Mr. Adams, then, at some length viewed the harvdships imposed ubon the voud by the Thurman set and other leg- islation. Seven millions of its money wis tied up inthe napkin of the United State: treasury, and while the rvoad was tied hand and foot, its pockets were bemg picked by unserupulous nickpockets, Wihat the'road now needed was prompt relief from this emk ssing condition, Two bills had been introduced in con- gresss with this view to enable them to expend sinking fund money in b roads, One was by Senator Van Wyck, the other by Delegate Cary, of Wyoming I'he Van Wycek bill had many 1 which were not acceptable,” but some moditications would * give relicef.

A Treasurer Owed by the County: J. J. Points, who has been poring over the accounts of BEx-Treasurcr Rush, has at length brought his work to a close It resulted in the discovery, not ttat he is ndebted to the county, but that the county is indebted to him. It has “been found that his deputy, Rhodes, charged to Mr. Rush, twice, the amount for feés up to July 1, 1885, amounting to $170. Against this amount the commissioners will probably Iay $50 which Mr. Rush claims for ser- vices for the last days of his term.
