An OLD CLAIM REVIVED.
BILL INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
FOR RELIEF OF SEATTLE MAN.
simon VI. Preston Asks to he REIN

ernment-EHort Being Made to
Create National Rogues' Gallery.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intellieencer
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The bill In
troduced by Representative Jones for
the relief OF Simon NJ Preston, OF Seattle
revlves a claim which was first presented
to congress in the Forty-third congress.
Mr.. Preston served with honor during the
civil war, and was appointed by President
Grant as collector of internal revenue for
the First district of Mississippi He held
that office from the first day OF June, 1859,
TO the twenty second day of May, 1873.
One of his deputies was a man named ID.
G. Kearns. who collected taxes and gave
receipts for various sums amounting TO
about $500. This sum Preston was fore
ed to make good to the United States.
kearns was arrested. tried and convicted,
sentenced to twelve months imprison-
ment and to pay a fine OF SIS. S3S36. which
was the amount of his defaicaton, less
the value OF certain personal property
which he surrendered to Collector Pres
ton at the time OF his arrest.
Soon after the conviction and sentence
of Kearns, a petition was presented TO
the president by personal friends for his
pardon, which was so strongly urged that
President Grant was persuaded to release
Kearns from all the consequences of his
crime, both fine and Imprisonment
kearns. however. never paid any part of
the sum embezzled by him. Preston
brought suit against Kearns' bondsmen,
only to find that they had no visible prop
erty. Preston also suffered from the dis
honesty of another deputy named ID. II.
Alexander. who carried OF sa32 81. which
Preston also made good to the govern
ment.

Extensive Skin Grating.

Chicago, December 5.-At the
bedside of little Felix Machut twelve
boys today barred their left arms and
allowed surgeons to slice from two
to four inches of skin from their
arms directly over the biccps. This
was cngraftcd upon the thigh of
Machut, where previously pocket
had been cut into the skin and the
hand inserted. In all thirty. seven
inches of skin was removed from the
boys arms and planted on the wound
in Machuts hip. This case is one of
the most successful and extensive
attempts at skin grating on record.
When Mnchuts hand was injured,
in order to avoid amputation, a
pocket was cut in the unfortunate
lads hip and the land sewed in. In
three weeks the hand took on flesh
enough to cover The bones and re-
naming muscles, and an advertise
mcnt brought the boys to the opcrat-
ing table to furnish the skin to cover
the wound in the hip. The boys
were given SO an inch for the skin
taken from their arms.

No Scarlet Fever at Newry.

The Charleston News and Courier
of December 5th says: Capt. Will
liam A. Courtcnay, President of the
Ncwry Cotton Mills, at Newry, S.
c., is in Charleston on business. He
will, however, remain in the city for
several days and will be the orator
at the semi. centennial celebration of
Landmark Lodge, A. f. NJ, next
Monday evening
While on his way to Charleston
Capt. Courtenay had rather novel
experience. He had noticed in the
train from Columbia great number
of Clemson cadets and thinking
rightly that this was rather early for
the holidays to begin, asked one of
the young men the cause of the
movement TO his great surprise
the cadet said that the college had
been evacuated on account Of scarlet
fever.
"Have you many cases at the col
lcgc ?" was asked.
"Only one case at the college,"
answered the cadet, "but there arc
over hundred cases at Ncwry, not
far from Clemson"
Capt. Courtenay was not prepared
for an answer like this and it was a
few minutes before he realized the
