gold of dress uniform, left their respective ships and reported on board the flag ship, where the arrangements for the coming cruise’ down cast were made. The squadron will leave New York on the 11th instant for Newport. Kemaining there about a week they will sail for Boston and thence to Bar Harbor, returning to New York about the middle of September. There are no more naval militia on this coastand I think the officers of the squadron are heartily glad of i for the work of drilling new hands is har work at best, and when the drills last trom 9 a. m. till 4 p.m. the work is rather uninviting. ‘There is x grent deal of talk about the squad- ron going to Europe in Uctober, but as yet nothing definite is published. Some repairs will be needed before a foreign cruise is un- dertaken. ‘The Newark’s captain has asked to have the ship taken into dry dock for some re- airs and improvements; the Atlanta’s bottom Every foul, as some new anti-fouling paint re- cently tried has not worked by any means; Yorktown’ electric plant is partially burnt out and the Boston requires some repairs on her engines and pumps. THE SOCIAL SIDE OF THE CRUISE. The social side of the present cruise has been quite pleasant. On Saturday evening the city of New London gave a ball to the officers of the squadron at the third regiment armory in that ty. The building was tastefully decorated anda large crowd was there to receive the naval representatives. At 9:30 Admiral Waiker, at the head of about eighty officers in full dress uniform, marched into the hall and was pre- sented to the mayor of the city and the presi- dent of the chamber of commerce. An orches- tra and a military band “stood watch and watch,” delivering charming dancing music. Huge bowls of fragrant puneh and champagne by the dozen flauked an elegant supper, and the ball was such a complete success that it did not break up till “four bells in the mid wateb,” or at 2a.m. Sunday morning—yet, in the navy, Sunday docs not begin till cight’ bells in the morning. Soas this wasa naval ball no one need feel that his church vows were broken by dancing on Sunday. On Wednesday morning at 11:30 the chamber of commerce gave a break- fast to Admiral Walker and the officers of the squadron. Quite a number of distinguished people besides the naval officers were present and speeches and toast making were the order of the hour. Mayor Hewitt brilliantly re- viewed the course of the squadron and the great good it had done in bringing the nawy prominently before the #0 that they might actually see what is being done in the way of a “new navy” that is so much talked of. ‘he wquadron while steaming from one port to another on her coming cruise “down east” will go through a long list of squadron maneu- vers at sea, and for this p it is divided into two divisions—the C! New- ark and Concord in the first, with the Atlanta and Yorktown in the'second. The Ve- suvius and Cushing are disposed one on each side of the fiag ship and act in the capacity of dispatch veeselt, the high speed allowing them to dart here and there about the fleet, carrying the admiral’ sorders that cannot be ‘sent by signal as quickly as by these dispatch ‘THE CUSHING AND THE VESUVIUS. ‘The wonderful speed of the Cushing thatexcited so much comment after her oficial trial a year ‘ago, is still maintained, and » few days ago her commander; Lieut. C. MeRea Winslow, who is avon of the Capt. Winslow that so gallant Alabama in the BG f I i uel Fa i (3 Hi Ae | f : i é i F Hf t [ : ; ! i 8 after his own home in ‘Merrie England.” With | the squadron throng the decks at all available hours, and those on board are kept busy de- ips That Cause Every True Ameriean to | scribing the guns, engines and every part of the ship. A story is told that a lieutenant on the had to describe the guns of the bat- tery so often that he finally learned a regular routine which he went over, sile-show style, with every visitor that fell t0 his lot Th plan succeeded so well that he soon began to ore noticing what part of the ship be was in, till one day bis graphic description "got and, ahead of the party ersping the —breech-block lever of asix-pounder Hotchkiss rapid fire gun, he got off the graphic description of an eight-inch Fifle, The party were somewhat mystified, but Of course nothing was said by them. Another officer was sitting near, and the joke has not been kept quiet by any’ moans, and at the very moution of visitors the genial lieutenant secks the privacy of hie state room. Some people doubt that the squadron of evolution ie doing much to improve the navy, but there can be no douby that the regularity of the drills, the squadron maneuvers and the handling of so many ships together will ultimately tend to im- Prove the service, both oficers and men. A DECREE AND AN APPEAL Litigation Over One of the Parcels in the City Post Ofice Site. In the case of the property known as Meni- keim’son D between 11th and 12th streets, square $28, condemned as the site for the city post office, Mr. H.jWise Garnett for Chas. C. Dan- canson today prorented « petition to Judge Bradley for an order directing the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to pay into the registry of the court #2,175 for the lease and the balance of the $25,000 to Duncanson as the owner of the feo simple. Mewrs. Cook and Sutherland for Mr. Meni- keim filed a motion to dismiss the petition on the grounds that it was not a proper petition under the rules of the court; that there is no District court in session and the motion is in the nature of intervention, and that under the rules Judge James is the only judge who can act in the case. They also filed a plea to the jurisdiction, claiming that the money must be paid into court, and that the matters involved are such as can only be determined by a suit in equit, and that he has filed a bill in which the same matters are involved. Judge Bradley made a decree in compliance with Mr. Dancanson’s appeal and Messrs. Gock & Sutherland entered an appeal to the ‘erm. _> Fingers Lacerated by a Feed Cutter.
