TAYLOR AND BROWN,
Condemned Murderers May Remain
in Frederick Until Execution Day.

Condemned Murderers May Remain
in Frederick Until Execution Day.
Armstead Taylor and John Alfred Brown
the colored men under sentence of death in
Maryland for the murder of Louis Rosen-
stein and his WIFE, will probably not be
taken to Rockville from Frederick until
next Thursday evening, possibly Friday
Brown has received a letter from w. E
Belt now resident of Chicago. He owned
Brown during the days of slavery. In the
letter he informed the condemned man of
his belief in his innocence, and also told
him he would do all in his power to save
him from the scaffold. When the letter
was turned over to Brown the guards in
formed him that he need not hope for a
stay of execution or executive clemency of
any kind. Brown was somewhat excited
over the receipt of the letter, and while he
Is preparing Tor death he has a hope that
his former owner will be able to do some
thing for him. 1t is believed from the tenor
OF the letter that Mr.. Belt only recently
learned OF the case against Brown
The Rev Father Coleman, who has been
so attentive to Brown, still visits him, and
it is believed he will go with him to Rock
vile and be present at the execution next
Friday. Taylor has intrusted his spiritual
matters to the Rev. Osborne Ingle rector
of All Saints Episcopal Church. He is con-
tlnually telling his guards of dreams about
the last event on earth in which he will
participate. He talks but little of the muir
der now, except to express sorrow for his
crime.

AUDITOR FOR THE TREASURY
Annual Report Showing the Accounts
Settled Last Year.
An Increase Over the Number of the
Previous Year-Leaves of
Absence.

w. E. Andrews, auditor for the Treasury
Department. submitted his annual report to
the Secretary of the Treasury today.
Mr.. Andrews says that to expedite the
proper examination of accounts the audit
ing clerks are separated into four divisions
customs, public debt, internal revenue and
miscellaneous. The customs division au-
diteu and settled 11.15G accounts during the
year; the public debt division lob, includ-
ing 2,UlT,GSS vouchers, in comparison with
S41 accounts and 1,122,2S vouchers for the
preceding year; internal revenue, 5,501 ac-
counts settled, an increase of over 40 per
cent over the year 1893; miscellaneous .,1O2,
a large increase over the previous year.
The total number of accounts settled by
all four divisions were "a, s25, involving 3d.
Of,3o3,955. For the preceding fiscal year
the settlements were 81 ,935 and the amount
involved $2,004, 336,072, an increase for the
year of $3.50 settlements and 81, 042. 80, SS:5.
The number of accounts unsettled at the
close of the year was 4,495.
Absences and Sick Leaves.
In concluding his report Mr. Andrews has
this to say regarding leaves of absence and
sick leaves:
Section of the legislative act approved
March Is, 1898, provides that the head
OF any department may grant thirty days
annual leave with pay in any one year to
each clerk or employee and that such leave
may, on account of sickness, be extended
in the discretion of the head of the depart
ment, with pay, not exceeding thirty days
in any one case or in any one calendar
year
In the absence of an official record, it
is frequently, though Incorrectly, assumed
that sixty days with pay are taken by
every clerk and employee every calendar
year.
During the calendar year 1S9S there
We're 100 clerks and employees on the roll
of this office. The general average of both
annual and sick leave was thirty-four days,
the average annual leave being twenty
seven and five-tenths days and the aver
age sick leave six and tive-tenths days.
The maximum period of sick leave, thir-
ty days. was granted to only four clerks,
whose record shows that they had seldom
been absent on account of sickness during
several years of faithful service.
The number of clerks and employees alb
sent more than thirty days, ~; less than
thirty days, Al; just thirty days, 4.
There Is comrnendable disposition to
avoid the record of sick leave as far as
possible"
