One Of the strongest petitions ever got

tial citizens, lawyers and ministers.
Helen p. Clarke, the superintendent ol
the schools here, was vainly instrumental

past she has been daily visitor to Godas
who has taken great liking to her.
When Sheriff Jeffries impaired the news
to Godas, in the presence OF Miss Clarke
and the reporters, he remained perfectly
stoical.
HE WAS UTTERLY INDIFFERENT,
and didn't even express thanks, but said
| it made no difference to him whether he
went to Deer Lodge or to his God, and
continued smoking his pipe. The sheriff is,
perhaps, happier over the news than the
prisoner.
The gallows had been in readiness, the
rope tested, special officers engaged, invita-.

for the s.neck-tie party" in which the
sheriff no doubt was averse to taking one

Their Personal Debts Engage Their Su-

The Board of Fire Commissioners met
at headquarters last night. All the mem
bers were present. Chief Farrier reported
that the total number of alarms for the
week ending April 8, was two, both OF
which were small fires The monthly re-
port to March 81 was read. 1t stated that
the total loss by fire was 50, 700, for which
insurances were in existence, amounting
to $2,5S5; that there were twenty-four
alarms, and seventeen bell alarms.
Chairman Conway said that he had re-
ceived letter purporting to say that one
of the firemen in the Fourth district was
taking advantage of his position in the
department to borrow money The name
was withheld. Commissioner Shea said
that he had received several complaints
about the same thing, and he thought that
the names ought to be published that the
public might know the men. They receive
as much salary as any of the other de-
partments, said he, and that was through
the exertions of the present Board.
Mr. Shea said that man named Burke
borrowed $65 some time ago. and the mat
ter was brought to the notice OF the Board,
who ordered that the money should be re-
paid but up to the present time only S. of
it had been refunded.
Chief Farrier told the chairman that
there was rule that the Board could take
action and compel the men to pay their
debts or risk being taken to task by the
Commissioners Commissioner Shea IS mo-
ton that all the men be compelled to pay
their debts was adopted unanimously The
Board then adjourned for two weeks.

first that the attack would pass away in a

it was impossible for him to resume his

Booth will probably suffer a final attack
that may rob America of her foremost

Terrible Disaster Caused by Prairie Fires

MITCHELL Oak, September A, 1SS9.-The
town of Mount Vernon, twelve miles west
of here, was almost entirely destroyed by
the fire of Tuesday. The fire was driven
into the city by tornado-like wind and
the fire-breaks around the town were of
no avail. The entire business portion of
the town and all dwellings but two,
tors were entirely consumed. Scarcely any
property was saved The buildings
burned so rapidly as to make the approach
to them impossible. The loss will be
100000. 1t is estimated that there were
1900 bushels of wheat in the burned ele-
vators, all of which is a total loss.
The disasters wrought in the vicinity of
Yankton Tuesday night prove to be
greater than thought possible The vii
lage of Violin, near Yankton, was entirely
destroyed ,i9S!,, Except three ls, buildings;

THE STATE DEFICIT.
Admirable Financial Proposals Made by
the Democratic Majority.

Admirable Financial Proposals Made by
the Democratic Majority.
Especial to The Jersey city Netcsl
TRENTON, April 8, 1889. The Republi-
can members of the House, who expected
to be able to get Democratic Legislature
to pay off the debts left by Republican
lawmakers, were somewhat nonplussed at
the attitude of the Democrats today when
the question of providing for the deficit
in the States finances came up
in Committee of the Whole.
Speaker Hudspeth, who had an
nounced that the Democrats might
offer a substitute for Republican Leader
Voorhees, bill imposing State tax on the
people, eontented himself with announc-
ing that he had no bill to offer, and with
reiterating his declaration that he would
never vote for a State tax. The amiable
Colonel Heppenheimer, who had made the
suggestion that If railroads were taxed as
individuals are, the difficulty would be
bridged, was still more easily satisfied; he
only smiled blandly and voted.
Assistant Republican Leader Riker
thought he had solution of the problem.
He is figuring on it tonight and will pre-
sent it tomorrow if he finds the answer to
the sum. In a general way it is under
stood to be a horizontal reduction of State
expenses and appropriations.
1t Is still uncertain whether or not the
Democrats will offer bill on the subject,
but the chances are that they will not.
Their answer to the problem will probably
be found in the motto, Economy and no
State tax" !" 1t is believed that this would
meet the requirements of the situation.
The truth is that the expenses of the State
oil Ncf ,~ts,f1. .lNy 1ar hi ffc
income. OF the deficit of 100000 figured
out by Comptroller Anderson-all of
which is in the shape of unpaid apprOpria-
tions-only 800, GOO is required immedi-
ately, namely, $4,000 for the State
Lunatic Asylum and $4,000 for the Sol
diers' Home. The other appropriations
can go over until next year, when plenty
of money will be available. This is the
argument now advanced in opposition to
any legislation on the subject.
If the States income does not prove
sufficient to pay these appropriations and
the expenses of the State government,
administered economically, money can be
borrowed on short bonds at four per cent.
The credit of the State is good enough for
this. Thus the precedent of an odious
State tax proposed by the Republicans,
and the necessity of raising $3.50, 900 by
taxation viii be avoided.
Mr. Feeney made the House roar this
afternoon during the debate on the
Coroners' bill He sent copy of THE
