A MILLION IN CASH. The Report of the Joint Audit ing Committee ON THE STATE FINANCES- The Report Submitted By Senator Corput—A Mill ion in Cash. The joint committee appointed to ex examine and report on the books and vouchers of the state treasurer and the comptroller general have made the fol lowing report through Senator Corput, chairman, on behalf of the senate: Your committee met at the capitol in Atlanta on the 19. n day of June lao: and devoted themselves to this work from that time until the 28th of June. Our examination w-s caretu', thorough and systematic. In the treasurer’s office we examined carefully an l minutely all the books kept by that < ffioer, showing the amounts received, disbursements made, for wnat purpose made, and by what au thority. We uis > looted up the various Bin >uuts on said books under tne various l ea I* and items, in old r to verify same. N> inn; was taken fur granted and no c-culauionO remit, as stated on such books, was a by this commitlee as c irreot un r H me same had been veri fied by us. Commencing with the fiist day of Ocrouer, 1892 we h ve examined voucher tor every item of expendi ture and nisbuisement made by the treasurer fr >m that date until the first day of June, 1893, and we have compared such vouchers with the books of the treasurer aud with bis printed report, submitted to this general assembly for the year ending September 30, 1892. Wo also counted the cash in tbe ueasurer’s office on the 19ub day of June last. We first ascertained f om the comptroller-gen eral the amount of cish, that, according to bis books, sbuti d no m the treasury, which w-s sl,ll'o 533.17. This amount we found to be correct. We found in the vault, m currency $<3000; in stiver, sl,- 956 90; cssb in nil, $885.38; coupons, $56,- 928.70; amount in depositories, $1,008,- 835.50; advanced to civil est blistuuenc, $18.602.53;. incidental expense account, $323.82 We also ixtmiued the bonds deposited in said treasury by the foreign insurance companies do ng business in this state, as required by law, and we find that the report of the treasurer as to the names of the various companies, the amount of bonds deposited, and the character of the bonds, mentioned in such report, is correct. We also find $500,090 Georgia p r cent registered bonds deposi'ed by the state road lessees, as r»- quired by law. We also examined the assets of tbe state as mentioned m said report. We find 186 shares of Georgia Railroad and Banking Company stock, and 440 shares of Southern and Atlantic Telegraphing Company’s stock. We h-sve ex-imiued the comptroller’s books, the certificates of the treasurer given him, for the amount paid bis office, as required by law, and have checked every certifioste and voucher from the Ist d iy of October,lß9l, up to tbe nineteenth day of June, 1893, and we find that, the b ioks of the comptroller general and the certificates when chicked together, correspond in every instance. We examine the reports of he various tax o >llectors of the state, and their di gests showing the amount of tax paid h'v. the various counties iu the stare, and the record of • peci al tixes made by each county in the state, and find these cor rect in every particular. In the eximi ation of the treasurer’s office, we wrote to the various deposito ries and bad tbe various amounts re ported by »he treasurer to be deposited in said banks verified. In our examination of these offices we have been afforded every sac l:ty by the officers and their assistan e, each and every one -'f whom manifested skill, abil ity and efficiency in the discharge of their duties. The books are not only neat, but they are systematic, comprehensible a » complete. It is our duty and our pleasure to say that the treasurer and comptroller-gen eral of the state are officers whose iffi olenoy, faithfulness, pareful administra tion aud devon n to the best interers of tbe state entitle them to tbe indorsement and approval of this comm tree, tbe leg islature and the people, a» < fficers faith ful in the discharge of every lawful duty. We believe the state most fortu nate in having in her service these ex cellent gentlemen. Respectfully submitted, Felix Cobput, 4 .. A. P. Persons, a; < Committee of the Senate. Robert R.

FOUND ON THE TRAINS .■-s ■ A Man Whe For Fifteen Tears Has Been Picking VP TMnge. Whenever during the daytime a New York, New Haven and Hartford train tolls into the Grand Central depot a stoop shouldered, little man, with keen gray eyes and a beard that doesn’t grow with sufficient luxuriance to require frequent trimming, strolls down to the end of the platform. When the train stops and while the most laggard of the passengers are still leisurely alighting, he hops nim bly on the rear platform of the last car and proceeds to literally “go through” the train. Sometimes a much excited passenger who has suddenly recollected that he has forgotten something rushes madly back into the train and discovers his portable property in the hands of the little man. Then, if he is of a suspicious disposition, he glares aud scowls at the little man, and sometimes pounces upon him and indignantly demands to be told what he is doing with “that.” Then a tired look comes into the little man’s face and he mildly explains that he is employed by the company to search incoming trains for articles left behind by passengers, which he conveys to the lost property room, where the owners can always get possession of them again by furnishing presumptive evidence that the things belong to them. . When Charlie—that is what the other employees about the.depot call him, al-; though he has another name which ap pears on the payrolls of the company first began this work, his beard wasn’t tinged with gray, and he wasn’t a hit stoop shouldered. ' That was 15 years ago. All these years, from 6:30 in the morning until 6:30 at night each day, he has been picking up things that careless passengers have forgotten to take with them when they left the train. It would make’any man stoop shoul dered to be continually looking for things that long. But his eyes are as keen as ever, and his honesty is still proof against all temptations. If that were not the case, he could have retired with a snug little capital. From the pocket books and purses and “wads” that he has found while, pursuing his unique pc cupation he could have slipped enough into his own pocket to render him quite independent. There are no blanks in his daily rec ords. Never a day goes by that he doesn’t find something that somebody has forgotten. He picks up fewer things on Sundays than on jmy ptiibr days; be cause on Sundays travrirfs comparative ly light, and passengers are apt to be less preoccupied with business cares and therefore «ot so likely to forget things. On some days his list of articles found on the incoming trains is quite a formi dable one. - j-, 7-. ’ 7 This, for instance, is what he turned into the lost property room on Thirteen umbrellas, two rings, (one plain gold and one with diamonds), one over coat, one package of legal pa pers, one this is what he found on Aug. 27: Seven umbrellas, one parasol, one shawl, one overcoat, one pair of shoes, one pack age containing a suit of clothes, one pair of spectacles, one purse, one flask of whisky and one smelling bottle. When the articles are taken to the lost property room, they are labeled -With'thk date on which they are found ifhe; number of the train. Nearly’ all the ar ticles that have any intrinsic value are redeemed. The rest are simply stored away for the gnawing tooth Cjf time so prey upon;' i Charlie is of ‘ he may be regard ea»a£'on ptl the subject, that every fop~ get something at are arrmOst. frequently! le(t behind travelers. The’ in&i wha’;6cKdi an infallible sykteipiby ov. > of>n umbrella remember, it Charlie has tried ; lds °wn y ’ was forced to it up. i ML He has the state of ecstaudihappitteas, pne of intenee^preoccuhatioiX,to produce iorgetfulnsss of 'portaple pAm-’ erty. He lias married bribes anff'urodms are quite apt to forget th 6 things may' be carrying |h<te as the itriajj vthp has got so nfdith business qp he can’t man who never Travels without aflask of whisky seldom forgets it. Perhaps Ihatlri because the act of putting it into his pocket immediately after taking a nip has been so often repeated that it -belongs to the category dr unciSns&buS* cerebration. If is not an infrequent thing fora tnlur to leave a stovepipe hat oh the rack had' *sspt'ottt_of. the car with a little skun on. But when he gets into the the small boys are sure to shout, the hat!” or “Where did yomgfet' t&rtwit?” Then he discovers the mis takjKat he has made, but the fact that grateful to the small boys him of it and never re them must be regarded as evi •'dence of that perversity inheritent in ' Hilton nature which so often puzzles i tiie philosopher. ’ ■ ‘CjiSrlie is x>f the opinion that some peojde would forget their own mothers- they had half a chance.
