VAULTS SHUT TIGHT.
And Mr.. HefiebOwer Won't Open
the Treasury Till Matters
Strengthened.

The state treasury vaults are locked
today and the keys are still in the pos
session of Treasurer Hefiebower. A
notice on the doors informs the public
that no business is being transacted. In.
side the assistants and clerks of both
the outgoing and incoming treasurers
are sitting around the tables doing
nothing but watch.
AS prophesied in the Journal Satur-
day Treasurer Grimes refused to receipt
for the warrants which have been paid
for the extra session and which are
carried in the treasury as cash. When
the question of the validity of the war
rants came up Saturday afternoon As
sistant Treasurer Kelly went to Audi
tor Cole and asked if he would give the
treasury department credit for the war
rants in question if they were receipted
for. Mr.. Cole replied that he would
not, but would hold them up the same
as he had the vouchers for the extra
session which had not yet been audited.
Mr.. Grimes came into the treasury at
O'Clock where all the receipts were in
readiness for his signature, and inform
ed Mr.. Hefebower that he was ready to
receipt for everything except the dis
puted warrants.
very well,'' said Mr.. Hehebower. "I
paid that money out on warrants duly
L
to give receipt for everything when I
came in here, and I'll get the same kind
of a receipt when I go out, or I'll stay
here till hades freezes over" only I'm
cle'' Dave used another word instead of
hades. Then, turning to his assistant
treasurer, he said:
Mr.. Williams. lock the vaults. Wen
keep the keys till we get our receipts
The vaults have not been opened
since.
Neither Mr. Grimes nor Mr. Hefie-
bower blame one another for the others
action. If Mr.. Grimes had receipted
for the disputed warrants he would
Auditor Cole, and if MIR. Hefiebower
turned over the treasury without hav
ing everything receipted for he might
have got into trouble over it.
The warrants in question amount to
about Sc, 100, and were the ones audited
by Auditor Morris before he retired,
but not presented at the treasury for
payment until after Treasurer Hef1e-
bower had made his last settlement
with Mr.. Morris.
A peculiar circumstance in the case is
that among the warrants which Mr..
Grimes refuses to receipt for is one on
which he himself drew $24. He has so
far drawn $167.40 as a member of the
extra session of the legislature, and he
still has a small voucher which has
been held up by Auditor Cole along
with the rest OF the amount he has
drawn $14340 was for mileage and per
diem before Auditor Morris went out of
office, but the $24 voucher was not
cashed till after the change in adminiS-
trations.
Attorneys say that Treasurer Hefle-
bower could not have done otherwise
than pay the warrants after they had
been drawn by the state auditor.

HAS RESIGNED.
Judge Fosters Resignation is
Now on the Way to Presf-
dent Mckinley.

Judge Fosters resignation as federal
judge of Kansas, effective March I, is
now on it's way to President Mckinley.
It was mailed here Saturday night, and
will probably be before the president
tomorrow. The copy of the bill retiring
Judge Foster has been signed by the
president, and there will be nothing in
the way of President Mckinley indicat-
ing his successor as soon as the resig-
nation IS received by him personally.
Those who have been following the con-
test of the different candidates predict
that the president will name the next
judge very shortly, and the general i'm
preston is still that Judge Hook will be
the man named.

ed in this town is increasing in virulence
and scope. There are at present twenty
one well defined cases here, sixteen of
which are in town. There are two cases
in the hotel. Three new cases and three
deaths Friday.
One of the worst features is the lack of
any quarantine regulations. The small
pox is mostly confined to Russians who
visit Marion and surrounding towns and
mingle freely with people on the trains.
The state board of health will be notified
of the condition.

Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-07-13

OF values may explain 1t. Quite recent
ly. however, a number of instances Of
holding over enterprises have come under
notice. The pig iron market has been
fairly active and in the east continues to
display an advancing tendency. In
Pittsburg there has been a moderate
movement in Bessemer pig at $20.75 de-
livered. Some moderate sales of steel
billets have been recorded n there is
now an inquiry in the eastern market for
a block of about 10000 tons for delivery
during the year. Reports have been cur
rent to the effect that al large block Of
ship plates have been purchased in GlaS-
gov for shipment to his country.
In regard to the contract for 1870 900
tons of steel rails for Russia. we have
It from a good source that the business
is practically closed. Structural material
has been advanced S. per ton during he
week. thus bringing that branch into line
with other departments. Chicago reports
the placing of an order for 10000 tpns for
a western railroad. In other, parts of the
country very large requirements are
coming up.
The sheet market has shown a great
activity n a further advance has been
made. One season contract calling for
1900 tons was placed in Chicago this
week. The latest dispatches from Chi
cago state that the conference bftween

Iron Trade Conditions.

New York, July 13.-Reviewing the
trade conditions, the Iron Age says:
Our usual monthly pig iron statistics
show that production, while it continued
to increase in June. was inadequate to
meet the demand, the stocks having been
further reduced. The production of the
coke and anthracite furnaces expanded
from 249,00 tons weekly on June /, to
$4,000 tons weekly on July l, and yet
furnace and warrant stocks fell from
215, 0G0 to $4,000 tons, or four days supply
reckoned on the whole output. This fig
ure is, however, somewhat misleading
since the stocks cover only the metal on
hand at the furnaces running for the
open market, representing about one
quarter of the output. But ever making
due allowance for this, the stocks are at
a very low ebb. 1t is true that a number
of %urnaces have started since the first
OF this month and that others will be
in before the beginning of August, but
yet an easing in the situation is not vet
in sight, particularly since an important
group Of furnaces in the Shenango val
ley are banked on account of labor trou-
bles. Although they are expected to
start soon, a certain amount of tonnage
has been lost.
1t has been a matter of surprise that
that high prices have adversely affected
consumption. Probably the fact that de-
liverles have been at much lower range

The Tilden Estate.

New York, July 13.-Samuel J. .Tilden's
estate, according to the executors final
account, amounted to $500. COO. After
the death of Mr.. Tilden in 1886 his will
was found to contain special requests
az gregating 81 500. COO. and practically all
of the residue was left to establish a free
library in this city. Had his intention
in this bequest been carried out the con-
dition of the estate shows that there
would have been about 81, 900, 900 to found
this library, which would nave made of
it what he hoped it to be-cne of the best
in the country.
Mrs. Mary b. Peyton, a sister of Mr..
Tilden, who would have been entitled to
one-half of his estate if he had left no
will, and half of his %residuary estate
when the clause for the will was found to
be void, refused to allow her brothers
scheme to. fall through and made an
! agreement with the Tilden trust, through
the executors, by which she ~relinquished
her share Of the estate for about 81 900, 900,
SO that the remainder of what she would
have been entitled to was left to estab-
fish the library. The New York public
library, Aston, Lennox and Tilden foun-
dations, nave received from the estate
81, $685. 31, which is IS, ZOO, 900 less than the
amount Mr.. Tilden desired should be de-
voted to this grand scheme for a public
library.
1tfwas in the suit Of George H.. Tilden.
a nephew of Samuel j. Tilden, that the
%residuary claus of the will was held to
be void after years of litigation, carried
to the court of appeals. and the half of
the residuary estate went to himself n
his brothers and sisters-Samuel J. Til
den, Jr.. Henrietta K. Swan, Caroline B.
Wh'ttlesey. Ruby Tilden Paine and
Susan Tflden Sabin. each receiving $454,-
CSC. Before the agreement of 1892 was
entered into. the expenses of adminis-
tration of the estate amounted to $685.
