THE CHANGE OF COMMISSIONERS,
May Necessitate a Brief Delay In Max.
ing Payments.

The appointment Of Commissioners in the
letter part Of the month Seems likely to cause
embarrassment and delay in the settlement of
District accounts. As soon as the incoming
Commissioners qualify il will be neces-
sary to suspend payments, and cover
back into the treasury all the money
now on hand It will require at least
two weeks to make up the accounts in order to
ascertain exactly what balances will be re-
quired to be paid iuto the Treasury.
but this must be done before any advances
will be made to the new Commissioners. Ii
is usual to draw the checks for payment Of
teachers, police and fire department and other
employees about the 25th, and to pay OF on the
2sth OF each month. As the matter stands now,
however, the old accounts will not be closed
before the first Of June, and then four
or five days will be required to get requisi-
tions honored TO make payment. II the APP
pointments had been made to take effect about
the 26th Of the month, this difficulty might
have been obviated, and could now if the new
Commissioners do not qualify until that date
Just what will be done is not known, but the
clerks are little uneasy, as many Of them are
short In their bank accounts.

AN Ex-POsTMAsTER.s TRICK.
He Pocketed the Commission and Let
tiers Of His Successor.

MDpLErowS, N. Y, May 1s.-A remarkable
case in connection with the post-ofice at
Cochecton, Sullivan county, has been unearthed.
Henry Winters was the postmaster, and in
March last, soon after Postmaster-Gene
Wanamaker assumed his duties. Henry Inder-
lied was appointed to supersede Winter. The
usual blank bond was mailed from Washington
to Mr.. Ipderlied. The bond was executed
and remailed at Cochecton, but never reached
the Post-Ofice department.. Correspondence
from Congressman Stivers. Of this city, also
failed to reach Mr.. Inderlied Suspicion arose
that Winters was suppressing letters from
Washington and Congressman Stivers; also
those sent by the new appointee. 1t was only
by the use of plain envelopes addressed in dis
guised hand to other parties that Mr. Inderlied
could obtain any information, and his second
bond was mailed at another post-office some
miles from Cochecton. His commission as
postmaster was mailed from Washington on
the 8th inst, but he did not receive it until
yesterday.
Special Agent Stewart, Of the post-office in
spectors' department, appeared on the scene
and Winters soon wilted. In the latters pock-
cts were found Mr.. Indereds commission and
letters from Congressman Stivers and the Post
Office department, all addressed to Inderlied.
Inspector Stewart took charge Of the pocketed
mail. Mr.. Inderlied was put in charge of the
post-effice at once, and Winters was taken to
New York by the inspector last night, the new
postmaster accompanying them.

Mrs. Aliens Funeral.

The funeral of Mrs. Allen will take place
Monday at o'clock, and the remains will be
buried in the Congressional cemetery, The
teachers of the fourth school division will
meet at the Jefferson building at $50 this
afternoon at the call of Mr.. Fairbrother, the
supervising principal, to take action regarding
the funeral and give expression to their senti-
ments. By order of Superintendent Powell
the schools Of the fourth division will be closed
Monday, the day of the funeral.
THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL
have been left largely in the hands of Miss
Hannah NJ. Tunnell school teacher, who was
one of Mrs. Aliens intimate friends. Mrs.
Allen left letter in charge of Miss
Tunnel and another with a cousin, to
be opened after her death, which gave
directions about the funeral. These letters
were written four years ago. Among the
directions left with Miss Tunnel was one to
purchase for Mrs. Aliens husband a suit Of
clothes in which to attend the funeral Allen
by his own act has made this expenditure, SO
thoughtfully and affectionately provided for,
by the ill-used wife, unnecessary.
A little before Mrs. Allen died Rev. Mr..
Meador, who had been summoned, appeared.
and kneeling in the room with the teachers
present, offered a fervent prayer for the dying
woman.

From Wall Street To-day.

NEW York, May Is, IL a. H. The stock mar
ket opened with moderate volume of business
this morning, and first prices were generally
steady as compared with last evenings figures.
though Oregon Transcontinental was up Is.
The squeeze of the shorts in that stock still
kept the chief interest in the trading conferred
in il, and Immediately after the opening it be-
gan to rise rapidly and touched IS, an advance
of 20 per cent from its last evenings price.
From this point there a recession which
was even more rapid than the advance and 80
was reached on the back track in less than ten
minutes. The general list was strong in SYM
patty during the early trading, and the western
stocks which, with Reading, Northern Pacific
preferred, and New England, displayed some
activity, made material advances, Atchison and
Burlington rising q each, and Union Pacific q.
The others, however, showed but slight changes
and when Transcontinental reacted the entire
list moved of again. At IL o'clock the market
was fairly active and rather heavy, but gener-
ally at small fractions better than the opening
figures.

STRIKES IN EUROPE.
English and Welsh Coal Mines will
Suffer as well as those I'm Germany.

LONDON, May 1S.-Strikes Of a most deter
mined character are imminent in the
English and Welsh coal mining districts
and In Belgium in consequence Of the
labor disturbances in Germany. ANY reports
OF the cessation Of the latter cannot be de-
pended upon, the reports to that effect pub
lished by the German press having been die
tated by the authorities, and, to speak in the
mlldest form, are premature. As soon as the
supply from the native mines was cut off. coal
was hurried to Essen and other points from
belgium and great quantity OF English des-
tined to cities in France was shunted to Ger
man lines.
SCARCITY OF GAS COAL IS FEARED
in Paris, catastrophe the importance of which
may be imagined, considering merely how
ruinous any interruption Of the lighting ar
rangements would prove to the exposition.
Delegates representing the German strikers
fastened to England and laid the matter before
the Miners uaion, and the latter will require
guaranty from their employers that no coal ex.
ported ostensibly for French consumption shall
be sent to Germany until the strike there shall
have ceased.
If change now being made by the English
military authorities is carried out there will be
SOMETHING AKIN TO REVOLT
in the most aristocratic arm Of the service. It
is in contemplation to transfer the cavalry
training school from Aldershot to the Curragh
of Kildare, much better place, allowing ia
cilities for maneuvering large bodies of horse,
which are totally wanting at Aldershot.
The grievances Of the officers have been many
Of late years. Up to within quarter of a CEN
fury both wealth and pedigree were necessary
in an aspirant for a commission in a crack cav
airy regiment, and the swells of that exclusive
branch flattered themselves that though the
line might be contaminated by the sons of vul-
gar tradesmen, they mad influence enough to
preserve themselves from.
CONTACT WITH stoH INFERIOR BEINGS.
But some plebians have lately invaded even
the cavalry, and it is possible that the crown
ing indignity may be inflicted upon them of
transferring them to Ireland.
At Aldershot they conld spend two or three
days of the week in London and still attend
to their nominal duties, but if they are
exiled to the Curragh, the channel will sadly
interfere with such relief from their arduous
tolls. The duke of Cambridge and the Prince
Of Wales have been frantically appealed to by
many officers in ''The Set" of the latter, and it
is hoped that the scheme of the cold-blooded
authorities may be rendered abortive, and the
country saved from the threatened resignation
of many of its most conspicuous ornaments.

SENSATIONAL TRADING.
The Corner in Oregon Transcontinental
Still UnbrOken.

New YORK, May 18.-Although the stock ex-
change was open only two hours to-day, those
hours were sensational enough to satisfy every
broker on the floor. The corner in Oregon
Transcontinental was still in force and in the
first the stock moved up 20 per cent to S.
There was flood of stock offered at that figure
and the stock dropped per cent at a time to
40.
II later sold at 80. but there was demand
quickly moved back to AZ, and at the close sold
at AZ. The unlooked-for discovery of
the short interests in Oregon Trans
continental make the brokers anxious
about their short accounts in other stocks and
fears were everywhere expressed that the entire
market was heavily oversold. The feeling was
increased by the course of st. Paul preferred,
which advanced 5per cent on an attempt to
cover some short stock. The buying fever
extended to Atchison, and orders to cover
shorts IN that stock caused it to advance
sharply.
Burlington moved up per cent and Rock
Island followed. The entire bear contingent
left the street anxious about the future and
they wait for Mondays opening with fear and
trembling.
WILLARD CLAIMS SUCCESS.
At Mr.. Wizards Office everything appeared to
be quiet and in marked contrast to the excite
ment at the stock exchange. Mr.. Villard was not
down and was apparently ignorant of all that
was going on. His private secretary received
all callers affably and explained that the ex-
element in the street was an outside matter
with which Mr.. Willard had nothing to do
He said that the fight for the
control of the stock at the election
is over, and that Mr.. Willard has POI, 700
shares out of the total of 400, 900. He added
that there will be nothing new in the affairs of
the company until the election at Portland
Oregon, in June.
The other party to which belong Elijah
Smith, Sidney Dillon, Frederick L. Ames, and
other wellknown men claim they hold ma
jority of the stock, and that Mr.. Willard
cannot possibly vote l,700 shares,
unless he has issued some of the re-
naming $4,000 of the treasury
stock in spite of the injunction that was issued
restraining such proceeding. The opposition
issued joint call for proxies this morning, and
stated their policy to be in favor of an AMIGA
BILE arrangement with the Northern Pacific, the
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba and the
Union Pacific, including its connecting line;
the Oregon railway and navigation company.
The call for proxies is signed by Frederick l..
Ames, Sidney Dillon, Elijah Smith, John Ii.
Hall, and Samuel Thomas.
