~ State Auditor Ladd has furnished
the ST. Adams Messenger with summa-
ries of the state expenditures for the
fiscal year ending July 81, from which
the Messenger deduces sundry infer
ences, which we give below, with the
summary, as follows:
The total receipts of the state treasury
during the year were S745, G90.l9. This
included 800, 1000 from Rutland county,
on account of the state work house, and
which will of course have to be expend-
ed as the work of building proceeds.
The disbursements We're $50, $685. ,
which leaves cash on hand Sl75 ,006. 80
The disbursements embrace $9l 800 for
the redemption of Vermont bonds of
1876, and $500 paid for bonds of 1873.
Otherwise the receipts and expenditures
are as usual.
In the classification of orders il APP
pears that the years court expenses
were Sol 81 .03. In addition 10 this,
court auditors were paid 81 1928 80; the
supreme court judges Sl7 ,0S3.33; the
states attorneys $3.50; supreme court
reporter, $3.50, and the municipal courts
in Burlington, Rutland and st. Adams,
5000: making a total of SSS OPP SO for
court expenses, TO say nothing of sher-
IFS fees, the amounts paid for the de-
lection and arrest of criminals, and the
expenses of maintaining court houses
and jails, which are borne by the coun-
ties. In some respects this is not too
high, but in others it is a waste OF
money. For instance, we do not think
the supreme court judges are paid too
much, but there is one too many OF
them; his salary ought to be divided
among the others and then they ought
TO be required to abstain from acting as
arbitrators or referees and 10 certify
that they accept no gralnities. But we
doubt the policy of paying salaries to
states attorneys; ii results in an ex'
pense to the state and secures less efiici-
ent service TO the state than proper
system of fees. And as for the munich
pal courts, while that in Burlington does
large business, those in st. Adams and
Rutland are mere sinecures. The state
pays $500 20 each, and the village pays
their Office rent and expenses, while
their trials hardly deserve mention-in.
deed, are almost none at all. The great
item, however, is jury trials of small
private cases in our county courts

n mass meeting ofuncmploycd work
ingmen was held at Union Hall, San

the most incendiary character. The
speakers bitterly invcighed against the
Chinese and proposed that the working

in position to enforce their demands
despite the safety commissioners, police
and militia. An open air meeting is
called for next Sunday, and a street

A Frightfal Railroad Accident.


A terrible railroad collision took
place on the New York Central road,
about mile from Rome, New York
on Friday afternoon of last week. The
Chicago express train, running thirty
miles an hour, was turned by mis-
placed switch upon side track, and
collided with a freight train standing
upon that track. The engines met
head to head, and, as eye-witnesses de-
scribe the sight, seemed to clutch one
another like human wrcstlers, when
both rose upon their rear drivers and
overturned, the wrecks of their tenders,
the mail, baggage, and express cars
shooting over them, scattering to the
right and left. Then from both boilers
came cloud of smoke and steam which
cnvelopcd the ruins. The mail car was
completely demolished, the fragments
being scattered all about. A palace car
had ten feet of its forward end crushed.
The Miller patent couplers on the pal
ace and ordinary cars prevented their
''tclescoping" and undoubtedly saved
the lives and limbs of all their occu-
pants. Many of the freight cars were
smashed. OF the four postal clerks in
the mail car, one, chief clerk Kunnard,
was instantly killed, and the others in
jured, Mr.. Fitch having o leg broken,
Mr.. Roberts and Mr.. Earl receiving
severe bruises of back and abdomen,
and Mr. Sweet, bruise of the arm.
Engineer Wicks, of the express train,
jumped from his engine, after shutting
off and reversing. He was buried in
the wreck, and is quite severely injur-
ed, having his nose broken and face
badly cut and scalded. The fireman,
James Henderson, of Albany, is credit
ed with setting the patent brakes on
the train, and the passengers believe
that he thus saved the lives of many.
He was killed, being terribly scalded
and mangled about the abdomen.
A brakeman, named Durgan, was al
so killed. OF the occupants of the pal
ace car, d. w. Holloway, of Troy, was
severely injured about the head, and
Mrs. W. ii. Buxton, of New York, had
an ankle sprained.
Total casualties, three killed and
eight injured. The switchman, named
Carroll, is reported to have exclaimed
"My God, | have made a mistake y
and then he ran away as rapidly as pos
sible across the fields, and has not beer
seen since.

Arrest of IA Desperate villain.

The man who, Thursday afternoon
murdered an inofiensive inmate of the
Quincy Sailors Home, has been appre
hended as one Michael Murphy, who it
now appears, killed Mr.. Appleton and
subsequently shot Mr.. Albert Lincoln,
in bingham, Thursday. Murphy at
tempted to get into Lincoln's house, and
thereupon he became troublesome, and
while attempting to put him out, Muir
ply shot Lincoln in the fleshy part OF
his arm above the elbow. Mr.. Lincoln
seized him and made an cutlery which
brought two or three neighbors to the
place and together they took the fellow
to the lookup. Murphy was intoxicat-
ed, and on his way to the lookup was
laxative. Several times he boosted
shooting the man at Quincy in the af-
ternoon. lie said also that he went TO
Mr.. Lincoln's house by mistake, think
ing that another person lived there
whom he had grudge against.
In one of the mines of the Crown
Point Iron Company, the other day, an
explosion occurred by which n man
named Burt lost one hand and one eye
and had his skull fractured. Burt had
been deaf and dumb from infancy and
had married deaf mute for wife. lie
survived his injuries, and, curious to re-
late, the accident perfectly restored his
hearing and he is now learning to talk
and making commendable progress.
Were the treatment less heroic, his
wife would undoubtedly undergo IL.
We get this from the treasurer of the
company-a gentleman who, like the
late George Washington. carries little
Ratchet around with him all the time
and consequently cannot tell lie.

A most destructive fire broke out in
the patent office department on Monday,
September "a. The damage done to the
building alone is estimated to be about
half million dollars. In the building,
and Of course injured or destroyed by
the fire, are all the models and patent
records of all kinds. The loss among
these will be incalculable since it can
never be fully restored. 1t is feared
that countless litigation suits will grow
