Yesterday afternoon man bailing
from North Carolina, apparently about
fifty years of age, wearing no coat, bsar-
ing pack upon his shoulders, and bare
footed, with mud sleeping between his
toe, made his appearance at the May
or's oth e, and asked tor pass over tho
indiana line Tor htm elf, wife, and three
little bare-footed children. The May
or's heart was touched with 80 pitiful u
case, aud kindly consented to the man,s
request. The traveller had a dog for
which the entire family had a strong at
fiction, and be asked the Mayor IL he
could take that dog along.
The Mayor told him that he would
have to pay dollar ext"a, as they would
permit no dogs on the cars unless they
we're paid for it. The poor man then
turned to his wife and children and
asked If they were willing to part with
their best friend. They all replied in
the negative. The pennile man then
thanked the Mayor Tor his Kindness, ana
told him they would prefer to walk
ra her than part With their valuable dog.
They bade adieu to the Mayor and his
clerks, ana started on foot Tor their point
OF destination.

WASHINGTON.

Special to the STAR
JOHN BAXTER TO BE TIE JUDGE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-lt is under
stood that the President has deter.
mined to appoint Mr.. John Baxter, Of
Knoxville, Tenn, to the Judgeship In
the Sixth judicial District, made vacant
by the death of Judge Emmons. This
announcement creates positive sensa-
tion in Congressional circles.
THE SECRETARY OF WAR
will complete his annual report in the
course of ten days or two weeks. 1t
will contain me very important
recommendations in relation to the
army. The Secretary has invited and
received the opinions of several dis.
tinguished officers on this subject, the
points Of which he will incorporate in
his report. He does not recommend an
increase OF the army to fifty thousand
men.
The recommendations on this point
are based upon the actual needs of the
service, and 1t is believed they VIII
meet with favor in both Houses OF Con-
gress.
THE GRANT STORY ABSURD.
The report that the English NJ ssion
would be rendered to General Grant, is
considered here as absurd as many
other stories afoat from this city re.
garding the disposition to be made OF
this important position.
The truth is that the Administration
has not yet been able to decide upon a
candidate, and probably will not at.
tempt to do so for some weeks. The
fact that Mr.. Pierreponps resignation
does not take effect until the 1st of De.
cember assures ample time to give this
matter the careful attention which it de.
serves.
THE SIX KENTUCKY COLLECTORSHIPS.
The statement that the appointment
of Collector of Internal Revenue for the
COVington, Ky. district had been de.
lecmined on IN favor of John w. Finnel
is incorrect. The appointment lies be.
tween Finnel and Thomas Jones, late
Sheriff of Campbell County, KY, and is
most likely to be gwen to the latter.
