the period covered by this report is nearly 5000 less than the accrued interest for the same period, and the aggregate of payments for the year 1897 is about $16,000 less than the interest for that time. This results from the fact that checks and coupons, and especially the latter, some of them, are not always presented for payment when due. Among the checks and coupons examined by me during the examination, I find sev- eral overdue. The record of payments of coupons kept by the treasurer shows non payment of coupons on many bonds for several years past. These have not been checked by me in either of my examina- tionS"

TREASURER'S BOOKS
 FOUND CORRECT. The Report Sent to Governor Johnston by Examiner
 Purifoy.
Special to the Age-Herald.

Montgomery, Ala, March 19.-Public Ex- aminer Purifoy has examined the account of Hon. George W. Ellis with reference to receipts and disbursements made by him as state treasurer, on accout of interest on 1897, to the 31st of the succeeding Decem- Der. Judge Purifoy's report of Aug. z, 1897, covers his transactions on this account, prior to July 1, 1S97 He says:>
 ''I have compared the entries of receipts shown by his books with the corresponding entries on account of warrants issued by the auditor, and the balance brought from his last statement, and have examined each check on account of which payment for in- terest on registered bonds have been made, and also the coupons paid on account of interest on bonds not registered, checking the latter with the several accounts for warded by the American Exchange Ma tional bank, the states fiscal agent at New York, and have also examined the vouchers for necessary expenditures outside of checks and coupons, and respectfully re- port that find the report correct. The following statement, compiled from the treasurer's books, shows the condi- tion of the account at the close of pay ments prior to Jan. 1, 1898:

Safe Blowers at Work
Special to The Age-Herald

SpeclaI to The Age-T1era1u.
 Selma, March 19.-This morning MT. w. T. Cannon, manager of the Standard Oil company in Selma, on going to his office found the door of the safe broken off and lying on the floor. Investigation showed that at some time during the night burg lars had forced an entrance through a rear window. A hole was found drilled beneath the lock and filled with powder. For some reason the explosive had not been set off, presumably because the wold-be safe sack CTS were frightened off. There was very little money in the safe. The work seems to have been that of professional safe blowers.
