TREASURY OvERDRAwN.
Bundle of Old Warrants Issued by the
Sullivan Crowd Turns Up.

1t was discovered yesterday that an over
draft of $3,07 had been made on the city
treasury, and this puts the financial affairs
of the city in even more deplorable fix
than they were supposed to be. Controller
Trusler was somewhat surprised to have a
big bundle of paid warrants sent down to
him from the treasurers Office. and upon
investigation he found that the warrants
were over month old in several in
stances. 1t would seem that the late Sui
Ivan administration issued the warrants
and failed to have a settlement with the
city treasurer for a considerable period.
City Treasurer Holt notified Mr.. Trusler
of the overdraft and the controller iInme-
diately stopped the issuance of any more
warrants. The treasurer will probably
credit the city with the amount of the over
draft but the bills for the current week
will not be made until some arrangements
can be made for securing funds. Money
IS coming In right along In the shape of
taxes, and a large portion belongs to the
city. but the money is not available until
Nov. 6. The pay roll for the street gangs
was not presented at the Board of Works
meeting yesterday morning. The roll
amounts to about 5000, $500 of which was
incurred by McGettigan.
When Mr.. Woollen left the office he told
Mr. Trusler that there was about $1,000 on
hand, which would probably run the city
until the LIST of next month. Mr.. Woollen
perhaps not aware of the number of
the outstanding warrants. Or the city
treasurer may have given him the figures
on the balance on hand without telling him
Of the warrants that had not been paid.
Mr.. Trusler was soon presented with bills
to wipe out the balance on hand. Mr.
Woollen estimated that the city's portion
of the taxes would be $2lS.0O0 and that
after paying the temporary loans and other
obligations the city would have $4,000 to
run IL until the April installment of taxes
came I'm. 1t was found. however, that the
city had anticipated $4,000 of the taxes
Then Mr.: Trusler was compelled to get
5000 OF the city treasurer and when the
street work bills came In he had to get an
other $1,000 in order TO meet these bills
With this 5000 overdraft the city will have
just $1,000 to tide her over until spring.
Or. to consider it another way, the tempo
rary loans amount to $4,000 the fund an
tlcipated $4,000, the overdraft 5000. cleo
ton expenses 5000 the new controllers
credits $1,000 and one months expense OF
the city AO.O00-a total of $2l5,0O0 to be de-
Quoted from S21S. 900, the estimated receipts
or taxes This would leave a balance of
N.VOO. The city treasurer does not think
the city viii get much $21S, 600 from
the taxes This shows that the city will
nave only n few dollars to run ii to April
aIter the debts paid.

ONE LIFE FOR FIVE
A Doctor Hanged for His Part in
a Wholesale Butchery.
Preached His Own Funeral Sermon on
the GallOws-Illicit Love and MUIR
der at Omaha-Other Crimes.

MORTON, Va, Oct. H.-Dr. Marshall Tay
lor expiated his slaughter of the Mullins
family on the scaffold at Wise Courthouse,
few moments after o'clock this afternoon.
He met death boldly. and under the moose,
dressed in a suit of pure white linen, he
preached his own funeral sermon to the
crowd of assembled witnesses of his death.
The crime for which Taylor paid the pen
atty committed May IL. 1892. and was
more in the nature of q massacre than an
ordinary murder. So hideous was 1T in
every detail and so heartless in its execu-
ton that it shocked even the inhabitants
of this mountain region, who are not un-
used to hearing tales of murder. Ira Null
Inns, a man who was so lame that he could
not walk, lived at Pound Gap, near the
State line between Kentucky and Virginia
At the time the murder was committed he
had been to Letcher county, Kentucky
to dispose of a tract of land, and was re-
turning to his home in company with his
wife, his daughter, his brother, John Null
Inns, and the ldtters wife and son. This,
with silly boy, who was the driver, COM
posed the party. Mrs John Mullins and
her son escaped to tell the story.
Mrs. John Mullins the principal wit
ness against Taylor. Her evidence in court
was to the effect that Ira Mullins and fam
lily were in a wagon, short distance in
front of her, and she heard volley fired
Fastening to where they were she saw
the horses and driver dead. Immediately
Taylor and two others. John and Henan
Fleming, came out of the woods that lay
between the pathway and the road, and
commenced firing at close range into the
wagon. Ira Mullins and his wife and son
were killed I'm tat volley. At that instant
her husband John Mullins, and her son
came up the pathway. The guns or the
murderers were turned on them, and John
Mullins fell lifeless. His son fled and eS-
capped alive In the meantime Mrs. Mullins
had alighted from her horse and run up to
sake to quit shooting as they are all killed
now" One of them turned to her and said
that if she did not leave there = quick
we will kill you too. She then ran away
and left them. They then proceeded to rifle
the pockets of their victims, securing from
sold, which was about $1,000. They then mu-
tilated the bodies of their victims in the most
horrible and revolving manner
Taylor was arrested some time afterwards
tried and convicted. The Flemings are still
at large Last July Sheriff Muller led a
Muller was walking alone he discovered
them, and firing commenced on both sides
at once. He succeeded in wounding one OF
the Flemings in the shoulder, but they made
their escape before the posse reinforced the
sheriff. Another posse was organized, but
the search was in vain.
Taylor was about fifty-eight years old,
and was educated as physician: He was
q very eccentric man, full of spir1tualistic
ideas. He would hold spiritual seances at
his home, where he claimed to perform
wonderful feats through the influence q

While tho committee cannot, with justice
TO those who have all eady purchased tick

NO LICENSE INSPECTOR.
The Office Abolished-The New Super
intendent of Police.


The curtains to the door leading to the
Board of Safety's room were drawn yes
terday afternoon to keep the curious from
staring at the board The board was not
considering appointments, but the throngs
in the basement could not see that, and
few even attempted to crowd into the
chamber. The board met to audit the
monthly bills. Chief Webster, of the fire
force, was told to hereafter approve his
bills with pen and ink, and not with a rub
Der stamp. Inquiries were made as to the
manner in which the chief approved the
bills. The fire force accounts for Septem-
Der, amounting to S3199.5S, police station
accounts, 1884, and market accounts,
S4S5. 49, were approved. The pay rolls were
not In for this month.
The board decided to abolish the Office OF
license inspector.
1t is reported that Capt Charles Many
may be appointed superintendent or police
TO succeed Colbert. Mr.. Conner denied that
Captain Many's name had even been con-
sidered. 1--WE may give Barrett some
show" was the remark dropped by one of
the board yesterday, and this led to the
inference that perhaps the assistant fire
chief may be retained.
