LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.

LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES. 'i go f
An unexplained entry of eighty-one
thousand dollars 1881 1,000) for legislative
expenses, whatever light it is viewed in,
must be regarded as an unwarrantable
transaction. So far as the books and
testimony are concerned, it is q matter Of
conjecture to what it relates in its full
extent. The refusal of Mr.. Solomon, by
advice of counsel, to,answer the question
whether it was money expended for brib-
ing members of the General Assembly,
and the discoveries made by the expert
that an erasure occurs opposite each jour
nal entry of Legislative expenses" to-
gether with the startling fact that several
pages of the ledger upon which the ac-
count was entered have been cut out, as
we'll as the inability of the committee to
obtain the deposit book in some way con-
nected with the matter, and the further
fact that the account was changed from
Legislative expenses" to Discount ac-
count" and vice versa, as policy promp-
ted, all show the transaction must have
been bad indeed to have required such
nefarious acts to conceal it. The testl-
mony, also, of Mr.. Solomon and Mr..
Zealy upon this subject is strangely con-
Trajectory and irreconcilable Though
Mr.. Solomon claims his privilege not to
answer whether it was money used for
bribery, yet he admits that the account
relates to claim for S125,000 passed by
the Legislature in November, 1873, and
that most of the money was paid out
contemporaneously with the passage of
the claim, while Mr.. Zealy says that it
had no reference to that claim, but repre-
sented losses of the bank upon State
paper, running through two years, and
was entered as Legislative expenses" in
stead of to the account Of profit and
loss," because the president so directed.
As
ANOTHER MYSTERY
connected with this transaction, it is as
certained that the entire amount of
State claims held by the bank prior to
and for two months succeeding the pass
age of the claim was $51, ,5S6.69, while
the printed schedule of the claims ac-
companying the report of the Senate
finance committee was for $103, ,S65.7l,
and the entire claim passed by the Gen
eral Assembly was for S125,00O; and,
also, that on the 2Sth of February, 1874,
some days after the treasurer began to
make payments on the claims, other
State claims, to the amount of $48, Ats,
were put to the debit of State claims.
What are the exact and entire facts have
not been discovered. Whether there
was au actual expenditure of the extrava-
CANT sum of $S1, 900 on claims of the
bank amounting to Sl25, 1000, or whether
S51, ,586 SO was the real amount owned by
the bank, and the balance of the SlO5,-
S65.71 was owned by other parties, and
that the difference of S21, 1889 repre-
sented interest, are matters beyond the
ascertainment of the committee. But
this subject seems pregnant with mystery,

were quickly cleared, and dozen OF tne
rogues arrested and sent to the Guard
house.
THE PROGRESS OF THE FIRE.
At half-past 5 o'clock the wind in
creased and the fire ragged with renewed
fury. The flames leaped from the corner
of Columbus street to the drug store OF
DR.. A. M. Cohen, distance of about
one hundred yards, while on the west
side of the street building after building
went down. A half hour later the fire
had reached the corner of Line street.
In the meantime the house two doors
from St. Philip street, on the north side
of Line Street, occupied by Mr.. j. An
derson, had caught fire and was rapidly
burning. Up to this time it had been
hoped that the progress Of the confagra-
tion would have been checked, at least at
Shepherd street if not at Line street, but
the cloud of cinders which filled the air
and were carried northward soon dis
PEELED the hope, and the distracted fam
lilies who had moved their furniture into
King and Line streets were driven once
more to "move on" Long before the
fire reached Line street the roof of the
stable and car sheds of the City Railway
Company had been ignited. The horses
and cars were removed up King street
road, and the employees of the company,
aided by the members of the truck COM
panies and other fremen, managed to
fight the fire until the confagration
crossed Line street; then they gave it
up. In few moments the entire block
between Line and Shepherd streets was
wrapped in flames, and the houseless
women and children who had assembled
in the vicinity were again dIiven north
