port that Mrs. Christancy, wifo of the OK
Senator had attempted suicide. A messenger
entered the Health office about noon in great
haste and asked that II physician be cent at
once to render assistance to Mrs. Christiapcy
who. he ssid had just attempted suicide by
taking poison. DIR. Mead hastcned TO the
lady's residence OF d street, near Fourth, aud
found several other physicians already u.s.

A New Role for a Former Messenger.


Mr.. William Dickson, the well.kuown claim
agent of Fourand-a-half street, appeared
In the Police court yesterday, MS complain
ant against young man named William
Troxall, formerly a messenger in the District
Commissioners Office, whom he charged with
deirauding him out Of S9719 last August by
forging u signature 10 a drawback certificate.
Troxall is now under Indictment for a simi-
lar offense, committed while he was employed
in the revision Of special assessments Office nm
der Mr.. Roome. When the case was called
yesterday, the accused waived an examna-
ton and gave bond for a hearing, as no had
been subpGnaed to appear to-day at the Capt.
tol before tho committee now investigating
District Government affairs.
The information filed with Justice Walter
who issued the warrant for Troxell's arrest
recites that on or about the 18th of August, 1879
TrOSel sold to Dickson two certificates OF
drawback, Nos. l,05G and 1867, amounting to
1922 40, aud signed by w. IL. Wheatley, OF
George,o own. The certificates were aftcrwnrd
applied by Dickson iu the settlement of taxes.
In February last Hon. james Gilhllan, United
States Treasurer, notified Mr.. Dickson that
tho certificates boro the forged endorsements of
William II. Wheatley, and reclamation was
made for the sum named. An examination OF
the records in the District Offices shows that
the certificates were issued 10 William Troxell
on power of attorney purporting to be signed
by w. II. Whcatley, and froxcll's receipt fol
the certificate appears upon the marginal stubs
of certificate book No. 3.
The other Indictment for forgery is pending
against Troxell for fraudulently obtaining aud
Issuing four certificates belonging to the Stauh
family in Georgetown, and although the case
has been assigned for trial twice, a postpone.
ment has been effected each time, aud reports
have been circulated that the trial would be
abandoned. 1t is reported that the Secret
Service Bureau of the Treasury Department
are using Troxell in the investigation o
charges against the District Commissioners.
