Another Financial £ho #ing of Interest and Importance ‘to All The Figures Looked at from Different Standpoints, Ata recent meeting of the city | council Recorder Burke presented a | financial showing on which he had ev- | idently spent much This showing made a very cheery out look for the year 1882, closed with the statement that the city was in | splendid financial condition, notwith standing the fact that there were £32,. | €00 of warrants outstanding and only | £0,0679 b | The figures presented in {his roport | showed in brief that from January 1, | 1881 to January 1, 1882 warrants were | issued to the amount of §71,888, n,|4l | that the estimated resources of the city \ for the year 1882 were $76,000, leay- ing a cheerful looking margin ¢ £5,000 above expenses for the present year. | The pertinent question las been raised, why this financial statement | was hased on figures gathered for the | calendar year instead of the fiseal | and work. | time and ance in the treasury. year, beginning and closing in April /|’ Recorder Burke has made reply to | this and given a further showing. | In this new revelation it ap- pears that the present administra. | tion has issued 861,086, during the nine | months ending January 1, 1882, and that the warrants issued during the entire year of the preceding adminis- tration amounted to only 854,687, In other words the present administra- | tion has, in nine months, spent nearly as much as its predecessor did in a whole year. i Tuking the figures prescnted in this | new atatement, another comparison is striking and interesting. During the whole of 1881, there was $71,888 ex- | pended. Of this arount $51,086 | was spent by the present administra- tion during the last nine months of | the year 1881, During the last ni menths of the year 1880 there w 833,886 expended by the old admin- | istration. This shows that the pres- | ent administration has increased the expenditures $17,201 in nine months, At this rate the yearly i reach $22,935, nearly $ But the incrense in D00, exponditure would naturally be more than that | for the year ending next April. The | closing months of an administration bring in tho settlement of balancos carried through the year, and the the amount ot the warrants, KFrom the lst of January to the lsc of April, 1881, thore were warrants issued to the nmount of $20,802, nearly two- thirds as much as what. the same ad- ministration paid out during the nine months preceding that time. If the present adiinistration were to follow the same ratio the warrants issued during January, February and March which added to the amount spent the last nine months would make a total for the fiscal year of $83,000 as com- pared with $64,687 expended by the previous administration, When the final balancing comes and all the bills and outstanding accounts are settled by warrants, it will become apparent how true this figuring is. Conjectures and figuring on proba- bilities may seem unnatia‘fm:tory, and f'ut as such figuring and estimates have formed part of the ofticial state- ments made, they are not out of place in a review of these statements, Of the facts there are some, however, which are aditted by all, and among them is the one that the present ad- ministration expended during nine months over $17,000 more than the preceding administration expended during the nine months corresponding to these. It is also given forth as official that on the first of January there was 85,000 cash in the treasury, and 832,000 of warrants outstanding. This shows the financial drift, whose current has attracted the attention of the citizens to an inquiry into the causes and final result, ALMOST IN EARNEST. A Man Hung in Fun is Taken Down Just in Time. Yestorday there was a crowd of jolly souls, who well filled with gin, were ready for any bit of deviltry which seemed to have any fun in it. As they were thus holding a high carnival, the thought suggested itself of having a hanging, and one named Bill Proxel wss chosen the victim of the joke, He was hurriedly pulled upby a scarf wound around his neck, and as hurriedly let down again, He was found to be i a dead faint, and the crowd sobered up quick- ly at tho thought that they had really hanged him in earnest. Some of them thought the fellow was going to die, and t} @ scare was quite general, but an application of cold water and fresh air soon revived the victim of the too practical ukq, and now he is himself agsin. The jolly souls who thought hanging such a ‘good joku, will net soon be caught trying it again, and if the fright only startles them into the realization that such practical jokes are apt to be serious ones, it will not have been in vain, e AMUBEMENTS, Floral Tributes Lo Miss Grace Cart- land - Entertainments rom 1sed This Week: The Grace Cartland Company closed a most successful week Satur day night by presenting a double bill, “Faint Heart" and *‘French Spy,” giving both in a highly aceeptable manner.

The trial of Otto Hellwagner, for the murder of Dora, his wife, last August, ended yestorday with the conviction of the accused.

A new trial was immodiataly moved by the counsel for the defense and will be argued next Saturday, but with little chance for success No one was surprised at the verdict, asthe testimony throughout had been very strong against the accused. He re- ceived his sentence with unrufied stolidity and seemed perfectly indif- feront to his fate. It is believed on all sides that he will hang, asno ground for & new trial can exist.
