From the sum total certain credits are to
be deducted, which will reduce the amount
to about $4,000. The bondsmen of the
governor have had expert accountants ex-
amining the book and claim that he ia
entitled 10 additional credits which will
reduce the sum total TO about 0000- The
bondsmen concluded their investigation
weeks ago, but did not see fit to make a re-
port TO the original inyestiga ting committee,
for the reason, it is alleged, that the matter
would in any event go 10 the courts for final
adjudication, and ii was not deemed wise to
''show their hand" at this time. Little
interest is felt here outside of a certain
clique, comprising the friends of Churchill
and the committee. The investigation has
dragged along until public interest died out
in the main object-the amount OF the deficit
and degenerated into a wrapgle between
the partisans of the governor and the friends
of the committee. The Tribune correspondent
is informed that experts could have per-
formed in ninety days the work which
the committee has accomplished only
after a session of nearly fourteen
months, and a cost TO the State of
nearly $4,000. For months past the COM
mittee has been virtually a target, every
newspaper in the State loading it with ridi-
Guile or coarse abuse. The committee COM
prised State Senator Judkins, anti-amend-
ment Democrat; State Senator Mitchell,
amendment Democrat, and Senator Boyd,
Greenbacker, aud the salary of each was Sc
per day, the sum which was paid State legis-
lators. The report will possibly be fled with
the secretary Of state this week; in any event
it will not be withheld long. The general
impression is that there will be much delay
in securing final settlement Of the business.
An old politician said to your correspondent:
81 hardly think Pil live TO sc the matter
settled, though l would be pleased indeed if
my lie would be spared until it is" Gov
ernor Churchill takes the matter very coolly,
and his bondsmen do not seem to be exercised
about it to any great extent.

No More Iionizing Assassins.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Senstor Hswley
offered in the Senate Tuesday morning
resolution instructing the Senate Committee
on the District of Columbia to inquire into
the management of the District Jail, the
treatment of prisoners, and the regulations
regarding the adm Ission of visitors. In ex-
PLANTATION of his resolutions Senator Hawley
said that il was a notorious fact that one
prisoner had lately escaped from the Jail,
and that another was holding daily public
leyees, which were attended by from 100 TO
$50 visitors, and that he was doing thriving
business and making money. He considered
that such action outraged public decency,
and he consequently offered the resolution.
The resolution was adopted without
dissenting vote. 1t was not, however, actually
necessary, az a rule adopted at the
Jail yesterday forbiddiDg any more visitors
to the condemned assassin. 1t was thought
best, however, not to break him off too sud
denly, and few visitors, including a num-
Der of members OF Congress and their con-
siituents from abroad, were admitted to see
him. fewer number were also admitted
TO day, but within day or two the rule will
be rigidly enforced, and the condemned man
will be secluded from the public as much as
possible 1t was at first determined to allow
him TO see visitors until the Supreme Court
of the District OF Columbia should decide
his writ of error, but there has been such
strong condemnation of the action of the
Jail authorities that it was thought best 10
adopt this rule.

The Can ming Industry.

In this country there is no single in
dustry which has shown such q surpriS
ing growth as that of canning, nor is
there one which gives employment to Sc
large a number Of persons for the period
when it is i'll active operation. Com
mencing with fruit it has extended itself
to vegetables, meats, fish. and, in fact, to
almost every article which is used by the
human race for food The amount Of
capital invested in it is enormous from
the fact that the process of itself is sim
pie and nearly every section of the coun-
try, and we might almost say every far
mer or gardener has something that can
be protitably utilized by it. The salmon
of the Columbia and Oregon rivers are
placed OH our tables in condition almost
equal in point OF quality to that noble
fish when Just taken from the water.
Fruits indigenous to particular sections of
the country and which will not bear t,ans
portation long distances. are supplied,
not only to our own people, but those o.
other lands. The great fruit growing

and establishments for the preserving Of
fruits and vegetables by the evaporatinc

Of the articles We have specified are an

ployment to many thousand persons who
would otherwise during the summer and
fall months be compulsorily idle. But this

country these daintily preserved articles

within the reach of persons of moderate

goods is very large, and, like the home
business, is rapidly increasing, all of
which helps to build up the country and
keep the balance of trade in our favor

Invitation.

Strangers are invited to visit
our store, when in Philadel-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. tits a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such Of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts Of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
retreshment of strangers.
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very we'll thatmost
OF you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intrudlng. goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place?
But perhaps you are not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly,, just as well as if you
were on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what,
ever you want, suppose you
drop us a line. Well help
you if we can.

A Batch of Railroad Accidents.

Wednesday last was 4 day unusually
prolific of miShaps ON the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, three
or four break downs and run offs occurring,
all of them however, We are happy to say,
free from loss of life or serious injury TO any
one. The first one reported occurred at
PerryNillr, where the shifting engine in
moving cars back ans. forth upon the num-
erouS tracks upon the piers there, succeeded
in backing two Of them into the river. The
wrecking train was dispatched from Will

and as it passed North East station, trouble

perhaps the most serious accident OF the
day, an engine being badly broken up and
both tracks blocked for several hours. The
subject of the mishap was freight engine
