The st. Louis Globe, Democratic WASH
ington correspondent relates the follow
ing; One OF the Texas statesmen now in
the city has just hsd an interview with
the Postmaster general, sons OF. the fea-
lures Of which were extraordinary. 1t APP
pearR that the Texan wanted change in
one Of the Presidential pest Offices in his
state, and was endeavoriDg to secure Mr..
Wanamaker'a recommendation to that
effect. The term had not yet expired,
however, and the Postnaster-eeneral de-
clined to make the change. The Texan
showed that the present incumbent of the
post office ia question was an offensive
partisan of the worst character, and that
Democratio as well as Republican pa
trons Joined in the request for an imme-
diRte change.
Mr.. Wanamaker was absolute in his
refusal, and finally explained TINT q
friend of his, the Rev. So.and So, had
requested the continuance of the present
postmaster in Office until the end Of the
term. The Texan grew furious at this
interference of the clergy, and expostu-
lated, but all to no purpose.
II oan do nothing now" said Mr..
Wanamsker, s'for I have assured the
Rey. So-and-So that no change will be
/ made"
"But, my God, Mr.. Wansmaker," ex-
claimed the Lone Star statesman, with
petulancs, "what has this pulpit FOUNDER
got to do with it ?"
Postmaster. general Wanamaksr was
shocked. It was evident that he wa;
painfully shocked. After fully recover.
\ ing his breath ne said, in the mildesl
/ possible manner;
my dear sir, you must not swear; it i,
wrong, it is wicked, it is ungentlemanly
You must not swear in my presence"
| The Texan wilted, and in apolcgetit
! profusion he said:
Il beg your pardon, Mr.. Wananaker
but that was not profanity; tried not t.
swear; merely
"Oh, yes, you did," interrupted tht
Postmester-genersl and Sunday sehoo
superintendent; ''you said My God,
and that's taking the name Of our Lord il
vain. You know the good book tells ui
that it is wicked to use the name OF thu
Lord in any spirit bat that Of reverence
and devotion" and then Mr.. Wanna
maker entered into long and Games
lecture on the subject OF profanity II
general and the Texans offence in par
ticular.
When Mr.. Wanamsker had finished TIL
Texss statesman, in solemn silence, tool
his hat aud walked out. The lecture Wa
lost upon him. however, for when h
found himself in the halt outside he brok

Engineer Andrew Qoinn OF the Philadel-
phia b Reading railroad Thursday recov-
erred verdict OF $4,000 damages against
Residing Railroad Company for the loss Of
q leg In the Philadelphia courts. Ha was
engineer OF train which had been ordered
to stop on siding and allow traine nos. 10
and IA TO pass him. He stopped as directed.
Train No. 10 passed him and Quinn got
down to oil his engine. While doing go u
pay car with engine OF which he had had
no notice came along, struck him on the
hip and 80 injured him that amputation OF
the ley became necessary. He commended
that the company was guilty Of negligence
In not notifying him OF the trip OF the
pay car. The cumpany commended that he
had been told to wait for trains 10 and
IA. They could send other trains between
these two without notice. An appeal will
no doubt be taken by the railroad com.
pany.
In Common Pleas No. Philadelphia a
still heavier verdict was given against the
Pennsylvania railroad In .he case of Henry
Specht. The latter was driving across the
tracks OF the Pennsylvania Company at

thar due warning had been given by bell
and whistle, and that the defendant had
failed to stop, look and llsten," but the
jury, nevertheless, gave him verdict for
$40, Uo0. tits not eypectad TO stand, because
OF supreme court decisions that failure to
''stop, lock and listen" Is fatal to claim
