Whilst reporting the matter, it might be well to add that, under au act of the Gene ral Assembly, passed at Dover, April 4, 1881, I have paid out for school books the sum of $5,879.45 and have received back into the treasury for the same the sum of $3,979.54, which leaves In the hands ol the State Superintendent, for books invested, a balance due the 8tate of $2,899.91. In my last report i invited, through your excellency, the attention of the Grand As sembly to the fact that certuiu of our National Banks had refused to pay their State tax on shares. The result of the action then taken by that honorable body is, that a suit is now pending in the Circuit Court of the United States for this district, which suit was brought by the First National Bank of the city of Wilmington against State Treasurer, and which, by consent oi other National Banks of that city Is to be a test case. Late advice from Attomey General Gray is that he is doing all he can to hasten an early decision, aud hopes to obtain one during the winter. But as the question now stands, and in view of Ute un certain result of wliat has been done, I deem it my duty to renew my former sug gestion and again invite the attention of the Legislature to this important matter. The receipts of this department since January 17. 1882, the date of my laat seule ment. with the Legislative Committee,under the various acta to raise revenue, and from all other sources belonging to the General have amounted to the sura of Fund $141,238.19. * * The report concludes as follows : "Under the Sinking Fund, more generally known as the Oyster Law, there has been received during this adminis tiation, after deducting therefrom all requisite expenses, $9,041.21, which has been disbursed in redeeming State bonds as is directed by law. # # ■» # But I cannot close this report without in dulging in a few remarks, more personal in their character than pertaining directly to the duties ,of the office, which, however, I trust, will not be considered inappropriate. I desire, thus publicly, to acknowledge iny appreciation of the many murks of confi dence which 1 have received from our peo ple everywhere, and especially do I desire to return my grateful rememberaaee to the members of the ^General Assembly wbo have from time to time entrusted me with the honorable position from which I an» about to take leave; and to the officers of the Farmers' Bank at Dover, and the officers ol the Philadelphia National Bank in the city of Philadelphia, do I desire to express my highest regard and admiration, and for the uniform courtesies aud assist ance that I have received at their hands 1 gladly embrace this opportunity to sincerely thank them. what is In conclusion, 1 am, with due respect, very obediently, yours, Robert J.

Kutcou Conkllng Appears in Court In -New York Yesterday in a Big Civil Suit—tien eral News. New York, Dec. 37.—The petition of Helen Maria Hoyt. Jesse Hoyt's widow, and of her daughter, Mary Irene Hoyt, tor an Immediate allowance of $35,000 each ont of the estate, was before8urrogate Rolliusagalti yesterday. The daughter's affidavit say» that she believes her lather's estate is worth at least $10,000,000, a large part of which is in Government bonds. She supports a home of her own at to her position In society before her father's death. According to the provisions of the will of her father she was to have the in come from $1,350,000, which at 6 per cent, would be $75,000 a year. By this provision the sum of $25,000 will be due her on the 39th of -third ol a year will then have elapsed since the will was admitted to probate. A little over $3,000 has been paid to her, und she has been obliged to incur debts to the extent of $8,000. She intends to contest the validity of the will and will incur great expense in the contest. She also sets fourth that she was unlawfully kept in insane asylum so that she could not appear whea the will was offered for probate. The widow makes affidavit that she has received about $8,000, $3,000 of which went to pay for medical attendance on her late husband, and $1,000 for ground rent on the homestead, payments which were properly chargeable to the estate. Roscoe Conkllng appeared for the petl tioners and William M. F.varts for the exe cutors and chief legatee. Samuel Hoyt, Alfred Hoyt and James W. Jackson, the executors, make affidavit that they are willing to pay such sums to the' peti tioners as are necessary for their support, but refuse to pay $16,500 counsel fees for the petitioners. They say that the total iucome irom the estate sinco the probate of the will, so far as received by them, has been a little over $24,000, of which about $6,000 has been paid to the petitioners, and the rest they arc now ready to pay if the court so orders. Accord ing to Jesse Hoyt's books, he pended only $33,000 for the expenses of himself aud his family for the three years preceding his death. The imprisonment of Mary Ireue in the asylum was at the request of her father and mother. Mr. Conkllng said the reason why no more than $34,000 had been received by the executors from the estate was that the interest ou bonds w as paid in July and January. The executors said nothing about what the estate had re ceived. As the petition to set aside the will would shut off the income of the widow and her daughter that wa6 a reason why a large enough allowance should be made to bridge over the wide chasm which a contest for millions would make.
