About ten days ago some smart % fellow
started a rumor IN the Treasury Department that
the LIST of April order would go into effect,
quiring each employe to be at the Department promptly
by o'clock, else suffer the penalty Of being locked
out and losing the day pay. OF course, this
spread like wd1re among the clerks and caused con-
siderable Indignation. II was credited for the
that, with few exceptions, nearly every Assistant
Secretary had issued such order to start off WITH
in consequence probably OF being unacquainted with
their official duties. So for about week before the
LIST the creduous clerks trembled their respective
boots, Shoes or slippers, and waited eagerly for the
LIST OF April to come that they might read the obnoy
ious order In full But they entirely overlooked, In
one sense, the LIST of April part of the programme.
Excitement in the interval rose TO fever
heat. Finally, on Thursday morning, they
filed In at o. clock sharp and looking in vain for the
order and not finding 1t, they to the sudden but
firm and correct conclusion that they had been
how ''muchy' April-fooled. 1t was an agreeable
Aprfool, however, to find that such order had In
reality been issued. Nor had 1t been even contem-
plated; for In the first place, Mr.. Upton, unlike
many of his predecessors enters on his duties
with thorough knowledge of Treasury affairs, the
result of the hard study OF years. which makes 1t
necessary for him to resort to such petty assumption
OF virtue; and. secondly, he is not the man TO make
his first official act as Assistant Secretary tor any sub
sequent one for that natter which would be of
oppression to his former feow-cierks.

The Mysterious shooting Affair.

AT an early hour this morning it was as
cerained that the shooting OF j. Carroll Thomas,
reported In the afternoon papers, done by police
man In discharge of his duty. From all that could lie
learned 1t appears that olcer of the Fourth Pre-
cnct had arrested notorious character in that
ton. and conveying him to the station, when lie
set upon by Carroll, he Is called and several
others who tried to rescue him. The policeman
was compelled to his pistol firing a
single shot at the crowd indiscriminately,
the ball taking effect In Carroll's thigh.
The mob then withdrew, and the officer went to the
station with the prisoner ignorant Of the fact that
he had shot anyone. Thomas's friends when they
found that he had been shot, ran OF and deserted
him, and when found by Sergeant Buel, to him
self from being arrested for resisting an officer he
told him he had been shot by some unknown per-
son. Who this Officer was is not KNOWN the ON
cials at the Fourth precinct will not give his name.
