Of Accounts Dug ont OF Oblivion by tho

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Springer in
vessigating committee has become pussess-
ed Of curious account book kept BY
Deputy Marshal Brown, Of the western
district Of Pennsylvania. tits a large book
Of over 400 closely written pages, all in
cipher, most remarkable and ingenious.
and is supposed to contain history OF ali
the transactions of the MGrshal's Office
during his term, relating more particularly
to the famous Roberts torpedo case3, Also
copies OF the correspondence between
Brown and number Of tho court officials
at Pittsburgh. Mr.. Springer has aunt a

be here on Wednesday. He will he esked
to translate the book, and il he refuses TO
do so the committee will endeavor to have
it figured out, il, as the chairman ssys,
facetiously, they have to send for S. J. Til
den as An expert.
The book was first discovered by Mr.,
Perkins, the Secret Service detective.
Brown, it seems, iailod to pay his board at
e certain clearinghouse at Pittsburv, and
this book was among the effects kept by
his landlady as collateral, and in this way
it fell into the hands OF Mr. Perkins. The
deficiencies in Murehal Halls office are
estimated by the Examiners Of tho De.
pariment Of Justice 10 amount to several
hundred thousand dollars; but they re-.
ported that their examinations had been
confined to the bankruptcy cases, as thew
could find no record Of the torpedo prose-
cutions. This book is supposed to be q
complete record OF these transactions.

enthusiastic, and with good reason. Never
before when there was spirited contest
has candidate succeeded in working up
such support prior to convention. II it
were not tor the rotten boroughs, Mr..
Arthur would not have a sufficient follow

striking evidence can be found OF the blight
that affects our entire civil service than
the manipulation Of the Southern States
by office holders in the interest Of
tho ruling administration. They care
nothing for Arthur, but they
care to butter their bread. They
have no principle and no choice among in.

to go for the winning man. That man,
am now convinced, will be James 6.

A STRANGE STRUGGLE
For n Child-Ohc lufaut nuu Two Moth.

New IoEk, May 5.-Referee Thomas =.
Wickes reported to The Supreme Court 10.
day that he had concluded that the boy,
Carlos Wilson, was the child OF Emma De
Zofta Wilson, and not tho Offspring OF
Sivilar and Forest S. Downing. The ref.
ereo states his belief that SivllNr Downing
was perfectly honest in her assertion that
she believed that her own boy, jacques,
had not died and been buried in tho come.
terry Of the Evergreens in August, 1882, and
that Carlos WILSON wss the real Jacques.
Mr.. Wickes ia unable TO geo any resem.
blance between Carlos and Forest s. Down
ing. Ol the result OF tho examination OF
the ''long and slender" toes OF Sivillar
Downing and those OF Carlos, the referee
Guys: ~ could not detect the sightes! ami.
larlty between them" The same conclu-
sion waa reached regarding the alleged
similarity OF the "tinser motions" Of Carlos
and young Alr. Downing. A microscopic
examination Of the photograph Of MIR.
Downing when child showed that the
peculiar folding OF the finger was due to
an attempt to cover up plaster placed on
the finger because OF cut.
The lock Of hair cut from Jacqucs' head
the day he was born the referee concludes
could not have come from the head OF Car.
los, because it wae OF different character
aud quality. The hair from the head OF
jacques was "silky and elastic" tho other
WAS ''coarse, stiff aHd brittle" The identity
Of the coffin which Mrs. Downing caused
to he dug up is held to be improved.
The proof Of the indentity OF Carlos vii.
son is considered az made valid by the
bir!h.mark on the third toe Of bis loot, as
well as by witnesses. Tho death OF the
child OF SiViilar Downing in August, 1852,
is stated to have been 'established beyond
any reasonable doubt" The rcferle con-
cludes: II entertain no doubt that the
child in court is the child OF Carlos Wilson,
who WAS born on May s, 1882 and that the
woman called Emma DE Zoira Wilson, is
his mother
