AGAINST A CONSTABLE.
John A. Chapman Makes Complaint
Concerning 5. B. Callahan


John A. Chapman. Assistant Superinten-
dent of the Railway Mail Service, has filed
charges in the Office of Attorney General
Griggs, against s. B. Callahan, Constable
for G. S. Bundy, Justice of the Peace,
charging him with highly improper con-
duct. The matter has been referred by
the Attorney General to the United States
Attorney for the District of Columbia Hen
ry E. Davis, for investigation
In his letter TO Attorney General Griggs.
dated July %, Mr.. Chapman says that as
the result of a suit against himself and
wife for $3.50, for the sale of house, Con-
stable Callahan was deputiZed 10 serve
certain paper upon Mr. Chapman and his
wife. In reference to the sale of the prop
erty the complainant states that Gala
han did not make ii or have anything to
do with it. Then, speaking OF the consta-
BILE, Mr. Chapman says ''he is overzealous
and has neither judgment nor conscientious
scruples'' In his effort to serve the pro-
cess upon his wife Mr.. Chapman says
Callahan acted ungentlemanly, and ended
by making a false return of the service. To
suhstantiate his story of making a proper
service of the process, Mr.. Chapman states
that Callahan reported that Mrs. Chapman
received the papers, she being in her bath
room at the time. when, as a matter Of
fact, Mrs Chapman did not receive the
papers at all
An affidavit OF Mrs. Chapman and her
mother-in in-law accompanies the letter OF
Mr. Chapman, declaring that the process
referred to was not served on Mrs. Chap
man by the constable.

A MAN AFTER HER JOB.
Miss Martha Partfngton Fears She
VIII ne Displaced.

New York, Aug 10.--Miss Martha Part
ington. who since Brooklyn became a part
of the Greater New York has filed the po-
sition of assistant clerk in the Court OF
Special Sessions at yearly salary of
81 500, has been made to feel very unhappy
by the information that man is after her
place, and that she will probably be re-
moved.
There was no civil service competition
for the position when Miss Partington got
it, but the White law, il is said, calls for
one, and she has been given to understand
that there are many stenographers Of the
opposite sex who viii enter the competi-
tion which has been ordered. The most
prominent Of her opponents, she has learn
ed. is a young lawyer, whose father is a
district leader with a big pull.
He wants my place." she said today,
but / guess he'll have to wait. Oh, don't
] wish / was voter Just wait until we
women are recognized at the polls. Wait
until / get my influence from up the State
to bear. / know they trying to take
my place away from me-"
When she first entered upon her pres
ent and well performed duties, Miss Part
ington discovered that there was no place
for her. She made use of one of the desks
that had beer used by an alderman. In
this improvised box she slowed her head
gear until the Municipal Assembly di-
rected that a proper receptacle be con-
strueted. She was forced TO appeal to this
body, as the alderman in question had re-
fused TO surrender TO her the key to his
desk She says she is not afraid to enter
competitive examination for her present
position.
The times., 1899-08-11

Thomas e. Neenan, Consul at Odessa,
writes to the State Department as follows
about the failure of crops in southern
Russia:
THE failure of the crops in many of
the provinces of European Russia is
much more serious affair than is generally
admitted Nowhere has it been more COM
plete than in the province of Chersen,
which has within its borders the two
largest exporting ports in the Russian
Empire-Odessa and Nicolaiev. During
the famine year of 1892, this province
suffered severely, though not as much as
at present. The famine year found the
peasant farmers without any reserve stock
of grain, and consequently without seed
for future sowing or the means of SUBJ
sistence until the next harvest.
Their distress, however, had been pro-
yided for by the erection of storehouses
in the peasant villages, in which every
house owner had been obliged to place
certain quantity of grain for eventual
public alimentation. Later on, the system
was found TO be inconyenient, and the
grain was sold and the proceeds invested
in interest bearing bonds. Thus was
formed the so-called fund for the public
alimentation. During the critical condi-
ton of affairs in 1885, the administrations
of the districts purchased grain and dis
tributed it to the peasants At cost price
for food and sowing purposes. and time
was stipulated for the repayment OF this
relief
This year a conference has been called
in this province (Chersen) to take meas
ures to deal with the situation. The ques-
tions 10 be considered are the degree OF
failure in each district separately, the
seed necessary for sowing the fields, the
amount OF Government assistance which
will be required during the year. and the
amount of cash in the public alimentation
and other funds at the disposal of the ad-
ministrations for relief purposes The
amount OF food supplies and funds on hand
and available is quite large, amounting TO
more than 1000. 900 roubles Isl 1,O2s, ,u00) at
1 the present time. These funds will be ap-
piled to the purchase OF grain for seed
and also to the relief of distress.
In addition to these funds, the prov
ince has another means at its disposal
which will largely help to alleviate suf-
fering This is the organization of public
works. A special fund has been kept in
this province for the purpose of giving
employment 10 Peasants under circum-
stances which the present year presents.
The fund for the purpose is not large; still,
II will be of service. The roadmaking
fund will also be brought into requisition.
Russian rural roads are perhaps the worst
in the world, and Russian military roads
the best.
"A very important question to be solved
| is how the working stock and other ami
mails are to be saved, the hay crop being
complete failure. Hay and fodder are
now at sucn prices as to be beyond the
reach CT the peasant farmer. Horses and
oxen are being sold far below their value
and evidences OF great distress are visi-
bic even al the beginning OF summer. Stock
raisers who are among the rlore wealthy
classes are selling their stock for what
they can get. 1t is not an easy task to
sell, and the supply is constantly increas-
/ ing"
