Itocelvcrs Ilcreshclm and Murphy of tho
Offlccr & Puscy bank Mod In tho district
court yesterday an answer to tho application
of J. J. Stewart and J. J. Hess, icprescnt
Ing a largo number of creditors of the bank,
for permission to employ an expert to make
on Investigation of tho books, accounts and
assets of tho defunct banking Institution.
They wcro not opposed to tho examination
as asked for under certain conditions, but
oro opposed to tho expense, of such ex
amination being paid out of tho assets of
tho bank.
They say they do not know, and cannot
now conceive of "any Investigation In de
tail" of tho books, paper and assets of said
bank, "and which theso receivers nro not
under any legal duty or obligation to per
form," (as alleged In said application),
which will bo for tho protection of or bene
fit to tho creditors of the bank, and they
nllogo that they aro now, and havo been
nt all times, willing to give tho creditors
of the bank all tnfonnatlon sought by them,
Nvlthln their knowledge as to tho condition
and affairs of tho bank.
They Bald that they Interpose no objec
tion to the appointment by tho court of a
reliablo and competent expert in bank
bookkeeping to exumlno tho books, papers
and assets of tho bank as tho same aro
In tholr possession, provided, however, that
such books, papers and assets aro ordered
to remain and contlnuo In tho possession
and custody of tho receivers, in tho place,
whero they aro now, and provided that bucU
examination shall bo mado In tho presence)
of tho rocelvors, or one of them, and In
such a way as not to Interfere with or Im
pede the receivers In tho dlschargo of their
duties and the dispatch of tho business com
mitted to them, and that such examina
tion Is mado nt reasonable and seasonablo
hours, and without cxpenso to the receivers
or to the estate.
Object to the Kxpenac.
On their own behalf and that of tho
creditors not represented In the application
of J. J. Stowart and others for an exam
ination of tho books, etc., tho receivers
state that they most earnestly protest
against tho making by tho court of an or
der providing that tho expenses of tho pro
posed examination shall bo paid out of
tho assets of the estate nnd thus fall in the
greater part on a largo majority of tho
creditors of the hank who aro not seeking
nny such examination, for tho reason It
would bo unjust to such creditors nnd that
such examination would not result In any
pecuniary benefit to any of tho creditors
and would be tho incurring of useless nnd
unnecessary expense to tho estate,- to the
diminution of tho' funds' for tho payment
of tho creditors and for tho further rea
son that such examination Is not In tho
Interest of such an economical administra
tion Of tho winding up of tho affairs of
tho bank as Is dictated by Its condition nnd
the rights, Interests and claims of nil tho
creditors.
Judge Green has not yet sot a dato for
hearing tho nppllcntlon, but Is expected to
do so,at an early day after tho Thanks
giving holidays.
Attorneys J. J. Stowart and J. J. Hess.
who filed tho application on behalf of a
argo number of depositors In tho batik,
say that whllo they do not expect tho ex
amination of the books as asked for will
result In any pocunlary benefit to tho cred
itors, they expect It will rovcal where
much of tho money deposited by the cred
itors of the bank wont. It Is possible, they
say, that such an examination may bring
to light further assets of tho late banking
nrm.

Fred W. Conmey, tho smallnoj. Datlent nt
tho Woman's Christian Association hospi
tal, was not removed to tho pest houso out
side tho city limits yesterday ns certain
legal formalities had to bo gone through
first, such as filing an Information and so
curing an order of court for tho patient's
removni. 'ino necessary steps wcro taken
by City Solicitor Wadsworth yesterday In
tho superior court nnd Judgo Aylesworth
Issued tho order for Conmey's removal, Tho
pest houso was fitted up nnd mado habltal
csterday under tho dlroctlon of Alderman
Hammer, chairman of tho committco on city
property. John Deem was stationed as sno-
clal watchman at tho pest houso last nlcht
as tho city authorities had been warned
tuat farmers living In tho vicinity of tho
building had threatened to burn It down.
It was also reported that threats had been
mado to enjoin tho city from removing Con
moy from tho hospital to tho pest houso. Up
to last nignt, however, no such action had
beeu taken.
In addition to tho hospital tho residence
of W. S. Marr nt S29 Sixth avenuo has been
placed In quarantlno. This action wbb
taken by tho authorities yesterday ns sev
eral of tho hospltnl nurses roomed nt tho
Marr house, which Is Just across tho street

trup during tho night. In tho event of Con
mey being removed to the pest houso today
the quarantine upon tho hospital will be
lifted at tho expiration of fourteen days.
Tho quarantine on tho Marr resldenco will
bo raised In fourteen days In nny case.
Coumey's case, It Is said, will bring up
again the question of the liability of tho
county for nil the expenses Incurred In con
nection with tho quarantine. At tho tlmo
of tho Youngs caso. at 2759 Broadway In
February, 1899, tho county refused to pay
tho expenses of tho special wntchtnnn cm
ployed by tho city to enforco the quarantlno
regulations on the grounds that It was po
llco duty nnd tho cxpenso should bo borno
by tho city. Tho question was taken Into
court and Judge Smith ruled In favor of
tho county. Tho city authorities contend
tho ruling was contrary to the Implied
meaning of tho law, nnd tho satno question
may bo tested In tho courts again this
time. City Solicitor Wodsworth expressed
himself yesterday ns being In favor of test
ing tho question ngnln.
Tho Hoard of Health held a short Besslon

TA.T FUllllHT CONTRACT Ul AGAIN,
Ilonrtl of Supervisor Infortitfillr Dli
eiixn the Sltiintlon.
Tho county's contract with F. M. Cun
ningham, tho tax ferret, was brought up
nt yesterday's session of tho Hoard of
Supervisors by Mcmbor Matthews, who said
ho believed tho board ought to place Itself
on record In tho matter nt tho present bcs
slon. Member Matthews wanted to know If tho
board Intended to nbldo by the contract In
tho faco of tho opinion rendered by County
Attorney Klllpnck to tho effect that ho be
lieved that tho courts would uphold tho
law, as Its evident Intention was to nullify
contracts which wcro contrary to public
policy.
Mcmbor Aulds sahH "Well, what can wo
do? Wo entered Into tho contract beforo
tho law was enacted and I do not sco how
wo can get out of It. Let them go ahead
and enjoin us, ns I understand will bo dono
anyhow, and thnt will bring tho matter to
a focus."
Member nrandes said: "For ono I do
not want to pny tho 50 per cent nnd wo
will not If wo can got out of It anyway,
that's sure."
As the matter was not brought up until
Just as tho board was thinking of adjourn
ing for tho dny, no action was tnken aifd
further consideration was postponed un
til today.
County Attorney Klllpack submitted his
opinions ns requested In tho matter of
ltoad Supervisor Cook of Garner township,
who at tho last session wno reported to
havo refused to keep In repair county roads
on which work had been dono by tho board.
His opinion Is to tho effect that n road
supervisor Is under the same obligation
under tho law to keep In passablo condition
n road on which tho county authorities
havo dono work ns ono on which such work
has not been done. As far' as Hoad Super
visor Cook Is concerned, he has set himself
right with the hoard nnd has explained
that ho was misrepresented, but a long In
formal discussion among tho members of
the board developed tho fact that In sev
oral parts of tho county tho township road
supervisors nro up In arms against tho
board doing tho work on tho county roads.
Theso township supervisors Insist that if
any monoy Is to bo spent on roads In their
respective districts they nro the proper
persons to expend tho money and hnvo tho
work dono under their superintendence.
Tho consensus of opinion of tho members
of tho board wns It should test Its rlchfs
and powers In this matter with n viow to
onrorcing them desplto tho opposition of
tho township supervisors. No action was
taken, as tho discussion was onlv an in.
formal ono.

of Incessant rain, a flood uuprecedented for
this season of tho year aud quite unexpected
In Its fury swept down tho Monongahcla
and Allegheny rivers last night. In their
mad rush tho waters ruined hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of proporty,
caured tho loss of at least thrco lives, tem
porarily threw out of employment thou
sands of workmen by tho forced suspension
of tho mnny industrial establishments lin
ing tho banks ot both streams, and ren
dered hundieds of families homeless.
Tho fatalities aio!

removing goods from his home.
JOSEPH DAVIS, mill worker, drowned.
JOSEPH FLOCKER, mill worker,
drowned by tho capsizing of a skiff In tho
Allegheny.
A November flood Is qulto common, but
It rarely reaches tho danger line, and for
thlB roasou tho steady rains of tho past
fow days caused no alarm. Tho precipita
tion had been heavier than usual in the
mountains nt tho head waters of both
rlvors, however, and It was not tiitll Into
yesterday that tho warning waa sont out
that both streams wcro getting beyond their
banks nnd that there was a dangerous Hood
threatened. Tho result was tho fast ris
ing waters caught many wholly unprepared
nud much valuablo property that was tied
up for only a modcrnto stngo was carried
away. Tho danger lino Is twenty-four feet
and this was passed about 3 o'clock this
morning, nud for seven hours, at 11 a. jn.

Both rivers nro now stationary and It Is
thought that tho worst Is over and beforo
nightfall the waters will bo receding.
Tho lowlands In Pittsburg, Allegheny, South
Shnrpsburg and McKccBport nro Inundated
and nearly every plant on tho two rivers
has been forced to shut down. Hundreds
of families In theso districts hnvo either
been driven from their homes or are living
In tho upper floors nnd using skiffs. Thero
wero many narrow escapes from drowning
during tho night and soveral men nro ro
ported to tho pollco as missing, but only
thrco fatalities aro known.
Davis and Flocker with three compan
ions attempted to row across tho Allegheny
in a skiff, which becamo unmanageable and
collided with a coal boat. The men wcro
thrown Into the river nnd Davis nnd
Flocker drowned. Tho others clung to tho
upturned boat nnd wcro rescued after being
carried two miles down tho river.
At Novlllo Island tho four-span railroad
brldgo In course of construction wns swept
away during tho night. It was being
erected for tho American Steel & Wire com
pany and was also used for passenger traffic
