The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-12-16

1t is highly gratifying to know that
MIR. Spofford, the former librarian of
congress, has been indicated. 1t was
supposed to have beer found that Mr..
Spolford's accounts were short about
100000 or $4,000, 70 the surprise of all
who knew him. He promptly paid the
shortage out of his private funds. Now
1t has been discovered by some one who
has been going through the papers in
the Office that there are thousands of
dollars of postal orders that have been
regularly charged up to Mr.. Spofford
mat he has never presented for pay
ment but laid aside in one place or an
other, intending, of course, to have them
cashed and forgotten them. The amount
of uncashed postal orders will cover thc
entire shortage charged to Mr.. SpofTord
and the government will repay him the
money he paid out of his private funds
TO cover supposed shortage We re-
peat that it is gratifying that a man
who has been held in such high esteem
has been clearly indicated by this dis
coyery.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-12-16

The gap ON civil service reform is
widening within the ranks of the repub-
lican party. Such sterling journals of
the republican persuasion as the New
York Tribune are sustaining the presi-
dent in his stand - favor of civil ser
vice reform, while such influential CON
gressmen as Mr.. Grosyeuor of Ohio are
assailing it. The Tribune says: Civil
service reform was in its inception a
republican measure and was first prac-
tically adopted by republican admins,
tration. The republican party can not
repudiatc it now without going back Oh
its own record, and that is not only a
dishonorable thing to do, but is apt to
prove politically disastrous. Ask Plat
and Quigg if it isn't" While on the
other hand, Congressman Grosvenor is
rallying to the opposition considerable
following.

ACCIDENT AT A CROSSING.
A Locomotive Struck n Delivery
WagOn-The Driver May Die.

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. 14.-(Speciall-
An accident which may prove fatal in its
results was witnessed at the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas crossing on Leudc
street, near Polk Bros stock yards this
morning at about $3.50. At that hour
John Dawkins, who drives delivery
wagon for III. Bramm q Co., attempted
to cross the railroad track at that point
and the wagon was struck by a Missouri,
Kansas and Texas locomotive. The horse
drawing the wagon was knocked into the
air and killed and the animals flesh was
scattered for some distance. The vehicle
was completely demolished and Dawkns
was precipitated for some distance and
received serious if not fatal injuries. He
had several scalp wounds inflicted and
it is thought he is injured internally.
Dawkins was sent out today to buy
cracker boxes. He was driving east when
the accident occurred and did not notice
the approaching train on account of some
obstacle until the animal was squarely
on the track. The injured man was taken
to the sisters hospital, where he is re-
ceiving medical attention.

BRITISH LOST HEAVILY.
Continuous Action Marked the March
of WestmascOtts Brigade.

Sima. Drc. 14.-Accorliug to official
dispatches from the Northwestern from
tier, the march of Gen Westmascott's
brigade from the camp al Sher-Khel into
the Sturi-Khel country WAS in continuous
action.
The enemy closed upor the rear guard
and kept firing at short range with great
spirit The British lossIs were heavy
and included Lieut. West of the Ghurkas,
who was killed. and Lieut.. Champiare
who was wounded.
The whole march down the Bara val
ley since the 9th inst. has been marked
by incessant fighting, but the forces have
behaved admirably. The route was diff
hcult in the extreme, through rain, mud
and snow. Along the river the course
was impeded by ravines and boulders and
the icy cold stream had to be forded knee
deep twenty times. The transport ami
mails. with numerous sick and wounded,
encountered the progress.
The enemy has been severely punished
in the recent encounters. The disaster to
