WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Mrs. S.
B. Cushing, Of Michigan, clerk in the
Post Office Department, was to-day dis
missed at her own request. She is said
to have been an efficient clerk, and
when the requst was refused she Alb
sented herself from her desk until the
Department was forced to remove her.
Her resignation had not been sought,
and her eccentric conduct caused con-
siderable remark.
Sixteen post-ofiice inspectors were
to-day dropped from the rolls Of the
Department for the reason that the pro-
stationary term ofthe recently-appointed
inspectors will expire July lst, aud
under the terms OF their appointment
their salaries will be increased from
81 200 to LOCO per snnIm, in conse-
quence Of which the decrease 10 the
fierce is made necessary.
The contract for supplying 100000
pounds Of tobacco for the use OF the
navy during the mex. fiscal year has
been awarded to Myers Brothers & Co.,
of Richmond, Va, at 25 cents pound.
Land. Commissioner Sparks has rem
dered o decision in favor Of q settler
named Walden, who settled upon un-
surveyed land which was afterward
selected by the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company as indemnity. The
Commissioner holds that uus4ryeyed
lands were not affected by the indem-
nity withdrawal.

SAVANNAH, Ga, June 2S.-The
Coachmen's Club, an organization Of
negro drivers, started an excursion to
Beaufort. S. c., to day. While cross
ing Calabogls sound, thirty miles from
Savanna, Griffin Denagal shot and
killed Bob Watts (both mulattoes),
originally from Augusta, Ga.
in the tight that followed four ne
groes were badly cut, one ben Chipp)
being dangerously wounded on the
head. There were 200 negro excur-
sionists on board, and only h-lf a
dozen white men. After the arrest Of
the murderer some Of his friends pro-
posed to release him and take possess
sion Of the steamer. A demonstration
was made, but it was unsuccessful.
The boat was turned and brought back
to Savannah.
The question Of jurisdiction is likely
to aiise, as it is not settled whether the
steamer was IN Georgia or South Caro-
lima waters at the time Of the murder.
Denega' and three others are under ar
rest in this city. The jury Of inquest
tonight rendered a verdict Of wjlful
murder against Donegal.

Striking Illinois Miners Turned Oat
of their Houses.
nv Telegraph 10 the Uispatch.1


CHICAGO, June ga special from
Grape Greek, H., says the miners who
went on q strike May lst are now being
turned out, like so many cattle, in the
woods. They struck for the Pitts
bureh scale OF seyeuty-fye cents a
ton, but subsequently offered to ar
bitrate. The company declined to
permit outside interference with its
business, but placed a strong guard
over its property and notified the
strikers to vacate the houses they oc-
cupied. The men sought relief in
law, but the Court decided the houses
must be vacated. The men were given
till June 2lst to move out, but failed
to comply with this requirement, and
last week the work of forcible eviction
was begun. The strikers with their
families are camped in the woods, and
subsist on the pittance doled out to
them by the union. They number
about one thousand persons. II is
asserted that but for few professional
agitators, who assume to lead and
dictate, the men would long since have
been back to work. Their present
condition is deplorable.

president of the American College at

Father Curtis was formerly rector of
