Members Of . Car Company Swear Out
Warrants for Each other.
PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-Architect
Josiah s., Briean. for whom a warrant
of arrese was issued by Magistrate Dew
lin several weeks ago, on a charge by
Manager Post OF the Tubular Car COM
pany of Braddock. Pa, of embezzlement
of stocks, ETC., amounting to $33, 900,
appeared before the magistrate today.
The prosecution failed to put in an ap-
pearance, and Briean was discharged.
Subsequent events show that the proba-
bilities are that if Manager Post had put
in an appearance, he would now be in
Jail. A detective was waiting for him
with warrant, calling for his arrest on
the charge OF. the embezzlement of $17,-
800. For nearly two weeks Briean and
Post had been giving out to the
public that each was on the still hunt
for the other. The warrant for Post was
issued on the oath of j. Gray, that Post,
as manager of the Steel Tubular Car
company, borrowed the above amount.
Since then. they learned that the
money was fraudulently obtained, hence
the suit. POSTS wereabouts is un-
known.

HALF-BREED CITIzENs.
A Remarkable Decision by the United
States Court.

A Remarkable Decision by the United
States Court. f
PIERRE, S. D., July considerable
comment has been aroused by the decis-
ion OF the United States court in regard
to the status of children born of Indian
women and white, or citizen, husbands.
The case was that of the United States
w. Ward. on the charge of selling liquor
to a half-breed. The evidence was
that the half-breed in question
had negro father, who was
citizen, and an Indian mother
The decision of the court is that chill
dren follow the status of their father,
and hence are citizens of the United
States, and amenable only to its laws.
If the decision holds good, it will effect
the ownership Of the greater part OF the
lands taken up in the vicinity OF Fort
Pierre and Stanley, across the river from
Pierre, as it is nearly all held by squaw
mems children or their wives.

: Let. Ta1k About the weather.

Every time the weather turns cooler very
suddenly, as it did recently in most parts
of the country, many declare that the mer-
curry took its biggest tumble then. It may,
therefore, be interesting to know that
the record of Jan. l. 1854, has not since
been equaled or even closely approached.
Over very large section of the Unit
ed States the mercury fell GO degs.
between 10 p. IN. of Dec 81 and 4
a. m. OF Jan. 1, and in few places
65 degs. A few persons reported fall of
70 degs in four hours, but private ther-
mometers varied then as now. 1t may as
sist the memory to note that the coolest
New Years in American history ushered
in the bloodiest year.

In the Matter of Precedent.

Mrs. j. r. Mckee and Mrs. Russell Har-
rison, daughter and daughter-in-law of the
president, are now in England and enjoy
ing themselves hugely by all accounts.
The American reader is inclined to smile
at the cablegram to the effect that our
diplomats abroad are greatly embarrassed,
as ''the case is unprecedented of ladies OF
official rank visiting the Old World alone, u
but in lands where precedent and official
etiquette are so important it is no laugh
ing matter The ladies will visit Paris
and Berlin also, and no matter what cere-
mony is observed there is, as Abraham
Lincoln used to say, "No doubt but we
shall be able to keep house."

POSTAL PROMOTIONS.
Postmaster-G General Wanamaker Holds
His First Examination.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The first COM
petitive examination for promotions in
the postoffice department, under the
postmaster-general's recent order, took
place today. The postmaster-genetal
was present at the examinations, and
made brief address to the clerks, in
which he spoke encouragingly of the
prospects opened up to the employees
of the department by the new departure.
He gave them assurance that
hereafter advancement in that depart.
ment will depend solely upon the results
of these examinations and their Office
records. Hitherto, he said, persons that
obtained places in the department
landed at the foot OF the staircase, and
stayed there until strong backing or
powerful influence pushed them up
wards, and he assured them that such a
custom should no longer prevail.

Concerning the Indians.

The latest statistics as to the Indians OF
the United States have spoiled many fine
essays, and some tolerably good poetry.
The Indians, to use the language of an
agent. "have just about stopped dying
, out" In fact, they are about as numcr-
GUS asthey were twenty years ago, though
some authorities maintain that this only
seems SO because the count is far more ac-
ci,rate since all the wild tribes have heen
located on reservations. At any rate it is
certain that the decrease Is much less thnn
WIS supposed, and probable that several Of
the superior tribes are increasing.

MARITAL TROUBLES.
Two Interesting Cases in Justice
Kimmerly's Court.

Two cases of women trying to rid them
elves of worthless husbands were before
Police Justice Kimmerly this morning.
Mrs Robert Walsh, plain but neatly
dressed woman of middle age, whose hus-
band is an agent for the Metropolitan
Insurance Company, preferred charge
of assault against her husband. and asked
the Justice if steps could not be taken to
prevent him from coming to the house.
She was willing to undertake the care
of her five children. Her husband, she
said. was drunkard before she married
him, but she did not know it. Sne ac-
cused him inhuman and cruel treatment
of herself and children, ,and said that on
recent occasion, while his children were
crying for bread and eleven months rent
were due, he deliberately walked out and
spent what little money he had in a
quarreled, and Mrs. Walsh says she was
beaten and dragged around the room by
her hair.
Walsh is middle-aged man, tall, and
wears full brown beard. He does not
look like drunkard. He admitted that
he and his wife could not agree, and
separation would be best; but he appealed
to the Court to allow him to visit and
help support his children. His wife
could not do it. AS to the assault last
night, he said he was acting on the de-
fensive and showed several marks and
bruises on his arms and forehead which,
he said, were inflicted by his wife with a
cover litter. Police Justice Kimmerly
put him under 500 bonds to keep the
peace, and advised him to keep away
from his wife.
SHE CALLED HIM MoDoC.
Mrs. John Wolleon. very respectable
looking matron of middle age. charged
her husband with non-support She lives
at No. 70 Pamrapo avenue. She was a
widow when she married WolleOn, and
did not ask that he be made to support
his step children. She said that Wolleon
had not given her a cent In five weeks.
She was obliged to appeal to Poormaster
Hewitt for food for her children, and her
husband after gormandizing at his
fathers house. on one occasion came home
and ate what little she had begged for her
children. She blamed her mother-in-law
for her husbands conduct.
Wolleon said he usually made from $25
to S35 week taking seed oysters out OF
of work. But only two weeks ago he
gave his wife $40, and few days ago he
gave her fifty cents. Mrs. Wolleon adj
mitted the fifty cents. but denied the
forty dollars Then WoIeon said that his
wife was in the habit of locking up the
grub and refusing to give him anything
to eat.
Mrs. Wolleon was the widow of John
Gillen when she married Wolleon, and at
one time owned the two-story house she
lives in. She has a demented child al
Snake Hill Almshouse. Wolleon accused
his wife of sending the child there with
| out his knowledge, and OF calling him o
Modoc and other names. He was put
under bonds to pay his wife IS a month,

EXCHANGING TICKETS.
A Long List of Purchasers at the
Academy.

a Long AiSC u Iufchasero a. tHo
When the Academy of Music box Office
opened this morning there was
line of people extending from
the window to the corner
OF Montgomery and Gregory streets.
They We're holders of subscription tickets
to the jersey City Amateur Operate As
sociation's performances of "Tne Brig
ands," which are to occur on
the nights of November 10, 20 and
81 and in the afternoon of November 81.
The exchanging of the subscription
tickets for seats began at nine o'clock
and is still going on as fast as the holders
can be attended to-. There
scription, aud of these probably 1000 will
be claimed today. The preference SO far
shown is for Friday and Saturday nights,
although the seats for Thursday night
and Saturday matinee are being taken up
quite rapidly.
The exchange of the subscription tick
cts will close each plight at six O'Clock
and will be continued on each succeeding
day until the list is closed.
This afternoon there was still
a long line of people waiting. Some were
young ladies. who beguiled the
time by reading. Many purchas-
ers of subscriptions secured tele-
graph messenger boys to exchange
their seats and thus avoided the up-
pleasantness of standing in the line for
some hours. No Information as to the
plumber OF seats already taken could be
obtained
