This shows surplus TO the city of
SiGao5 after making up all the deticit.
and may perhaps be accounted for by an
error in calculating the interest on the
warrants. almost every one Of which was
for different date, and the inter est con-
sisted OF small amounts.
The final negotiations were transacted
yesterday, when the securities accepted by
the city were formally assigned to it by
Adotph krug. ana all attachments released
on the property of krug. Thurman and
the other bondsmen. A large number of
papers covering the muitifarious proceed
ings had To be drawn up and signed, and
considerable time was consumed in the
merely formal execution of the document
All the explanations made from time To
time Of the nature of hrug's defalca.ion
have failed TO account for from $4,000 TO
$50. 600 cash. Even now this remains n
mystery except possibly TO krug himself
and to his personal attorney. Ills private
affairs, and especially his cash transac-
lions. are so inextrieably mixed up with
those of the city treasury that all attempts
TO reconcile figures were abandoned within
the amount named. 1t seems to be evil
dent that krug used n considerable
amount OF money for which no security
is To be found. He bought up rival
bakery, took stock in the Consolidated
Cracker Company and made purchases of
land. Although these have all been
turned over to the city, In fact all his
property except his home. which was left
untouched as his wife's share OF the COM
munity property. there still remains an
unsceounted-lor sum. krug vas allowed
to retain one lot for which he is said To
have paid s., 20. which he has decided to

A FUNNY PROCEEDING.
The New York Electoral College Endorse
Murphy.

ALBANY, N. Y, January 9.-During an
informal meeting of the electors today,
Alex. T. Goodwin offered resolutions en-
dorsing the candidacy Of Edward, Murphy
Jr., for United States Senator. These
resolutions declare that Murphy is sup
ported by the regular Democratic organ
izations of the state, and that public SEN
timent as manifested everywhere
throughout the state seems substantially
in his favor Also that "his unswervihg
devotion to Democratic principles and
long and arduous service in the Demo-
cratic cause at former period when he
was the able lieutenant of Samuel j.
Tilden to the present hour were recog-
nized."
Martin J. Keogh of West Chester
thought it rather without the province of
the electors to take stand upon sena-
torial question. They should not use
their exalted position as electors for such
purpose. He moved the consideration
of the matter be postponed until after the
college finished the work for which it
convened.
Edward L. Litchfield seconded the mo-
ton. 1t was lost. The resolution was
adopted by viva voce vote. Only three
electors admitted having voted against
the resolution.

Beginning of the Big Panama Trial
Today.

PARIS, January 9.-The new Procur.
eur General, M. Tanon, has summoned
81 witnesses for the great Panama trial,
which begins tomorrow.
The parties to be put on trial are M.
Charles de Lesseps, director of the Pan
anna Canal Co.; M. Marius Fon-
tame, Secretary General of the
company; M. Cottu, of the firm
of Reinach, Kohne & Co., and M. Gus
tave Eiffel, the distinguished engineer.
Charles de Lesseps has caused rec En-
glish directors of the Suez Canal Compa-
nv to be summoned as witnesses in his
behalf
PARIS, January 9.-Charles De Les
seps has given NJ. -Franqueville, examin-
ing magistrate, notes concerning the re-
lations of the Canal Company to many
public men. The evidence shows con-
clusively the connection of many sena-
tors and deputies with illegal operations
of the company. Two cele
brated writers on economic and in
ternational questions and two ex-
ministers are said to be among those
compromised. These revelations are ex-
pected to lead to more arrests.
Russia and America Strike Hands.
LONDON, January "a St. Petersburg
des atch says Prof. Martins, the great
Russian authority on international law,
has been appointed member of the special
commission in connection with the seiZ-
ure of the British sealers in Bering Sea.
This confirms the belief tbs Russia's in
tention to claim closure of Bering Sea with
exclusive rights to the west of an imagi-
nary line drawn by the Americans. The
indication is that Russia and America
are working hard, hand in hand, against
England.

forded by the water power at Mechanic
Falls caused the development of vii
lage on both sides of the river so that
fl How townsmen and neighbors in Me-
chanic Falls, if they happened to live on
opposite sides of the river were citizens
of different towns. This occasioned no
inconvenience while the present busy
community was only a hamlet, but as
the village grew its needs grew also, and
the time came when its people believed
they must have certain things which the
outlying sections of the town did not
look upon with favor. Itwas the old
question of the village and the rural
section which has made many Maine
town meeting animated
AS cure for this state of affairs some
of the Mechanic Falls people thought a
village charter would work, and four
years ago an attempt was made to incor-
porate the entire village, including the
portions on both sides of the river. This
scheme, however, seemed to many like
placing too many wheels within wheels.
1t would, they said, complicate the ques-
ton of taxation by establishing three
systems within the village, the town
taxes of Minot and Poland in their re-
spective portions and the taxes for mu-
nlcipal purposes under the village char
ter. There was a lively contest before
the legislature and this plan was beaten.
Two years later, however, a similar
scheme for village government was sue
cessfully advocated by the Mechanic
Falls people on the Poland side of the
river and the legislature granted them a
charter, that portion of the village on the
Minot side being left unincorporated.
The people of Mechanic Falls in Poland
now thought that their troubles were
over, but they found that the much
priced charter itself CO tanned the seeds
of new dissension. When the charter
was under discussion in the legislative
committee an amendment was made to
it whereby the sidewalks within the vii
lage limits were put under the control of
the municipality. The village people
say they accepted the amendment which
originated among the people of the out
living sections in the interest of harmony
and without anticipating the use that
was to be made of it. This purpose,
they say, became apparent when the
town, while refusing to have anything to
do with the construction and mainte-
nance of the village sidewalks, also re-
fused to make a proportionate

factories, and there was an immediate
panic among them. Fire escapes and
the stairway, which had not yet caught
fire, afforded means of exit for the
scared employees, but there were num-
ber of narrow escapes.

committee. and so will Mr.. Bird, the
Democratic candidate for Speaker of the
House. Mr.. Morrill, will be on the COM
mittee on legal affairs, and it is reported
that Mr.. Emerson will also have place

there are hardly lawyers enough to go

committee, of which Sc, ator Mallet is in
line for the chairmanship, and Captain
Sawyer, it is believed, will be on the
railroad committee. Mr.. G. A. Wood

BECOMING CIVILIZED.
Abolition of an Outrageous Practice
in the Land of Liberty.

Abolition OF an Outrageous Practice
in the Land of Liberty.
The un-American practice of de-
tanning in prison as witnesses peo-
pie who have been robbed and as
saulted has been done away with
by Chief of Police Crowley. Until a
few days ago witnesses have been
confined in the city prison for per-
iods of from twelve hours to ninety
days in order that the police might
be able to have them at hand at any
time the prisoners, cases came up
for trial. The excuse given by the
officers was that if the prosecuting
witness was at liberty friends of the
accused could easily square the
case" or induce the accusing witness
to leave town until the trial was
over and the accused released for
want of prosecution. In this way
victims of thefts or assaults were
thrown into prison and "booked as
witnesses" while their business pur-
suits suffered.
Frequently families have suffered
for the necessities of life because the
providers were in jail, being unable
to provide heavy bonds for their ap-
pearance in court. There are many
instances on, record where the &C
cused have been released on bail
while their victims languished in
prison. So frequently have witnesses
been unjustly detained of late that
the matter being called to the at
tention of Chief of Police Crowley
he has issued the following order to
Captain Stone:
"Only in felony cases where wit
nesses are non-residents should they
be detained, and then only by an
order of court, and in these cases
great discretion should be used as
to their detention. You will so in
struct the officers under your COM
mand. "-S. F. Chronicle.

NO DOTS AND DAsHEs.
Electricity and the Humble Type
writer Made to Work in Unison.

CHICAGO, February 1.-Telephon-
ing and telegraphy are to be revolu-
tionized. That is the declaration of
a number of gentlemen who applied
for articles of incorporation to-day
for company with capital of $780,
100000. The concern is known as
the Harrison International. Tele-
phone Company. The following, who
completed the final details at a
meeting at the Grand Pacific to- day,
are the directors Dr. E. M. Harri-
son, Fort Smith, Ark; l.. E. ingalls,,
Chicago; George r. Peck, Topeka,
Kas.; Charles M. Ferree, Albert 1.
Stone, Major William Warner, John
t. Blake, Howard M. Holden, Web
ster Davis, Kansas City; Richard G.
Kern, D. j. Young, st Louis. The
chief offices will be in Chicago.
The new system will comprise
what will be known as the long-dis-
lance typewriter, kind of telegra-
ply which is calculated to abolish
the dot and dash and render the art
of the operator devoid of CONNER
cial value. The typewriter will be
more or less of the ordinary charac-
ter. For example, one is placed in
an Office in Chicago, another in an
Office in New York, and they are
connected by an electric wire. The
owner of the machine at one end or
the other wishes to send message
to his corresponding house. He
hands his communication to his
typewriter. Each word is spelled
out and an exact fac smile is pro-
duced on the machine with which
it has been connected.
This machine adjusts itself auto
matically, requiring no lever to lift the
paper for new line. 1t is intended
to bring it into use in sending news.
paper dispatches. The typewriter
can be used for short as we'll as long
distances, and one set of words
can be sent on regular circuit as
by the present telegraphic methods
The cost, it is said, will be one-third
less than for ordinary kilograms
The chief advantage claimed for the
system is that it does away with the
necessity of a central operator. II
is intended to charge $50 year fol
an instrument in a business office
and $50 for private residences.
