verely censured Wednesday by the general
association OF Congregational ministers Of
Connecticut, of which he is a member, in
session at the Church of the Redeemer in
New Haven. DR.. Barrows was present

that lie had been imposed upon by Mr.
Belmont and Mrs. Sloane, but in spite Of
this resolutions were passed censuring him
and forbidding any Congregational minis
ter of the association tomarry any divorced
person who has been shown guilty by the
decree. The resolution was presented by

Youth Worth soOo.O 900 Abducted.

Moses Chase, p, alleged to be mentally
incompetent and reputed TO be worth $780,
600, was abducted from the Hotel Cadillac
at Detroit, Sunday night. He had been
patient at sanitarium in Flint, and
was on his way to his home in Lafayette,
Ind, accompanied by his father, Frederick
Chase, lawyer. When the father and
son arrived at Detroit the young mans
aunt met them at the depot and hurried
the youth to the Cadillac. The father was
unsuspicious. Sunday night a carriage
drove up to the hotel and young Chase
ives taken to the Cleveland station, and
probably was taken to Cincinnati.
The fortune that the boy possesses is
revertible to the aunt upon his death,
which 1t is alleged is the motive for the
supposed abduction. The police of New
York, Boston, Portland and Montreal
have been notified TO be on the watch.
The father and his attorney believe that
the aoductors are to take the young man
out OF the country. 1t is stated that upon
Chase turning his majority, the fathers
guardianship ceased, and that the father
was taking him TO Lafayette for the pur-
pose of himself being continued as his
guardian by order of the probate conrt.

The mile record for bicycle is now l. O5.
This time was made at Brooklyn Wednes-
day by Charles NJ. Murphy, who was paced
by locomotive fitted with wind shields.
A level board track two miles long has
been built between the railroad rails, so
that Murphy has an opportunity to get
under full Roadway before the watch is
snapped on him, and also to slow up in
safety after the mile post has been reached.
This was Murphy's first public trial on
this track, and he is confident that he will
be able to ride a mile in less than a min
ute, Murphy was one of the most noted
professional riders in the country few
years ago, but he has not followed the race
track for two or three seasons.

Deficit of Less Than 100000.
Customs Receipts Have Increased
Largely During the Year War
Against spain Has Cost S23O,OOO, 900.

Customs Receipts Have Increased
Largely During the Year So War
Against spain Has Cost 100000, 900.
1t is regarded as a conservative estimate
that the treasury deficit for the fiscal year
1899, which will close 10 days hence, will
be less than $10,000,000. During the year
there have been two heavy calls upon the
treasury aud one large payment which
could not have been foreseen one year ago
In March 100000 was drawn out to
pay off the Cuban insurgent army, and in
April so, 600, 600 was paid TO Spain in set
Element of treaty obligations. Up TO date
the customs receipts amount TO over $780,
400, 600: from internal revenue S263. J50,-
600 was realized, and from miscellaneous
sources there was received So. 500. 600.
During the whole of the fiscal year le9S
receipts from customs barely exceeded
SAC. 800, 600 and from internal revenue
less than Sill ,000, 600. The total receipts
from all sources amounted to Si0j,32l,
80, while the expenditures aggregated
$443, 36S $50. leaving deficit Of SIS, OIL
247.
This year the expenditures will exceed
those Of last by about Sl65. 100000, while
the deficit will be about So, 600, coo greater
than last year From the closest calcula-
tion that can now be made, the war rev
enue act will realize for the year little
less than Sl000 600, 600. The two items in
that act which have produced more than
10 times as much revenue as any two 9TH
ers are those relating TO documentary and
proprietary stamps
The expenditures up to this time a. gre
gate about 5000 OO0,O0o. OF this amount
S22s 600. GOO was paid out on acquisitions
from the war department, SG4,0O0,000 on
account of the navy, Sl39, eco on ac-
count of pensions, and nearly $40. 600, 600
on account Of interest on the public debt.
The entire cost Of the war against Spain
is roughly estimated at S23O, 100000

by Town Superintendent Cox in few well
chosen words. and the class of 100 was
launched upon the uncertainties of the
future.

The state geologist of Indiana says there
is no doubt but that natural gas is slowly
giving out in that state. The entrance of
the two great pipe lines-the one from
Ohio and the Chicago line-into the 200
miles OF Indiana gas territory means the
beginning of the end for Indiana natural
gas. The supply for factory fuel will not
last more than two or three years, and for
private use not more than five years.

A Fire Insurance swlndIer Convicted.

Frank W. Anthony, the bogus fire insur-
ance swindler, who was arrested in New
York last December upon complaint of L.
S. Hayes, charging him with sending poll
cies into Vermont that were worthless
has Just been convicted in the Brooklyn
courts and sentenced to a years imprison-
ment and to pay a heavy fine. Mr.. Hayes
naturally feels pleased at the outcome of
the affair as Anthony was the head of a no.
torious gang who had taken hundreds of
thousands of dollars in premiums for al
legged companies which did not exist. This
was his second trial, the first resulting in
a disagreement of the jury, they standing
II to one for conviction. The charge upon
which he was tried was that of using the
United States mails for fraudulent pur
poses.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hayes
last December found that Herbert f. Cox
of this village had purchased insurance
policies for $4,000 in three alleged compa-
MES which were worthless, they being fur
nished from Brooklyn, and that they were
held by Moses Miller securing a mortgage
which he held upon the shop. Mr.. Hayes
inf- med Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Cox of the
worthless nature of the insurance and Sc
cured the return of the $3.50 premiums
which had been paid to the broker who
furnished them. He then went to New
York and after considerable difficulty sue
es ceeded in having Mr.. Anthony arrested.
Anthony secured the sharpest lawyers to
be mad and made great fight, but is to
nj, suffer the penalty of his wrong doing as
above

THE decision of Judge Gunster, Of
Lackawanna county, that the giving
of passes to Councilmen by street rail
way companies is unconstitutional
and in the nature of a bribe, and
granting an Notwithstanding the
exercise of franchise by virtue of an
ordinance upon the passage of which
the giving of passes to members OF
Council may have had an influence, il
well calculated to cause surprise and
will undoubtedly result largely in q
change of methods. Probably the
acceptance of passes from the com
panies have never been looked upon
in the light of bribe, although it is
clearly violation of the constitution
and Judge Gunster's opinion is quite
apt to serve as an eye opener.
