BALTIMORE, May 2, 1S69-Joshua T. Atkin-
son, who has been Treasurer of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company for nearly thirty
years, died suddenly about six o'clock yesterday
afternoon, whilst engaged in his Office at the
Camden Street Depot. He was a widower, and
had gotten married only two weeks ago to the
mother Of his sons wife. He leaves an estate
estimated at two hundred thousand dollars.
His funeral takes place tomorrow.

Hon. John l.. Thomas, Collector of the Port,
entered upon the duties of his Office yesterday.
Thus far he has made only few subordinate
appointments, embracing Assistant Collector,
Chief Clerk, Cashier, etc. There is terrible
pressure for other places. 1t is fully understood
q toierably clean sweep will be made of all em-
ployes who cannot show n clear record, polit-
cay or otherwise. This applies to all depart
ments including Custom House, Post Office, In
ternal Revenue, Courts, etc. The idea is to
emulate the example in this respect set by the
Democracy when it obtains place and power. 1t
is considered safest to take care of those known
to be true supporters of the party.
1t may be considered almost certain that our
city will furnish the required means, about a
million of dollars, to complete the Western
Maryland Railroad to Hagerstown and the Po-
tomac. This will greatly enhance the value OF
the company's bonds and stock.
Judge Bond, who represents the extreme wing
