A Place for stonewairs Widow.

Postmaster-G General Wanamaker seems
determined that Mrs. Stonewall jackson
shall hold an office. He appointed her
postmistress at the little town Of Lexing-
ton, where her husband was president of a
college before the outbreak OF the rebellion.
Her salary here would have been about
5000 year, but she declined the appoint
ment, and now the Richmond postofllce,
which pays $1,000, has been rendered her.
She has the offer under consideration,
much TO the astonishment and disgust OF
the Virginia politicians. The Richmond
postoffice is one OF the hest places In the
State, and there were number OF Republi-
can candidates for the appointment.
Among others was Mrs. Lizzie yanew,
who held the Office during the two
terms OF General Grants Administra-
ton. Mrs. Vanlew is native OF Rich
mond, and was Unionist during the war
She not only spent her money and her time
relieving the distress OF Union officers who
were prisoners at Libbey aud Belllste, but
her house was the headquarters for Union
spies, and It was through her that General
Grant gained most OF his information as to
what was going on at the rebel head
quarters. AS a reward for these services,
when he got into the White House he ap-
pointed her postmistress at Richmond, and
an attempt was made to keep her In during
the administration of Hayes, but the poll
ticians were too much for her, and she had
TO go. Now she wants the Office back
again, and is very much distressed at hay
ing II rendered TO the widow OF rebel Gen
eral, who was not even 'candidate,--[N.

CONGRESS OF AMERICAN NATIONS

The Congress of American Nations
TO be held in this city next autumn
promises to be gathering the proceed
ings of which will be of the greatest
importance. 1t should not be politi-
cal gathering, and Is not likely to be
such, but semi political questions will
come before II. 1t is to be hoped that
all such issues will be treated in bust
ness.like way, without prejudice or re-
gard for political legends.
II is to be regretted that the com
plexion of delegates TO the Congress
has already been made subject of dis
oussion. They should have no com
plexion as yet save that of being men
of broad views and good business judg-
ment Their opinions must be largely
formed after the Congress meets and
discussion has been had upon trade
questions Of international importance.

The Charleston's Trial Trip.

Chief Engineer Melville is of opinion that
the cruiser Charleston will succeed in making
the necessary 7,O0O-horse power in another
trial. 1t appears that the trouble with the port
engine was located in the cross-head guide
which had been the only faulty spot shown in
the trip from San Francisco When the fault
was developed recourse was had to the device
of placing a SHIN or thin wedge OF metal be-
tween the troublesome points, and this expe-
dent was probably not sufficient to meet the
case. The trouble is not serious and can be
remedied aboard ship, if, indeed, il
has not been already done. The fact that
the boilers made steam so rapidly that
they were blowing of during the trial
is regarded by the engineers as promising the
realization OF the horsepower requirement
when the defect in the port engine is corrected
and the steam can all be used. Increased
speed is looked for upon the next trial, be-
cause the coal is being used up rapidly and the
vessel is being ightened The contract re-
quires the vessel to show 1000 horse power, in
order that the builders may secure the full
contract price. She may be accepted if she
makes 5000 horsepower, but any deficiency
below 1000 will subject the contractors to 8
penalty of 300 for each horse power lacking
To succeed fnlly, the vessel must develop l,50(
horsepower more than she did Saturday

AN EDITOR SHOT.
His Brother-in-Law Mistakes Him for
a Burglar.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 13.-Jas. B. Smith,
local editor Of the Republican, was shot and in
stantly killed this morning by his brother-in-
law, who mistook him for a burglar. In the
absence of Mr.. Smiths father-in-law, Warrent
F. Sturtevant, who is at the Rangeley lakes on
fishing trip, Mr.. Smith, his wife, and infant
daughter were spending a few days in Mr..
Smiths old home. Early this morning bur-
glars entered Mr. Sturtevants house and young
Sturtevant was aroused from a sound sleep by
the servants, who had been awakened by the
noise made by the burglars. He looked out of
the window and saw a man in the yard, and,
seizing his gun, went into the hall. In the
meantime Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were aroused
and had stepped out of their room into the
hall. Young Sturtevant, not knowing that his
brother-in-law was in the house, and suppos-
ing himself the only man there, at once fred.
Mr.. Smith fell dead by the side Of his wife.
Mr.. Smith had slept in his own house until last
night on account of the lateness of his hours,
but he was of duty last night, though his
brother-in-law did not know it. Mr.. Smith
was young man of good ability and high
character. His brother-in-law is a young man
OF twenty-five and is simply overwhelmed by
the terrible tragedy.

THE COMPANY CENsURED.
Held Responsible for the Death Of Ten
Men by an Explosion.

louisville, Pa, May 13.-The coroner's Jury
in the case Of the ten men who were killed on
Thursday evening in the shaft of the Ksska
William colliery at Big Vein, has rendered a
verdict censuring the Alliance coal and mining
company for its neglect to have safety gates
in compliance with the mining law of 1885.
Safety gates would have covered all ap-
proaches to the shaft and consist Of an afI-
around fence attached to a platform, which
covers the mouth of the shaft. When the cage
comes to the top it raises this platform and the
gates, and when il descends the gates or fence
and platform resume their relative positions
Had these gates or fence been in position it
would have been impossible for the Hungarian
decker to have pushed the car into the shaft
upon the ascending cage. Even had the car
broken the gates, the platform would have pre-
vented it from falling into the shaft

THE IRRELEVANT CLAIM.
A Celebrated Case Decided in Favor Of
the State Of Georgia.

From the Macon Telegraph, Mays
Our dispatches yesterday announced that the
Court of Claims at Washington had given judg-
ment in favor OF the state of Georgia for
$50, sos in its suit against the United States to
recover money advanced for the common de-
Tense during the Revolutionary war
During the war Of independence Peter Trez p
want made liberal advances Of money and sup
plies for the necessities of Georgia troops in
the colonial army. After the end of the war
and the formation Of the Union claim for the
reimbursement of Peter Irrelevant was filed,
but II was not until 1S48 that Georgia paid this
just debt. The money had not been expended
for the benefit Of the state, but had been con-
tributed TO the cause in which all the colonies
were engaged, and Georgia, therefore, had a
good claim against the United States. In 1858,
Mr.. James A. Green, Of Milledgeville, was
authorized to prosecute this claim against the
Federal government for a fee Of Is per cent
contingent on recovery. The matter was
brought to the attention of Congress be-
on It, Several years elapsed after the war
before the claim was pressed again. After
various Intellectual efforts a bill was passed in
1882 authorizing the payment Of the claim. II
was approved by President Arthur, but the
payment of the money to the state was pre-
vented by Judge Lawrence, first controller
OF the Treasury. who decided that the amount
| should be credited to Georgia In part payment
OF the taxes which are charged against this
state under the direct tax act of 1861. This
decision left the case in peculiar condition.
An act had been approved ordering the pay
ment OF the claim and appropriating money
Tor that purpose, but 1t was locked up by the
adverse decision Of the first controller
Judge Durham, who succeeded Judge Law.
renee in the Office, refused to reverse the de.
cision OF his predecessor, and the prospect Of
recovering the money seemed rather slim. Al
last resort suit was begun in the Court OF
Claims, and the result 10 decision that The
money should be paid to Georgia, notvith
standing the direct tax charged aesinst o.
ttate. 1t was argued before Judge Lawrence
that this direct tax was levied on the lands q,
he citizen and not on the state, and Therefore
could not be set OF against claim of the state
but he would not admit the force of that areu
ment. The suit was for the principal only. ths

Perhaps the ''Siissipg Link'' Has Been
Found

buffalo, n. Y, May 15.-On White Island, a
suburb Of Tonawands, men engaged in exca-
waiting cellar on Saturday dug up eleven very
peculiar skeletons. The beings to whom the
skull belonged could not have differed greatly
from an ape either in appearance or intellect
The accompanying thigh bones were abnorm-
ally long and very slender and there are
thirteen ribs on side. The shoulder blades
are entirely lacking. Many members of the
Buffalo Academy of Natural Sciences think that
