Leaving an estimated balance in
the Treasury, on the 18th Of No
yember, 1867, Of S32S,287 05.
From the foregoing statement it
it wilappear that the burdens Of the
people for the current year will be
nearly s3, 600, 900 less than in the past
year. ~
The expenditures for county, town
and other local purposes, which do
not pass through the State Treasury,
form by far the greater part Of the
total taxation of the people. Thus
the total amount collected on the tax
duplicate for the past year is $780,
$40, 1928 7a, out Of which only a little
more than five millions enters the
State Treasury, the remainder being
disbursed within the counties where
collected.

On Thursday of last week man and
woman who had the appearance of be-
ing husband and wife, took passage from
this city on the Pittsburg and Fort
Wayne 3:l5 train, ostensibly for Clark
Station, bnt went on to Valparaiso,
Ind. where they took room at the
fremont House. In the same car, dur
ing the trip was man who
had somewhat the appearance of
q detective, and who watched
the aforementioned couple pretty
closely. No sooner were the latter
snugly ensconced in their room at the
hotel than the detective" entered, ap-
parently in great rage, with revol-
yer in his hand, claiming that the wo-
man was his wife, and demanded salts
faction for the unwarrantable intimacy.
The "frail sister" confirmed this decla-
ration, the entrapped victim was terri.
bly, frightened, and the result Of the
matter was that he delivered his watch
and all the money he had with him to
the exasperated husband" who,
With his pretended "wife," soon
d;sappeared from the town, leaving
tbeif fleeced victim to find out at his
leisure that the woman was a profession
al ovarian, the "husbandP q thorough
bred confidence man," and the whole
affair piece of eoolly-planned viiiainy
to rob their dupe Of his valuables.
No arrests have as yet been made
and it is likely the matter will be hush,
ed, as the "victim" is already satisfied
with the notoriety he has acquired

AnIntcresting Decision.

In New York Court few days ago,
MARGARET AMBROSE, tenant, recover
ed of her landlord $1,000 for damages
sustained by falling through stoop Of
defendants house. The Judge in his
charge to the jury remarked that there
were two facts for their consideration.
The first was whether the plaintiff was
entirely free from fault; because, If she
knew that the stoop was i'll n danger
ous and unsafe condition and yet went
on it, then she was guilty of negligence
and could not recover. She might,
However, have known that it was out
of order, but yet not have known that
it was unsafe, and then her going Oh it
would not be negligence on her part.
But if the evidence showed that she
kew il to be unsafe, then the verdict
should he for the defendant. The other
was, whether there was neglect on the
part of the defendant to keep the house
in reasonable order and repair; and if
the defendant neglected to do so and
there was no negligence on the part of
the plaintiff, then the verdict should
be for plaintiff.

Gosd Citizen Gene.

1t is with unfeigned regret that we
announce this morning, the decease OF
Mr. JACOB BERGER, an old and respected
citizen of Wheeling. His death, which
happened on yesterday afternoon, found
him in the midst of usefulness and hon.
or. He had lived to receive, as he had
merited, the universal esteem of friends
and neighbors, and the many sad hearts
that mourn his loss, find no cause for
grief in the spotless purity of his life.
His dignity was that Of true manhood;
his nobility was that Of native goodness.
His was
"a life that moved to gracious ends,
Through troops Of unrecording friends"
At the time Of his death Mr.. BERaRR
had reached the age of fifty-one years.

Peuu.yIvania Railroads.

The annual report of the Auditor
General of Pennsylvania, in reference
10 the railroads of the State shows that,
Notwithstanding the comparative dull
ness of business during the last year,
these great lines of communication
have done very well. Those upon
which steam is used have had profit
of twenty nine millions of dollars and
over. beyond their expenses, which is
fully eleven per cent. on their cost.
They have carried during the year near
ly seventeen and thee quarter millions
Of passengers. OF this large number,
thirteen were killed by accident or neg
ligence, and sixty-six injured. To the
employees of railroad companies the
danger is much greater. One hundred
and iifty-six of them were killed dur
1ng the year, being a heavy percentage
upon the whole number of per-
SOUS in the service of those
companies, and two hundred and
sixty-seven were injured. The general
public, who neither ride upon railroads
nor are employed by the companies
owning them, suffered severely. One
hundred and sixty of such persons,
classed in the report as "others," were
killed, and one hundred and eighty in
jurrd. These are the cases of persons
Iun down while walking upon the
track, or caught in vehicles at railroad
crossings, and of those suffering from
other disasters. There were carried upon
the Pennsylvania railroads during the
last year over four hundred and ninety
millions of tons of freight. The num-
her of miles in extent is four thousand
four hundred and thirty-sevon, so that
the average of freight per mile
was nearly one hundred and ten
thousand tons. The passenger rail-
ways present better return. IN
comparison, than the larger roads. Over
only one hundred and eighty mine and
a half miles of roads, they carried more
than thirty-seven millions four hun
dred thousand passengers. Their profits
were nearly million of dollars, which
is twenty per cent. on the cost. On
these roads, thirty-two were "killed OF
iniured.n

horrible murder was perpetrated at Boon

tense excitement is manifested throughout the
State in consequence. A young man named
that place on Saturday evening, in dying con-
dition from loss of blood Young Carroll was
only twenty-one years OF age. shortly AFTER
he died from the result of a stab which he mad
received. Before dying he said that one John
Dempsey was the perpetrator of the deed, and

another close and another struggle. Backwards

the stranger was driven into the side of the

found, senseless on the sidewalk. Carroll in-
