There was considerable discussion as to th ? immo of the organization. The question of allowing the stock to be assessed each year for the next four years brought forth a lively discussion , but It was dually de cided that too many people might be f light ered away from the scheme by the possl blllty of future assessments , and that provi sion was not Inserted In the articles of In corporation.

FACTS DISCLOSED BY THE CASH BOOK HxncrtN MfiiMfjIStilrloM Miulc ! > > ' < hc AcciiNCil unit Clu-eUii S that the Muiu-y WIIH Tiikcu nnil Ant Aucouiilcil Vor. After many postponements the preliminary htntlng ot Jr omo Coulter was nguln taken up before Judge Ucrkn yesterday at 2 p. m. The first wlin ss called to the stand was J. W. Fead , a clerk In the city treasurer's omce , who had been employed there i-lncf January 5 , 1S02. Ho stated that during Je rome Coulter's period of offlcp ! u had worked In the accounting department ut thu treas urer's ofllC5 anil that It hod been hla duty to cherk up each day the cash book with all vouchers paid. Ho had 'also usually for warded tli ( ( balance on th ? cash book left at night to the alternate book the next morning. Mr. Fead described many'of the details used In the sjotem of bookkeeping employed In the tr asurcr's odlcc und stated that the system had not been nt fault , but that the defalcation had bojn tnado posclble by lack of checking or Inspection of books used by the treasurer and' his deputy by proper ofllc'rs. Taking- the entries of the amounts which composed the sum stolen , charged In the first count dated August 3 , 3S93 , for $600 , Attorney Day requested Fead to Identify each balance forwarded. The following cn- trlts were Identified as having been written by Coulter nboul the tlmo ot the dates nl- leged In the Information : DETAILS OF Tim SHORTAGE. August 3 , shortage charged , ? 500 ; balances carried forward by Coi'lttr on August 3 , 7 , 8 , 9 and 10 ; September 7 , shortage ? 500 ; balances ent red by Coulter on September 7 , S and 9 ; October 7 , shortage JMO ; balances forwarded by Coulter on 7 and 9 ; Dccjmber 11 , shortage1 , $500 ; bilances forwarded on 11 and 12 ; August 20 , tsDi , BIIUItiut ! , ? 200 , l > i > liiice forwuiui'O by Coulter on the 20th and 21st ; Sept mbsr 17 , shortage , J2.000 ; balance forwarded by Coulter on same date ; October 9 , shortage , $2,000 ; balances for warded by Coulter October 0 , 10 , 11 and 12. There was also another shortage of $3,000 on the llth of October Included In this p - rlod. November 7 , shortage , $200 ; balances forwarded by Coulter on November 7 nnd S ; November 22 , shortage , $2,000 ; balances for warded by Coulter on November 22 nnd 23 ; December IS , shortage , $3,000 ; balances for warded by Coulter on December IS nnd 19 ; December 21 , shortage , $2,000 ; balances for warded on the 21st and 22d ; Jan uary 18 , 1895 , shortage charged , $2,500 ; balances forwarded on the 18th and lUth by Coulter. The deputy made the figures In the next case and Henry Bolln headed ths page of the day's busln = ss In ths- cash booS1 on the 23d and 21th of January , on which djts It Is alleged that $2COO was taken from the city treasury. March 20 , shortage , $1,000 ; balances forwarded by Coulter on the 2Gth and 27th ; March 29 , shortage * 500 ; balances forwarded by Coulter on tUfr 29th and 30th. Tlis last shortage charged Is May 1C , 1SU5 , for $200 , at which time Coulter forwarded the balances In the cash book on the IGth and 17th. All of the above amounts repre sent chp < ; ks drawn on the Merchants United StPtes , Nebraska , Omaha , National Dankof , Commerc' and Union Nntioiwl banks of Omaha. The checks were made- payable to cash , or cash for drawer , and In every In stance were drawn by Coulter signing his chief's name first and his own bjneath it. The amounts aggregated $25,400. Fdad said that ho had never chocked up the other books In the office , and had only worked on the cash books. He stated tlfat but three persons liadIm < l the actual handling of the cash paid In ovcr-tlio counter and had entered the Items on the cash book. They were Coulter , Bolln and Harry-Counsman. Ho stated that he had sometimes seen Holln receive cash at the window while-Coul ter entered tha amount on the book , but would not swear that it went Into the drawer , for the receptacle was beyond his line of vision. Coulter had always apparently at tended strictly to business , and also had Dolln , during his first term , but during the second term Holln had spent but llttlo time In the ofllco and seemed otherwise engaged. During Mr. flolln's term of ofllco Mr Wcuthrick had had charge of the bank ac counts nnd liolln and Coulter had held a consultation each dny to determine which bank should receive the deposit. Fead had had nothing to do with the Issuing of the chocks , and knew little about the manner of drawing them. DIFFICULT TO TRACE THE CHECKS. Mr. Wettllng , one of the experts now workIng - Ing on the treasurer's books , next took the stand. He Identified the checks signed by Coulter on the dates already given , and said that ho had traced them back on the stubs of check books , but with the exception of a check Issued Augdst 9 , 1S93 , for $1,000 , ot which $500 had been accounted for , a check Issued on September 7 , for $5,000 , cf which $4COO had been accounted for , and an other Issued October 7 , for $1,000 , of which $500 had been accounted for , there was ab solutely no trace whatever of. what had be- CIMIIO of the subsequent amounts taken. There also had been a wide disparity of dates on' the checks and the stubs , but the amounts In every cnso had agreed. Mr. WettlliiK said that all checks Issued by liolln had been traced up and acknowl edged by him , but those signed by Coulter yet remained an 'entlro mystery , and there was absolutely no trace whatever of them on the books. Mr. AVettllug tald that aa an expert accountant lie had been called upon once before to look over the books'kept by Holln and Coulter at the expiration of their first term In ofllce. Tliero had been a shortage In the cash re ceipts at that time and Wettllng had le none ono of a party , composed of Messrs. Wise. Lauor , Drexel and Ilathbun , when a demand had been mudo on Dolln to explain the de ficiency. He had made none , and nothing at the tlmo had been sold In regard to Coul ter's connection with the defalcation. Mr. Wettllng stated that the balances each day forwarded by Coulter were correct , but that the amounts checked out and charged to cash could be traced only on the cash book and Hint no vouchers could be found for the money expended. The witness fin ished by saying that all four of the account ants now at work on the books had gone over the ledgers in evidence , and that the figures ns submitted were positively cor rect. John Wise , another ono of the experts no-v employed by the city to unravel the treasury tangle , was next called , and cor roborated the statements madct.by Wettllng. Court then adjourned until 2 p. m. today. Do not go traveling without a tiottln of Salvation Oil , It cured a bruise at-once. 25c. Tlicri ! Are Two CIIINNPH.

"Charley's Aunt , " vrlth her cat nnd oilier accessories , opened a short engagement last night at Hoyd's. The piece has not chan d since It was presented hero a few wetkB ago , and the companyla substantially the same ns then. IJoth .hnvo apparently re tained their ability ta please , at least to pleasa that kind of.ceoiilo ( and It Is n very numerous kind ) , who nro plcaseJ with that kind of a thing. In view of this fact , nny references to another kind ot nut , which does not grow In ttrazll , would be obviously cut of place , even In contxtlon : with so very familiar an entertainment. When th4 popularity ot glee club singing has so often be-en made the excuse for Inflict ing some very bad music on a patient public It Is refreshing to listen to a glee club concert which lus merit cf Its own nslda from the drafting qualities of the college program. Such nn entertainment was given nt St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church last night by the Oberlln College Glee club , and the n.imbcrs were enthusiastically received by an audlcnco which filled nearly every Mat In the large auditorium. The colleg ? boys pre sented n chorus exctp'lioiully well balanced and which , contrary til the general condition of slmllir organizations , was incll supplied with tenors. Their program was well chosen nnd was singularly free from the selections which have been so often sung as to be wearisome- . Nearly c\ery number was en cored and they were tven obliged to respond a second time when tlry gave th lr melody cf barnynrcl : 'mltatlcrs nnd the bull frog chorus. TJVmolan- popular nnd planta tion mElo4/s wns'VIso received with de monstrative approval and tils' s61o numbers of Mr. Leonard and Mr. Patterson farea equally well. The violin solos cf Miss Lottie Dcmtith were among the features of the entertain ment. Miss Dcmuth Is only 15 , but In her solo numbert she * displayed a technique anil a delicacy of bowing that would have been prpilltalilo > < > mast > r of the Instrument. Her flr"tf"elTort was tbi ) adagio , from Q minor ooncertbxby Uruch , ind In rcspans ? to n hearty Viicore she played a romanca by Svenson. Her last mtiubcr was a ballade and polonaise by Vleuxtemps , which she ren dered with singular trace anJ finish. Mr. W. K.

The third piano recital'of the- pupils of Miss Minnie Lovl toil , placent the Unitarian church In Kountze Mflco last night. A pro gram ot ten selections was rendered. Some of the tots who performed showed wonderful proficiency conslderlnr their age , and gave a promise of fine resMis in mature years.
