the Auditor of Public Accounts is re-
quired to publish within two months
after the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture an itemized account showing the
expenses of the session and list Of all
the appropriations made. The pamphlet
required has just been issued. The
Legislature was in session forty days.
The session had to be extended ten days
over the time allowed by law for special
sessions. During its sitting it spent Si5,-
79s.27, divided as follows: Salaries Of
Representatives, s26,4i0; salaries OF
Senators, Ss,22O; mileage of Representa-
tives, S4,671.s7; mileage of Senators,
Sl,57o.G GO; amount paid Senate employees,

Sc, 1890 contingent expenses Of both
houses, S749.5O. Total, s45, 1921.
The total appropriations for the W
years for all sources amount to ~, 300,-
o17.26. or this amount 81, SAT, 900 is for
tI6 COuluOl SCuOOl luHu iOT tHc WV
years. For the penitentiary farm Sl;5,-
900 is appropriated. 1t 10 an extrao,di-
nary appropriation, and will be spent
during the year, it is presumed. To
cover this amount and some other in
creased expenditures, the State tax was
increased from to mills for 1894.
With this increase and the 500, 200
special warrants, or certificates au-
thorized, which are now being prepared

lieved there will be ample money. II
is tho intention OF the Auditor to issue
these warrants some time in June Or
July. They bear rate Of interest at 3
per cent per annum, payable at ma
turity, January l, 1896, and as they are
receivable for all State taxes, it is
thought they will float at par.

crime. There is q good deal Of mystery
about the affair, but one OF the witnesses
says he saw the man and woman drunk in
an area at the foot OF the stairs on Orchard
street. The man was maudlin and seemed to
be fondling the woman and calling her pet
names. Something reused his anger and he
struck her, and then seized her by the hair and
dragged her up to the stoop, beating her
with nm iron bar. He got her up to the
top Of the stairs. but she could not stand.
He propped her up against the stoop and she
fell down. He beat her again and propped
her up once more. When she swayed again
he struck her blow that feled her like a
log. She fell down the basement stairs head
first, dead. Several people saw the affair but
did not interfere. They ran away when u
policeman appeared.
