FROM WASHINGTON,
JUOCE CRESHAM SUCCEEDS TO THI
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Me Is Notified at the Last Moment of
HU Appointment and Qualfiee at
Midnight—Much Cossip
About the Matter.
Washington, September 25,—Judge W.
Q. Gresham, postmaster-general, received
a telegram from the President after 11
o’clock last night, informing him of his
appointment to the secretaryship of the
treasury. He immediately qualified and
neat to the resident lis resignation as
postmaster-general. At 10 o’clock this
morning Mr. Gresham went to the Treas
ury Department with Secretary Chandler.
His designation from the President was
Riven to him by Mr. O. L. Pruden, assist
ant private secretary to the President, and
his commission by the third assistant
sectary of atate, Mr. A. A. Adee. The
ivm assistant secretaries of the treasury,
Messrs. French and Coon.were present and
tendered him their congratulations. The
new secretary will leave here this «vening
to consult aiih the President. Under the
law, First FAesUtnnt Postmaster-tieneial
Hatton became acting postmaster-general
for ten days.
The President to-day designated Assist
ant Secretary Coon to act as secretary of
the treasury during the absence or sick-
nesa at any time of Secretary Gre.-ham.
Mr. Coon was al.*o authorized by the sec
retary to sign in bis stead all warrants for
Ihe payment of money into the public
treasury and all warrants for disburse
xnent from the public treasury of money
certified by the proper accounting officers
of the treasury. A a-milar authority to
sign warrants during the absence or sick
ness of Assistant Secretary Coon was dele
gated to Assistant Beer, tary French All
bureau and divi*inu officers of the depart
ment called on tlie new secretary about
noon, and were presented by Mr. Coon.
A great df al of speculation and com
ment has been occasioned by the state of
affairs in the Treasury Department, much
of which has been condensed in an article
intbc&fflr this evening, from which the
following extracts are made: “Thefact
of the appointment of Judge Gresham was
not generally known until this morning,
and it cause d great surprise among mem
bers of the cabinet. Howevir, it has been
tho subject of talk for several dnys past,
and Judge Gre ham has known that he
might be called upon to take the place in a
certain contingency. The contingency was
the inability to obtain a decisive answer
from the gentleman whom the Prev.dt nt
has in view for the treasury portfolio.
This gentleman is believed to be Hugh
McCullough. Judge Gresham accepted
the position as a matter of accommodation
to the President, and his intimate friends
aay that It is only a temporary appoint
ment. The duration of the appointment
is commonly fixed till shout the 1st of Oc
tober, when it is believed that Judge
Gresham will resign and accept a judge
ship on the Illinois circuit
bate Isst night, after he had retired,
Judge Gresham was visited by assi-tant
BecreUry of Htate Adee, who told him that
lie had received a commission from the
President for his appointment as Secretary
of tho Treasury. This was an entire sur
prise to the Postmaster-General, and the
only intimation he had received bf such a
. possibility was a te egrsni from the Presi
dent a couple of dsys ago asking him
(Gresham) if he would be in town on the
2-itb. Secretary Chandler, who lives near
Mr.Grcshan . was at once summoned, aud
Gresham tendered his resignation as post
master-general, which was accepted by
Secretary Chandler for the President. Tho
letter of resignation simply consisted of Its
address and the form of words, “I hereby
resign the office of postmaster-general of
the United States.” AssUtint Secretary
of State Adee informed Mr. Gresham that
St was necessary for htin to qualify an Sec
retary of the Treasury before midnight.
Thereupon the three efikisls proceeded to
the residence of Judge Wylie, corner
of Fourteenth street and Massachusetts
avenue, and the oath of office waa admin
istered by h m. This morning Mr. Gresh
am occupied the desk of S* ret ary of the
Treasury. He is not well, and baa gone to
»w York to confer with the
President, and it is doubtful
if he will return to bis
new duties at < nee. Mr. Coon will act as
secretary during his absence. The cir-
( um tuncee attending the appointment of
the new lecretar? are venr peculiar. The
fact that Gresham waa offered the treas
ury portfolio shortly after the dea'h of
BecreUry Po'gtr, but decliued it, the sub
sequent designation of Mr. Coon to act as
secretary, and the delay in making the ap
pointment till within an hoar of the lim
ited time lead to the belief that the Pre i-
deat was waiting for a response from some
one who had been tendered the office. It
is the impression that the r* tponve was
not receivtd in time, or that it was in the
shape of a declination. Hence the sudden
appointment of Gre-ham; and there
aei uistobeno doubt about the truth of
the rep< rt that Grealiam’a appointment
would be but temporary. The belief
that thePretldeOi intended to give the
treasury portfolio to an ex-rccretanr of
the tree* i'<ry (a still entertained, and bo.h
Boutwell and McCullough arc mentioned
hi that connection. The rtelgnatlon of
the postmaster-generalship leaves that
office vacant. It was supposed tbatGreah-
ham’s com mission as secretary o! !be
Treasury would be accompanbd by one
appointing Frank Hatton as Postmaster-
General, but there was no communication
from ih** President on that subject Mr.
Hattoit will act as Ptstmaster-General,
and it is generally thought that he will re-
ceivathe permanent appointment

of a slight character. The injured were

Philadelphia, September 26.—A new
suit has been brought in the courts of this
city by Father Stack, a Roman Catholic
priest, against Bishop O'Hara, because of
the Bishop's continued refusal to reinstate
ihe priest in a professional office. The

Propaganda, and was lecogtvzeri in

An Anti-Mormon Crusade.
Nashville, September 24—The anti-
Mormon crusade has broken out afresh
Sixteen miles routh of Lebanon, which is
thirty-three miles from Nashville, Mormon
elders made their appearance nix years
ago and began to incuica'e their doctrine
into Ihe minds of an ignorant class of peo
pie living in what is known as “ihe Dren
non setthment.” Many member* of other
churches soon embraced the beliefs of the
Mormon Church, and the labor* of various
ministers of o her denominations proved
unavailing. For six years these Mormons
have been nnmolested. but the murder of
Elders Gibbs and Berry in Lewis county,
has greatly alarmed them. The feeling
has been intensified by the porting of no
tices warning them to leave Wilson coun
ty. never to return, on pain of death.
It is declared that thu conduct of the
Mormon adherents has been such that
some step was necessary to compel them
to emigrate, and it is understood that
should Ihe warning bo disregarded th»*
threat will be carried into execution. In
teresting developments are expected In
Lewis and Hickman counties, where aim
liar notices have b* en posted. Most of the
Mormon converts are very poor, and will
find it difficult to obtsin enough money to
take them beyond the State limits.
The Potato Crop Outlook.
8raiNoniLD, Mass . September 24.-The
Aew England Home tit ad will this week
publish an elaborate report on the potato
crop, from nearly 1,00 * special correspond
ents. These reports show that throughout
the Canadian provinces, New England and
New York, the acreage and yield are con
siderably btlow last year’s. As a whole
the acreage has decreased about fifteen per
cent., and the yield is about one-third less
than in 1683. This mskei the acroige
nearly the same as in 1882, with a consid
erably lighter yield. Trices now range
from twenty two cents per bushel, as the
lowest shipping price iu New York 8*afe,
to $1 at eastern Massachusetts towns,
averaging thirty-five and fifty cents per
bushel. Tbe rot is quite prevalent and
grubs have greatly injured the tubers in
many sections. The crop In the Eastern
provinces and Quebec is short. In tome
sections it is almost a complete failure.
New York’s average and yield are below
the figures for 1883 and there is a general
disposition to hold. The Western crop it
below the average, and tbe Southern de.
mand promises to be larger than usual.
All indications are in favor of higher
prices. _ _

a wedding in Hartford late this afternoon that

had toyed with tho arts sufficiently to have
more than a superficial knowledge of them:
Hho was tall, of vhupely figure, and of a
blonde type. Aa the youngest of the family
ahe had been putted, and her whims
had been gratified in every wav. .She
had but just mode her debut In the so

grounds ten yean ago. Over 100 trees,
whose trunks averaged one foot In diame
ter, were transplanted. To adapt them to
removal their roots were cut off at a dis
tance of three and a half feet from tbe
trunk. Tha operation was retarded as

For six months or more Mrs. Bhcpard con
tinued to live In New Haven, and among her
acquaintances wus Clark I* Hmedlcy, a mem
ber of that large firm of expressmen ami for
warders. whoso office Is on state street. M:ncd-
ley was with her a great deal, and bu lavished
presents upon her. That he was Impelled by
love and not by passion is shown ) ~
tho marriage that occurred In llarifoi .
this afternoon. Hmedley disliked to have
the woman he was In love vqith remain In
New Haven, where people were speaking
lightly of her, ami at hia solicitation she came
to this city to reside with an aunt to silence
ssasSpiss tongues, Ho wanted !e make her
his wife; but said that he could only marry
her from her own home in Hartford, ami with
the approval of her family. He very much
wanted to have a reconciliation between Gov.
Hubbard and his fiancee; but the houored
statesman passed to his rest on the 2ttth
of February of this year without having
forgiven his daughter the mortification she
had brought him. His sickness was of short
duration, and the penitent woman, on hearing
that her father was fatally IU, hurried to Hart
ford to see him. But he was unconscious when
she reached the bouse, and In a few hours he
died. Those who knew him well said he hod
been a broken-hearted man ftatn the day he
first learned of Nellie’s marriage.
By the advice of family friends the unhap
py daughter waa prevailed upon nottole
present at tbe funeral, but she saw the cor
tege pass to the cemetery from the windows of
the house of an old friend. Hlie returned to
Meriden and made every effort to again cam
•he esteem of her old acquaintance*. A few
weeks after the burial of her father
she again visited Hartford, and was
received with open arms by her
mother and sisters, and she has been at the
old home several times during thu summer.
A month ago she went to Hartford, where she
remained with her family until she departed
to-night on her wedding journey. Hbu kept
aloof from callers, and only the immediate
friends of the faroUy knew that she wa* there.
The neighbors, even, did not know It.
This afternoon Mr. Hmedley went to Hart
ford with a gentleman friend. From the rail
way station they were driven to the Halls of
Record. Where a marriage license wo* procured

doubt they will continue to do so, but if tWm
la not some further provision made, it wiWiot
he long before their warrants on the treasury

In a conversation on this subject this morn
ing with one of the commissioner*, he stated
that ho thought there would be no difficulty
on the score of getting the money, but that a
greater question was liable to conje up. In
view of the money depression .hero and the
llkcllhtxxi that it will be even greater next
year—whether tho work will not be abandoned
for the present.
It may be said that no good will come of a
premature agitation of this matter, but it U
evident that it must come up before the Legis
lature soon to meet, and there is no reason
why it should not now lie considered. If it Is
the wish of the people that the work should be

there is no doubt but that the Htate can find
Plenty of money with which to pay the bills.
It is very clear, however, that the next Legis
