Will Be This Years Deficit In
Revenue.
THIS MONTH rs EXPECTED TO
SHOW A SURPLUS.

Ouo " ehe Importing OF sugar anu 1io
Drawing of Whiskey From Bond
Congress Will Have to Provide for the
Deficiency-Business is Adjusting Itself
to the Changed Tariff Conditions.
Washington, June 10-The treasury re-
ceipts for ten days of June aggregated
SS, 435, 600; expenditures $10 004, 600. This
deficit will be wiped out before many
days. and the end of June is likely to
show for the month an excess of two or
three million dollars receipts over
expenditures, condition not reached by
the treasury in any month for several
years. The deficit for the year will be re-
duced to S45 900, 900 or below by June 80
This turn in affairs in the treasury con-
dition is accounted for by the fact that
business is adjusting istelf to the tariff
conditions, and large revenue is now
fore yielded little, as they were in
"stock"
This is notably the case as regards
sugar, which had been imported free un-
der the tariff law. The free stock is now
exhausted and imports have been re.
sumed and the large quantities of
whiskey one taken out of bond to escape
the increasedItax of twenty cents gallon
is now nearly or completely consumed,
and new whiskey is being taken out of
bond to supply the consumptive demand.
The increase in internal receipts show
this plainly
With oil ba nj, of
adjusting themselves to the present tariff
conditions, and with an increased volume
of business, it is apparent that the reve-
nueS of the government are not quite
sufficient to meet the fixed expenditures,
and while the increased revenue of $40, :
600, 600 or $50, 600, 600 provided by the SEN
ate over the House tariff act, principally
makes the deficit just that much less,
it leaves the treasury still short by
about twenty-five or thirty million dollars
a year of equalling the expenditures.
This will have to be provided for by the
next Congress

cost of only $50 each.
Next came the voting, and after the
question had been stated in both English
and French that all might understand it.
Inc check list was produced, vote dis
trlbutors went about among the crowd
and for half an hour the citizens filed by
the ballot box. Corbett was early in the
ring and was among the most active in
rallylng the voters.
Finally there was q pause while the
ballots were counted, and then the result
2O2 to 157 in favor of sewers was greeted
with shout of applause. Captain Slower
gracefully moved to make it unanimous,
and the battle was over. The sewers will
be built
If the extension of the system works as
well as the miles already in operation,
the people of Brunswick will have cause
for congratulation on the success of the
system. Mr.. Flanagan, the Portland
contractor, has done his work well, not
withstanding the difficulties due to the
quick sand on which much of the town is
located. The pipes are true to the engi-
neer's level, and not defect has been
found, the depression mentioned in the
discussion tonight being confined to one
spot and so slight as not to demand
serious consideration. The committee
will now go ahead and dispose of the $50,
900 of bonds, for which there a number OF
offers. Then the contracts will be let
and the active work of construction again
begun.
There is only one thing apparently, left
to be settled. That is the question OF
Mr. Corbett's taxes. He has declined to
pay on the ground that the appropriations
for the sewers were illegal. The
machinery of the law is likely to be set
in motion to make him settle.

A Double Murder at OstervilIe Yes
terday Morning.
GERMAN LABORER SHOT A SCHOOL
GIRL AND HIMSELF.
He Was infatuated With the Girl But the
Family Objected to His Attentions
Their Refusal to Return Gifts He Had

Made Thought to Have Been the Cause
of the Act.
Hyannis Mass, June 10--The quiet
village of Osterville was greatly excited
this morning by the murder of Lizzie
Coleman, thirteen years old, while on her
way to school, by q German laborer
named Henry Litkey, who afterwards
committed suicide by shooting.
Litkey had a wife and three children in
Germany, and has been employed on the
farm of S. S. Leonard the last six years.
He was steady, honest and faithful.
For the last six months he had been in
fatuated with the Coleman girl, and
spent considerable spare time at the
house of Mr. Coleman. His infatuation
was not noticed by the family of the girl
until recently, when her parents forbade
his coming to the house. He made the
girl various presents at different times,
also made a present to the mother. After
his visits We're forbi dden he wanted the
presents he made the girl and her mother
returned, which they refused to do, and
that was what melted him to commit
the terrible deed. He went repeatedly for
the presents and they refused to return
| them. The girl with her two brothers
started for school about $50 this morn
ing. Litkey was in the habit of meeting
her on the way to school for the purpose
of speaking with her, and often inter
cepted her on the way home. He fired
two shots at one of the boys, missing
him, and asked him what he had to say
about turning him out of doors. The boy
replied: "I did not say that. Father
was the one who said it,. Then Litkey
turned to the girl and shot her twice, the
first time through the mouth. and the
second taking effect in the back of the
head or neck. He Immediately turned
| the weapon upon himself the ball passing
| through the head Both probably died
| instantly He was about so and had fol-
lowed the sea before he came to Oster-
vile. He was intelligent and he said to
parties if Coleman would return the
watch which was one of the presents
that would be all he wanted of them, but
they refused. After he was refused access
to the home and family of Mr.. Coleman
he became despondent He left no papers
that can be found at present

Il have been carefully study

the last thirty days. The old
ones have disappeared but left
their eggs or the Matched worms
in the squares, the worm when
it energies from the chrysalis
state and becomes a full fledged
sharpshooter is about one
quarter Of an inch long The
squares infested by these in
sects drop to the ground and a
careful estimate assures nae
that these fallen squares can
be gathered at the cost of one
and Une-half cent per acre, and
if every farmer would carefully
gather these dead squares and
burn them | believe the sharp
shooter would soon be eXter
minated. These pests live about
thirty days and then are sue
ceeded by a numerous pro
geny."
Mr.. Bitterman has about 500
acres planted in cotton and is
waging a vigorous war against
the sharpshooter in accordance
with his ideas and observation
as above set forth and it might
be well if all farmers who are
raising cotton would follow his
example.-Corpus Christi Cal
