WASHINGTON, June 9.-The name of the
postofice in Mcdowell county, W. Va,
heretofore known as Harrisonville, has
been changed to Canebrake.
The postoffiee at Daniels, Rawlins county,
West Virginia, has been discontinued.
Among the postmasters recently COM
missioned are George W. Stewart, at Cam
sada, Wess Virginia; n. b. Blakemore, at
Brsndywine, West Virginia, and Susan E.
A. Sidebettom, at Barboursville, West Yir-
ginia. 49, -
The measure known as the knit goods bill
which Mr.. Kelley attempted to get passed
under suspension of the rules on Monday
last, failing by few votes, really contains
more than would be indicated by the title.
For some time past Mr.. Mckinley has been
waiting patiently to secure considera-
tion by the Ways and Means Com
mittee of his iron ond steel
bill, which consideration was promised him
by the committee as soon as the tariff COM
mission bill should be out of the way.
There seemed TO be, however, disposition
on the part Of the committee to ignore the
measure, and when the knit goods. bill was
under consideration, Mr. Mckinley stren-
ously insisted that if the bill was before the
House there should go with it as an addi-
tional section the iron and steel bill. There
was considerable opposition 10 this in the
committee, but Mr.. Mckinley persisted and
finally carried his point by decisive vote,
striking the word steel from the bill and
making it apply to hoop iron alone.
The bill was reported to the House on
Monday, and had there been q quorum o.
Republicans present it would have been
taken up for consideration. The knit goods
and wooden man ufactories OF the Eastern
States assert that if this bill does not pass
it will be possible for them to continue
their business much longer, and should the
bill become law, as il will in all proba-
bility before the session closes, il no mis-
haps occur, Mr.. McHinley's bill curtail-
ing the extraordinary discretion of the
Treasury Department will also go upon
the statute books. Mr.. Mckinley has
shown a devotion to this particular subject
that certainly deserves success.

At Cleveland.

CLEvELANp. June 9.-The strike at the
Cleveland rolling mill is quietly drawing
TO a close. The places of the strikers are
gradually being filed with new men.
Mayor Henick proclamation and large
force OF police have disheartenSd the union
men, and the backbone Of the strike is vir-
tually broken.
CLEVELAND, June 9.-Comparative quiet
prevailed throughout the day. The vari-
Gus departments of the mill were runhihg
with a slightly larger force than on We'd
nesday. The wire mill was running all
day, with larger force on than on any day
since the strike, probably about one hun
dred men being at work there. The
Siemens-Ma furnace was in operation
all day. In the rail mill fifty men were at
work, and one hundred and eight rails
were turned out before the men quit at 1
o'clock. On the whole the prospect o;
carrying on work without the assistance OF
the strikers was better yesterday than on
any previous day, and If the statements of
the owners can be relied upon. there is
every prospect that the mills will be rum
ming with full quota OF men next week.
Mr.. Chisholm states that he has applica-
tions from men, who want to go to work
Monday, sufficient to run the mills with a
full force of men.
Mr.. Jas. Maher, prominent officer OF
the Amalgamated Association, said, in
speaking OF the situation:
The long and the short OF the matter is,
We think, that as the price of labor has ad
vanced all over the country we ought to
command more wages in Cleveland. We
have, therefore, quit work because our de.
mand for an advance has not been granted.
The troubles and disturbances which have
occurred have not been occasioned or coun-
tenanced by the Union. They are the re-
suit of the meddling of outsiders with our
affairs and hurt us more than they do any
one else. We have patrol whose duty it
is to quell any disturbance and keep tur-
bulent men off the streets. The talk about
our threat to destroy machinery is all nom
sense. There may be some fools who en-
gage in talk OF that kind but there Is moth
ing in it and we are more sensible than to
even dream of such a move. tell you
emphatically that there is no probability of
the kind. am on the best of terms with
Mr.. Hayes and the officers of the company.
They and understand each other perfect
ly, and there is no bad feeling between u.s."

WASHINGTON, June 9-There is some
appreheusiyeness over the increasing pro-
portions of the River and Harbor Appro-
priation bill. 1t is even whispered darkly
that the President may feel Obliged to veto
the bill, as il grows and grows beyond all
control. When reported to the House
June l it appropriated s17,G42,s75. The
Senate proposes to add jobs enough to make
the amount over So, ,O0O, 900. And this, too,
in line OF socalled improvement that
drew a modest s., OO0, 900 from the Treasury
of 1870, and Sll, 10000 last year. The
Committee on Commerce claim that
the creeks provided for in the
bill "are larger and more important
to commerce and navigation than many of
the rivers OF the country" and that the
dear people really want these alleged i'm
proyements more than they desire reduc-
ton of taxation. In this category We may
probably include Cathancd River, Maine,
which calls for 5000; Otter creek, Yer
mont, which needs 1000; South Channel,
between Crab Island and Karney's Dock,
New Jersey, requiring $4,000; Spry,s
Landing to Crumpton, Maryland, to am
prove which $500 will be needed; and
Ticfaw River. Louisiana, to improve which
5000 is asked. These are a few OF the
sample cases, taken at random, of the i'm
portant public works to be continued" as
long as there is dollar in our overflow

MINOR GRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

sArEsvTILE, n. c., June 9.-Great excite
ment exists here over the murder of Pace
Wallace by his friend, Bob Stimson, yester-
day. The two men had been warm friends,
and in this place Wallace made the &C.
quaintance of Stimson's wife, a buxom
looking woman Of lively disposition.
Long before the blind husband suspected
anything, his neighbors saw enough to
cause them to- suspect that unlawful inti-
macy existed between Mrs. Stimson and her
husbands friend. Their meetings began to
be frequent, ,aad they were often seen prom
enading the streets at night while the hus-
band was known 10 be at home asleep. Be-
ing hard working young man he retired
early, and supposed that his wife was in her
sitting room sewing.
A few days ago a friend went to the
wronged husband and warned him to stop
Wallace from entering the house, and at
the same time stated his suspicious. At
first Simpson was indignant at the very
suggestion of wrong on the part of his
trusted friend and his wife; but finally,
ulduucutu uy h0 SOhsChtCN "
watch. The next nieht' he went to bed,
but remained there but short time. He
then rose and,wsnt TO the sitting-room, but
his wife was not there. Wild with fury,
he ran to Wallaee's apartments, but did
not catch them. Finally he came upon the
guilty pair, and saw enough to satisfy him
self tLat his wife was false to him and his
friend had dishonored him.
This morning early Stimson arose, and,
getting double harreled shotgun, loaded
it with twenty buckshot. His wife, suspect
ing nothing, innocently asked him what
he was going to do. "Oh," he responded,
grimly, 81 am going hunting, and will get
you some favorite game" He went out on
the street and met Wallace. Without say
ing word, he waited until Wallace got
within few feet of him, then raised the
gun and sent twenty buckshot through the
heart of his false friend. Wallace fell dead
in his tracks without uttering a word.
Stimson gave himself up at once.

CHICAsO, June "a Herham, Minnesota,
special says: The boy John Tribbetts, who
murdered Washington and Hehrbach few
days since, was brought here, yesterday,
and examined before Justice Ra.hploo.
Towards night the propriety of lynching
him was freely discussed, but nothing done.
AbSut one o'clock this morning, however,
twenty resolute men broke into the jail
and with difficulty, broke open his cell and
grasped him. He said, Don't, boys, this
is too rough" The lynchers carried him
to the railroad track, few rods aAay, rested
a ladder against a telegraph pole, looped
one end OF rope arouud his neck, and
throwing it over round OF the ladder,
hoisted away. He was dead in a few min.
utes- The lynchers kept the crowd back
with revolvers, and rs soon as the work was
done scattered in al directions. Tribbetts,
who was only seventeen years old, made a
full confession last evening. He laughed
at the crowd that met him yesterday MORN
ing, but became depressed at night The
lynchers will probably not suffer for their
crime.

ger h Responsible for the strike.
WASHINGTON, June "a Pittsburg man.
ufacturer who was down here few days
ago, said, in discussing the present strikes
in PittSburg and elsewhere, that Mr.. Folger
was responsible to great extent for the
strike and that the Treasury Department
was accountable for the strike in every
way. This, he explained, was through the
many notoriously unjust decisions rend-
cred by that department, to the interest OF
the iron end steel men. "Now, can give
you q palpable example" said the Pitts
burger "Eefore the present strike was in
augurated, Mr.. Folger had presented before
him for decision an important axle case.
IL he had made favorable decision for the
manufacturers they could have probably
afforded to sign the sliding scale at a
ratio that would have met with
the approval of the .laborers. But, no.
Folger has tinkered along until the time
came for US to fix our scale, and as We could
not count on anything from the Depart
ment, like good business men We had to
prepare for the worst and cut down our
prices paid to the employees. If we had had
anything like fair treatment from the
Treasury Department during the past two
years, we would not now be holding out
against paying the prices demanded BY the
laOorers. As it is, 1t is more profitable for
US to close up than pay the advanced rate.
and at the same time fight the decisions in
the treasury" These odds were too much
for them.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, June 9-Monday
night near Oak Lodge. !. T., six masked
men came to the hut,of an Indian trapper
named Reuben Kenatnhe, an eccentricman
leading a solitary life and credited with
having large amounts o; money boarded in
his hut. The barking of his dog warned
him of the approach OF the robbers. When
they raped he told them to go away, or
he would kill them. Two Of the gang
threw themselves against the door, break
ing it down, while the others covered the
Indian with revolvers, telling him that un-
less he gave up his money and kept the
matter a secret they wonld kill him. Upon
the pretense OF getting key Kenatuble
succeeded in springing through an outer
door, and, followed by shower OF bullets,
escaped to the woods. The thieves then
plundered the hut Bursting open trunk
they secured 81 900 in greenbacks, large
amount of silver and some gold coin. After
searching the place thoroughly they
mounted their horses and disappeared, go
ing in the direction of the Arkansas State
line. The Indian claims that he can iden-
tify three OF the robbers.

STAR ROUTE CASES.
The Goyersmcnt Meets an Unexpeeted
ff ~ EebuH. eE4r

WAsHIsGToN, June 9.-In the criminal
court this morning the government called
ex-Attorney General Macyeigh as the first
witness in the star route cases. MacVeagh
testified he had conversation with Reer-
dell in June, 81. Merrick asked witness
to give the details OF the entire converse
ton to the best of hi3 recollection. The
defence objected on the ground that wit
ness must give the date Of the interview to
make it competent evidence; and for other
reasons.
Totten denied the evidence was compe-
tent for any purpose in this trial The date
of the conspiracy was placed in 80, and
this confession was made long afterward,
in June, 81. Ingersoll argued no one would
contend that Reerdells confession was in
tended TO further the object on the eonspir-
acy. IL was necessary 70 prove the exist
ence of the conspiracy before trying to in
troduce such evidence as this.
Merrick was about to reply when the
court interrupted him to inquire whether
hs was prepared TO assert that the confes-
sion was intended to help along the con.
spiracy, because if it was not, regardless OF
other facts, it would certainly not be good
evidence against Reerdell.
ICPllSu AlC N-'N
question could best be answered by hear
ing the testimony.
Judge Wylie-But you must first prove
there was conspiracy.
Merrick asserted the confession was the
best possible proof OF the existence OF the
conspiracy.
Judge Wylie-Oh! no; I think YOU are
wrong, and the contrary propositions is true.
Merrick-But the body OF the dead man
may never be found.
Judge Wylie-You must prove that he
has been missing for long time before
assuming him to be dead.
The Court, in answer to an inquiry by
Merrick, replied: Even if he should be pre-
pared to show that every one OF the de-
PENDANTS had made separate aGknowledg-
ment of having engaged in the conspiracy,
it would not be admissible evidence. The
conspiracy must be made out by circum-
stances. II this confession should prove
that Reerdell met certain OF the defendants
on certain occasions, perhaps it would be
admissible. The prosecution shouh con-
fine their questions to facts, which would
prove conspiracy. This was very import
ant point in the case. ..
Ingersoll-Yes, Your Honor; il is the
whole of il.
Ingefsoll closed the argument on this
point, which he regarded as of the. highest
Importance, by saying that he regarded the
failure il out to produce authorities as
prima facie evidence, that the law was al
together on his side.

SrErpESvILLE, June 9.-Burglars and safe
blowers were abroad in this city last night
and made several unsuccessful entrances.
They first visited the grocery store of r. M.
Brown, North and Fourth streets, where
they made an entrance by prying off a
shutter and breaking the glass. They at
tempted to blow open the safe, but owing
to the bungling manner in which they ap-
piled the powder succeeded only in getting
the first iron plate blown off, making it im'
possible to get further, aud they left with
out getting any booty.
They next visited the feed store OF Rocs
White, where they al3o pried of shutter,
entered the feed store and succeeded in
blowing open the SAFE, in which was the
small sum of S1.5O, which they made off
with. II, ,was::a poor.night for burglars. No
