PHILADELPHIA, July 2S.-Edward 2.
PIersOn, the defaulting cashier of the
Baptist Publication Society, has turned
in all the personal property he possessed
to the Baptist Publication Society, but it
will reduce the amount he owes to them
less than $40, 900. He has also implicated
Benz. Felzberg, his assistant. The latter
became Ill after Persons mishap last
May, and has not been with the society
since. 1t is understood that he made a
confession, saying he was but a tool of
Pierson. 1t was understood to-day that
PiersOn, in order to avert the annoyance
of having detectives hanging around his
house, would have bail entered for his
appearance. Bail has been fixed at S., COO
No warrant was issued to-day for Felz-
berg, it being understood that he will re-
main where he can be found " hen wanted.

this, $4,015 15 has been recovered, leaving
a shortage at this date, of $26, ,406 27. The

CIGAR MAKERS AGGRIEVED.
District Assembly No. 40 Charged
With Accepting Blood Money.

With Accepting Blood Money.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-There was much
ill-feeling manifested to-day at the head
quarters of thePr0gressiYe Cigar Makers
Union, and three prominent members
made serious charges against District
Assembly 40 of the knights of Labor,
which, 1t was claimed, had treated the
Progressives unfairly in connection with
the "Schultz punching machine" which
Is supposed TO do the work OF four
persons. The Internationals refused TO
allow the machine to be used at all in
their shops, and the Pr0gressives also
went out on strike when it was first in
troduced, but finally accepted IL under
instructions from the arbitration COM
mittee Of District Assembly No. 40. Now
that they have decided to leave the
hnlghts OF Labor, they say
that they will "expOse everything"
and one of the three first mentioned
added: THE terms of settlement Effected
by the arbitration committee were that
the Progresslves should 20 back to work
and the Local Assembly was to receive S25
year for each buncning machine in use
in New York, or about $4,000 in three
years. We protested against this, but il
was useless. Nearly 800 people lost their
work, and the District Assembly was
paid blood money for doing it,"
Lawyer Martin, who represents Mr..
Schultz, at first denied that any such
Arrangement had been made with the
knights of Labor, but finally admitted
that Il contract of some sort had been
made with the arbitration committee per

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Cor respond, mt.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1885.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 70, 1883.
As usual here, Christmas day was
one of quiet home entertainments,
and family gatherings. The Depart
ments were closed, and 80 was the
White House. No one crossed it's
threshold on that day. 1t was pri-
vate residence, and the President en-
joyed the rights of a private citizen.
On next Friday it will be opened
wide to the whole world, or as much
of it as can crowd in during the hour
from one to two P. NJ. The New
Years day reception lasts from ten
o'clock until two, but it is the day on
which the official world of Washing
ington pays its respects to the Presi-
dent, and the official programme will
consume the time until one o'clock,
when the reception of citizens begins.
The President will first receive his
Cabinet and the Diplomatic Corps.
The latter will wear the attire of their
respective foreign Courts. Then the
Justices of the Supreme Court of the
U. S. will come, and the Judges of
the U. S. Court of Claims. Senators
and Representatives in Congress are
next in order, followed by the judi
cial officers of the various District
Courts, ex-Members of the Cabinet,
o.l M, Nf;n;otaro sc tha ITn;tal Ct,taa
Officers Il the Army and Navy will
greet the President next in the full
uniform Of their rank. Then Secre-
saries of various institutions, assistant
postmasters-general, and assistant
Encouragement, heads of Bureaus.
Associations of soldiers, veterans and
the Oldest InEabitant Association.
With them the official reception clo-
ses, and the peoples reception be-
gins.
Washington has never known q
moro prosperous Christmas tide than
the present one. Express companies
report that in number and value the
packages sent from the city this year
are in excess of those sent last year
by at least tnirty-fve percent The
clerks in the Postoffice say that the
number OF Chrictmas packages sent
from here this year exceeds those Of
last year by nearly one-third. And
the merchants report very greatly in
creased sales Of fancy goods for
Christmas presents over last year
The cause Of this difference is in the
policy Of President Cleveland. At
this time last year thousands of peo-
PIE here felt that the source Of their
income was menaced, and looked to
the idos Of March with dread. They
were too much perturhed tn permit
themselves any expense tina; was not
