INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Examination OF AnsiTs An the Once oil 'he
And,,or or Pub,ie Accounts

The House special committee met IN
the Auditors office yesterday. with all
the members prcsent--Messrs. John Is.
Neon tchairman), X. i. Barton, anu
Martin ". Lakewood. They agreed
to send out circular to those clerks OF
courts who have not answered the IN
terrogatories warning them that unless
they promptly comply with the commit
tees request they will be reported TO
the Auditor.
II is the duty of the Auditor to pro-
ceed against all clerks that appear to be
delinquent.
The committee also had under con-
Sideration the matter of diSpOsing Of
the checks now in their hands which
came to them from Mr.. Smith.
The Governor wants these checks
put in one of the State repositories a
a special trust fund for the benefit of
the parties who paid them to Mr.. Smith.
1t is likely that the committee will
have to see the Governor on this sub
ect again.
Mr.. Zirkle. the clerk. and Mr.. Craig.
the accountant of the committee, have
made fine progress in putting in shape
the papers committed into their hands.
and have opened an account with each
clerk based upon answers to interroga-
tories. They would have no difficulty
at all in striking balance with the
clerks as a body if all the answers were
IN.
One of the developments of the M
terrogatorieS is that the clerk Of Orange
is not credited with sj,50O that he has
paid in; paid in mostly in money. From
this sum. however. is to be deducted a
considerable amount of allowances
which have not been paid.
There Is no reason 10 doubt the state
ment. long ago made. that the dcialca-
tion will amount to somewhere about
100000. The exact amount will not
be known. if ever. until after the lands
delinquent for State taxes are sold.
1t is quite certain that many pay
mentS made on account of delinquent
lands have not been credited one the
books of the Auditor and Treasurer,
but when the lands are offered for sale
the parties will produce their receipts,
and the law makes provision for giving
them credit.

During Monday night some one en-

Mr.. Georec \. Wmgfcld. one OF Mr..
John>ton'S clerks. came to the store
about ESQ yesterday morning. AMI
upon entering found a gold pen on tho
floor. This aroused his suspicious. and
nc at once instituted search. He
found that number Of the drawers had
tccn ranSackcd and articles taken
therc-irom. and case of gold pens. a
large quantity of rare COINS, many
valuable articles Of icwelry Including
diamond ring). and Il lot Of bric-a-
brac. had been taken from the show
cases. Among the articles left were the
gold pen found on the iioor and small
toothpick. The things taken were worth
sl.joO.
Two skeleton KEYS. roughly but
strongly made. and some tools evident
" used IN forcing open the showcases,
were found by Sergeant Tomiin>on. who
Is working up the ease.
1t is thought likely that the thief en-
tered the store by the Main-strcet door
using the skeleton keys to unlock 1t.
The transom under one window topcn-
ng into the CELLAR was found open. and
it is regarded a> possible that the thici
passed ont the stolen goods TO an ac-
complcc sitting or standing there. or.
may be. the tranSom was opened a. q
means of escape for the thief should
any one find him at work in the store.
All that he had To do was to run down
stairs from the store to the cellar; but
the tranSom Is too small for a large sized
man to squeeze through.
