ABILENE. Texas June 26-The remains
OF j. NJ Lighter, formerly a prominent citi-
zen Of this city, have been found in his wood
pile at his home west OF town In a badly
decomposed state. His sad end recalls a
sad history. He removed here in the early
days of this city. together with his family
from Virginia, and entered upon the prac-
tice Of law. For a while fortune smiled
upon him, but domestic troubles ensued
some Of the female members of his family
going astray. The load weighed heavily
upon the old man. and a separation from
his family followed, he entering upon a
life of solitude on his little farm. where he
died a pauper unattended by any one

Bids for FLAGS.

Bids were opened at the Treasury De-
partment yesterday for the flags and bunt-
ing with which all the buildings Of the
country are annually supplied. Owing to
the complexity of the bids. 1t will be i'm
possible to determine the one most advan-
tageous to the government for several days
yet. The number of flags annually used Is
sail to be considerable. and on an average
the department forwards six each day to
different parts of the country, where they
are displayed during business hours. The
War and Navy Departments are the only
two which practically manufacture their
own flags. All the navy's flags are made at
the New York navy yard. while the army
flags come from some of the western towns
where army posts are situated.

been much doubt. appears to be assured. A
report from United States Consul Grinnell,
at Manchester. states that the revenues
from tolls and dues for the i've months
ending with May were EDS. 7Ol. which
more than covered all EXPENSES connected
with the traffic, including wages. salaries
ana stores. rates and full proportion of
office expenses. Maintenance was not in
cluded, and until the work is complete all
outlay on works will be charged against

GOING TO GRAY GABLES
Indications That the President is Pro-
pairing for Another Trip
He Don't Want to Leave Washington
However, Until the Tariff
Bill 10 Passed.

Although the President undoubtedly de-
sires to join his family at Gray Gables as
soon as possible 1t Is understood that he
also wants to remain here until Congress
has disposed Of the tariff bill. In case the
consideration of that legislation should be
prolonged much beyond present expectations
the President may conclude to adhere to his
original plan of spending a few days at
Buzzards Bay next week and returning to
Washington to await the adjournment 1t
Is said that II the tariff bill were out of the
way he would at once transfer his official
family to Gray Gables and transact execu-
tive business there instead Of at Washing
ton until the cool weather Of the autumn
permitted him to return to Washington In
comfort. In case of such action communi-
cation with Congress and the executive de-
partments would be conducted altogether
by mail and telegraph and there would be
no occasion for personal interviews the
uncertainty as to when the tariff bill will
come to a vote prevents serious consldera-
ton of this plan at present.
Mr.. Thurber's Statement and Other
Indications.
Private Secretary Thurber said today that
there was no truth in the report from Gray
Gables that the President will be there Sat
urday or Sunday, but he declined to discuss
the Presidents plans beyond the latter
date. There are many signs around the
Executive Mansion to indicate that the
President contemplates another trip some
where, with the chances strongly in favor
of Gray Gables. Sinclear. his valet. who
accompanied Mrs. Cleveland on her trip.
returned to the White House today and the
presumption is strong that his business is
the making Of arrangements for the Presi-
dents departure such as the packing of his
clothing and his hunting and fishing para
phernalia. 1t Is said that the President has
promised to spend the Fourth of July with
his family, and as Mr.. Thurber says he
Will not leave the city this week, he will
have to leave early next week, in order to
make his alleged promise good

Justice Harlan and President CaFnOt.
Mr.. Justice Harlan. speaking Of President
Carnot, said:
Il had the pleasure Of meeting President
Carnot on several occasions during my stay
In Paris as a member OF the Bering sea
tribunal Of arbitration. From what I saw
and heard Of him 1t was evident that of
all the public men Of France he WIS pre-
eminently qualified to meet the RESPONSE
bilities attaching to the presidency Of the
French republic. He impressed me as one
OF those rare statesmen who never said or
did anything that was inconsistent with
the dignity Of his exalted position or for
which 1t became necessary to apologize. He
was never hasty, or inconsiderate, or i'm
prudent. He loved France and II was ap-
parent that France loved him. l doubt
whether any one can be found who will
NIL his great office SO well as he has done.
During the whole of my sojourn In France
! never heard one word of disrcspect about
him: 1t is to be hoped that justice. speedy
Justice. will be done to the man who SO
cruelty murdered him."
The justice was asked II he had met
Madame Carnot He replied: II did. The
arbitrators, and the counsel. and all others
connected with the Boring sea tribunal
We're entertained at the palace by the Pres
ident and Madame Carnot upon other &C.
casions. In person and manners she re-
sembled Mrs Hayes. and that il quite
enough to say Of any lady. In her great
affiiction she will have the sympathy Of all
the world"

A Verdict for Plainfi6.

The jury this afternoon In the case of
James p. Lewis agt. VIM o. Dennison re-
turned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
s1.s12.s1. The plaintiff was the owner of
two lots in Mt Pleasant and Pleasant
Plains, which he commissioned the de-
PENDANT to sell for him, agreeing to sell
one for % cents foot and the other for
- cents. 1t was contended that Dennison
while really having a purchaser for the
lots at 80 cents a foot, sold them to a friend
of his for - and % cents a foot. respect

the real purchaser at 80 cents a foot. I'M

discovered the real facts in the case, as
he alleged, and thereupon sued Dennison
for the difference between the two prices
obtained.

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED.
Work Has to he Kept Up by Transfer
of Other Clerks

1t looks as though some one had Numbered
IA recognizing the clerical force OF the
War Department on a strictly business
basis Before the reorganization, the quar-
termaster generals Office had ninety-six
clerks. Secretary Lamont thought the BUSH
ness could be done just as well with less
ana by his orders twelve clerks were dis
missed on the LIST of June. Since then il has
been discovered that the work could not be
brought up to date, as required by recent
legislation. without working the entire force
an hour or more daily or by an increase Of
force.
The Secretary did not like to revoke his
action and he therefore ordered the trans
Ter or the necessary number of clerks from
other bureaus of the department. The ext
gencies OF the case were such that the ser
vices of twenty-siX additional clerks have
been required In the quartermaster generals
Office ever since the force was reduced by
twelve.
