declined to consider that scale. but OF.
fercd an ndvnnce Of cents over tho
scale adopted here last May, which
would be 56Ia cents for screened coal.
They argued that they could not pay

The decision means apparently that

tive from Justice. He had been staying
at the Adams house for several days

own name, and was not trying to flee
Or escape the notice of the police or
any one else. Counsel Calender also
called attention to the defendants con.
ditlOn. He was Ill with neuralgia and
nervous trouble. and the results of fur
fhcr detention might prove serious, he
said.
Judge Adams said that he must fol-
low the usual course In such cases and
held the defendant In $500. his case
being continued until October 18th.
Counsel Calender stated that his
client has friends In Providence and
In New York. and will probably be

II is estimated that in one city. Chi
eago. the coin-in-tho-slot machines are
dcvouring more than two million dol
lars year. There are two kinds OF the
machines: Those that have a slot for
petty gambling operations. and those
that are supposed always to give some
thing In return for the slot investment.
Those who put money in the gambling
slot take their chances of getting some
thing out. and the makers and buyers
of the machines take care that these
chances are none too good. Those who
drop coins In ostcnsibly vending slots
are not gamblers. but they are fire.
qrcntly dupes: the contrivance swai-
lows the coin. yields nothing worth
having. and seems to ask. What are
you going to do about IT," There Is
practically no choice between them.
and both classes of slot machines
should be avoided by all save Million
aires. and outlawcd by the state.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: "Do-
livia Is the latest OF South American
countries to hold out inducements to
immigrants. with special reference to
those from the United States 1t seems
to offer great opportunities for men Of
ability and enterprise. and. as the coun-
try is large and its development still In
It's infancy. there Is room fer perhaps
tho whole of tho surplus population
which finds 1t so difficult to rake liv-
ing in this country. But the United
States Is In no hurry to get rid OF this
class Of Its population. The young and
active men. who are usually the ones
to emigratc. arc the very ones who are
most needed at home. while the vicious
and idle, who could be well spared. are
in no mind to 20 where they must work
for living. STILL II men must wander.

New York, Oct. S.-Comptroller
Fitch's expert accountants, who have
been ut work Investigating the rec.
Ortis and accounts In Brooklyn pre-
paritory to consolidation. have found
discrepancies In accounts amounting
to S5.OOO.OOO.
The records OF the towns Of Flat.
lands, Flatbusl. New Lots, New
Utrecht and Gravcsend. which the Off.
Gals OF these towns claim were turned
over to the comptroller and corpora.
ton counsel OF Brooklyn when they
were merged Into Brooklyn, cannot be
found, and their absence intcrfe-es
with proper Investigation. There
are disa grecmcnts between the books
OF the comptroller OF Brooklyn and
those Of the registrar OF arrears. In
the department OF arrears there Is the
utmost confusion In the records. The
lcdgers are some 253 In number. con.
tnininG over 2OO.OO0 accounts, are not
In balance. and apparently have never
been balanced. and while on January
!, 1897. the balance to the debt OF the
registrar OF arrears on the books of
the comptroller was SS,415.12S, the
balance carried by the registrar OF ar
rears. rs representing taxes and ns-
sessments In arrears. was S3.7l4. .S2G.
and while the general ledger shows
that arrears Of taxes prior to 1S9.
have been overpaid S1I.253. the ward
lcdgers disclose many Items OF unpaid
taxes.
Officials Of Brooklyn deny that there
is. or has been. any malfc.isancc. and
ailege that the discrepancies reported
by Comptroller Fitch's experts are due
In large part to the defective system
Of bookkeeping followed In the towns
which were recently annexed to Brook
