LIEUT.. GARLINGTON's ANSWER


WASHINGTON, ID. G., Oct 24.-The secre.
tary Of war received to-day Lieutenant Gar
lingtons answer to the questions asked by
General Hazen after the receipt of his official
report Of tue expedition to Smiths Sound
Darlington says that had he left any of his
small stock Of provisions at Lttcton island
he would have seriously endangered the safe.
ty OF his men to no purpose Had he re-
NAMED a fortnight at Littleton island for the
chance of the Yantics arrival, his supplies
would have been reduced to dangerously
small margin. IL she did not arrive be
would have had to start his retreat during
the rapidly closing season without adequate
provisions and might not have been able
to reach the Danish settlements and
send home news of the disaster This year.
IL would then have been necessary to
draw on the supplies already deposited for
Lieut.. Greedy. Birds were plentiful but he
had but one shot gun and So cartridges aud
could not have secured many birds. Although
he made every effort to do so he was unable
to find The guns and ammunition provided
for the expedition. Walrus were pentifi II
but wild and wary. Bat small portion of
the stores was abandoned on the ice foe.

Darlington did not consider the stores of
sufficient Importance to again cndanger the
lives of the men or risk the loss of the boats
Replying to the question, "Why did you
come south of Caps York at all, 1t being in
an friendly Esqnimanx country and fairly
supplied with the necessaries of life 2" Lieut..
Darlington says: II did not remain at Cape
York because did not see how | could pos
siby have been of any service to Lieut..
Greedy. From the best information attana-
BILE l am of the opinion that there are no
more than 1875 Eskimo from Cape York to
Rensselaer, Bay, and it is well known that
they are an improvident shiftless race and ON
the verge of starvation every Winter. To
have quartered party Lowsoever small
without provisions on these people with The
chances of Grcely's party reaching there
would have been to seriously endanger the
lives of the whole community without being
able to accomplish any good whatever" If

Dr. }. ii. Baxter, medical purveyor, seems
likely to be made surgeon general Of the
army. 1t is hard to describe the pressure
which is exertcd for these high staff places.
Take this surgeons eneralship. The pay is
$500. The work is nominal In addition
to pay SCOOPS granted by the government for
hoa.c rent, and all travelling expenses are
paid. lie can go on any vacation, visit an
army post or two, and charge it all to the
government. 1t is all on honor. If he gets
old and retires the pay goes on the same, and
when he dies his widow and minor children
draw pensions. The brigaIcr generals uni
form is put on once a year when the 400 or
800 officers in The city go'to call on the Presi-
dent at New Years. DIR. Baxter docs not
want the position so much for the pay as the
social standing it gives. His father left him
a large fortune, and he has increased it by
speculations. DR.. Baxter has been made
surgeon in the regular army, aud has been
promoted rapidly. He is but forly-four
years old now. His wife was the adopt

Hon. L. j. Phelps is in Washington, this

est, now amount to about 100000. This
case has been through all the federal courts
and now comes up on writ of error for final
adjudication in the United States Supreme
Court. Mr.. Phelps appears for the defend
ant.
The official figures of the work accomplish
ed the last fiscal year by the letter carriers in
the postofllces in New England at which free
delivery service has been In operation for a
year or more make an excellent showing for
Burlington. Our five carriers handled $780,
GS5 pieces of mail matter the cost of the
system was $4,000 and the local POSTAGE col
lected was Sl729. Concord, N. H., also has
five carriers and they handled 1851, 03S
pieces Of mail matter and the local postage
was Only i1449. Taunton, Mass. has six
carriers and they handled only $40, $50 pieces.
Salem, Mass, has eight carriers and they
handled only ,6j7, 4G3 pieces, or much less
than our five.
The postoflice officials at Washington
seem to have a peculiarly happy faculty for
doing foolish things. Their latest eccentric

taken to the postoflice, probably for safe
keeping. In the morning it is lugged back
to the cars, and the clerks instead of having
time to distribute and sort the mail are
obliged to use it in putting the government
in readiness for work One result
of this is that the mails for ar stations are
carried past to be brought back ON the after.
noon train and another is that the work of
the mail agents and mail carriers is largely
increased with no resulting benefit to any

Fatal Accident,

Thomas Boland of Northfield was killed
near Middesex, Tuesday night. lie was
braking No II freight and at that place they
were to take water. The other brakeman
went ahead to the engine telling the con.
ducor that he would let Boland 90 back TO
the saloon to cat his lunch. Ia going to the
engine he did not meet Boland but supposed
he had dropped 10 the ground and thus gone
back. lie staid at the front of the train till
they arrived here, when Buland was missed.
The engine was at once uncoupled and sent
back and the body of the unfortunate man
found, but in a frightnlly mangled condi.
ton. The body was badly cut, both arms
and legs being nearly severed aud the marks
upon the track showed that he had been
rolled by the train nearly % rods. Boland
was about 20 years OF age aud unmarried.
