Of this circuit, ss your Informant seems 10 have

Squared Up.

Squared Up.
We have frequently heretofore had occas
ion to speak Of and commend the promptnes'
of Tbos. B. Cough, the collector OF the second
district, in collecting and settling the claims
that stood agains, him, as his ability in this re
gard has been nnexcelled in the records OF ,he
commissioners Office. During 1886. the hrs'
year of his incumbency OF the Office. Mr.. Cough
met every call promptly, and moreover settled
all orders given against him by the county
commissioners, trustees of the poor and the
school board, and at the expiration OF that
year there WAS but a small balance standing
against him cn these three funds. 10 1887 his
good work was continued even more prompt:
aud he was cemmen ded for his ability and zeal
by all who had business with him. 1t is with
much pleasure that we now record thefact that
Mr.. Cough has settled in full all claims as col.
lector for these two years and holds the receipt
Of the county commissioners absOlving him
from any further responsibility or obligation
as collector Of taxes. Mr.. Cough adjusted bis
accounts with The clerk of the commissioners
on Monday. He produced every receipt and
order, showing The disposition Of the public
money, and these covered bis entire indebted.
ness for the two years with the exception OF
the small sum of 1928 "a. This amount be
paid on that day. thus squaring bis accounts
in full and releasing himself and his bond from
any and all obligation as receiver Of public
monies. When it is remembered that Mr..
Cough collected and handled during these two
years upwards of $40, 600 it is an enviabl.
record tn Il he has, within the short space OF
three years, rendered a just and accurate &C
count Of every penny Of hi. sum. He eanno,
be too highly commended for bis zeal and hon
esty, and he leaves his office with a record Of
which he should feel justly proud and one to
pardonnble pride, as Mr.. Cough was one of the
6rst officers to be appointed after We secured
control in 1885, and we believe We can say
without contradiction, the very 6rst to show a
Mr.. Coughs papers are now iu the hands OF
the clerk, and any one who desires to see how
al honest and efficient Democrat conducts bust
ness in handling such large amount Of public
money can be accommodated by calling on
that official. In this connection it may be par.
donable in rs to stale that in the adjustment
on Monday Mr.. Coughs accounts, in the full
sum, Tailed with those of the clerk With only
n discrepancy Of SO cents in Mr.. Cough favor.
In transaction of over 500. 900 this is not
bad showing. To other collectors and ex-col-
lectors We would say, go thou and do like
wise.

Reported Drowning.


A story of serious disaster was told in
Washington on Friday last by Geo. Marks, a
sailor from Baltimore. who applied to the f1ood
relief commiit.e for help. He was on the
schooner Five Brothers, of Baltimore, loaded
with coal for Washington. While opposite
Lower Cedar Point the alarm was given that
the vessel was rapidly sinking, and the entire
crew, consisting Of eight men, sprang into the
water. Marks states that only five men came
ashore, and thinks that the Others were
drowned, as be had seen nothing of them since.
Marks stated that the current was ruHning very
swiftly at the time the boat went Down, and
he thinks that the accident was caused by Il
floating log carried alonx by the current. The
captain and Marks are in Washington seeing
about getting the schooner up.

A SAD ACCIDENT.-On Monday last
Max Trisko, in the employ of Geo. N.
Pangburn, met with a terrible accident
which rendered him a cripple for life.
While engaged in applying soap to the
main belt to prevent its slipping, his hand
was drawn in between the belt and the
pulley in such a 1nanner that he was
thrown head foremost over the pulley
frame and his right hand was so entang-
led that it could not be released until it
was torn in shreds by a broken edge OF
the pulley. The injuries sustained by the
fall were not serious but the mangled
hand had to be amputated about four
inches above the wrist. Mr.. Trisko is an
active and industrious young man and
the loss of hand is a very serious mat
ter.
