AFTER 32 YEARS.
Charles Ferguson Returns to the
Wife Ho Loft in His Youth-Sho
Supposed Ho Was Dead.
After nn absptirp of thirty-two yenrs
Charles Ferguson has returned to his
wlfo In Wllkps-Hnrre, Mrs. FeiKiison
was rented In her home on Hnnlc stteet,
near Hazle, Tuesday, when an aned,
sray-hnlred man walked Into the loom
and said he was her husband. She hail
been told that her husband was dead
nnd for many years hellevd him so
and took the man to be nn Imposter.
Incidents of a personal nature were
passed between the two and the wom
an became convlnred that the inan
really was her husband. Ferguson
left lis young wife nt SO years of itge.
He return with the weight of years
upon him.
Thirty-two years ago Mr. nnd Mrs.
Ferguson lived on a farm In Wyoming
county, One day Fergusan told his
wife that he was tired of farming nnd
Intended going away to look for work.
When ho left he said that he would be
back In a few days. Uay and weeks
went by nnd nothing was heard or
seen of him, Mrs. Ferguson and her
child, a year and three mouths old,
waited patiently nt the homestead for
the leltirn of the husband and father,
hill there were no tidings and she final
ly look her child and went to live
on a farm In Wilght township, Luz
erne county.
As nothing was heaid about her hus
band she thought he must have met
death In sm maiinej- and twelve
years after his disappearance she mar
lied a Wright township farmer named
.lonathau 15. Willis. Upsides being a
farmer he was also a lumber dealer.
Four children, two sons and two
daughters, nil living with their mother
In Wilkes-linrre were born of this
union.
Seven years ago last Faster one of
the sons went outside of the home In
Wright township nnd wns horrllled to
see his father lying near the stpps
with n ragged wound In the neck and
a shotgun grasped firmly In his hands,
Life was extinct. How he came to his
death wns never found out, but the
family bellevs the gun went off while
he was examining It .
The wife remained on the farm for
some time and then took her four chll
dien and rattle to Wllkes-Harre and
they have been living on Uank street
for some time. The son whose father
Is Ferguson nnd who was an Infant
when the father left, remained In
Wright township when his mother te
moved to Wllkes-Uane and Is now en
gaged In farming thete.
Ferguson said he went away to look
for work and wiote to his wife several
time", hut never received an answer.
He then concluded that his wife did
not want him any longer and decided
not to rettnn home. He worked his
way AVest until he reached what was
then AVashlngton tenltory. Thete he
has been for twenty-seven yea is. He
says be had done well and has accu
mulated some money.
THE DEFICIENCY BILLS.
They Roach a Total of About Nine
Thousand Dollars.
Itecoider Cunnell's clerk, Mark Kd
gar, is hard at work going over thu
dellclency bills of the various depart
ments, which came to the piesent fis
cal ear as a legacy of the fiscal year
which ended the llrst Monday of April.
The total of these bills Is something
like $0,b00, and shows the reckless dis
regard for consequences that was
shown In contracting hills for which
no appropriation had been made.
The law contemplates that an olliee
holder or department heud who ex
pends mine money than Is appropilat
ed fur his department. Mm II be te
spouslble for the deficiency, but coun
cils, after some grumbling, have al
ways come to the lellef of the ol.
clals.
There now awaits the recorder's sig
natuie a resolution passed by coun
cils directing that last year's deficien
cies he charged agxilnst the corres
ponding accounts for this year. To
stmt with, this will almost deplete
certain accounts, and deficiencies at
the end of this year are almost Inevit
able. bun the measure was Introduced
the signature of the recoider was not
neces-nry to make It legal, but It did
not pass finally until tho night of June
20. On the motnlng of that day the
governor signed the "chaser" to tho
"ripper" bill, which gives the rector
tier veto power. What action the re
corder will take with reference to the
resolution Is cuuslng much speculation
In the city hall.
Ojie thing that the recoider has
expressed himself on In no lincettaln
terms is his determination to have
all departments keep their expendl
tuies within thu upporpriutlous.
TREASURY IS EXHAUSTED.
St, Joseph's Society Makes a Call on
Its Contributors.
At yesterday's meeting of St. Joseph's
society, which maintains. St. Joseph's
Foundling Home, It developed that the
treasury has been exhausted with bills

The society asks that Its contributors

cordingly with duo generosity.

city Treasurer's olliee. Threo per
cent wns added September 1, 1900, and
