MULLETT RESIGNS.
The rumors which have prevailed for
the past day or two In regard TO the res
ignation Of Supervising Architect Mul-
lett, were fully confirmed to. day. secre-
tary Bristow being asked the cause Of the
resignation, pointed 10 the revised sta.-
utes, In which II Is stated that the Chief
Clerk Of the Treasury Department shall
act as superintendent OF tho Treasury
building, and no account for contingent
expenses shall be allowed, except on the
certificate OF the Clerk that they arc ne
Cessary, proper, just and reasonable, all
expenditures for furniture being subject
to the approval oil the Secretary Of the
Treasury. 1t appears that Mullett was IN
the habit OF controlling this contingent
lund amounting to about 100000. Mul.
lett's attention was called 10 the law,
when he said he would rather resign than
not control this expenditure, whereupon
the Secretary remarked that be was only
doing his duty in accordance with the
law, and that Il Mullett was not willing
to be governed by the law, hc would &C
cept his resignation. Accordingly, Mul
lett prepared his resignation, which the
Secretary accepted this afternoon. Mr.
Bristow did not in any manner express 3
wsnt oil confidence in Mullett's integrity.

On Saturday afternoon about o'cIOcka colOred

4 FLORIST LOSES ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS
THE MONEY FOUND IN A COLORED
MANS TRUNK.

THE MONEY FOUND IN A COLORED
MANS TRUNK.
Saturday morning, florist named Richards,
residing on the GlenWoOd Cemetery road, and
occupying a stall in the Centre market, where he
disposes of pot-plants and bouquets, complained
to Detectives McDevitt and Miller that his money
box had been entered at the stand, and robbed of
$780, The officers not feeling satisfied that the
money disappeared in the manner stated, sug-
gested that might have been left at home lost
in coming to market, and advised that search be
made Of the premises before any steps were taken
in the matter by them. The wife Of the florist
started back to make a second hunt through the
house, but in retrayersing the route home she
came across the memorandum book in which the
bills had been placed lying in the street Just
above the Jail. This information was furnished
the detectives, and theyproceeded to hunt up the
finder Of the money. A full description Of the
man who was seen to pick the book up was OBJ
tanned and they followed the trail so closely that
yesterday morning they arrested John Cook,
cOIOred, as the accused party, and on searching
his trunk, at his residence on Third, near street,
found the 500 nicely slowed away, and not a dol
lar missing. He was taken to police headquar-
tiers, and held for a hearing. The money will be
returned to the owner to-day.
