Good MAN Goes Out.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Col. A. G.
Sharpe, chief postOffice Inspector. has re-
signed his position, to take effect to-mor-
row, and his resignation has been accepted
by the postmaster general. Col. Shape
was one of the first of the old officials i'm the
department to tender his resignation TO Mr..
Villas, when the latter became postmaster
general. but he was requested 10 withdraw.
and remain at his post, at least for a season
to assist in the work of reorganizing the in
spection branch of the service. He assented
but with the understanding that he should
90 out about this time. Postmaster Cen
eral Villas says that Col. Sharpe's services
have been of the greatest value to his adj
ministration in its work of remodeling.
that his zeal could not have been greater
nnder an administration with whom he was
in political accord. His resignation was
entirely voluntary. He wiz resume the
practice of law at Chattanooga. Mr.. James
Maynard. the present chief clerk of tie d.
vision of inspectors, will temporarily take
Col. Sharpe's place. 1t is probable that no
permanent appointment to the place will be
made before autumn.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. THE impression
is that the man who got so severely handled
by the president for making a bad recon-
mendation which he was not willing to
stand by, does not live in Ohio. but that
some other state or territory had the dis
tnction of possessing a new Judge whose
hackers did not mean it. Ex-Representa-
tive follett says he has thought the thing
over and finds that there has been no Judge
appointed in Ohio and no Ohio man ap-
pointed TO judgeShip outside of the state.
Mr. Follett and other Democratic members
have informed the president ON different
occasions that nobody ever meant ANYTHING
by signing petition, and that it was not
fair to hold them TO a recommendation un-
less IL was made in a personal letter. but
the president has refused TO see the thing
in that light and wants to know what
recommendations are for if not to recon-
mend. The presidents letter receives COM
mendation on every hand, and particular
significance is attached TO the reference TO
his fight against bad elements OF both
parties"

Prevented Another Trial.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Summary vengeance
on a murderer was taken by mob at
Neosho in this state Wednesday night. The
victim was Garland Mann. In September
of last year DIR. Chenowith, one of the most
prominent citizens of Mcdonald county.
was murdered. About o'clock at night
he was passing from his office to his resi-
dence when he was assassinated. The gem
eral belief was that the murder was the
Outgrowth of bitter political quarrel, and
suspicion centered ON Garland Mann. He
was arrested and narrowly escaped lynch
ing. He had three trials, the jury disagree
ing the first time. On the second he was
convicted, the supreme court gave him an
other trial, and again the jury disagreed.
He was in jail at NeoShO awaiting his fourth
trial. At late hour a mob. of twenty-five
men OverpOwered the jailer. Mann had a
pOcket-knife with which he defended HIM
self so vigorously that they shot him to
death and left the corpse in the Jail The
mob was from the scene of the murder,
near Pineville.

Steamship nEaiEsubsidies.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IA state
ment has been compiled by the superin-
tendent of foreign mails, Mr.. Bell, show
ing that the government has already paid
the Pacific Mail Steamship company in sub
sides more than $5, 000,0 900. This was not
in the nature of compensation for mail car
Tying but in gifts to encourage American
commerce. The company has tWenty-one
steamships which cost not more than $780,
900 each. Thus it will be seen that the
subsidies have paid for fully half the in
veStment in steamships. The feeling
against the Pacific Mail people is strong,
not because they have refused to carry the
mail, but because they have induced others
to enter into a conspiracy to hamper the
government if possible. It is charged that
these people have gone to the extent Of
using their pooling or operating contracts
with foreign lines to give the department
trouble. There is some satisfaction in
knowing that the United States companies
which have refused to carry the mails Will
sustain damages other than the mere loss Of
the revenue heretofore derived by them
from the service. A mail steamer enjoys
certain privileges not given to others. For
example, the hosting of the little green
bag, with ''Unlted States Mall" gives the
steamer right of way entering port. In
various respects the right to show the flag
is considered an advantage. But it is
privilege hedged about and forbidden unless
the service is rendered. The United States
statutes positively prohibit and provide
penalty for placing in any manner the
words United States mail, or words of like
import, upon any vessel not actually en-
gagged in carrying the mail, or giving notice
by publishing III a newspaper or otherwise
that any vessel is used in carrying the mail
when the same is not actually so used"
The penalty is fine of from S10O to $500
for each Offense, and it is understood that
orders will be issued for the rigid enforce
ment of this law.

NEW YORK, Aug. Tt looked like old

In fact it looked like war times all over the
city. Great crowds of strangers arrived on
every train and boat in anticipation of Sat
urday's funeral pageant. But it was IN the
hotel lObbieS that the most extraordinary
assemblies gathered, and friends of twenty
years ago who were made enemies by the
war shook hands and made it up. Some
of the scenes between the soldiers of the
North and South were heart stirring and
there were groupings of grand old figures
on all sides. In the midst of such a scene
stood Gen. Phil Sheridan. Suddenly a
red-faced man advanced, leading Gen.
John 3. Gordon of Georgia toward the
Union soldier. Then he introduced them
and the two old warriors seized hands
with firm grip and looked each other fair
in the eyes. Then their hands trembled
but they did not release the friendly grasp.

Murdered for Money.

CHICAGO. Aug. Mrs. N. Walsh, a
widow 60 years old, was found to-day i'm a
small back room OF her house at 600 Fulton
street, dead. Her arms and limbs were
tightly bound together with small cord
and that the old lady has been fOully mur-
dered was evidenced by another cord pulled
tight and knOtted around her throat. The
murdered woman was thought by neighbors
to be somewhat crazy. The house she
lived in is a twO-story cottage, all of
which she rented out, living
in two small rear rooms herself. The body,
when found, lay up against the wall, with
the head in a corner. The limbs were
drawn up in a strained manner. as though
in a struggle for breath. Everything in the
room had been ranSacked and turned inside
out. leaving no doubt that robbery was the
object of the murder. 1t has long been ru-
mored that Mrs. Walsh kept large sums OF
money in the house. She had but one
daughter. as far as known. There is no
clue to the perpetrators.

special agents of the general land Office
could personally inspect the claims. For q
time the clerks in the Office went on filling
patents as before, but they were not pre-
sented for signature. Between 6. 200 ard
1000 of these were written before the fourth
of July, bearing date in the 109th year of

reason. 1t is a rule of the land office that

New Army Regulations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Secretary En-
dicott has prepared surprise for army Off
GERS 10y amending certain army regulations
so as to make them read as follows: ''An
officer shall not fill any staff appointment
or other situation, the duties of which will
detach him from his company regiment or
corps, until he has served at least three
years with the regiment or corps, nor shall
any officer remain detached longer than four
years, unless assigned 10 special duty by the
wardeparhnent." " The secretary prOmulgates
this change with the following order: "All
officers below the grade of field officers who
have been absent for period of four years
or longer from the regiment or corps will
be relieved from their present duties as
soon as practicable after the receipt of this
order and directed to report for duty with
their respective regiment or corps. In the
selection of aideS-de-camp to fill vacancies
created by the operation of the
last preceding paragraph major and briga-
dier generals will confine their selections
to the officers OF the regiments of the line
of the army not prohibited in regulations
and preferable to subalteTns. This action
on the part of Secretary Endicott is i'm pur-
suance of his policy to provide for a rotation
of officers. Repeated efforts have been
made in congress to secure legislation that
would have the same effect as the above
regulation, but each attempt has failed.
The secretary of war accomplisheS the
change by amending the regulations, which
ne claims he has authority TO do.

Rumors of Severe Friction Between the
Mississippi River Steamboat and
Rail Lines.
Boat Lines Reported to be Cutting Rates
Below Cost of TranspOrta-
tion by Rail.
Joint Freight Tariff Issued on Mil
waukee and Superior City North
ern Pacific Business.
The Baltimore d. Ohio Still Fighting.
Tea on the Union Pacifc--
Rail Notes.
Competition for River Traffic.

1t Is learned, through private informa-
tlon, that the railroad lines interested in
the traffic along the Mississippi river are in
high state of indignation over the low
rates which the river boat lines are cha rg-
ing on class goods. For the last few weeks
1t is stated that the boat lines have been
charging rates, which are cut of from 10
TO 20 per cent. of the tariff rates, which
were announced at the opening; of naviga-
ton. 1t is stated that they have been
carrying goods from st. Louis to st. Paul
at 10 cents per 100 pounds, rate which
the railroads cannot think of meeting. This
rate was made on second and third
class goods, while fifth-clasS have
been carried for s cents and in
several instances at cents per 100 pounds.
This was done by the boat lines because of
the small amount of traffic i'll transit. The
railroad lines more deeply interested are
the Milwaukee IL St. Paul, the Chicago d6
Northwestern and the Rock Island. Their
rates when navigation is closed are 80 cents,
hrst class; 40 cents, second; so cents, third;
20 cents, fourth: and 17115 cents fifth, per
100 pounds; while the rates now being
charged by the boat lines are 20 cents, first
class: III cents second; 15 cents, third;
121z cents, fourth; and 10 cents, fifth; but
almost exclude the railroad lines from COM
peting for business to and from local pool
points along the river. 1t will be re-
membered that at meeting some
time ago at Chicago, Geo. l.. Carman,
commissioner of the Northern Traffic aSSo-
citation. conferred authority to the lines in
that association to make whatever rates the
boat lines were making, so that they could
compete for business to and from points
along the Mississippi river, between ST.
Paul and st. Louis. This they have been
doing some time, but the boat lines would
make reductions as the railroad met the
rates they were charging. The fight has
been very quiet, but the rates are now so
low that the railroad cannot compete for
business tributary to the boat lines without
hauling at rate less than the cost of trans
portation. 1t is likely that Commissioner
Carman will interest himself in this affair,
and try and induce the boat lines to uphold
the rates published on their tariffs.
