By the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for MONEY RECEIVED FROM BARDSLEY.
Quite a List of Philadelphia Newspapers Brought into Court.—The North American's Editor Being in Europe Saves it.
Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 16.—The attorney general began suit to-day against the publishers of the Philadelphia Press, Inquirer, News, German Democrat, North American and Evening Bulletin to recover the sums of money alleged to have been paid as rebates to the persons who procured for them the advertisement of the mercantile list. The commonwealth will claim this money was unlawfully paid.
Suit has not been brought against the Philadelphia Telegraph because of the absence of the publisher in Europe. It is probable that the suit against the city of Philadelphia to recover the personal property tax for 1890 collected by Bardsley will be tried in October at a special term of the Dauphin county court.
The Attorney General to-day declined to permit the use of the name of the Commonwealth in a proceeding to compel the East Harrisburg passenger railway of this city to show cause why its charter should not be forfeited for running cars on Sunday.
