ACCUSED OF EMBEzzLEMESE.
The Dismissed CHER Po.t once Inspector Held
for Trial.

WAsHISGToN.Au 2s.-Thomas NJ. Arlington,
recently dismissed from the office of Chief In
spector of the Post Office Department, was to-
day held in 81. 600 bail. awaiting trial by JUS
tice OF the Peace Mills on the charge of embez-
cling $2,ll5 from the Government. Arlington,
who is from North Carolina, was appointed
Chief Post Office Inspector under President
Cleveland and was dismissed by Postmaster
General Gary. When the Government audi
tors went over his accounts, it is alleged that
they found "a considerable shortage in the
money paid into the hands OF the Chief Inspec-
tor by delinquent Post Offices from time to time.
Arlington. when arrested by Marshal Wilson.
protested that he paid back all of the money
except $40, which he WAS also ready to return.
He was held to appear for trial before Justice
Mills next Friday.
MIR. Arlington asserts that his dismissal
was for purely political reasons, as he is an ar
dent Democrat. The prosecution. he says, is
merely an attempt OF the Post Office authori-
ties to justify his dismissal by taking advan-
tage of his method of keeping his accounts.
His dismissal was made suddenly. without Civ.
ing him "A chance to balance his books. He ad-
mits that he keeps his accounts In a very in
tricate manner, and that one not familiar with
his methods might easily be led astray. 1t is
alleged that he made good $40 only, but he
says that the Government owes him $50 for
back pay and expenses.

Acting Chief OF Police McCullagh met his men
Yesterday and talked to them. Every precinct
commander was at Headquarters under orders.
What he said they didn't care to discuss. One
or two shrugged their shoulders and said that 1t
was the same old talk. Tho acting Chief was
scarcely more communicative.

we have to work with them. We arc dealing

McCullagh's manner was quiet, and anything
but aggressive. Those who know him well arc
convinced that he will demand a considerably
higher standard OF efficiency than has recently
prevailed, II only TO save himself from annoy
ance and criticism, and that especially he will
not tolerate any noisy sidcShows like that in the
Tenderloin. Inspector Brooks. whom he has
made Chapman's immediate superior. is of the
same mind. and for that re ,son, perhaps, as well
ms because Brooks visited the West Thirtieth
street station on FRIDAY night, the rumor be-
came current Yesterday that Chapman had al
ready been sat upon.
Acting Captain TITUS had n long conference
with acting Chief McCuilhgh, yesterday. and the
rumor that he will take OBricn's place in the
detective Office was revived. O'Bricn put him
out Of the detective office when he took charge.
and Titus put on n patrolman's coat and went
on post. His ability soon brought him to the
front. and he has been on the list for promotion
to II Captaincy for some time, There are many

MoNTCLAIR. y. j.. Aug. 2a.-There was q
lively time in the vicinity OF Harrison avenue.
Tichenor place. and Cedar street yesterday, re-
sulting from the erection OF poles for fire
alarm wires by tho local electric light company.
At : o'clock in the morning the laborers in the
employ of the company dug a number OF holes
for poles. and an hour later they were ready TO
set one In front OF the house of Mrs. Lester
Winck. who was bitterly opposed to having any
poles erected near her property.
When the men signitied their intention of
erecting the pole Mrs. Winck brought out a
chair. and placing it over the excavation calmly
sat down and refused to bulge. At noon q
servant brought lunch to her. and her supper
was served in the same manner.
At : o'clock in the evening the foreman in
charge of tho work resolved to try a little
strategy. and the result was the woman was
outwittcd. He went to the rear OF her char.
and. taking three PAGES TO the east, stopped.
ID here" he said, and the men set TO work.
Mrs. Winck grabbed her chair and ran 10 tho
place where the men were digging tho new
hole. As she did so the foreman arranged a
number OF other men around the old excavation
30 that the woman could not break through, and
the pole was quickly set.

James Common, n notary public, 63 years old,
living at 226 East l22d street, was held yestcr.
day in Harlem Court In $500 bail for cXamina-
ton on a charge Of furnishing fraudulent
naturalization papers TO Italians in the Har-
lem colony known as Little Italy. Acting Cap
tain Delaney was informed on Friday that
Italians living IN the colony were securing
such papers at small expense and set his dctcc-
tives, Reed and Nechan, at work on the case.
They found Rocco Romano, aged 40 years. OF
IA East ll5th street and got him to produce
his naturalization papers. The papers had
icon issued in the Court OF Common Pleas on
No. 10. 1898, and bore the signature Of County
CLERK II. d. Purroy. Romano admitted that
he had had the pa per but one day. The sigma
ture was apparently genuine. The Italians
name and the date seem to have been written
oyer something previously erased. Romano
said that he had purchased the document OF
Common for 50. He said that he had been led
to do so because several other Italians had Sc.
cured papers by paying small sums for them.
and had told him that this was the easiest way
to become u citizen. He said he met C,onnor
by appointment in a saloon at 2l9s Third ave
nue., where he purchased the papers as readily
as he would any other merchandise. 4,
Conner was promptly arrested and denied
that he had ever seen Romano. But the ltal-
ian persisted that he was the man. Magistrate
Pool committed ,Connor fer examination and

were originally correct. but. having %outlived
their usefulness by reason of the death or the
departure for Italy of the Italians to whom they
were issued had become articles OF merchan'
disc and have been made negotiable by the cras'
ure of original names and dates, while the i'm,

ElectinE the President.

The President of the United States is
elected today. The event of November 3,
poprlarly supposed to have settled the
question. was but mere preliminary, ac-
cording to the spirit of the Constitution a
preparatory polling of the people for the
seleC ton of certain citizens who were to
become the real agents of final choice
Those citizens, acting in their representa-
tive character, meet today in their sew
eral states, according to the act of 1887,
and Indicate what the Constitution con-
templated as their individual preferences
Tor the two high offices of President and
VICE President. In the lapse of time and
the growth of the system of government by
parties this expression of individual prefer
ence has come to be merely the recording
of party mandates. the echoing of the acts
of the conventions held in the summer.
Therefore, while this action today in the
various states is theoretically the supreme
exercise of the right of suffrage in fact it
Is of so little consequence save as a form.
that it passes almost without notice.

An Unaccepted Sacrifice

The Pacific Railroad officials and lobby

TO cause Congress TO compel the roads to
pay every penny of their Indebtedness under

the Indebtedness wholly or in part by at
tempting to foreclose. This noble devotion
of money and time to the public welfare at
the expense of their private interests Is a
surprise TO those who are unacquainted
with the public-spirited disinterestedness
which actuates Mr.. Huntington and his as
sociates- The vote of the House in oppo-
si;ion to the funding bill indicates that the
American people magnanimously refuse to

reaches him. When that work is out OF
the way-that is to say. when the legisla-
ture adjourns-then the governor will turn
the incumbents of the state offices under
his control as will insure the state r.
publican administration of affairs.
1t is suggested that Mr.. Mckinley, IN his
larger field, may adopt some such policy
as this. His administration will begin
with Congress in session, and great deal
Of legislative work of the highest import
ance on the cards. Both foreign and do
mestic questions will be pressing. 1t will
be necessary for him to follow the work
Of Congress closely. and even to assist in
shaping 1t. This while 1t lasts will leave
him but little if any time to devote to
the question Of distributing the patronage.
The cabinet places and the principal for
eign missions, will. of course. be promptly
filled with republicans, but 1t would Tn
duly tax even as experienced a man as
Mr. Mckinley to go into the general ques-
ton of patronage with Congress in ses-
sion and daily considering matters Of great
er and more general concern to the coun-
try.
1t is not doubted that Mr.. Mckinley in
dealing with those offices which are still
distributed on partisan grounds, will re-
tent of his opportunity. But that he could
do this with more certainty of choosing the
right men by having the necessary time
in which to consider the changes does not
appear to be open to question.
