ham and called on Major w. T. Suther-
bin, asking for transportation. lie ap-
peared TO be bright businessman, and
said he would be glad to get work. He
referred Major Sutherlin to a gentleman
whom Major Suthcrlin knew, and in re-
ply to inquiries the Major received a
tlattering letter OF accommodation. The
young man WAS then engaged as private
secretary, and proved TO be very etli-
cient. He had been on trial for week
or more, and seemed to be thoroughly
reliable. On Saturday Major Sutherin
left for Alexandria, and at the depot hand
ed the young man a package containing
$500 and directed him 10 take it to Mrs.
Sstherlin. Saturday night Mrs. Suther-
lin was notified that johnson was on a
spree down town and spending money
freely. Steps were then taken for ms
arrest, but he could not be found, and 1t
was afterwarl ascertained that he had
left the city IN a private conveyance and
subsequently turned up in Greensboro,

At meeting of the Committee on La

embodies, in addition to the features Of
the bill already agreed to, provision for
tine appointment OF special board, the
president to investigate ali strikes and
report the result to Congress. He was
also instructed to report a bill restricting
the sale OF conyict-made goods to a

Buchanan BILL prohibiting the importa-
ton Of conylct-made goods, was also
agreed to-
The President to-day returned to the
Senate disapproyed three pension bills
for the benefit of soldiers widows.
These acts ere vetoed on the ground that
the deaths did not result hom injuries
received during the war or sickness in
cident 10 army service, and until it is es-
tablished as a policy that all soldiers
widows shall be pensioned 1t is unfair
and unjust to make exceptions in favor

PARIS, April 1G.-The Opportunist
journals admit tho Opportunist party
suffered a severe defeat in yesterday g
elections in the Department Of Nord.
The RcpUbHque Frdncdis says :;
"There is madness in the air. Wemust
not despair, however, but must stub
bornly fight the battle"
The journal DcS DcJats SAYS: "The
efforts to concentrate the Republicans
have failed. The Moderates will no
longer vote with the Radicals"
The Petit journal says: ut is for
the Government to attach q proper
meaning 20 the demonstration in favor
OF universal suffrage just made"
None OF the papers regard Boulanger's
success in any other light than as a pro-
test against the home policy OF the Gov
eminent.
BOULANGER TO HIS CONSTITUENTS,
PARIS, April 16.-Boulanger has writ
ten a letter to the electors of the De-
psrtment of the Nord, in which he says:
"rhe 18th of April will henceforth be
marked in the annals Of the country as
the date of her true deliverance. You
have courageously resisted all pressure.
You have held your ground against the
acts of tyranny, obeying only the voice
of conscience. Workmen whom it was
attempted to overcome by intimidation
risked everything their daily
bread. Honor to your perseverance and
bravery. Politicians, who have never
but one programme-to hold Office
forever pretended not to understand
my profession of faith. But you
understand it, and You have joined
me in demanding the dissolution
of the Chamber. You have condemned
the impotence Of the revision OF the Con-
st.tution that is of an antirepublican
and usurping character. What France
demands, what the electors have affirmed
through my name, is the necessity Of
constituent assembly, before which
all ambitions Will he efiaced and
which will give the people the
large place they ought to occupy
under the republic This has always
been promised to them, but systematl-
cally withheld. Electors, our mutual
interests are those OF the country and
OF the republic. 1t does not suffice to
love both. You must know also how to
protect and defend them. Without
thought OF provocation, together we will
devote ourselves to this great task.
Without allowing ourselves to he
thwarted by cslumnies, We Will labor to
make tine republic respected and indie

BOTTOM DROPS OUT.
AN ACCIDENT TO THE RESERVOIR AT
ROANOKE.
Engineers Say Regarding the
Matter.
Special telegram to the pI.patch.l

ROANOKE, Va, April Leone OF the
most remarkable occurrences that ever
happened in this county was the falling
in of the bottom of the south basin Of
the new reservoir just completed on
Mill mountain. about one mile and n
half south OF this city. The reservoir
had just been completed at a cost Of
$50, 600, and was regarded by engineers
and all who saw it as model work OF
the kind-nearly as strong and durable
as the mountain upon which it was
built. Its capacity was nearly 1900, 600
gallons OF water, with which it was sup
Piled from mammoth spring gushing
from the side Of the mountain. On oatur-
day evening it had fourteen feet of water
IN both basins, with the pumps working
finely. Sunday morning about 8 o'clock
it was discovered that 500 cubic yards Of
the bottom had dropped into an enor-
nous cavern, which in this way was dis
covered to be beneath the mountain.
This changed the color of the spring
from crystal TO chrome yellow, which
change was the first indication to the
people of this city of the disaster. Large
crowds visited the water-works yesterday
and to-day, among whom we're a number
of engineers. All agree that the charac-
ter of the foundation as exposed by the
cave showed dirt for a depth of fifteen
feet below the bottom. 1t was Of the
most substantial character. The disaster
is regarded as a visitation of Providence,
and no one blames the engineers in
charge of the construction.

direct from an infected port. On the
arrival Of the Parthia, however, the
