ance to audi tho county accounts for 1893
Submitted their report to the court this

I. ohem for the succeeding year.
The committee state that from their cx.
4 aminntion 1t appears that in far more
1han four years the receipts Of the county
u have not eecn equal to current expendi-
&nres, and that either the assessment Is
Y faulty or collectors have not made collcc-
n Mona with that pronlptness and thorough

q Tho committee gives SIZE tement OF re-
+ sources and liabilities aud includes among
4 the resources u certificate of indebtedness
Of The Mechanics Loan Association OF
5000 which cannot be found sad which Is
supposed to have been lost or mislaid.
The total resources are stated TOTE Sa3T, :
d7a67, but the committee does MOI think
thnt In view of The shrin Sage Of the
cNunty's courts receivable that the amount
that will b. realized from the RESOURCES
can be safely estimated.
Ths liabilities are stated at S.26 1888 OF.
but on the basis of expenditures in recent
wears 1t Is the opinion Of tho COMMITTEES
that this sum will be considerably in
crehsed.
The committee says that the pres
ent system of accounts is imperfect
and misleading, and that it is OF the
highest Importance that more i'm.
proved methods be introduced in
County Offices.

May Oppose Willis Appointmert

Some friends of United States Senator
kenney are declarin: that he might op.
pose the confirmation of former Congress-
man J. 5. Willis to DO supervisor OF the
census tf Delaware. They say that thcr3
was an understanding that in State
which had no Republican Senator the
Democratic Senator would name tho ap-
pointec, and Mr.. Ksnney had selected ex.
State Treasurer Wilbur II. Burnite. At
tho beginning Of the fight. it is said, Con-
gresham Hoffccker kept hands off, being
Informed that Mr.. kenney would have
the position to fill, but he later received
an intimation that Senator kenney would
be ignored. and then Mr. Hoffecksr sup-
ported cx.Rcpresentative John Sutte fisld,
of Dover, but was not successful. ...,

WRECKER'S
EASY SENTENCE.
Valentine Gets But Six
Years For Stealing
$2O8,OOO

New Brunswick, N. j., July 49, George
N. Valentine gave himself up to tho off
Gers Of tho law on last Friday. at the same
VINE confessing that he had taken large
amount Of money from the funds Of the
Middlesex County Bank Of Perth Amboy,
Of which he was cashier.
An Investigation still In progress shows
tho amount Of money missing to DO at
least sos 600.
To-day without any previous notice,
the defaulting cashier appeared In court
entered plea and was sentenced to two
terms of six ys"rs in prison, which are to
run concurrently. This means that, with
thecustomary allowance for good behavior.
Valentine will be at liberty in u little
more than four years.
The only reason publicly advanced for
this remarkable clemency is that Valen-
tine by his plea kept tho County from
needless expense. There is some talk OF
family influence, and it Is known that
Judge Woodbridge Strong generally in
clines to the side of mercy.
Judge Rice informed the court that his
client was roady to plead. Prosecutor Voor-
hees immediately commenced the reading
of tho two allegations upon which the
trial was hal.
The prisoner pleaded ION vult to both nl-
legations. The amount In the allegation
charging him with emblezzlement from
the Middlesex County Bank was much
smaller than the actual figures, but the
prosecutor waived u third charge for the
full amount.
Mr.. Savage called tho attention OF tho
Court to tho fnct that his client had done
everything In his power to assist the In
stltution in recovering such of its funds
as were not irrevocably gone.
Prosecutor Voorhees, at once moved for
sentence. Judge Strong called upon the
prisoner, Valentine dried his eyes and
stumbled to his feet. He staggered as he
walked across the few feet separating his
chaltfrom point to where he could stand
before tho Judge. He leaned upon q table
to supDost himself.
THREE INCENsED DEPos IToRs.
There is more than u poss: billty that
some, OF tho 6cDostors may nos wait for
the Gland Jury to meet but will institute
action uginSt the officers Of tho bank III
once In / he criminal courts. John II. Gro
CORY, Max Goldberg and Crosby & Hill are
depositnrs who have cons ulted lawyers and
VINO say they ure not content to havo
valentino alone punished.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY

Two attempts were made early this
morning to gain an entrance into tho
residence OF Richard Patzowski at the
cornur Of Delaware avenue and Jefferson
street.
The Pa'zowski family has been absent
from Wilmington for some tiino past az
they are spending the summer at Caue
May. During their absenc, their residence
has been securely fastened up and all
doors and windows connected by burg
lar alarm.
A private wa Gilman has also been hi rod
tn watch the house at night during the
summer months. About 30 o'clock this
morning the people In tho neiehborhood
of the house " Gro alarmed by tho ringing
Of the burglar alarm.
An inve, tgation OF the premises failed
to rovsal the cause. The watchman could
not be seen around tho house at that time,
Hulf an hour later tho burglar alarm rang
once more
Evidently tho burglars thought that
after the first investigation everyone had
gone to bed. An investigation will be
male. Tho burglars had tried to open q
second story window and in that way
caused the alarm to ring.
