The Daughter OF the Late Senator III
Killed in q Runaway Accident.

The Daughter OF the Late Senator Hill
Killed In a Runaway Accident.
Mrs. Robert B. Ridley, youngest daugh
ter of the late Senator Hill, on Friday
evening, with her baby, a few weeks old,
and Miss O'Callaghan, went out driving
in Atlanta. After being out half an houl
she drove past her home, left the babe
with it's nurse, and drcve out to the
boulevard. Just as she turned the street
white man, Albert Thomas, aud two
negroes, drove their horses by at gallop-
ing gait, hallooing and urging them on.
Mrs. Ridley's horse being very spirited,
took fright and dashed away at a feaafuI
rate. The ladies jumped, Miss O'Callag
han sustaining bruises and Mrs. Ridley
falling upon head and lying unconscious.
She was taken into the house of Mr.. L.
F. Mayes, and her husband, DR.. Ridley,
summoned. He called DR.. Willis +.
Westmoreland, who at once declared that
death, or insanity if life remained, would
ensue. The lady lay unconscious from that
time till death relieved her, with but ono
intermissiOn-when her 5 weeks OLD babe
was brought to her. She extended her
hands, took it a moment, and then let it
down with exhaustion and again became
unconscious. Mrs. Ben IL. Hill, the lady's
mother, who was in Athens, arrived but
was SO shocked that her death is now
expected. Mrs. Ridley was one of the
most popular ladies in the city.

He is a warm personal friend of Post
master General Gresham and is under
stood to owe his appointment to that
gentleman. The new commissioner took
the oath of Office in Louisville yesterday.

at once, owing to the expiration Of the ten
days for which an acting commissioner

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY "a. iees
dishonest Stock Brokerage.

The New York stock exchange some
time ago expelled a member whom its
committee had found guilty of dishon-
esty in dealing with one of his Gus
TONERS. The broker had been in the
habit of buying stock for his own ac-
count, when large purchase of that
stock vas ordered by the customer,
before he began to fill his customer s
order. Then he would begin buying for
him, and after his purchases had al
vanced the stock he would unload on
his customer the stock he had purchased
at a lower price for his own account.
This was sample of his mode of deal
ing and, Of course, It's gross dishon-
esty is unquestionable. So was
the evidence which proved it, the brokers'
own books showing the transaction. The
broker appealed to the courts on techni-
cal grounds to be reinstated in the ex-
change, and has succeeded in temporarily
getting such an order. 1t is certainly
remarkable that man of demonstrated
dishonesty can thus raise the arm of the
law to defend himself from the effort OF
his indignant associates to rid themselves
of him. 1t is very brazen thing for a
thief to 60 to the law and demand that
it shall protect him from the proper con
sequences Of his criminality. But what
is to be said of the law that gives hin
its aid in his effort ?
e. It is true that the New York STOCK
exchange has not gone far enough in it:
issue to punish the man it condemns. Il
should not be content with expelline
him. 1t should make complaint against
him for his dishonesty and secure hi:
Indictment and conviction. 1t should
see to it that the proper punishment OF
the law is invoked upon the crime it has
condemned. 1t can thus vindicate the
law, punish the criminal and relieve itself
from the presence of an unworthy mem
Der. But though it does not do all that il
might do and stops in it's vindication of
justice when it has expelled the offender
from its membership, the law should no
stop it in the very proper effort il
makes to purify its membership ant
keep its reputation stainless.

A Good Selection.

The president keeps on in the line he
has marked out for himself in making
his appointments to Office. He has nom
mated Walter Evans, of Kentucky, to
be commissioner of internal revenue.
Mr.. Evans is a gentleman of intelligence
and integrity. His name is fresh and
there does not cling about it the stale
odOr of the hackney politician. He has
the necessary qualifications for an eff
cient officer. He is honest and
capable. His nomination is step
forward in genuine civil service reform
If our officers should be appointed by
those who have authority to appoint
them, under the considerations which
have evidently moved the president in
making his late selections, there would
be no need of a civil service commission
Those who have the appointing power
have with it the power to select the
honest and competent men that the
service needs. That is self-evident. All
that is wanted is to have the appointing
officers inspired by proper motives in
doing their duty and possessed of the
intelligence and moral stamina needed
to make them good motives bring forth
good fruit. The president sets the ex
ample TO his department heads. lie
appoints good men. If his subordinates
follow his example the civil service com
mission will not he needed. If they do
not so incline, the civil service commits
sion will he Ineffective. 1t is of no
consequence, any way.

THERE has been somewhat of a
tempest in teapot in Philadelphia
journalism over the charge of the Press
that cable letter, claimed as the exclu.
sive property of its Sunday edition, has
been twice surreptitiously obtained and
published in the Times. The charge
that it was stolen and that the Ian,es
knowingly received the stolen goods has
been made with such directness, and the
assertion of the Times that the letter
was in the market, the property of any
paper which choose to buy it, has been
repeated with such emphasis as to
cause some wonderment on the
part of those who have observed
the courtesy recently prevailing be.
tween the Philadelphia newspapers. The
mystery IS fully explained to-day by the
publication in the Press and Times of
letters from the men who make these
cable letters. While one c. A. O'Rourke,
who claims these cables as his, writes
the Press that no one except himself had
nor could have had authority to furnish
this cable dispatch to any paper in Phila-
delphia, and his relations were with the
Press only, another,F. X. Schoonmaker,
who styles himself manager of the Cable
News association relieves the Times by
giving it a certificate that the letters
were freely for sale to all comers, and
writes the Press that, in Mr.. OR
absence and in the absence of any notice
from him of sale of the cable letter to
the Press, he delivered it to the Times !;
both papers, therefore, got the letter in
good faith ; the hard names that the
Press has been calling the Times
must be withdrawn or have Pick
wickian construction put upon them.
1t looks very much as if the
managers of the Cable News asso.
citation have been playing a sharp
trick on the great Sunday papers of
Philadelphia, one wicked partner on the
streets of Philadelphia selling them
exclusively" to the Press, while the
other wicked partner was selling them
over the counter in New York to the
Times. The transaction ought to sug.
gest to the newspapers which were fooled
the necessity of getting exclusive cable
letters through some more exclusive and
less leaky agency, while to their readers
the wonder will be occasioned whether
news thus traded in may not be Of sus-
picious compromising.

Tho Train wrecker Released ON Bail.

This morning application was made to
their honors the judges of the court to
have Jacob Gangaway, the young man
charged with wrecking the train at Eph-
rata, admitted to bail. Edward Clark,
man who has known the boy for many
years, testified that he is about IL years OF
age and is subject to falling fits: He is
also simple minded. Tho court fixed the
bail at So, 900 and Edward Clark and Solo
mon Shupp, of Brecknock township, were
accepted az bOndsmea. The charge against
the boy now is malicious mischief and it is
not certain az yet whether the common
wealth will indict him for manslaughter.
