Hartford Times.
As long as the peculatiOns that have re-
Gently come to light in tho treasury de-
partment only smirched clerks they we're
made public, but the moment they ran
into tho residence of John Sherman and
Billy Evarts they have been hushed up.
Mr.. Pitney is a young man, and it is only
natural for him to have gone wrong under
the circumstances. He was ordinarily
honest when Mr.. Hayes went into the
executive mansion, but Hayes's way of
doing thin IS finished him In the fest place
MIR. Pitncy knew that Mr.. Hayes's yellow
barber was carried on the rolls of the au-
ditor's office in the treasury department as
q messenger, instead Of being paid by MIR.
Hayes for his services, as he should have
been. This negro never rendered any scr
vice in the treasury department as a mes
senger, and every one knows it; yet he
called there regularly each month for his
pay. The only service he did render was
that Of a barber and hair(resser at the
White House. Then, again, Pitney knew
that the daughter of Mrs. Haycs's nurse,
who assisted her mother in working about
the White House, was carried on the
treasury rolls as a messenger also. He
knew also that the watchmen about
the executive mansion arc paid out
of tlre city police fund instead Of out
of the money appropriated for the White
House, which was used for other purposes;
and he knew that the 500, 600 appropriated
by Congress during the four years that
Hayes was in tho White House, for furni-
ture and repairs, was used to pay off Mr..
Hayes's private servants and private bills.
MIR. Pitney knew. too, that though the
money was all spent down to the last cent,
not one piece of furniture was ever pur-
chased. He knew of other crooked things
there which would be painful to relate.
Was it any wonder, then, that he engaged
in unlawful things, and charged spittoons
as silver ice pitchers, and got rich The
man that set him tho example should come
in for some of the blame.
It is said that Pitncy, the discharged
custodian of the treasury, will so before
the grand jury, and disclose the swindling
that Mr.. Window refused to allow to be
further disclosed by his investigating COM
mittee,

A Steamship ON Fire.

A fire broke out in the docks at Hull.
The flames spread to the steamer OthelIo,
which was loading for New York. The
masts and yards wero soon on fire. The
cabin, wheel house, forward deck houses
and life boat were burned and other ex-
tensivo damage was done. The loss TO
warehouses in the docks and damage to
the ship are estimated at e3O. 900. Part
of the damage to the OthellO was caused
by the explosion of some gunpowder
stored in her cabin. As Messrs. Wilson
& Son, the owners of the line of steamers
to which the Othello belongs, refused to
grant the demands of strikers, the. fire is
attributed to incendiarism.

aster.
In Pittsburgh yesterday, saloon keeper
named Luke Frees had Robert White,
cOlored, hold his horse. White drove him
around town and Frees scOlded him.
White became angry and shouted that he
could whip any white - that walked
the streets. Just then white man named
Hugh Rigney, who was under the
influence Of liquor happened to pass, and,
assuming that the challenge was intended
for him, said, "Who can you whip,
you-?" In an instant White was
out of the buggy and had hold of Rigney's 8
throat, who being very much smaller than
tho negro fired two shots at him, one tax
.ng effect in his jaw. 1t seemed to craze
him, for, with another colored man
named James Saunders, he rushed
at Rigney, and he was soon
lying in the gutter powerless. Here
out into the street, picked up cobble
stone and, before he could be prevented
from doing so, struck the defenceless man
several terrible blows in the face, killing
him instantly. They were arrested. All
the parties were river men.
In Philadelphia, yesterday, ut Fourth
and Federal streets, Walter Fink was
walking with Maggie Savage, to whom
George Hiber. 4 German barber, was very
attached. lie had visited her carly in the
evening ut her residence, No. 335 McIlvain
street, and, after talking awhile. said sud-
denly, I" Ii you 80 out with Walter Fink
to-day l will shoot you BOTH The girl
apparently did not regard the threat for
at nine o'clock she went out, leaving Hiber
lying on the lounge. He waited few mo-
| ments and then ran quickly down iEsJ the
street and saw Maggie join young Fink ut
tho corner of Fourth street. They walked
slowly down Fourth street, and just rs
they passed Federal street Hiber overlook
| them, and, drewing 4 revolver, shot his
rival dead without a word, and then cOOlly
replacing the smoking pistol in his pocket,
| walked back to the house, where he was
arrested fifteen minutes later, and with
| the most brazen assurance denied his guilt.
Charles Brinley was killed while coup
ling cars at Toms River, New Jersey.
Michael Dugan, aged so years. was
found dead near Borlentown, New Jersey.
The body was much decOmpOsed.
Two men named LandOrn and Bernardo,
| living in Brooklyn, we're arrested while
crossing the river in = boat. A ba.
found in their possession contained the
remains of a still-born child, and some
heavy flat irons. 1t was dOdbtless their
intention to drop the bag into the river.
In New Brunswick Philip Baer felOni-
ously assaulted Rosa Feency, ten years Of
age. When her father was informed OF
the deed he stabbed Baer, but not fatally,
in the throat. Baer is in Jail.

The Doctors Quarrel.

New YORK, Aug. 20.-Dr. William
A. Hammond said to-day for putlica-
ton relative to the rumor that he
might be court-martialed for disrespect
to his superior officer of the army: II
am on the retired list exactly as any
other officer is, with restoration Of my
ull rank in the service. The idea that
l can be tried for disrespect to my SUI
perior officer, Dr.. Barnes, is pre.emi-
nently absurd. I am his superior Of
tieer, and owe him no more official
respect than / do to any other junior
officer. Neither is he entitled to the
| slightest social or delicate consideration
in any way. Courtesy and delicacy
from me to him would be idiotic
|superfluities of which ! don't pro-
pose to be guilty. 1 have never said
anything rs to his private character
and neither have l any disposition te
