Ing. i Judge Green's decision did not covu.
tlie points that were considered most vital

for an Injunction was refused largely on
technical grounds. In hit ) amended petition
Shea cures a number ot the defeats pointed
lout by the court and gets at the merit o'
the controversy between him and the city
Judge Green held that Shea could not main
tain his suit agalLst the warrant and band
holders for the reason that he had not cltcc.

DE3 MOINES. Dec. 11. ( Special Tclc-
Bram. ) State Auditor McCarthy's biennial
report was Issued today ( or the blcnnlum
ending Juno 30 last. H shows that there
\\cro outstanding on Juno 30 (4 ( ,500 ot state
warrants , nearly all ot which represented
the state debt. There had been expended In
the biennial period ? 1,731,764 , ot which about
| 280,000 was represented by salaries , mileage
and cmplojes ot the legislature during Its
two sessions. The auditor makes a careful
estimate of the expected revenue for the next
biennial period , anil assuming that the state
levy for the flrst six months of 18D9 will ho
on the basis of 2 mills , ho reaches the figure
of $4,011,000. Against this ho presents on
estimate of expenditures for the eamo period ,
which he finds will bo $3.781.348. This vlll
leave a balance of $225,000 In favor of the
etnto to bo applied to payment of the present
debt. Sir. McCarthy declares that his esti
mates have been undo with the greatest
care and ho li confident they will co\cr every
expense of the stato. In short , ho believes
that with no Increase of taxes In 18DS and n
decrease of 7-10 of a mill in 1800 the debt cm
bo reduced about CO per cent by July 1 , 1809.
During the last biennial period the total re
ceipts of cash by the treasury were ? 4 414.2.H.
Of this amount $ .2,752,667 was raised by the
state tax-lev } of 2 5 mills In 1895 ami 27
mills In 189C The balance was from fees ,
refunds , monejs paid by counties to the
etato Institutions , etc.
In the case of the State agilnst Sucl J
Spauldlng , d fnulUne treasurer ot the Phar
macy commission a new turn was taken to
day. When Spauldlng was on tilal under
Indictment for embezzlement It was con
tended that ho was not n state emplo > e ,
but merelj an employe ot the commission
and responsible to It rather than to the
state ; that ho had been wrongfully indicted
as a state officer , and therefore was not
guilty. On this purely technical ground the
court Instructed a % crdlct of not guilty , and
all possibllltj of criminal prosecution was
at an end. Now , In the case to compel hii
bondsmen to make the state good for the
$13.000 ho stole It develops that the statutes
authorize the pharmacy commission to create
iby-laws and appoint asslstant ollicers , that
Spiuldlng was elected treasurer In accoid-
nncc with a by-law adopted by the commls *
slon In pursuance of this delegation of au
thority , and that therefore as the state main
tained , he was In effect a state oillccr. The
point Is a strain ; one for the state , but It
will not help put Spauldlng behind the bais
He Is now running a drug store in this city
and having once been In Jeopardy , is safe
for all time from liability for his acts. Ills
