The auditors books, accounts, vouch-
ers, bills and receipts were found correct
in every respect. The auditors books
show a balance on hand Jan. s of $ll3,-
444.9 5. The difference between the bal
auce shown by the treasurer's and audit
or's books is explained by the fact that a
number of warrants have been issued by
the auditor which have not yet reached
the treasurer, and hat a number OF treas
urer's duplicate receipts have not been re-
turned to the auditor.
OF the amount in the capitol building
fund the committee recommend that
$4,709 Is be turned into the state general
fund. The committee also recommends
the printing OF the auditors and treasur-
er's reports prior to the e~oavening of the

Ever since the robbery of S. c. Smiths

tain how it was that the stolen money
was not found in the possession of either
of the three men. all of them having been

The result shows that the thieves had

MIsFORTUNES OF THE FIELDS.
Reported Prostration of the Millionair
Head of the House.

Reported Prostration of the millionaire
Head of the House
NEW YORK. Nov. 2S, 1891. Following
closely on the sensational disclosures in
connection with the sudden failure
of the well known commission
house of Field, Lindley, Wiechers
& Co., and the insanity of
Edward M. Field, the head of the firm,
comes the startling report that Million
aire Cyrus w. field. the brokers' father,
has been completely Frustrated by the
shock, and his condition is such that his
family despair of his recovery.
When he returned home from Ardsley
Tower, his country house near Dobps
Ferry, yesterday afternoon and learned
of the failure of his sons firm and of his
boys threatened insanity, he Immediate
ly took to his ped. and has not been able
to leave it since.
No one-seems to have anv control over
him except his wife, it is said, and even
she has great difficulty in quoting him
when he becomes excited.
This morning she took him out In a car
riage for drive, and it was said that up
to noon they had not returned. IL was
rumored that he had been taken to an
asylum. This was denied at the house,
however. though it was admitted that his
condition was critical.

year. The appropriation for the main
tenance of the hospital is only $1,000 y
year, and out of this must be paid 5000
salaries for two attendants. Furst
has furnished the place with $4,000 worth
of drvgoods and now how do you sup
pose the hospital can be maintained with
the balance? The hospital cannot use
more than 500 worth of drygoods in six
months. or $500 worth year.
"Then. too. there Is roll of table linen
which Furst gets so cents yard for, and
the contract price for the following year
is but 90 cents yard. A roll Of table
linen is enough for this hospital for sew
eral years. for it is only used by two pris-
oners."
My next interview was with Mr.. Charles
S. Furst, who did not appear to be verv
anxious to enter into details. He said he
furnished goods when he got the
order from the storekeeper. He en-
phaticaly denied that he had
done anv wrong, and said he would pro-
duce letter from Freeholder, If forced
to, that would exonerate him. Having
finished this threat, he said he had
received the orders for the goods that
he supplied last on November 2 from
the store keeper. He said he always sent
more goods than were ordered. but that
the Freeholders could return the surplus
if they did not wish to keep it. He
denied that he and Wolfson were
one and the same in the bid made by
Wolfson and that he did not know Wolf
sons contract prices before he sent the
goods in question to Snake Hill.
