"Your committee believe that the neces-
sary expense for these four items is legit-
innate expenditure in this derartme mt.
Gen. Peck appearec before your commit
tee, but failed to explain, to the satisfac-
tion of your committee, how the necessary
official business of his department Re quired
such extravagant expenditures for postage,
and telephone and telegraph service.
"Gen. Gilmore also appeared before
your committee and stated fully as to the
official business. Of his department. Gen.
Peck failed to satisfy your committee that
the official duties OF his office required any
larger expenditures under these four heads

not been presented to the auditor and is
not included in this report. He has
received the full amount of his salary in
addition to the above amounts. Vouchers
for part of the expense of stationery, tel
egraph and telephone service were found
in the auditors office. Gen. Peck stated
that bis account for postage and his charges

for telegraph and telephone service were
kept on slips at his office in Burlington,
that when his quarterly bills for expenses
were made out, presented to the auditor
and paid, be destroyed the slips from which
the accounts were made, and that he now
has nothing by which these items could be
verified.
" Your committee requested Gen. Peck
to produce before them all letter books and
vouchers in hi, possession, relating to the
official business and expenditures of bis
office. He produced bt fore your commit
tee all letter books from April, 1892, to
November II, 1898, and informed the
committee that he had destroyed all letter

STRUCK DOWN.
How One Woman Stabbed Another in New
York.

New York, November 12.-A desperate
woman stabbed her rival in the street
early this morning. and while the crowd
which had gathered to watch the fight
stood dumfounded at the murderous turn
of affairs, she hid her poniard beneath
her coat and hurried away
No hand was raised to detain her. and
victim, Mrs. Hattie Smith, las uncon-
scious at the brink of death, with deep
wounds in her neck and breast. She ie
at the New York hospital. The surgeons
say she will probably die. One of the
wounds is very near the heart. The
police are securing the city for the woIn-
an with the poniard.
The assault occurred at Mrs. Smith &
doorstep, 1877 West 9th street. The latter
had been at ball in 8th avenue. and was
escorted home by Thomas Sommers, OF
l40 West 9th street For a long time the
couple stood at Mrs. Smith's door, an d
then Sommers bade her goodnight and
went toward 9th avenue. Mrs. Smith
watched the retiring figure, ard turaed
to 90 in the house, but the other woman
confront ed her with loud threats and ac-
cuSat1onS.
Several persons in the neighborhood
were aroused by the confusion on the door
step, and many other persons gathered
on the sidewalk. The woman stepped
close to Mrs. Smith and cried out so that
all might hear:
~ tell you he belongs to me, do you
hearP He's been mine for years. | tell
you to keep away from him.
Mrs. Smith g reply WAS not audible to
the inqui.i yescrowd but it was sufficient
to goad the oGner woman into striking
her She reeled under the heavy blow
and placed her hand to her mouth where
the blow had fall n.
Suddenly the other woman backe away
two or three feet and stopped Sill keep
ing her eyes fixed OH those Of Mrs. Smith,
she drew q poniard from a sheath that
dangled at her knee and advanced upon
Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. smith shrank back as the poniard
arose. She could not avoid 1T, and il
fell twice. Once the thin blade sank in
her neck, and once. as she fell, in hei
breast. The wounded woman sank In q
heap while cry went up from the crowd.
The other woman was undismayed by
the result Of her attack upon Mrs. Smith.
She looked narrowly at the woman she
had struck down, and slipped the poniarl
| beneath her coat. Without hesitation she
forced her way through the crowd and
passed on No hand was raised to detain
her. and she was soon lost to sight.
Her victim had become unsconscious.
Some one at last hurried for a doctor, fol
she was in q fair way to bleed to death.
The doctor stanched her wounds and lat.

The amount of good done by the con-
ferenoes of this county every year Is
enormous in the aggregate. About 325
conferences are continually dispensing
charity and that is in the right way. No

assisted and they do their work quietly
and at the same time with the true con-
ception of what the word charity means.

POLO NOTES.
An Expert Tells of the Maine and Con.
nectfcut Leagues.

Eugene J. o. Connor, Jr., formerly a
manager OF a polo team in the Maine
league in the course of long article on
polo in the Sunday Post of Boston, has
this to say: From small beginning
great things have often arisen, and it's
almost a sure thing there will be a
national roller polo league, comprising
most of the large northern cities of the
presept national baseball circuit at some
time in the future. This game Is too
splendid an exempliHcation of all that
holds good in professional athletics. re-
ouiring the highest degree Of skilled
work. to be limited to one section OF

land, Me-, that nm extension OF the Sport
is now feasible In Boston. Greater New
York, Baltimore. Washington and other
cities along the Eastern seaboard, ana
thew have gone SO far rs to form a syndi-
cate, purposing to organize their particu-
lar National League" Without disrupt
inc present conditions entirely, the afore-
said league will not become y realtty this
season. Along educational lines the star
teams of the business Will be willing TO
perform in the PROPOSED dig c1tle6 Scuun
after their engagements are nlled for the
season in this section; and such after
season tour could be made q financial
success, and at the same time hasten the
day when a national league would bc-
ca,ne fact. The formation of the Maine
ieacne. in the fan Of 1886, has been the
dirsat means of giving the game the com-
narrtively wide deld 1t now embraces, as
apaInnared psur with the preceding years. The

One of Grant Shaw's lectures:
young man, learn the lesson
well that all the genuine pleasures
are on the side of morality. To
wander from right may give you
experience that seems gilded and
and fascinating, but it is onlp a de-
lusiou. Beneath the tinsel is the
grief that lasts. The griefs, soT-
rows and miseries are on the side OF
wrong. There is where you con-
tract them. No misfortune is a
very great afliction if you are
right. To gain wealth is success,
but it is only mole hill to the
mountain compared to the success
of being right and happy"

There Is more catarrh in this sec
tion of country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca

Captain Clark of the Oregon, is a
"bird," as we'll as a good soldier.
When he last anchored, he found
bushels of orders awaiting him, and
advice from the stragetic board.
He answered them all something on
the style of Stonewall Jackson to
Jefferson Davis, the latter keeping
a Courier in hot pursuit of Jackson
whenever he was in striking dis
tance OF the Yankees, with orders.
Jackson soon wearied and wrote
Davis: "Please send me more men
and less orders, or more orders and
less men" Clark wired them sim
ply that he did not want to get
tangled up with so many orders;
that he was confident he could whip
the whole Spanish fleet and for
them not TO fear for his safety.
