" Chicago, Sept. 0. One person was probably fatally and half a dozen slightly injured this morning in the Washington-street tunnel, when a trail er of a cable car jumped the track and crashed against the walls of the tunnel. Mrs. Kersten had a leg crushed off, and (will probably die, of tho city treasurer was first made public Mr. Moir said ho was not sat isfied with tho showing and wanted timo to mnko a further report. Tho report of tho committco showed $1101.04 uncounted for. This finding was fortifiod by figures in tho writing of Mr. Baumgartnor, teller in tho bank whoro Mr. Moir kept tho city funds, showing tho samo fact within $2.11 rule, Balances at End of Vear. April 25, 1004, in roply to request of Mayor Waters, mado to Treasurer Moir, for a statement of balances of city funds on hand January 1, 1004, ho was given figures by tho Lndd & Rush bank, mado out by Baumgartnor, show ing balanco in goneral fund $948.23. That statement was mado after tak ing out fS40.67 which tho treasurer did not claim credit for until his March re port, 1004, which made balanco in gen eral fund $1788.00 on Jnnunry 1, 1904. City Treasurer Moir's report to tho city council of date Decombor 31, 100.1, shows balance in general fund of $477. 70. His March, 1004, report, he says bnlance on hand January 1, 1004, was $1118.20. It is not plain just how much busi ness 14 done in a bank between Decern- st and January 1st, but, as a here is none' whatever. Moir's two reports are continuous, and show no intervening time. In a report of city finances made to the Statesman August 17, 1004, City Treasurer Moir reports cash in gener al fund December 31, 1003, $894.50. This figure does not again agreo with the former figures. As a matter of fact four different sets of figures hne been mado out, nil differing as to what amount of money the city really had. Tho bank's bal ances and Mr. Moir's balances differ on the same datd December 31, and January 1st, as high as $1694.20. Of four tables of figures submitted the first nnd second failed to agreo by $1740.12, the first and third failed to agree by $1090.53, and tho first and fourth by $1094.20. In fact none of the tables agree. If tho balances were to the credit of Mr. Moir, as city treasurer, in the bank, whose monoy Is it) Did it belong to Mr. Moir, as nn indhidual, or does it belong to tho of fice of city treasurer for tho benefit of tho city of Snlcraf striking butchers nnd allied trades new: out favors tho acceptance of tho prop osition and a return to work.

In nddition to the entries and officials there was a small army of golf enthusiasts about the links of the Raltusrol Golf Club, at Summit, N.

Tho presenco of so many onloqkers was ovldonco of tho keen interest taken in this year's competition, nn interest that fans not been equaled since tho sport was introduced in Americn.
