The death OF ex-Premier James q.
Blaine brings to mind one OF the most
thrilling scenes that ever occurred In
the House Of Representatives. when Mr..
Blaine, then a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination of 1876, arose In his
seat, and, in his peculiarly dramatic
manner proceeded to lampoon the Judi
ciary Committee for having interfered
with his personal and private matters
in regard to the subsequently celebrated
Mulligan letters. At the conclusion or
his explanation" Hon. Eppa Hunton
Chen representative and now senator
from vlrginia). chairman of the sub
committee of the judiciary, arose, and in
a most able, effective and caustic argu-
ment, proceeded to mop up the floor
with Mr.. Blaine. The scene was exciting,
not to say exhilarating. and both sides OF
the House united in agreeing that no ques-
tion was more ably, eloquently, discreetly
or successfully handled in the House or
Representatives. or was there more
astuteness and capable generalship ever
displayed in that body than shown by
the distinguished Confederate Briga-
dier Eppa Hunton on that occasion.

THE wALDRoN CASE.

The Report OF tho Investigating Com.
mittee-The Figures for Five Years
What the Report shows.
Below is the report Of Accountant Morse
of bis investigation of the accounts of F.
q. Waldron, late clerk of the board of
public works. 1t was submitted to City
Attorney Dow Saturday morning by Mayor
Sargent and Commissioners Todd and
Maley of the investigating committee. The
report, as told before, covers the last five
years and shows a deficit of $1,5o2.3 "a
These five years only were included, be-
cause Mayor Sargent instructed Mr.. Morse
to confine his report to those years, as q
criminal action can be brought for moneys
embezzled within five years of the time of
the institution of proceedings where the
embezzlement has been continuous.
The report in full is as follows:
New HAVEN, Jan. 20, 1898.
Messrs. Todd, Maley and Sargent, Com
mittee Board of Public Works.
Gentlemen-As instructed by you re-
port herein detail of collections by F. A.
as appear by his books and what has not
been accounted for by him to the city
treasurer or the collector of licenses and
permits.
This report covers only the fiscal years
1888 to 1892 inclusive to the date Of his
dismissal.
The deficit in sewers and water permits
accounts has been aseertsined by examin-
alton of the stubs of same, carefully not
ing permits calling for larger sum than
was entered or accounted for, and assam
ing that the correct amount was in all
cases received for their miscellaneous per-
mits were correctly accounted for for
walks and cuts and sale of material &C.
counts No books have been shown, and
1t is probable that no account was kept ex-
cept upon the cash books. The only cash
books which have been found for the per
NIT named are those for the fiscal years
ending November &c. 1887 and 1891.
All entries of receipts on said cash books
for walks and curbs and for the sale of
material have been paid over to the treas
ursr, an apparent over payment to the
treasurer of 81 % for sale Of material IN
1891 being explained by an error in CLASH
fcstion of that sum to sale of material in
stead of to the account to which it prop
erly belongs.
The total receipts appearing upon these
two cash books have been paid to the
treasurer or the collector, but omission to
enter upon the cash books certain receipts
shown by the other books occasion the de-
fcits shown during 1887, 1891 aud 1892.
By the methods explained find the fol
lowing receipts not accounted for during
the years 1887 to 1892, inclusive, in the &C,
counts stated below:

Bond Investments Increasing.
New YORK, Jan 90
The stock market to day continued to show
decided strength, but the Changers attracted
most attention and were by far the most promi-
nent features. The dealipgs in st. Paul were on
an enormous scale. but tho quotations ad-
vanced, the offerings became smaller until the
price crossed 50. when large blocks Of stock were
thrown on the market checking q further ad-
vance. although the gain already made was
firmly held until the close. 10 Rock Island the
trading was not on SO large a scale, hut the
price advanced to about the same extent, the
stock selling at 50. Burlington, Northern Pacific
preferred, and Northwest followed the two
stocks named closely, and q large part, both of
the active and inactive stocks, made materisi
gains through the day. number OF stocks,
notably the industrials, which have hitherto led
in activity, were neglected and apparently left
without support, Houidatirg orders In several OF
them resulting In sharp declines. There wss
heavy realizing early in the day by professional
traders, who are credited with having assisted in
the upward movement, but the sales on this &C
count had only q temporary effect. After this
selling was exhausted the movement was re-
sumed in the Changers, under which the highest
prices OF the day and week were reached. The
bond market also continued strong and active.
Dealers In bonds report the investment bLsiness

per cent. bonds selling below par continue the
favorites, but trading In them Is limited on
count Of the gradually decreasing supply.
To-dsy's gold exports were without effect upon
