not the slightest evidence Of gratitude TO

ALL TRACE OF HIM LOST.
Photographer Edwards. Formerly OF
Petersburg, Disappears.


New York, July ia black vallse, con-
tanning clothing, objects which were de-
scribed as states, a tiny barrel full OF
brads, and various toilet and other arti-
cles, Incl udiDg a piece of Wrapping paper
having the imprint of a dry goods store
in Emporia, Va, found in the underbruslI
near High Bridge at the time the Gulden-
suppe mystery first attracted public at
teBtion, probably belonged to William Ed
wards, photographer, who recently came to
this city from Petersburg, Va, and who
has not been seen by his acquaintances here
for three weeks.
1t was at first bought thatit had some
thing to do with the crime, but subsequent
Investigations by the police expl oded this
theory. The property was taken To police
headquarters. Edwards worked for
Hall in the latter's Photographic estab
lisbment, at Thirt y-fourth street aud
Broadw ay, for more than year. He went
South and worked in North Carolina and
Tennessee, drifting finally into Virginia,
where he was employed by the Murray
Photographic Company, of Petersburg.

Emporia until June 10. when he went to
Richmond to have his eyeglasses repaired.
lie is known to have purchased the only
ticket to this city sold in Richmond on
that day. Since then his friends in Peters
burg and Einporia have not hadthe slightest
trace of him He sent all the negatives
and instruments belonging to the Murray
Company to Petersburg. His object in
leaving his employers was not ascertained.

tended to come to this city
The disappearance OF Edwards was
widely commented upon at the time in
Petersburg When the mysterious valise
was found Edward s. Ring, OF Peters
burg, who knew Edwards intimately, then
noted that the contents Of the valise cor
responded almost exactly with the ar
ticles, which he knew Edwards had in
his possession when he left Petersburg
Mr.. Hall said yesterday that Edwards
called at his studio one afternoon between
June 90 and June 25 and complained Of
difficulty in securing work. He said he
tad been South, but had come back to the
city to stay.
Eft Hall did not have an ything for him
to do, but Edwards told him that he had
hopes OF getting work with Frank II. Pot
ter, OF NJ 621 Broadway. MFR. Potter
said he had no recollection OF Edwards
calling On him. Edwards is said to have
been bachelor. He had no relatives
in this city aad no intimate fren DIS. II is
possible that he met with foul play from

however, finds a setback In the fact that

PUBLIC DEBT STATISTICS.
Secretary Gage Sends the Figures
to the Senate.

to the Senate.
On the 10th of June last the Senate
passed resolution calling upon the Sec
Ietary of the Treasury for information
concerning the public debt, receipts and
expenditures and various other items COW
eling long periods of years. The informal
ton, which was sent in yesterday, shows
some interesting figures. July l, 1864, IL
aggregated ST ,s15, 7Ss.37O, and reached
the nigh-water mark in 1865, when 1t
amounted to $2,762,4 1888. From that
period. with the single exception Of 1874,
when a small increase Of little less than
S7,0OO.G0O was made, it steadily declined
until in 1877 it had been cut down to w.
094 ,76S,792. In 1878 and 1879 there was
an increase of SIS, 475,62a, but the de-
crease, with this exception, went on until
1898, when the total debt aggregated
S947 ,I31 ,7G6. Increases during the next
taree years brought the total up To ST.
20s,729,350 on July l, 1896.
Another table shows the total revenues
and expenditures OF the Government from
1873 to 1896, inclusive, not quitting
postal receipts or expenditures, or the
proceeds from the sale OF bonds. June
80, 1873, the receipts were $3.50 ,0O0,05l,
or $13,3T6,6hS i'm excess OF expenditures.
The table shows that the receipts were al
ways in excess OF the expenditures until
the end of the fiscal year 1893. The low
est excess was for the last-named year,
when, with a total of 1886, S19 ,62S of reve-
nurs collected, the surplus amounted TO but
$2,s41,674. In 1882 and 1888 the sur
plsu amounted 10 ei ,543,s10 and 1892,
"A a. ii ater faf
the years, from 1875 to 1898, the surplus
was over 500. 900, 900; during three Others
II was in excess of SEC, 100000 The larg-
est receipts collected were in 1882 and
1896, and in each OF these years the az
gregate reached a fraction over x4O3,-
100000. In 1882 occurred the S145,-
zoo 900 or surplus, the largest in our hts
tory, while in 1890 the surplus amounted
to S105. 100000. For 1894, 'S5 and 80
the expenditures are shown TO have eX-
cecded the receipts in an aggregate OF
$l2T ,s11,729.
Another table groups the total OF the
public debt over periods OF -four years,
ending March |, 1889, March 1, 1893, and
March I. 1897. For the first-named period
the decrease In the public debt amounted
to $34l, 44S,449. For the second period,
the decrease amounted to $2S6, b27 ,666,
and for the last period. ending March 1,
1897, the increase is shown to be $685.
Ib5, 95S.
Still another table shows that the re-
ceipts of the Postoffice Department have
grown steadily from S26,79l 800, June
80, 1878, to $50 ,499 EOS, June 80, 1896
The expenditures have during this en-
tire Period, with the exception IL 1882
and 1888, exceeded the receipts, the
lowest excess being S2.s07 ,l6s in 1881 f,

The great strike of the coal miners ap-
pears to be without definite change today.
In the Parkersburg, w. Va, district the
men at the Palatine mines have returned
To work at cents advance, after strik-
ing on Saturday for 10 cents. There seems
10 be a disposItiono on the part OF West Vir-
GINA operators TO make concessions to
the diggers, and il is possible that the
State may be kept out OF the movement.
That, however, is not likely to obviate
trouble, as the Ohio miners do not mean
70 allow West Virginia coal to come into
their territory. Within few days there
viii be an effort TO move some, and ugly de-
yelopments are predicted I'm consequence.
II is expected that the movement will he
made under military protection. Leaders
OF the national miners organization be
lieve that the railway laborers will refuse
TO handle coal under the circumstances of
the case, and, OF course, in that event a
serious situation will be produced As
yetitis impossible to estimate the strength
or gravity OF the strike, but the events of
this week ought to make all that clear.
