A GOOD IMPRESSION
Is What General Noble Makes upon the
Employees of the Interior Department.

The routine of the reception which General
Noble, the Secretary of the Interior, continues
to hold was broken to-day, rather. the seat
of operations was changed, as he went to the
pension Office and was introduced to the fifteen
hundred employees He makes very good
impression on everybody whom he meets. He
has kindly face and courteous manner. and
is disposed to hear everything visitor wishes
to say. The line of callers becomes, therefore,
a rather slow one, and his waiting room is
generally crowded. He has had no time during
the day to attend to department business, but
he is getting ready to make some appoint
ments, which will be announced in a day or
two. The large number of important bureaus
in the Interior department offer some attractive
places to office-seekers, and Secretary Noble
has been interviewed exhaustively by the cam
didates and their friends.
The head of the general land Office is an Office
of considerable Importance, and there is a
small army of applicants. Gen. Stone, Of
Iowa, and ex-senator Chilcott of Colorado, are
among those mentioned for the place.
Gen. Longstreet called to-day to pay his re-
spects to the Secretary, among other matters,
and ex-senator Henderson was another caller.
strong effort is being made for the reten-
tion of Indian Commissioner Oberly. The In
dian Rights association. the Quakers and others

PrTTsBURe. March S.-A Tifin, Ohio, special
to the Chronicle Telegraph says: The town of
Fostoria, Ohio, IA miles west of here, is torn
up over a terrible tragedy which occurred last
night. For some time Vim. Gessler, Of that
place, has been working at a glass factory in
Findlay. Last night he appeared at Fostoria
and. accompanied by his brother-in-law, went
to the home of his wifes parents, where his wife
had been living during his absence. The wife
was called to the door by Gessler. The brother
in-law, who was standing in the background,
heard Gessler ask his wife n question which he
could not understand, and she answered NO"
and, quick as a fash. Gessler drew a revolver
and shot her, the ball entering the hip. She
turned and staggered into the house, when ne
shot her in the neck. and she fell dying on the
floor. Gessler then placed the revolver against
his neck and fred, the ball passing through the
neck, killing him instantly. IL was all done so
quickly that nobody could interfere. The cause
Of the deed is as yet unknown, though il was
supposed to be jealousy.

A Conference Trunk.


A MYSTERIOUS HOLE II TIE TOP AND BOTTOM
OF 1T.
Bishop s. NJ Merville, OF Chicago, presided
yesterday, at the Washington conferenc Of the
methodist Episcopal Church (colored) now be-
ing held at Parkersburg, W. Va, and the Rev.
L. w. s. Peck, of Baltimore, was reelected Sec
retary. The Rev. j. l. Thomas, of Washington,
was chosen statistical secretary. The duties Of
the secretaries Of the various conference de-
partments excited heated discussion, owing
TO the alleged fact that moneys deposited in
what is called the conference trunk" a re-
ceptacle for contributions to the various
church and charitable departments, had not
been strictly and correctly accounted for.
There has been considerable Misunderstanding
relative TO the disposition of these moneys.
The Rev. A. Reed said that there had slwavs
been hole in the bottom and top of that
trunk" The Rev. r. s. Smith was also Of the
opinion that money was put in the trunk and
somebody took il out and did not report the
fact" The trunk arrangement was very unsat-
isfactory, owing, doubtless, more toa misunder-
standing of the duties of the various financial
officers than TO anything else. No imputation
was implied by the warm arguments, but the
ministers complained that the various depart
ments were not properly managed In their re-
lation 10 the financial end Of the conference,
The trouble was settled in satisfactory man
ner by the passage Of q resolution that all
moneys excepting those 10 be applied 10 the re-
lief Of the superannuated minister's be paid 70
the treasurer and receipted for by him.

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
The Body of Peter Hawkins, Who Has
Been Missing Since January.

This morning the decomposed body of a
middle-aged colored man was found floating
in the river at the foot of 9Th street. The
body was discovered by a man named Albert
Luckett, who at once notified the police. The
fourth precinct patrol wagon was sent after
the body, which, when taken from
the water, looked as if the man was
drowned some weeks ago. The body
was removed to the morgue, where
it will be examined by the coroner. This after
noon the body was identified as being that of
Peter Hawkins, who has been missing from his
home, No. 1922 Sd street southwest, since JAN
uary 10. Hawkins sometimes worked about
the wharves. and it is thought that he acci-
dentally fell overheard at night and was
drowned without any one hearing his cries. 1t
is also possible that he was thrown overheard,
but that is not likely. because it is not probable
that he had anything to get robbed of, and he
was always peaceable, and was never known to
provoke a fight.
