Washington Critic.
The recent visit of ex-senator Mcdonald, of
Indiana, to Washington, revives the rumor that
he is to succeed Mr. Justice Bradley on the bench
of the United States Supreme Court before the
1st of January next. Mr. Justice Bradley reached
the age of seventy--at which justices of the
United States Supreme Court may retire--on
the 4th of March last He is expected to retire
in the fall Chief justice Waite will reach the
age of seventy on the 29th of November, 1886,
Mr. Justice Miller, on the 4th of April, 1886 and

Careless Handling Of Transfer Certificates.
WASHINGTON, July 2l,-A package containing
five certificates OF transfer, each of the denomi-
nation of $4,000 sent from the Office of the
Register Of the Treasury, last night to that of
the Comptroller of the Currency, was mad
vertenty left in the Office of the Deputy Comp
troler, upon the top of the safe. The package
was found by the charwoman and carried to the
lieutenant of the watch The Deputy Comp
troller was sent for and went to the Treasury at
once. Upon examination Of the packages
only four OF the certificates
found inclosed, and search was
at once instituted which resulted, at the ex-
pration of half an hour in finding the missing
certificate among the waste paper, and much
crumpied up. The certificates have something
the appearance of government bends, and one of
the theories advanced is that some undertook
to steal it, but finding it worthless, that she
or he was likely to be searched before leaving the
building, hastily threw it away. Some incon-
venience would have resulted from the loss of
the paper. but the government would have lost
nothing Of value, nor would the assumed thief
have been gamer. The Comptroller will inves
tigate the matter as thoroughly us possible.

MINOR MENTION.
POstmasters Must Keep all Public Moneys
ALWAYS on Hand.

Always on Hand.
WAsHINGToN July 2l.-The law officer of the
Postoffice Department has given an opinion to
the effect that postmaster who uses or converts
to his own use the postal funds in his own Office
although not required to deposit until the end of
the current month or quarter, is guilty of en-
bezzlement. 1t has been supposed by many
postmasters that, under section 1249 of the
postal laws and regulations. Revised Statutes,
4,653, there was no embeZzlement by the postmas-
ter until ne had wilfuly neglected to make his
deposits as required by the regulations. But the
opinion holds that under the provision of tho
postal law, Revised Statutes 3846 postmasters
are forbidden tc convert to their own use or de-
posit in an unauthorized bank or exchange for
other funds any public money collected by
them. If postmaster does use such moneys
wronSfully, converts them to his use. the
act of July 3, 1879, provides that any officer of
the United States or assistant, who shall embez
zle or convert public funds to his own use shall
be punished by fine and Imprisonment. Under
this act, any postmaster who uses postal funds.
intending to make them good when the time for
depositing arrives is liable to prosecution and
punishment.

Respectofthe Railroads.

New YORK, Dec. 10.-The boards of
directors of the following railway companies
held joint meeting at the Grand Central
depot to-day at noon and adopted resolu-
tionS of regret upon the death of Mr.. Will
lam H. Vanderbilt: The New York Cen
tral 81 Hudson River, the New York Il
Harlem, the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern, the Michigan Central, the Chicago &
cago, st. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha. New
York, Chicago 6o st. Louis and the Cleve-
land, Columbus, Cincinnati IL indianapolis.
The resolution is as follows:
The sudden death of Mr.. Vanderbilt, whose
influence reached over the continent, has
startled the whole country. He came into
possession of the largest estate ever devised
TO Il single individual and has administered
the great trust with modesty, without AFRO
gance and with generosity. He never used
his riches as a means of oppression Or to de-
stroy or injure the business of others, but it
constantly flowed into the enlargement of old
and the construction and development of new
works, some public in their character, which
opened new avenues OF local and national
wealth and gave employment directly and in
directly TO thousands of people. In keeping
together the combination OF railways known
rs the Vanderbilt system he performed work
of the highest benefcence to the investors
and producers of the whole country. To the
employees of his railroads he was exacting in
discipline and the performance of the duty.
He was merciless to negligence or bad habits
in vocation where millions of lives were de-
pendent upon alertness and fidelity. His
many and unoStentatiouS charities are known
only to the beneficiarieS, but the Vanderbilt
university, the Egyptian obelisk and the
medical college in New York will remain as
monuments OF his public spirit.

ago the family of Frederick Hausemeyer a
well-to-do German of Tarentum, Pa,
eighteen miles from this city, ate heartily of
salad of which raw pork chopped fine
was one of the principal ingredients. Last
Friday week the entire family, consisting
of the father, mother, three sons and three
daughters, were suddenly seized with ter
rible illness. The symptoms were all the
same. A distressing diarrh9a was the frsr
symptom. This was followed by feeling

and the most Of the patients became delir-

that DR.. Mccullough, the family
physician, at first thought it to be that
dread disease. From the suddenness with
which they had been stricken down their
house had been Stunned by the neighbors,
who feared that they were suffering from

tinued to grow worse, and yesterday
Frederick, aged 90 years, died in great
agony. John, the second son, is now so low
that he is not expected to live through the
night and the rest are at the point of death.
Before Frederick's death the physician be-
came convinced that the disease was trichi-
nosis. He secured some oflthe meat, and,
with the aid Of the microscope, found it
alive with trichina spirals. The meat was
purchased from farmer and was taken
from one of drove of hogs which he had
raised on his own farm. DR.. Mccullough
says he expects another of the family to die
tonight, and has no hopes that any of them
will recover

THE EIGHT-HOUR RULE.
The Federation of Labor Refers Its
Resolution for Revision.

The Federation of Labor Refers Its
Resolution for Revision.
WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-The Federation
of Labor Unions of the United States and
Canada resumed its session to-day, and
took up for consideration the resolution
providing that the eight-hour rule shall take
effect from May 1 next. The question
caused a general debate and developed a
diversity of opinions as to the best methods
of accomplishing the desired result. Some
of the delegates favored a gradual change;
some proposed a fine for working over
hours; others favored reducing the wages
with the hours; others urged that double
pay be eXacted for extra work, and others
advocate a general consultation with en-
ployers in order to secure united action.
An amendment, which provided that a
thorough canvass should be made IN the re-
spective trades for the purpose OF securing
the cooperation of as many as possible in
carrying out the resolution, was adopted.
Before final vote was taken upon the reso-
luton it was explained that its adoption
did not compel any organization which did
not feel strong enough to carry into opera
ton the eight-hour law to do so. The in
tentlon was not to force a strike, or compel
organizations to do what they did not feel
able to do. With this understanding it was
said that all the delegates were in favor of
the resolution. 1t was thought that the
resolution in the present form did not con-
vey its intention as clearly as it should,
and it was referred to the committee on
resolutions for revision.
In the evening the resolution was passed
and 800 members of the local trades unions
paraded the principal streets. A mass
meeting was held after the parade, at
which the delegates to the federation were

Shot to Good Effect.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Dec. 10.-Sheriff
Ogesby, with Robert DOVE and James
Oliver, visited the Del Gardo ranch last
evening with a warrant for the arrest of
Manuel Del Garno on charges Of smuggling
and horse stealing. The ranch is twenty
miles below Eagle Pass on the Rio
Grande, and has been famous for
many years as general rendezvous
for horse thieves and outlaws from
both republics. A gang of Mexicans,
smugglers and desperadoes, made it their
headquarters. Arriving at the house the
officers found Del Gardo asleep on the lower
floor and were about to seize him when he
awoke and ired at Dove, the bullet graz
ing his head. The sheriff instantly fired,
sending bullet through Del GardO's heart.
The firing aroused the gang, who attacked
the officers and drove them from
the ranch. Obtaining reinforcements
from this place, the sheriff again
attacked the ranch at 5 o'clock
this morning. Many shots were exchanged.
Three Mexicans were killed. The rest
escaped into Mexico, carrying several
wounded with them and taking about
thirty horses, all of which are believed to
be stolen. One of the smugglers was ar
rested. Much plunder was found on the
premises. Del Gardo had been terror to
the border and was reputed very rich. 1t
is thought that the attack will result in
breaking up the worst gang of smugglers of
the border.
