A dispatch to the Baltimore Herald, dated

and lady came into the Riggs House cafe and
took seats at a table, ordering lunch. A mo-
ment afterward another lady, In a state Of
great excitement, hurriedly came in and,
drawing a pistol from the folds OF her dress,

shrieked: "She shan't have him; I'll kill him."
she came to herself and yanished. The af-
fair was enyeloped In mystery for awhile, but
finally It was developed that the lady who did
the shooting is Mrs. Banes, a young widow OF
rare beauty, and clerk in the Treasury De-
partment. The man is ]. II. Dougherty, also
clerk In the Treasury Department. The other
lady is said 10 be a Miss Lester, q clerk In the
Pension Bureau and a niece OF Senator Lamar,
OF Mississippi. II appears that Dougherty
has long boen the intimate friend OF Mrs
Banes, but OF late has been indulging In sur.
reptitious associations with Miss Lester. Mrs.
Banes tracked her recreant lover to-day with
the results above set forth. The episode causes
quite scandal In Department circles"

A Mistake

How your sweet face revives again
Tho dear old time, my Pearl,
II may use the pretty name
called you when girl.
You are 80 young; while time of me
Has made cruel prey;
1t has forgotten you, nor swept
One grace OF youth away.
The same sweet face, the same sweet smile,
The same 1.-the figure, too.
What did you say? at was perchance
Your mother that knew"
All, yes OF course, II must have been,
And yet the same you SEEM
And for moment, oil these years
Fled from me like dream.
Then what your mother would not give,
Permit me, dear, TO take,
The old mans privileged kiss
Just for your mothers sake.

THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER REQUESTED TO FUR,
PROOFS OF FALSE yoJ7CprRS

The CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER REQUESTED TO FURNISH
PROOFS OF FALSE VOUCHERS
The solicitor of the Treasury has addressed
communication to the Secretary OF War
asking that he request the chief signal officer
OF the army to furnish the accounting officer
OF the Treasury with the proofs Of the false vouchers
In the accounts OF Capt Howgate, so that the true
state OF MS accounts may appear On the records Of
the department
The Secretary of War up to this morning had
not received the communication.
WHAT GEN. HAZEN SAYS ABOUT THE CASE.
In speaking about the matter to STAR reporter
to-day Gen. Hazen said "The developments OF the
Howgate frauds were made by this Office and
every honest effort m ide to bring him to trial
and the efforts OF this Office alone had him indicted
by the grand jury on over sixty separate counts
This Office did then, and has done since everything
to bring him to q speedy trial. l visited the
prosecuting officer, did my adjutant, on seye-
raj occasions, urging a speedy trial, and that
all delays ran in favor Of the prisoner
on two occasions that he would be brought to
speedy trial. but he was not, and immediately
afterwards escaped. The evidences OF the fraud
were found in the Treasury department ITSELF or at
least copies OF all the vouchers were secured there
at our request, and that department was coyniZant
OF all the steps taken and the facts connected
this arraignment and the bills found 10y the grand
jury. At no time has the Treasury department
MADE any request or demand or me for any
papers whatever. There is but one way to do
that, through the Secretary OF War, Whose order
can observe. When that is done the Office win
afford every facility. The intimations that there
is any disposition to keep anything back or that
there Is anything In this Office which the chief
signal ocer or any other officer wishes not to be
known, are entirely grOundeSS." General HaZen
ADDED that when he is instructed by the Secretary
or war he will at once set to work to prepare the
necessary papers. He said it would take two or
three weeks to get them ready.
