Caught in O Big Steal.

WASHINGTON, April 5.--Eyery day
new proof is brought forward to show the
wisdom OF the change in the administra.
tiou of national affairs. Each day new
evidence is brought to light showing that
the changes in the personnel Of the
departments can hardly be too sweeping
or radical if through reform in the
administration Of public affairs is to be
secured. The other day dispatch was
given in the World describing the radi-
cal steps being taken by General Sparks
10 protect the interests Of the Land Office
from the corporation interests which
have 80 long controlled it. Their audac.
ity in holding on TO the very last moment
is something extraordinary. Yesterday
General Sparks found evidence Of an
attempt to steal over half million acres
of land right out from under u contrary
order Of Secretary Lamar few days
before General Spurks gained possession
Of the Land Office. For number of
years. tho Southern Pacific has claimed
l6,000,O 900 acres assigned TO them by the
Texas Pacific Railroad. Congress-, at
the last session, declared this grant for

be restored to the public domain. Upon
March IL Secretary Lamar issued an
order directing the Registers OF tho va.
riouB Land Offices throughout the coun.
try to hold these lands subject to entry
and settlement. In the survey of the

A ROMANCE OF THE WAR.

After Years Of Absence A Father
 Turn. Up To Claim A Daughter He
 Has Never Seen.
 CENTRAL1A, H., May 26.-An incident of the rebellion came to light the other day in the following true story: At the outbreak of the war man named Christ. Reynolds joined the Confederate service as guerilla in Mis- souri. When the war closed he came to Centralia and worked at his trade as black smith in neighboring town. He married widow whose husband was Killed in the Union army. Reynolds continued his work at the forge until he accidentally heard that his stay would be extremely hazardous as it is claimed that while he was guerilla some act of his rendered him amenabls to. the law. Becoming alarmed he turned his utensils and property into ready cash and securing it about his person left for Texas. Shortly before his departure Reynolds wife gave birth to daughter. As years went by and Reynolds still remained absent his wife applied to the courts for divorce and the decree was se- married Owen Breeze, well known resident of this county. Meanwhile the baby born to Mrs. Reynolds grew up and is now a popular young lady of Centralia. Some time ago courteous letters of inquiry were received by parties living here. The writer asked for information concerning the family of one Christ. Reynolds. Develop ments followed until it was learned that MT. Christopher Reynolds still lived, having comfortable fortune. He now says that he longs for the companionship of his daughter, whom be wishes to go to his home. To her friends, it is said, Miss Key holds has signifed her intention of leaving Centralia and casting her lot with the father whom she has never known. MT. Reynolds is said to be in Arkansas

A New Stone CrusIser Needed-Junk
 Dealers Applying For Licenses.
 A meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held last evening. Present, ,Seiectmen Tyler (presiding), Feldman, Klenke, Beecher, Treat and Brown.
 Horace Wooding asked to be appointed colseryator Over his father, Israel Wooding. The Selectmen signed the necessary papers.
 William Doolittle of Ill Franklin street asked aid from the town to send his wife, who is insane, to the Middletown retreat. The matter was referred to the Committee on Outside Poor.
 Edward D. Barrett appeared before the Board and said that he had formerly been an inmate of the almshouse and he satisfied that the work of putting in the steam appa- ratus there had not been properly done. He said there had always been trouble with the pipes. There was not proper allowance made for expansion and contraction and conse- quently the pipes had broken.
 MT. Klenke said the present town stone crusher was constant bill of expense to the town, and although it had not been in use but about two years, it was worn out. Something was breaking about it every few days and it would be cheaper to throw it away and buy new one.
 Mr. Beecher said there was no use in buy ing new machine unless it was properly cared for. He said he did not know but that the present crusher had been cared for, but one thing was certain and that was that any machine would speedily wear out unless it was looked after and every part kept proper ly adjusted.
 It was stated that the crusher was now out of repair and in the machine shop.
 The matter was referred to the Committee on Construction and Repairs to inquire and report.
 The bridge on Middletown avenue over a stream on the meadows was reported to be in dilapidated condition so far as the founda- tions are concerned. The Board voted to visit the locality on Friday morning at g o'clock.
 The question of licensing junk dealers was taken up. After the warning of Judge Dem ing in the City court yesterday morning the junk dealers locked to the Town Agents office to make applications for Slicenses There were thirty in all that made applica- tions during the day and evening, sixteen of whom were from Oak street.
 On motion of MT. Beecher a committee of two was appointed to inquire into the char acter of the applicants before issuing the i- censes to them.
 It was voted to fix the price of this class of licenses at one dollar.
 Various bills were approved.

INcENDIARH TALK AT PARIS,

A Communist Leader Urges His
 Associates to Get Petroleum and
 Burn Down Public Buildings.
 PARIS, May 26.-Great anxiety is felt throughout France concerning the Commun- ists: The riots of Sunday and Monday at Pere Ia Chaise excite forebodings of more trouble. The Communists have an actual majority in the municipal council of Paris and they have compact body of sympathiz CTS in the Chamber of Deputies. The undue severity of the police at the occasions men tioned is condemned in all quarters. At an indignation meeting held by the Commun- ists on Sunday M. Duprat, one of their lead CTS, declared that the time for talking had passed. He urged all citizens who really fa- vored g change in things to procure petrole- the public buildings. It is believed that attempt at actual revolution would have broken out on Sunday had not the gendarmes fired on the mob. At the criti- cal moment when the Garde Republicaine with rifles loaded were about to fire upon the already maddened populsce two intelligent, cool headed and daring officers, perceiving the gravity of the situation, bravely rushed forward and threw themselves di- rectly in the line of the impending bullets between the soldiers and the people and averted the threatened danger. The whole subject of the riots was stormily de- bated in the Chamber of Deputies this even ing. After the governments comparative leniency toward the Communists yesterday had been alternately praised and condemned 8 vote of confidence in the government was finally passed by 38S to 10.
 The Funeral of Victor Hugo.
 PARIS, May 26.-It is officially announced that Victor Hugo will be buried in the Pan theon. A decree has been drafted secular izing the Pantheon in order to permit the interment there. The date of the funeral has not been fixed, but the government desire to have it take place on Saturday. MT. Rene Goblet, the ardent republican and literateur, will deliver the funeral oration Five hun dred deputations have applied for places at the funeral The revolutionists throughout France are considering the question of taking advantage of the event to wake a demonstration.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-Mayor Smith, as tbe chief representative of the city, tonight forwarded cablegram to M. Brisson, presi- dent of the council of ministers of France, expressing the sympathy of the citizens of Philadelphia for the French people in the death of Victor Hugo, "the great citizen of France"
 President Grevy's decree secu1arizing the Pantheon in order that Victor Hugo's body may be inferred therein cannot become ope- rative until sanctioned by the Chamber and it is expected that acrimonious debates upon the subject will be forced by the ultra-radi- calls

The silver Policy of the Nation.

NEW YORK, May 26.-At the annual meeting of the New York Produce Exchange this afternoon President J. H. Herrick in his address to the members said that they had passed through year of unusual commercial depression with less suffering and distress than any other branch of trade or manufac- lures and that the season of returning pros perity cannot long be deferred. The nation al election furnished favorable opportuni- ty for the exercise in public affairs of the influences and power of the exchange. The coinage of silver3 at fictitious value has been continued another year, increasing the useless hoard in the treasury vaults and bringing us nearly to the point of a premium on gold, with the unsettling of values and confidence which this implies. Indeed, but for the judicious management of the treas ury officers and the decision to retain intact the one hundred million dollars gold reserve the country would have already begun to reap the harvest of disaster which is the in evitable result of this silver policy. The presidents address was favorably received.

The aeronaut L'Hoste made an ascension from Guines, which is seven miles south of Calais, and alighted safely at Gravelines, twelve miles east of Calais. There were numerous fetes which were attended by the grandsons of Jeffries, who were guests of the town. A public pilgrimage was also made to the me morial erected to Blanchard and Jeffries and wreath was placed on the column. The corporation of Guines struck medal of honor in commemoration of the centenary. It was in May, 17S5, that Francois Blanchard with balloon furnished with wings and rud- der of his own invention successfully crossed the channel and landed in England, for which exploit Louis XVI. gave him 8 pen sion He was aided in his inventions by the fertile mind of John Jeffries, native of Bos- ton, but who during the revolution became surgeon major of the British forces in Amer
