DEFICIT IN TREASURY.
Effect Of Republican Extrayagance
Already Begins to be Felt.

Washington, d. c., May 10.-The
balance sheets of the treasury depart
ment now show an actual deficit The
tide WhlC~- has SO long been favorable
to the administration has turned, and
the wrong side of the ledger last week
indicated an excess Of 1882, 1858 in ex-
penditures over the receipts It is re-
garded as certain that this deficit will
continue to grow during the remainder
of this fiscal year, and by the last day
Of June will aggregate many million
dollars
The fact that the year ending prior
to the national campaign closed with
considerable deficit will be of great
advantage to the democrats. 1t will
be held to demonstrate that republican
extravaganza is plunging the nation
into debt, notwithstanding high taxa
tion and protective tariff
Total expenditures of the govern
ment since July / last, when the pres
ent fiscal year began, have been $780,
113, ,59S; the total receipts, $459, $751;
$40. Expenditures on civil and miscel-
laneous accounts have exceeded those
of last year by more than S1O,0O0O00;
for the navy by $12,00O,O00; for pen
sions by $3,00O,O0O, while $3,O00,O00
has been paid on the $5.OOO,00O loan to

HORSES IN RUINS.
Taken Out Alive From a Burned
New York Building.

New York, May 1O.-Two horses, one
a blooded roadster, the other a big
truck animal, have been taken alive
from beneath the ruins of the Univer-
sal storage house which was burned
last Friday night. They were in the
basement, which was filled with nearly
six feet of water, and apparently had
saved themselves from death by hold
ing their heads above the food and
near small window.
The horses were found by fire pa
trolman sixty hours after the building
was destroyed. The flooring in that
portion of the warehouse, although
piled high with debris, had broken

man Killed Express Mes
Sengers Cut and Bruised.

Greenwich, May 1O-The cause OF
the wreck of the west-bound Adams
Express train at East Porchester early
to-day has not been fully determined
as yet. Judging from the statements
of express messengers, the train was
running at unusual speed when it
passed through the Greenwich station
seventy miles an hour, according to
some estimates. 1t was due in Port
chester at 1:O1 a. M, and was, perhaps
two minutes behind time. At Portches-
ter the train is supposed to take a sid
ing to permit the Federal express,
which follows it, to pass. The switch
for this siding is on the bridge over
the Byram river; and it is supposed
that the train was running at such
speed that it failed to take the switch
properly.
The engine and four cars left the
rails and plunged over the embank
ment at the end of the bridge. Engi-
neer Lawrence keenan, of, Dedham,
Mass, and George Howell, fireman, of
Boston, We're killed. It is believed. the
engineer jumped from the cab. as his
body was found 100 feet away from
the engine. He was apparently in
stantly killed. Fireman Howell was
found on the embankment. pinned be
meath a. section of rail which had been
torn up. He died short time after
he was taken from the wreck.
All the messengers in the express
were cut and bruised. but none serious
ly. The cars were not much damaged
except around the running gear, and
the greater part of the express matter
will probably be saved. One of the
rear cars of the train contained val
liable horse said to be worth $4,000.
The animal was unfnjured.
Trains are sent past the wreck with
only slight delay, but the work of
clearing nup the tracks will probably
occupy the entire day

formed to remain at home until she
should be vaccinated Mr. TuIlar re-
fused to keep the child at home and

school, refused to give the child in
sruction. Following this, the board
of education vacated the rule making

ed that his child receive the attention
and instruction that was given other
children and to make certain on this
point he retained Attorney Phelan, a
commissioner, of the board of educa-
ton, to have an injunction Issued re-
straining Principal Phillips from ignor-
ing his child. The Injunction was ac-
cordingly granted. now the city has
replied, and the next step will, it is
expected be a, demurrer from Attor-
ney Phelan and then the arguments

afternoon that he. will do all he can
