His wife has been with him almost con-

An official order from Washington to Mar

THAT THRiCE-ToLD TALE OF THE
TALLAPOOSA.

THE CRITIC, wishing to do all parties
concerned justice, dispatched one of its re-
porters down to the Navy Yard this morn
ing to interview the officers of tho Talla-
poosa in order to get their side of the story
regarding the trouble of Ensign Toppan
and Assistant Engineer Reeves, at st. Au-
gustino, Fla. The officers are unanimously
ofthe opinion that tho man Conova, who
assaulted Ensign Toppan, did so under
n misapprehension Messrs. Toppan and
Reeves are both well and fgorably known
in Washington, and no one could be found
who would believe that either of them
would be guilty Of the charge preferred
against them-insulting ladies. The re-
porter met an empioye of the Navy Yard,
who speaks of the man Conova, whom he
knows, as follows "IIe is great, big, over
grown bully, and makes business of IN
sulting gentlemen when he is in liquor He
is coarse, brutal and overbearing. He has
not the first instincts of gentleman when
he is drinking"

Augustine last Sunday evening, tho NoiOS has
been at pains to obtain the facts in the case,
and they arc as folows Two officers OF the
Tallapoosa, while walking in the streets OF st.
Augustine, within q stones throw Of the hotel
where the President and Secretary OF the Navy
were staying, were assaulted by man named
Conova. He accused them OF saying some-
thing TO his nieces. Tho officers were as
tonished. With them at the time Of the as.
sault was gentleman from New York, who
was thundersiruck. He could not understand
why the assault had been committed. He was
with the officers, and assured Mr.. Oonova that
he was mistaken. that not only were the OIL
GERS gentlemen, but that ho knew that they
had not said one word TO anyone. COnova was
either mistaken In the Identity Of the men or
else was disposed TO get satisfaction for the
alleged insult from anyone. Captain Kellogg,
OF the Ta1lapoosa, took great pains next day
to investigate the matter, and reported TO Sec
rotary Chandler, who was so we'll satisfied
that the assault was entirely unprovoked that
he dismissed the whole matter at once.
The Jacksonville Times Union of April 21
says:
We may add that in response to telegram
we received a letter frcm a prominent citizen
OF st. Augustine saying "Nothing In 1t but the
| attempt Of certain parties to gain notOrlety."
| And the four gentlemen OF the Northern press
| who accompanied the President assured us

| of bully who wanted TO get cheap renown by

had conscientious scruples, and was ex-
cused by the Court. William II. johnson,
colorcd, had formed an opinion from the
reading of the papers at the time. He had
the same opinion still, but evidence would

thought Mr. johnson competent juror.
Upon examination by Mr., Cook, he said he
require evidence to remove that opinion.

Court. 1t appeared that Mr. Van Hooks
name was John w. Van Hook, and not

took place and to explain the same to the
jury.
DIR. j. f. 1Iartigan, deputy coroner, was
called and examined in relation to the

The United States court officials here have
received a warning TO run slow aud continue
cases as much as possible. Tho warning is
signed by Attorney General Brewster and
states that there arc only S19, 900 In the Treas
ury with which to pay witnesses and they are
plieady spoken for. The Star Route trial Is
the cause of this deficiency which Will serl-
ously cripple the Kansas City court. The May
term promises to be heavy one, but the bad
news from Washington will cause untold
damage 10 litigants. In view Of the fact that
this tremendous Inconvenience is In great
part caused by tho enormous salaries paid
Blisa, Merrick and tho other attorneys the
people would no doubt be pleased 10 SEQ them
indicted on general principles. When the
trials still to come VIII have been completed
every United States court in the Nation Will
be out of commission FOR want of funds. The
situation is alarming to every one but Bliss,
