AUFDEMORTE'S SHORTAGE.
The Ex-C Clerk Testifies in His Own Behalf, and
Denies Taking the Money.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 19-In the United States
District Court, to-day. Aufdemort the abscond-
ing subtreasury clerk, testified in his own be-
half regarding the shortage of $43. 900 mentioned
in the testimony of Quaih the government ex-
pert. He said: "The examiners counted the
paying -teller's and the receiving teler's money,
and then went into the vault. / saw a large
package come from outside through the receiv-
ing-tellers window The receiving teller took it
and put il on his table. / asked Flanders what
it was. He said some bank had cent it in. The
package remained there all day."
Aufdemorte then related all that occurred in
their efforts to get the package into the vault.
THE next day, after Flanders had made up
his balance, he opened his package. 1t con-
tanned $43, 504. Flanders said to me, i am $43,
900 over; guess have Simpsons cash in mine
Simpson then called the examiners and SAID
that the cash had got mixed up Mr. Quaiff
could not understand it. Simpson told me that
we three-he, Flanders and myself-must stick
together; that none but us and Herwig knew
examiners out and treat them. The first day of
the examination Simpson asked me for $40, 900 in
silver and to say nothing about it. did so, and
next day he told me to take $l0, 600 off my hooks

THE COINAGE QUESTION.

No Probability that the Present Congress
Will Make Change in the Law.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-Chairman Bland, of
the House committee on coinage, weights and
measures, is quoted as having given the opinion
that If his bill for the free coinage of the stand
ard silver dollar was passed by Congress it would
be vetoed by President Cleveland. This opinion
is entertained by many others. Mr.. Bland has
anticipated, so far, all of the work on coinage
matters, even to the report of his bill to the
House with an adverse recommendation from a
majority of the committee, and he is further
quoted as having sad in private consultation,
that the House will reject his measure; that it is
opposed to any legislation on the subject of sill
YER coinage whatever. The great body of Con-
gress is opposed to any character of change in
the coinage laws at this time, principally because
no one has proposed change that seems safe or
feasible.
A bill to suspend silver coinage would be de-
feated In the House, so, also it is believed. any
kind of free coinage. The President Is willing
to sign measure that is fair compromise be-
tween suspension and the present coinage law;
but he is opposed to free coinage. because it
would be an enlargement of the volume of silver
currency. There is not the least likelihood of
change of any kind being affected In coinage at
this session of Congress.

The Prospect of Its Passage Causes Scram-
BILE for a Position.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 49, Anticipating the pas
sage by Congress of the Blair educational bill,
there have been more than forty applications
made for the position of Commissioner of Educa-
ton, recently vacated by General Eaton, who
has become president of the college at Marietta,
0. This position, which has heretofore been one
of minor Importance and influence, will be elet
waited to one OF the most powerful within the
gift of the government if tho Blair bill becomes
law. 1t will place in the hands of the Commits
sioner the disposal of large number of offices
and the detail work of the distribution of the
whole appropriation Such scramble for an of
fee has probably not been seen for many years.
and is taken as an indication that the bill will be
passed by Congress- because the men who have
made application for the place have done so after
consultation with the majority in the House. 1t
is conceded that the measure will pass the SEN
ate.
The application for a'position in anticipation
of legislation is not considered premature or un-
usual. 1t is frequently done. Seldom is place
Great ed by Congress before there are number
of applications for it. and it often occurs that
the President or Cabinet officer promises it be-
fore the bill creating the place is acted upon by
either branch of Congress-

capped from her keeper this morning, and no
trace of her has yet been found Recitations at

lily attred herself in wrapper, and with moth
ing but slippers on her feet, had left the house.

and at least 200 citizens were searching in
all directions for her. About o'c,ock she
was found at Pine Rock. few miles from the
Waldo residence AS the party approached
Mrs Waldo was trying to ascend the face of the
rock, which is nearly perpendicular, and they
called to her to wait and they would come to her
assistance. At that moment she slipped on the
rock and fell headong down. striking among the
rocks at the feet CT her friends. She lived but a
few minutes after being picked up Mrs. Waldo

young children. It is thought that her insanity
dates from the birth of her last child some
months ago.

A Belgian Bankers Rascality and Flight

LONDON Feb. ia story comes from Bel
GUM of the fight to New York. last Saturday,
on Red Star steamer from Antwerp. Of we'll
known and hitherto highly esteemed financier of
Brussels. Since his departure it has leaked out
that he has for some time past been engaged
in liaison with a woman in Paris, to whom
nearly all the cash the fnancier could lay his
hands upon found its way. Owing to the unique
and entirely original methods adopted by
the pair, they were enabled to conduct
their scandalous operations without the least
attempt at concealment An apartment was
secured in fashionable quarter of Paris where
in the woman was installed as mistress, under
the name of a lady long since deceased. and to
whom the world has paid high tribute for her be-
nevolence and public spirited works. The inan-
cier's frequent visits to Paris excited no suspi-
cion and his calls upon the lady won for him an
enviable reputation for charitable deeds among
her neighbors. The most singular feature Of
the affair is the fact that although the lady
whose name the financer's mistress bore was
well-known by repute to the woman's neighbors
and acquaintances. not one of them appeared
to know that she was no longer living.
