Percentage of Net Debt Has Increased in 108. Interesting Facts in First Report of Com Trefry. Few IteronimendatlsiH Made for Changes In the Laws. Hon William D. T.

Trefry, as commissioner of corporations and taxation commissioner, today forwarded to the general court, in manuscript, his first annual report for the year ending Dec 31, 1809. An analysis of the report of taxes assessed and collected, etc, shows a year of great activity within the commonwealth. The assessments have been much larger, the increase in corporation capital has been striking and the collections have been, perhaps, better than the average. There has also been a notable increase in the valuation of real estate and machinery. The fact that the stock market wits rather strong about May 1 meant a higher return for the state, since the assessment was based on the value of stocks on that day.

The state, in general, seems to have done pretty well, even though a number of towns seem to show that they have not been living within their means, the percentage of net debt having increased in 108 towns during the year. The heaviest taxpayers are the Boston Albany railroad and the Amerlcnn Bell telephone company. The former corporation naya taxes to the amount of about $513,000, and the latter about $500,000. These are the only corporations pay a half-million of dollars in this way. Mr Trefrys report Is interesting, but contains but few recommendations for changes in the laws.

He believes the general court ought to provide for the filling of the vacancy in case anything happens to the commissioner of cor-orations. The lack of i-ome law of this P' kind wasstrongly apparent when Hon "ea Charles Endlcott died last year. No one could act in his place until a new commissioner had been nominated, confirmed and had qualified. The commissioner also wants an amendment of the law of 1884 which provides that foreign corporations must tile a copy of their charter or certificate of organization. He wants the law amended so that said copy must be certified to by the officer of original record.

Corporations generally do this but are not obliged to. A minor recommendation is to the effect that the deputy commissioner of taxation shall have an office by himself. He has none such now. The following figures taken from he commissioners report give the situation as it was Doc 31. 1899: Aggregate of nsseisuinents during the year $5,229,105 37 Taxes of 1M9 paid to Jan 1900...

The authorized net increase in capitalization was $29,148,275. Forty-four towns which had no debt in 1893 have no debt for 1899; 54 towns have no debt this year as against 51 tne previous year. The percentage of net debt has increased in 108 towns.

The gross interesting-bearing debt of the municipalities of the stale was on May 1. 18.39. At what is considered a safe average, namely, 4 percent, $7,048,129 was raised by taxation fot Interest alone. The aggregate net debt of the municipalities for 1899 was $128,051,487, an increase of $6 666,348 over 1898. The gross debt for water works was $49,602,325, with $16,273,022 sinking funds leaving a net water debt of $33,388,503.

SEF.AGO LAKE, Me, Jan IS News was received here at noon today of the shooting cf James Adams, a laborer, of Standish, who was killed at a house in that place last night. It is believed that Adams death was accidental.

The shooting occurred at the house of a man named Emery, who lives alone in a neighborhood that is not thickly-settled. about three and a half miles west of here. Emery, Adams and a man named El well, who belongs in Buxton, were at the Emery house, and it appears that they were handling a shotgun, which in some way was discharged, the charge of shot entering the head of Adams and killing him instantly. It is generally believed that the shooting woe accidental, but sheriff Des-pereaux and Coroner Perry have gone to Standlsh to make a thorough investigation of the affair. It is said that tne gun was in the hands of Elwell at the time' of its discharge.

Adams was about 30 years old. WHERE IS CORNELIUS SWEENEY Prison Commissioners Wish to Know Whereabouts of Paroled Prisoner and If He Is Leading an Honest Life. Where is Cornelius Sweeney? The prison commissioners and the police want to know. Agents of the commissioners and detectives have searched for Sweeney without getting any truce of him. Sweeney is an habitual criminal.

Ten or 12 years ago he was sentenced to the state prison for a term of 35 years, having been convicted for breaking and entering. He became a model prisoner, worked as steadily in the prison as he would had he been working for himself, and behaved himself so well that officials took an interest in him. Last May Sweeney was paroled front' the piison. The condition under which jie was given freedom was that he should report to the prison commissioners each month. He has never been seen at the prison commissioners office, and no word has come from him by mail.

When the doors closed behind him as he left the prison Sweeney became lost. Where he went to no one knows. His failure to report to the commissioners might, if the commissioners were so disposed, send Sweeney back to the prison to serve the remainder of the sentence. But the commissioners are not looking for Sweeney to return him to the prison. They want to know what he is doing, if he quit the profession of a burglar and is endeavoring to lead an honest life.

The parole system is an experiment which the state has been trying four or flv? years. Each man paroled is watched carefully, xhat the commission' ers nay know whether the system is a failure or a success. They are searching for Sweeney to make a study of his case. There is every reason to believe nil ll.at Sweeney is leading a strictly hon-e--t life, the police say. If he had -gone back to his old trade he would have been seen by some policeman who knew him.

This morning an agent of the prison commissioners called at the detective bureau ar.d asked that Sweeney be found if such a thing is possible. His description was given to the detectives, and a watch is being kept for him. Police in other Massachusetts cities will also be asked to make a search. FRIESLANDS ROUGH TRIP. Steam Steering Gear Smashed Vessel Swept by Great Seaa.

NEW YORK, Jan 18 The steamer Friesland, which arrived this morning from Antwerp, came in storm battered and with her steam steering gear smashed. She had passed through a terrific storm, in which the seas went over her in great cataracts. At 12.30 on the morning of Jan 12, when it was blowing "great gur.s" lrom the northwest, the steam steering gear was carried away. The steamer rolled in the trough t)f the seas. The engines were stopped, and in the darkness the crew began the task of shipping the hand gear.

The work was most difficult, on account of the roughness of Jhe sea and the high wind, blowing with hurricane force. In two hours and a quarter she was ready to proceed, and. putting her nose into the storm, resumed her way.v She brought 28 cabin and 443 steerage passengers. Liner Parle in the Water Again. LONDON.

Expecting that the defendant would be examined, quite a number of spectators were in attendance in the court room, but the matter was quietly settled in the office of the commissioner.
