 Year Ending September 30.

An abstract from the report of State TreasurerCostello Lippitt for the ds- cal year ending September 30, 1911, gives the usual table showing receipts and expenditures for a decade. The re- ceipts for the past year were $s,229- 653.aS, against SS,054,9410 06 for the pre- V1ous year. The receipts were more than twice the 1a06-7 receipts ($4,962,- S17.46) and more than two and one- half times the receipts for the year which ended in 1902 (s3,275,11 it should, however, be said in this connection that the figures of receipts for the past few years represent more than the actual revenues of the state, the normal income being increased by temporary loans, as follows: 1909, $400,G00; 1910. s1.715,000: 1911, s1,- 150,G00. In the receipts of the last three years are also included proceeds of bond sales as follows 1909, s1.- 100000; 1910, s1,020.o00: 1911, s1,- o44,ooo. The steam railroads con- tributed s1,337, 7S7.47 to the receipts of the past year and the treasury re- ceived $1,125,051.70 in inheritance taxes.
 The expenditures for the year end ed Sept. 30, 1911. were $9,017, ,924.17, an excess of $7S8,270.73 over the re- ceipts, it being the fourth consecutive year in which the receipts have fallen behind the expenditures The states expenditures are now about three times the amount at the beginning of the ten-year period, the expenses for the year 19e12 having been $3.113,- 6S75a. The figures of expenditures of recent years, it should be explained, are swollen by the amounts paid tn wipe out temporary loans and to re- tire bonds. Last year SS74.000 was raid to retire bonds and temporary loaps of s1,415,00o were paid, while there were temporary loans of S200, 900 paid in 19eS-9 and $500.000 in 1909-1o

DAN MURPHY IS
 AT HIS HOME HERE
Tells About the Fly That Caused So
 Much Talk in the 1o- Inning Game.

Eight Fielder Daniel F. Murphy of the worlds Philadelphia champions, the Philadelphia American league team, returned here Saturday night, accompanied by Mrs Murphy, pre- pared to spend probably most of his vacation season at their home here, al though his plans for the fall and win ter are not definitely settled.
 Dan was bearing his honors lightly as q member for a second time of the team that has won the highest base ball honors of the world, and when seen at his home on Sunday evening a number of "reminiscences of the re- cent series suggested themselves. Nat urally enough the tai drifted around to that eventful fly caught by Danny in the tenth inning of the game in New York on which New York man was able to score from third with the winning run for the Giants. By some of the base ball writers Danny has been put on the grill for what they claimed was an error of judgment in not seeing that the ball was curving and would drop foul
 "Curving. was ite" said Danny. 'sIt had stopped curving and was dropping straight and l was waiting for it. l had plenty of time to take my eyes only had to step back a step or two to get it and it was fair by at least three, feet. I gave it all the chance to drop it would take and caught it low down and in front of me.
 "McGraw came over and asked me after the game if it was fair or foul.
 T told him fair
 " That's what I thought McGraw said.
 That ball that Murray le drop in the next game was different. He was running to get it, but shied off because he was afraid of smashing into the bleachers.'
 One of the Philadelphia 'bleacherites, Murphy said. is minus a few front teeth, but has a souvenir which will always remind him of one of the games. It is the ball which Murphy pounded out when he made his first The sphere flew over the temporary full in the face and knocking out his teeth. Some of the attendants wanted him to return the ball but he claimed that he had given up enough to be allowed to keep it, and they saw it that way, too.
 Murphy said the team had one un- pleasant experience in New York af- ter they lost the 10-inning game to the Giants. While coming away from the grounds, the crowd pelted their taxicab with stones or anything else that came handy, breaking the fass and driving some of the players to seek shelter by crouching on the floor of the taxis. One man grabbed the cap from Captain Davis head and ran away with it.

THOUGHT MAN DEAD
 IN CAR STATION.
Bert BrambIe Had Bad Spell Which
 Nearly Ended His Life.

About 6 o'clock Sunday evening in the waiting room of the Connecticut company, in Franklin square, Bert Bramble of Hallville was doAbled up with pain. Supposing that he was fooling, many therein were laughing at him until it was seen that he was suf- fering greatly. His groans could be heard for some distance.
 One woman, who has had some expe- rience as a nurse, had him lie down on the bench. and supposing that it was a case for the police the starter notified police headbuarters. When the police men arrived he had ouited down, was apparently pulseless and thought to be dead. Dr. D. J. Shallan was immedi- ately called, and he came al once. By that time AIr. .Bramble was beginning ito rbeath and move, and he soon re- yiyed after a hyperdermic injection. He was able to give his name and some friends helped him aboard the 6.45 Westerly car and accompanied him home. He was very weak and suffering quite a little as he left here. He said he he'd never had such spell before.
