MILLIONS IN THE TREASURY.
More Money in Pennsylvania's Geners
Fund Than Ever Before.

More Money in Pennsylvania's General
Fund Than Ever Before.
HARRISBURG, Dec. 1.-[Special. State
Treasurer Boyer's monthly report, issued
to-day, shows s5,72O.721 so in the general
fund, as against 1888, III 80 last month.
This is probably the greatest amount ever
in the general fund of this State, and would
have been larger had not the expenses OF
the extraordinary session of the Senate,
amounting to nearly $50, 900, been paid dur
ing the month. The bill for printing the
proceedings of the extra session, which
were very voluminous, has not yet been
rendered, but will undoubtedly amount to
several thousand dollars.
The cash in the sinking fund has been
reduced during the month from $780,
537 IS to 81, ,259, 1913 IS, the difference, $751;
414, having been expended in purchasing
the bonds due next February. Notwith-
standing that the State agrees to pay the
interest on the bonds until February next,
only one-half have been presented for liqui-
dation. About 81, 5OO,00 is still outstand-
ing. This is considered evidence that money
is easy for this time of year. 1t is expected
that the need of money to meet January
settlements will bring the bonds in faster
this month. The gross debt of the State is
now about S10,OOO,OOO, the net or actual
debt being $4,000, 900, decrease of 81, 144,-
515 81 since May last.

A NATIONAL LEPER HOSPITAL
Recommended in the Report of the Mari
Hospital Surgeon General.

Recommended in the Report of the Marine Q
Hospital Surgeon General
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 1.-Walter Wy
man, Supervising Surgeon General Of the
Marine Hospital Service, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Treasury, states
that 52,992 sailors were treated in the
various marine hospitals and dispensaries
of the service during the fiscal year 1891
One thousand three hundred and thirty
three snrfmen and keepers, of the Life-Sav-
ing Service, were examined physically, of
which number SO were rejected for disease
or disability; 1852 pilots were examined
for blindness of which 90 were rejected.
Two hundred and forty-three seamen were
examined as prerequisite to their enlist
ment in the Revenue Marine Service and 3S
rejected.
The Surgeon General calls attention to
the prevalence of leprosy, particularly in
the neighborhood of the West Indies and
South America, and to the presence of the
disease in various cities and localities of the
United States, and states that cases may be
allowed to exist undisturbed in some locali-
ties by the, health authorities because no
provision is made for their segration.
Whatever theories may be advanced regard
ing the contagiousness of the disease, there
is no doubt that where Indifference is mani
tested as to isolation it slowly spreads, and
as no State possesses leper hospital, the
establishment of national leper hospital is
recommended

LIKELY TO GET A DIVORCE.
Report of the Commissioner in the Famous
Guerrero Case.

Guerrero Case.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Ii SPECIAL. +
The divorce suit of Mrs. Henrietta A.
Guerrero, nee Potter, of this city, Is now
before Judges Fell and Pennypacker, the
master of the case, Effingham B. Morris,
having made his report to the Court recon-
mending that the Judges grant the decree
asked for. A rule for final decree to de-
clare the divorce absolute, taken out by
Carroll R. Williams, counsel for Mrs.
Guerrero, will be heard by the Judges of
Common Pleas Court No. Monday next.
Mrs. Guerrero is the daughter of Henry
c. Potter, well-known coffee importer of
this city, who is also Consul for Nicaragua
at this port. She was born and reared in
the famous old Joseph Bonaparte mansion,
where her fathers family have lived ever
since King Joseph left its famous frescoed
walls to take up his residence at Borden
town. 1t was here that she met young
Guerrero in 1879. Guerrero was the son of
a wealthy Spanish planter of pure Hidalgo
blood. Like many others of the young
aristocrats sent here from Central America,
he was under the care of Consul Potter,
though none of them were ever inmates of
his house. Mr.. Guerrero is now the wealthy
owner of a large coffee plantation near
Grenada The ground of the divorce is
Guerrero's relations with Amelia Palma,
WHOM, it is alleged, he has maintained for
wears.

sT0DDARD STILL IN BUSINESS.
A Celebrated Forger Whose Fertile Brain.
Work Cannot Be Repressed.

NEW YORK, Dec. L-[SpeciaL when
Detective Morris, of Jersey City, captured
the now celebrated forger, Ed ward L. Stod-
dard, and he was subsequently taken to the
Jail in that city, it was supposed that Stod-
dard would be obliged to suspend business
for time. He is still carrying on business
1t is believed that Stoddard is the author of
the letters sent out in the name of Winnie
Davis, Jefferson Davis daughter, with the
intention of swindling General Beauregard
and other men in the South.
A week or two ago Stoddard sent two let
tiers to DemopoTis, Ala, under cover to
some friend there, who mailed them to
New York. The forged letters were ad-
dressed, one to DR.. William NJ Polk, and
the other to his sister, Mrs. H. L. Deas The
name OF c. B. Whitfield, wealthy planter
in Demopolis, was signed to each letter,
and each contained check for 81, 800 with
Nj. Whitfeld's name attached. In each
case the recipient was asked to give the
forger this money for the sake of an old
friend who wanted to reform the Young
man. Mr.. Whitfield was communicated
with, and the attempted deception became
apparent. Stoddard himself wrote to the
New York parties advising them as to the
way in which to bring the money.

FISH CULTURE IN CANADA.
Most Satisfactory Results of the Seasons
Operations Up North

Most Satisfactory Results OF the Seasons
Operations Up North.
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Dec. /. - Fish
culture has now reached a most important
stage in Canada, and every year millions of
eggs are gathered from the haunts of the
various fish and artifcially Matched in
Government breeding houses In the fail
of the year the collectors go out to the
spawning boats and carefully gather the ova
which have been deposited there. The ova
are placed in cans specially prepared and
conveyed to the hatchery, where they are
placed in the hatchery troughs. The FISH
breeding operations are nearly over for the
season ana the returns received by Mr.. Will
mot, Government Superintendent of Hatch
cries, are stated to be very satisfactory.
The officers at many of the stations have
made their returns for last season.
At the hatchery at St. Johns river, n.
B., 1000, 900 salmon ova have been collected,
at Gaspe hatchery 100000, at Miramashi
hatchery ], ,20O 900, while the collecting Is
still going on at the Tadousac, Bedford and
sydney hatcheries, on the Atlantic. Fraser
river hatchery leads the list on the Pacific
lected. AT Newcastle, the par
ent house, an immense number
of salmon-trout eggs have been col
lected and the officers are still engaged
IN collecting more. As usual, Ottawa will
be supplied from Newcastle Speckled
trout eggs will be imported and hatched out
in various places Of these the supply
never equals the demand, it apparently be-
ing impossible to obtain sufficient of these
delightful fish. The Importance of artificial
Matching can be gathered by the one fact
that by placing 1000, 600 salmon yearly in
the Sacramento River, California, the
catch there has been increased from
5000, 900 to 10, OO0O, 900 pounds annually.

Government Dispatches Flatly Contradict
Rumors of Trouble in the South.
LONDON, Dec 1.-The advices from
Brazil regarding the situation in Rio Grande
do Sui are of such an extremely conflicting
character that it is impossible to conceive
the true situation there. A dispatch was
received here from the Brazilian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, stating that Immediately
on the restoration of the legal Government
of the State after the opposition of the
Dictator, Da Fonseca, the insurgents laid
down their arms. The Foreign Minister'S
dispatch further saws that Senior Ferdinand
Lobo, who was sent to the State of Rio
Grande do Sui as representative of the
Government has been satisfactorily re-
ceived by the people.
The dispatch Goes not agree with the
statement telegraphed yesterday that the
people of Rio GranGe do Sui had refused to
obey the orders sent from Rio Janeiro. in
structing the authorities to restore Govern
nor Castilhos to office; that the National
Guard had been modified, that the great
est excitement prevailed and that serious
outcome was looked for. Brazilian dis
patches are evidently colored by the wishes
of the senders

sawteIle Confesses to Fratricide.

CONCORD, n. H., Dec. 1.-Counsel for
Isaac Sawtelle went to the State prison this
morning and obtained short affidavit from
Isaac, covering the details of the murder OF
his brother Hiram. They and the prison
officers decline to furnish the document for
publication, but it is known that in it the
prisoner confesses to killing his brother
with pistol. He says he did it alone and
unaided, and that the crime was committed
in the State of Maine,. where there is no
capital punishment. The papers in the
case were submitted to Judge Chase, of the
Supreme Court, this morning, and he at
once transferred them to the full bench for
action.

MANY PASSENGERS IN PERIL.
An Express Train Crashes Into a Local on
the New York Central.

TARRYTowN, n. Y, Dec. 1.-At Z
o'clock tonight the Chicago express came
along at full speed, and before the engineer
could stop the train it crashed into q Gro.
tor local train standing on the track in
front Of tine station of the New York Cen.
tral at this place. Fortunately no one of
the many passengers was seriously hurt.
The cars of the local train, consisting of
two passenger coaches and a compartment
car, were telescoped and the locomotives
were badly wrecked. The passengers in
the local train were warned and had barely
time to get out Of the cars when the crash
came.
1t is said that the local was behind time,
but a system of block signals which were in
operation along the road should have pre-
vented the accident. The engineer of the
express said that he did not see the tail
lights of the local until it was too late to
reverse the engine. The wrecked locomo-
tives and cars were piled up in front of the
depot for several hours. The total damage
Will amount to $50, 1000.

Where Candidates for the NAVY Fail.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin his annual
report to the Secretary of the Navy, Com
modore Ramsey, Chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, deyotes much attention to the
Naval Academy. He saws large number
of candidates for admission to the Naval
Academy fail to pass the required mental
examination. IT is believed that this is
chiefly due to want of proper instruction
and of time for preparation
