The Girard Trust.

The annual statement of the Girard
trust is published in accordance with
Girard's will. The capital of the resi-
duary fund is given at $l0,549,9l7,
which is about 5000, 900 more than the
figures given last year, showing that
the estate itself has not suffered diminu-
ton. and the gross receipts, $3.50, 229,
are but $40, 900 less than in 1884. The
gross ieceipts are about eight and one
fourth per cent. of the capital. Of this
total, $2l7.G77 was expended in the
maintenance of the estate, more than
one-half Of which was paid in taxes.
After deducting taxes and the cost of
improvements, repairs and maintenance
there remained net income of about
three quarters of a million, or between
six and seven per cent. upon the entire
capital. Out of this, S420,2l9 was de-
voted 10 the support of Girard College,
and some two hundred thousand rein-
vested. There are now |, l27 boys in the
college. 1t is questionable whether the
number can wisely be extended very
much further. The trustees have been
doing what is better than this; they
have been extending the educational
facilities of the college so as to provide
a wider and more practical training for
boys, especially in manual industry,
The average expenditure for each pupil
last year was 1872 SO, which includes
not only board and lodging as we'll as
instruction, but clothing aud all other
necessary expenses upon a simple but
generous scale. There is probably no
institution of its kind in the world with
a more satisfactory record in every way
than that of Girard College.-Philadel-
phia Ti~es.

Morrison Interviewed,

ST.. LOUIS. November 5.-A Waterloo
special to the Globe Democrat says: Col.
William R. Morrison tonight, in response
to inquiries as to the cause IF his defeat,
says Jarret, tin-plate emissary OF Penn
sylvania and other protectiOnlsts profess
ing to represent the Knights OF Labor and
other labor interests, were in the district
ten or more days just before the election,
hiring and bribing such as could be hired
and bribed, and continued to consolidate
in Bakers interest most OF the labor ele-
ment in proof of which hiring and bribins
have Jarrett's letters. While this was
going on Baker was declaring for a pure
ballot. Mr.. Hewitt's interview as tele-
sra phed to the Post Despatch, falsely rep
resenting me as standing i'll the way OF
tariff reductions facilitated Jarret's mis-
sion OF bribery in The interest OF the Pro-
tectionsts, but it is all right, If the blood
of the martyrs is still the seed OF the
church.
To the question whether the result was
a surprise, Col. Morrison said: | recog-
nized the Influences that were at work as
went through the district. | received a
great deal OF informal ton as to what was
going on, but what surprised me was the
soldity with which the element that de.
feated me was handled this time. Hereto.
fore have had my share OF the labor vote
of the district. This time it was handled
as have indicated. Col. Morrison does
not entertain the idea that the cause o.
tariff reform has received IL setback by
reason OF his defeat or that OF Mr. Hurd OF
Carlisle's close call. To the question if the
result would bear that Interpretation he
replied, "Oh, no; not at all. Our cause is
growing right along. We hare lost &c
strength.
To the inquiry whether any sentiment
antagonistic toward the administration
had any bearing OH the result, Col. Nor
rison said: NO, think not; these art
hard times. yet there is some feeling thai
the change OF administration had not beer
followed by that effect on business and by
such revival OF good times as was antici
| nated.o

INDIANAPOLIS, November 5.-The Repub.
lican State Central Committee has official
returns from 80 of the 90 counties in the
State, which show a Republican net. gain
on the vote OF 1884 Of 1854. Estimating
the counties ON the basis OF 1884, gives the
Republicans plurality for the State
ticket of 3,142. Therc is no further change
in he legislative situation. The commit
tees OF both parties insist on their respect
i've claims, the Republicans claiming IS
members and the Democrats 80. The
legislature consists of 100 members OF the
House and so Senators, and Senator Har-
rison's seat at Washington is the prize to
be contested for.
The Democrats have the legislature by
two majority on joint ballot. According
to the latest advices the figures are: SEN
ate Democrats 81, Republicans 10.
House Democrats 45, Republicans 55.
The returns on the State ticket are not
yet in from all the counties, but the figures
of last night will not be changed materi-
ally. The Republican plurality will be
about 1000.
Complete returns have been received from
all the counties in the State save one, and
one unofficial, and they give Robertson,

Court Matters.

HELENA, November 5.-The United
States Grand Jury OF the United States
District Court brought in the final report
to-day and were dischared. No bill was
found against Thompson, the soldier forger
on account of the failure Of the United
States to produce witnesses who are most
ly in the army and could not appear.
Thompson forged the discharge papers of
soldier named Louis Stroh, whom he i'm
personated and attempted to obtain back
pay. He was arrested through Major
Eckles, the paymaster here, when the bogus
documents were presented. In the Terri
torial court there are 800 cases on the cal
endar not counting criminal actions which
will occupy the major part OF the session
as there are about thirty OF them. In con-
sequence OF so many civil cases probably
ninety will be laid over to the next term.

PIrTsBURG, November 5.-Peter Kenny,
employed as telegraph operator at 1ngra-
ham ON the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St.
Louis Railroad, had an adventure at an
early hour this morning that he will not
soon forget. He was engaged at his instru-
ment when he heard q noise as ii some one
was trying to open the door, but thought
nothing OF it, not even looking up from his
work until he was startled by touch on
his coat sleeve. He turned partly around
and to his horror saw tall gaunt figure,
dressed in white. with long knife in his
hand, standing directly over him. He clear

was between him and the door and he began

The spectre did not attempt to follow
him except to prevent his escape by the
door. AS the ghastly creature made no
advance the operator in q measure recov-
cred his self-possession and stood in the
defensive in the farthest corner of the
room. The apparition then seated itself
in Kenny's chair before the telegraph in
struments, keeping a close watch on the
movements OF the operator. They
retained the same relative positions

Kills Frenchmsn. on Birch
Creek Near Dillon.
DILLON, November A terrible tragedy
was enacted on Birch Creek, eighteen miles
north of Dillon yesterday at 10 a. m. N.
Axe and neighbor named Norris have had
q misunderstanding about some land OF
which Plubert Meson had lease from
Norris. At the time mentioned Meson went
to Axes ranch and as he told a nejghbor,
Axe took u shot at him him with a shot
gun, tearing his cap to pieces, but doing
him no bodily injury. Meson jumped from
his seat, and in the course OF the fight Axe
says Meson cut him several times with a
butcher knife, making number OF holes IN
his clothes but not inticting any deep
wounds. Meson then left the place and
started for the creek. H. j. Schenck, an
employee of Axe, who was in the stable
came to the house as soon as
he could and started another man
after Meson, with instructions to tell the
neighbors to arrest him for killing Axe,
whom he found lying on the floor insensi-
BILE. Oscar Willis and Fred Hopt took
Meson into custody, and started for Dill
lon, going by way of Axes ranch, where
they stopped for the purpose OF ascertain
ing the condition OF the injured man,
which they found to be not serious. Me-
son went to the house with them to get
pair of gloves, and after short stay OF q
few moments Willis started for the buggy,
and Meson followed him. just as he
reached the door Schenek grabbed the
same gun which Axe had discharged at
Meson, and raising it to his shoulder,
fired a load OF buckshot into Meson's
back, producing instant death. The Wild
est rumors OF murder and the lynching OF
the slayer reached this place, and your cor
respondent accompanied Coroner Pickman
to the scene OF the tragedy, and at the in
quest the above facts were brought out.
Schenck to-day waived his examination,
and Probate Judge Mead held him in
81, 900 bond, to await the action OF the
Grand Jury. Meson was Frenchman,
about 80 years OF age, and was unmarried,
while his slayer was IL mere boy OF u
