WASHINGTON.
The Contingent Fund Investiga

The Contingent Fund Investigation.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-Tbe Senate contin-
gent iuno investigating committee to-day ex-
amined a number of subordinates of the
Treasury Department and Washington trades
men. The testimony related chiefly to trans
actions between the latter and the department
and disbursement of contingent funds by Ex-
Custodian Pickney.
The Contested Seats in the House.
Representative Cakins. chairman of the
House committee on elections, has been en-
gagged during the past few days in preparing
testimony in three of the contested election
cases referred TO the House committee. They
will be sent TO the printer tomorrow. They
are Anderson VS.. Reed of Maine; Buchanan
VS.. Manning of Mississippi and Bisbee VS..
Finley of Florida. The testimony in most of
the cases is very voluminous and it is probable
it will be late in January before the committee
can commence the real work of investigation
in any particular case. 1t is not known yet
what case will be taken up first. The SUBJ
committee which has charge of the Maine and
several other cases consists of Representatives
Hszelton, Thompson, Ranney, Paul and Beltz-
hoover.

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 81 The mayor, with
several city officials, including members of the
finance committee, visited the Jail this after
noon to confer with Auditor Palmer concern
ing his defaication. His counsel refused to
permit an interview, but the examiner OF &C.
counCs, who saw Palmer, stated that he denied
having forged the signatures of the mayor,
clerk or city council, but admitted he had de-
ceiyed them in order to obtain their signatures
10 warrsnts. Such statements of claims as
were necessary to obtain their signature was
concealed and afterwards destroyed. He pro-
tested that no one was in collision with him.
The city treasurer always took his word and
acted on his instructions, and was deceived as
other officials were. The examiner says there
are other peculations in the sinking funds in
terest, assessments, deficiency and tax lease ac-
counts which he has not examined sufficiently
to state the details. Palmer knew of Halls
defacations in the comptroller's Office but con-
cealed them by manipulating the accounts to
avoid discovery. Holden presumes they knew
too much Of each other for either to speak and
Palmer is represented as saying he hoped the
legislature would pass law to try all defaulters
by drumhead court martial and shoot them on
the spot.

AUGUSTA, Ca. Dec. 81. Between 800 and
600 negroes from Edgefield county, South

Accident on the Lake Road.---Slight
Injuries and Small Damage.

The passenger and baggage car on
the mail train from Swanton Wednes-
day morning, due at Greensboro Bend
at S.35, were thrown from the track
about one mile beyond that station,
near p. 5. Paine's. Fortunately the
cars did not go off on the river side.
and the connection with the engine
breaking, they were simply canted up
on one side, and stopped in a short dis
lance. There were only about half a
dozen passengers, and they escaped in
jury, except Capt. p. ID. Blodgett of
this place, and Thomas Hooker from
Bakersfield. They were both cut aud
bruised about the head, and Capt.
Blodgett received in some way a blow
upon one knee, causing a good deal of
pain. A train was at once dispatched
from this place aud the passengers and
baggage transhipped. Mr.. Hooker's
wounds were dressed at the st. Johns
bury House, and Capt. Blodgett was
taken to his home. Mr.. Hooker was
able TO return home the same afternoon,
but Capt. Blodgett's knee gives him a
good deal of pain, and there are some
fears of fracture or other injury that
may make him trouble for some time,
He was riding in the baggage car. The
cause of the accident is unknown at the
present writing. The track seems il
good condition, and it is supposed that
either the rails were spread or there
was a defective wheel. The express
train west bad passed over the place il
safety only few minutes previously
The train was in charge of Ethan Carr
conductor, and Charles Magoon, en-
gineer. The damage to cars and tracl
was very slight. Had the train gon'
of the opposite side of the track, i
would have fallen down an embark

Two Families swept Away.

Last fall DIR. Bugbee's daughter of
Lancaster, was taken sick with the
diphtheria of a most malignant form,
and died. Soon after the mother died.
In few weeks the Doctor was taken
with the same disease, and after a
short illness passed away. About two
months ago Mrs. Towne, DR.. Bugbee's
wife's mother, who lived but a step
from the Doctors house, was taken
sick and died. Only last week Mr..
Towne was taken with the same dis
ease, and was buried Wednesday.
Here were two families entirely swept
away by this dread disease. A young
married couple have been living in the
Doctors house for a few weeks, but
have left it now. We understand that
there is to be thorough investigation
made of the premises.
