WASHINGTON, April 24.-The West
Virginians who are in town to-day, with
the exception of Senator WOrley, have con-
cluded to remain in the city. They had
about made up their minds TO leave for
home, when in some mysterious way and
for some mysterious reason they all unani-
mOusly resolved to stay. 1t is likely that
General Gotf and Mr.. Atkinson will be
here this week, and this may be the cause
OF the activity and hustling on their part
and their determination to remain.
The Postmaster General so far has re-
fused to examine the charges preferred
egAiDst Postmaster Simpson. 1t is likely,
though, that upon the arrival of Gen. Goff
the matter may he taken up and pressed
to a finish. 1t is not likely that there will
be a change made in any Presidential post
office in West Virginia unless charges can
be made ard sustained against the present
incumbent. This seems 10 be the prevail
ing sentiment, snd it is more than likely
Mr.. Simpson will serve his fall term.
There is nothing new in the political
situation here 90 far as West Virginia ap-
plicants for Office are concerned. Every
thing is st n stand still and everybody is
waiting for Gen. GOff to come and say
what shall be done and how it shall be
done.

to succeed Col Tingle as superin-
tendent OF the seal fisheries, as announced
in the REGISTER several days sgo, was
qualified and took the oath to-day, and is

A Remarkable State of Affairs at the City
Hall

A Remarkable State of Affairs at the City
Hall.
There was q very remarkable case at the
City Hall, yesterday morning, which fur
nished food for gossip for the officials dur
ing the remainder of the day.
AT comparatively early hour stranger
in the city, who is hardware dealer on.
at West Alexander, came into police head
quarters and made complaint TO Day Off
Ger Deku that be had been robbed of 500
by woman named Jennie Black, an in
mate OF Ida Robinson's house Of ill.fame.
He said he had spent the night in the
house, and that while he was asleep the
cash, which he said was in the form of two
ten-dOllar bills, had been taken. Night
Officer George Gaus went 10 the house, and
found Jennie Black asleep in bed.
He got her out and took her to
the City Hall. % the way some
money was seen in tho woman'e hand, and
ust as che reached the outside steps lead
ing to the Police Court corridor, she by a
swift movement crumple1 the bills up
and thrust them into her mouth. A few
moments later she gave gulp and gasp
and the money was g0ns down her throat
This was q new racket on the officers, and
they DIDN'T know exactly what to do.
After consultation Officer Deku went
into the cell and told go plausible a story
about the poisonous printing ink on green
backs that he scared the woman into a
sick spell, and she vomited freely. The
officer kept sharp look out for the two
KS, but they did not appear. This dodge
failing, physician was called in, but the
case seemed beyond his skill, and as the
stranger bad in the meantime left. the
woman was released, about half past two
o'clock, she still holding on to the money.

but no definite conclusion was reached.
Mr.. Hubbard, of C unset for Gen. Goff, in

the appearance of yellow fever at Sanford
from two sources. Yesterday from a spe-
cial agent who has been tTaversing the State
since the subsidence OF the plague of 1888,
and from DR.. X. P. Daniels, President of
the State Board of Health. This fact
shows that there will be TO attempt made
to conceal the presence of the disease, as
was done last year, and such being the
case the danger is largely reduced. The
fear and panic exacted by the knowledge
that the true condition of affairs is being
suppressed, do much more harm, in my
Judgment, that the fever itself"
