Growth of the Debt Of the United
States.

On page 10 Of the American Almanac for 1880
a very reliable work, issued by Little Brown,
of Boston, the publishers Of the revised edition of
the laws Of the United States, we find this table Of
the national debt:
IS45 $I6.Sol,647
1916 24,256,495
ls47 45.659659
IS48 65.S04450
From this it would appear that, between ls4G
and l948, our national debt increased $4l, ,547955.

number of States, including Wm. P Robson. Of
New Jersey. Hon Andrew Stewart addressed
the Convention at length, on Wednesday, and there

trade in the house. Geger yesterday morning
wished the girl to go with him, but she refused,
and he left the place about IL o'clock.
He rode up in one of the East Broadway stag
es, and entered the house. A few minutes az
ter deadly struggle commenced between Marks
and Geiger. Marks was rather small Geiger
is large and muscular, about 30 years of age
both in the prime Of life. One was armed with a
dirk and the other a dirk knife. Both fought
desperately.
A young man named Chase, who was passing
at the time, opened the door, and ON the stairs
met Marks covered with blood; one wrist cut
nearly off; the ligaments of the other arm cut
dreadtully, and numerous deadly stabs on his
body. Marks never spoke, but being laid down,
expired in a few minutes.
On entering the room, Mr.. Chase found Geig-
er in one corner of it, stabbed in several places,
and in the agonies of death, and woman in an.
other corner, with wound in her breast and an
other under her left arm.
Geiger was seen by persons in the back yard
in the act of stabbmg. Whether he himself
was killed by Marks, or whether he stabbed
Marks and the woman and then himself, is not
known. The two men died in few moments
The woman was carried to the hospital, but there
are no hopes of saving her life.
