There were no elaborate arrangements,

Mrs. Randolph, acted as usher in the
church. The guests at the wedding
were few In number. and none Of Mr..
Whitney's family witnessed the cere-

Present Deficit-G Governor Lippitt
Wants to Issue Bonds.

The financial message of His Excel
lency Charles Warren Lippitt was pre-
sented to the General Assem- bly, today at
the opening of the special session.

and estimated receipts and expenditures
for the present fiscal year. The total re-
ceipts, including two items of interest
on State House bonds on deposit, are
si,4i0, l1y.32.

mattel expenditures for the last four,

lows:

probably not be required during the pres

announced that Thomas Il. Farrell, az.
torney of record for the plaintiff had
withdrawn his appearance. Mr.. Dennis
accordingly asked that the plaintiff com
pany be non-suited and Deputy Sheriff
Thayer called the company and no one
making anwer said "the plaintiff is de-
fanlted." Just then Clerk Webster said
that case was pon-suited on Oct. 2, 1895.
"Has the non suit ever been taken off,"
asked JUDI ge Wilbur. "No, your honor"
replied the clerk and then his brother at
torneys in the court room looked at Mr..

REPORT ON STATE REvEN UE.

REPORT ON STATE hENENUEs
Chairman Freeman Of the special COM
mission on revenue of the state, presented
his report to the Senste this forenoon.
The fact that there is any deficiency at
ali in the state revenues is explained by
the enumeration Of extraordinary expen-
ses.
These expenditures amount to 81, 1885,
Ol2.95; besides these there have been
special appropriations amounting In the
aggregate to quite a considerable sum,
which must pe classed ss extraordinary.
In addition to these large expenditures,
there has been paid during the years 1892,
90 and "a, into the sinking fund for the
redemption of the war bonds OF the State
the sum OF $50, 900, and as interest on
these bonds further sum OF sl96, $50.
These sums added TO the amounts paid
on special appropriations as above, bring
the sum total up to 81, 49,, ,572.95.
Then follows the remedy suggested by
the commission which does not coincide
with the Governors idea about bond
issue. The report goes on TO say:
Your commission would recommend the
adoption OF the following resolution, or
something of the same nature:
Resolved, That the following question
be submitted 10 the voters OF the state to
be voted upon at the election TO be held
on the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November next, viz:
"Shall the General Assembly be au-
thorized 20 provide for borrowing from
time to time such sums of money as may
ne necessary TO pay the authorized ex-
penditures OF the state. not TO exceed mt
any one time the amount OF $3.50, ,000)
two hundred and tiity thousand dollars?"
Under the system practised for many
years, OF the general treasurer being
allowed to overdraw his account at bank,
no legislation would pe required upon
this subject. But ss the Governor OF the
state has pronounced such methods to be
unbusiness-like. irregular, and I'm his
opinion, unconstitutional, and as the
Supreme Court has decided that no officer
OF the state has the right tn contract
any debt unless authorized TO do so by
law, some action must be taken at this
session Of the General Assembly.
We prefer this method OF raising the
necessary funds for paying the obliga-
tions OF the state, to that OF issuing
bonds, because we think the EN- barass-
ment Is Of temporary nature and that
II economy IL used in the expenditures of
the state, and proper discrimination sx-
