A CHANCE FOR CLAIMANTS.
Improper Influences in Washington Of
fetal Circles.


WASHINGTON, April 13.-There are
honest claim agents in Washington. One
of these said to me the other day: Il be-
lieye there are going to be a good many
meritorious claims paid off during TINS
administration. For the last few years a
very liberal and unjust public sentiment
has existed on this matter, which has pre-
vented the Congressional Committee from
acting on cases on their merits. No mat
ter how good a claim may be, the
average Congressman hates to touch
it with a ten-fOOt pole. He fears
the demagogues OF his district viii
raise howl over it. OF course hundreds
of frauds and jobs are put up on the
Treasury by dishonest claimants. But
the existing preJudices bar out many de-
serving people from receiving simple ius-
tice. Some Of our queerest characters
here are honest claimants made cranks
by long neglect and disappointment. The
President is a man who does not care
jot for the yawp OF demagogues. lie can
exert a beneficial influence in this direc-
ton if he chooses, anC l believe he Will
choose"
A fragrant case of improper influence
has just come to light in which "A poor
woman is understood 10 have been black
mailed to the extent of half her salary by
the mistress OF her superior. There are
grounds for believing that a number of
unsayory scandals Will be exposed i'm the
departments before the administration is
many weeks older. Iii related of a high
official, whose resignation has just been
accepted, that on one occasion he sent
one of his messengers, negro. for
bottle OF cologne. The II. o. did not
notice " hich messenger went, and at last
becoming impatient at the delay called
another messenger lounging in the hall,
and demanded:
Here, you rascal! Why didn't YOU 20
after that 'Rosalie' sent you for?''
"Nebber sent me after no Rosa Lee
sah," rejOned the darkey, promptly.
Las time you tole me to 90 fo' anyo it
was that black-eyed lady across the hall"
This is a fact. do not relate 1t because
it is funny, but because it shows the open
ness OF the practices which have prevailed
in some circles of official life.

Frank Moody Forces His Wife to Marry
Man of Whom He Is Jealous

PITTsBURG, PA, April 13.-For the last
five years Frank Moody resided with his
wife in the Twelfth ward. They got along
very well apparently until John Steirheim
came to live with them a year or so ago.
Some time since the family went to New
Jersey, Steirheim going TO that city at
the same time. About month ago Mrs.
MOODY returned. leaving her husband in
New York. Steirheim had returned some
time before. Mrs. Moody had enemies
here, who wrote anonymous letters to her
husband, alleging that his wife re-
ceiVed frequent visits from Sheirheim.
Moody himself then returned, and. az
ter listening to the stories OF several
neighbOrs, took to drinking. He caught
his wife and Steirheim together on one
occasion, and, drawing a revolver, de-
clared they would have to get married
and that Immediately. Aid. Burns was
summoned TO the house and informed of
the circumstances. After ut first demur-
ring he performed the ceremony. Mrs.
Moody became very ILL., and Steirheim re-
turned TO his home In Allegheny. Last
night Moody returned home intoxicated,
pulled his wife out of bed. and, although
she was hardly able TO stand, compelled
her, under threats of death, to enter "A

OF her husband. She alleges that Alder

that she was legally married to Moody,

An unusual and very interesting phe-

from four to SIX feet from it. Ii was first

Horses which kept their heads close

current did not seem to reach down 10
them. Many team, became frantic and
uncomfortable. One horse was SO fright

Wi!d Chase for an Appsrition Who
Loved to Scare the Ladies.

Loved to Scare the Ladies.
BINGHAM, MASS, April 14.-This old
town has had a sensation. For two or
three weeks past a ghostly white figure,
with his head covered by cowl, has been
seen on the streets between and II
o'clock in the evening. He was first seen
in the vicinity OF the Third Unitarian
Church, and always disappeared IN the
bingham cemetery. His ghostship seemed
to have a liking for ladies, but was too
demonstrative. Several ladies have been
assaulted by this early summer visitor,
and one of them was so badly frightened
that she has been confined to her house
several DAYS. Last night the intruder APP
peared AS usual, and was up to his old
tricks Of frightening women. He also
went through a crowd Of men, but not
with the ease and celebrity which are usu-
ally expected Of ghosts. There was di-
rect contact Of this denizen of the spirit
world and mortals. and several Of the lat
ter were knocked down.
Anticipating that this pugilistic ghost
would make his rounds tonight, num-
Der of young men armed themselves with
clubs, pitchfOrks and shOtguns and formed
themselves into a vigilance committee.
They assembled near the point where Mr..
Ghost made his first appearance and
awaited his coming. They waited for
some time. At last one Of the armed band
discovered figure on the other side Of
fence near the rendezvous, whereupOn,
believing that he had seen the ghost, be
ran off at the top OF his speed followed
by the others of the committee. The vIgi-
lantes soon returned, and were about to
wreak summary vengeance on the sup
posed ghost, when Chief OF Police Wilton
and another officer explained matters.
The explanation was to this effect A
detective from Springfield had come to
bingham with warrant for the arrest of
man in town for larceny. Chief Wilton
and another officer were aiding the detec-
tive in his search, and all were looking
the ghost-hunters over to see If their man
was among them. The detective hid be-
hind the fence that his presence might
not be noticed, and was mistaken for the
ghost, who is still at large.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The Northern
Pacific Railroad is pushing the Cascade

possible, having 800 men at work on il.
The directors think it will be finished in
two years and think its cost will not ex-
coed lO,O00,OO0 TO $l2,O0O,0OO.
Capitalists and railroad men outside of

Northwest are of the opinion that the
building of the Cascade branch at this
time IS mistake; that the Northern Pa
cliic needs the money il will spend on IL
much more for other purposes, and that it
is not aud Will not be needed until that
