brilliant career. he has ever proved
true to his faith and party. and al
though the once popular principle, ''to
the victors belong the spoilS." during
the last few years has given way to Il
better policy, be, in his sincere convic-
tions, still adhered TO the traditional
Jei'ersonian principle. During his
hong public service, no man Of the pro-
nounced conservatism, when in his
judgment advisable. and aggressive
ness when advocating legislation and
political action, has more fully repre-
scented his party; yet no one can claim
with II shadow of truth that the
motives Of Thomas A. Hendricks were
other than those Of II high-niinded.

his country at heart. BY his positive
political acts and freedom of speech he

permitted to see that his ablest oppon-

tive halls, are, and always have been

Personal Gossip as to Whom the

NEW York, April l5.-Well-in-

from Washington that Secretary
Manning will resign at an early day
in order to accept the collectorship of
this port. They also smile when the
names of several other gentlemen,
who are said to be slated for the
coveted position, are mentioned. Per-
haps the most surprised man in town
was Gen. Martin Il. Nc
Mahon, when he read a
paragraph from Washington in a
paper stating that the president had
decided to appoint him as the success
sor of Collector Robinson. He was al
most overwhelmed with the congrat-
ulations of his friends during the alter
noon, and his explanations and avow-
ais that he knew nothing about the
matter were of no avail. II Think

THE TRUNK TRAGEDY.
Continuation of the Inquest Over the
Body of Preller.

ST.. Louis, Mo-, April l9.-The in
quest on the body Of Preller was re-
sumed to-day, but nothing of special

New York occupied room 146 at the
southern hotel on Easter Sunday and
that during the afternoon he

Maxwell, and that he informed one of
the bell boys of the house of the fact
and suggested that he look after the
matter. This bell boy Is named Will
liam Dawson and Is twenty-four years
old. He testified at the Inquest to-
day to the effect that during the after
noon of Easter Sunday he answered q
call from room l4G occupied by Mr..
Ross and that he took that gentleman
some postage stamps, but that
Mr.. Ross said nothing to
him about moaning in the
adjoining room. He also said that
prior to going to Mr.. Ross room he
