When the waiter returned he de-

THE CARNEGIE CORRUPTION.

The worst of this Carnegie works
fraud on the Government, IL that there
can be no certainty that similar prac-
tices do not run all through the years OF
that company's enormous contracts for
furnishing the Government with armor
plate. The imperfections In the armor
plate were SO cunningly disguised as to
escape the detection of skilled and
careful examination of army officers
was only discovered through the tes-
timony of informers. 1t is pity that
the fine-S140,0 0,000-could not have
been made heavier. The disclaimer
of knowledge or participation in the
rascslity by Carnegie aud Frick-the
only parties benefitted--may be true.
But there will be some people so skep-
tical as to doubt.

Notice..

An error in arrangement of
dates having arisen, it has been
decided to fix the date of the
Masquerade Ball on Thursday
the 18th instead of the 9TH of
April. This will give a week
longer for preparation, and
will enhance the success Of the
undertaking and enable many
to attend who would otherwise
be unable to do SO. The OBJ
iect is charity, the ball being
given for the benefit Of the poor,
and the cause must appeal to all.
A glorious time is expected
and all will be well rewarded
who will bear in mind the al
tered date, April 18th, at Hex
ter's Hall. Respectfully,
The MANAGERS.

The Bankruptcy Bill.


The Senate committee on judiciary
has had the bankruptcy bill under
discussion, and while no decision was
reached, q general disposition was
nantes. to report bankruptcy bill.
There was q difference ofopinion as to
whether the bill to be reported should
provide for both voluntary and invol-
untary bankruptcy or simply for vol
untary bankruptcy. There was also a
discussion as to what act oil the part
of the person shall constitute bank
ruptcy. The bill before the commit
tee provides failure TO meet note
due shall be sufficient, but some ofthe
members of the committee were not
satisfied with this definition OF the re-
ouirements, and q subcommittee, con-
sisting of Senators George Villas, Hoar
and Mitchell, was appointed to investi-
gate this question and report to the
full committee at future meeting.

SIT is SAIL.

President Cleveland is said TO have
decided to make no change in the
Office Of public printer, now held BY
President Harrison's appointee, Mr..
Palmer.-Ex.
Let's see The government printer
is said TO be relative Of Mr.. Gresham.
the Presidents Secretary of State.
Still he ought to be made to "walk
the plank" aud his place given to a
good Democrat. Palmer is a Repub-
Observation-Disclosures.
1t "is said" also. and never that we
have seen denied, that Palmer Is re-
tanned on The recommendation Of Mr..
Richardson; the Democratic Chair
man OF the committee on printing.
This is probably fair sample OF the
complaints against the President by
Democrats, for dilatoriness IN official
changes. The general injustice of this
charge is shown in the following Wash
ington special; which we have not
noted reproduced in the very papers
In Mississippi which have echoed the
charge:
Washington, March 2l.-More than
one-half of the whole Dumber ofpresi-
dental postoffices have been filled by
nominations sent to the Senate since
the incoming of the present admins
tration. This fact is brought out in a
comparative statement prepared at
the Postofilce Department. 1t Is shown
that the number ofthese appointments
by the last administration, from March
4, 1889, TO March IL, 1890, was 1898.
There were 50 presidential appoint
mcnts made on March Is, 1890. The
number made by this administration
between March 4, 1898, aud March Is,
1894. was 1920. The total number OF
presidential postofiices In operation
March IL last was 3425. Figures OF
appointments of fourth class post
masters for the former Cleveland ad-
ministration and the Harrison admin
istration are given on the basis OF
sixteen months, as official statements
then compiled covered the fiscal year
and the period from March A to July
l of the first year of each administers
ton. For the twelve months OF the
present administration the number ol
changes in fourth postmssters wal
22,0l2. The changes for the sixteen
months ending June 80, 1886, aggre
gated 20,88l. For the first sixteer
months of the Harrison administra
iion the number was 24,645, and th'
monthly average of appointments o
both presidential and fouth class post
masters during the Harrison admins
tratiop ives 1916 and for the present al
ministration 1877.

drowned tonight in the Delaware river
at the foot Of Chestnut street by two
men. Officer Zeaser heard the clergy
man cry for help. but owing to the dark
ness was unable to locate the direction
from which the sound came. He heard
second cry. but it was much stified.
Two sailors, who had also heard the
cry. reached the spot about the same
time as the officer They saw the body
OF man floating in the river. and leap
ing in. brought it to the shore. Chees-
man expired in a few minutes. Shortly
after the cries were heard two men are
known to have run away from the
wharf. The police shortly before mid.
night arrested Isaac George and Solo
mon Willis on suspicion Of having com
mitted the crime What the clergyman
was doing on the wharf at that time of
night and what was the motive Of the
crime is mystery.
