In THE local columns of the
HERALD today is given very careful
analysis OF the financial condition of the
county as represented by the deposits in
the various banks, the cash on hand,
percentage OF deposits held, loans and
clearances. While since January, 1888,
the deposits have fallen somewhat, or
even since a year ago the same fact is
observable, there is not much shrinkage
in the amount of cash on hand
The banks have nearly $1,000
600 LEES out in loans than they had
d year and half ago. 1t shows that the
people are rapidly getting their affairs
into an easy shape. Indeed, they have
30 done. Money is much easier then il
was year ago. 1t is getting easier
every day. 1t will become cheaper with
each passing month, and as money be-
comes cheaper realty will advance in
value.

SUsQUEHANNA, Pa, July ia violent

PLATTsBURG, N Y, July ia terrific

FooTINGs of the City Assessors books
show that the property of the city is
valued at $44 600, 900. This is rise of
about S., 900, 900, or l21a per cent. over
the assessment of last year. The new
Charter fixes the rate OF taxation at one
in the hundred as maximum. Last
year the city procured by direct taxation
about $5O0,000. The fiscal year is but
half completed, yet many of the funds are
already depleted. The idea was this year
on dollar rate limit to assess the prop
erty at $50, 1000, 900; but the best laid
plans in this case have taken the same
crooked course as those of Bob
bic Burns mouse in the wheat
stubble. The present Council is
not gifted with financial ability nor
trained to economy in public affairs. Less
than a round half million dollars will
force them to do some closer figuring for
the next year than they were able to
reach in the past one. A little matter OF
$4,000 would not greatly incommode
men of affairs; but when men do not
develop an aptitude for running concern
on plethoric purse, what will they do
on one not 30 bursting out at all the

JOHNSTOWN PROTESTS.
Mismanagement In the Distribu.
ton of the Relief Find.

JoHNsTowN, July 13.-A large mass
meeting of citizens was held this after
noon to protest against the manner in
which the relief fund is being distributed.
Burgess Norrell in a speech, said the peo.
pie of the valley should themselves have
the disbursement of the contributions, as
the State Commission had shown no
capacity for work, urging that the relief
fund be as speedily as possible distri-
buted in money directly to the people to
whose benefit it was donated, and that
all purchases, contracts and expenses to
cease. A resolution adopted states
tnat If the assertion imputed
to Governor Beaver that million
and q half dollars had already been ex-
pended in Johnstown and vicinity, has
any foundation in fact, it is the strongest
possible argument that the funds have
not been wisely distributed. Only by
gross extravaganza and carelessness
could such sum have been
used, and the people have received no
adequate return. The disbursement OF
the fund directly will provide for build
ers and will make trade for merchants,
will stimulate business, restore conf
dence in the community and thus di.
rectly and indirectly help those for whom
the fund was intended. The resolution
closed with an appeal to the custodians
OF the funds at Philadelphia, New York,
Pittsburg and other localities, to transmit
the funds in their hands intended for the
Conemaugh Valley sufferers, direct to
the local financial committee, 10 be
distributed in cash on the requisition OF
a board of inquiry. An additional reso-
luton was passed requesting the State
Commission to furnish an itemized state
ment Of their expenditures to date.

MEMPHIS, July 13.-Charles Writ, COL
ored, was hanged today at Somerville,
Fayette county, Tenn, for the murder of
Eveline Hester, on the oath of December
last. The scaffold was erected in creek
bottom, near town, which, owing to
heavy rains, was nearly foot deep in
water; yet the crowd stood in the water
for hours, and pressed so close that q
military company with fixed bayonets
was employed to keep them back.
Thomas Jefferson, colored, was hanged
this afternoon. His neck was not broken,
and he strangled to death in eighteen
minutes. His crime was the murder of
William Ragland, colored, October 29,
1888. Jealousy was the cause.

waters out through canals. The lower
