The Next AdIutnnt General.

The HERALD's announcement that Gen.
J. X. Sigfried, of Pottsville, would likely
be the next Adjutant General under
Governor Hastings, has brought out the
following comments:
General j.. X. Sigfried, of Pottsville, is
mentioned as likely to become Adjutant
General under Governor Hastings.-Re
publican.
An interesting piece of political intelli-
gence which will be received with satis-
faction by Pottsvillians, is to the effect
that General Hastings has practically de-
cided upon General Joshua X. Sigfried, of
this town, for the position of Adjutant
General. The candidate for Governor and
Gen. Sigfried have been close friends for
many years, and the many hints which
have been thrown out indicate that there
is something more than mere rumOr be-
hind this matter. 1t would be an honor
worthily bestowed,
The rumor to the effect that Gen, j. X.
Sigfried is to be Adjutant General under
Governor Hastings is receiving very favor
able comment General Sigtried is emf.
nently worthy of such recognition. He has
all the necessary qualifications and should
he be thus hOnored his past record is sutll-
cient guarantee that the interest of this
commonwealth, as far as his authority
would go, would be most carefully
guarded. For the time and energy the
General has spent in the interest OF the
Republican party he deserves some recog
milton.

Large Tumor Removed.

A difficult operation was performed at
the almshouse upon Ellen Lally, of town,
a patient at the above institution, by DR..
O'Hara, the almshouse physician. Eight
years ago a large tumor commenced to
form upon the patient until it extended
from the left shoulder to the waist line,
and from the spinal column to the left
side of the body, measuring fourteen
inches from top to bottom, eleven inches
in width and eight inches in thickness.
When removed it weighed nine and three
quarter pounds, and was taken out en-
masse. 1t took the physicians twenty
five minutes to perform the operation,
and at its conclusion the patient was
able to walk from the operating room.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 24.-The
treasury officials, while dipclnimlng any
fears Of trouble on account of tho pres.
cnco OF tho crowds incident to the com.
ing Of Coxey'a army, havo taken the
precaution OF adding ilfty-fve carbinos
and twenty rovolvers to tho treasury's
supply Of arms. The normal strength
OF the watch force OF tho treasury Is
seventy mon, divided into two reliefs,
and in addition to two or three dozen
rovolvers, there has always been thirty.
five carbincs in the racks in the office
of the captain OF tho watch, sufficient to
supply one to each watchman on duty.
1t has been thought best, however, to
increase the supply in view OF the
crowds OF hangers-on OF Coxey's army
that are expected to arrive in the city
during the coming week.
Tho captain OF the treasury guards, q
local military organization. composed
entirely OF clerks in the treasury de-
partment, to-day informed the captain
OF the watch force that in case OF any
trouble at any hour OF tho day or night
Ito could have every man in his COM
macd at tho treasury building inside OF
forty-ive minutes. Ho stated that his
men wore we'll drilled in the use OF
arms and hence could do much more
effective work than civilians. He asked
to be notified Ii there was at any time
any apprehension OF trouble.
