FOSTER'a BREEZY STYLE
Is MAKING Hrxaa POPULAR SECRETARY
OF THE TREASURY.

He Is a Hard Worker, but Everyone Has
Easy Access to Him-Western Flavor
About the Department-Making Light
of a Superstition.
ESPECIAL TEL EGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Secretary
Foster is something of novelty in the way
of a Cabinet officer. His breezy, open
handed Western style of doing business is
so totally different from the ways of the
average Cabinet Minister that it attracts
general attention. Although at the head Of
one of the greatest departments of the
Government, Mr.. Foster is almost as ac-
cessible to persons who have business with
him as one of the chiefs of the bureau down
stairs. The Secretary is hard worker. as
one must be who conducts the affairs of the
Treasury Department. He walks across
from the Arlington Hotel to his Office every
morning before o'clock, and rarely goes
back until 6, and during that time he works
like beaver If anyone has business with
him he sends his card, and generally is ad-
mitted moment sfterward.
After the regular office hours of the day
are over, the Secretary consults the bureau
chiefs and signs the great mass of mail that
smokes while performing this task. and
chats with the people about the desk in the
most careless fashion, apparently, but rarely
missing a word that is said, and giving his
orders in brief and decisive language.
Newspaper correspondents who have occa-
sion to see the Secretary are rarely COM
pelled to wait in the ante-room. They
simply walk in, make known their business
and receive pleasant. business-like replies
This style of doing things is very refresh
ing, and if the Secretary continues it he
will become very popular man.
He has started in to give his personal at
tentIon to the business which properly be-
longs to him and dispose OF it carefully and
Systematically. To do it he must work
hard, but he is used to hard work, as he has
been at 1t all his life. That there is to be a
decidedly Western flavor about the person.
mel and management of the Treasury De.
partment is evidenced by the fact that the
first appointment made by the Secretury is
that of ex-Representative Grouse, of Ne
brasks, TO 6il the Assistant Secretaryshlp,
which has been vacant since General
Bachelor went to Egypt. Very few peo-
pie know who Mr.. Grouse is, or remember
ANYTHING about him. Secretary Foster,
however, served with him in Congress and
knows that he is a good man. Therefore he
appointed him.
The Secretary is living in bachelor quar-
ters at present. but he has taken lease of
tine big double house, on Vermont avenue,
which Senator Payne has occupied during
his residence in Washington, and will
bring his family here in the fall and move
into it. The Secretary makes light of the
superstition INDUCED in by many people
that the office of Secretary Of the Treasury
is a dangerous one. because Secretaries
Folger, Manning and Window have died
while holding it.

Two Naval Officials Badly Injured by the
Escaping Steam.
WASHINGTON, april ia leak be-
came apparent yesterday in the steam pipe
which conveys power to the proiectile shop
in the navy yard. In making repairs
Lieutenant Commander Pendleton and John
c. Harderster, among others, were standing
on the great brick fue. A minute later
and Lieutenant Commander Pendleton
was unconscious on top of the fue,
and John c. Hardester was bruised,
bleeding and senseless on the ground.
The others were unhurt. There had been no
warning. just a momentary hiss, then an
explosion that was noisy enough to threaten
the safety of the building, followed by a
deafening roar as steam under pressure of
s. pounds to the square inch poured out of
a 14-inch pipe.
Commander Pendleton suffered a severe
scalding on the right side OF the face, and
especially in the region of the right eve.
Mr.. Hardester's scalp was badly torn, and
there was conclusion of the brain, while his
right arm was seriously fractured.

AN OLD TROUBLE RENEWED.



There was hearing before the Depart
ment of Elections last night week ofcharges
preferred by some Republican politicians
against Frank d. Carpenter, chairman of
the board of registration officers in the
Sixth district, Fifth ward. This is a part
of what is known as the Twelfth district
for general elections, where the famous
Cotton cases originated at the
election last fall, and where, IL is
charged, a large number of negroes
voted on fraudulent tax receipts The
charge against Carpenter was that of
wrongfully holding on TO the tax receipts
of Joseph Slaughter, colored, and Lewis
b, Morrow, when they presented them
selves for registration.
Mr.. Carpenter said that when Slaughter
came to register, last Saturday, he pre-
George W. Mckee, collector of the
Southern district. Mr.. Carpenter, who was
a Judge of the election last fall remem-
bered that on that occasion Slaughter voted
on a John T. Dickey tax receipt, dated
1850, of which it was charged that large
number had been forged and used by col
ored voters in the upper wards His sus-
picions were therefore aroused, and he de
cided to hold Slaughters receipt for inves-
tigation, promising him that If it turned
out to be straight IL would be returned to
him.
A lively scene then ensued in the regis
traton room. Charles II. Thomas, the
Republican member of the board, de-
manded to see the receipt and Mr.. Car
penter said he could have it il he would
promise to return il. Mr.. Thomas would not
promise and Mr.. Carpenter refused to sur
render the receipt. Then MIR. Thomas
threatened to thrash MIR. Carpenter and
the latter told him to pitch in. MIR.
Thomas then left the room for n few min
utes, and on his return said if Carpenter
did not give him the receipt he would take
it from him. Mr., Carpenter deiied him to
attempt it and after few more words the
combat subsidized, Afterwards Fred. Bach
and several other Republican politicians
came ont and mouthed about the matter,
but Carpenter was ubdurate and held on
TO the receipt. No other negroes presented
suspicious tax receipts that day.
Mr.. Morrows receipt, which Mr. Car
penter also retained,was southern district
one, us he was a resident of that district at
the time, but he now lives in the Northern
district. On Monday Mr. Carpenter re-
turned the receipt to Mr.. Morrow
The case was fully heard and argued
before the Department of Elections last
night week, and Nj Carpenter was assured
that the department,wouldu uphold him in
every legitimate action.
Mr.. Carpenter is of the opinion that the
move against him is made by a lot Of Re
publican politicians because he knows the
Illegal negro voters of the district and will
not permit them TO register. by getting
HIM out and new man, not so well ac-
quainted, in his place, they hope to get
these illegal voters OH the lists.

LYNoH Law FOILED.
But the Militia Was Necessary to Keep
the Outraged Citizens mt Bay,


DECATUR, IND, May 25.--Lige Hol-
land and Andrew Pickern and their
wives, tho four colored prisoners who
are in jail here in connection with the
death of Miss Reynolds, were captured
by a Wiltshire man early yesterday
morning. Reliable information has been
received that 100 Wiltshire county citi-
zens were organizing into q mob with
the determination of going to Decatur
about 2 o'clock in the morning and
hanging the negro prisoners. Before
midnight, however and before starting,
they heard from their spies, who had
been here in the afternoon, that the
sheriff of this county had the governor
order out the militia to guard the Jail
and that the citizens ould not tolerate
violence, This news carried back by
the spies apparently had the effect Of
dispensing the attempted lynchers.
George Uptegraph, the alleged be-
trayer of Miss Reynolds, who was ar.
rested at Delphi has been taken to Lima,
Ohio, and jailed there lest he might be
mobbed. The feeling against the prisoner
Is intense and excitement never ran
higher in this part of the country. The
trial will not occur until August and
the officers are dreading the trouble
which will be caused by guarding the
jail until that time. Sheriff Mcconnell
proposes 10 remove the prisoner TO a
county Jail 10 which the threatening
mob will not have such easy access as
here.

SOFT-SHELL CRIBS.
Remarkable Abundance and Good Times
mt Crisnrid

CRIsFIELp, Mn, May 2i.-The grabbing
season has opened with remarkable success
There have been more soft crabs caught
within the last two weeks than was ever
known before in the history of the in
dustry. At least 600 people are employed
in catching crabs and all of them are real
izing a good comfortable living. The
people employed IN this business are, with
ont doubt, the most independent, and
there is no reason why they should not be
the most coniented, They are their own
bosses, to work when they please. They
have no reason for anxiety in regard to
finding n sale for all they catch. The aver
age time employed per day will not exceed
Sin hours, leaving the remainder of the day
to rest or to he spent in any manner they
choose. There was some discussion some
time ago in regard to the use of scrapes for
the catching of crabs as To whether or not
it would eventually break their business
up, There is NJ doubt that the use of the
scrape enables the fishermen to catch the
crabs at such an early season and at such
rate that IT does not allow them time to
grow large The markets have been flooded
with small crabs all this season. and prices
are very low, II would, no doubt, be much
better for both the catcher and packer If
crabs we're more scarce Just for short
time, so as TO drain the markets. This
would raise the price and result advantage
ously to all directly interested in the bust
ness. Hard crabs are very scarce; so few
We're never known to be caught before
Heretofore there have been any quantities
Of them. Very few people are engaged in
hard-erabbing, because the demand for
them is nothing compared to the demand
for soft crabs.
The steamer Fishhawk, employed in the
service of the United States fish com
