Troy. Oct. 13.-The bodies of Mr..
and Mrs. John Izzo of Mechanicville,
who we're found dead carly yesterday
afternoon in the New Revere house
on Broadway, this city. death having
been caused by asphyxiation, were
taken to the home of the young wo-
mans father, John Izzo. The wo-
mans fathe., who curiously bears the
same name as her husband but who
is not near relative, is one OF the
wealthiest men in Mechanicville.
The young couple were married
Sunday at ST. Augustine's church by
the pastor, Rev. Father Scalabrelia,
0. S. A., and after wedding dinner
left on one of the late trains for this
city. The brides maiden name was
Mastesro Izzo and she was Is years
old. She was the daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. John Izzo, ST., OF Mechanic
Vile. She was born in Rutland ana
had been a resident OF Mechanicville
for the past sixteen years.
The couple had registered at the
hotel at an early hour yesterday
morning their intention being, 1t Is
believed, to take one of yesterday
morning trains for Boston. Nothing
was seen of them, however. until
about 1890, when the maid, in going
through the hall smelled gas. Break
ing in a door the couple were found
in bed, clad in sleeping garments.
There was nothing to Indicate that
suicide was intended, as the couple
had apparently retired shortly after
their arrival and had taken no steps
to prevent the gas from escaping
from the room and nothing in their
possession was found which would
warrant this belief.

This means that Dec. 81. 1915 unless
the legislature shall make new appro-
priations hat the state would have
all debts against it paid. Remember
in the first part of this article are
based on standing continuing appro-
priattons as made by previous legis-
latures and none of the state officers
have power to change them.
The levying of so-called mill tax
levtes should cease and the present
ones on the statutes revised. There
should be a budget made up for the
legislature to act on in the way of
appropriations and this budget should
include every institution and every
branch of the state government There
should be a small number Of mon to
get up this budget. three or I'VE, and
none Of them should be members of
any state board or connected in any
way with any institution. They could
do very valuable work.. could go to
gest retrenchments hat might be
made and economies practiced, and
make recommendations that would
be very valuable. (Now when the
legislature meets it is simply a grab
by each institution to get as much
as possible for fear some one else
will get more.) A board Of this kind
would know very close as to The prob
able revenues and Of course would not
make recommendations In excess OF
the income Of the state.
No one of the state officers have
anything to conceal and non Of them
have done anything hat they wish
to v up. In all their actions they
have done that which they believed
to be for the best interests Of the peo-
pie Of the state. and they have been
actuated only by the highest and pur-
est Of motives. The state Is not bank

Sooner or later we must have faced

time to do it is now.

it with an unbiased mind and then to
