lay, through the civil-service rales, appointed to a special commissionersbip in the Pension Office, at $1,400 a 'year. Noah W. Ilolley, of Tipton, was also-appointed to a like place to day. A. B. Armington, of Greensburg, has been appointed sneeial swamp land agent of the General Land Office, at $1,400 a year. Thomas McSheehy. formerly of Indianapolis bow an attorney, of Fremont, O., is here on professional business. Mr. McSheehy was a special examiner in the Pension Office when Colonel Dudley was commissioner, but was removed when Black cam in, on the ground of offensive partisanship. F. L. Cravens, of Madison, is at the Ebbitt Chas. M. Wilson, of Indianapolis, is also here. Gen. Lew Wallace is being liberally advertised to lecture at the Congregational Church, in this city, on next Tuesday evening. Col. A. C. Thompson, Representative of the Portsmouth district, is being talked of for Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio, since the deelination fif Governor Foraker to run again. Colonel Thompson was re-elected to Congress at the last election by an increased majority, and is one ot the most popular men in the State. The impression prevails, however, that Foraker is not in earnest in declining to run again. John Clark Ridpatb, of Greencastle, arrived this evening. Gen. George H. Williams, of Lafayette, has concluded to build a residence here this spring. Mrs. Williams is here, and will remain. Second Comptroller Maynard has disallowed the claim of J. H. Rnssell for $106,000, the alleged value of the steamboat "H. II. Rnssell." destroyed by fire on March 27, 1864. The Comptroller says that the most that can be said in support of the claim of "impressment" in this case is that to the extent of conveying a single company of cavalry between Baton Rouge and White Hull, the wishes of the owner were disregarded and his will subjected to coercion by the military authorities, but in all other respects ni3 command and control over the vessel Were not suspended, and the general business in . which he was engaged was not interfered with. In his judgment this is not such an impressment as the law contemplates. The President has accepted the resignation of Gen. P. M. B. Young, of Georgia, consul-general at St. Petersburg, but has not yet selected his successor. The interstate-commerce bill was incidentally mentioned durin to-day's Cabinet session, but nothing was said by the President to indicate his intention in regard to it. The Secretary of War to-day sent to Congress reports from the engineer corns submitting a plan for revetting the bank of the Willamette river, for about 6,000 feet near the city of Corvallis, Ore., in order to .prevent a threatened chance in the channel by which Corvallis will be left at a considerable distance from the river, and navigation greatly impaired. . It is estimated that the work will cost $14,000. Major McKenzie, of the Corps of Engineers, In a report submitted to the Senate to-day by the Secretary of War, recommends that as much as may be necessary of the $25,000 appropriated in the river and harbor act of 1884 and 188b', for the construction of a pier at the outer wall of the DesMoines rapids canal, be authorized to be expended in the establishment of a floating boom ''.onnecting the wall with the upper draw

of the bridge at Keokuk, and that if any tnoc-iy :emains on band when this work is completed that it may be used in continuing the improvement of the DesMoines rapids under the present project. The Chief of Engineers, in an accompanying report, concurs in these views, and recommends the enactment of the legislation necessary for the change in plan of improvement DAILY TFEATHEK BULLETIN.

James Short, Jr., aired twenty-two years, took his life, this morning, by shooting himself with a shotgun, at the residence of his father, three miles northeast of this place. He came to the house from the field, and after exchanging a few commonplace remarks with his mother went up-stairs to his room. A few minutes after the family heard the report of a gun, and upon going up to the room found the young man covered with blood which flowed from a ghastly wound' under his chin. Esquire Miller, beintr summoned, held an inquest, and it was developed that the young man had tied a string to the .trigger of a shotgun, placed the muzzle under his chin, and taking the string in his hand discharged the gun, lodging the contents in his brain.

The Doctor says that he will enter suit for damages against the Sentinel, and he pronounces the alleged detective, who has been in this city for some time, as a fraud.

She failed and made her husband, Dr. Kisner, a preferred creditor. It is further alleged that said "detective" is an advertising agent for a soap manufactory at Zanesville, O., and that Mrs. Everick was owing them at the time of her failure.

A Flattering Sketch of Green Smith. Indianapolis Special to Chicago Tribune. McDonald, Voorhees and all the rest of the leaders, up to the middle of December, could not yield to the plan to put Smith in Robertson 8 place, but party necessity drove them into line, and now they loot at bmith as he stands before the Senate with mingled awe, distrust, amuse ment and self reproach. When Smith says to a Senator, "You sit down. I've let this go far enough and the Chair won't hear any more of it," they marvel at him and hope for the beat He is trying to correct his manners and use passable Enelish, but makes a sorry appearance In the joint convention ho savs: 4,The Secretary of the Senate will call the names of Senator and each Senator will name the Senator for whom he votes for." Green saw the suppressed laughter each day when be made this announcement, and yesterdav he tried to follow Speaker Sayre s formula for the House part of the convention. The Speaker savs; Each member will rise in his nlace and desipnate the person for whom he votes." Green got it this way: Each Senator will stand up and desisnate the person for whom he votes for." However, he is im proving somewhat, and is growing milder in his manner. The difficulty with him is that, just as in the above illustration, he does not Know wnen ne is right and when wrong. A few weeKs' association with gentlemen would make him ambitious to be like them, just as association with the Bourbons of southern Indiana has made a good-natured, but would-be bad-natured, boor of him.

THE GEEAT LABOE STEIKE.

Business at New York and Neighboring Points Still Very Greatly Impeded. Laborers Brought from the West Refuse to Go to Work A Small Outbreak at Jersey City Other labor News. AT NEW YORK. Not Much Chance In the Situation Police Precautions. New York, Feb. 3. Very little freight is be ing moved along the river front this morning, and moss of the railroad piers on the West Side are still closed. The New York Central has 150 men at work discharging a big float, that for the past few days has lain at the pier, but the progress made is very slow. The company is receiving all the freight that is offered, but mer chants are shipping nothing more than the most urgent orders, fearing delay. The Pennsylva nia railroad introduced a hundred men on Pier 5, but they were all green hands who had never handled freight before. One gate was open this morning and a few trackmen disch arged several tons of freight on the bulk head. The Lehigh company, at Pier 2, did not open its gates, but some freight was being handled on the dock. The company does not, the agent says, feel the inconvenience much. The New York, Lake Erie & Western nut on a force of men in nlace of the strikers and fSmed their pier for the receipt of freight Very little""was received. On the steamship piers there was much improvement. Freight was being moved mostly by new men. There is an abundanco of unskilled labor to be had, and the superintendents of the docks have more men than they have places for. The trouble is that these men have had no experience at freight handling. The trouble on the Gnion line pier was further complicated this morning, when Alex. Taylor, the dock stevedore, resigned. He claimed that he could not work with the force on hand. At the Hudson-river freight depot, a gang of Italians left work and joined the strikers. The master workman of an Italian local assembly of the Knights of Labor called at the headquarters of the Ocean Association, and told the committee that seventy-five Italians who were working as non-union men were willing to strike if admitted to the union. The offer was accepted and the men struck. An officer of the Ocean Association says that an Italian is paid $2 a head for supplying men to the steamship companies. The con-union men on the Mallory line pier who struck several days ago have joined the union. Police Superintendent Murray has taken vigorous measures to suppress outrages. Police Inspector Steers has taken charge of the police along the piers, with headquarters at Pier 39, North river, with a large force of uniformed police under command. The river fronts are practically in a state of siege. One thousand police have been massed in reserve at four different points. Patrol wagons have been stationed at each place so that the whole force can be concentrated at any given point in a short time. The one thousand men can handle twenty times that number of rioters. One thousand more are in reserve at police headquarters. In case of a riot the whole force can reach the scene inside of an hour. Fully one hundred detectives have been detailed for the duty along shore, wearing plain clothes. The captains chosen to command the tour divisions under Inspector Steers are the most moderatetempered men on the force. They have been selected as not likely to provoke a fieht, while fully able to carry it on if begun. All the river stations report half hourly to Superintendent Murray. Up to noon no trouble had been reported. The superintendent thiuks that he is able to reprMB any disorder or rioting that might arise. "TThe 1,700 employes at Higgins's carpet factory have a nit work because "scab" coal is used by the firm. The State legislative committee to investigate the causes of the coal 6trike met here to-dav. and after issuing summonses for witnesses adjourned until to-morrow. Over three hundred non-union men, of every nationality, were brought to Pennsylvania Piers 27 and 28 this morning, including twenty negroes. Upon finding a strike in progress they refused to go to work. They came under the impression that they were to lay tracks Fifteen went over to the strikers, and the others went to Jersey City. Over two hundred more were kept on a tug-boat and not allowed to land. Police guarded the Savannah pier to-day for the first time during the strike. Non-union men are boarded and lodged on a barge at the bulkhead. They fear trouble in consequence of the shooting anray or lutBday night At the Hudson river railroad sheds, at St Johns Park, a number of men were brought into the yards in closed cars to fill the places of the Italians who joined the strikers. They were not allowed to go outside, as the pickets of the strikers are around. The police guarded them. The superintendent said he could get all the men he wanted, and that the strike would not delav the delivery of freight The boats of the Fall River line have not comnienced running, and no freight is received. The freight handlers on the Baltimore & Ohio pier, 43 North river, left work 'this afternoon, being called out by delegates. They obeyed with reluctance, as they never had any trouble with the company. Thev were the last of the railroad men to go out The men told Superintendent Brooks that they had no grievances, but were forced to go out on call. They loaded up nil freight on the pier and swept the place clean. The men refused to accept any pay for their work, as they were going out on call by the union, not on any grievance of their own. The Republic, of the White Star line, and the Erin, of the National line, could not be loaded by the green hands in time to start to-day. The Morgan line pier is choked with freight and the gates are closed. Green men began to unload the Aelutia. Regular men union men are loading the Cunarder Aurania. The Roanoke and Breakwater.of the Old Dominion line, sailed to-day, but not with fun cargoes. A public meeting of business men has been cailed to meet at Steinway Hall on Saturday nieht, to consider the cause and the cure of the wrongs which the business men and others are subjected to by the controversy between the coal transportation 'and other companies and their employes. James Farrell, a non-union man, was assaulted by a gang of strikers, and is supposed to be fa tally injured. Bringing Laborers from the West. Cincinnati, Feb. A Knights of Labor who have been watching the matter closely, say that agents are here trying to employ men to take the place of strikers in New York city; that they f0 . ! - S V . are onering iree transportation ana to $l a Week, with extra pay for over-time. It is as serted that about fifty men have been obtained, tout they were joined by Knights, who on the way will endeavor to dissuade them from work ing against the interests of workingmen. A Pittsburg dispatch says: A party of fortysix men, m charge or John Kayburn, of Cincin nati, passed through this city on a special car this morning, attached to the limited express. en-route to Jersey City, to take the places of the striking 'longshoremen. The men had been picked up in Cincinnati by Mr. Raybnrn, who said he had instructions from Peter Wright & Sons to engage them for the Red Star Steamship Corapay. They will be put to work on the Jer sey City docks immediately upon their arrival. Another car-load will reach here from the West to-night A New York dispatch says: The men who were brought from Cincinnati to work on the piers here refused to go to wort when they learned that thev were expected to take the place of strikers. The Chamber of Commerce Interested, New York, Feb. 3. At the monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, to-day, a resolu tion was offered by John F. Henry for a com mittee of members to investigate the present

labor troubles, and offer to arbitrate the differences. James H. Seymour moved to substitute a resolution that the strike is diverting business to other cities; that it is the right of business men to legally insist that the transportation companies shall perform their duties and handle freight, and that the chamber call a meeting of business men to discuss the cause and remedy of the existing situation. The whole matter was, after debate, referred to the executive committee, with power to act

AT OTHER POINTS. General Strike Threatened at Port Richmond. Philadelphia, Feb. 3. A general strike will be ordered of the Reading railroad coal hands of the Reading railroad at Port Richmond to-day. A committee from the New York strikers has visited the coal-handlers here, and from the statements made by the men it is expected that a uniform movement will be inaugurated along the. entire line and at all the mines. President Corbin has not yet returned from New York. President Roberts, Vice-president Thomas and General Manager Pugh, "of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, are in New York endeavoring to bring about an understanding with the striking freight-handlers. A Small Blot at Jersey City. Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 3.

Kaiiey, who is at the head of the organization, says that questions of general in terest to both the miners and operators are being considered. They are aiming, he says, to get j ustice for all parties, coal operators and miners alike, in competing districts. " e want to put a stop to ruinous competition, said he, ' and keep within bounds on all sides. I do not waut to see the price of coal advanced to such an ex tent in any market as will be oppressive to the poor, but, on the otner hand, it is desirable that the price of coal be sustained to allow the miners fair compensation for their work and the operator a just profit Our executive board will con sider all these questions, and adopt the best pos sible means of bringing about the desired result If permitted, our representative will attend the meeting of miners and mine-owners, to be held at Columbus, on the 8th."

Dr. McGlynn TUiU St. Stephen's at Night to Get His Papers. New York Star. A roost affecting scene occurred at the pas toral residence of St. Stephen's Church, on Sat urday night. All of Dr. Curran s effects had been removed, hut the devoted young priest would not leave tne house wnile any of Dr. Mclilynn s papers remained, ana was muen per plexed as to what should be dope. He was try ing to solve the difficulty when he heard a step behind him, and, on looking around, was as tonished to find the figure of Dr. McGlynn before him. The eyes burned with feverish bril liancy, while the cheeks were deadly pale, and his breathing came in short, quick gasps. When Father Curran recovered from his first surprise he rusned forward with outstretched hauds. ex claiming: 'Mv dear Doctor, why have you done thisi What made you come out on such a nightl But you are weak; sit down," and he hurriedly brought forward a chair. The suspended pastor made a sau attempt at smile, and said wearily: "Yes, I fear I have overtaxed mv strength, and have left a sick bed acainst the order of my physician, but I could not test easy. Yon, one or tne last oi au my friends here, have to leave, and I feared for my papers. 1 cannot leave them in the care of strancers." "But this stealing out in tne night air will make you worse." I could not help it. i win go oacK at once. There is a carriage at the door to take me away when I get my -papers. My secretary. Mr. Smith, is here, and he will take away whatever else remains. A hurried consultation followed, and all the private documents were gathered up and placed carefully in a large leather bag, then putting on a large soft hat which effectually concealed, his features, he prepared to leave. Silently he gazed around at the old. familiar articles, many of them placed there by himself. I hen he advanced through the inner room to the private door of the church, which he cau tiously opened to tafce one last look at the evi dence of his former greatness. As he did so. the first object which met his eye was his own eonfessional box, where he had so often listeced to the tales of bis penitents. "Father McGlynn' was painted in large letters upon it, and the structure was almost covered with flowers, ever greens and wreaths of immortelles which had been placed there by his faithful parishioners. As he saw the evidence of their devotion be could not suppress the groan of anguish that came to his lips, and, dosing the door, he stag gered into the arms of Dr. Curran. "Hush, make no outcry," he said, seeinff the other's ill-suncreseed alarm. "I will be all right in a moment see, I am well again," and he

laughed bitterly. "Good-bye, Father Curran, may we meet again under more pleasant auspices. " "Good-bye. God bless you!" was all Fathe Curran could say, and in another moment Dr. McGlynn had gone. He entered the carriage with another gentleman, carrying the bag of papers, and bis secretary, as a decoy, dragged a heavy box to a cab in waiting for him on Third avenue, and Dr. McGlynn was far on his journey before bis anxious parishioners were aware that he had been among them. Yesterday morning Mr. Smith inclosed the key of the pastor's room in an envelope directed to the "Rev. Arthur J. Donnelly," and now Dr. McGlynn has nothing more to do with St Ste pben's Church or the pastoral residence, unless reinstated on the order of the Pope.
