A VERY HEALTHY LOT OF CLERKS A Curious Decrease in the Number of Sick People in the Departments. Washington, May 6. —The Sixth Aud itor’s office is just now undergoing a general •haking up. One of the worst abuses in the Department service is the matter of siik leaves. Every employee gets thirty days’ regular leave of absence and when un avoidably ill is granted leave of absence until able to attend to duty. Under this regulation when a male clerk was suffering from a headache from a night out with the boyß he could remain at home, and whenev era female iljrk wanted to go to the mati nee she could report herself sick. Auditor McConville, who fouml_the work of his office from one to six months behind, has been inquiring into the matter and a report con cerning the same was laid upon his table. The figures are curious. They begin with the manth of July and include April. The first month shows an absence roll of 726 regular leave davs and 571 sick days lor 372 clerks; August 1,342 days regular leave and 620 sick. This continues until after election with an average sick roll of 552 days per month. After the election the leaves suddenly drop to 152 regular and 395 sick. For April it runs 164 and 300 and 379 and makes an average of 400 sick days a month. Compared with the sick returns of the spring season of former years this improvement of | the general health of the government em ployes since the election is remarkable. In this small office the improved healthy tone is worth five men and about six hundred dollars a month. From indications this sudden lies lthv con dition extmds to every branch of the ser vice. At the same rate it makes a practical increase of clerical force of about fifteen men in every thousand, or ISO men in the departments alone, which at an average of i salary would amount to about $22,500 per mouth. This is not an extravagant esti- I mate, but a fair deduction irom the figures furnished. The government is a big thing, j and a day apiece wasted bv the departmental employes represents thousands of dollars. Repealed thus every month and it runs up at the end of the year to a quarter of a i million dollars. The matter of econ my is something to the government, but t e re turn of general health throughout the ser vice is probably more to the employe. A HID CLAIM. To 4,000,000 Acres of Land Pronounced Fraudulent. Washington, May 7.—An extraordinary claim was lately forwarded to the Commis sioner of the United States General Land Office, coming up from the land officers of Arizona. The (1 dm is under a grant from Spain to one I’eralta for a region of country 49 by 150 miles, aggregating 4,000,000 acres i of land. The grant purports to carry with it all minerals. Among the papers present- ! ed area decree from Ferdinand VI., King of Spain, a report of a riyal 'ribunal of in- j quisition in favor of the grant to Peralla i,y the Viceroy in 1758 amt a statement of Peralta as to locatior, a petition of Persia praying for confirmation of the grant, and an order of King Carlos 111. confirming the grant. Upon this showing the Surveyor General of Arizona has been ex amining and studying up the subject, as he says, for a year and a half, and great alarm has existed among the settlers, some of whom ! have been buying titles under the alleged grant. The Surveyor General reports that he can find no corroborative proofs. Com missioner Sparks’ letter to him recites these facts and, after informing the Surveyor Gen eral that searches among the archives at the City of Mexico and the city of Madrid utterly fail to show any trace or record of the grant; lie adds that the title is so plainly spurious that it would lie better for the Surveyor General hereafter not to waste his valuable time on this subject. This sort of claim is quite common in countries where the titles are derived from Spain. Appointments by the President. Washington, May 7 —The President t>dav appointed J.

The Cadets Drill Between 11:30 ami I O’Cloek—A Good Drill, But the Mem bers Suffer From Excessive Heat- Three Faint After the Drill is Over, But Now Well Again— A Chance For Taking the Third Pli/.e. Special Dispatch to the Daily Times. Camp Drum, Mobile May 7.—The day opened beautifully and everything was auspicious for ’he $4,000 drib.

Colonel Yerger, of Austin, had just fin ished writing a letter. It was very import ant that it should go off by the next mail, so he rang the hell, and upon the colored ser vant, Matilda, appearing, he handed her the letter, saying: “Take this letter to the letter box on the corner, as fast as you can. It is very im portant.” Matilda, the colored girl, went out with the letter, and meeting tlie coachman, handed it to him, remarking: "Jess you take dis heah letter to de letter box.” The coachman started out with the letter. He happened to see a friend passing, and it occurred to him that he might save himself the trouble, so he handed his friead the letter, requesting him lo post it without delay, as it was very important. That night the coachman’s friend, just before retiring, made the discovery that he had forgotten to post the letter, so he gave it to one of the boys at the stal le, enioing him to put it in the letter box early next morniDg. The stable boy was about to to comply with the request next morning, when a baker, with whom he was acquainted, hap pened to drive past in Lis cart. ‘‘Hello, Tom,” exclaimed the stable boy, “you take this letter and drop it in the letter | box, and save me the trouble.” .Among the customers of the baker boy was Colonel Yerger himself. Just as the baker boy drove up to the Yerger mansion, Matilda, to whom the letter had been origin ally given, was just going out of the gate on her way to market. The baker boy handed her the letter, with the request to shove it in the letter box. But just at that moment Mrs. Yerger happened to open the door and saw the baker hoy hand her servant a letter. "I will have no such goings on as that in this house,” exclaimed Mrs. Verger, and she seized the letter from Matilda’s hand, and running into the house, exclaimed in an excited voice to < clone! Verger: “It is not safe to have that .Matilda about ! the house any longer. Here she is getting | letters on the sly.” j She handed the letter to Col. Yerger, who j recoiled in astonishment w’hen he perceived I the identical letter he had written and ad ! dressed the night before. Muttering an ex- I clamation ton profane to print in a family paper, Col. Yerger violently forced himself into his coat, remarking: “Now I will post that letter myself, and then 1 will know it is done.” Extracts from a Frivate Letter.

The parquette and dress circle of the theatre were completely filled last night with a select and fashionable audien e to hear the Milan Opera Company in Doni z tti’s beautiful opera, “Lucia di Lammer moor,” with Mademoisel'e Emilia Benic as “Luna,” Signor Montegriffo as “Edgardo,” Signor Vansani as “A JitOD,” Signor bologna as “Riirnond,” and Signor Benedetti as “Arturi.” This was Mile. Benic’s first appearance before a Savannah audiei.ee, and she achieved a decided success Her voice is thoroughly cultivated and under perfect control, and this added to her marked per sonal attractions, taste in dress, and fine talent as an actress, established her in favor at once with the audience, and she received hearty applause throughout the evening. Signor Montegriflo fu’ly sustained the repu tation he had previously established as a tenor of rare excellence, while Signor Vansaui, and the others who took part in the cast added to the favorable im pressions they had made in Trovatore and Fa ust. Lucia is one of the most exquisite operas | ever composed. It glitters throughout with sparkling gems, and always proves un ! usually attractive. The entertainment last | night was no exception to the general rule, and though the opera was somewhat marred by the cutting out of two of the prettiest gems of the composition in the third act, notwithstanding, the audience was delight ed, and the performance as a whole was thoroughly enjoyed. To-night the beautiful and ever popular opera of Martha will be given with Mad emorselle Romeldi iu the title role. This opera is l-zplete with beautiful music and d lightfu! chorines, which never fail to call j for the loud applauses. To make it specially i attractive, Mile. Benic will ting thecele j brated air by Proch in the fourth act so ! universally popular and generally known as the air to which “The Last Rose cf Sum j rner” is sung. Another lull house and j another charming evening may be looked J forward to with certainty. I. O. O. T. Odicers of Savannah Lodge No 500. At the regu'ar - meeting of Savannah Lodge No. 500, I. O.

The day of the glorious drummer is on the wane, if I am to believe stories told to me in wholesale mercantile houses. It was the fashion of old for the country merchant to make his regular trips two or three times a year or more, but the commercial traveler | caine into vogue, and ordering by sample on | the score of econcmy kept the regular store keeper home. Now comes the old fashion again. The country dealer lias come to look upon the breezy drummer with coyness when he and his gripsack heave in sight, for the provincials look upon the modern way of stocking up their stores as rather specious. Some drummers—and I speak only on hearsay—are credited with much wordly mindedncss, and the retailer a hun dred miles or so away from New York worries occasionally when he hears hints of big hotel and livery bills, of champagne suppers and royally carried on flirtations. ‘Perhaps,’ is his argument, ‘the pay for all these very wicked doingß comes out of my pocket after all.’ He does not know that all drumme-s are disguised millionaires. So it comes that the out of town customer de termines to visit New York, drive his own bargains on the spot, and if fun must 1 e paid for, enjoy a little of it on his own account. “Now, one of the results of this change, as I understand it, is that the wholesale houses in certain lines, whose names rank ‘way up,’ whose methods fare the strictest and most honorable, are called upon to put a new force of men in their employ. The cruntryman stopping at a New York hotel finds, thajsoon after registering, a kind Prov idence enables him to run across a compan ionable stranger—the agent of the whole sale houses—free, though, from all smell of the shop, who shows the stranger some of the city’s sights and in gratiates himself completely into his good graces. The fish bites, the sequel occurring in the big establishment, where the merchant greets his new customer and gets his Older. This new aid in the mercantile line is good looking and well dressed, intelli gent and thoroughly understands what is re quired of him. It is emphatically a partial return to the old time wheli the dealer at a distance made his visit of each season to the city- and was brought directly in contact with his supplier. THE HARNETT HODSB, SAVANNAH, Visitors to Savannah, Ga., will find the Harnett House a comfortable and desirable stopping place, where the charges are mod erate, while the uniform excellence of the table is a subject of general remark-.-Chi c>go National Hotel Reporter. POWER OF REMOVAL. THE PRESIDENT’S AUTHORITY CALLED IN QUESTION. Has He the Bight to Remove Interr al Revenue. Collectors The Question Raised Over the Removal of Col lector Craig, of West Virginia— The Solicitor of Internal Re venue ami the United States Supr me Court Sustain President Cleveland. A special dispatch from Washington, says; There has been a good deal of discussion about the removal of Internal Revenue Collector Craig, of West Virginia, based upon a misconception of the powers of (he President, Some of the op position papers have questioned the power of the President to suspend internal reve nue collectors, and have argued that the Treasury had no authority to pay the men put in the place of the suspended officials. The subject has been carefully poked into by Mr. Chesley, Solicitor of the Internal Revenue Bureau. He said to a friend to day: “The section referred to gives to the President during the recess of the Senate the power of suspension and the designation of another to perform the duties of the office of any civil officer appointed by the Presi dent save United States Judges. By the later statute of 1577 the salaries of internal revenue collectors were adjusted at a maxi mum of $4,500 and a provision inserted that no collector should draw any part of the salary until confirmed by the Senate, except in cases of vacancies caused by death or resignation during the recess of the Senate. Still later, in 1879, the statute j cf 1877 was amended by leaving out the ! words ‘by death or resignation,’ and no j later statute has been passed affecting the qutsion, sj that at present, if the suspension of the former incumbent created a vacancy, then the President has the right of suspension of a collector with or without cause, and can designate his successor, who draws the salary until the Senate refuses j t > confirm him or until he is suspended, j Whether a vacancy exists in Ciaig’s case is a question applying already to many others j of a similar nature, and such cases are likely to have a considerable increase in the num ber of newly appointed persons. “The United States Supreme Court decid ed that question in the case of Farden, 9 Otto, page 10. Collector Windner was sus pended under statute of 1870 by a Supervisor of Internal Revenue for fraud, and died pending the investigation of the charges. The Supreme Court decided that his suspen sion created a vacancy, and the person desig nated by the President to fill that vacancy, Farden, was entitled to the salary until his successor was appointed, although he was never con r ned by the Senate. It is true that Winder’s suspension was not under sec tion 1,768, Revised Statutes, but was by a supervisor and for fraud. But if that sus pension created a vacancy surely a suspen sion by the President, who has the right of suspension with or with out cause, must also create a vacancy. Th4 same statute, however, which gives to the President the power of suspension provides that the person designated to fill the placs of the suspended official can receive his salary no longer than the expiration of the next term of the Senate, unless confirmed, and if not confirmed the office shall be in abeyance and without salary, fees or emolu ments.” Mahone, of course, will make a big fight over the confirmation of Sheppard, assigning as a cause Sheppard’s prominence as a Virginia Democratic politician and Secretary of the State Committee, and charging him with complicity in the Dan ville massacre. THE FFLUGER MURDER. Trial of James O’Reilly—A Jury Secured. The case of James O’Reilly, who is charged jointly with Mr. Frank Devine for the murder of Emile Pfluger, came up for trial in the Superior Court this morning. A panel of seventy-five jurors was drawn last Saturday for this purpose, and of this number thirty-four were struck for cause. The State struck four and the defendant fourteen. The following panel was then selected to try the case: H. C. Davis, W. W. Rogers, W. Scotia Tyson, S. F. DuPcnt, Jr,D. W. Woodruff, W. M. Davant, Oscar N. Berry, B. L. Owens, James Barbour, Jacob S. Collins, J. W- Moore, J. E. Free man. The lawyers Btarted to strike the jury at 11 a. m. and completed their work at 12:30 After this court took a recess until 1 p. m- At this time the court was reconvened and Dr. Robert P. Myers put on the stand on the part of the State. He was followed by Mr. Gcss and Mr. Moess«er, all of whom testified substantially she same as they did at the time Mr. Divine was on trial for complicity in the same case. O'Reilly is indicted in four counts as fellows: First count—Murder as to both. Second count —Divine committed the murder and O’Reilly principal in first di gree. Third Count —fames O Reilly committed the murder and Devine principal in the first degree. Fourth Count—That O’Reilly was acces sory before the fact because Devine commit ted the crime and O’Reilly, while absent aided and abetted it. The first and third are not the same and O’Reilly will be tried on these counts. Devine was acquitted on the other two. The same lawyers are engaged for the State and defendant on the Devine trial. It was going on at 2:30 o’clock. An Anumoly, Lieutenant John Green, of the police force, had on exhibition at his office in police headquarters, this morning, a strange looking egg. It was a double one, perfect in shape and of symmetrical proportions and had a well defined depressed line in the centre. The double egg is one seldom seen. It was pur chased, among others, by Mrs. Green at the City Market yesterday. SOOO A YE AR THE VACANT BISHOPRIC. How Nominations are Made to the Pope- Father Cafferty Spoken of For the See of Savannahs A Macon dispatch of May the sth to the Atlanta Constitution says: “For years it has been the custom of the Catholic bish >pß of the province of Baltimore, in which the diocese of Georgia is situated, to ap point bishops to vacant sees without regard to the wishes of the people or the feeling of the people. In this matter men are set over them of whom they know nothing, and with whom they have no personal sympa thy. Bishop Gross, who has lately been el-* evated to the Archbishopric of Oregon, though a stranger, made himself thorough ly acceptable to the people. While his departure is regretted, it was deemed a fitting opportunity for the priests of the diocese to assert their right of nominating the next Bishop, who should be one of their own number. It is understood that F'atber Pendergrast, as the eldest priest in service in the diocese, took the initiative in feeling the eclesiasti cal pube. The result was an agreement to meet here. The meeting was remarkably successful, being attended by 21 of the priests. It was resolved by them to present to the Pope the name of Rev. F’ather Ed ward McCafierty, the Vicar Get e al un der Bishop Gross, for the Bishopric.” Now, it is a fact that while as a matter of courtesy the priests in the diocese should have a voice in the matter, yet with the ; nomination of a Bishop they have not the : remotest influence except, as said before, by i courtesy. The nomination is sent to the j | Pope by the Bishops of the Province of ; Baltimore. This province has tbe follow -1 j ing spiritu; I heads, who will make the - : nomination: Most Reverend James Gibbons, D. D, Archbishop of the Baltimore Arch Diocese; Right Reverend Thomas A. Becker, D. I), Wilmington, Dilaware; Right Reverend John J. Kean, D. D, Richmond, ! Va ; Rev. Henry Northrop, D. I)., of Char leston, and the Vicarate of North Carolina; Rev. J. J. Kain, D. D, of Wheeling, West Va; Right Rev. Wru. Moore, D. D., of Florida, and Very Rev. E. Cafierty, Admin istrator of Georgia. This constitutes the nominating committee of the Archdiocese, who will suggest a name to the Pope for his confirmation. No action has yet been taken by them. The Times heartily endorses the following from the Constitution: “The nomination of Rez. E. Case ty to the Pope for the see of Savannah, is a worthy compli ment to a churchman who has braved peeti lence in the discharge of his doty. He is a manofsclid attainments, and will reflect credit upon his order.” THE CITY COURT Bnsinrsg Disposed of Duiing February- Term.

This court has been of incalculable ■ good to the litigants to the settlement of disputes and to the punishment of crimi * nals who would overrun the city, but for the interposition of the legs 1 barrier by whose judements and verdicts hundreds of criminals have been placed at work in drain ing Cuyler Swamp and Musgrove Creek, and opening up for cultivation rich and profitable lands. The court, as will be seen ha 6 accomplished a wonderful amount of good. THE MAY FESTIVAL, For the Benefit of Ihe Industrial Relief . Society. 1 The May Festival, at the old United States Barracks yesterday, for the benefit of the Industrial Relief Society, was a decided 1 success. A large number of young people ' attended to participate in the pleasures of clowning the Children’s May Queen, which took place at 9 o’clock in the evening, Miss Janie Cunningham having been chosen as queen of the hearts of her young companions. The coronation ceremonies were very pleas ant and attractive, and the May pole dance, which closed tlie festivities, was thoroughly enjoyed by the loyal subjects of the youthful ; sovereign. Upuu Miss Annie Lynah fell tbe houor of being chosen Queen of the young ladies, and the ceremony of the coronation was entered into with as much pleasure as was that of Miss Cunningham. She made a very pretty speech from the throne to her sut jeelp, and formally opened the dancing festivities, ■ which were kept up for seme hours. The I entire entertainment was a success in every ■ respect, and to Mrs. Wade, Mis. Holst, Mrs. - Wilder, Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. McNulty, and ■ the other ladies who evinced so much in terested therein, ail credit is due^
