Terrible Accident at Mr.. Tatum's Prize
Room This Evening.
A terrible accident happened today at
II M, to Little Lauretta Wilson, col
ored girl, about 8 years old. She had
carried her brothers dinner to him at Mr.
J. W. Tatum's prize room, and while she
was waiting for the pail she and another
little girl got on the elevator and started
it up stairs, when they had gone little
way up she layed down on the elevator
and looked over the edge to the floor be
low. Before any one could stop the
elevator it had caught her head between
the edge of the platform and the sills of
the second floor, cutting a cash in her
forehead about two and a half inches
long and striking the bone, also cutting
her scalp on the back of the head, max
ing wound you could lay finger in.
There was also a cash extending from
from the corner Of her mouth about one
and half inches long, cut through o
the jaw. AS soon as the elevator was
stopped she was released. She was car
red to the office of DR.. Carr and Man
ming where the wounds were sewed up,
and dressed with the assistance of Dr.
Moore
The physicians were unable to tell al

ATLANTA, September 12.-CaptaIn l..
IyIcr, general manager, and {. ii.
Phinizy, president, of the Atlanta and
West Point railway company, were re-
tired at a meeting of the stockholders
held yesterday. Mr.. George c. Smith,
recently elected president and general
manager of the Western railway, was
chosen for the same place on the Allan

and President Phinizy were retired
from the management of the Western
railway the action took with it their
retirement of the Atlanta and West
Point. While these railways are indie
pendent corporations, they are in real

stockholders are much the same, while
their interests are almost identical:
Mr. George c. Smith was nominated
for president and general manager and
elected in the place of Captain +. l..

treasury clerkS We're employed day
and night before the Chicago conven-
tion OF 1880, under the direction of a
treasury employe named Holland. After
the convention they were all promoted
over the heads Of more worthy and eff
Cient persons, regardless Of the protests
Of their respective bureau chiefs in re-
ward for this labor. By this division of
clerical ability from legitimate employ
ment to the forwarding Of his canvass,
Sherman managed to absorb a few Rddi-
tionsl thousand dollars OF the honest
taxpayers money. A great deal Of the
stationery used by Sherman during his
presidential candidacy came from the
stationery Office Of the treasury depart
ment, and it was q great deal. But a
considerable quantity, amounting to
hundreds Of dollars in value, came from
an enterprising merchant in this city,
whese name can be given. This bill
was paid out of the contingent fund OF
the treasury department, and the dis
bursement charged to a large number
Of patent fileholders, which was never
had. Doubtless Mr.. Sherman has sought,
or will do 80, to obtain receipt for his
stationery bill. We shall see, however.
The Meline commission, in their inves.
tigstion Of the custodianIs Office, nosed
out this fraudulent voucher, but he could
not find the fleholders for which it pur-
ported to pay. Upton and Power, two
Of Shermsn's candidacy managers, told
the custodian that he had better get rid
Of the fraudulent fileholder voucher by
paying into the treasury the amount
thereon, paid the merchant for stationery
supplied by him for Shermsn's presiden-
tial candidacy purposes about $500,
which he did. The custodian went to
Sherman and told him how he had been
compelled to pay out $500 for his ben
eft, It is hardly necessary to add that
the custodian never got that $500 back,
and long ago ceased to trust to the gen.
erOsity OF the greatest living fnsnoier.'
When ShermRn's new house, 1917 K
street, was finished, the next business in
such connection requiring the attention
Of it's owner was the furnishing. The
problem to the solution Of which he ad.
dressed himself was: How to furnish
the house without personal cost? Su-
pervising Architect Hill and the treas
ury department contingent fund ConSti-
tuted his conclusion. Hill detailed an
employe Of his Office to 60 to New York
City and select ..the furniture Sherman
desired, and it was paid for out of the
contingent fund Of the treasury depart
ment. The money so illegally disbursed
was charged to the purchase Of furniture
for public buildings. The amount was
in the neighborhood of $500, q mere
tri6e to country containing 30 many
taxpayers as does the United States"
Much Of the skulldugRery Of the exec
utive departments Of our state and ma
tional governments is paid for out Of the
contingent fund allowed them and which
they are not expected to account for.
There should be no such screen under q
democratic government. Everything
should be open, above board and ac-
countable to the people. Gov
ernor Humphrey made a bad
use of such q fund in this

your paper calls attention to a little
work Of Mrs. Todd, recently published In
relation TO ssme Of the peculiar opera
tions or honest John Sherman when Sec
retsry Of the treasury, and reminds me
shat / have some material at hand and
10 the same effect. These things have
hitherto been Systematically suppressed
and kept from the public eye. For when
the report, which Mrs. Todd alludeS to,
and furnishing the material for her
book, was made to the senate, only the
usual number was ordered published,
and even these suddenly disappeared;
10 that when / afterwards solicited
cory of the aama frOm. our members of
congress, was answered that none were
sxtant, except those in the bound vol
umes Of reports in the senate and other
libraries, and, therefore, it could not be
had.
MY attention was first called to the
subject while on my way East in 1882 Il
think il was) by an editorial in the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, as we left that
city; and I resolved to keep track Of the
matter and sec what grew out Of it. And
az if still further to impress it upon me,
the daily papers Of Washington on my
arrival there had illusions to the same
thing, and some went considerably into
detail as to the promised exposure,
which, as understand from Mrs. Todd's
revelation, was fully substantisted be-
fore the committee. 1t will be noticed
that the arrsignment Of the Globe Demo-
Crat applies Rs well to the recent secret
investigation Of the sugar-speculnting
senators 40 to the case OF Senator Sher-
man. The famed comfy and courtesy
among senators, Of which we hear SO
much, effsctually prevents ell full and
candid exposure Of their derelictions
and shortcomings to the public eye, and,
therefore, precIudes any correction Of
abuses that may have crept into the Rd-
mlniStration Of that body, or the prRc.
tice Of It's mOmbers. For example, /
was informed at Washington that it was
ths regular habit and practice Of John
Sherman land, doubtless, other senstors)
who keeps house there during the ses-
Blons OF congress, to quarter his ser
wants, even to his cooks and Stokers, on
the treasury and other departments on
full pay during the recess OF the senate
when he is at home in Ohio. And the
guzzling Of unprecedented and fabulous
quantities Of AppolOnRris water by the
members Of the senate at q summer ses-
sion q few years since astonished those
whose attention was called to the cir
cumstance. And all charged to Uncle
Sam, Of course, whose capRcious pock-
cts have to bear the burdens Of these
and other extraordinary expenses OF
senators which would have shocked and
outraged the sensibilities and sense Of
decency OF their predecessors Of q CEN
tury and half century ago. In this, as
in other equally and more important re-
spects, it is time that We got back to the
simplicity, integrity and economy of the
fathers and founders OF the republic
Then 1000 million dollars Of annual
drain whlch the American people now
nav for the luxury Of government will be
regarded with astonishment. And we

and other departmental Investigation
with open DOORS"
The facts, as they were brnlted about
Washington and as I gathered them
were that Secretary Sherman had re
Gently built splendid house there, ant
that much of the work on il was done
by government employees and paid FOL
by the government through false and
fraudulent vouchers covering other snd
fictitious items and things. For ex
ample, the Sunday Gazette, non-pRrti

w. Paul Brown, a well.known tressur!
carpenter on the Sherman house, con.
tinueS:
"Little has been said about that new
house which Davidson & Go. built To-
the late secretary. The plans OF tina
house and another mans, who con
sidsred himself almost az big a man al
Sherman, were made in the Office Of th'
supervising architect Of the treasury
Mr.. Hill, and by his written order. Th'
drafting architect of Hilps Office, VIII,
made these plans, was required to set
that the houses were built in accord
ance Herewith. He did this, and whel
the houses were completed was ordered
on duty in Chicago. just before his de
parture Hill requested the return Of tht
written order in connection with tn
plans and construction Of the late sec
retary's and the other mans house. Tht
subordinate refused to surrender tn
paper, on the ground that should an in
Vestigstion OF the supervising architects
office occur he would need it to shov
his authority for doing that work, An
other employe OF that Office, an un
nstursjizsd German, did q greet deal o
the nicer work on the new house Of thu
late secretary, and just before the lat
secretary returned to the senate he pro
moted him from a position that paid s.
per day to one that paid $40 per day.

tion with the late seCrstary's presi
dental candidacy. Some one hst

That depends on the people themselves;
end on that depends the problem OF
popular government. For certainly they
can't 90 much farther, az they are now
going-govsrnment expenses in county,
state and nation increasing with each
returning year. Mankind will not al
ways tolerate such burdens, bred OF le-
gslizsd robbery and plunder.
The following is the article from the
Globe. Democrat referred to:
''THE SHERMAN INVESTIGATION.
"Senstor Shermsn's opposition to
having the investigation Of the charges
made against him as secretary Of the
treasury public one, in any light in
which it may be regarded strikes the
people at large unfaHorsbly. The Rc-
cusations against the ex-seCretSFy are
that he made use OF public property
and labor for his private advantage, and
that he used government means for the
purpose Of advancing his interests as
presidential candidate. just why this
investigation, which the public are anx-
ious to know about, should be kept pri-
vate does not appear, unless it is that
Mr. Sherman thinks that number Of
politicians will be likely to look much
more lsniently upon his operations than
outsiders will. Il may be that Mr.. Sher'
man has done no more in the direction
charged than is customary among Cabl-
net officers, and this being shown, the
investigating committee will not care TO
60 further.
There is q kind Of freemssonry among
public men at Wsshington--it may be
with reference to minor cribbingH of the
governmsnt-and it ia not thought de-
sirable to let the public into an intimate
knowledge Of their practices. There ID
certainly reason to believe that such ID
the case. The public are deemed inCsp-
able Of sppreciating the WsshingtOnian
judgment, and hence the excuse foE
secrecy. It is just for this reason that a
concealed investigation fails, in public
sense, to be an investigation ct all. The
peculstion in the departments has been
theme Of too much discussion Of late
to permit of this kind Of investigation.
The public mind wants light in these
things, and it has q right to demand it.
"Ie the general official morality at
Washington has reached q point where
1t will not stand the test Of the common
standard Of judgment, but asks for one
peculiarly it's own, it Is high time that it
was subjected to the purifying influences
OF the outside atmosphere. II the
Washington standard OF morality justi-
fies the practices which it Ia charged
that Mr.. Sherman has been indulging
in, the force Of popular sentiment ought
to be brought to bear to bring that
standard back to q normal condition. II
Mr.. Sherman is to be vindicatsd satis-
factorily, it must be before the country
at large. He must make plain to the
people, not to has fellow and sympRthiz-
ing senator's alone, his innocence. He
ought not to be permitted to say TO his
investigators, Now, you know we oil do
these things; what do you want to make
me the individual scspegoat forS' and
thus secure a WhitewashinR report. Mr..
Sherman NAV nlead that IL would be nm.
