CUSTOM HOUSE APPOTNTEES.
The Bowden Faction Get the Offices at
Newport News.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA. Nov. 3.-Spe-
cial.-The first of the appointments in the
unclassihed service at the custom-house
was made this afternoon by Collector
Jesse w. Elliott. These serve to show
that Bowden men will be put i'm service in
preference TO applicants from the ranks
of Lamb.
The appointments are Joseph Richter
and II. NJ. Walters members Of the c. Il.
Huntington Republican Club and John
Byrd and Robert Rogers two of the most
earnest colored workers among the Bow
den followers.
When Mr.. Elliott was named as collec-
tor of the port, the Lamb men claimed
that his appointment was by no means a
victory for the Bowden saction, as II had
been made by the President i'm payment
OF a debt of gratitude owing President
NJ. T.. ingalls,, of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad. There is no doubt that the
followers of Lamb confidently expected
to secure several appointments I'm the I'M
classified service but the friendly attitude
of Collector Elliott towards Mr.. Bowden
and Postmaster Read has succeeded i'm
keeping the Lambites under cover, and
they are not expected to come out and
request any favors Other appointments
will shortly be made in this service.
The Bowden leaders are making an ef-
fort to displace several Of the inspectors
under the classified service and there IS
every reason to believe that if they carry
out their present plan they will succeed.

from the skin and loosened the teeth. but

From the latest report neither wound

the action has been assigned.
Mr.. Lyme retired TO his room late yes
terday afternoon, and a short while af-
forwards a noise was heard. which was
thought at the time to be the slamming
of window shutter.
At IL O'Clock at night a similar noise
was heard by some one passing along the
road. No attention was paid to the noises
but II is now supposed that they were
the explosions OF the gun.
Early this morning, when a farm hand

what had taken place. Mr.. Lyme was suf-

All druggists recommend the Pyramid
