Two More Victims of the Casino at Monte
Carlo.

MENToNE, March 25.-A few further
details regarding the suicide at Monte
Carlo of the two Americans, WE'LL and
Robb, of New Orleans, have come to
light. Every day they went to the
Monte Carlo casino and gambled. In
four days they lost $4,000 and appar-
emily had resolved upon making a final
attempt to recoup their losses. The
statement that they killed themselves
on Monday night was erroneous, for
Thursday they sent telegram to a
Mr.. White, at the Hotel Heller, in
Paris. . The contents of this telegram
have not been divulged.
They continued to lose heavily, and
late in the day Robb. received tele-
gram, which he showed to his friend
WE'LL The men conferred together for
some little time. They then retired
from the casino, and, judging from
what is known. at once went to a re-
tired part of the casino grounds and
killed themselves. The casino officials

proval outside Of the comparatively in-
significant number who have profited
under the existing order OF things.
The insincerity, extravagaucc and
DOWNRIGHT corruption of the repub-
lean administrations are nowhere
more plainly seen than in the
multiplication of Offices and places
where the strikers and blow
ers of the organization can re-
ceive payment for services rendered
to those who d;sburse these coveted
plums When henchman was to be re-
warded and no vacancy existed through

but from purely political standpoint
that need has been sufficient The
pay rolls were increased regardless of
any other consideration. and the in
evitable result is apparent in the thou
sands of govern ment employees who
render no equivalent for the sala-
ries which they draw. These barnacles
are to be removed and the working
force so reduced that it shall only be
equal to the reasonable demand made
upon its services. The weeding-out
process will require time, good judg-
ment and full understanding of the
situation. It is such move in the
right direction as would be expected
from man like President Cleveland,
and the saving of millions will be the
result The treasury of the United
States has too long been drawn upon
by politicians to pay their supporters,
and a summary dismissal of the sur
plus benefciaries cannot be too
promptly or too summarily made.
The policy affecting this matter,
outlined by the present administration,
is one that should be enulated in this
and every other city The people are
robbed that the professional politicians
may carry ont their selfish purposes.
Ward heelers are paid the price of
services that they do not perform, and
which they could not perform if the
responsibility of so doing rested with
them. They are not needed, not
wanted and should be dispensed with.
Comptroller Black has called atten ton
to this matter and it should be dealt
with as men would deal with like
evil affecting their private interests. |

A Story OF Costly Carelessness just Com
Ing Out.


New YORK, March 25.-The Posts
london special says: There is an inter-
esting correspondence in the columns
of the Times to-day. Lord Selbourne,
writing to Sir Henry James, expresses
surprise and incredulity at the latter's
assertion in parliament q few days ago
that confederate agents got wind of the
governments intention to prevent the
sailing of the Alabama by tampering
with the crown lawyers opinion
thereon during it's indirect and careless
sransmittal to the government. Sir
Henry replies maintaining that the re-
corded facts will substantiate the essen
t1al points of his story, that Great
Britain would never have had to admit
negligence or to pay an idemnity if the
opinion had been promptly and securely
forwarded.

EDITOR THE CITIZEN In your report
of my remarks before the Toint Board on
Tuesday you do not state the case fully
l remarked that Patton avenue had been
paved by contract to Woodcock drug
store with brick, and that Buxton street
had been paved by contract from Smiths
bridge to Melke's with rubble, and that
the Board was probably unwilling to
admit that either job was let at too
high n price, or that the work was i'm
properly done, OF her wise they did wrong
to pay for it, they have done; that IF
the price was reasonable, and the work
done according to contract could see no
reason why one or the ther of these con-
tracts might not be extended to cover
the short gap left in the mud, with the
additional obstruction of the street car
track above the ground high that no
wagon can cross it. and a great ridge of
earth thrown up on the South side
Furthermore. YOUR criticism of my

Sd, 500 paved with rubb,e at the price
paid for that on Buxton street, there is
no reasonable proba bility that more
than 10 per cent. could be saved bv ad-
cent. say $3.50. the city pays event tually
only 5 So and the paving between the
rails OF street car line will reduce that
nearly one third; so that the citv'S net
probable. or possible, gain would be-
say 500. For that 500 it will not pay
Asheville to let that mud hole rema in till
July or August.
There is still another way out of the
difficulty. and that is for the city to go
on and pave it Immediately with brick.
at least as far as Spring street. l cam
not see WHY Haywood street from
Melke's to Woodcock ought not to
have at least good pavement as
Haywood street from Woodcock to
MopttOrd avenue, which latter named
portion is to have brick. l believe that
not only a majority of t he Board. but of
the people of Asheville now see plainly
that immediate action should be taken
to finish the bridge" W. B. Gv-yr.

The treasury of the Massachusetts,
Mills, at Lowell, and the Whttenton
Mills, at Taunton, said he was absolutely
driven from the State and that he is go
ing South to build a mill in order to hold
his export trade. His goods, he said
can be made much chea per in the South
on the identical machine. The South is
gaining rapidly on the North, though he
did not believe that the South would

There is smoldering volcano in the

Matters have been growing no better
