Reward for a Murderer Increased— lering— Several Interesting Social Notes. Georgetown’s Poor Not The services last night at St. John's Church in honor of her patron saint, the evangelist, were beautiful and impressive. One of the features was the solo of Master Lee Cox, whose fine voice has been the sub- ject of much comment. He was accom- panied by the vested choir, led by Miss Lockwood, soprano; Miss Carrie Dodson, alto; Mr. Cox, senior bass, and Mr. H. Pearson, tenor. The speaker of the even- ing was the Rev. J. W. Perry of St. An- drew’s, Washington, who based his dis- course on “Personal Religion.” After the service a permanent guild was formed in the Sunday school hall, with Mr. R. Lee Cox as secretary and Mr. J. G. Cook as treasurer. At Lovel Crest. At “Lovel Crest,” her home on the Ridge road, Miss Mattie Brown, daughter of Mr. Walter Brown, last evening entertained charmingly a number of Washington and Georgetown friends. There were games, a dance and refreshments. Some of those present were Miss Edith Taylor, Miss Lizzie Reynolds, Mrs, Hawks, the Misses Hawks, Miss Brown, Miss Beaulah Barnes, Miss Lena Weaver, Miss Maud Hoffman, Miss Beatrice Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Ackers, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. Walter Brown, Mr. David Reynol Mr. Maurice Hoffman, Mr. Edward Smith, Mr. Walter Birch, Mr. |Raymond Frisby, Mr. Frank Gibson, Mr. Saxton and Mr. Mulligan. Georgetown’s Poor. The various aid societies of the West End were not called upon as heavily during the past week for assistance as was expected. In fact, as compared with the correspond- ing week of previous years, the applications from the poor were but very few. The open | weather, the various representatives of the associations say, may claim the credit for this good condition of things, Not a case of genuine distress has made its appearance before the societies for ten days. A Large Reward. Four of the largest coal companies en- gaged in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal trade, namely the Consolidation, Georges Creek, Borden Mining and Maryland com- panties, have combined and made up an ad- litional reward of $1,500 for the arrest of he murderer of P. E, Haldeman, who was ‘obbed and murdered near the Franklin cnines on December 16, 1803. Pleasantly Surprised. The Rev. Sandy Alexander, pastor of the colored Baptist Church at the corner of Dumbarton avenue and 27th street, has been surprised by his congregation with a fine suit of black clothes. Every year the Rev. Mr, Alexander is remembered in some similarly substantial manner. The presen- tation took place at the home of the pas- tor by a committee appointed for the pur- pose. Some Notes. There was a $900 or $1,000 fire early yes- terday morning in St. Augustine's, the Catholic church at Williamsport, on the canal. The building proper sustained a loss of about $300, the balance being on the fur- niture and furnishings of the church. Val- uable vestments and a fine painting of the Madonna were destroyed by the flames. The Dumbarton Church Christmas cele- bration was held last night. There were recitations, songs and other entertainment features appropriate to the occasion. Mrs. McIihaney, the mother of Mrs. Chas. P. Stohlman, died yesterday at her home, corner of 35th and N streets. The Georgetown Assembly gives the sec- ond dance of the season tonight at Linthi- cum Hall. ——._—. The Case Urgent. From the Chicago Tribune. “Mamma sent me for half a dollar’s worth of disinfectants,” said the little boy. “What kind?” asked the druggist. “I don't know ‘xactly. Something purty strong, I guess.” “What does she want it for?” “Why, it’s like this. Me an’ the other boys has been runnin’ a Eskemo one of the back rooms upstairs fur more'n three an’ she’s just found it out.” TREASURY CASH The Balance Lower Than Has Been Known in Many Years. JANUARY PAYMENTS 70 BE MADE tremendous Will Call for the Disbursement of rayetngee Large Amounts. A LOAN LIKELY TO BE MADE. Another slump in the treasury balance carried it down to $88,914,096, of which $82,- 024,796 was in gold and $6,889,300 in cur- rency. This is the smallest currency bal- ance available for many years, but the ac- tual amount in the treasury and its branch- es is a trifle more than the figures on the books, because of amounts set aside against demand liabilities which have not been pre- sented. The United States notes in the treasury cash were $4,462,335, the Sherman silver notes, $2,685,223, and the silver cer- tificates $5,716,507, making a total of $12,- 862,065. This would be a very respectable working balance for every-day transactions if it were not for the large amount tied up in money which is in process of redemption. This amounted to about $5,250,000, and re- duced the actual currency, even when cer- tain demand liabilities were disregarded, to about $7,500,000. Excess of Expenditures. The expenditures this month have exceed- ed the receipts by the amount of $5,290,000, and it is a puzzling question how the treas- ury can run on much longer without a new supply of cash from outside the usual sources of revenue. The customs receipts thus far this month have been $7,848,000, and will not exceed $1,000,000 for the month. This is the lowest record for any month since 1865, when the population of the country was about half what it is today, and is little more than half of the customs receipts for December of last year. A fall- ing off of six millions a month cannot be endured much longer without the complete exhaustion of the gold reserve, and one of the subjects which will be seriously discuss- ed at the cabinet meeting on Friday will be promptest way of meeting the exist- ing emergency. January Payments to Be Made. Interest payments to the amount of near- ly $6,000,000 on the 4 per cent bonds and the Pacific railroad sixes will be due on Janu- ary 1, in addition to twelve or thirteen mil- lon for pensions and the usual depart- mental expenditures. The suggestion of Secretary Carlisle that treasury bills re- deemable after one year at the pleasure of the governmnt be issued in discharge of government obligations to those willing to receive them, or sold at par in the market, will undoubtedly be adopted and immediate action urged upon both houses of Congress. The silver men are likely to meet such a Ss with amerdmenis providing for ~ certificates against the seigniorage bullion in the treasury, but there is no in- ae at — that oop Cleve- consent to such a plan o! on s meeting An Issue of Treasury Bills, With the gold reserve already reduced to $82,000,000, and carrying the weight of $846,000,000 in United States notes and $153,000,000 in Sherman notes, a further issue of silver money or money redeemable in silver is considered peculiarly unsafe at the Treasury Department. If $50,000,000 in treasury bills could be issued, replenish- ing the cash reserve by that amount, the gold fund could be increased by husbana- ing the gold received at the custom houses or by ex currency for gold with the banks without any direct legislation regarding the reserve. New silver issues, it is feared, would cause another gold panic wot a Pye Ty ta nominal supply which the government now has on hand. Relief Needed. It is generally admitted that the treas- ury should have relief before it can be ob- tained from the proceeds of new taxes, The experience of the war showed thet collections from internal revenue and cus- toms did not essentially swell the receipts until some time after the enactment of the Jaws. The only chance for an immediate revenue without some form of a loan ap- pears to lie ip the manipulation of the in- ternal revenue tax on whisky. A sharp increase of the rate, to take effect on ail whisky on which the tax had not been paid at the time of the passage of the bill, would probably result in warehouses and pouring money into the treasury sufficient for every immediate re- quirement. The speculative movement once over, however, the internal revenue receipts would fall lower than before and new re- sources would have to be sought to again replenish the treasury. _ A Loan to Be Authorized. While it is probable that the ways and means committee will adopt the suggestion of Secretary Carlisle that the whisky tax be increased from 9 cents to $1 per gallon, this will probably come after a temporary loan has been authorized, and no encour- agement will be given to speculators in whisky certificates. The silver men are Ukely to offer a great variety of proposi- tions as amendments to any bill providing for a loan, but the President is disposed to take the same firm position he took regara- ing repeal of the silver purchase law and to insist that the loan be authorized to meet the absolute necessities of the treas- ury without its being coupled with any concessions to silver. ———_-e-—_____ NOTABLE WILL CONTEST. Children Claiming a Large Estate Left by Their Father. A case which fs attracting wide attention and which will probably consume three weeks in its trial was commenced yesterday before Judge Campbell in the circuit court at Wheeling. It is a contest of the will of the late Michael Reilly of Wheeling by the three sons and a daughter of the deceased, both of the heirs and their children having been shut out of any portion of the estate, which is appraised at $800,000, and which is not to be distributed until the great grand- children of the deceased become of age. Right Rev. John J. Kain,bishop of St. Louis, and Mgr. John T. Sullivan, vicar gene>al of the diocese of West Virginia, are the trus- tees and executors of the estate under the will, and the contest will be a great one, a strong array of eminent counsel appearing on both sides. Yesterday was consumed in an effort to obtain a jury, and there were still two vacant seats in the box when the court adjourned last evening. —eeeo—____ George Gould Answers Charge. George Gould, through his attorneys, has made his answer in the $40,000 suit against him, commenced by Mrs. Zella Nicolaus. The answer covers twelve pages of type- written matter, and consists of a general dental to each and every charge made by Mrs. Nicolaus in her complaint. it contains no demand for a genera bill of particulars, as many believed it would. Attorney Clark of the firm of Cockran & Clark, counsel for George Gould, said: “The 2 Rot been compromised in any way, and will not be. When the matter comes up in the courts for trial we shall be pre- pared to fight the case to the end. We shall give them all the fight they want in this matter. In the meantime I see Mrs, Nieo- laus is enjo: herself in Europe.
