Murder by Sentenced Criminal Waltz
kills his Keeper.

IIupsoN, n. Y April 80.
Joe Waltz. the murderer sentenced to
be hanged ut Catskill tomorrow killed his
keeper, Charles Ernest, in his cell at three
o'clock this afternoon by striking him on
the head with a piece of iron, smashing in
his skull. During the past week officer
Ernest has guarded Waltz in his cell in or
der that he should commit no injury to
himself. The murder to-day had been
committed some time before 1t was dis
covered. George Olney, with reporter
went to see Waltz and called for Ernest,
but no answer being returned they looked
through the cell door and saw him lying on
the floor unconscious. The officers revol-
yer was found in possession of Waltz. The
victim lived only fifteen minutes after
medical aid was summoned. The prisoner
manifests stolid Indifference as to his hor-
flOic uccU. Inc excitement at tatSklIl Is
intense and at least 1000 persons are col.
lected around the Jail threatening TO break
down the doors and lynch the prisoner.
The sheriff is cool and determined to main
tain order and carry out the sentence of
the court. If the mob do not take the af-
fair into their hands Waltz will be hanged
at about one o'clock tomorrow. The
Governor has been appealed to and two
companies Of militia have been ordered to
proceed from Albany to Catskill forthwith.

A special dispatch to the Eagle tonight
from Catskill says, two military companies

and are doing patrol duty. Mrs Holcher,
widow of the murdered scissor grinder,
reached Catskil tonight and visited Waltz

POSTMASTER.


In the GloBE report of the village meet.
ing, it was suggested that question was
raised as to the eligibility of \. II. futile,
| TO hold over, because of his appointment
as postmaster. 1t now seems that the ques-
ton was pertinent one, as will he seen
from the following order issued by Presl-
dent Grant in January 1873, which seems
to settle the question.
EXECUTIVE ORDER.
By the President CfMe United States
WHEREAS, 1t has been brought to the no
that many persons holding civil office by
appointment from him, or otherwise, UNI
der the constitution and laws Of the United
States, while holding such federal posi-
tons, accept Office under the authority of
the states and territories in which they re.
side, or of munic,pal corporations, under
charters and ordinances of such corpora
ton. thereby assuming the duties of state,
territorial or municipdl Office at the same
time, that they are charged with the duties
of the civil office held under federal au-
thority.
In view OF the premises, therefore the
President has deemed it proper hereby to
give public notice that from and after the
4th day of March, 1878, except rs herein
specified, persons holding any federal
or civil office by appointment, under the
constitution and laws of the United States
are expected ,rhie holding such office not
10 accept or hold any oBice under any state
or territorial government or Uadcr the Guar
ter or ordinGnces of any municipal corpo-
ration, etc.
This is applicable TO all postmasterS
whose salary is dboye 81, 900 per annum.
AS this order was not fully understood,
President Grant in February issued the fol-
lowing
EXPLANATORY ORDER.
1t has been asked whether the order
prohibits federal officer from holding al
so the office Of an alderman or of a common
councilman ina city or of a torn councilman
of town or village, or of appointment
q,nde,' city, to,rn or rRiagc government.
The city or town officers of the Gescrip-
ton referred to. by whatever namc they
may be locally known, whether held by
election or by appointment, with or without
/ salary. are of the class which the executive
/ order intends not to he held by persons
holding Fcderdl offices.
! This order is plain to the understanding
/ of every citizen. and makes certain that
his duties as postmaster, he canaot be the
representative of that ward on the board
/ for the coming year, and, Of course, it Is
! left for him to choose which he will hc-g
village trustee or postmaster.

LETTERS ON CURRENT 'ECPsCS.
'Ghe village Meeting
RUTLAND, April

RUTLAND, April 30.
Editor Rutland Globe AT the village
meeting Wednesday the voters thought best
to allow the trustees only 20 per cent OF
the grand list, or two iifths of the tax
voted for the ensuing year to pay current
expenses. After passing that motion it
was voted to authorize the trustees to pur
chase one thousand feet of hose and a new
hook and ladder truck, if in the judgment
OF the chief engineer it was deemed neces-
sary. 1t was also voted the trustees be
instructed to draw orders for 500, the
amount due the fire companies.
We all know the 90 per cent will not pay
the current expenses, and in addition for
new hydrants and reservoirs that are abso-
lutely necessary. Have the trustees the
power to expend the 90 per cent for these
and run the village in debt for the hose,
truck, and the amount due the engine com
panes? We think the statute is clear on
this point, but we have heard that some OF
the trustees claim that power under tho
votes passed at the meeting. ~
