Chattanooga, Tenn, May 13-Gen. JOS
eph Wheeler, who is in the city. in an in
terview yesterday, criticised Speaker Reed

Louisville. KY, May 13.-The resigna-

A POSTOFFICB ABUSE
TO Be CORRECTED
Presidential AppOiDtees Must
Attend to Business.
A Welcome Respite for the Over
worked Deputy.
Special Order Issued From the De-
partment Puts an End to Pro-
miscuOus Vacations.

1t has come to the attention of the Post
postoffices of many of the larger cities is
being transacted by the assistant postmas-
ters. Heretofore the postmasters have
been absenting themselves from their Of
fees and duties. whenever it suited their
convenience and pleasure. So general has
become this condition of affairs that the
following order has been sent out from the
Postoffice Department:
"Postmasters at Presidential postoitices
are requested to give their personal atten-
ton to the business of their offices and
must not absent themselves therefrom for
a longer period than one or two days with
out authority granted upon written appli-
cation to the department. A violation of
this order will be deemed sufficient cause
for removal"
The postoffice inspectors have been noti-
fled of the order and requested to report
all violations of its provisions. The fla
grancy and frequency with which postmas
tiers have neglected the duties of their Of
fees. has become unbearable and the or
der will be enforced with the greatest Sc
verify. IOStnaSttrS Will Dt Ttuuilcu "
perform their duties in all cases and un-
der all circumstances.
1t was stated at the Postofiice Depart
ment today that cases have frequently
come to the attention OF the officials where
postmaster has spent the entire sum
mer at some resort, leaving the duties CT
his Office to the several assistants. The
assistants not only have to perform their
own duties, but also these of the head OF
the Office. This is done without any ad-
ditional compensation. Frequently those
filling minor positions have remained at
their desks the entire summer without
single days recreation On account OF the
absence of the postmaster. Ii is not IN
tended by the Postmaster General TO re-
quire the postmasters to work all the
time, and all reasonable requests for va
cations will be granted, but their absence
must not interfere with the efficiency of
the office. Neither will a chief be allowed
to absent himself from his Office at time
when several minor officials are on vaca-
tiOp.

FOUGHT WITH A MADMAN.
Crnzed Negro Cook Attacks Retired
Pnymaster Reid.

Winsted. Conn. May 13.-Paymaster
Reid, CT the United States Navy. retired.
who is at his summer home at Sheffield.
was savagely attacked on Wednesday by
Thurston L. Jones, his negro cook.
Mr.. Reid. found Jones at the farm OF
Frank Curtiss and demonstrated with him
for being absent from his work. Jones got
angry, and. seizing Mr.. Reid by the throat.
threw him to the ground.
Jones is agile and muscular. while Mr..
Reid has passed his athletic days, SO that
it was an uneven struggle. The negro was
fast getting the better of his victim when
Mr. Reid succeeded in reaching a revolver
in his hip pocket and fired at Jones just
missing his neck.
The shot brought some OF the men work.
ing about the place, and after sharp
fired. the negro was overpowered and
bound. Constable John Baker took Jones
in a straitjacket to Great Darlington.
where he was pronounced violently insane
and was committed to the Northampton
Insane Asylum.
Jones is a negro Of marked ability, a
graduate of the Hampton Institute. and
has borne good reputation.
1t is thought that excessive application
to study. too much religious excitement.
and possibly disappointment in regard
to a certain girl to whom he has been at
tentive may have combined to cause his
insanity Paynaster Reid is still suffering
from the shock he received. Jones was
shot in the leg.

TRIED SUICIDE TWICE.
LOSS of Money Prompts Levy to XIII
Himself.

New York. May 13.-Louis Levy, who
said be was formerly a wealthy cigar
manufacturer in Pittsburg. Pa, but who is
now homeless and penniless. made two at
tempts to take his life, one on Thursday
in both instances, and is now in Jefferson
Market Prison.
Policeman James Mccormack was walk
ing through Madison Square Park soon af-
ter Il O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when
he heard two pistol shots from small
building in the park. Mccormack ran into
the building and found man lying on the
floor. with a pistol in his hand and a
wound in his left side. One of the shots
which the man had fired had gone wild.
Mccormick at once sent in call for an
ambulance from the New York Hospital.
The wounded man said his name was
Louis Levy. and that ne had been in New
York several months. He added that he
had been engaged in the manufacture of
cigars in Pittsburg, having gone there
from Mannheim. Germany, three years
ago but. coming to New York to visit
friends. he began to speculate, and soon
lost nearly all his wealth. He was COM
PEELED to sell his business in Pittsburg
and with the proceeds attempted to re-
gain his losses, but without success.
He finally became SO destitute that he
was compelled to sleep in Bowery lodging
houses. Thursday night he made up his
mind to end his life, having become des-
perate at his continued bad luck. He
turned on the gas in his room and was al
most unconscious when discovered by sew
eral men. who, carrying him into the opsn
air, managed to revive him.
Surgeon Shine took the man to the New
York Hospital. where it was found that
his wound was not serious. The bullet
was extracted from his side and he was
then taken to the West Thiriisth Street
police station. An hour later he was ar
raigned in jefferson Market Court.
Policeman Mccormack told Magistrate
Simms the circumstances of the case. The
magistrate expressed sympathy for the
unfortunate prisoner. who presented a
most forlorn appearance and seemed
greatly detected. but was not suffering
much from his wound.
Magistrate Simms said that he would
hold Levy in $1,000 bail for trial, but that
he would direct the attention Of some
charitable society TO the case of the pris-
oner.

THE GATHMANN SHELL TEST.
Its Inventor Satisfied of the Success
of the MuniIiOn.

New York. May 13.-The search for
remnants of the Gathmann shell and the
old Rodman 15-inch gun that was burst
under twenty feet OF sand at Sandy Hook
proving grounds on Tuesday was COM
pleted yesterday the finding satisfying In
ventor Gathmann and those associated
with him that the test was in every way
successful, and it proved that the claims
made for the efficiency OF the Gathmann
fuse are well founded.
Mr.. McMullen. who is one of Mr.. Gath
mann's associates. accompanied the inven-
tor. When they returned from Sandy
Hook this afternoon he brought with him
considerable quantities OF guncotton. part
of the 10o-pound charge of the shell which
had been recovered from the sand round
about where the guncotton had been driv-
en- into the sand with such force that it
was almost pulverized. and as it was re-
covered it seemed TO consist of almost as
much sand as guncotton. The base part OF
the bronze shell used for the experiment
was found. not much broken, in the
breech end of the gun. The Gathmann
people have the privilege OF using another
old Rodman gun for second test, but no
date has yet been fixed for this.

IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT.
Woman Could Not Make Payments
and WINS Locked Up.

and WINS Locked Up.
White Plains, N Y, May 13.-David H.
Hunt, her counsel. yesterday began
proceedings to obtain the release
from Jail OF Mrs. Susie S. Weeks.
who has been prisoner in a
cell here since April II last. The woman
was committed for contempt OF court by
Surrogate Theodore H. Silkman. the con-
tempt Of which she was held to be guilty
being her failure to pay S935.53, as di-
rected by decree OF the court.
Mrs. Weeks is the executrix Of the will
of her grandmother, Mrs. Loretta Slater.
She lives in Mount Vernon. She is the
wife of C. w. Weeks and the mother OF
three little children. In an affidavit she
says:
For more than two years have board
ed and clothed my grandfather. Alexander
Slater, and advanced him money. which
with his board. amounted to $1,000. The
legacy left him, amounted to $1,000, by
his wife's will, was assigned to my hus-
band, which was partly used in the pay
metn OF claims.
Il was amazed to learn by the decree of
the surrogate that had used the funds of
the estate and that the sums due me on
the legacy were lost. A receiver has since
been appointed and divested me of every
thing except little household furniture. l
am penniless. ! am unable to comply with
the order of the court directing the pay
ments of the moneys. There is no one to
care for my children
Mr. Hunt holds that the only amount
Mrs. Weeks can be held for. under court
of appeals decision. is S2i6.S0. He contends
that the proceedings are irregular in SO
far as the commitment directs the pay
ment of costs to lawyers, guardians. and
referees. and that the surrogate has no
power TO commit for contempt in such
cases,

DEATH OF AN ABLE swNDLER.
4 California Man Charged With For

San Francisco. Cal. May ia death
notice in San Jose paper. copied from
an Ohio exchange. announcing the death Of
George C. Hughes of consumption at Day
ton. Ohio, on May 10. was the first infor
nation that has been obtained of the
whereabouts OF the snterprisng individual
who disappeared quietly one morning in
April. 1894, from the pretty little city Of
Roses. leaving many victims of his frau
dulent manipulations. from whom he filch-
ed about 81. coo. Hughes was trusted
real estate agent and notary of San Jose
before his dishennor was discovered. Then
it was found that his method was to go
to some man with money to loan and pre-
tend that he had borrower. Later he
would return with forged notes and mort
cages. on which he would secure loans
and pocket the proceeds. On April II. 1894.
while he was absent from the city sup
posedly on a visit TO a neighboring town ii
was discovered that the signatures on
document filed by him with the county re-
corder purportiag TO be q release of a
mortgage were forgeries. Publication of
the facts in the case caused many OF his
patrons and their lawyers to make a search
of their own accounts. The result was 4
revelation, for instead OF his having prac-

FLED FROM DELUSIONS.
Miss Barlow. Daughter of New
York Artist. STRANGELY Disappears.

York Artist. strangely Disappears.
New York, May 13.-Aliss Airline Bar
low, daughter of Nicholas l.. Barlow, who
was a well-known artist, caused her moth
er and friends much anxiety yesterday by
disappearing. Although the police were
notified promptly by Mrs. Barlow. no trace
of the young woman was found from 10
O'Clock in the forenoon until O'Clock at
night. when a telegram from Miss Barlow
was received by the proprietor of the Ho-
tel st. Marc where the Bar!ows had ben
staying, saying that she was on a Fail
River boat, bound for Boston, and would
stop at $50 Washington Street, in that
city. A dispatch from Boston says that at
this number there is nothing except bust
ness offices.
Miss Barlow is an artist who does por-
trait and tapestry work. She is twenty
five years old and highly educated. Mrs.
Barlow said that her daughter recently
had been acting queerly, and had delu
sions. One of these was that thousands of
enemies were pursuing her. She is said
to have remarked several times that she
must go to Albany and ask Governor
Roosevelt to call out the troops and order
them TO drive her enemies away.
Mrs. Barlow said that she had consulted
a physician, and that he had advised send
ing the young woman TO a sanitarium but
she hoped the delusions would pass away.
and kept her daughter with her. Thinking
that a change Of surroundings would be of
benefit the apartments in the st. Marc, in
which they had lived all winter. were Civ
en- up and the two women went 10 the
Savoy Thursday evening.
Nothing unusual was noticed in the be-
havior of the younger woman by the pa
irons or employees of the Savoy, and the
two left there at nine O'Clock in the fore
noon.
They went to visit Mrs. Cox who has an
apartment in the Windermere. in West
Ffty-seventh Street.
While her mother was talking with Mrs
Cox Miss Barlow quietly slipped out into
the hall, ran down stairs and was out of
sight by the time the others reached the
street. Mrs. Barlow told me that her
daughter was traced TO the foot of Fifty
seventh Street and the North River. and
south as far as Forty second Street where
the clew was lost.
Miss Barlow was described as fair. with
light hair. She is about five feet six
inches in height, is slender and has large,
expressive gray eyes. When she left the
Windermere she wore tailor-made gown
of dark green, a large black lace hat a
blue macintosh with shcrt cape. and a
lace cape, belonging to a daughter OF Mrs.
Cox.
Mrs. Barlow was Frustrated when she
discovered that her daughter had fed.
When she recovered somewhat she went to
the West Forty-seventh Street police sta
tion and reported the disappearance. De-
tectives Lockwood and Sheehan were de-
tailed on the case, but they had no definite
news of the young woman until the pro-
prietor of the St Mare notified police head
quaretrs of the receipt of the telegram.
