murder of u woman six years ago, and for
which crime their testimony secured con-

of a man whose. innocence has since been
shown. So Mrs. Corbett ereleased them
oil, and in return Beverage and Redpath
conducted her and an aged woman named
Emmons to places of safely. Then they
hurried back to the village and were fore
most, Mt the peril of their own lives, in the
work 'bf rescuing belated victims. Sew
eral. times their clothes were on fire and
their. faces biistered and hair singed by
the heat. oUpon Sheriff Corbett's return
the day following they reported to him,
but were told there was no place to keep
them and to shift for themselves, only
keeping ready for call when wanted. This
they promised to do. The news of the fire
caught Pat Nester in bed ut Baraga. In
less than two hours he had his ting loaded
down with supplies and was steaming for
Ontonagon. At Ioughton and Hancock
not tug could be found that would try
to go out, but the Cotton steamed right
through the high seas and made the
eighty-six-mile run TO Ontonagon in seven
hours with heavy load. These. with
the supplies from Rockland, were the
first received from outside. Since then
supplies are coming in by the carload. A
relief store has been started. Books are
kept, and every man is known and a
record made of his dependents, what he
needs and what he gets.

a DEFICIENCY
ror the Revenue Customs Collection for
IA. Year 1896.

WAsmINGToN, May The secretary
of the treasury Wednesday afternoon
sent to the senate letter calling at
tention TO an estimated deficiency of
81. $50, 900 for dnfraying the expenses of
collecting the revenue from customs for
1896. The permanent appropriate for
collecting the customs revenues is fixed
by the act OF 1871 at So. 500. 900,
not counting fines, penalties. and for
FIXTURES that may be collected The
secretary calls attention to the fact
that - years have elapsed since this
permanent appropriation was made;
but, he adds. the appropriation to-day
IL smaller than IL was in 1871. although
the demands upon il have increased,
owing TO additional business and the
creation of new customs districts
and ports The deficiency estimate
of 81, $50, 600 submitted to the house
was reduced in the general deficiency
bill to ss5O.OOO. The total expense of
collecting the revenue from customs
duIing the fiscal year 1895 was 81, 9OO,-
PSI, while the total receipts from that
source for the same year were Sl52,-
l5S,6l7 and IL is estimated that such
receipts for the present fiscal year
will aggregate SlG5. 600. 900. The
secretary calls attention TO the
fact that while the entries have
increased per cent. the number
of persons employed have increased but
five per cent. A tabulated statement
is furnished, showing the ports where
increased expenses have been incurred.
Much of this, especially at New York.
Is said to be due to the increased force
of inspectors and the additional facili-
ties established for landing passengers
and baggage at New York. An in
crease in the salary of examiners-now
where the expenses have increased
most are Boston and Philadelphia.
Secretary Carlisle, in conclusion. saws
that If the department is compelled to
conduct the customs business during
the remainder of the fiscal wear with
the $3.50, 1000 appropriated by the house
of representatives, a reduction of $3.50. =
600 each month will have to be made.
This can only be done by "A horizontal
reduction of salaries and by clos
ing customs houses at ports of delivery
where the receipts do not amount
to SO. 900 per annum. The monthly
pay roll amounts to $40. 900, and such
reduction would mean n loss of 2S per
cent ON all salaries for May and June.
Salaries are fixed by law, and the re-
covery of this amount would undoubt-
edly, the secretary says. bc secured
through the courts, to say nothing of
the hardships and great inconvenience
