assigning him to other duty In order to put a
special favorite OF his own In the place, or dic-
charging him altogether from the service,
Thus four efficient officers have been removed
without cauas, and four men, ereonal friends
OF the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue,
have been pat in their places. Two Of these
new appointees know nothing about the 20
vice, two of them have been in the service and

To the Editor Of the Press:
In recent criticism by Justice on the
address of DIR. Wedgewood before the Maine
Medical Association tho writer says that the
doctor "went out of his way to accuse the
church of supporting the worst resorts and
nurseries of quaokery."
Now what DIR. Wedgewood is reported to
have said upon the occasion referred TO is as
follows
"The worst resorts and nurseries of quackery
are those supported by the church, and the
elevation Tot rational medicine have been de-
feated by men prominent in other temperance
and religious reforms"
do not propose to make any defense Of tie
sentiments of DIR. Wedgewood but shall en-
deavor to show in a general way that there are
valid reasons for believing that some of the
nurseries of quackery" are supported by the
church.
In the first place it is we'll known that the
most extensive quackery in the name OF
medicine is practiced through the medium Of
"quack medicines" Many of them are inn

The situation on the Missouri,

KANSAS CIrP, Mo-, June 10. The situation
along the river has not materially changed to-
day. The water has riren about eight inches
since last night, and this evening is nearly sta
tionary. A despatch from Brownsville, below
PlaItsmoutb, in Nebraska, says the river fell
an inch and half this afternoon. Most OF the
trains east and north ara still interrupted. The
Alton & Chicago and st. Loris trains are run
ming as usual, also those on the Missouri Pa
cific to ST. Louis. The Hannibal ROAD sent out
its passenger tonight, going four mile3 down
river by ferry to Randolph and there transfer
= ring. There he's b3en no train on the Rock Is
land road tonight. The Wabash, the Council
Bluffs and the Burlington roads to Denver
have been abandoned since Saturday. The
Missouri Pacific track north is also submerged.
The resumption of trains depends on the rise
or fell of the river Except as to railroad prof.
erty the damage as yet has been comparatively
light.

TEWKsBURY ALMSHoUSE.


BosToS, June 10. Emil A. Groshersen, ex-
pert accountant, testified in the Tewksbury
hearing this morning, that he had examined
the books Of the almshouse and they we're cor
rect. They agreed with the auditors bills.
Only tabulated invoice book was necessary
to keep an accurate account of almshouse
affairs. There was no need whatever OF q
cash book, journal OF ledger. Grothersen had
noticed eTasurei upon the cash book, for
which he would not attempt to account. He
had not seen anything TO show exactly what
had been done witt the almshouse money, nor
with the sales from that institution, nor with
the clothing of inmatea, nor with dead bodies;
ia fact, he knew of no system Of bookkeeping
by which all these things could be traced.
Moses Sargent attempted TO describe the
character of the house ia which Eva Bowen
had lately lived, and which he had ipvesti-
gated, it being the purpo-3 to show that her
testimony in regard to her present mode of
life was false. Ruled out. Adjourned to
Saturday.
