o. S. WANT OFFICE rs TAINTED.
Its Doors in the Exchange Building Closed
and Applicants Who Have Paid Their
Money Arc Becomin1 Angry

Its Doors in the Exchange Building Closed
and Applicants Who Have Paid Their
Money Are Becoming Angry.
The U. s. Want Office, o species of
labor exchange or hiring place, located
in rooms Nos. 2 and 8, Exchange Build
ing, has had its Goors closed for several
days. People who paid their money to
the proprietor, G. g. Eavins, who claims
to hail from Bangor, Me-, are anxious
to see that gentleman and ascertain
what prospects there are of their getting
jobs, as he promised to get them in pay
for the dollar apiece they paid him.
Eavins left about week ago saying
he would return the next evening. But
he has not been seen since. The early
part of last week there was busy
crowd of callers at the office, mostly
servants and nurse girls looking for en-
gagements. They have each deposited
81 or so cents, according to the con-
tract, Many of them have called at the
office several times since but found it
closed.
1t is understood scores of working
men, carpenters, and several men who
were promised miners jobs somewhere
in Virginia have paid dollar each to
Eayins and have not yet got their
promised work.
1t is stated that Eavins obtained the
sum of 500 from young man whom
he appointed his chief clerk. He got
the money from the young man on the
assertion that it was to protect him
(Eavins) against the collections the clerk
made during the chiefs absence.
1t is learned that some local business
people Of responsibility are anxious to
take hold of the office and run it prop
erly. This it is stated will be done the
coming week.

O. A. r. MEN PROTEST.


A Gathering of 200 Pensioners Express
Their Belief That Their Monthly Per
Diems Are IN Danger.
At the gathering of members of Della
ware Encampment, G. A. r., at the
Hardness Building, Tuesday night, 200
pensioners, white and colored, passed
resolutions condemning tho course OF
Secretary of the Interior Hon. Hoke
Smith, and Pension Commissioner w.
II. ,Lochren, for their alleged injustice
to the Grand Army men.
Department Commander Benjamin d.
Bogia presided. A number of speeches
were made. The meeting was not open
to the public.
The following are the resolutions
passed:
Your committee appointed to draft reso-
lutions to be submitted to the national en-
campment, condemning present rulings by
those in authority concerning pensions,
would beg leilve to submit the following
Resol0ed, That the onslaught made by
the Secretary of the Interior, Hon. Hoke
Smith, and the new commissioner, W. II.
Lochren, on the pensioners ofthis country
Is considered by the MEMBERS OF this de-
partment as a great injustice.
First. Because every pensioner has
proven his disability according to the laws
governing the same; and
Second. Because they have passed the
required test OF one or more boards of
physicians appointed by. the government
to examine into their physical condition
and who have recommended him for the
pension he now draws.
Therefore, if the roll of the pension de-
partment bear upon its pages an unworthy
one, it is certainly not the fault of he who
has complied in every and all particulars
with the demands OF the law, but of the
law; therefore, be 1t
ResolUed, That We enter our protest to
the stigma put upon our department COM
rades all over the country for which they
suffered so much, as branding them as
'bummers," bounty Jumpers" coffee
coolers" &C.. and we, therefore ask the
national encampment to endeavor in
every possible way to stand between our
comrades and the danger menacing them
in their old age.
Resolued, That copy of this report and
| appended resolutions be forwarded to the
| Acknowledgement OF the Grand Army OF
the Republic that they may be presented
to the national encampment.
A copy of the resolutions will be sent
| to the national encampment.

MURDERED HIS FRIEND.

The Vile Treachery and Mnrder0us Act
of an Itaiian--Stole Into His Friends
House at Night and Killed Him.
United Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
ST. CLAIR, Pa, Aug. 16.-George
ochs, employed at Pine Forest colliery,
and Harry Manfuid, an Italian of East
Mines, employed by the Pottsville Water
Company, have been close friends for
some time past, and from time to time
have called at each others homes.
Yesterday vas payday for Manfuid,
and he spent part of the day and the
evening at Ochs' home in this place;
When midnight arrived Ochs politely
told Manfuid it was bedtime and the
family wished to retire.
Manfuid left the house, but returning
between / and o'clock, effected an
entrance through an upper story win
dow. Mrs. Ochs, who with her hus.
band occupied room on the lower
floor, heard the noise and in q few
moments saw man blow out the lamp
in her room. She awoke her husband
who Immediately closed with the daring
Italian.
In the struggle Ochs was shot through
she heart. The murderer was traced to
his home in East Mines and when con-
fronted by police officers cried fol
mercy, although at the same time deny
ing his guilt, He claimed he was home
al 10 o'clock, but his mother.in- law
states he was not home until between 9
and o'clock this morning.
Great excitement prevailed when he
was brought into town. A bowling
mob demanded his body and lynching
was barely prevented.
Manfuid was secretly taken to train
and thence to Pottsvllle, where he wa!
committed to jail. Manfuid's reputation
is rather unsavory, and it is feared hi;
object in entering his companions home
was for a crime fully as heinous as the
| one he committed

A MULES F.IT4L MISHAP
Struck by an Electric Car ON the Fourth
Street Line nnd INSTANTLY Killed.

Struck by an Electric Car ON the Fourth
Street Line and Instantly Killed.
Electric car No. 105 on tho Fourth
street extension of the Wilmington city
railway, east-bound, struck and in
stantly killed a mule belonging to John
Jacoby, the contractor, about 0 o'clock
a. NJ. yesterday. The car was in charge of
Conductor Frank Higgins and Motor
man Charles Shaw. The accident hap
pened on Fourth street, just above
Adams.
The mule was attached to a heavy
cart George Jennings, colored, aged 20
years, was the driver. Jennings was
engaged in hauling sand from Fifth and
Adams streets to poiht on Fourth
street, west of Adams. The cart had
been unloaded and the driver and mule
started across the tracks The driver
had only single rein, to guide the
mule, and when the animal reached the
street car track, it refused to turn oil.
The electric car was coming down the
hill, and before the driver could get his
mule from the tracks, the car crashed
into the team, killing the mule, throw.
ing the driver into the street, and over
turning the cart. A portion of the heavy
cart shaft was broken by the crash,
which was heard several blocks away.
Jennings sustained cash in his head,
which was dressed by Pr, John Q.
Fahey.
There are several versioA of the az
cident. John L,ally, who liv| at 'Fourth
and Jackson streets, says tMe car was
running nt the rate of so miles an hour
while John Ballings thinks the speed
did not exceed 40 miles an hour. lie
said person cauld hardly see the car
for the dust it made. Lally severely
criticised the motorman for running SC
fast, and said it was a wonder the driver
OF the cart was not killed.
Michael Newell heard the crash oi
the accident, and when he looked up
the mule was lying in the street and the
overturned cart WAS at the animals side,
He says the motorman had little diff
Guilty in stopping the car, and for that
reason is not disposed to believe the rate
of speed was as great as was represented
to be. The motorman loudly sounded
his bell. Mr.. Newell says there wa;
considerable excitement caused by the
accident, and his attention was frs
called by several women, who were
passengers on the car, screaming.
