REVOKED.

Or. Hire, Appointed Examining
Surgeon on Forged Papers, HAS
His Commission Revoked.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 26.-Corres-
pondence between Hon. John B.
Black, commissioner Of pensions, at
Washington, and Hon. Louis St. Mar
tin, member of congress from the first
Louisiana district, developes the fact
that DR.. William H. Hire, of this city,
had been appointed examining surgeon
on the recommendation Of st. Martin,
which turns out to be a forgery.
On August Goth Commissioner
Black wired st. Martin as follows:
Il am advised that DR.. Hire
is under indictment for viola
ton of section 5538, Revised
Statutes of the United States. Acting
largely upon your recommendation,
l have appointed him examining sur
geon. Will you advise me of the con.
dition of affairs"
81. Martin replied that he did not re.
member having recommended Hire
for any position and called for a copy
of the form of recommendation
Monday st. Martin received a lettel
from the commissioner, inclosing
copy of a telegram which reads; "Tht
appointment Of DR.. Hire and two othel
persons named as surgeons would givC
satisfaction and the same was recon-
ed. St. Martin"
"To the above, st. Martin replied:
The telegram, a copy of which yol
send in your letter, vas never
written or sent by me, nor have l eve
authorized any one to send it. 1t is
forgery" The section of the revised
statute under which Hire is indicted
refers to the collection or presentation
of fraudulent claims against tn
government.

Him.
AUSTIN, Aug. 26.-Details of a ter
rible series Of murders committed at
johnson City, Blanco county, an in
terror town. on Monday are furnished
by a citizen of that place, Just arrived
here. 1t appears that the daughter Of
A, L. Locke, an old resident, was re-
Gently discovered to be in a delicate
condition. 1t is alleged that Lockie's
relatives attributed to him the crime
of seducing her. The matter preyed
upon his mind, and IN Monday after
noon he left home, intending, as
he avowed, to go to John Green's
place, to borrow sun of
money. Green and family were away.
He entered the house, took
Green's Winchester. returned to the
residence of his brother, Berry Locke.
He shot and killed Berry and his wife.
A neighbor, named John Nicholson,
rode up Just then. He forced Nichol-
son to 90 with him to Mr.. Stokes
Then Nicholson was lost sight of. His
horse was tied there when found, and
it is supposed he also was killed
From there Locke went to his own
house and shot and cut the throat OF
Mrs. Henry Locke, of Slano county

Death of Ex-Gov. Fenton.

BUFFALO, Aug. ga special tele-
gram from jamestown states that ex-
Gov. Reuben E. Fenton died suddenly
this afternoon at 3 o'clock while at his
desk in the First National bank, of
which he was president.
Cashier Morgan stepped into the
room to consult him and saw the ex-
governor with his head leaning upon
the chair and breathing heavily. He
hurried to him and the clerk called a
physician, but death resulted soon after
he was discovered in an unconscious
coalition. 1t is thought that death re-
suited from heart disease. The date
of the funeral is not yet definitely
fixed. He was in his sixty.seventh
year.

G. W. Muir, Secretary, ETC., etc.-Dear
Sir: Please accept my thanks for the
invitation you SO courteously convey

you suppose, very agreeable to me to
visit the scene of my s~chool-boy days,

much regret that l find it impractical
BILE to be present as invited.
To the Board Of Directors l return
my grateful acknoW Judgments for their
kind consideration, and with the wish
that the Fair may be as brilliant as in
the olden time, and the horses as fine
as when "Uncle Ned" Blackburn, and
Warheld and Winter and Shy and
Downing and others were exhibiting,
l am respectfully and truly yours,

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of
Indigestion are present, as latulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like persriration, producing
a very d~isagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a very common atten-
dant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application
of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which

Arrest of a Counterfeiter in ST.

Arrest OF a CounterIelter In oL'
LOUIS
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26.-It has just
transpired that "a man named Lucien
White was arrested here a week ago
last Monday, charged with being con-
cerned in a gigantic schemet to counter
felt Brazilian bank notes. White was
arrested at the Hotel Mosher, where
he had been stopping for some
time, and the detectives engaged in
ferreting out the case have discovered
partly finished notes amounting in the
aggregate to 100000. The captured
money is chiefly in notes of the demon
nation of two hundred milries, but
they consist only of the fronts of the
notes and are not signed. The backs,
however, have been discovered in new
Orleans, and thus the scheme has
failed. Other arrests are expected tt
be made, both here and in New Or
leans.
