THE DEPLETED TREASURY.
Tho Month of May viii Make Another
S6,OO0,OOO Excess.

Tho Month of May viii Make Another
S6,OO0,OOO Excess.
The present depleted condition OF the Treas
ury and the discouraying outlook for the
future are source of considerable worriment
to the officials of the Treasury Department.
Already the gold reserve which has been
brought up by the last bond issue to s107,-
800, ,s42, has been reduced by expectation since
March 10 to less than $50 0O0, 600, with no in
dications that the foreign demand will cease
until il has reached a much lower point
With the exception OF the gold reserve. and
counting every available dollar in the vaults
of the Treasury the government to-day has
less than go, 900 900 with which to meet its
obligations. Nor does the future show any
signs of encouragement. On the contrary,
the probable deficit of 100000 for the
month of May. is likely to be increased by
S15,O00,0O0 during the two succeeding
months.
The closest calculation that can now be
made shows that the deficit for the fiscal year
ending Juno 30, will be approximately S74,-
100000. Close estimates place the receipts
for May at S22, 100000, and the disburse-
ments at S2s, 500, 900. For June the receipts
are likely TO be about S23.000. 900. and the ex-
penditures S26. .000. 900. making the total re-
ceipts for the fiscal year 1921 1898, 749, nnd the
disbursements 1866. 1871 .I97.
While it is confidently believed that the re-
ceipts for July will increase somewhat, yet it
is much more certain that the disbursements
will increase. conservative estimate OF the
deficit for July is Sl2. .000 600, this increase
being accounted for by the payment OF many
obligations. including about 1880, 900 in in
terest that mature at the beginning of the fls-
cal year.
During June the pension payments will
amount to about SO 500. 900. and during July
to nearly S11. 900. The exact amount OF
receitts and expenditures for the present
month and for the fiscal year 20 date are rs
follows:
Receipts for month to date. S20. .429. .SSs; re-
ceipts for fiscal year TO date, 92s6. .239 637; ex-
penditures for month to date, s26. .27l 500;
expenditures for fiscal year to date, S337,

TALK ABOUT THE SPORTS
The Senators Will Play the Balti-
mores This Afternoon.
MANY GAMES WILL FOLLOW
First the Louisvilles, Tomorrow, and Then
tho Other Western Clubs-The Racing
Chart in The Times Commended by the
Race-goers-some New Horses at the Track

The Senators will play at National park
! this afternoon. having the Baltimores for op-
ponents. They have had very disastrous
trip. Not only have they been defeated at
each place visited, but they encountered
rain storm at Philadelphia which prevented
them from playing any of the three games
scheduled for the Quaker city. Thus, from a
financial standpoint, they have suffered to
certain extent.
The game this afternoon is one postponed
on account of rain. The friends OF the WASH
ingtons will be out in force to welcome the
club, but unfortunately they have no reason
to be enthusiastic. If the team had won
Saturdays game there would be something
to enthuse about, if for no other reason than
it might be supposed. as in New York when
the Giants won one game, that their bad luck
had forsaken them and they had started on u
winning gait.
Tomorrow the CoIonels will be here with
the great PETER at second and the yearling
Menefee in the box. After the Louisvilles
the other Western clubs will come in order
and the Senators will have their hands full.
Their friends hope to see them win, and not a
few believe that after they have done with
Baltimore the hodoo which has so long en-
vironed them will be shaken off. However
that may be, they will play the scheduled
games.
The racing across the Potomac seems to be
a go. Greater accommodations have been
provided and the patrons of such places have
taken kindly to the sport provided by the
enterprising Messrs. Jones. The card to-day
contains some new horses and they are per-
haps a shade better than some which have
been there from tho start. At any rate, the
breeding OF the animals Is evidence that
some good contests may be expected.
The race chart in The TIMES is in keeping
with the idea Of the track goer. Many COM
plimentary words have been heard from those
who make daily pilgrimages to the end of the
Long bridge 1t is great help to those who
endeavor to get the best OF the bookmaker.
and the latter, too, is materially assisted by
the chart.
The foreign book is not yet opened at the
Grange Association park. and it is not known
whether the Messrs. Jones will allow one to
be put into operation as it is alleged that
such action would be in open violation OF the
Jockey club. of which they are a member.
However, it is Just possible that the owners
will see that they are losing trade by not
having one open and Will endeavor to get
permission to put one on.

their knowledge that the power lay in the
hands Of the commissioners, and when ap-
pliestion wss made 70 them for Claims by

There has been more or less petty thiev-
ing going on in the neigh6orhood Of Confa-
ence for several weeks past Things come
to such pass that the citizens finally de-
termined TO place a guard around the town
at night in hope of capturing the thieves.
Last Friday night Isaac Halls smoke and
spring houses were entered aud lot of pro-
visions carried away. The thieves conceal
ed their booty under the B. & o. wa,er tank
near the station, where they were discovered
By one Of the guards When approached
they took 10 their heels. the guards pursu-
ed aud a war of stones was kept up until
the rascals were finally driven into the
creek. One Of the thieves. more daring than
his comrades, halted in the middle of the
stream and bid defiance TO his pursuers.
when be was shot BY one of the guards.
The wounded man begged for cessation Of
hostilities and agreed to surrender When

Division Fences.

Chss.er county has recently lad = suit a,
Law over division iarm fences. the solution
Of which has effsciually afiun-d the force
OF the Act Of 1872 50 fs. as it relates to this
class Of fences In this suit the plaintiff
and defendant own asjSining farms. The
plaintiff was disssiisfi i with the character
OF portion Of the division fence maintain
ell by the defendant, and taking action un-
der the Act Of 1872 called the saditors Of
the township, who, by the specific proyis-
ions Of the Act, became the fence viewers Of
the township. After being duly sworn,
fence in dispute, and AFTER dsliberstiOn made
the following report That Mr.. Roberts, the
plaintiff, maintains I26 panels Of fence and
Mr.. Sarchet. the defendant, li9 panels That
Mr.. Roberts fence is a sufficient and lawful
fence, bat Of Mr.. Sarcheis' fence 50 panels
were not sufficient and lawful and needed
re-setIing with new posts. and 81 panels re-
quired repairing. " We hereby decide and
direct that Joseph Sarchet proceed within
ten days TO reset and repair the said fence al
his expense and complete the same in a res
sonable time, ends the report.
After the lapse Of twelve days Mr. S2rchet
having made no move towards repairing the
fence, the fence- viewers directed Mr.. Wyatt
to make the necessary repairs. and ordered
the expenses charged against Mr., SAche;,
and the suit was brought to recover the bill
for repairs, which amounted to 50 IS.
On hearing the case and considering the
evidence, Judge Hemphill decided in favor
Of the plaintiff, and ordered the defendant
to pay the bill for repairs, and in making
this decision the Judge very distinctly ruled
that the repeal OF the general fence laws Of
100 and l74s in no way affected the progis-
ions Of the Act Of March nth, 1872
