Later—The cause of the accident was a broken flange on tha forward hand track wheel of the smoking car. A careful inspection by General Manager Furber revealed the fact that a section of the flange waa missing, the break evidently resulting from a defective casting. In the house the organization was effected in accordance with the Republican caucus action. After the organic ition had been effected Governor Green's private secretary presented bis first annual message, which was read and ordered printed. Governor Green, in bis (passage, treats In detail of nearly every institution of the state. He says there la Just complaint of tbe unequal operation of tbe general tax lawi of the state, and suggests that tbe provision allowing a deduction for debts from assessable property is one which is open to serious abuse, the practical result of which is that a large proportion of indebtedness is never reached In tbe bands of tbe preditor, unless he is mortgageor residing in the state. The total amount of tbe inoome of tbe school fund for the fiscal year was $190,- HN&29. From this income of tbe fund $76,6,18.00 wis expended under various acts, and $100,000 was appropriated for public schools, to be used only for tbe payment of teachers' salaries and fuel, leaving a balance of incoiqe of $20,244.23 to be added to tbe principal pi the fund. The governor renews tbe recoiBwendgtion of his predecessor that the annual appropriation of $100,000 be increased by adding each year the unejpenned balance of the income, and recommend* that tbe ffee library law be extended to townships. The expenditures In ty*e staff) prisons for tbe fiscal year amounted to $97,2fl.4H more than tbe earnings of the convicts. Tbe supervisor's report indicates that, In his opinion, the piece prioe plan is not successful, "either as a revenue measure or as a preventive of undue competition with honest labor," and that, in bis opinion, tbe contract system is infinitely superior. Tbe system has been in operation only einoe tbe expiration of tbe old contraots in June, 1885. It can, therefore, hardly be claimed that it has bad a thorough trial. The chief objection to it seems to be on the grmind of its unproductiveness. The governor recommends the passage of * law by vbich tbe duties of railroad commissioners (ball b8 Imposed on tbe state board of assessors. The powers to be conferred on such a body should be confined to those which relate to tne protection of the people and the publio interest, and Governor Green submits tbe law of Massachusetts as, In his judgment, tbe best to whiob his attention has been directed. He condemns the .'ormation of "trusts," which are becoming so common throughout the country. In the early part of tbe conflagration Betsy Lewis, aged 60, was carried from ber room by Henry Wheeler, another boarder, to tbe sitting room, where both were overcome by the smoke. Thomas Collyer dashed his bare arm through a pane of glass, lac rating it in a frightful manner, and succeeded in resuscitating the helpless oouple. Cnn«tliD:iltoii Hit. yiany Victim*.
