The Washington Star states, on what
it claims to be the authority of an init
mate friend Of Secretary Window, that
a number of changes among prominent
officers of the Treasury Department has
been decided upon. The changes, he
said, included both the Assistant Sec
retaries, appointment Clerk, and the
removal of Custodian Pitney and
Cobaugh, Captain of the Treasury
Watch. The Treasury investigation

A special from Society Hill, South
Carolina, says that John H. Hartwell,
aged IL years, son OF the Rev. DR.. j.
j. Hartwell Southern Baptist Mis-
sionary to the Chinese in San Francisco,
California, arrived here ON the I'd in

taken to Oakland, and thence on an en-
igrant train to New York, arriving in

Southern Pacific built upon the land
grant OF the Texas Pacific in New Mex
leo, which is over district of country
from Sansomon river, on the Arizona
line, to within four miles of FL Paso, a
tract Of 1870 miles. A temporary in
junction has been granted restraining
the Southern Pacific of New Mexico
from using, occupying or running the
road within the limits OF land OF the
Texas Pacific or on its right OF way i'll
New Mexico, and Judge S. b. New

temporary receiver. This suit has been
brought since Jay Gould was elected to
the Presidency Of the Texas Pacific.
