BLUNDERs OF ENROLLING CLERKS.

Errors IN Appropriation Bills Caused by
Delaying Them Till the Last Moment.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The p~robabili-
ties, as stated yesterday, are that the
clerks and some other employees in the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing employed
IN the production of greenbacks and other
government obligations, will have to take
certificates of indebtedness instead of cash
for their salaries for the balance of the
current fiscal year, as q result of an error
In the enrolment of the deficiency bill by
which the word thousand" was left off
after an appropriation intended to be $751;
600 for deficiency in pay of clerical and
other help at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. 1t is presumed that the en-
ployes Will not be dropped from the rolls
for the remainder of this fiscal year, as
they are necessary to the working of the
bureau. 1t is said at the appropriation
committee room that it is likely this will
be considered as O case wherein the gov
officers are authorized to create
an Indebtedness under the statute
providing that no government officer shall
incur any indebtedness for the government
except TO save life and property. 1t may
be held that the employment of these
clerks Is necessary TO save property" The
clerks will then be given certificates stat
ing that they nave rendered service to the
value named, and these they will probably
be able 10 get discounted for q considera-
tion by local money-lenders. who will get
reimbursed at the next session OF Congress.
Several other errors In enrolment have
been discovered. In the pension appropri-
alton bill an appropriation of S3U5. 900 was
Intended for fees of examining surgeons.
in enrolling the word five" was lett out,
so that the item reads: Three hundred
and thousand dollars" The deficiency of
5000 from the proper amount will not be-
serious, In view of the smallness of the
amount and of the fact that 1t is made on
estimates which. IN any event. may be too
large or too small, and which can be REM
edied next session before the money actual.
~ appropriated is exhausted.
These are but a few of the mistakes that
have been committed IN enrolment of the
appropriation bills. aud others are expect
ed to come TO light every day.

STRANGE CONDUCT OF A WOMAN.
Charged with Attempting to Blacken the
Reputation Of O Prominent Physician.
pecio1 10 the Indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, o.. March 15.-Outrageous at
tempts 70 blacken the reputation of DR.. W..
j. Means. one of the leading physicians of
this city. have been made from time to
time for several months past. and
tonight o woman charged with
the crime was arrested. The affair
is the most sensational that has stirred the
higher social CIRCLES of Columbus for some
time. The plan pursued to accomplish the
ruin of DE-. Means has been a systematic
one. At frequent intervals let
tiers have been sent to Mr..
Means. charging the Doctor with
having outraged the writer and demand
ing money. Besides this letters alleging
the vilest Grimes upon the part Of the Doc
tor have been sent TO other physicians and
20 the leading society people of the city.
These letters would invariably be sent
just before some social gathering. which
MIR. and Mrs. Means would probably at
tend. These miesives all passed into the
hands of Dr.. Means's attorneys. and
formed the basis of their patient work.
which has led to the arrest Of
Mrs. Alice g.. Patton, of No. $50 City
Park avenue, by constable Taylor, upon
taken before Justice Parsons. where che
gave bail IN the sum of $500 TO appear next
Tuesday. Her surety was DR..
Charles Ferrell. a prominent ply
slcian, whom she called uncle.
Mrs. Patton is about forty years old. and
claims to be o niece of Col. A. q. Patton. a
penitentiary contractor. and also claims
relationship with the late James q. Blaine.
The latter claim assisted in her detection.
The attorneys for DR.. Means had letters
written to her saying that a history of
Blaine was being written and asking for
any facts she had in regard to him.
Stamps were inclosed for a reply. The
letter received In response TO this
was compared with tho Matchmaking
letters and the handwriting were found TO
he similar. In addition To this a pretended
csnvasser for a city directory visited Mrs.
Patton. The canvasser had no ink in his
new fountain pen, and she politely filled il
up for him. This ink being analysed was
found IDENTICAL with that used in letters
sent by Mrs. Means.
DR.. Means was Mrs. Patton's physician
when she lived in the Doctors neighbour
hood. Ii Is said that she. during one of his
professional visits. locked the door and de-
manded none of him, but did not obtain
any. Shortly after the Pattons moved TO
their present address the Doctor was again
called. Not knowing what she wished. he
went. and was met by Mrs. Patton with a
second demand for cash. Another woman
was also present, and urged the Doctor TO
accept the proposition made. He refused.
and then the anonymous letters began and
have since continued. The epistles are too
vile TO be printed.

is II. L. Tiepke. of Rhode Island. Il. p.
Allen, of Michigan. and w. l.. Taylor. of
Indiana. Representatives attended the
convention from ell the important States
from Maine to California.
A member of the COMMITTEES said: while
there has been some doubt in the minds of
politicians as to whether the league would
hold a convention this year, the committee
was unanimous in its determination
neither to omit nor postpone the national
convention, and to move all the more
promptly and strongly because of the party
defeat last year"
President Claikson said: THE corre-
spondence of the league shows that the
blood of the party is mp and ready for
fight. The prospect for a large attendance
ut Louisville Is good. and the Louisville
people ore making ready to give the visit
ing Republicans a Kentucky welcome.
Some of the most eminent national speak
ers in the party will attend. and it is quite
probable that Chairman Carter will call o
meeting of the Republican national COM
mittee to meet at Louisville at the same
time."
The committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chair. and may he called to meet
in Washington or Chicago Lsxt month.
