Ip Sil W QUIIWO. VOL. X. QUIET AT THE CAPITAL. MR. PENDLETON DOES NOT WANT TC BE UNDER-SECRETARY. Five Hundred DismiNsal Blanks—Thomp son Out of the Race —Postmaster Pear eon —Few Changes— Another ('rank. Red Cloud Talks—Notes. Washington. March 17. -There is but lit tie doing in the department?. The most omlnious incident at the treasury was the ordering of live hundred dismissal blanks by appointment clerk of the treasury, indi cating that there were to be a numbar of changes in that branch of the service during the week. It was a quiet day at the white house, as nnt many of the politicians called during the day, and the afternoon reception blocked everything else. Nothing has vet been said to the president concerning the collectorship at New York, and as a matter of fact there is not a single name now before him in connection with this place. There it considerable strife as to the succession at the postoffices at Elmira, Geneva and Palmyra, N. Y., where the commissions of the incum bents will shortly expire. Numerous peti tions have been presented, and the congress men of the -list nets in which these offices are situated have been untiring in their efforts to induce the president to loot at matters, ft is likely that all the applicants will be put ©ut of misery early next week, or as soon as the present commissions expire. But one name has been presented to the president for the New York postoffice—that of Postmaster Pearson—and the petition of the New York publishers in his behalf is re ceived at the white h< It is now on the president s table for rrierence, but there is an impression that he will not reappoint Mr. Pearson. Indeed, it is whispered here among knowing New Yorkers that when anol her name is printed it will be nont other than Senator James Daly, the member from the Seventh district. Inspector Sharpe, chief of the inspector's division in the postoffice de partment, tendered Ms resignation, but Mr. Vilas did nut wish to accept it. Mr. Sharpe said he had made arrangements to go into business, and would have to insist upon his resignation. He consented to remain, how ever, until the Ist of May. The friends of Phil Thompson practically give up his chances fur the internal revenue oommissionership. They are talking of press ing him for the post of railroad commis sioner Ln the interior department. Dr. Miller, of West Virginia, appears to be the coming man for the internal revenue bureau. A. B. Dickerson, of New York, says he would not take the post of chief clerk of the treas ary. He expects something t tter. Warren S. Young was dropped from the white hou>« force to-day, but will probably be given a place in the departments. His place will be ftaed by James C. Saunders, of Arkansas, who was employed as a clerk by the national democratic committee during the last cam paign. Mr. Bayard is having trouble in filling the post of assistant secretary, because be wants to secure a better man than would consent to accept the position. He asked ex-Senator Pendleton to accept, but he has tW lined as a matter of course. Mr. Pendleton lias re Delved a very strong indorsement from the democratic senators for the English mission. Mr. Fairchild will begin active work at the treasury next Monday. Illinois has two can didates for the agricultural department—ex Congressmen Singleton and Stevenson. The-first cut in the force in the treasury and the of more have made a panic in that, department In the other uptown departments the forces are much smaller, ind are engaged upon work that would pre vent any reduction of consequence. An ex seption to the size of the clerical force should be made in the adjutant-ge.neral’B office, but It is generally recognized that eviry clerk is aoeded to keep up the record business for the pension office. In the war department there ire only sixteen offices which can l>e filled for party reasons. These consist mostly of ihe chief clerk of the department and the jhief clerks of the different bureaus. The heads of the bureaus are all army officers, ap pointed for an indefinite p» riod, and if re moved could be succeeded only by army officers. In the navy department there is a very rimilar condition of affairs, excepting that, she bureau heads, who are naval officers, are appointed for a period of four years. In the date department everything is quiet, and tear has been banished by the reassuring words <>f Sec rotary Bayard that nunovals would result only for good and sufficient rea •ons. It is thought that the Dew secretary of date will content himself for the present with the appointment of a first assistant sec retary to succeed Mr. John Davis and in looking after the foreign missions tn which there are to be changes. In the department if justice the attorney general has followed Secretary Bayard’s example and reassured die clerks under him. Some changes in the more important offices of this department are, however, anticipated. Senate. Washington, March 17.-e Mr. fllair sub mitted a resolution proposing the contmna tion o‘ the time in which the committee on Mluca Jon and labor may complete the inves tigation of differences which exist between capital and labor. Laid oyer. Mr. Dolph submitted a resolution authoriz ing the committee of coast defenses to employ 1 clerk. Laid over. Mr. VanWyck’s resolution calling upon the lecretary of the interior for information re specting the issuance of land patents to “back bone” railroads, and to inquire whether there was undue haste in executing said patents, was taken.up. Mr. Eustis spoke in opposition to the grant ing of the patents. He opjiosed the issuance because of the poor settlers to be disturbed on their present homesteads. He denied the le gality of title to the land. He briefly reviewed the history read and stated that in future the administration would be in full sympathy with the poor people and protect them from the rapacity of rich railroad corporations. [Applause in the galleries.] Washington Notes. Washington, March 17.—A man giving his name as W infield Scott Hancock was ar raigned in the police court and was commit to the workhouse for three months as a sus picious character. He says he walked from North Carolina to Washington for the pur pose of showing the president a patent he had invented to run the government. He as serts that he was elected president on the union ticket, but was kept out of office. Red Cloud, the Indian chief from the Pine Ridge agency, and Todd Randall, an inter preter, are now in Washington. Red Cloud said to a rep >rter: *1 was sent here by a council of my people to tell the great father what they want. They asked me to come and I came m a great hurry, because the business is urgent. The letter of Agent Mc- Giilycuddy about me published in the papers is not true. I speak from mv heart. ” The president has sent to the senate the nomination of Joseph S. Miller of West Virginia as commissioner.of internal revenue * Passing clouds interfered somewhat with the observations of the annual eclipse of the sun. Expulsive preparations were perfected at the naval observatory for the purpose. Fortunately the sky was dear at thu time of the contact, and this was accurately noted. Photographs were taken at the various stages of the eclijee by special apparatus for thu occasion. 1 leu. Hazen was upon the witness stand be fore the court martial, and said it had l>een published all over the world that, he was at fault for not rescuing the Greely party. He merely tried in his communication to show hat he was not at fault aud had done all in h;s power to save Greely and his men. Sec retary Lincoln in his annual nqxirt con firmed the opinion of the public that the wit ness was responsible for the failure to rescue Greely. It made him appear neglectful and inefficient Neither was true. He l>elieved that Secretary Lincoln had been misled into making the statements about him in his an nual report, which brought out witness<is' •riticisms about the secretary. The wit nesses’ intentions in criticisie the secretary of war was not to assail the secretary person ally, but to assail the facts stated by that officer on authority as secretary of war. Gen. Hazen reiterated his belief that on the return of the escort ship to St. Johns on Sep tember 13, 1883, there was still time to semi relief to Greely that fall. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. Passenger Train in Texas (<<>e| Through a Bridge with Fatal Ke-» Its. Dallas, Tax., March 17.—A seriousacci- j dent occurred on the Texas and Pacific mil- | road, at Village Creek, between Dallas and I Fort Worth. The through express train I from San Francisco to St. Louis was wreck- ; ed. The engine, the baggage aud the express •ar went through the bridge and were badly ! smashed up. The fireman. J. G. Hobeck, J was killed outright. Engineer Ibwho was ' fatally injured, A W. Adlett, a postal clerk, ; was seriously burned, ami S. A. Stewart, postal clerk, was injured internally, and thigh believed to be fractured. Woodruff, the baggage master, and Bogan, express messenger, were also seriously injured. It willwc.juire from two to three days <o clear away the wreck and repair the bri<lg»». The train was run back to I ? ort Worth and then made the circuit to Dallas over the Missouri Pacific via Deutin, arriving fibre eight hours late. The cause of the accident is attributed to the miserable work done on the bridge about, ten days ago, when it became ne<*<‘ssary to repair it, and also to the fact that since the -trike began no section men have becti em ployed to walk the track anti give notice of longer. As soon as the accident becamft mown.a large force of strikers from Mar ■ hall, Dallas and other points volunteered I tludr services, manned the wrecking train, J ;nd are now fixing up the bridg > and track, i no action of the strikers is highly com- I mended. The body of the fireman has not been found, and is supposed to be sunk in t t welve l feet of water. I TARRED AND FEATHERED. Outraged Southern Honor Avenged by a I’itrty of Senaitive <>uug Men. New Orleans, March 17.—E. F. Will man, a drummer for H, Strauss & Co., sale millinery, of St. Louis, met with an un expected reception at the hands of th« young mtn of Shreveport. He was treated to a coat us tar and feathers and allowed to <lcpart with the present next morning, after remain ing at the Junction all night. The cause of this pro -ee f'ng was hat some vears ago Willman was intrtwim ed through ’ riends into aociety, and received the great st courtesy on the part of the young people whenever he visited the city. About a year igo he came again and registered at the City hotel with a woman as his wife. The same •ottrtosies w arc extended him as before, but -.hortly after he left the woman who had been treated as his wife as courteously as himself, was found to be a woman of bail ' character. William arrived ot Shreveport and called upon several young men he had imposed * upon, who met him as if nothing had happen- • ed. He was invited to accompany them to a > [>arty in the suburbs of the city. He readily | consented and the gay party drove up to the cattle p ns, where sufficient tar and feathers were in readiness to transform into a bird. I William acknowledged his guilt and boggfid ' for mercy, but there wen* some present who I had leaimed he played the same trick at other places and he was accordingly tarred ami I .eatbennl. He wanted to borrow a pistol to I blow his brains out, rather than suffer the indignity, but was not accommodated. IN CANADA. Brojret for au International Park at Niagara f/allw in Danger. Toro.*’to, Ont., March 17,—The railway committee of the Ontario government has passed the Niagara Falls railway company’s ‘ bill This scheme, which will enable the • < ompany to build a railroad from Suspt nsion | bi idge to Queenstown, under the brow of the river bank, if carried out. will probably de stroy all hqpes of Loni Dufferin’s interna- I tional park project being consummat/*!. The i proposal met with considerable opjx*iition in i the legislator'' here by. members who thought ! that before the r barter was granted to the { company as pnqxjsed, the government should j say whether they had abandoned the idea of helping the state of New York to preserve • the beauties of the Niagara Falls scenery. ( A bill to incorporate a company of Cana <lians to co-ofierate with Americans by creating a park on the Canadian side failed to pass the Ontario legislature. The effect of the present railway bill here will, it is said, very likely impair the passage of the park bill now l>eing considered at Albany, as, of course, there is no use attempting to restore | and protect the scenery without a unity of i action on both sides of the river. The town council of Niagara Falls has petitioned the i Ontario government to suspend all legisla • tiou affec ting that district until it is seen what the legislature <*f New York intends to do in reference to the establishment of a pnrk on the American side.

The New Teinperanee Law Goes Into I£f feet - Di’eary Prospect. Atchison, Kas., March 17.—Since the passage of the temperance bill by the legis lature the liquor trade has been divided as to what it should do. Some dealers have gone out of business, and others are defiant, pre ferring to make resistance. The matter cul minated when County Attorney W. D. Gil bert gave notice that all saloons or whole salers of liquor doing business on and after Monday, March 23, would be prosecuted un dur the law. It is considered that this will settle the matter. E. M. Mosserman, general manager i the Pacific express company, has isshed a circular letter to all of his agents, calling ! their attent ion to Sections 2 and 17 of the , temperance bill, which says that any officer, j H." ut or employe of a railroad, express com- | pany, or other common carrier, who shall i know ingly deliver any intoxicating liquor to or for any person, shall b ■ found guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction be fined not less Ilian £IOO nor more than SS(M), and be im prisoned in the county jail not over sixty lays nor Jess than thirty days. This has re sulted m the stoppage of liquor shipments. SmxTinteii'i -nt J. McConniff, of the Bur lington and Missouri river railroad, has is sued a similar order to his agents.

A FOOL IN A DRUG STORE. Found Mixing Dangerous Explosives on • Dynamiter's Kogu* I’rvaeription. TitusviLiJC, Pa., March 17.—Great ex citement was occasioned here by an effort of some would-be dynamiter to blow up the drug store axl joining the oil exchange. Dur ing the absence of the proprietor a man ap parently thirty-five years of age, medium height, with full dark beard, stepped in and asked the boy clerk if he would put up the following prescription, which he handed him: “fcjaarh alba, 1 drachm; potassa perman ganate, 4 drachms; glycerine, 4 ounces; mix rn. siq. Apply externally.” (Signed) Dr. Rankin. Thu clerk started back to execute the or der, when the stranger stated he would re- ! turn for the prescription in ten minutes, and | went out 'J’he clerk had got the saach alba ' and glycerine together in his mortar when the proprietor returned, picked up the pre scription and hastily glanced over the prop erties to l>e used. Seeing the words |>otassa permanganate and glycerine made his hair stand on end, as Ihe two mixed are violent explosives. He dropped the prescription os though it were dynamite* Calling to the clerk to stop filling it he began an investiga tion. Tlie stranger, however, did not call again and has not been seen since. The mat ter has been placed in the hands of the au thorities. No cause is assigned for the act, us the drug store has lately changed hands. It is thought that it was the intention of the perpetrators to blow up the oil exchange building. The Dr. “Rankin,” whose name was attached to the prescription, is not known hereal>outs. oifl v» ar < laim. Americus, Ga., March 17.—The great grandfather of A. A.
