"A Sensation Caused by "a Shake up In the
Adams Express Company.

New YoRx, Oct. ID ohm Hocy, Prcsi-
dent Of the Adams Express Company,
has becu removed from his position as
President and trustee by the unanimous
vote Of lie full Board of Managers. Mr..
Hoey was charged with malfeasancc in
office. G. Spooncr, Vice President of the
companr, rendered his resignation, which
was accepted.
1t was during Mr.. Hoey's ahsence in
Europe that an investigation was made
which resulted in ne action taken to-day.
The Board sill he called together again
tomorrow, and tic question of filling the
vacancies will he discussed. When the
news reached up town tonight it created
profound sensation among those who
were partially familiar with tie affairs Of
the big express company.
The trouble which overlook Mr. l1oey
to-day was foreshadowed last spring, in
a suit brought by Henry c. Shnburne
against him. Clapp, Spooncr and Edward
A. TART were co-defendants. The action
was brought to recover sum Of money

admitted under oath that he had been a
party to II transaction by which a syndi-
cate of three men sold property which. had
cost them about $4,000 to VIM. B. Dias-
more, then the President of the Adams
Eexpress Company. For this $l30,oU0
worth they received from Diasmore, and
Dnsmore afterwards received from the
Adams Express Company the sum of$So0,-
600
For this property Hoey had not paid a
cent, but he accepted one quarter of the
profit they made, which profit amounted
to $4,000 His quarter WAS between
$4,000 and $lSO,000 The suit was APP
pealed. The plaintiff and defendants
were interested in the New York 4 Boston
Dispatch Company. It was the suit which
partly led to the investigation of Dir.
Hoey's official acts.

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST o,MAILEx.
Failure of tl.e attempt 10 Convict aim OF
Jury Bribery in New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, Oct. l5--Dominick
O'Malley, the detective in the Hennessy
murder trial, who, it was charged, bribed
the Jury and secured the acquitted Of the
Italians accused Of the assassination
Of the Chief Of Polcie has been discharged
on the indictments found against him for
bribery. The fact that The State had
been unable to make any case against him
caused a surprise indeed, for public opin-
ion had pronounced O'Malley guilty. he
was supposed to be a jury fixer. The
populace was even more bitter against
him than against the alleged assassins
confined in the prison. The committee OF
safety ordered him to leave town, but he
refused to do So After the lynchins at
the Parish prison the mob marched up
to O'Malley's Office to lynch him, but q
friend gave him timely warning, and he
escaped few minutes before the crowd
broke in. 1t was supposed that he had
left New Orleans for good.
To the surprise of all, and when the ex-
element had cooled down, O'Malley put
in his appearance. He had heard, he
said, that the Grand Jury had found an
indictment against him for bribery but
could not find him, and he had come for
ward voluntarily.

The democratic party. though never
within the last thirty years in full con-
troll Of the government, has at times
had some influence in the making and
application Of appropriations IL. has
always exerted is influence TO protect
the treasury, but there IS not a In
stance IN which the republican branch
o. congress has failed 70 add 70 the ap-
propriations made BY the democratic
branch; and even IL the democratic
party had been allowed 70 fix the
amounts 70 be appropriated. those
amounts would have been outrageously
large, because they would necessarily
have been large enough to defray the
expenses incurred under laws enacted
BY republican congresses, which laws
the democratic party has never had the
power to repeal.
II can hardly be that the expendi-
lures on account Of pensions will Be
greatly increased by legislation in the
future. though they will probably grow
considerably under the laws already
enacted. and IL the democratic party Is
given control of all departments Of the
government hereafter. il will cut down
the ordinary expenses and confine ap-
propositions to the legitimate purposes
Of the constitution, for IL will never
follow in the footsteps Of the billion
dollar congress: which solved the prob
lem Of the surplus by bringing the pub
lie treasury to the verge Of bankruptcy

paign obligations Of the republican
party. The democracy il for economy

way for fear he would hit them with
his big, thick cane as he passed Not
far from the battery his eyes alighted
on little pale-faced woman who was
walking towards him from an opposite
divection.
There was a baby, or rather girl,
for the little one was easily five years
OF age, in her arms. and she staggered
along under her heavy load with .
weary expression on her face.
The day was hot, and the perspira-
ton strcamed of her, while her slight
figure contrastcd strangely with the
size Of the weight she bore. though the
child. too. looked wan and had
pinched look about the face that pow
erty and privation alone could not
bring. lie noted these facts as ne
walked along. and by the time the
woman got up to him he was in pas
sion.
.Vhat do you mean. madam" he
said. ..by carrying about big girl like
that and killing yourself by It? Let
her walk by herself. Women are faI
too sacrificing for their children"
The woman halted as though shot
and staggered 10 a nearby railing fo'
support. Then she sat down on
stoop. while the old man prepared x
continue his TRADE.
She put up her hand bcseechingly-
Don't" she said. Don't. sir.

The transition from anger TO pity Il
the old mans face was wonderful 4
behold. He passed the back Of hi
hand across his eyes and then. In haste
he bcsought the woman's pardon.

an authority whose conservatism In
statement Is provcrbial. The expendi-
lures Of the government for the past
fiscal year were S3sS, 600. 900, and Of
this amount s7l.100.000 were paid in
interest on the psblic debt, premiums
on bonds and on account Of the ma
tional bank redemption fund. In 1880.
the net ordinary expenditures of the
government were SiC9. 900, 900. and in
1890 they were s201 ZOO. 900. During the
last fiscal year they reached the unpre-
ccdentcd sum Of S317. 5000 900. There
has been no unusual warrant for such
an increase, and the only explanation
that can he given for Il Is criminal cx-
travagancc. The most prominent fea-
turc Of this rccordris pensions, which
have more than doubled during the
past decade. The expenditures on this
account for the past year reached the
alarming figure Of s124. 400, 900. Ten
years ago. the pension appropriations
amounted to Ss0. 900, 900, and yet there

TEOs. JEFFERSON.

Thos. Jefferson, The gifted au-
thor Of the Declaration of indie
pendence, used to play on the
violin. This, and his endorse
ment Of the French Revolution,
gave great offense to the rigid
moralists of his time. One of
these, a good old Connecticut
elder, used publicly to pray
that the Lord would convert or
remove him. 1t did not matter
which. The old elder had the
Bronchitis, and it made him
gloomy and irritable. If he
had taken Reds German Cough
and Kidney Cure he would
have been relieved of his NAL
ady, and he would then have
better appreciated the virtues
Of the great American philoso-
pher. For nothing makes a
man take such dismal views of
life as to be constantly annoyed
by a hacking cough. Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure gives instant relief and is
perfectly harmless. 1t contains
