ing committee which is inquiring into the
conduct Of the auditor generals Office and
the state treasurer Captain Skinner offered
a preamble and resolution setting forth
that the state was annually losing about
$4,000 in the advertising and collection Of
mercantile taxes in Philadelphia and other
large sums by the retention OF fees by the
city treasurer and register Of wills Of Phil
adelphia, and requesting the governor 20
consider the expediency Of converting both
branches Of the legislature in order that
the laws relative to the advertising OF
mercantile lists may be repealed and legis-
iation enacted abolishing the fee system.
The resolution was defeated by strict
party vote,
Treasurer Boyer Testifies.
Auditor General McCamant's examine
ton was concluded early in the evening
session, but nothing new was ELECTED.
Treasurer Boyer was then called. He ex.
planned that he paid the school warrants
of 1920 900 to Bardsley in December, 1890,
for the year 1891, six months before they
were due, because he wished TO keep the
money out of the sinking fund Had ii
gone there, he said, there was danger that
there would not be enough money IN the
general fund TO meet all the appropria-
tions Of the Legislative about to meet.

TREASURER wooDEUEF's CASE.
A Witness Found Making Changes in His
Books.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 3l.--Sev-
eral important witnesses were exam
ined in the Woodruff case today. w.
c. McCully, boollkeaper in the
auditors office, was placed on the
stand. Yesterday one of his books
was accepted as evidence, but it de-
veloped that at noon yesterday he
made fourteen entries on the page con-
tanning the sinking fund with the
treasurer. The defense made strong
fight to induce the court to
rule out the book as evidence.
McCully explained that he
made the changes for the purpose of
making clearer the account, and it
did not in any way affect the balances.
The court ruled that the book as it
appeared before the changes would be
admissible as evidence.
Governor Eagle was recalled and
testified as to the quantity and char
acter of the scrip received and dis
posed Of by the treasurer in 1889.
Some Of this was interest bearing
scrip, very little of which was can
celed during that year.
Jerry G. South, a member Of the
joint investigating committee Of the
late legislature, testified as to the
manner in which the committee in
vestigated the auditors and treasur-
er's books. He said the auditor pro-
cured his information concerning the
redemption of bonds from the treas
urer, and that his books failed to show
how or when such bonds were re-
deemed. He told of repeated de-
mands made upon Woodruff for the
balance of funds in his possession,
and it was only after he had an
nounced his intention of making
partial report to the legislature upon
the condition of the treasury that he
was requested to postpone such action
for a day, and that on the following
day $G4, 900 was paid over by Wood
ruff to his successor.
Before South had concluded his evil
dence the court adjourned until Mon
day morning.

Base Bel Matters.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 31.-If current re-
ports are true, Chris Won der Abe will
have to sign a new outfit for his asso-
citation club here next season. 1t is
stated that all the players Of the
Browns, including Capt. Comiskey,
have revolted and will join the
league clubs. While these rumors
cannot be traced to any authentic
source, color is given the statement by
The fact that McCarty and StivCtts
have signed Boston league contracts
and that Capt. Comiskey and V on Ger
Abe are not ON frinndly terms.

GALVESTON, Oct. 3l.-A word was
received here yesterday that G.. H.
Corsant, real estate agent and specu-
lator of this city, was in Jail in Column
bia, Tenn, in default of bond Of So GOO.
1t will be remembered that Corsant
was arrested here about a month ago
on an eXtradiction warrant, charging
him with having obtained possession
of q valuable tract Of land in this
county from heirs in Tennessee under
false representations. Corsant re-
sisted the warrant by habeas corpus
proceedings and an effort was made
to get Governor Hogg to withdraw
his warrant. This, however, not sue
ceeding, Corsant left last Saturday
and surrendered himself to the Tenn
essee authorities. On receipt of the
| telegram Judge Stewart dismissed
'e habeas corpus proceedings and
we'd Corsant's bOndsmen here.
