WASHINGTON, September %. Tho
Secretary Of the lDterior has reversed
the decision Of Commissioner Black on
the claim Of Lila May Psvy, widow Of
DIR. Octave Pavy, late acting assistant
surgeon Of the United States army,
under contract with the Greedy expsii-
non, who died Of starvation at Cape
Sabine about June 6, 1884. The case,
briefly stated, is as follows: "Some
days prior to the termination OF
DR.. PAWS second yearly contract he
notified Lieutenant Greedy that be would
not renew his contract for the third
year, but would serve si,hout pay. A
short time thereafter Lieutenant Greedy
placed him under arrest, charging,
among other things, insubordination.
While still under arrest, aud aftet the
expiration Of his service contract, he
died. The Commissioner Of Pensions
rejected the claim upon the ground that
he was not at the time Of his death
in the service Of the United States.
The Secretary in reversing the Com
missioner's decision Is Of opinion that,
being under orders Of an srmy officer
at the time Of his death, he was, under
a liberal Interpretation Of the law, in
the Government service, and the War
and Navy Departments, having paid his
widow for his services u9 to his death,
the petition should be granted. Mrs.
Payy's name was ordered to be placed
on the pension-roll ct sl7 per month.

Splitting Treasury notes.
lBaltimore sun.


A new departure in the matter Of
counterieitlDg money was brought to
light at the United States Sub-Treasury
in Baltimore few days ago. A some
what worn ten-dollar Government bill
was presented at the cashiers window,
with a request for change, which was
given. The note was sent to Washing
ton as mutilated currency, and was re-
turned with the information that one
side Of the note was good, but the
other side was well.executed counter
felt Of the original. 1t was found that
a genuine ten.dollar bill had been split,
the face being separated from the
back-a seemipgly y-impossible under
taking. The original face, with coun-
terfeit back, had been used, and 1t Is
quite likely that the genuine back, with
a well.executed counterfeit face, had
been passed in some other quarter.
The portion Of tho note was worth
exactly it's proportion Of the whole, or
in other words, five dollars. More re-
Gently another ten-dollar front " was
presented at the cashiers window with
a similar request for change. The
clerk at the window, suspecting the bill
told the man who handed it TO wait a
moment until he could consult Dr..
Bishop. the Sub-Treasurer. DR.. Bishop
recognized in the note the familiar
game, and said it was worth Just live
dollars. When the clerk returned to
the window, however, the man had left
without waiting for his change. The
ub-TIeasury, which was out five doll
lars on the first transaction, was eyensd
up by the second. This system OF
manipulating paper money is perhaps
one Of the most dangerous forms OF
swindling ever attempted. One or
more genuine " fronts" mixed with
several whole notes would DO La
BILE to deceive expert bank-tel-
lers. The face bearing undoubt-
ed proof of genuineness, very few
would be apt to examine the backs Of
all the notes, unless something in the
feel of the paper might arouse suspicion.
Then should any one, especially if not
so expert as a bank-teller, happen to
strike the counterfeit side, aud have his
doubts about the notes, glance at the
other side would possibly set at rest all
questions. 1t would seem that the eX-
pert manipulators Of paper currency
will eventually compel the Government
to riyet together the two sides Of its
promises to pay.

MARX Twain" has entered the field

"As result of the most careful obser-
vation' Of the aspect Of the fixed stars
during the pas. two months, as affected
by the remarkable changes now going
on in the great nebulH in G Cassiopeia,
/ am able. to state with absolute GER

it's creation will occur on the Sd Of DC.

The agent will be meteoric stone--a
meteoric world, indeed, since its mass

sight about half way between the con-
stellation of Great Bear and the North
Star, and will make circle Of the south

immeasurable rapidity, turning the
right of this whole continent into red
glare of the most binding intensity.
As it approaches Canada 1t will make
a majestic downward swoop in the
direction Of Ottawa, affording spec
tacle resembling million inverted rain

Prophet Virgins right in the seat o'

Linden S. Clarke, who left his home,
in Manchester, about six years sgO or
account Of beirg involved in financial
troubles, returned yesterday afternoon,
end surrendered himse to the authori-
ties of that city. Upon his arrival he
went to the residence Of his son, in
Swsnsboro', just outside the limits OF
Manchester, and from there wrote a
note to Sergeant Fitzgerald saying thai
be wanted TO see him, and that he
;ClaIke) desired to surrender himself.
The Sergeant went up to see Clarke ;
he gave himself up aud was taken dogn
and put in the Manchester jail.
For some time before Clarke lef,
Manchester he was secretary and treas
urer OF the Buildirg-Fund Association
of that city. The cause of his leaving
was that the funds Of the Association
had in two instances been misappro
pTiated by him, and on these
charges the grand jury brought
in two true bills Of indictment
against him for felony. The amount Of
his indebtedness to the Association has
been paid in full, but the indictments
are still standing against him, and on
them he will probably be tried at this
term of the Hastings Court if the
Judges strength and the pressure Of
other business will admit. Clarke has a
wife and three children liviug-one son
and two married daughters. At the
time of his leaving he was clerking in
one Of the Richmond banks. While
away be spent a great portion OF his
time travelling.

The Dispatch of yesterday contained
an account of q difficulty which occur

who was counsel for Dugan, had re.
quested him to state that he was en-
gagged in the Hastings Court Of Man
chester and it was impossible for him
to be present. and asked that the cases
Of Mr.. Dugan be continued.
Mr.. Samuel NJ. Page said that he
represented the other side, and there was
great probability of warrant being
taken out against Dugan for attempted
murder.
The warrant was subsequently is-
sued. The case was continued until
Monday, and the accused bailei in the
sum Of $500.

CHICAGO, september 29.-The Ere-
ming Journal to-day will publisha case
of remarkable resuscitstion from sup
posed death of young married woman
named Mrs. Frazer. On July Both last
Mrs. Frazer gave birth to child, and
in August, after several days illness,
was pronounced dead by the attending
physician. DIR. Mark II. Lackersteen,
who was also attending Mrs. Frazer,
says:
"I did everything I could think Of to
restore life, without effect. Ten min
utes must have elapsed, though at the
time was not in q position to watch
the passage Of time. Then it suddenly
struck me that | would like to try q
b. podermic injection Of the solution
Of nitro. glycerine. ! took up ten drops
of il, and let the corpse have the full
benefit of it. The first minute there
was not a pulsation, but just gasp.
That was all. looked at my watch,
and there were four such gasps in about
sixty seconds; but there WAS no life.
In the second minute there were
six respirations, and a slight heart
pulse could be heard, but no
pulse could be felt. In the third
minute there were IL fespuations, and
the pulse became distinctly perceptible
at the wrist. In the fourth minute il
was $50 and upward, so that it could
not be counted. Her face flushed her
eyes began TO roll in their sockets; all
the muscles relaxed from the extreme
stiffness Of death, all contraction of the
limbs gradually relaxed, and she be-
came conscious. In my opinion in all
cases of shock or collapse this thiog
ought to be tried before they are given
over for lost. There is nothing pecu-
liar or sensational about it at all. The
only thing is | have been the first per-
son 10 try it.
"0ne per cent. solution in alcohol
Of nitro-glyceIine is the remedy, which
for some little time has been used for
epilepsy and things of that sort, aud
for some forms Of kidney trouble; also,
it has an effect on the blood-vessels.
We give it in doses of one drop, a drop
and half, two drops, OF maybe three
drops. In some cases we give it
through the mouth. 1t was never be-
fore given hypodermically, so far as |
am aware, until msde trial, with
success.r

says: The President was asked since
his return what he intended to do with
reference to the mission to Austria. lie
said be had given the matter but
little thought, but believed it was now
time that this Government should have
a representative at the Austrian Court.
He intimated that in all probability the
appointment would be made in the
next sixty days-perhsps sooner. The
opinion quite generally prevails that
Copgressma an Tucker, OF Virginia, can
have the appointment if he will accept
it, and it is quite probable he would
do so.
