The Long Lost Trunk.

A reporter of the CAPITAL inter-
viewed the family of Mrs Wayson,
who recently visited Westminster to
identify trunk and contents which
bad been stolen sixteen years ago at
a railroad station on the Western
Maryland railroad, and learned few
particulars additional to those already
published in the CAPITAL. Mrs.
Wayson is the wife of Mr.. Joseph II.
Wayson, al employee of the Naval
Academy, and they reside on Corn
hill street. The first intimation she
had of the lost trunk was received
through reading in the Baltimore
"Sun" the exploits of the thief Biz
zard She was much astonished
when her eye fell on a description of
the stolen articles which she had so
long ago lost and had almost for
gotten. The description of her
much valued lost treasures came
back to her so wildly that she deter
mined to write to the States Attorney
of Carroll county, but received no re-
ply. la the mean time her mother,
who resides in distant city, had
also read of Billiards. exploits, wrote
to Mrs. Wayson, urging her to go to
Westminster and claim her property.
She did so, as heretofore stated, and
was met at the Westminster depot
and taken in charge by an officer of
the law and every attention was paid
to her comfort during her stay in that
city. When Mrs. WaysoD saw her
trunk and contents, woman-like, she
burst into tears, and was so much ex-
cited that many of those present were
similarly affected. The photograph,
mentioned in Wednesdays CAPITAL,
so perfectly corresponded with the
stolen clothes, that all who were
present, were satisfied, that she had
an undoubted claim to the trunk and
contents. 1t will be necessary, how
ever, for Mrs. Wayson to appear
against Blizzard at the May term of
Carroll county Court. Her valuables
will be held in the custody of the
county Sheriff, until the conviction of
Blizzard, OF which there Is no doubt.

jects touched upon by President
Cleveland in his inaugural address
will be scanned with much interest
by two classes of our citizens-the
ofice.seeker and the colored popula.
ton. On the subject Of civil service
reform, the President said "The
people demand reform in the admin
istration of the government and the
application Of business principles to
public affairs. As a means to this
end civil service reform should be in
good faith enforced. Our citizens
have the right to protection from the
incOmpetency Of public employees
who hold their places solely as the
reward of partizan service, and from
the corrupting influence of those who
promise and the vicious methods of
those who expect such rewards
And those who worthily seek public
employment have the right to insist
that merit and competency shall be
recognized, instead Of party subser-
viency or the surrender of honest
political belief" If we understand
the President Alright, he will have but
little use for the "broom brigade. -
There will be no general sweep out
All inefficient officers and clerks (and
their name is legion) and all who
hold Office through the fayoritism of
those who have been high in power,
will have to give place to better men;
and Of course preference will be given
to those whose political views are in
accord with the new administration.
This is perfectly proper and will meet
the appreciation Of all good men re-
gardless Of political bias.
In relation to the colored people
the President gives out no uncertain
sound. He says: I'm the administra-
ton of government pledged to do
equal and exact justice to all men
there should be no pretext for anxiety
touching the protection OF the freed
men in their rights or their security
in the enjoyment of their privileges
under the constitution and its amend.

profitable except as it suggests the
necessity for their Improvement. The
fact that they are citizens entities

lation, and charges them with ali its
duties, Obligations and responsible

and 50 IN accord with public opinion.
are what might have been expected
from . man Of President Cleveland's
training and sound common sense.
The law-making power has made the
freedmen citizens Of the United States
amenable to its laws and therefore
entitled to the full protection Of those
laws.
The whole tone Of tie inaugural

WAsHISGToN, July 1.-The begin
ming of the fiscal year brought COM
paratively no changes in the State, the
War and the Navy Departments, and
the clerks who feared that thew might
possibly receive dreaded yellow en-
yelope on the 1st of July became reas.
sured as the day passed without their
being asked to quit.
In the State Department there were
two or three appointments under the
civil service rules to Iill vacancies in
the lower grades. In the Navy Dc
partment the services of carpenter
were dispensed with because there was
no appropriation for his retention.
The secretary of war had not re-
turned to the city this morning, and
nothing was known of any removals
contemplated by him, but it was
thought he had already made all the
changes he intends ID make.
The vacancies in the fourth-class
post offices number not less than 2,t 10
and some estimates made the number
much greater. Nearly all of
the vacancies haye been caused
by designations or removals
because of misconduct on the part of
the postmasters. In many cases ost-
mast ers have written to the .depart
ment, asking why. no attention has
been paid to their. requests to
be relieved from the duties of
the office made in March last.
The explanation is to be found in the
great number of cases that are con-
stantly rassed up to the attention Of
the first assistant postmaster general.
While an immediate change is desire
BILE he intends to secure good service.

Several Hundred European Converts
Land in New York-Lato .Labors OF
the Missionaries.
New YORK, July 1.-The Steamship
Wisconsin, which arrived at this port
from Liverpool this morning, had
among her passengers GAL Swedish and
Danish converts to Mormonism. These
people were in the care of Elder J
Hansen, president of the emigration
company. All ages we're represented,
from gray-haired grand-tathers and
grand-mothers to little grandchildren.
Fifteen missionaries were with
the flock. This is. the largest
company OF Mormon Immigrants that
has arrived in the United States since
last summer, and it is stated that it
will be soon followed by another
equally as large. Nearly all of the peo-
pie will settle in I ne rural districts of
Utah; some will stop in Salt Lake, and
a very few " III go to Mexico. Itshould
be remembered that Mexico has not
vet become q popular country for the
Mormons. There has been something
of revival in Mormon missionary
works In Europe and it may be ex-
pectsd that the tide of emigration to
this country will be increased during
the next few years.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The appoint

ant Governor and ex-Congressman
William Dorsheimer as United States
marshal, was tho general topic of dis
cusslon among politicians and club
men last evening. Nearly everybody

ment was recommended by Tammany.
While he has not been q prominent
member of either of the Democratic
clubs Of the city, it is understood that
his affiliations have been with Tam
many.
General McMehon's appointment is
claimed both by the country
Democracy and Irving Hall, but
il is thought by some of the
leading politicians that his appoint
Ii ent is due to no one organization,
but 10 several. General McMahon
said: "My name has never been

General McMahon was clerk in the
Postoffice Department at WASH
ington at tho close of Pierce's
administration. He was made
special agent for The Pacific coast soon
after and took up his residence in San
Francisco, when he was admitted to
the bar by Judge Field. In 1861 he
was made CAPTAIN and sid-de-camp to
Gene al Mcclellan. He served with
the Army of tho Potomac until the
close OF the war. He was made adju-
tant-general Of the Department Of the
