The present Board Of Trustees Of the
Poor at Farnhurst is another example Of
Democratic economy In Delaware with the
public fluids.
According to the reports submitted on
Wednesday the almshouse has had onlS
one less inmate for the quarter just ended
than during the corresponding three
months year ago. But the trustees,
with careful supsrintsndents co.opera-
tion, have saved s.. 4O4 during the past
three months In one hundred, PEN
cader, ths saving in outside relief was
nearly one-half.
Such clean-cut economy as this cannot
but be appreciated by the common wealth,
the people Of which must now practice
pinching economy to bear the tax bur
dens placed upon them by their state,
county and city. It stands In striking
contrast to the condition Of finances in
Philadelphia, where Republican extrava-
gance has added many millions to the
public debt, has laid heavy burdens
upon the taxpayers aud has squandered
vast sums in system Of patchwork
improvements. According to published
accounts. salaries there have been raised,
new positions created, big loans have
been fosted, but very little has really
been accomplished for the people who are
progressive and industrious.
Vita the Farnhurst trustees aud their
administration OF affairs. the condition
Of things is entirely different Feeling

The StenOgrapher SCENE to Be the Chief
Sufferer in this Investigation.
The asylum investigation committee is
in session this afternoon, but StenOgra-
pher James Wick has not turned over
the transcript of the evidence because
he has not yet been paid for his work.
Attorney General Dawes promised Mr..
Wick that he would before 1870 o'clock
today, the time for the committee to
meet, decide whether his bill can legally
be paid out of the governors contingent
fund for the present year.
Mr.. Dawes afterwards said he would
not give his decision until the transcript
is turned over to the committee. Mr.. Wick
turned the precious document over to
DR.. F. H. Smith one of the members of
the committee with instructions that it
should not be shown to the other MEM
bers until he receives his money.
Senator McTaggars went to Attorney
General Dawes and objected to Wick's
having turned the transcript over with
string tied to it and the attorney general
then announced that he would not de-
eide the matter until the transcript is
placed in Senator McTaggart's hands.
Mr.. Wick is of the opinion that the Of
| ficials are scheming to beat him out of
his money and he says he will not turn
the transcript over to the committee I'M
til he is paid.

COEUR D'ALENE, Ida, September g.
Captain Paul Webb lost his life near
here in an attempt to ride his submarine
boat or barrel down 800 foot log chute,
into lake Coeur D'Alene. About 500
people witnessed his attempt to descend
into the lake, which took place at Ro-
sens log camp, eight miles from here.
Webb was placed within the boat,
which was six and half feet long, two
feet in diameter and cone shaped. Two
thirds of the way down there was a
slight rise in the incline. Here the bar
rel jumped thirty feet in the air striking
the ground on end, then rolling 40 feet
further down the hill. Many persons
turned their heads with horror and some
ladies tainted.
When the barrel was opened Webb
was jammed closely into the end but was
conscious. DR.. Russell of Spokane ex-
amined him and pronounced his spinal
column broken. He was taken to Spok-

FORT SCOTT, Kan, July 6.-Ths heav-

in many years occurred last night when
there was a precipitation of 419 inches
of water. The Marmat0n river and Mill
creek rose rapidly out of their banks and
this morning a portion of the north side
of town is completely inundated. Fami-
lies have been driven from their homes
and much damage to property has re-

The Missouri Pacific freight depot is
on an entirely inaccessible island and the
Missouri Pacific shops are under water,
necessItating the suspension of work.
The two rivers have joined on National

severe was the storm that the safest
country roads, were for hours impossible.
