NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. NE A DVEltTISEMENTS. STATE FINANCES. The Legislative Committee Find Everything O. K.

The legislative joint commission has completed its examination of the books, accounts, etc of State Treasurer Bain and State Auditor Sauderlin. It is unnecessary to say that the accounts, in both departments were found to be carefully and properly kept, and that the commission has so stated, officially. To the editor of the Chronicle they personally expressed words of the highest commendation of the State Auditor and State Treasurer, aud of the perfect system and correctness which prevails in tbe affairs of both offices. It is remarkable that in transactions amounting to two million dollars not a mistake ot so much a one cent was uade. And yet such is the case.

It in thander tones of the value of Democratic rule and of the efficiency of Dean cratic officials. It is seldom that a State is so blessed with public servants as in the persons of Treasurer Ba.n and Auditor Sanderlin aud their competent assistants. The following were the receipts of funds during the fifCil year ending November 30, 1889: Educational fund 12,265. 56; public fund, 31. In the public fund receipts are dividends from the North Carolina Railroad Company, penitentiary earnings (which by law of the last General Assembly ate now paid into the State Treasury) $147.4.54 81; tax ou fertilizers, 37,500 Icese are considered special funds and amount in the aggregate to 346,054 61, which being deducted from, the above meatioued receipts leaves 629,806 GO as the revenue deiived from geuerai sources.

The disbursements were as follows: educational 1und, 30,781 iro; public fund, 1.013,081 26. The educational fund disbursements contain an apportionment of school funds amounting to nearly 30,000 which the Siate of Education oider-ed to be distributed' to the public schools. Trie whole apportionment of this fund was ail of whica has not been called for. The public fund disbursements contain the' following i-peei-ii expenditures: agricultural departuiur, b-id the amount of tax on 37.500; interest on 6 per cent. bonds, payable out of dividends from N.

.11. 155. ISO; penitentiary, as realized from its earnings, 123,369 20; these special expenditures aggregating 3W, 9i'J. 2o Deducting tiiis amount-frutn -tin ror.il of expenditures, there remains 097,01 JO, as the disbursements for ail tue ments, the payment of interest on the 4 per. cent, debt, all the -charitable aud penal institutions of the State; the General Assembly, and pensions to federate soldiers.

The balances in the of the treasurer ate as follows; Eiucational fund, jl 1,923.51, public iud, total In iew of the loss of the drummers' tax of nearly 100,000 annually, by rea-sou of the decision of the 'United States Supreme Court, and the reduction in 187 of the tax levy, the treasurer has not been able to meet all the demands of ihe institutions aud the penitentiary duiiug the RALEIGH, N. 25, 1889.

i. Seymour, judge presiding, also complimented him. Evangelist Fife closed his meetings in Raleigh- last; The services were largely attended and a.number-of persons gave him their hands in token of their conversionjand many more still in the promise that they would lead a new life. He was very earnest in his work. Ex-Gov.

Holdea, who heard him often, wrote of him while he was here: "There is not a trace of malica in the man. His heart is aabig as "all out of doors." He is as brave as John Knox and as humble and as nder as Summerfield. He is certainlv doing great good in Raleigh, not only by-the conversions and changes ia life he has but by his example of candor and plain speaking in regard to sin in. all its forms. He is one of the mouthpieces of God "in the midst of a wicked and adulterous generation." When he leaves Raleigh he will carry with him the good will and the blessings of thousands of Christians."

Parties, two negroes employed on the R. fe D. gravel train. They quarrelled over whiskev and Jim Henderson shot and killed Douglass Holt, and fled. The eleven year old son of Ivey Dor sett, of Randolph county, was fatally shot by a negro lad one day week.

They were playing with a It( was dis charged, aud the bullet passed ihrough the boy's lung. At Henderson a few days ago the dead body of an infant was found at a tobacco warehouse. Its throat had been cut in a manner which showed some familiarity with surgery. An investigation is' now in progress, but no cue has yet been discovered. Some time ago Maj W.

A. Guthrie purchased the Durham Street Railway, which was sold uuder mortgage, payiug 3,340 tor it. It is now Htu.ounccd that he has sold, the property to the Pennsylvania Construction Company, of Philadelphia, for 25, 000. A very strange and fatal occurred a day or. so ago near Gibs Richmond county.

The children of Mr." Sam uel Huggins had made holes in a large piie of seed cottotj. A five-year-oid boy went into one of these holes, which was so deep that, he could not get out. He was not uoticed for some time. He was founa by his parents dead from suffocation. Ju'ius Creworo, a young miiti employed in a cotton fac-ory in Randolph county, was killed in a most horrible manner one-day last week.

Civwbro was a' card-hand, and while doing some work over a large card-cylinder he fell np jii it and the sharp card -teeth tore his Hesh terribly, causing almost instant detth It is said all the, clothing was snatched from his bo ly and that his mutilated corpse presented a most ghastly appearance. The people in socm- sections of Guilford county are much stirred up ou accouut of women missionaries who recently rnade their appearance in that county. A few tvghts ago, so writes a correspondent, trie pretty young daughter of Farmer llmry Coleman stole away from her home intending to leave with one of the mi-sior i- nes, but her tatner got wine; of ihe -ri. ir and soon overtook uer. The yirl Cir ri'ed back to her home and the Mormons given some advice in mighty plaiu words.

4 i The Governor has commuted the death sentence of Bill Alexander (col. to imprisonment for life. Hi; convicted of burglary in Sfeefclouburg county and sen tenceii to. bs hanged December 5rh. He was then reprieved till a an try id It ha-, made to appear, -however, that he was not tbe bold, unscrupulous rug lie who would take life, such as the law designed to puiiish by death, but that he was a weak sneak thief.

This fact and a petit ion of citizens of Mecklenburg county influenced the Governor to grant the commutation. At Wilmington, N. (V, a few days ago a son ot w.s. waiser. aa-u two years, was run over and by a snvK-tw.

The occurrence was witn s.ed b.v the mother of the child The driver, Robert Rowan, sprang from the car picked the body of the child up, carried it into the house, and laid it on a bed. He was then so overcome by the shock that he had to bj taken to his home. He was perfectly crazed, with grief and it is feared his mind will give way under the strain. He had several spasms anil had to be attended by two physicians It is said that fifty Vessels are tiow unlawfully engaged in carrying away oysters from the natural b'dsin Pamlico sjund aud other sounds and rivers near b. In some places they have taken ad the oysters, and ift is said it will require ten years' time to restore the beds to their condition a year ago.

In Carteret county at two points the people, armed, have ordered the pillagers to leave. The people are very angry at the state of affairs. The oyster canning business in the Slate has been serious'y crippled by this plundering of the bids, which is the work of non residents.
