The Garfield Glazing.

The employees Of tho Executive Mansion who
filed their claims with Judge Lawrence some
time ago for services rendered during Presi.
dent Garneld's Illness, called upon tho Judge
to-day and objected to tho phrase printed and
used in connection with their claims--''against
the Garfield estate" As they state, tho claims
are not against any private estate, but against
tho Government.
judge Lawrence replied that the phrase was
rendered necessary by the act Of Congress
making provision for such claims, and that It
was also necessary to prevent any future
claims against the Garfield estate arising from
the Presidents illness and death, after the
matter has been settled according to tho pro-
visions OF Congress. The use OF the published
circulars, however, is optional with claimants.

liam Shlnn, no action was taken, as tho COM

nocont agent OF Mr.. Clark In whatever part he
had taken in the AFFAIR. Yesterday afternoon,
on tho oath OF Mrs. Edna Jordan, a warrant
was issued for Clark's arrest, the charge boing
false and malicious libel. Clark was at his

CrucItY to Animals.

In the Police Court to-day two cart drivers
named James Burk and Andrew Banks were
charged with cruelty to animals in driving
their horses up steep Incline leading from
Eighth street into tho Postollco Department..
Tho evidence OF Major King and prominent
Postonice officials was that the inclination OF

been ordered by Major King TO unload por.
tion OF his load before driving up, but that
Burk had said his horse was strong enough
and had ascended-without difficulty, while
Banks, who was similarly cautioned, insisted
upon going on, and bis horse fell twice before
reaching the top. Judge Bundy dismissed
