Ah Interesting Document on Delaware'»
Healthy Finance» — How They Have
Bern Managed.
The bienuial report of State Treasurer
Robert J. Reynolds to the Governor has just
been issued from the press, and a copy has
been received at this office. In speaking of
the finances, of the 8tate, after detailing the
operation of funding the State debt he says :
Thus it appears that the financial coudi
State, during the period covered
tiou of
by Lhis report, has been of the most healthy
character, and that our people have cause
for congratulation In that by the conversion
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington <fc Balti
more railroad stock our School Fund was
increased $46,750, aud, by refunding the
State debt, we not only reduced our annual
interest from 6 to 4 j*er centum, but we re
ceived into the treasury, on the sale of our
new bonds, a clear gain, as premium,
ol 27,905.05. Aud now, at the close
of * another two years in lhi6 depart
ment, after meeting promptly the semi
annual Interest on our indebtedness, and all
other claims against the State, l arn pre
pared to redeem and cancel bonds to the
amount of $90,000.00, for which I have duly
made my call, and which, as shown by the
following summary, will leave our State
debt, after the first day of January next,
of only $864,750.00.

$304,019.00, with prospective receipts ou
January 1, 1883, $81,086.88.
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.

faithful "Rol," to wine the swift partridge

we concluded we were young again.
Christmas tide is the holiday season of
Sussex, and never before was one more uni

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. The Surrogate re
