that disgraces a civilized state. Important
witnesses have been murdered others,
under threats and fears of similar treat

defenseless women have been attacked at

stancy and devotion which | can never

they bestowed upon him he discharged with

and affection they gave him were we'll

THE present Congress evidently attaches
little importance to the District of Colum-
lila. Yesterday was the last day approprl-
atod for District affairs, yet absolutely
nothing was done. The whole day was
spent in llibusterlng about the traction
road, upon which subject no progress was
made, and our watchful legislators ad-
jouned leaving a mountain of business for
IeXt session.

Unusually Heavy DIshnrsemcnts.

Statements prepared at the Treasury De-
partment show that the receipts OF the
government so far this month are de-
cidedly less than the expenditures, and
the end of the month the public debt state
ment TO be Issued Aug. 1 will show little,
II any, decrease. The payments have been
unusually heavy, over $4,000, 900 having
been paid out this week on pensions alone.

The New York Worlds Washington cor
respondent learns that the Presidents in
spiration for his civil service order was
drawn from letters written by civil service
reform people in different parts of the
country complaining that tine appointees of
the administration had entered into the fall
campaign with an ardor not excellei by
that of their Republican predecessors. The
correspondent goes on to state that the
heaviest and most frequent complaints come
from Indiana, About two months ago Mr..
Stockslager, assistant commissioner OF the
general land Office, went out into Indiana
to look after his chances for the congres.
sional nomination. The President heard of
his mission and expressed his displeasure to
Mr.. Lamar. Civil Service Commissioner
Edgerton himself went out TO Indiana to
work against Judge Lowry, the present
representative from the twelfth district.
More recently, when the Democratic con-
yentlon was to be held In Judge Holman's
district, several Of the federal ,ofllceholders
in the state entered warmly into the fight.
And the President ought not to forget that
II was this particular outrage on reform
which Topped Holman and set him to yell

rades scattered about that cornfield.
From three sides Of that field q steady
fire was sent after the few poor fellows
struggling to the rear, and so incessant and
deadly was that fire that only one OF that
brave little band succeeded in regaining the
regiment, and before he reached it he re-
ceived shot which shattered his arm and
a other whic'. struck and penetrated his
cartridge box, thus saving him from IL fatal
wound.
This miscopceived movement 30 gallantly
executed by this brave Indiana regiment
is O. e of those examples Of daring and
devotion to duty which stand out in bold
relief in SO many places in the history Of
the war. And the people of Philadelphia
will have warmer and almost personal
interest in this narrative when they are
told that the lone soldier who came back
over that fatal field with his broken arm
and shattered cartridge box is one Of their
own citizens whom they have honored with
their esteem and suffrages, gentleman
who, if his past civil and professional life
is presage OF the future, will be OF great
service to our city and State-we refer t,

upon his refusing she fired three shots at
him from a Colts forty-ive revolver, two
taking effect in his head and one in his
chest, killing him instantly. The woman
claims to be the mother OF hie five weeks

promised to marry her but always failed to
keep the promise, and she made up her
mind to kill him it he refused again. After
the shooting she and her brother drove to
Kiowa and gave herself up to the officers

DID SHE SHOOT.
A Colorado Girl Who 10 Said to Have Killed
Wright.

DENVER, May l2.-To-day the prelimin.
ary examination OF the girl who killed
Robert Wright, at Elizabeth last night, was
held. Her name was discovered to be
Alice Burns and that of her brother James
l. Burns. Their parents are highly respect
able people OF this city. The general opin-
ion here il that the girl was seduced by
Wright as she alleges, and that her action
to that extent is justified. Both were re.
manded to jail to await the action of the
grand jury. The two balls taking effect in
Wright's head entered the face hardly ,alf
an inch apart. Some doubt is expressed
as to the ability of q woman SO frail as
Miss Burns to be able to hold a revolver
with the steadiness required to send Sec
ond ball in such close proximity to the
first. The impression among many is that
her brother did the shooting while she vol
unfairly assumes the blame.

cellars in the various parts of the city, par
ticularly along the business houses on
Main street between Third and Fourth.
The loss will reach many thousands VI
