MOLLUsCA OF MICHIGAN.


The Peninsuiar state One OF the Most
Productive In Moiiusks.
At the last meeting of the K. s. L.
Henry Seymour, late of Honduras,
presented the institute with the skins
of nine species of tropical birds. l.. II.
Streng, chairman OF the committee on
conchology, read an interesting paper
on the mollusca of Michigan. He
stated that Michigan 10 one of the most
productive states in the Union in this
respect. This is largely due 10 its geo.
graphical situation, it being surrounded
on every side by the great lakes and
containing, as it does. 60 many varieties
of soil. There are 275 distinct species
found within the borders of the State,
onc-fourth of which are land mollusks.
and the balance belong in the rivers
and lakes. Mr.. Streng stated that
since Curriers' catalogue Of 1865 was
published he had discovered sixty.five
species not mentioned in that work.
Two new species were found last fall
near the ball park, and there are
doubtless many new species yet to be
discovered. He announced that he
had in preparation a new catalogue
that would soon be ready for publica-
ton.

The condition Of the finances Of this
city IS positively alarming. From .
considerable deficit IN several funds
last July, constant and unchecked
largesses have been made, until today
the taxpayers are confronted with the
st2rtllng fact that there u Al actual
Indebtedness, unprovided for. sggre-
eating sls2,6l427. which immense
sum 10 over, above and beyond the
regular appropriations. and must be
paid by levying additional taxes upon
the people during the year to come.
When the present Democratic sd-
minissratlon went into power it did 80
under the seductive cry that TAXATION
WAS too heavy and . change was de-
manded. The change was made, and
with blare OF trumpets the Demo-
crats took possession OF the city hall
and the management and control OF the
city's finances. Instead Of u change
for the better, the figures on file in the
eomptroller's office show 1t 70 have
been decidedly for the worse.
Iucompetency Of Dsmocrats.
Democrats point with pride to the
matches business sagacity OF the pres
ent administration. and yet this admin
istrauon has legislated an enormous IN
debtedness upon the people without an
attempt 70 check the extravagance un-
der which it was created. The Demo-
crats declare that the city has been hon.
ored by the superb record made by the
present administration, and yet this
sanie administration, after exhausting
the regular appropriations for specific
funds, overdrew the same funds to the
extent OF sls2,el4.27. 1t is not
claimed that the present administration
Is dishonest; but it is claimed that 1t has
permitted deficit to swell from an
amount aggregating si34, 900 last July
TO $751;, 900 at the present time. This is
at the rate of over $1,000 per
week, $500 per day, and
could not have been possible
except by the license OF the council and
the assent of the mayor. Taxpayers
should not be deceived by empty state
ments. When it is claimed that the
present administration has been .
model one; that it mas administered
the affairs of tho city economically;
that it has made great public improve

HORRIBLE BUTCHERY.



His Wife in . Brutal Manner.
JERSEY CRY, April 5.-Edward w.
Halliuger, colored, who, it is said, has
been a preacher and a pugilist, MUIR
dered his wife in . most brutal manner
at an early hour this morning with q
lather's hatchet. Again and again he
sank the weapon into the woman's
skull, and even after the woman was
dead the infuriated brute kept striking
her with the hatchet; and when he
finally desisted the woman's skull was a
crushed and bloody mass. Hallinger
then attempted to kill himself. He had
cut his himself severely in the head,
when the police arrived and disarmed
HIM. The refusal of the woman to live
with him was the reason given by the
murderer for his terrible crime. Hal
linger was drunk.
