Major Carson jcsterday notified all heads of departments In the city administration to have prepared a list ot all the supplies that will bo required In the various dcpirt- motits during the next fiscal year , beginning April 1 , The lists must Include everything that will bo called for during the year , and It must be ready by the ICth Inst. The lists are for the purpose ot permitting the special appropriation committee to make up Its estimates for next year's expenses and prepare the required appropriation or dinance , which must bo passed by the coun cil bcforo April 1 , In accordance with the now statute. The heads of the various departments began to think about the matter yesterday , and It did not take long to realize that the prcimntlon of the lists would Involve n large amount of good hard work and care ful guessing. Tlio only way an cstlmato of the c\penscs of the coming year cnn ho arrived nt Is to take the total expen ditures In each department for a number of > cars and strike an average , and then endeavor to think out all the exigencies that mny arise In the future that will cause a demand for additional espouse. Under the new law there can be no transfers from 0110 fund to another and If the estimate In any one pioves to bo .nsunlcleiit for the needs tl.at department will run onto the rocks and will have to work out Its own salvation for the remainder of the jear. The disposition Is now to provide against such dangers by making the estimates suf ficiently large to cover nil possible contin gencies. This would be an easy solution of the matter If the heads of departments had the final disposition of It. but they don't. The appropriation committee will scnle down the estimates to conform to the Judgment of the majority , and this will again In turn bo subjected to the further scaling by the council when the ordinance Is called up for passage. There will bo a greater disposition than ever this year to bring ths expenditures well within the re ceipts. Last year this policy was adheied to nnd the jear closed with a surplus of about $12,000. The present jear , ending April 1 , will also show a surplus but not qulto so large. The total expenses of nil departments average about ? S,000 a month. The city officers believe that the saloon licenses will greatly help out the general fund this summer. Inquiries now Indicate that there will be a large addition to the number ot siloons. Some of the offipors In the marshal's department estimate that the number will reach 100 during the busy times of the exposition. wn.vn n\M von SUIT is STVUTED.

Wead against Receiver Hau- nan and the Manawa Railway company for the killing of his brother In July , 1S9C. Wead and a party of friends from Oiraha were returning from the lake In the earlj part ot the ovctilng In a large carrjall. The driver was unacquainted with the road and was not aware or had forgotten the fact that the highway was crossed by the Manawa motor tracks at a point half a mile north of the like. As they approached the track the driver noticed the motor train running parallel with the highway on hU right , and only a short distance away. He ijrove along without noticing the fact that the railway made a sharp curve directly ahead and crossed the roadway. The carryall with its load of nearly thirty Omaha people reached the crossing Just as the train did. The driver realized his danger and swung the four-horso team around In time to prevent the horses from being hit. This threw the carrjall parallel with the tracks and It was struck by the motor. F. H. Wead was the only member of the paity hurt. Ho was sit ting on the rear steps of the vehicle and when the quick turn was made he was thrown In such a way that he Is supposed to have gotten under the wheels. Doth legs wore crushed and he died a few hours later at the Woman's Christian Association hos pital. Tno defendant railway company claims that Wcad's Injuries were Inflicted by his legs being caught between thu bottom of the steps nnd a brink of earth at the roadside when the vehicle was whirled around. Tuo plaintiffs base their suit on the allegation that the engineer of the motor train neg lected to sound his whistle or ring his bell as ho approached the cr'oralag , anJ alleging that for this reason the driver ocid the oc cupants of the carryall were not apprised of the approach of the train. The suit Is brought by F. D. Wead as administrator , and the amount asked for Is { 15,000. All of the legal preliminaries were completed laat night and the work of taking testimony will bo begun this morning.

WILKESHARR13 , IVi. , Feb. 4. The trial of Sheriff MartUi and hla dcputlce , Jointly charged with the murder of the striking miners at Littlmcr on September 10 , was continued this morning. The court room was crowded , notwithstanding Judge Woodward's order that no one should bo nlloncd to en ter after the scats had been filled. The dep uties seem to realize the position In which they nro placed and nro paying the closest attention to the testimony ot the coinmon- woUth's wltneases. The witnesses arc brought Into court only as they arc required to testify. Many of them bear reminders of the Lattlmcr shooting in the eltapo of woundd , missing legs , arms , etc. Ono man with eight buckshot wounds In the back , who Is Just recovering sttfltclcnt strength to enable him to inoxe. was present. Charles Guscott , the Lattlmcr school teacher , who told such n thrilling story yesterday , was called this morning. Ho wan chiefly occupied In pointing out those of the deputies he remembered hayIng - Ing seen at Lattlmcr Just previous to th shooting. After this Guscott pointed ou by maps nnd photographs of the scene o the shooting Just where the deputies stood where the strikers halted , where the nherlf met the strikers nnd where the dead am wounded hail fallen. It was shown by till witness on cross-examination that the wtrlk ers were In Lattlmor on the .Tuesday pro vlous to the shooting , and that there wn some rioting. Dr. II. M. Kellnr , who viewed the remain of the strlKcis nnd attended many of th wounded , testified tint a number of striker were shot In the hick , bearing out the alle gallon that the deputies flrcd when the nun wore mm tig nwaj. SHOT IN ALL. POSITION'S. Dr. Keller mentioned In order each of the hlrtnlno patients taken to the Hnzcltoi lospltal , and described their \\o.imls mi uitcly. It was evident that they had bcei fchot In nil positions , some whllo fronting the deputies , eome whllo running away , niu some while lying on the ground In the hope e > [ escaping Injury. Forty-six wounds 01 thirty-nine men were Inflicted by 14-callbei rlllo bullets , and only n small majority o them were caused by buckshot. The defense In Its cross examination , con ducted by ex-State's Attoiney Genera Palmer , asked the doctor to classify the wounds as to the positions ot the men whet shot. The classification was as follows Shot directly In front , C ; Indlicetly In fiont 9 ; directly In the side , 15 ; indirectly in the side , C ; directly In the rear , 3 ; Indirectly li the rear. S. Of the thirty-nine patients seven died In the hospital ; two arc still there and tecov ering slowly , and thirty have been dls ' charged , all of them cured except one , who Is now In a Philadelphia hospital. The prosecution has nil nlong contend ? ' I that n large number of the men were bhot In the back. I Rev. S. C. Stnfflcot , pastor of the 13m- nnucl Rcfoimed church of Ha/elton. tes tified that the ( strikers were orderly and ap parently unarmed. Miss Grace Cojlo , Principal Guscott's assistant at the Lattlmor school , proved to be the most Important witness of the daj She slid she vvns standing on the porch or the school house and paw the deputies linn up along thu roadside. Then the strikers approached quietly and orderly. The sheriff stopped them and some of them gathered around him , but she did not see any of them attack him. Sor.ie of them cried , "Go Ahead , " nnd a few strikers pushed past the sheriff. At that moment n shot was flrefi , then came another , and In an Instant a vol ley. CARED FOR TIII3 WOUNDED. "I saw men fall , " said Miss Coyle. "Somo of them ran toward the school house , and when they hail got hnlf way they fell. I do not know whether they were shot just before they fell or If they were wounded by the volley nnd ran so far before their strength failed them. The shooting con tinued for about two minutes , and after the first volley It was scattered. "I helped many of 'the ' wounded strikers who were near the school housic .and 1 did not see any w capons on any of them. While I was helping them a deputy named Rosa laughed nt mo nnd ho walked about smoking n cigar. I said : 'You ought to go to Cuba ' Another deputy , Clark , laughed , nnd I said to him : "Uo > oit think you have done a glorious deed today ? ' I called two more of them bums. " Miss Coylo made a good witness for the commonwealth , but In the crrss-cxamlnatlcn she also made a good witness for the de fense. The defense will try to provo that the people of Luttlmer were very much afraid of the strikers anil became much alarmed when they heard they were coming GiibMtt , the principal of the school , had denied that his scholars were frightened , but ho could not explain very clearly why they had halted out of the school without being dismissed. Miss Coylo said on this point Just vvhnt the defense desired to get at. She said "Shortly before 4 o'clock Miss Cora Hein- bach came to the school and said'The strikers arc coming and I want my llttlo sister to go homo with me. ' I excused the llttlo girl and then thought It bebt to dis miss the class so they could get homo before the strikers came. " Thli will bo * trong evidence for the de fense , as It will show that on the Tuesday prevlouii to the shooting a number of strik ers were rioting In. Littlmcr and terrorized the residents. Whllo these were not the same men who marched on < the fatal Friday the testimony will bo valuable to prove that in view of the rioting of Friday the sheriff conaldercd the lives and the property of the Lattlmcr peoplq In danger. The commonwealth called / Stephen T Adnnut , n traveling man , by whom It wns hoped to provo that some of the deputies whllo Journe > lng to the scene of the shootIng - Ing , mndo threats that they would kill some 01' the strikers. The witness said ho could not Identify any of the deputies opj the car Aa ho was proceeding to tell his e'ory the defense objected. The objection was sus- stained and court adjourned until tomorrow , i lllwluiv Midi ll Ti'f.y. CINCINNATI , Fob. 4. A mutual council has Ijcon called to try Rev. Herbert 8.
