The New Deal in the wabash.

ST. LOUIS, April 9.-Captain R. S. Hays
senior vice-president of the Missouri Pacific
and now first vice president OF the Wabash,
visited the Wabash office this afternoon. He
was introduced to the heads of the depart
ments of that road and held consultation
with them, but nothing was decided
upon definitely, except that Colonel Hoxie
will take charge of the freight and passenger
traffic of the Wabash, heretofore looked after
bv John G. Gault All other officers
of the company will remain until
further orders. A circular will be issued
tomorrow or Wednesday, defining the posi-
tions of the officers. From other sources it
is learned that in all probability Frame
Chandler, general passenger agent of the
Missouri Pacific, will take charge of the
passenger department of the Wabash
and that II. c. Townsend, general
passenger agent of the Wabash
will remain a general ticket agent of the
new system, and that George Olds, general
freight agent of the Pacific will assume con-
troll of the freight business of the
Wabash, in addition to his present
duties. Mr.. Gould will remain in
possession until the new management masters
the details OF the system, and will then take
a rest before considering several prop
ositions which he is said to have from
different roads. An adjourned meeting of
the stockholders will be held mere to-mor-
row to consider the subject of
lease of the Wabash to the
Iron Mountain, tits understood that the lease
which has been decided upon is very SIM
liar to that of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas,
and its ratification tomorrow will be mere

ton of the court below is answered accord

A decision was also rendered in an inter
esting customs case, involving less than 81,
brought here upon a writ of error from the
Circuit Court of the United States for the
Eastern district of Wisconsin. This case,
which is entitled Magdalene Won Coltzhauzen
against John Nazro, collector, and Henry c.
Payne, postmaster, arose out of the facts
here stated: In the year 1877, Mrs. Won
Cotzhauzen received by mail through the
Milwaukee postottice sealed envelope CON
tanning small knit-shawl, or scarf, sent her
by her daughter-in-law in Germany,
as token of affection. This envelope
was duly registered and bore an Endorsement
stating the nature of the contents. The col
lector of customs was notified by the post
master of the receipt of the envelope, and it
was delivered to Mrs. Won ColtzhauZen and
opened by her in the collectors presence
No attempt was made to evade the payment
of proper duty, or to conceal the nature OF
the contents of the envelope Mrs Won
Coltzhauzen was willing to pay the duty, but
the collector promptly seized the shawl ana
contiscated it as smuggled goods lie IN
formed Mrs. Won Coltzhauzen, however that
she could petition the Secretary of the Treas
urv for leave to pay the duty and take the
shawl. and that the extreme penalty OF the
law would probably be remitted. The
seizure, however, llsiNl gwen iAoC
TO bad feeling on the part of Mrs. Won Coltz-
hauzen, and acting under the advice of
counsel she declined to. take the course sug-
gested and brought suit against the post
master and collector for unlawful conversion
of property The jury returned a special
verdict in the nature of a finding of facts
substantially as above stated, and judgment
was entered for defendants upon the ground
that they had acted strictly within the line
of their official duty. The circuit judge
said, however. in concluding his opinion,
that it did not seem consonant with justice
and right in such a case as this that the prop
erty should be virtually confiscated where
there was evidently no intent to avoid pay
ment of duties. 81 do not
see, however" he said, but that
we are bound down by the strict
letter of the law which must necessarily op-
crate with severity upon some cases where
we could wish it did not, if we were permit
ted to indulge IN any wish upon the subject"
An appeal was taken to this court and JUS
tice Miller rendered the courts decision as
follows: at is a violation of law to introduce
dutiable articles at ali in this manner (by
mail) and articles so introduced are liable to
seizure for such violation. We think that in
making the seizure defendants only did their
duty and whatever the hardship to plaintiff
they are not liable to this action as the facts
are found in the verdict of the jury"

of President Tyler.
| sold Fogy" in Courier-Journal.
The 2Sth of February, 1874, was sad day
in Washington. Captain Stockton, of the
navy and commander of the United States
war steamer Princeton, the construction of
which he had superintended, brought her to
| Washington, to show what he had accom-
plished. For this purpose he invited the
President and his cabinet, congressman, and
strangers of distinction to witness the work
ing of her screw propeller and the firing of
the big gun, called the "Peackmaker,"
which was made OF wrought
iron, and carried ball Weighing
225 pounds About hundred of the invited
guests went aboard, including many ladies,
and the vessel steamed down the Potomac as
| far as Mount Vernon. The machinery
worked admirably, and the "Peacemaker'
| was fired three times. On her return trip, as
the company had just finished sumptuous
collation. ana were still at the table, word
was passed down that the "Peacemaker" was
to be fired again and those who wished to
witness it must come on deck. Fortunately
| for Mr.. Tyler and many others, before they
| could get on deck the gun was fired, and ex-
ploded. The report of the explosion was
| deafening, and created great alarm among
the ladies below. AS the smoke blew away
shocking spectacle presented itself.
| There lay mangled and dead Abel p Up
| shur, Secretary of State; Thomas w. Gilmer,
Secretary of the Navy; Commodore Kennon,
| of the navy; Virgil Maxey, late minister to
the Hague, and Colonel Gardner, whose
daughter President Tyler afterward married:
Beside these, two seamen were killed and
elven seriously injured.
Mrs. Gilmer and the wives and daughters
| of some of the other victims were on board,
and their feelings can be more easily imag-
ined than described.
The President announced to Congress the
next day the deaths of Mr.. Upshur and Mr..
| Gilmer in suitable terms, and the two houses,
| adopting appropriate resolutions, adjourned.
John c. Calhoun was appointed Secretary
of State in place of Mr.. Upshur, and John
Y. Mason Secretary of the Navy in place of
