WASHINGTON NOTES.
Drafts on the Treasury for the Star Route
Trials-A Strange Appointments.


Drafts on the Treasury for the Star Route
Trials-A Strange appointment.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Mr. Bliss and
Mr.. .Ker, in their heavy drafts on the treasury
on account of the star-route cases, have COM
pletely swallowed up the appropriation for
the compensation OF United States attorneys
for the present fiscal year ending the Both
instant. In consequence of this probably
one-half of the United States district at
torneys In the country will not receive their
pay for from one to six months of the fiscal
year, and will have to wait until Congress
meets and ask for deficiency appropriation.
The appropriation for the next fiscal year
cannot be made available for the deficiencies
OF this year. There is much dissatisfaction
among the United States district attorneys
on account of this, as they anticipate that
Congress before making any further appro-
priation will make thorough investigation
into the causes and the necessity for spend
ing so large proportion of the appropria-
tion for this year on special attorneys. 1t
may be whole year before these hard
worked officials get the money which is now
due them, and which very few of them can
wait for without extreme inconvenience.
The President has appointed son OF SEN
ator Logan to a West Point cadetship. Reg
ular army officers say that they will be very
much surprised if Gen. Lo, an should per-
NIT his son to go to West Point after the
bitter and unrelenting hostility which he
has exhibited toward that institution for so
many years, even TO the length
of advocating its utter destruction. But
circumstances alter cases, and Mr..
Logan may conclude that his son will
not be worse off by receiving the education
and training which is so much an object with
others. The President and he have not been
on very good terms for few months past,
because the President after yielding to him
the disposition of all the federal patronage
in Illinois and good deal elsewhere thought
1t was time to draw the line.

New YORK, June 21.-Charles H. Billar
aged 10, bookkeeper for j. & F. 7. Feare
| of Newark, went to Coney Island this morn
ing. He was alone, and while standing OF
the beach between the Brighton Beach Hote
and the iron pier, he noticed a little child
| about four years of age, playing on tn,
| sand with toy bucket and shovel Further
up the beach stood horse and carriage, in
which sat middle-aged man and girl OF
about IS, reading. They were not ap-
parently observing the child, which wan
dered close to the water. A high wave
swept up the beach, and, enveloping the
child, carried it off its feet. At that moment
the girl turned her head and saw what had
occurred. With scream she sprang to her
ieet and rushed to the edge of the water
only to see the child swept out by the re-
treating tide.
Dashing into the water, she reached the
child, but In a moment she was beyond her
depth. The man left the carriage, and
struggled to get to where the two lives were
In peril, but he was lame. Billar kicked oil
his shoes and plunged into the water. The
two girls had tiOated some distance, the
elder holding on to the younger, but by
few vigorous strokes Billar reached them.
He held fast to his two charges and swan
with them until he got footing on the
5ahuJ anu uraggeu tnem beyond the reach
OF the breakers. Turning he saw that the
man needed his help Billar dashed In
again and caught him. He managed to
drag his burden back to the dry land, and
then he fell, unconscious. Several young
men arrived in time to lift the form of the
gallant lad and rub him to consciousness.
The child, which was also unconscious
when brought ashore, was soon restored and
the rescuer and the rescued were driven to
u cottage. There Billar learned that the
three persons were father and daughters,
and that the man for whom he had done
such signal service was Henry Benedict, of
Philadelphia. MIR. Benedict, ascertaining
that the lad was a salaried clerk, offered
him large sum of money, saying that he
felt that it could not discharge one iota of
the obligation. The money was modestly
but firmly refused. Then Mr.. Benedict
pressed upon him a superb gold repeater,
which he took from his pocket, with gold
chain and seals attached, and also a dia-
mond ring of considerable value.
Billar already possesses gold medal of
the New York Life Saving Society. In 1877,
while scarcely in bis teens, he was rowing
on the Passaie River, near the town of
Passaic, when he saw a Doat containing
three boys row into boat in which sat three
little girls. The girls boat was overturned.
Billar pulled Immediately TO the spot,
sprang into the water and succeeded in rescu-
ing all three of them.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Human Bones Discovered in the Cellar of
a House in Philadelphia.

| u uihuelpnih 'nqulFeT.J
The house which must have been the seen
OF the fearful atrocities now charged agains
DIR. Isaac Hathaway is a quiet and ENTIRELY
unconspieuous three-story brick at No. 224;
North Fifth street, between Susquehanni
and Dauphin streets. Until the past few
months 1t was the residence of DR.. Isaac
Hathaway, who is now In jail, having beer
arrested last Thursday on the charge oi
assault and battery on one of his family.
A more serious allegation is likely to be
made at once against him, however, in con-
sequence OF revelations brought to light yes
terday In the cellar of his former residence.
In fact, Deputy Coroner Powers lodged q
detainer against the doctor at the county
Jail last evening.
Since Doctor Hathaway moved from the
house on North Fifth street to his present
residence on Kensington north of Allegheny
avenue, u. 2243 has been occupied by Mr..
Joseph Amos and wife, q peaceful couple,
whose quiet home was never disturbed BY
the breath of suspicion. On February "a
Mr.. Louis Ducellier and his wife, an estima-
Bile young French couple, rented roo "s in
the second story of the house from Mr..
Amos. Yesterday, about noon, Detectives
Miller and Wolfe made theil appearance at
the front door with spades on their shonl-
ders and made known their intentions of
dlgg1ng for human remains in the cellar.
In short time the peaceful neighborhood
was In ferment of excitement Mrs. Ducel-
lier, who was away from home, hurried
back, expecting, as she says, nothing less
than TO find her husband brought home
from his work corpse All sorts of ridicu-
lous stores were circulated, and the Coroner's
ice box was regarded with dread anticipa-
tion by the eager throng.
The interior of the house is simple and
homelike, by no means of q character to
support sensation. Pa ssing through the
dining room-to the left of the hallway, and
into back kitchen-the entrance is reached
to flight of steps leading down into the
cellar. The latter is quite large, extending
the whole length of the house, east and
west AT its east end, under the stairs and
In the northeast corner, the officers began
digging, and speedily uncovered the remains
OF one or more infants, who are believed to
have been the victims of DIR. Hathaway's
criminal malpractice.
Detective Miller at once informed the
Chief OF Police, while Detective Wolfe con-
tinued his excavations with further horri-
flying results. Altogether the remains of
between 20 and 25 not fully developed child
ren were found.
The excitement in the neighborhood,
which was strong at first, had entirely sub
sided last night, and the course of the law
Will be quietly awaited. Information was
at once lodged with the Coroner and Dis
trict Attorney, the remains having been
taken away, under direction of the former.
Further developments may he expected to-

pulling up close to Allegheny, while Baltl-

unusual luck that attended the Athletics
during the early part OF the season seems to
have deserted them, and they are now losing
ground, although playing hard. The Louis.
villes, BY reason # their four straight vic
tories from the Baltimores, are forging
ahead, but 1t is now believed the struggle
tor first place will be between st. Louis and
Cincinnati.
Providence and Boston still lead in the

getting dlsgracefully beaten the next, still
keeping at the tail end of the race.
