For several days there have been
stories OF a successful operation by
gold brick" swindlers, the victim be-
ing a we'll known and well.to.do resi-
dent Of Ohio county. Definite details
have not been forthcoming, but yester-
day q pretty complete story was OBJ
tanned by the 1SrELLidESCER, and 1t was
found to be true that well known man
bad been victimizsd 10 the extent o.
$1,000. In return for this amount oil
cold cash he has two "bricks. or slabs,
Of some very heavy metal, apparently
washed with gold on the outside and
plugged at one place, where they were
bored and pure gold found to exist. just
as It always Is. One OF the bricks Is In
Wheeling bank and the other 10 said
to be in possession OF iewier. They
arc described as about l6 inches long,
u inches wide aud thick.
The story is that about year ago two
strangers approached the prominent
citizen in question, with story that
they had learned from old miners the
spot where quantity OF gold bad been
hid. There was considerable expense
involved in searching for it, and the
strangers did not have the ready money:
They promised II the local member OF
the firm would put up $1,000,
they would give him gold worth
SCI, 700. After great deal OF
talk over the matter, he was induced to
60 to the bank and borrow the needed
81 900, and six or eight weeks ago he
did so. The s., 900 and the two strangers
disappeared about that time, but the
two bricks of gold, or pigs OF lead, or
whatever they are, remain TO represent
tho assets Of the Partnership into which
the three men entered.

On Reply to a Sketch Which Recently APP
peared in The Constitution)
Languidly the blue eyes opened; pleadingly
they sought ~ c-t1,
While the perfect lips We're quiveTiEg with
a low, half smothered moan;
But the troubled eyes in wandering round
found the object sought at last.
And the look of patient suffering into sweet
contentment passed.
On. the love- the trust. the power Hnger-
ing in those eyes that smiled
on the strong man bending near her help
less as little child.
And my heart was wruDg with pity as the
proud man bended low,
Meath the deepest 6eencst anguish that the
heart of man can know.
They had worked: yes. toiled together;
he with every faculty;
She with loving smiles TO cheer and urge
him on to victory.
1t was all to make a refuge for this idol
Of his life
All to make a peaceful shelter for his
gentle, winsome wife.
There to nestle mid her flowers; there to
keep his hearthstOne bright;
There to greet him on his coming with
wealth of love and light.
Now, Oh Fate. thou art So cruel; on the
threshold of success
Thou hast snatchcd away the prize and
closed the door of happiness.
All was still--the sufferer slumbered. Her
companion turned away
Fixed his yearning gaze upon ple, Doctor
we had moved today but
And here his story ended. for low moan
from the bed
Called him back. His look of anguish fin
ished what he might have said.
In his arms he clasped his darling, pressed
her to his aching breast;
on her face the look of suffering changed
to one of perfect rest
One long smile she beamed upon him that
TRANSPORTED the pale face,
Making on his heart an impress that no
time could e'er erase.
Sweetheart, 7 am oh-so-tired!' on her
brow the death damp lay;
Lower still the sweet lips murmured: par
ling, We an't-mOve--today.
Then the weary head dropped low; sunset
radiance filled the room,
And the blue eyes closed to open IN her
everlasting home. .-. ---,,,r,rr

Comptroller's Report

The Comptroler's report just made
public, is an interesting document, and
will be read With interest by every eiii-
zen of the State, because from it, it will
be seen that by careful management Of
our finances in few years the State will
be free Of debt The eonsummation Of
this fact. although rests somewhat with
the present session Of the Legislature
The total amount in the Treasury dur
ng the fiscal year was s3l15659 9t
the amount Of receipts during tie year
lppear less then TIE previous year. but
in point Of tact we're greater when it is
considered shat several large suvs were

from the General Government direct

lis Of the late deauldug Treasurer
Archer. The three sums adlel tosoth-
,r and deducted from the receipts Of
1892. will show the amount re-
,eived that year was actually less by
S25. 562 IL than the receipts Of 1898.
The disbursements also appear to be less
than the previous fiscal year by S6l9.-
Do IS, which is gratifying to know
The Comptroller calls lstention TO the
fact that although The Treasury Relief
Loan has been reduced the tax Of one
one-half cents imposed to create sink
ing fund to pay this loan off, is still i'm
posed and that the sum derived therefrom
has and will be invested in the several
sinking funds uadl oth4rwis directed
by law. To remedy his oversight, he
recommends repeal Of the aw imp1s
ing the tax which should be ioue at once.
No sinking fnnl has been provided for
some Of the bans made recently, out
owing to the depressed condition of f
nancal aud commercial matters. the
Comptroller says he is not prepared to
ask for an increase tax.
The receipts on account o. tha oyster
fund was greater by 3t7S4 a, than
during the year previous, and the dis
bursements exceed the same by Sill
636 90, which Is caused by the equip
ping of new police boats Toe disburse-
ments being paid net balance is left to
the credit of the fund Of S3.S47 81 L
