The Years Government Expenditures
Exceed the Income by $77 100000.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 19.-Sensa-
tional figures were submitted to the
Senate to-day, showing the manner in
which the United States government is
plunging into debt. The facts were
made public through a report from the
finance committee, containing the COM
munication from the Treasury De-
partment in response to a resolution
calling for information as to the prob
ability of deficiency in the
revenues of the government. The
committee shows the deficit for the first
three months of the present fiscal year
to be over $21 100000, at the rate of
over S87 100000 for the year. It shows
the expenditures during the first three
months to have been over 500, 900 900, or
an average of about So, 900, 900 month.
At the same rate the expenditure
for the year would aggregate about
1894 600, 900, or about 81, 100000 more
than the estimated expenses, and
would show an increase of expenditures
over supposed actual receipts of a little
over SIT 100000. The secretary says q
definite forecast for the whole year was
impossible, but it was apparent that
should the present conditions continue
the deficit at the end of the year would
be about S50, O00, 000

TRENTON, n. j., Oct. 19.-The costly
monument, erected jointly by the
United States government and the
states of New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania, commemorative of the
battle of Trenton, foughtb the colonial
troops under Washington and the Brit
ish forces, was dedicated to-day. The
ceremonies were elaborate and were
participated in by many prominent
government and state officials.
Promptly at 1870 to-day the process
sion of troops, including the governors,
the societies and the invited guests,
started for the battle monument. The
reviewing stand was erected in front of
the courthouse on Broad Street
and here, after the ceremonies at
the monument, the procession
was reviewed by Gov. Werts.
There were 5000 troops in line from
New York. Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets and New Jersey, the column
being in command of Gen. SeWeu

extent of 900 gallons has been pre-
pared and was given to the troops.
The ground near the monument was
fairly black with humanity waiting for
the procession.
The monument has for it's principal
ornament a large bronze statue of
Washington which stands on top of
handsome shaft. The monument is $50
feet above the street level, weighs 4. 000,-
900 pounds, and the shaft alone cost
over 100000. For fifty years
the subject Of the erection of
a monument to commemorate the
battle of Trenton has been dis
cussed. The bronze statue of Washing
ton at the top ofthe shaft was presented
by the state of New York through
legislative appropriation in view Of the
fact that the New York troops partici-
pated in the battle of Trenton, which
engagement probably decided the fate
of our country. Thus it is that New
York's two most distinguished citizens,
President Cleveland and Gov. Flower,
were invited to be present at the dedi-
cation and in addition the West Point
cadets were asked to attend, and that
New Jersey, Massachusetts,, Connecticut
and Pennsylvania paraded the flower of
their national guard and that fifteen

Morrisonville, in this county,

the officers who effected their arrest to-
day, they celebrated their arrival by
shooting and yelling in imitation of
cowboys, and insulting everybody in
sight. They quickly attracted a crowd
of about fifty in front of the post-office.
The constable was out of town, so Carl
Linde took the lead trying to
quiet the young would be-desperadoes
Saim pulled his revolver, it is alleged,
and stuck it in Lindes face. The latter
grabbed it, and, after tussle, got it
away from him. The other two
started to help Saim and a
general scrimmage ensued. For a
few minutes the scene resembled
a riot. The three were quickly over
powered, Saim getting his face and head
badly pounded up in the melee. Word
was telegraphed to the sheriff, who
went out with deputy and found the
the three embryo cowboys sleep
ing at their homes in Morrisonville. He
brought them here and lodged them in
Jail. They will be arraigned to morrow
in the municipal court on q charge of
disorderly conduct. A more serious
charge will follow against Saim. The
