THE HAPPY LOTUS EATERS ALOOF FROM TH E VACILLATING HORDE How til Kew Official, are " Soldiering" OB the Administration The Work of VUas : and Eads What Vex., tne Sonl of Pat ColUnt. Special to the Ohio Siato Journal. 1 ' . Washikgton, May 6. "In one respect the President made a good selection in the appointment of Judge Durham to be first comptroller of the treasury," said an old official of that department today. "Judge Lawrence's opinions were sound in principle and exhaustive in detail. But they , were too wordy and it took too long a time to get them. Even on the most trivial question Judge Lawrence would write an opinion covering several pages of closely printed matter. This naturally led to delay, and work was piled up on his desk in a frightful manner. Durham -write his opinions on a sheet of note - paper, and- a case submitted; to him in the morning will come back with an opinion attached in the afternoon. Business in this office is naturally advanced materially by this change. I don't think that Durham's opinions are rendered after as careful a study of the law aa were those of Judge Lawrence, but they come quicker, and that is an important point. There : never was a more industrious or conscientious officer in the department than Judge Lawrence, but his place is on the bench, not as law officer of the treasury." Aa Old Idea Exploded. . One of the stock arguments against' the rule of the Republican party was the charge that officials did not attend to their duties constantly, and that they found it necessary to take frequent vacations. This charge, as applied to-the Republicans, was hollow and without basis. The Democratic party has been in power two months, and a number of the new ap- - pointees have held their places less than thirty days. Yet there are few of them who have been able to stick to their desks ' continually since appointed. Malcolm Hay, first assistant postmaster general, who. qualified early in March, has not ' been at his desk a single hour. Three - members of the new Cabinet have been r compelled to take brief vacations after the , arduous labors of their offices. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller fuund it necessary to get away for a week's rest. Solicitor Alexander McCue finds it necessary to run over to Brooklyn for a day or two, ostensibly to fetch his familly, but - really to recuperate. The secretary of state is at Fortress Monroe. The President breathed the air of Gettysburg on Monday, and Colonel Daniel Lament is still laid up with malaria. . Vacations - seoih popular with the Democratic party. -sMoro of Vila. Vilas seems' to be surrounding himself with men of his own calibre, much to the - regret of those having business with the Poetoffice department. Under the guidance of Mr. Biackfan the foreign mails division of the department was brought up to s high standard of excellence, and Mr. Crawfurd, who was promoted to the head of the division on the death of Mr. Biackfan, carried' out the policy laid out by his predecessor. Crawford was removed to make way for "Nick" Bell of Wisconsin. Bell is one of those few men who seem to think that the government was organized for the benefit of the politicians. He is a supercilious lout, arrogantly insolent to everyone in his office. Bell seems to suffer under the restraint of the civil service law. He is anxious to clean out bis office -to make room for Democrats, but can not get around the law. The clerks in the foreign mails divi- sion are among the most competent in the civil service. Bell can find no excuse for discharges, and therefore shows the mean-. nees that is in him by petty tyranny. A Scheme of Eads. a Captain Eads, of ship railway fame, and the Louisiana 'Lottery Company have taken the necessary steps to secure "influence" before Congress next winter. For some years the Democratic . organ here has been the organ of the lottery company, and the columns of that sheet have bristled with abuse of the post-office authorities because of the opposi tion to the great swindling combination of the South. Captain Kada has always found a convenient vehicle for the dis semination of his ideas in the same sheet. It is generally believed that Eads and the lottery campaay have held an interest in the paper since its foundation. With' in the past three months the National Republican and the Evening Critic, one a Republican the other an independent organ, have passed into new bands, and from the indications it is evident that the same master-hand controls the three journals. The lotterv people and Captain Eads now have three of the four daily papers here, and the man who attempts (o attack their interests will find the three papers jumping on him at once. Let V Pity Fat Collins. . "Already some of our party have found that a successful presidential campaign does not bring all the ease and enjoyment that we hoped for," said Representative Lovermif of Massachusetts today. "Now there is Collins of Boston. He is the Boston Democratic congressman and the chairman of the Massachusetts Democrat ic committee. He is accessible in his office and is fairly overrun. Collins is one ot the best young lawyers in Massachusetts and has an enormous business for a younginun. But he is utterly unable to attend to anvthinir now. When he went home after the adjournment of Congress ' he expected to be able to catch up with the work which loads down his office desk. But he has been fairlv hounded to death by officeseekers and has had to let his business go to the devil. I was in there the other day, when his partner came in with a brief in a very important case and insisted that Collins must attend to it at once. They almost had a fatal quarrel, but Collins could not possibly attend to it. II they don't let up they'll kill the best congressman in New England."

Yesterday a heavy square box, wrapped in red tape and securely bound, was found in anout-of-the-way nook of the vault, and the key mislaid.

The State department has not received any protest from the Austrian government concerning the appointment of Minister Keiley to Vienna, and the cabled rumor that objection will be made against him because his wife is a Jewess finds no credence in administra tion circles. This government recognizes no d fference between Jew and Gentile. It is also remarked that Mr. Keiley is not a Jewess except by parentage, as she abjured her religious faith when she mar ried a Catholic . j The Bcason Why. Washington', May 6.

The trial of Rich ard Short for the attempted assassination of Captain Thomas Phelan in O'Donovan Rossa's office was continued today. Phe lan was recalled and asked some unim portant questions, and the prosecution rested. The defense then opened with an address by their counsel, Charles W. Brooke. The latter mentioned that Phe lan came to this eitv to wreak his ven geance on Rossa because Rosea had published something in the United Irishman censuring Phelan. Counsel said that Phelan went to Rossa's office to attack him, and while there acted boisterously and threatened Rossa. Short spoke to Phelan, but the - latter attacked him and Short stabbed him with the dagger in protecting himself. The dagger, counsel . maintained, was one ot the ornaments ot uossa's oi-fice. Counsel would show that Phelan was not a reliable witness ; that he had perjured himself in a conspiracy against his superior officer while catain of the Capitol police at Washington. Walker J. Elliott tesuned to hearing Phelau threaten to lay out both Rossa and Professor Mezzeroff, the dynamiter. John T. Kenney, the liquor store-keeper, denied that he had written to Phelan to come to this city. The witness described Phelan s boisterous conduct in Bossa s ol- fice and his quarrel with Short. When the fight began Kearney said he left. Other witnesses corroborated the story of Phelan s threats with regard to Kossa and the fight between Short and Phelan. Alter recess Kicnard snort was sworn in his own defense and related the same story as told by other witnesses on the same side. He was shocked at the sug gestion that he could carrv a dagger. When the jury retired the lobbies of the court-house remained thronged with peo ple. The jury having made known that an agreement had been reached were brought into court and asked what their verdict was. ..-"ot guilty, answered the foreman. Short s mends set up a tremendous shout, but were quickly quieted by officers. The judge frowned in indignation and amazement at the ver dict and said: (jrentlemen. 1 am aston ished at your verdict. You are discharged trom ail lurtner service in this panel, "I move for the discharge of the prison er, said Counsellor .Brooke, trranted. said the Court, in a manoer that seemed to show that his honor was anxious to get rid of such extraordinary business. THE TBOK TRAGEDY. On the Trail of tho Murderer of the Chi cago Italian. : Chicago, May 6. Officers Morris and Arodo are working on the trunk mystery case, but up to last night had discovered nothing of any importance. The main efforts of these officers are directed to ward learning what expressman hauled the trunk to the depot on the morning of its departure from this city to Pittsburg. The brother of the murdered man was about the Central station during the after noon, but his ignorance of the English language made it impossible to obtain from him any information he may have ssessed. lhe truuk in which the body was shipped arrived last evening, and was found at the Adams Express Company's office on Monroe street. it was not claimed at midnight, and this was attributed to " the departure of Detective Bonafield for New York bv the evening train, accompanied by Francisco Carusso. The explanation of this new move is based upon informa tion derived froai Pittsburg officers. They state that the Italian who came through with the trui-k continued onto Aew xork, and his description corresponds with that of. the man who is represented as having checked the trunk at the tort Wayne de pot in Chicago ; also, with one of tbe men who lived in the same house with the Carussos, on Tilden avenue. His purpose in going to New York must have been to take the steamer, and Detective Bonafield will try to head hi in on. Tbe trunk is a large pine one. covered with paper and tied with cords, the sides being seated but the lock open. General Grant's Condition There Can ha hat One Conclusion. NawYoBK, May 6.

When Dr. Barker left "General Grant's house this, afternoon, where he had been on a visit, he said that the cancer lump on the tongue was not progressing so fast, because tbe general s system had become stronger.

WHY LUMSDEN RESIGNED. COULD NOT AGREE WITH GLADSTONE. The Press, Opposed to What They Term a Surrender of the Government In the Meantime Russia Remains Defiant. ENGLAND. Londos, May 6. The recall of Sir Peter Lumsden has created a general feeling of uneasiness, as it is expected to have an adverse influence on the patriotism of the natives of India, who will consider his re call a further concession to Russia. The Standard says: "We may count it a piece of good luck if the whole commission is not recalled." No news is obtainable of the appointment of an arbitrator. The .hang of the Belgians is spoaen oi in .Berlin as lhe potentate mst likelj to be chosen. Bismarck has had a long inter view with the Emperor of Germany? which is supposed to have concerned the Afghan question. This gave rise to the rumor that Doth Angiana ana nussia bad asked Emperor William to arbitrate for them. The Conservative papers think that the delay in finding an arbitrator foreshadows the difficulty of obtaining the consent of any European state to arbi-trate. Despite the semi-official denial of the previous rumors, rumors are now cur rent that the buaperors ot nossia, Germany and Austria will meet this year. The Times this morning complains of the reticence and ambiguity of the state ments of the government in regard to the Afghan question. It severely criticises the action of the government in recalling Sir Peter LnmsJen, and says the frontier question will be all settled before he can possibly arrive in London, and that, therefore, any information he may have will be worthless, so far as the negotiations with Russia in London are concerned. The Times also says that the change of purpose of the Ameer of Af ghanistan has placed the government in a different position, and that it is time to make him understand that he must strongly garrison Herat, and at least allow the English to superintend the fortification of the place. Even if peace is tem porarily secured it would be madness to waste the time thus gained, which at best can- be but small. The standard in an editorial says that the recall of Sir . Peter Lumsden completes the picture of En glish humility. The corporation oi Worcester - today presented Mr. Lowell with an illumi nated address bound in blue morocco, expressing regrets at his departure from the post of United States minister to England and eulogizing his literary aid to tbe Worcester library. Mr. Lowell in replying to the presentation speech eulogized his successor and said he was con fident Mr. r helps would do all in his power to maintain the cordial relations existing between England and America. Secretary Hoppin and Second Secretary White, of tbe American legation, were present at the ceremony. ibis was the second day of tbe New market first sp'iug meeting.

Bowling's bay colt, Paradox ; Mr. Gerard's Day cult, bv Kisber. out of Chopette. came in second, and Mr. Mackenzie s bay colt, the Child of the Mist, third. There were seven starters. An exchange telegraph dispatch from Vienna states that Baron von Schaeffer, tho Austrian minister at Washington, has been instructed by his government to ob ject to the appointment of Keiley, as United States minister to Austria. It is supposed that the fact of Mr. Keiley 's wife being a Jewess is the basis lor the objec tion, although nothing definite in regard to the cause of this action of the Austrian government is known. A dispatch from Simla to Keuter s Tele gram Company says: It is stated that Sir refer Liumsden has resigned the position of British-Afghan boundary commissioner, because of his inability to agree with the policy of the home government. RUSSIA. t St. Petersburg, May 6. The Journal de St. Petersburg says it is pleased to see that the debates in the British Parliament on the Afghan question have avoided the military question involved. lt declares that the tesumed communications between England and Russia have replaced the discussion on the basis of the real interests o'f Russia and England in central Asia, and expresses the hope that Mr. Gladstone w ll succeed in appeasing the present English agitation, "which has no reasonable course." "Russia," the Jour nal concludes, awaits tbe result with the same calmness she has hitherto displayed." CANADA. Ottawa. Ost.. May 6.

The work of digging for the bodies of tbe victims of yester day's fire was commenced this moraing. The extreme heat yesterday prevented any systematic search. The ruins were surrounded this morning by thousands of people, some merely curious, while others had a Bad interest in watching the work in the ruins. The firemen who worked down among the debris in the interior of the buildings said they could smell the sickening odor of burning human flesh, and occasionally, when the wind blew in that direction, tbe crowd Btanding on State etreet could distinctly detect the same horrible smell The ten tenement houses on Atlantic avenue that had their rears burned out were still unoccupied, and were in charge of policemen. The occupants sheltered themselves last night as best they could kindly neighbors having taken the most of them in. After two hours' work this morning the remains of another body was found and has been identified as that of William Clark, aged 24. employed in But ler s tin shop. Ip to 11 o clock today none of the bodies recovered had been fully identified although one of them is believed to be that of Daniel Lowry, the engineer of the burned building. The ether two bodies will probably never be fully identified, One of -them is without a head nd the other is simply a charred mans of flesh the trunk alone remaining. Up to noon today nine persons had been reported as missing at the Third sub-precinct sta tion-house. These are Gustavo Lunz. aged 20, single; William Legg, aged 43; Henry Durst, John McGraih, aged 15; Adolph Matts, aged 26, and Frederick Egger, aged 21. They are all employed at the shop of William Durst. At 3:30 there were four bodies found and at 5 o'clock the workmen took out twe more. This made nine discovered during the day. All were horribly burned. Alfred Kretzmer, aged 10 years, died early this morning in Bellevue hospital from internal injuries received at the fire on First avenue on Sunday morning.

He is now lying in a very critical condition. Western Associated Piess Dispatches. He Was Handy With a Winchester. Denver, May 6. The Tribune-Repub lican's Santa Fe., N.

H. Flynn, late of Boston, who was sleeping in the same room with Nelson in the house of M. S. Mabury.

A neighbor was alarmed, and came to the house, and he, too, waa shot dead.' It was eupposed the murderer remained in the house, and ten citizens watched it to prevent his escape, but at 7 a. m. the guards were surprised to hear a shot from the rear, and Harman Beck fell dead.

THESOtLNDOF THE BOGLE CALLING THE VETERANS TO QUARTERS Reunion of Society of the Army of the Potomac General Grant Ke-Elected President Didn't Want to Shake Rebel Hands An Exciting Scene. Baltimore, May 6. The eleven corps associations taking part in the reunion of the Army of the Potomac each had a separate place of meeting and spent the morning in organizing and electing officers. Each corps selected a vice president of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, and many resolutions were passed which were to be presented to the general meeting in the afternoon for adoption. Several of the corps directed that their vote be cast for the re-election of General IT. S. Grant as commander. The mention of General Grant's name was everywhere received with enthusiasm and seems to be pretty well understood that he will be honored with re-election. A number of letters were received from distinguished soldiers regretting their in ability to be present and expressing the warmest sentiments of good fellowship. Tbe proceedings so far have been marked . by good feeling, and the utmost harmony has prevailed. The City hall has been thronged all the morning with veterans who called to pay their respects to the city officials. The eeneral meeting was called to order by Vice President Major uenerai H. J. Hunt, in the absence ot the president, General Grant. Considerable time was consumed in reading the min utes of the last reunion, and so far nothing has been done toward the election of new officers. The business meeting was held at Ford's Grand opera-house. The stage was set as a camp. The portrait of Gen eral Grant hung in the center of the proscenium arch, and shields bearing the coats of arms of all states were placed around both galleries and from pillars hung gonfalons inscribed with the names of Grant, Burnside, Meade, Sherman, Sheridan, McClellan and Hooker. Many distinguished men occupied se on the stage. General : Horatio - King, corresponding secretary, called the meeting to order, and owing to the deafness of (jreneral tlunt, senior vice president, was compelled to do the chairman's duty most of the time. General King said he had been commissioned by General Grant to say he was greatly disappointed at not being able to preside over the deliberations ot the society, but his sympathy and heart were with his old comrades. Major General Hunt assumed the chair with thanks for the cordial reception given him. The reunion of Mm will be held at ban rancisco. Uenerai Vandervoort stated the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic would probably be held there next year, ana that the California Legislature had appropriated $25,000 for the entertain ment ot visitors, provided both organiza tions came at the same time. Cheap railroad fares were , promised and a cordial welcome guaranteed. Nominations for the ensuing year being in order, General John C. Robinson ad vanced oh crutches. Jtle thanEed his friends for the mention of his name for the Dosition of the command of the Army of the Potomac, but would under no circumstances allow it to be used in opposition to that of the illustrious soldier now holding the position, and he moved the secretary be authorized to cast one ballot, on which be inscribed the name of General U. S. Grant, Various corps associations seconded General Robinson's motion, and it was carried by a standing vote amidst . the w'l4)tiei. asm. Other officers were also re-elected. General W. H. Brown of Washington suggested that as the R. E. Lee camp of Richmond, Va., were in the immediate neighborhood, it would be both generous and graceful to invite them to occupy seats on the floor of the house and make their acquaintance. A motion to that effect was made and seconded, when two or three men jumped up and violently opposed such proceeding, one of them saying that rebels, no matter how repentant, had no interest in the business of Union soldiers, and that their presence was insult to which he could not endure. Nearly every man in the house was in stantly on his feet trying to make himself heard, and for a while there was a scene ot confusion, which threatened to terminate in personal encounters. The chairman vainly endeavored to secure order, and threatened to call the police. Quiet was finally restored, and a committee was appointed to invite the ex-Confederates to meet their old opponents after the business meeting was disposed of. Alter adjournment the committee ap pointed to invite R. E. Lee camp to seats on the floor, came in bringing with them a lone string of men in grey suits.

Returns from the Thirty-fourth "district where the election of representative to the state Legislature took place today are very meagre up to a late hour, but so far the indications are favorable to the Democratic canoiaate, Leper, although his majority will be small in com- Darison with the last election. .The Re publicans did not put a candidate in the field until nearly S p. m. and then-attempted to carry his election with a rush.

A, Weaver, was elected, but later reports make them feel easier. Will of Commodore Garrieon. New Yoek, May 6. The 'will of the late Commodore Garrison was filed for probate today.

Last evening two sprightly and hand some young ladies were brought to the city prison and given seats in the police telephone operator's room.' They had been taken from the Park rink in re sponse to a telephone message from Lancaster requesting the police to detain two young ladies named Lulu Lane and lla t iem, who had vacated that place and come up here to visit the riuks. They left home about 3 o clock yesterday after-d jod, taking their skates with them, and upon arriving here they put up at the JNeu houoe. Captain Willcox ordered Officers Butter- wick, Schlet.sii.ger and Reeb to watch the different rinks,and Butterwick went to tbe Park, as there was a contest there wbiob rsi1,lri nMhahlif attrant 4lt . IX- suoke to the managers about the case and Floor Manager Carson soon spied tbe girls, aud waiting until the confusion bich would follow the noor clearing, ap proached them and found out that they were irom Lancaster, tie then torn inem that there waa a gentleman in the office waiting to see them, and as they entered, Butterwick informed them that their company would be acceptable for a short ride, took them down to the bastileon the street . cars. So ' quietly was the whole affair managed that not six persons in tbe rink knew of their arrest. - At tbe prison they were interviewed and tbe following broken account was learned, isaid Miss Lane: "Papa went to Indiana yesterday and promised -me that I could come up here and visit my uncle, l told mama that I was going and she said I shouldn't and I said I would, and I got Ella to come along, and here we are!" The young ladies did not seem to be in the least dis concerted, and langhed over their eecapade ia a charming manner. They informed tbe reporter that "all the Lancaster girls chewed tulu," and gave him a piece to try his teeth on during the interview. Miss .Lane s brother arrived at 1U:3U last riii?ht and took both girls back with him Thev had made arrangements to spend me n'gut at mo ieu uuuse, aiiu were wanting to have only a good old time the misses are only lb years old, Dru netts and very prepossessing in appear ance. The Same Old Story. During the ram late last uight the patrol wagon was summoned to Nelly May's house on South Sixth street, where it was alleged a rebbery bad been committed It seems that a do tor from a neighboring town arrived on Monday, having quite a sum of money. With a friend he went, out to Nelly May's place and becam- drunk. While at this bouse he displayed a roll of greenbacks, amounting to about $34. His theory is that one of the two girls arrested last night robbed him of S25. He complained to the bar tender, and be summoned Officers Ber-caw aud Collier, who arrested the two irirls aud the doctor. The friend skipped out, and was not seen afterward. The if iris eav that this man had charge of the money, and that he made off with it. The man waa once a prominent physician of Logan, but took to drink and has thus lowered himself. He is now engaged iu selling patent medicines. Bumor About Payne. There was a rumor on the streets yesterday, which could be traced to no re liable source, that Senator Henry B. Payne of Cleveland had expressed his . . ; 1 . . . I TT 2.-J intention to resign nis seat iu iub uniieu States Senate, and that an extra session of the General Assembly would be called to fill the vacancy thus occasioned. The rumored cause for- this action on his part was dissatisfaction with tbe administration and his inability to secure recognition of a fubstantial nature for any of his Ohio friends. There is a strong probability that the idea of his resigning was batched fr a fertile imagination lor the purpose oi scaring Cleveland into giving some poor mossback or dasmng aid an omce. flien of the stripe of Henry B. Payne are not around resigning seats in the United States Senate, and especially so when thev have standard quotations and know the market value of the article. Fall from a Freight. Last night about 9:30 as the outward bound freight train on the Midland was passing Sugar Grove station Brakeman W. W. Wiler in attempting to set a break slipped and fell from the train, which was going about twenty miles an hour, and passed out of sight without discover- . . . , 1,711 ing nis aDsence. ner waa very lortu-nate in escaping with a comparatively Blight injury to tbe left knee, and making his way toward the depot, returned to bis home in this city on the midnight pas senger. Fireman Gus Witcraft, of the passen srer. was taken sick on the way in and was relieved at the depot. His sickness is believed to be temporary only. The reunion af the- State Association of Ex-Prisoners of War will take place the hrst Wednesday and inursday in August, at Chiliicntbe. Comrade W. H.

The directors of tbe board of trade were in session last evening, and were visited by some owners of real estate, who submitted certain plats of ground available for manufacturing purposes whit h were for sale. The board is desirous of obtaining as far as possible a description of every piece af ground in the city which can be nougat lor manufacturing pur poses, with terms, etc. Anyone having Huch property for sale will confer a favor bv submitting the same to the secretary of the board. No conclusion was reached upnn the matter of the settlement here of tbe Mau ley-Brown plow manufactory, arrangements for which are pending. O. A. B. Drill Corps. At a regular business meeting of the G. A. K. drill corps, held in the parlor of the Fourteenth regiment armory last last evening, the following officers were elected : Captain, A. G. Chapman ; first lieutenent, J. F. S. Jessop; second lieu-tenent, R. L. Fields. No change in the non-commissioned officers will be made until the next business meeting, when there will be a competitive drill for these positions. It is desired that all members attend every drill now aud Decoration day. If the weather permits drilling will occur on the east terrace of the M te-'louse. A special drill will be held nut Monday evening in addition to the regular Thursday evening drills. The Hayden Strike. The strike at Hayden's bame shop Las resulted very satisfactorily to the management in locking out about half tbe employes, comprising mostly men inclined to create aud continue tne d sturhance. The production of the shop has largely exceeded the demand for goods, and the firm would suffer no material loss if the faptnrv vera closed for a time. Tbe monthly product has reached 30,000 pairs, and this has created a stock from which the trade could be supplied for some time to come. - Tax Matters. The term of Mr. K. L. Hintnan as a member of the tax commission has expired, tognther with that of Mr. Luthtr Donaldson, of the board of sinking fond trustees. The common pleas judges will appoint the successors of thse gentlemen, both of whom will probably be reappointed. The sinking fund trustees will send to the council a statement -of how much money will be required for the coming year, and this the council will include in the annual municipal tax lew. The boaid of education will probably ask for the full levy allowed by law, 7 mills. Penitentiary Points. Yesterday was pay day. A chemical analysis of the water from the yard well is being made by Dr. Frank Warner. Daniel Findle was received from Pick, way county for one year for malicious destruction of property. The board of managers was in session yesterday, but adjourned until today without transacting aay other than routine business. The location of the new execution building was fixed at the north end of the west cell block. Mr. Mithoff appeared before the board and gave notice of his intention to vacate tbe building now in use by him, and Mr. Lanman, of the Columbus bolt-works, applied for more room for manufacturing purposes. It is stated that none of the bids under the piece-price plan will be accepted at this meeting, but that contractors can continue men under present arrangements until further notice. Different steps may, however, be taken today.It was announced some time ago that Rev. H K. Shank had been suspended by tbe United Brethren church for alleged malicious attacks on K-v. W. J. Sbuey. Tbe 'former claims that no snch action was regularly taken, tbat neitner side put in an appearance; the "auspensiou" m simply declared without due process of trial or authority. Ex-Mayor G. G. Collins, who has been lying very low for some days, was reported to be dying at midnight. . ,' 60 8 71.7 BW 75.4 8 67 4 BW 60.8 N

THE HAPPY LOTUS EATERS ALOOF FROM TH E VACILLATING HORDE How til Kew Official, are " Soldiering" OB the Administration The Work of VUas : and Eads What Vex., tne Sonl of Pat ColUnt. Special to the Ohio Siato Journal. 1 ' . Washikgton, May 6. "In one respect the President made a good selection in the appointment of Judge Durham to be first comptroller of the treasury," said an old official of that department today. "Judge Lawrence's opinions were sound in principle and exhaustive in detail. But they , were too wordy and it took too long a time to get them. Even on the most trivial question Judge Lawrence would write an opinion covering several pages of closely printed matter. This naturally led to delay, and work was piled up on his desk in a frightful manner. Durham -write his opinions on a sheet of note - paper, and- a case submitted; to him in the morning will come back with an opinion attached in the afternoon. Business in this office is naturally advanced materially by this change. I don't think that Durham's opinions are rendered after as careful a study of the law aa were those of Judge Lawrence, but they come quicker, and that is an important point. There : never was a more industrious or conscientious officer in the department than Judge Lawrence, but his place is on the bench, not as law officer of the treasury." Aa Old Idea Exploded. . One of the stock arguments against' the rule of the Republican party was the charge that officials did not attend to their duties constantly, and that they found it necessary to take frequent vacations. This charge, as applied to-the Republicans, was hollow and without basis. The Democratic party has been in power two months, and a number of the new ap- - pointees have held their places less than thirty days. Yet there are few of them who have been able to stick to their desks ' continually since appointed. Malcolm Hay, first assistant postmaster general, who. qualified early in March, has not ' been at his desk a single hour. Three - members of the new Cabinet have been r compelled to take brief vacations after the , arduous labors of their offices. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller fuund it necessary to get away for a week's rest. Solicitor Alexander McCue finds it necessary to run over to Brooklyn for a day or two, ostensibly to fetch his familly, but - really to recuperate. The secretary of state is at Fortress Monroe. The President breathed the air of Gettysburg on Monday, and Colonel Daniel Lament is still laid up with malaria. . Vacations - seoih popular with the Democratic party. -sMoro of Vila. Vilas seems' to be surrounding himself with men of his own calibre, much to the - regret of those having business with the Poetoffice department. Under the guidance of Mr. Biackfan the foreign mails division of the department was brought up to s high standard of excellence, and Mr. Crawfurd, who was promoted to the head of the division on the death of Mr. Biackfan, carried' out the policy laid out by his predecessor. Crawford was removed to make way for "Nick" Bell of Wisconsin. Bell is one of those few men who seem to think that the government was organized for the benefit of the politicians. He is a supercilious lout, arrogantly insolent to everyone in his office. Bell seems to suffer under the restraint of the civil service law. He is anxious to clean out bis office -to make room for Democrats, but can not get around the law. The clerks in the foreign mails divi- sion are among the most competent in the civil service. Bell can find no excuse for discharges, and therefore shows the mean-. nees that is in him by petty tyranny. A Scheme of Eads. a Captain Eads, of ship railway fame, and the Louisiana 'Lottery Company have taken the necessary steps to secure "influence" before Congress next winter. For some years the Democratic . organ here has been the organ of the lottery company, and the columns of that sheet have bristled with abuse of the post-office authorities because of the opposi tion to the great swindling combination of the South. Captain Kada has always found a convenient vehicle for the dis semination of his ideas in the same sheet. It is generally believed that Eads and the lottery campaay have held an interest in the paper since its foundation. With' in the past three months the National Republican and the Evening Critic, one a Republican the other an independent organ, have passed into new bands, and from the indications it is evident that the same master-hand controls the three journals. The lotterv people and Captain Eads now have three of the four daily papers here, and the man who attempts (o attack their interests will find the three papers jumping on him at once. Let V Pity Fat Collins. . "Already some of our party have found that a successful presidential campaign does not bring all the ease and enjoyment that we hoped for," said Representative Lovermif of Massachusetts today.

The trial of Rich ard Short for the attempted assassination of Captain Thomas Phelan in O'Donovan Rossa's office was continued today. Phe lan was recalled and asked some unim portant questions, and the prosecution rested. The defense then opened with an address by their counsel, Charles W. Brooke. The latter mentioned that Phe lan came to this eitv to wreak his ven geance on Rossa because Rosea had published something in the United Irishman censuring Phelan. Counsel said that Phelan went to Rossa's office to attack him, and while there acted boisterously and threatened Rossa. Short spoke to Phelan, but the - latter attacked him and Short stabbed him with the dagger in protecting himself. The dagger, counsel . maintained, was one ot the ornaments ot uossa's oi-fice. Counsel would show that Phelan was not a reliable witness ; that he had perjured himself in a conspiracy against his superior officer while catain of the Capitol police at Washington. Walker J. Elliott tesuned to hearing Phelau threaten to lay out both Rossa and Professor Mezzeroff, the dynamiter. John T. Kenney, the liquor store-keeper, denied that he had written to Phelan to come to this city. The witness described Phelan s boisterous conduct in Bossa s ol- fice and his quarrel with Short. When the fight began Kearney said he left. Other witnesses corroborated the story of Phelan s threats with regard to Kossa and the fight between Short and Phelan. Alter recess Kicnard snort was sworn in his own defense and related the same story as told by other witnesses on the same side. He was shocked at the sug gestion that he could carrv a dagger. When the jury retired the lobbies of the court-house remained thronged with peo ple. The jury having made known that an agreement had been reached were brought into court and asked what their verdict was. ..-"ot guilty, answered the foreman.

THE TBOK TRAGEDY. On the Trail of tho Murderer of the Chi cago Italian. : Chicago, May 6. Officers Morris and Arodo are working on the trunk mystery case, but up to last night had discovered nothing of any importance. The main efforts of these officers are directed to ward learning what expressman hauled the trunk to the depot on the morning of its departure from this city to Pittsburg. The brother of the murdered man was about the Central station during the after noon, but his ignorance of the English language made it impossible to obtain from him any information he may have ssessed. lhe truuk in which the body was shipped arrived last evening, and was found at the Adams Express Company's office on Monroe street. it was not claimed at midnight, and this was attributed to " the departure of Detective Bonafield for New York bv the evening train, accompanied by Francisco Carusso. The explanation of this new move is based upon informa tion derived froai Pittsburg officers. They state that the Italian who came through with the trui-k continued onto Aew xork, and his description corresponds with that of. the man who is represented as having checked the trunk at the tort Wayne de pot in Chicago ; also, with one of tbe men who lived in the same house with the Carussos, on Tilden avenue. His purpose in going to New York must have been to take the steamer, and Detective Bonafield will try to head hi in on. Tbe trunk is a large pine one. covered with paper and tied with cords, the sides being seated but the lock open. General Grant's Condition There Can ha hat One Conclusion. NawYoBK, May 6.

WHY LUMSDEN RESIGNED. COULD NOT AGREE WITH GLADSTONE. The Press, Opposed to What They Term a Surrender of the Government In the Meantime Russia Remains Defiant. ENGLAND. Londos, May 6. The recall of Sir Peter Lumsden has created a general feeling of uneasiness, as it is expected to have an adverse influence on the patriotism of the natives of India, who will consider his re call a further concession to Russia. The Standard says: "We may count it a piece of good luck if the whole commission is not recalled." No news is obtainable of the appointment of an arbitrator. The .hang of the Belgians is spoaen oi in .Berlin as lhe potentate mst likelj to be chosen. Bismarck has had a long inter view with the Emperor of Germany? which is supposed to have concerned the Afghan question. This gave rise to the rumor that Doth Angiana ana nussia bad asked Emperor William to arbitrate for them. The Conservative papers think that the delay in finding an arbitrator foreshadows the difficulty of obtaining the consent of any European state to arbi-trate. Despite the semi-official denial of the previous rumors, rumors are now cur rent that the buaperors ot nossia, Germany and Austria will meet this year. The Times this morning complains of the reticence and ambiguity of the state ments of the government in regard to the Afghan question. It severely criticises the action of the government in recalling Sir Peter LnmsJen, and says the frontier question will be all settled before he can possibly arrive in London, and that, therefore, any information he may have will be worthless, so far as the negotiations with Russia in London are concerned. The Times also says that the change of purpose of the Ameer of Af ghanistan has placed the government in a different position, and that it is time to make him understand that he must strongly garrison Herat, and at least allow the English to superintend the fortification of the place. Even if peace is tem porarily secured it would be madness to waste the time thus gained, which at best can- be but small. The standard in an editorial says that the recall of Sir . Peter Lumsden completes the picture of En glish humility. The corporation oi Worcester - today presented Mr. Lowell with an illumi nated address bound in blue morocco, expressing regrets at his departure from the post of United States minister to England and eulogizing his literary aid to tbe Worcester library.

An exchange telegraph dispatch from Vienna states that Baron von Schaeffer, tho Austrian minister at Washington, has been instructed by his government to ob ject to the appointment of Keiley, as United States minister to Austria. It is supposed that the fact of Mr. Keiley 's wife being a Jewess is the basis lor the objec tion, although nothing definite in regard to the cause of this action of the Austrian government is known. A dispatch from Simla to Keuter s Tele gram Company says: It is stated that Sir refer Liumsden has resigned the position of British-Afghan boundary commissioner, because of his inability to agree with the policy of the home government. RUSSIA. t St. Petersburg, May 6. The Journal de St. Petersburg says it is pleased to see that the debates in the British Parliament on the Afghan question have avoided the military question involved. lt declares that the tesumed communications between England and Russia have replaced the discussion on the basis of the real interests o'f Russia and England in central Asia, and expresses the hope that Mr. Gladstone w ll succeed in appeasing the present English agitation, "which has no reasonable course."

THESOtLNDOF THE BOGLE CALLING THE VETERANS TO QUARTERS Reunion of Society of the Army of the Potomac General Grant Ke-Elected President Didn't Want to Shake Rebel Hands An Exciting Scene. Baltimore, May 6. The eleven corps associations taking part in the reunion of the Army of the Potomac each had a separate place of meeting and spent the morning in organizing and electing officers. Each corps selected a vice president of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, and many resolutions were passed which were to be presented to the general meeting in the afternoon for adoption. Several of the corps directed that their vote be cast for the re-election of General IT. S. Grant as commander. The mention of General Grant's name was everywhere received with enthusiasm and seems to be pretty well understood that he will be honored with re-election. A number of letters were received from distinguished soldiers regretting their in ability to be present and expressing the warmest sentiments of good fellowship. Tbe proceedings so far have been marked . by good feeling, and the utmost harmony has prevailed. The City hall has been thronged all the morning with veterans who called to pay their respects to the city officials. The eeneral meeting was called to order by Vice President Major uenerai H. J. Hunt, in the absence ot the president, General Grant. Considerable time was consumed in reading the min utes of the last reunion, and so far nothing has been done toward the election of new officers. The business meeting was held at Ford's Grand opera-house. The stage was set as a camp. The portrait of Gen eral Grant hung in the center of the proscenium arch, and shields bearing the coats of arms of all states were placed around both galleries and from pillars hung gonfalons inscribed with the names of Grant, Burnside, Meade, Sherman, Sheridan, McClellan and Hooker. Many distinguished men occupied se on the stage. General : Horatio - King, corresponding secretary, called the meeting to order, and owing to the deafness of (jreneral tlunt, senior vice president, was compelled to do the chairman's duty most of the time. General King said he had been commissioned by General Grant to say he was greatly disappointed at not being able to preside over the deliberations ot the society, but his sympathy and heart were with his old comrades. Major General Hunt assumed the chair with thanks for the cordial reception given him. The reunion of Mm will be held at ban rancisco. Uenerai Vandervoort stated the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic would probably be held there next year, ana that the California Legislature had appropriated $25,000 for the entertain ment ot visitors, provided both organiza tions came at the same time. Cheap railroad fares were , promised and a cordial welcome guaranteed. Nominations for the ensuing year being in order, General John C. Robinson ad vanced oh crutches. Jtle thanEed his friends for the mention of his name for the Dosition of the command of the Army of the Potomac, but would under no circumstances allow it to be used in opposition to that of the illustrious soldier now holding the position, and he moved the secretary be authorized to cast one ballot, on which be inscribed the name of General U. S. Grant, Various corps associations seconded General Robinson's motion, and it was carried by a standing vote amidst . the w'l4)tiei. asm. Other officers were also re-elected. General W. H. Brown of Washington suggested that as the R. E. Lee camp of Richmond, Va., were in the immediate neighborhood, it would be both generous and graceful to invite them to occupy seats on the floor of the house and make their acquaintance. A motion to that effect was made and seconded, when two or three men jumped up and violently opposed such proceeding, one of them saying that rebels, no matter how repentant, had no interest in the business of Union soldiers, and that their presence was insult to which he could not endure. Nearly every man in the house was in stantly on his feet trying to make himself heard, and for a while there was a scene ot confusion, which threatened to terminate in personal encounters. The chairman vainly endeavored to secure order, and threatened to call the police. Quiet was finally restored, and a committee was appointed to invite the ex-Confederates to meet their old opponents after the business meeting was disposed of. Alter adjournment the committee ap pointed to invite R. E. Lee camp to seats on the floor, came in bringing with them a lone string of men in grey suits. They were greeted with great applause and in return filled the house with the genuine rebel veil. The ex-Confederates were scattered among the blue-coats and their. omcers invited to the stage. Colonel McGinnis of Montana welcomed them and Commander General Cooke responded. Short addresses were also made by Colonel Charles Marshall, chief of General Lee s staff, and Colonel ,vans ot Kich-mond. The reception at Ford's opera-house tonight was a brilliant success, Hundreds of ladies were present. On the stage were many men distinguished in military circles, ia ine auaieuce were it, E. Lee camo of ex-Confederates. Gen eral King, secretary of the soeiety. read the following telegram from General Grant, "Please thank tbe members of the So ciety of the Army of the Potomac for their nartialiiy in electing me for a second time their president. 1 wisn my neaitn nromised a probability of my being at the next meeting, l would regaia it as providential should i be able to attend, but I accept the honor, though without hope of performing tbe duties ot the of fice.

Last evening two sprightly and hand some young ladies were brought to the city prison and given seats in the police telephone operator's room.' They had been taken from the Park rink in re sponse to a telephone message from Lancaster requesting the police to detain two young ladies named Lulu Lane and lla t iem, who had vacated that place and come up here to visit the riuks. They left home about 3 o clock yesterday after-d jod, taking their skates with them, and upon arriving here they put up at the JNeu houoe. Captain Willcox ordered Officers Butter- wick, Schlet.sii.ger and Reeb to watch the different rinks,and Butterwick went to tbe Park, as there was a contest there wbiob rsi1,lri nMhahlif attrant 4lt . IX- suoke to the managers about the case and Floor Manager Carson soon spied tbe girls, aud waiting until the confusion bich would follow the noor clearing, ap proached them and found out that they were irom Lancaster, tie then torn inem that there waa a gentleman in the office waiting to see them, and as they entered, Butterwick informed them that their company would be acceptable for a short ride, took them down to the bastileon the street . cars. So ' quietly was the whole affair managed that not six persons in tbe rink knew of their arrest. - At tbe prison they were interviewed and tbe following broken account was learned, isaid Miss Lane: "Papa went to Indiana yesterday and promised -me that I could come up here and visit my uncle, l told mama that I was going and she said I shouldn't and I said I would, and I got Ella to come along, and here we are!" The young ladies did not seem to be in the least dis concerted, and langhed over their eecapade ia a charming manner. They informed tbe reporter that "all the Lancaster girls chewed tulu," and gave him a piece to try his teeth on during the interview. Miss .Lane s brother arrived at 1U:3U last riii?ht and took both girls back with him Thev had made arrangements to spend me n'gut at mo ieu uuuse, aiiu were wanting to have only a good old time the misses are only lb years old, Dru netts and very prepossessing in appear ance. The Same Old Story. During the ram late last uight the patrol wagon was summoned to Nelly May's house on South Sixth street, where it was alleged a rebbery bad been committed It seems that a do tor from a neighboring town arrived on Monday, having quite a sum of money. With a friend he went, out to Nelly May's place and becam- drunk. While at this bouse he displayed a roll of greenbacks, amounting to about $34. His theory is that one of the two girls arrested last night robbed him of S25. He complained to the bar tender, and be summoned Officers Ber-caw aud Collier, who arrested the two irirls aud the doctor. The friend skipped out, and was not seen afterward. The if iris eav that this man had charge of the money, and that he made off with it. The man waa once a prominent physician of Logan, but took to drink and has thus lowered himself. He is now engaged iu selling patent medicines. Bumor About Payne. There was a rumor on the streets yesterday, which could be traced to no re liable source, that Senator Henry B. Payne of Cleveland had expressed his . . ; 1 . . . I TT 2.-J intention to resign nis seat iu iub uniieu States Senate, and that an extra session of the General Assembly would be called to fill the vacancy thus occasioned. The rumored cause for- this action on his part was dissatisfaction with tbe administration and his inability to secure recognition of a fubstantial nature for any of his Ohio friends. There is a strong probability that the idea of his resigning was batched fr a fertile imagination lor the purpose oi scaring Cleveland into giving some poor mossback or dasmng aid an omce. flien of the stripe of Henry B. Payne are not around resigning seats in the United States Senate, and especially so when thev have standard quotations and know the market value of the article. Fall from a Freight.

The strike at Hayden's bame shop Las resulted very satisfactorily to the management in locking out about half tbe employes, comprising mostly men inclined to create aud continue tne d sturhance. The production of the shop has largely exceeded the demand for goods, and the firm would suffer no material loss if the faptnrv vera closed for a time. Tbe monthly product has reached 30,000 pairs, and this has created a stock from which the trade could be supplied for some time to come. - Tax Matters. The term of Mr. K. L. Hintnan as a member of the tax commission has expired, tognther with that of Mr. Luthtr Donaldson, of the board of sinking fond trustees.
