A Settlement with Sureties in the Pekin
Whisky Gases Recommended.
WAsHINGToN, April 24.-The Solicitor of
the Treasury has recommended the accept
ance of the offer of Mr. H. NJ. Nippon, OF Il
linois to pay $1,000 in compromise of his
liability 10 the government as surety on the
bond of the late C. J. D. Rupert, of Illinois
Rupert was distiller OF whisky and judg-
ments were obtained against him and his sur
cites for failure to comply with the require
ments of the law. He died insolvent, and
oil efforts to collect judgments against him
from his sureties has been fruitless. This
is one of the wellknown Pekin
cases in which there were TWEEN
ty-two judgments to the aggregate amount
OF $222 900 obtained about eight years ago.
The amount of the claim against Nippon is
49, 697. In recommending the acceptance of
81 900 in compromise of this claim, the So
licitor says it is all the government can pos
sibly realize, aud Just that much more than
could be collected from Nippon under an
execution. 1t does not he says, in any way
relieve or palliate the offenses OF the princi-
pals, who were the only real violators of the
law. The Solicitor adds that he feels strong
ly inclined to relieve all other suretes in
these cases if they offer a reasonable amount
in compromise, provided such relief can be
given without extending it to the guilty
principals The report of the Solicitor has
been approved by the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, and the matter is now in the
hands of Secretary Folger.

WAsIINGToN, April 24-Mr. Ker, of the
counsel for the prosecution, continued his
argument in the star-route case to-day by re-
viewing and Analysing the evidence relating
to routes from Toqueville to Adaryille,
from Saguache to Lake City, and from Dali
les to Baker City, Ore. The last named is
the eighth of the nine cen routes included in
the Indictment. Colonel Ingersoll said to a
reporter to-day that he thought his turn to
address the jury in this case would come in
about four weeks.
After recess Mr.. Ker took up the Gum
Boot route" Eugene City to Bridge Creek,

tiers testified that the entire mail was carried
in one rubber boot. Mr.. Ker summed up the
evidence concerning this route with the fol-

A Number Of Communications Received
by the Senate Committee from
Eminent Men.
Various Suggestions for the Improve
ment OF the Condition of the
WOrkingman.

NEW York, September 1.-THE Senate
Subcommittee on Labor and Education
to-day received communications from a
number of people, giving their views on
the labor question. Among these are Ed
Atkinson, Kruskopp, the dramatic author;
William Lawrence, president of the Asso-
sociation of American Economists, of
Washington; the editor of the Journal Of
Commerce, and ]. A. Schmitch, of the
JoLks Zeitung.
J. A. Emerson, colored, and resident
of Arkansas, now living here, advocated
the adoption OF a system of postal savings
banks in this country similar to those in
London. They would be beneficial, and
a boon to the colored people of the South
by affording means of laying up their
small earnings. The greatest evil he said
which threatens colored labor in the
South was the store system. What
the South needed was education, and
all trouble arising from race distinctions
would be overcome. There was no diff
Guilty in supporting schools in the South,
as the people We're willing to contribute
literally.
Col. Richard l.. Hinton, Washington
journalist, said what this country needed
was revolution in the law of equity in
regard to cooperation and the distribution
of wealth. This was to. be accomplished
by gradual legislation, as the present sys-
tenn was built up by this1means.
Florena Elizabeth (colored), principal
of the School of Industrial Art, for women
OF this city, spoke of the employment she
taught as being admirably adapted to
women, and very remunerative. Design
ing was required in the manufacture of
carpets, wallpaper, gas-fxtures, wood en-
craving and silver works, but designers in
this country, witness said, were French
men. There were large industrial schools

RICHMOND, Va, September 14.-Barbara
Miller, colored, was hanged here to-day
for completely in the murder of her hus-
band i'll February last. Charles Henry
Lee, her aecomplice, was hanged on the
Sd of last month. She died from strangu-
lation. Several thousand persons were in
the vicinity of thesjail. Everything was
orderly. The execution took place in the
Jail yard, only. about 100 persons having
witnessed it, though many hundreds had
applied for permission to witness the
novel spectacle of hanging woman. The
trap was sprung at 1912 o'clock. Lee,
her accomplice, planned the murder,
but failed to execute it when the time
came, and the woman took the ak from
him and Drained Miller while he was
asleep. Lee then carried the body to the
railroad, where several trains passed over
and mangled the corpse in horrible
manner. 1t was thought the victim was
asleep on the track, and the railroad COM
pany paid the expenses of the funeral, but
subsequently suspicious were aroused, and
the two culprits were arrested and con-
fessed their guilt.
The woman last night made confession.

band at her suggestion. II she and Lee
had not been arrested they would have

warm adherent of the Seward and Weed
branch of the organization. The Knicker-
booker was sharp, spicy paper, bold
fighter, unscrupulous in its assaults upon
political opponents and chivalrous in
defense of its friends. Mr.. Hastings won
Weed early in his career. He became
prominent in ward politics and welded
considerable influence in the Legislature
through his known intimacy with Mr..
Weed. In 1874 Mr.. Hastings was elected
clerk of the State Senate, serving for two
years, first under Lieut.-Gov. Sanford +.
Church, and afterward under Lieut.-Gov
Henry j. Raymond, editor of the New
York Times. This is the only public DO
sition he ever held. The Albany Knick-
erbockeT, under Mr.. Hastings's manage
ment, was a financial success. Through
the paper and through his interest in
other profitable ventures he acquired a
comfortable fortune, and was distinguished
for his liberality as a host. About 1862
Mr.. Hastings transferred the majority of
his interest in the Knickerbocker to his
brother, having determined to settle in

Mr.. Hastings became associated with the
New York Commercial Adueytiser through
Thurlow Weed. In the spring of 1863 he
took charge of the paper when Mr.. Weed
went to Europe. Afterward Mr. Hastings
secured controlling interest, and kept it
till he died. He was Stalwart and
stanch machine man.
