The Active Candidates

Although the names of about fifty per-
sons have been mentioned in connection
with the appointment. it is said there are
but a dozen active candidates for the
office. Among the most prominent possi-
bilities are DR.. Tarlton H. Bean. for many
years connected with the commission, now
superintendent Of the aquarium just es-
tablished in New York, and who is said to
be backed by Secretary Lamont and As
sistant Secretary Reynolds; Prof. ]. A.
Henshall, a member of the Cuvier Club,
Cincinnati who has the support of Secre-
tary Carlisle and Attorney General Har-
mon; President May of the Nebraska fish
commission, who Is Secretary Morton's
candidate: H. c. Ford. president of the
Pennsylvania fish commission: ]. F. Crisp
of Missouri, Capt ]. w. Collins. a former
attache Of the commission; s. G. Worth, at
present in charge Of the central station in
this city: Prof. Rathbun, one of the SCI
entific men in the commission; Major Fer
guson, formerly connected with the insti-
tuition, and Herschel Whitaker Of Detroit.
The office of fish commissioner is a most
desirable one. Besides salary attachment
Of $1,000 it has numerous attractions to a
student Of nature, not the least of which
Is the control Of several fine steam vessels.

THE FISH COMMISSION.
The Vacancy is Expected to be Filled
Very Soon.

1t is expected that the President will
soon fill the vacancy in the office of COM
missioner of fisheries, caused by the death
of Col. Marshall Mcdonald. The duties of
the Office have been temporarily performed
by Mr.. Herbert A. Gill, chief clerk, but
the thirty days period during which the
office may be filled by temporary designa-
ton has expired. There is pressing need
for prompt action on the part of the Presi-
dent in this matter, it Is said, inasmuch as
the important work of the fish commits
sion is now embarrassed because of the alb
sence of the official head. Aside from the
merest routine nothing is now being done

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

At Stafford G. b. yesterday, in the
train robbery case, William Washing
ton and Capt. Birdsong, the fireman
and conductor of the held-up train, cor
roborated the statements made on
Thursday by Gallagher, the engineer,
and then Percy S. Crutchfeld, the ex-
press messenger who was robbed, was
put on the stand. He told graphic
tale of the blowing open of the car door
and of the robbery, and identified the
pouches that were robbed and the one
that was carried off. He then described
the man who was in the car. Replying
to question of Prosecuting Attorney
White whether he had seen the man
since, he pointed his finger and said,
THAT man lying on the cot is the man"
Like steel spring Morganfield arose
to a sitting posture and said in clear,
distinct voice: "You are liar" Judge
Ashton sternly called the prisoner to
order aud stated he would punish him
for any further interruptions. After a
long cross-examination by General
Shay, the prisoners counsel, Mr..
Crutchfeld, stood aside and court ad-
journed for dinner.
Mr.. Murray, the other express mes
senger, corroborated Mr.. Crutchfeld's
statement, only differing in some de-
tails. He positively identified Morgan
field as the man who was in the ex-
press car on the night of October 18th,
and identified the reddish brown hat
which was found on Morgan6eld as the
hat he had on the night Of the robbery.
Mr.. Murray stood aside and Prosecut-
ing Attorney White called Charles j.
Searcey. Searcey came into court
leaning on the arm of Sheriff Kennedy
and smoking cigar, which the court
ordered him to throw aside. He was
neatly dressed and looked composed
and jaunty. General Shay and Mr..
Little, the counsel for Morganfeld,
vigorously objected to the competency
of Searcey as witness on the ground
that he was an accomplice jointly in
dicted, and, therefore, he could not
testify. Judge Ashton said he did not
desire to hear any argument from the
prosecution on this point, and decided
that the witness was competent.
Searcey, in qniet and composed way,
under storm of objections to every
thing he said and to every question
asked by the prosecution, told the tale
of the robbery; identified Morganfeld
as one OF the men; said there were only
two; told how the robbery was planned;
how the place was selected and how
the robbery was accomplished; identi-
fed Morganfeld's hat, which had been
introduced, told of the purchase of the
two railroad tickets, one to Cumber-
land by Morganfeld and ona to Gin
cinnati by him, and their subsequent
exchange on Morganfeld's departure
from Cumberland Co Cincinnati. Nor
garfield kept his eyes fixed on Searcey
while testifying, and at times was
evidently laboring under strong excite
ment. Searcey was on the stand when
court adjourned, and resumed the
stand to-day.
