The report of the postmaster general
contains a detailed statement of the oper-
ations of the postoffice department during
the last fiscal year. and much interesting
information touching this important
branch of the public service. The busi-

Office receipts and expenditures is the ex-
pected and unavoidable result of the dis
tressing stringency which has prevailed
throughout the country during much
of the time covered by the
postmaster generals report. AT a
date when better times were
anticipated it was estimated by his pre-
decessor that the deficiency on the Both
day of June. lS!3 would be but little
over million and a half dollars. 1t
amounted, however. to more than five
millions. At the same time and under
the influence of like anticipations esti-

Only Linger Until Harrison's Term
Expires-The Day in Washington.
WAsH1seToN, March 3.-Those resi-
dents Of Washington who have faith in
Mr.. Cleveland's ability to bring sunshine
at will, were sorely puzzled this morning
to explain the sudden and unfavorable
change in the weather. Yesterday was
all but an ideal spring day, the sun shone
brightly and the air was just cool enough
to make walking thoroughly enjoyable.
But early risers this morning saw a
change in the condition Of things. The
sun was obscured by rain-laden clouds
and the indications were that the day
would prove to be quite as disagreeable
as yesterday was beautiful. The super
stitious explained the unfavorable change
by saving that this was the last day of
Harrison weather" that the President
was going to call on the President-elect
and consequently the rain came to greet
him Just as it had come for his inaugu.
ration and for almost every public func-
tion in which he had since taken part,
and that Cleveland weather" would set
in later
The President elect and his party,
after their fatiguing journey Of yester.
day, retired early. Many of their
friends realized that rest must neces.
sarily be more welcome to them than
callers, and wisely deferred calling until
to day or later Every one passed a
very restful night, and arose about 8. 30
this morning thoroughly refreshed.
Breakfast was served in their private
dining room about $50. The President
and Mrs Cleveland were Joined by all OF
the other members of their party except
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. In the meantime
the Senate committee, consisting of
Messrs. Ransom, Teller and Mcpherson,
had arrived and were waiting
in the rotunda of the hotel.
They were joined by the members Of the
inau suration committee and as soon as
it was announced that Mr. Cleveland
would receive them they proceeded in a
body to his apartments and explained tC
him what arrangements had been for his
Inauguration and invited him to maxi
such suggestions as be might see fit. Mr.
Cleveland expressed his appreciation o
the thoughtfulness and care with which
the arrangements had been made.
At 10. 80 Mr.. Cleveland accompanied b,
his private secretary, Mr.. Thurber, en-
tered carriage and drove to the Whit
House to pay respects to the President.

Count William d. Kocheiay. recently
released from the New Jersey state
prison at Trenton and unfavorably
known here, visited Camden yesterday
afternoon for the purpose Of indulging
in his favorite pastime of matrimony.
Kochejay seemed to hold his head higher
than ever yesterday, and acted as if the
decree Of divorce only lately procured by
his first wife, Miss Mamie Scovel, had
released him from oppressive bonds. The
latter was not a new victim of the gay
Counts attractions, but was none
other than Miss Nellie Wingate, of this
city, marriage to whom caused
KOchejay's troubles The trip to
Camden, however. was not attended with
success. Upon reaching there the couple
entered a cab and gave directions to be
driven to the residence Of a we'll known

Story of the Crime.

Story OF the Crime.
William Coy came of a shiftless family
and in 1887 he married the divorced
wife of Myron Bate. In the summer of
1891 Coy and his wife lived in a miserable
shanty in Washington this state near
the Beckett line. Coy worked on the
railroad and one of his fellow laborers,
John Whalen, of Beckett, boarded with
him. Whalen became enamored of Mrs.
Coy, who was decidedly prepossessing
and won her favor,
On Friday, August %, Mrs. Coy left
home. telling her husband she was going
to Three Rivers. Her plan was to meet
Whalen in Troy, the following Monday.
Saturday morning, Coy learned that his
wife had spent the night at North
Beckett and had left early that
morning for Albany. He started
inpursvit and in Pittsfeld met Whalen,
who had been to Lee to collect some $Sl 0.
They drank together and took the II 80
train for Westfeld. They came back
from Westield on the evening train
Whalen, who was badly intoxicated, left
the train at Washington, Coy going on
to Pittsfeld.
Coy returned to Washington on the
midnight train. He went to the house
and killed Whalen with an axe as he lay
on his bed in a drunken sleep Then he
cut his throat with the same weapon,
almost severing the head. Dragging the
body out Of the house he cut off the legs
just above the knees and then carrying
the pieces into the woods on the noun.
tains. east of the house, he buried them
in shallow grave covering all with
leaves. Returning to the house he cut
out the blood stained parts of the mat
tress, pillow and carpet and burned
them. His wife returned the following
Monday.
Coy told a companion named Kelly
that Whalen had confessed to an init
macy with his wife and had given him
500 a. d his watch to say nothing about
it, Coy and his wife went to Westfeld
two weeks later where he secured work
driving a street car. The absence OF
Whalen finally aroused suspicion and

place has such destruction been known.
The cyclones path presents scene
which is indeed pitiful and which
battles description. Scattered timber
and uprooted trees now mark the place
where once large residences stood.
In addition to the velocity Of the wind
there was a heavy rain, which poured in
volumes for about two hours 1t began
with and was part of the misfortune Of
the occasion, for all who were left home
less were exposed to It, and sought to
extricate those who were lying beneath
the wreck.
Two persons were killed. Maximillan
Brouillette and child Of Mr.. Laberde.
About forty people were wounded, most
Of them seriously. The small list OF
fatalities is considered marvellous.
Families whose homes were destroyed
and who lost everything by the storm
are being sheltered by friends. Most Of
the people are too respondent yet to
begin to clear away the debris.
