BIG TREASURY DEFICIT.
LEGISLATORS LOOKING FOR A PLAN
TO GET MORE REVENUE.
After Having Squandered Millions of
Dollars in Unnecessary Salaries, Jun
keting Tours and Sliady Contracts the
G. O. I*. Now Intends to Increase Taxes.
Ilarrisburg, l'a., May 28. 1807.
j A deficit of nearly two millions by
November 30 is the prospect of the con
| dition of tho state treasury. Some
means will have to be provided for the
prompt relief of the treasury, or the
legislature will not get away from hero
all summer. Money must be provided
for in some shape or form, as the appro
priation bills will be held in committee
until the money to pay them is provided
for. The worst part of the affair is thai
every plan that, is suggested meets with
opposition from some quarter, but some
thing must be. done to raise more money.
The situation is indeed imperative aud
the leaders are at a loss to know what
to do. As a last recourse it is believed
the legislature will be forced to place
an additional mill on tin? personal prop
erty tax for the state only. It is claim
ed this is tho simplest method and the
one from which returns can be most
quickly derived. This condition of the
treasury was brought before tho legisla
ture at the opening of the session, but
little attention was paid to it; it was
allowed to drag along, until now, near
the end of the term, a climax is reached.
There doesn't seem to be any idea of
cutting down expenses to meet the in
creased demands. The majority of the
members do not want to return to their
constituents with a record for increased
taxes, at this lime, and here is the rub.
Last week a bill of nearly sixty thous
and dollars was presented to tho legis
lature to pay for the "Lexow" investi
tion into the I'hlladelplila management.
This investigation was created for poli
cal purposes, lias amounted to nothing,
and to ask the state to pay this hill at
this time is one of the greatest injustices
yet propounded by wily politicians. The
chances are that the hjll will pass, and
if there is much more such legislation
presented and passed by this legislature
tho state will soon be in a fit condition
for a great political upheaval. Why,
look at those celebrated reform measures
that were thrust upon the Republican
state convention in 1805. Not one of
them will over pass this legislature in
their original shape. They were started
on this course through the house, when
during second reading all were so badly
mutilated that had they been allowed
to proceed they would all have been de
feated—and all this by tho very persons
who created them.
Tho governor has vetoed the following
bills: Enlarging the competency of the
wife to testify against her husband;
authorizing the publication of 10,000
copies of the report of the Indian forts
commission; authorizing the controller
of the city of Philadelphia to appoint
his chief clerk as deputy controller; in
creasing tiro salary of tin* members of
the hoard of revision of taxes in Phila
delphia from 34,000 to £O,OOO a year, and
authorizing the organization of societies
to loan money to the poor at the rate of
one per cent w* month.
Governor Hastings has signed the act
to punish breaking into school houses or
school properties; the act prescribed a
penalty of 3100 fine or six months in jail.
Tho act to regulate bone boiling and
fertilizer establishments was also signed,
with that validating bonds in certain
cases; also a bill providing for a house
of detention for juveniles in Phila
delphia.
Several weeks ago I spoke about a
fiftv-thousand-dollar insurance scandal.
Ever since the committee was appointed
to investigate, there lias beon an air of
mystery about tho doings of certain
members of tho senate. There seems to
be a noticeable anxiety op the part of a
number of members to get out of flarris
burg until this stench disappears.
These Dills have passed finally and go
to tho governor for his signature: A
bill providing that no employes of hake
shops shall be compelled to work more
than six days a week; that the plumbing
of bake shops must be in accordance
with the rules and regulations govern
ing house drainage and plumbing; that
the floors must bo cemented aad that all
rooms used for baking purposes must bo
thoroughly ventilated; that no cellar or
basement shall .be used and that sleep
ing rooms muse be kept separate from
rooms where materials am stored for
use; 110 person having consumption or
contagions diesasos shall he employed in
such establishments: The factory in
spector is charged with the enforcement
of the act.
The Weiler bill to protect employes
of corporations in their right to form,
join and belong to labor organizations
also goes to tho governor.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
reports gross earnings for tho four
months ending April 30 to be $3,524,138,
a decrease of $188,835 as compared with
the corresponding period of last year,

$1,030,919, a-decrease of $50,015.
A new bill has been presented in tho
house appropriating one million dollars
to rebuild aud improve the public roads

of the state under the supervisor system
proposed by the Hamilton road bill.
The bill giving the trolley companies the
right of eminent domain was killed.
The bill requiring counties to pay the
eost and expenses of apprehending and
returning a fugitive from justice charg
ed with or convicted of felony was de
feated. The Keator ballot reform bill
also went down. The bill relative to
ihe indemnity bonds given by sheriffs
was defeated. The bill making a uni
form poor system throughout the state
met death also. The bills to prohibit
the public exhibition of hypnotism, mes
merism or braidism, and the supple
ment. to the act of May 23, 1889, regulat
ing the collection of taxes in cities of
the third class, were defeated.
These bills met death in the senate:
An act making it compulsory for hotels
and other buildings to be provided with
lire alarms: permitting Philadelphia to
increase her indebtedness bv 3 per
cent. Nissley.
Hoard of Health Meeting
At the monthly meeting of the Hoard
of Health on Friday evening the silk
mill cess-poo! was again discussed. The
health officer stated lie "had been treated
very courteously by the company, but
that no action, apparently, had yet been
taken in the mutter. The building over
the cess-pool has been closed by order of
the Hoard, and suit against the company
will be entered if the building is used
before the cess-pool is made water-tight.
Messrs. Malloy and Sosnowski were
appointed to wait on the council and re
quest that body to assist the work of the
Hoard of Health by passing an ordinauco
making sewer connections compulsory
wherever possible and have the work
done under the direct supervision of the
Hoard.
Two years ago the same appeal was
made to the council. An ordinance was
then framed by the borough solicitor,
but for some reason did not pass. The
Hoard is confident that the present
members of the council will see the
necessity for a compulsory measure, for
as the amount of surface drainage is
decreased just so far will bo the health
of the borough enhanced. The Hoard
regrets to report that some property
owners have not their own and the in
terests of others enough at heart to go
to the expense of making sewer connec
tions unless they are compelled.
Property owners and tenants are ad
vised to thoroughly clean their cellars
and whitewash the walls. Also, now that
the warm weather is coming, all privy
vaults and cess-pools should bo cleaned
and a disinfectant, obtainable from the
health officer, added.
Another Breaker Burned.
About 1 o'clock Tuesday morning fire
was discovered in the Fuller breaker in
the lower part of Wyoming. The flames
spread rapidly and in a little over an
hour the big structure was in ashes.
The origin of the lire is not known.
The loss will lie about £50,000. The
breaker was built in 1882 by an individ
ual operator named Fuller, from whom
It takes its name. Subsequently it
came into possession of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Company.
After working it a number of years the
I). L. &W. abandoned it. Then it re
mained idle for a number of years.
About a year ago the Wyoming Coal and
Land Company, a Scran ton corporation,
leased the property.
This is the sixth breaker to be destroy
ed by fire in Luzerne county in a little
over a year. A singular thing in con
nection with the burning of the breaker
is that It is the third destroyed in the
same vicinity within a very short time.
First the Mt. Lookout was burned, then
the Mnltby and now the Fuller—all
situated within about three miles of
each other.
Will Return to Anthracite
The Philadelphia and Heading Kail
way Company will shortly make a
change in the fuel used by its passenger
Jpcojpotivcs. Some time ago bituminous
coal was adopted for all engines except
those running Into the Heading terminal
at Philadelphia. Tills proved so objec
tionable to the traveling public that
orders have been issued to return to an
thracite as soon as the necessary supply
of hard coal can be secured. The
freight and coal engines will continue
to use soft coal. If tin- Lehigh Valley
will Lsije. a similar order the traveling
public will be satisfied.

DRIFTON ITEMS.
Tho following is from the Hazleton
Sentinel of Thursday last:
From two officials in the employ of
Coxe Hros. & Co., and men in position to
know, we learn that no new breaker is
to he built in Drifton.
As the first intimation of this groat
improvement was given to the public
through this column, we ask the Sentinel
to keep its eyes open and it will learn
that tho "men in a position to know 11 do
not know all that is transpiring about
them. The present intention of the
powers is to build the breaker and the
plans for the same are being rushed.

From tho White Haven Journal.
At a meeting of the Odd Fellows' Re
lief Association of White Haven, hold
Friday evening, a resolution was adopt
ed requesting tho members who liad re
ceived checks for $33.40 to return the
same to tho association within two
weeks. All the members will comply
with tl|o resolution, as the distribution
of tin? funds among the members was a

2,500,000 Tons Next Month,
TJIO hop"S of the miners tiiiß tjiu coal
trust would permit them to mine more
coal in June Mian has beon allowed dur*
ing preceding months have been shat
tered. The production for next month
has been fixed at 2,590,900 tons. In tho
first six months of t|ie year tho output
will bo less than 10,000,000 tons. How
ever, as the year's requirements will
hardly fall below 40,000,000 tons, tho
companies will have 24,000,000 tons to
produce in the last six months. This is
4,000,000 tons a month, and is as much
as the railroads can handle with ease.
So the future, from July 1 on, holds out
some hope for the anthracite workers.
Memorial Day Celebration.
Cloudy weather on Saturday had some
what of a dampening effect upon the
number of visitors to town to witness
the G. A. R. observance of Memorial
Day. but the weather failed to affect the
spirit of those who had signified their
intention to participate in the demon
stration and exercises. The societies
turned out in tho order published 011
Thursday. Woll-filled ranks wore no
ticeable in every organization on parade.
The foreign societies especially made a
favorable showing in this respect, and
of the 1,200 men in line they had over
two-thirds in their divisions. Six bands
and three fife and drum corps furnished
an abundance of music for the marchers.
The parade throughout was creditable,
and Chief Marshal Drasher and ipds and
the G. A. It. deserve honor for the man
ner in which Freeland paid its tribute
to the deceased veterans.
Tho programme at Freeland cemetery
was carried out in tho order announced
by tho committoo. Chas. Orion Stroh,
Esq., filled tho position of chairman
with ability, while tho singing of the
Davis quartette and the Glee Club and
the playing of the Mandolin Club was
pronounced perfect by musical critics.
Rev. BischofT's opening prayer was
listened to attentively, as was also-the
benediction by Rev. Cooper.
John M. Carr, Esq., was orator of the
day, and his address was worthy of the
occasion. His review of tho gallant
work performed for their country's sake
by the heroes whose memory they were
perpetuating by the observance of
Memorial Day brought back vivid
scenes to tho veterans who stood group
ed about. His praise of the arc'en
patriotism of the men who went to the
front in tho dangerous days of thje ;
sixties met a ready response from tin
audience because the tribute was merit
ed. He also gave to tho Grand Army o'
the Republic the honor due it for its
work since the war. The speaker was
frequently applauded and the address
warmly commended on all sides.
Important Kulinj; for Catholic*.
One of the most significant rulings of
recent years on ecclesiastical matters in
America has just been made by the
pope. The decision, which lias refer
ence to parishes made up of foreigners,
is literally as follows:
I.—Children born in America of for
eign parents whose native language is
not tho English, arc not obliged when of
age to become members of the parish to
which their parents belong: but they
have the right to join a parish in which
tho language of the country—that is,
English—is used.
2. —Catholics not; born in America, but
knowing the English language, have Up
right of becoming members of the parish
in which English is in use. and they
cannot be compelled to submit them
selves to tho jurisdiction of the rector of
a church built for people who continue
to spread the language of a foreign
country.
The evident purpose of Rome is to
make English the language of the church
in America as speedily as possible and
thus to encourage tho development of a
spirit of more pbrfect union among the
members of tho faith. Parishes in which
a foreign language is used are tolerated
as temporary institutions which will dis
appear as soon as the conditions making
their erection expedient will have passed
away.
l'ropuring for Noted Cli uitli men.
