Washington, April 7,-From the last
dally statem.-nt Issued by th. treasury
department It nppwirs that tho expen
ditures for the current fiscal year to
date, of aso days, imve exceeded tne re
celots lv SI2.:9,41tO, tho totals standing
ExDemlltuVes. SlWiSC.ttSC; receipts,
fcM2.093.1ttiW
These IlKures, which embody more
than three-fourths or the llseal year,
enow that the receipts are runnltiK at
the rate of piCi.OOO a day and the ex
penditures at the rate of $l.ori.oOO a
duy. If the same ratio obtains for the.
balance of the fiscal year, the ac
counts would stand: Kxpenilltures,
IS7O.475.0OO; receipts, JJ15.723.000.
This would leave an excess of expen
ditures over receipts of $55,000,000. The
expenditures are pared down to the
lowest limit of economy consistent with
fixed appropriations made by law and
ore likely to be Increased rather than
diminished. The Increases In this fiscal
year have arisen from two principal
sources, viz.:AppropriatIons by the last
congress made Immediately available
and the quarterly Interest payments on
the $165,000,000 of United States bonds
Issued within fourteen months to pro
tect'aml strengthen the treasury gold
reserve. So far this month the ex
penditures on the "Civil and miscel
laneous" account, the account that car
ries the principal Items mai'e immedi
ately available by congress, are $500,000
in excess of the corresponding period
last month.
It is- therefore to increase receipts
that the treasury must turn to bring the
treasury receipts and expenditures
closer together and bear out the es
timate laid before congress which
claimed that at the end or the fiscal
year the deficiency will then only be
J20.000.000.
Cunse for Hope.
Important statistics yesterday made
public by the bureau of statistics hold
out a hope that the Increased revenues
from sugar duties may come up to the
estimates. Indications of a general re
vival In commercial prosperity are also
pointed to as promising equally satis
factory results from other sources of
revenue. The question ns to what
amount of money will or will not be do
rived from the, Income tax seems to be
the only Important doubtful factor left
m tne treasury calculation, anff-thls can
only be solved when the supreme court
makes public Its decision in an au
thoritative way. This will probably be
done tomorrow, but it is by no means
an absolute certainty that the decision
will be then rendered.
The treasury has now a total working
capital of $157,000,000, with $1S,00(),000
still owing from the bond pyndicate.
Treasury officials therefore think that
the treasury will not become em
barassed even If no revenue from the
Income tax is derived, and that It will
not be necessary to Issue any more
bonds before congress will assemble In
next pecember and provide revenue
Irom other sources.
CLOUDS OF V, AK IX EUROPE.
Emperor William Threatens to Toko t'p
Arras Against Kiissla-Swedcn and Nor
way to Fight.
Berlin, April 7. The maturing con
flict between Norway and Sweden has
given rise to strange reports in Berlin.
Since Tuesday It has been a common
statement that, should the two king
doms resort to force, Emperor William
would take up arms rather than permit
the threatened interference of Iiussla,
He Is said to have promised King Oscar
as much. Although the official circle
discredits this report, the mere thought
of It has sufficed to fasten general at
tention upon the swift course of events
in the Scandinavian peninsula.
Yesterday's dispatches from Stock
holm, while not confirming the predic
tions of war, describe the situation as
very serious. Russia's attitude Is in
doubt, but as usual she Is suspected of
designs upon Norway.
With the alarmist rumors of the em
peror's promise to King Oscar has
come a batch of gossip as to the rela
tions between Pt. Petersburg and Ber
lin The twn murts nre RnnnoHed to be
less friendly now than a few years ago.
The statement that the czar and czar
ina will not come to Berlin this year Is
regarded as additional proof of the es
trangement, although, as the czarina's
accouchment' Is expected to take place
early In September, It Is dlflicult to see
how the visit could be made even if
Russia and Germany were on the verge
of an alliance.

published Interview with the same gen

second, a minister with more gullibil

anxiously willing to publish it.
"For the sake of the Christian re

GOVERNOR HAD A GUN.
As the Result of Disgusting Insults lie
Produced the Weapon.
Little Rock, Ark., April 7. Governor
James P. Clarke and Representative W.
R. Jones, of Morion county, had an
altercation In the lobby of Gleason'3
hotel this afternoon, which came near
resulting In a very serious affair. Yes
terday when the charges of bribery
were made In the house of representa
tives against certain members in con
nection with the railroad commission
bill, Mr. Jones rose to a question of
privilege, and stated that Governor
Clarke was responsible for the charges;
that he had gone about In the dark, like
an assassin with a knife up his sleeve,
stabbing In the back men who were his
peers In every respect.
About 2 o'clock this nfternoon Gov
ernor Clarke called at Gleason's hotel,
where he met Jones In the lobby. He
requested a private Interview with
Jones In order that he might have an
understanding with him. Jones replied
that he would go nowhere with him,
and that if he had any business with
him he could transact it where they
were. This angered the governor, and
he spat in Jones' face. Jones spat
back at the governor, who drew a large
pistol, but was prevented from shoot
ing by several bystanders. Clarke was
arrestees by a constable, but was re
leased on his own recognizance. The
governor will plead guilty tomorrow In
a justice court to assault.

Jacksonville. Fla., April ,7. Brit
Glenn, commonly known as "Kid
Charlie," a negro gambler and desper
rado, ran amuck here early this morn
ing, nnd us a reHiilt two men are dead
and three wounded, one of them prob
ubly futal. The killed are: Napoleon
Stucks, negro porter, shot In the throat
and his neck broken; Kdward Minor,
policeman. Tho wounded are: Jim
demons, a negro; James Minor, lieu
tenant of police, and u negro named
Black. Clemens will probably die.
Stocks was tho first man killed by
Glenn, and It wus while resisting arrest
that he killed Policeman Minor and
wounded the others. Stucks was killed
about 1 o'clock this morning in tho
"Rabbit Foot" saloon, a notorious negi 3
dive on WeRt Bay street.
A crowd of negroes were In the saloon
and Gleen drew a pistol on another
negro. Stucks Jokingly said that he
would take the pistol away from Glenn,
and advanced toward him. lie passed
by Glenn, however, and went toward a
room In the back of the saloon. As he
neared the door he turned around, and
Glenn pulled out his pistol and fired,
and Stucks fell dead. No words passed
between the two men, and no quarrel
of any kind was heard.
Glenn turned and lied, pursued by a
lurge crowd of negroes who soon lost
sight of him In the darkness.
The Hunt for Glenn.
Shortly afterward Lieutenant Minor,
Sheriff Howden und other officials he
can an organized hunt for Glenn, and
about 5 o'clock this morning they start
ed their game, "ling Jim," one of the
negroes subsequently shot, was In
front of the pursuers and he found the
negro hiding on a lighter in a creek.
The murderer ran, followed by a crowd
of people. Glenn was finally run down
in a barn, where he took refuge in a
loft behind a pile of lumber, which
formed an effectual barricade. Lieu
tenant Minor called oh Glenn to sur
render, and the negro answered with a
shot. The officers returned the fire,
emptying their pistols, but the negro
was effectually protected by the lum
ber.
'Rag Jim" was hit In the thigh by a
bullet from Glenn's pistol. Policeman
Minor was shot-through the heart and
killed. A littl bootblack cntejed the
door, only to receive a bullet In his
thigh, which, however, did not Inflict
a serious wound. The fusllade had now
continued for ten minutes and of the
four men who had entered the barn to
arrest Glenn, one was dead, and two
were wounded. Lieutenant Jim Minor
(another police officer), however, was
still In the barn firing at Glenn, who lay
In safety behind the lumber. Sudden
ly Glenn rose up and fired and dropped
back behind the lumber. Then Lieu
tenant Minor felt his ankle give way
and knew he was wounded.
Desperado Surrenders.
But the shot that wounded the lieu
tenant had exhausted Glenn's ammuni
tion, and the next moment he called
out; "Lieutenant, I will give up, If you
won't let them kill me."
"All right," replied Minor, "throw
down your pistol and come down."
The negro obeyed and the next min
ute Lieutenant Minor led the prisoner
from the barn.
The officer led the negro toward the
city hall, which was more than a mile
away, followed by an immense crowd
clamoring for the man's blood. Near
the city jail Policeman Holland ap
proached with pistol drawn, swearing
he would kill tho negro and avenge his
brother officer. The lieutenant placed
his pistol against Holland's head and
said: "This man Is a prisoner. If you
shoot him I will blow out your brains."
So Lieutenant Minor brought the negro
safely to Jail.
This was 8 o'clock, and by 9 there
were rumors that a mob was forming
to storm the jail and lynch tho negro.
The mob was said to be composed of
negroes as well as white men, as the
former were enraged over the killing
of Stucks by Glenn. This rumor proved
to be untrue, but the olliclals In order
to run no risk, removed the murderer
secretly from the Jail to St, Augustine,
where he was placed .In jail. Brit
Glenn, the murderer, is about 35 years
old and Is noted among the negroes as
a desperate man.
BUXCOEP THE BANKERS.
Unsophisticated Wllkes Tlnrrcuns Loan
Money to a Strange Yonng Sinn of
Pleasing Address.
Wllkes-Barre, April 7. Thomas S.
Shaw, alias Ralph F. St. John, stepped
Into the Wyoming National bank on
Friday last and asked the cashier if he
could open an account with them. On
being Informed that the bank was open
for business he then went on to say
that he had $2,ti00 on deposit In the
Central National bank, of New York,
and would yke to make a draft for
that amount. The draft was made and
Shaw subscribed the name of Ralph F.
St. John. A few minutes later he left
the bank, and returned on Saturday
morning. Stopping up to tho cashier's
window he Informed him that he was
In need of $25. His Btory being a plausi
ble one and his general appearance be
ing very good the money was ad
vanced to him. He thanked tho cash
ier and departed.
The draft given the day before was
sent to the bank's correspondent In New
York, but up to this time no reply had
been received. Later in the day a tele
gram was received from New York
Mating that no such a man ns Ralph F.
St. John, was known and that tho draft
was bogus. A warrant was procured
and St. John was found at the Harvey
hotel by a detective, who placed him
under arrest. On being confronted
with the telegram In the officers' room
In the bank, he asserted that there was
a mlBtake somewhere, but before he
left the place he broke down and said
that his name was not St. John but
Thomas S, 'Shaw. Ho refunded $24 and
begged for mercy. The bank officials,
however, determined that he should be
punished, and In default of ball he was
sent to Jail,
The prisoner before being locked up
said that ha was 21 yenrs of age, and
that he had been admitted to the New
York bar as a lawyer In 18'j2.

MIRPEK o7aTiLSEK.
Henry llonncku's Head Is Smushcd to a
Jelly by Unknown Thugs Who Wore in
Search of Plunder.
Altoonit, Pa., April 7. Henry Bon
neku, aged 63 years, an eccentric Ger
man and a reputed miser, was found
murdered this afternoon In a room he
occupied at 1702 Sixteenth street. Some
friends called upon Ronneka this after
noon, nnd receiving no response to their
knocklngs, looked through tho window
of tho room In which Bonneka lived.
They saw him stretched upon the floor
with his head battered almost to a Jelly,
and lying In a pool of blood. The police
were notified and they broke in the
room door. On the floor wab found a
bloody hatchet and a club clotted with
blood and brains.
Bonneka had been employed for the
past twenty-five yenrs In the shopB of
tho Pennsylvania railroad here. He
was almost a recluse and lived alone
In one room. He was reputed to have
considerable money hidden in his room
ami, as he was very abstemious in his
habits, and spent but little, the report
of hidden wealth was generally credit
ed here. That to possess the suppoJ
wealth of the aged German was the mo
tive, for the crime Is evident from the
condition of the room. The pockets of
all Bonneka's wearing apparel were cut
out, the lining ripped open, the carpet
torn from the floor, and the mattress of
the bed cut to pieces.
It Is not known whether the murder
ers obtained any money, nnd there is
no clue to their Identity. The coroner's
Jury this afternoon rendered a verdict
of murder by parties unknown.

The Hut-bund Missing. (
Bpeclnl to tho Scranton Tribune.
Plttnton, April 7. The borough of
Hughestown, a miburb of the city of
Plttston, wus thrown Into a great state
of excitement this quiet Sunday morn
ing at 9.20, on the discovery of the
corpse of a murdered woman, whicn
was found at the residence of George
Wliullsh, on Center street.
Neighbors were summoned to the
scene und Identified the body as tlmt'of
Elizabeth Wlndlsh, the wife of George
Wlndlsh. Several stories us to who hud
committed the deed were current. A
jury were empanelled by Coroner James
Gibbons and sent to view the scene of
the murder. The Wlndlsk family were
composed of the father, mother, and
three children, George Frank and So
phia, uged respectfully 17, 12 und 10
years.
Wlndlsh and his wife had been miss
ing for several days. Their absence
caused no comment, as they had often
before left home without warning and
remained away for several days.
This morning the oldest son, George,
became suspicious and began a search
about the premises. He soon discov
ered, by peeping through tho blinds
from the outside, a bulky object In an
unused parlor, covered over with a
Brussels carpet.
A liliiistly Spectacle-
The neighbors were notified of tho
youth's suspicions. J. F. Smalts being
tho first upon the scene, forced an en
trance to the room by an Inner door,
which had always been kept locked and
which the children had not been
allowed to enter.
A ghastly sight met the gaze of the
Intruders as the carpet was raised.
Thero, laying on the lloor, face down
In a pool of blood, was the corpse of
the murdered Woman.
Several cuts were found about the
head and face. The walls and celling
of the room In which the murder had
been committed were spaftered with
many blood stains, giving evidence that
t terrible struggle must have occurred.
Upon further search the clothing usual
ly worn by Wlndlsh was found blood
stained In a bed room. The pants had
been secreted beneath the mnttress of
the bed; the rubber boots were found
under the bed, and a blood-stained vest
was found hanslnir inside out on a chair
near by.
A cjiisel nearly eighteen Inches long
and one and a half Inches wide was
found covered with blood between the
covering of the bed.
The last time Mrs. Wlndlsh was seen
alive was last Thursday noon at 12
o'clock.
The Supposed Murderer.
Wlndlsh had been for many years
employed as minor at No. 8 shaft of the
Pennsylvania Coal company. About
two weeks ago Wlndlsh gave up his
work and had been making plans to
take one of his frequent trips.
He had made several efforts to se
cure money by mortgaging the little
home, to which his spouse objected.
He was of German descent and has
made several trips to the old country,
where he would purchase fancy bas
kets, etc., which his wife would sell
from door to door, nnd thereby be
came well known to the people of this
vicinity.
Wlndlsh, the husband of the mur
dered woman, was, lust seen at his
home soon after 1 o'clock on Thursday.
He came out of the house attired In a
light gray suit of clothes, a blue over
coat and a Fedora hat. He walked
rapidly away from his home toward
the central part of the city, where he
was again noticed about 3 o'clock. Tho
children were absent from the house
at thut hour. The boys were nt work nt
No. 8 breaker and the daughter was at
school. Upon their return home they
found the house deserted, but did not
pay much attention to the absence of
their parents, as they had hoard them
speak of a contemplated visit to Hnxle
ton. In the oven of the kitchen stove
tho children found a loaf of bread that
had been burned to a crisp. They bor
rowed food of the near neighbors and
Beemed to think that there wns nothing
unusual In tho disappearance of their
parents.
Evidently Premeditated.
Examination of the house todas
showed that the fight between Mr. and
Mrs Wlndlsh must have commenced In
the dining room, as there were blood
stains on the wall. The murderous
husband hnd evidently pursued the wo
man Into the parlor, where the work
was finished.
Drs. McFadden and Barrett viewed
tbe body and found many wounds on
the head sufficient to have caused
death. There was a. f otind on the tem
ple; on the fack of the head; one ear
was cut nearly off nnd the skull was

CLARENCE AVAKBECK'S CASE.
Detectives Unearth a Lot of Stolen Goods
Near Montroso-Jewelry by tho Pailful
and Other Articles Unearthed.
Speclul to tho Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, April 7. Detective Rob
ert Stephenson and William Morgan,
agent for the United States Ex
press company at Binghamton,
are In town, In search of goods
supposed ' to have been stolen
from the Express company by Clarence
Warbeck, who has been employed as
a porter and wagon man for the com
pany at Jersey Cit:. They have Just
returned from the home of James Fox,
Warbeck's father-in-law, who lives in
Franklin township, three miles ' dis
tant from Montrose.
A thorough search was made, and a
tin pall half filled with cheap Jewelry,
a sliver water pitcher and other articles
which are alleged to have been stolen
by Clarence Warbeck were found.
Mr. Fox denies that he knew of the
existence of these articles. He has not
as yet been arrested for being implicat
ed in the robberies and it is thought
that he will not be, as his reputation Is
that of an honest man and his charac
ter Is beyond reproach.
The Tribune correspondent saw
James Fox this morning. He Is the
fnther-ln-law of Clarence Warbeck, the
man arrested in Jersey City last Tues
day for robbing the United States Ex
press company. Mr. Fox's reputation
for honesty and integrity is unques
tioned and it Is partly through him
that the goods which Warbeck sent
hero to different members of the family
were recovered by Detective Stephen
son and Agent Morgan?
"Last fall," said Mr. Fox, "my daugh
ter, who was working in Binehamton
drove to my hou3e In company with
Clarence Warbeck. I was not at home
and my wife tells me that almost as
soon as Warbeck entered the house he
asked her permission to marry our
daughter. In. my absence she refused
to grant his request. The next morn
ing the young people returned to Bing
hamton and were married in the even
ing. I.nvish with His Spoils.
"Warbeck soon obtained a position in
Jersey City; his wife returned home.
The first package 1 ever received from
him contained a gun. It was an ele
gant double barrelled shotgun and no
local gunsmith could put it together.
My brother nnd I did. however, when
we received a diagram and instructions
from Warbeck.
"We next received a rifle and shortly
afterwards a trunk, which wns so
heavy that two of us had hard work to
lift It. I was suspicious that some
thing was wrong when other packages
came.
"About a week after a trunk came,
Warbeck arrived here and bmke it
open; it contained law books. He said
there was some mistake about It'yind
asked me to take it to Conklin station,
on the Delaware, Itckawanna and
Western railway, and ship It back to
Jersey City. This I did nnd now hold
the receipt for it.
"At Christmas he gave his wife and
my wife and myself each an elegant
gold watch and also chains. Jle ex
plained the matter by telling us of a
wealthy uncle In Baltimore. I knew
nothing of the matter or where he got
the goods until he was arrested, but
told A. Welsh, on whose farm I live,
and through him Mr. Pope learned of
my suspicions.
"I regret the publicity of the matter
and with my wife and daughter feel
deeply the disgrace.
"We never saw much of Warbeck,
but he was a very pleasant man, and
made friends with all our family, for
at Christmas time he gave nineteen
gold rings among them."
