the train that Mr.. Marchbank was on was nearing
Caupon's Crossing, four miles above this place,
some Of the section laborers wishing to take pas
sage, tagged the train to stop. at which signal
the engineer reversed the engine and blew his
whistle for down breaks Mr.. Marchbank and
the other passengers apprehended at once col
lsion with the down freight, knowing 1t had moi
yet passed. and amidst the excitement incident
to such an occasion, Mr.. Marchbank leaped from
the train which was going at the ordinary speed
and was thrown upon his left side and head on I
pile OF railroad ties lying beside the track. Iht

up and found to be entirely unconscious. III

and denOunces the inSOIcnt prrtensiGn

We copy the following Associated Pres.

WASHINGTON. January 3!.--Therc have
been signs for s-p,.l" days OF Il growing dis
content in official circles with the course of
General Plcasanton, the new Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, and Il change III that
department is predicted by those best in
formed. HIS advocac: of the repeal Of the
revenue tax in oppos!ti"a 20 tie financial
policy of the head of the Treasury is re-
gardcd rs offensive. and as an attempt to
Strengthen himself i'll public favor at the
expense Of the administration. Extraordi-
nary statcuc hts made of the cost of collect
ing the Tax. and assumed familiarity with
the cuisines, when his seat was hardly
warm under him. are severely criticised.

anton was i,Iade Commissioner through the
influence cs Ingalls, and others interested
in the Nev York Central railroad tax case.
and it WIS., Ilnolc1 to-day that he would
resign after February 10, tn" time liked Tor
determining that case. The amount Of the
tax involved is 81 900. Whether these
rllnOr. have any other origin than that OF
general dissatisfaction II i, impossible to
tell. bat the appointment of plcasanton is
objectionable to Il large number. Having
spen, twenty-five years in the regular
army. his fitness for such important civil
service is called IN question. He brought
into his Office tie rulings ami manners OF a
martinez, and is regarded by suhord!natea
as harsh aud unreasonable. HIS absurd
order excluding representatives OF the press

of his work. it is ,umorcd that Deputy
Commissioner Williams, of Indiana. will
