cost $!00, 000 to put up, while Burkhardt
added $90,000 in interior adornment
within the last two years.
Burkhardt said that he could only
give a rough estimate of the value of
the stock in the building and that was
to the best of his belief between S000,
000 and 3700,000.
The east frontage on Fourth street of
the Hooper building was occupied by
Henry Geicrshofer Sc Co., dealers in
clothing and manufacturers. They es
timated their stock at over $400,000.
Probably $12.000 worth of this is un
der tarpaulin on the north side of
Fourth, near Race street thanks to the
energy of the salvage company, the
fire having started in Burkhardt' n es
tablishment at the corner, which
gave time to save soma oi tne gooux
The rest went with the great Good
man building. Gclcrsliofer's loss
will not be less than &r0,000 and they
have that amount of insurance that
their loss will be fully covered. The
loss of the building will not be less
than S250.0O0, and if Mr. Burkhardt's
estimate of his stock in correct, the loss
by this fire will reach $1,500,000.

Philadklthia. Jaly 11.--The aab-
Ittee of the finance committee of
the city council inquiring into the fall
are of the Keystone national bank aad
the affairs of ex-City Treasurer Bards
ley. held a protracted session yesterday
afternoon. The main witnesses were
Robert Mc Wade, city editor of the Pub
lic Ledger; William McKeae. editor la
chief of the same paper, aad Postmaster-General
Waaataaker. The tes
timony of McWade and McKvan had
reference to two statement obtained
by the former from Bardsley on June
18 and 19 fourdar before the accused
citr treasurer made hi public state
ment in court when brought up for
sentence.
McWsde was the first witness. He
said in aniwer to questions that he
went to the countj prison on Thurvlaj,
June 1 and interviewed the impris
oned ex -city treasurer. Bardsley talked
freely and understood that the inter
view was for publication. He tId
Bardsley at the beginning that in view
of certain charges that had been made
in the newspapers he thought it proper
for him to make a full statement par
ticularly as to what had become of tho
$943,000 deposited and which had disap
peared, the charge being made that it
had been stolen.
After Mr. McWade had written out
the first statement he said a consult
tation was held between Mr. McKean.
himself and another member of tho ed
itorial force of the ledger and after
full deliberation and discussion it was
decided not to publish It Ix-cause
strongrofcrence, unsupported by facts,
was made to certain people.
Both interviews were submitted to
the committee, and it was decided by a
vote of five to two to at once listen to
the public reading of the statement
Mr. McWade. being familiar with tho
manuscript was asked to read the pa
pers, which he willingly consented to
do.
Much that Bardsley told McWade
was afterward incorporated in the
statement he read in court when called
up for sentence June -3. and which lias
already been published. In these
Bardsley again went orer the t ry of
the Keystone bank and stoutly main
tained that ho put the $'..U).0O0 in tho
bank, but did not know what became
of it any more than he believed that
iTCsIdent Marsh got it
Bardsley said that Bank Examiner
Drew had been a heavy borrower from
the Keystone bank and was completely
under Lucas' and Marsh's thumbs.
In regard to John Wauamnker Itards
ley said that Marsh told him that ho
knowingly held over-issued shares of
the bank stock and demanded MOO. (MX)
for them and upset the plans for re
organization of the bank. Bardsley ad
vised Marsh to engage counsel and
make a demand on Wnnnmalccr for the
over-issued shares, as he was guilty of
a crime in holding them. Marsh re
tained Mayor Sulzberger and John O.
Johnson as his counsel, and they made
a demand on Wauaiuakcr, which he re
fused. Wanatnaker's proposition was
that
pay
and
ycrs
that
the Lucas estate should
him $50,000, Marsh t'J5,000
the bank $-J5.O00. Tho law
then notified Wanatnaker
if the fraudulent shares
were not delivered to them nt a speci
fied duto they would resort to legal
measures to get them. The shares
were then 'turned over without delay
Mr. Wanamakcr had mado a threat
that he would see Comptroller Lacoy in
Washington and have the bank closed
before they expected it
"In March, 190," said Bardsley,
"Marsh came to me and said Wana
maker wanted $200,000 at once. Marsh
told him that be did not' hare the
amount on hand, and Wanamakcr told
him where he could get it Two days
later. Marsh came to me saying that
Wanamakcr was persistent and must
have the money. I loaned him the
money and Wanamakcr got it"
Bardsley also talked a great deal
about his connection in the past with
several prominent Philadclphians and
blamed them for the stand they had
taken against him. He is accredited
by Mr. McWade with having spoken of
CoL McClure, of the Times, in the fol
lowing terms: "When I was a candi
date for city treasurer I called on CoL
McClure and told him everything in my
past life and said that if he would say
so I would withdraw. He said: to
ahead; the Times will be for yon.' But
he weakened afterwards. You remem
ber the scheme to get the gasworks
from the city? Well. McClure was in
that McClure was to get a big block
of the stock for his advocacy in his
paper and was not to pay a cent for it
McClure was also in a number of other
schemes.
"When I became city treasurer."
Bardsley declared. "Colonel McClure
called on Mayor Fitter and asked for
the appointment of Magistrate Bob
Smith a one of the magistrates to col
lect delinquent mercantile taxes. Mr.
Titler said to me: Bardsler, there is
some money for the magistrates in the
collection of those mercantile taxes,
isn't there? I answered: 'Yes. I have
heard so. 'WelL he continued. "CoL
McClure has been to see me about hav
ing Magistrate Bob Smith appointed as
one oi the fellows.' 'Mr. Mayor.' I
answered, I can not appoint him for
Mr. McClure. I do not want to appoint
that man. anyhow, but if you want
me to do it I'll name him. Mayor
Fitter wanted to oblige CoL McCane
aad said so. Then I agreed to appoint
Major Smith. Not long after that he
seat for me and told me that Bill Siag
erly wanted Richard J Lennoa. a
democrat appoioed mercantile ap
praiser, aad that be had promised to do
what he could for hinv He asked se
to make his promise good. I said I
would vote for Lenooa He was; de

After Siageriy left I learned that Matt

McWade also asked lUnWey if Jadge

rowed money, he answered in a whlspvr
"Flaletter and Ashman, The moaey.
