THE CONTROLLERS REPORT.

Councils Again Urged to Provide Against
INSTRUMENTATION tho Debt Is Being
Reduoed-There Is Money Enough to
Meet Maturing Bonds.
The annual report of Controller Morrow
was presented In Common Council by Mr..
Magee, and motion to have 500 copies
printed passed both branches. The Con-
troller devotes considerable space to sug-
gesting improvements in handling the city
finances Among others, one to prevent
annual deficiencies in appropriations, as
stated in yesterdays DISPATCH.
He directs attention to the purchase of
nearly $500, 900 worth of city bonds
during the wear, and addition of s., 600, 600
to the sinking fund investments in the past
four years, which he regards as safe from
any possible loss. He calls attention to the
fact that 1895, 800 of bonds will be due next
spring, and says the appropriate sinking
funds will be able to redeem them If Coun-
cils will authorize him to make transfer of
funds. He also asks authority to extend all
investments in any of the sinking funds at
rate of per cent, which, he says, would re-
lieve disbursements to that extent and per-
NIT the application of the cash balances to
redemption of bonds held by private SUBJ
ScrlDeIS.
Unless the appropriations for water loan
sinking are increased, he says the fund will
not redeem all the water bonds due six
years hence, and the extension of all such
bonds will obviate the use of that much cash
and the necessity of refunding the bonds.
He then follows with a detailed state
ment of moneys received during the past
fiscal year, the total being IS, 234, s03 81.
The detailed statement of balances in the
sinking funds shows a total of $362. .9O6 II.
City bonds purchased during the year for
investment by sinking funds amounted to
SS62, 403 Y, and the total purchased since
1888 is 81, ,576, AIS 81. The investments
held by sinking funds show a total of
g, 961, ,1S7 40. The total bonded debt is
S13, 2O4, 401 81, on which the average rate of
interest is 5.21. Then follows q review of
the city's bonded debt and detailed state
ment Of the years revenues, as printed in
this paper yesterday.

PARIS, April ia pastoral letter
from the archbishop and bishops Of tho
Province OF Mines was read in tho
churches in that province to-day. Re.
ferring to tho pope's recent encyclical,
the pastoral says: "Somo good Catholics
wore shocked 10 find His Holiness on.
joining the faithful to accept tho repub.
lie. Tho attitude Of tho Holy See sololy
implied respect for and difference to tho
powers that be. Tho pope expressly
declares that respect shall DO observed
only as long rs required by tho cxigen-
cics OF the commonwealth. Tho duty OF
submission ceases when tho right to
command it ceases. All that tho pope
requires is that the people shall not be-
como rebels aud conspirators, prepared
10 engage in instruction.
Regarding tho concert, the pastoral
says: ut is the duty OF Catholics to
speak, write and act against laws that
strike at the beliefs and interests OF tho
faith. They will most effectively fulfill
this duty by electing men who respect
religion"
In regard to education, tho pastoral
declares that religion has been sup.
pressed, and that practical atheism has
taken its place, destroying faith and
morality. n

Ono Sweet Letter Tint Never Came to an
Indianapolis Mnn.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, April 1.-THE
mail carrier on the Fletcher avenue route
found some one had set fire to letters
inside one OF the street boxes, and sew
eral letters were SO badly charrcd that
the addresses could scarcely be de-
ciphcrcd. One letter was nearly con-
sumed, 60 much SO that only the sigma.
ture OF the writer, young lady, re.
mained.
Yesterday came, the remarkable story
that tins young lady had two suitors for
her hand, one OF whom demanded an
answe: to q proposal OF marriage by
last evening, else to-day would find him
on the way to the far west. The lady
waited until the last moment, then
wrote an acceptance.
Meanwhile knowledge OF her proposal
came to tho ears OF the other suit0r,
and surmising that shc would mail the
reply-in tho nearest street box, he os-
tablished surveillance over that
special territory. Ills vigilance being
rewarded, and knowing that his rival
was prepared to omigrate If the letter
never came, he stuffed paper into the
box and set it on fire. 1t is now stated
that his ruse was successful, his hated
rival starting westward to-day.
The postal authorities attributed the
fire to mischieyous boys until this story
came to their knowledge. They re-
fuso to disclose the identity OF tho par
tiesuntil investigation has demonstrated
the truth or falsity OF the story as told.

GRAFTON, W. Va, April 17.-Thc first
speech in the campaign Of tho year was
made hero yesterday BY Congressman
Jerry Simpson, OF Kansas. The Rcpub-
licans had mass meeting at tho court
house for tho purpose of appointing
delegates to tho NIarlinsburg and
Keyser conventions, at o'clock, and at
2:30 tendored tho court house to the
managers OF the Farmers Alliance for
their meeting, but they Ind secured tho
opera house and hold their meeting
there. John r. Thayer, president OF
the Alliance, introduced tho speaker,
Mr.. Simpson, to an audience OF about
two hundred, the greater number Of
them being Republicans who attended
the eRepublican meeting first. Thespcak.
ers address lasted about two hours.
lie is 4 very different looking man
from tho idea OF him ono would derive
from the papers. His speech, which he
claimed in his opening would be non.
partisan, soon developed into 4 regular
Democratic overflow and abuse OF tho
Republican party.
Claiming to be the leader OF national
Alliance, he expounded the Alliance
doctrine to be-
Eirst-The free and unlimited coinage
second-Absolutc free trade with tho
world.
Third-Govcrnment control OF rail.
ways, telegraph lines and shipping.
His doctrines werc not woll received,
and tho almost unanimous remark from
his hearers was that he was IN cx-
tremist and offered no practical methods
oil good government. Attic time OF his
closing but hall OF his audience re-
mained. the other having driited out.
1t is safe to say that he made no con.
rerts.
That he was sent here on the day OF
the Republican meeting, coupled with
the fact that Congressman Bryan, the
Democratic leader OF the house, is to
follow him on April 80, and that there.
after We arc to have regular Democratic
educators until and following the open
ing OF the campaign, has given Repub.
licans to understand that they will have
fight on their hands, and that the
Democraticmanagers by active work will
make great effort to reduce. the Re-
publican majority in Taylor this fall.

THE BARNABY CASE

VIII DO Agnin Brought into Prominence
To.duy-Dr Graves Counscrs Bricf.
DENVER, COL, April 1.-THE cele-
brated Barnaby case will be brought in
to prominence in the early portion OF
the coming week when Judge Furman,
counsel for DR.. Thatcher Graves, will
file his brief with the supreme court,
giving grounds for asking n new trial.
In this document Judge Furman first
refers to the seventh instruction by
Judge Rising, in which the jury were
instructed that it did not require rea-
sonable doubt to render verdict OF
guilty. A similar case is referred to,
which the supreme court reversed on
the ground that the metaphors was in
accurate and liable to misconstruction
Again the court erred in charging the
juav to consider the letter written BY
DR.. Graves to Mrs. Barnaby on March
q, to San Francisco, and aftcrward re.
turned through this dead letter office,
as confession of guilt. The letter, it
will be remembered, was one through
which the defense claimed Graves was
unaware OF the dcceased's whereabouts
The judge, in referring 10 soma ofthe
Witnesses, continues: ''ue was placed
completely at the mercy OF witnesses
who could swear at pleasure without
contradiction or OF liability to the PEN
alties OF perjury"
After review OF Mrs. Worell's testi-
mony, the brief reads: "If this is legal
then no mans life is safe in Colorado,
and if such testimony is sustained tho
law will be prosttrted from its high
mission OF enforcing right and JUSTICE
In conclusion, it is claimed shat this
looks like the warfare and ambuscadc OF
the savage rather than like the orderly
proceedings OF q court OF justice where
human life, character and rights should
be held sacred"
It is moro than probable new trial
will be granted.

FRAUDULENT ADVERTISEMENTS.
some Kinds Tint tho Public Should 10
Careful About Responding to.

Special Dispatch 10 he It,tignctr
/ WASHINGTON, D. G., April 1.-THE
frauds attempted by the use Of tho mails
arc almost innumcrablc. They consist
OF schemes concoctcd 10 humbug the
unsuspecting public, and 1t seems tho
greater tho fraud tho greater tho returns
to, tho swindler. Nearly all OF these
schemes make ruso OF advertisements
published In newspapers and OF cir.
culars distributed through tho mails,
Without these means tho public could
not DO reached and for this reason tho
law has been acted prohibiting tho usc
OF tho malls for fraudulent purposes.
But tits to be borno in mind that unless
complaints arc mndu to tho postoiico
department, those frauds aro carried on
without any knowledge OF their cxis-
tenco and no investigation can DO had.
10 give n few instances OF these
frauds. A few years ago IN advertise
ment appeared in tho papers stating
that for the sum OF 81 receipt would
bo given for tho permanent cure for
stammcring. When tho dollar was
cent tho receipt was returned which
simply read: keep your mouth shut"
Another instance OF this kind was
whcre an advertisement recited that
for fifty cents recipe would be given
for catching all tho fish in any given
body of water. When the fifty cents
was sent receipt would bo returned
telling the victim ito dip all the water
out and then pick up the fish,"
Another form Of fraud is perpetratcd
by means Of advertisements SO worded
as to mislcad the public Persons an
swcring them think that for % cents
they are 10 have n watch or some other
valuable article when in fact they mere
ly get some illustrated catalogue. An
extensive fraud has recently been car
rled on by certain persons claiming to
be commission merchants or produce
dealers, who send out their circulars
and price lists Offering prices higher
than the market, when in fact they have
no, commission house, and probably
only desk room in shop or saloon; and
tho goods shipped to them are received
and sold at any price obtainablc, no re-
turns whatever being made.
Some time since appeared q very
glowing advertisement OF n book, en-
clusivcly for young, unmarried people,
both gentlemen and ladies, the price OF
which was S.. For the IS q very cheap
edition OF tho Bible was sent. A fine
time keeper, with the cut OF watch,
would be advertised for 81. The sender
would expect q watch in return: but ho
would get a sun dial. Great frauds have
been carried on by the proposed publ
cation OF handsome illustrated books,
Tor which photographs OF prominent
men were solicited. 1t was added that
to have the necessary copper plates en-
grayed would cost SIG IS. A surprising
ly large number responded with photo.
graphs and money; but no books, OF
course, were published.
