turn the Jewels for $1,000. and if he did
not get the 81. .01D then Mr. Edwards little

Hon. w. r. Vaughan, of Washington,
manager aud treasurer of the Peerless
Manufacturing Company, returned last
night from the East, having visited Provi-
dence, Boston. New York. and other East
ern cities. where he has practically con-
summated S5,O5o.O0O trust for the manu-
featuring of artificial legs in this and for
eign countries.
He claims that such a trust will help
the leglesS old soldiers, as there are only
some ten meritorious legs on the market
in the world and Il combined management
would be authorized to choose the better
parts of each invention and thus make
a superior limb And as this. as well as
nearly all Governments allow SO every
three years to their legless ex-soldiars
for a new limb. it can be readily seen
that a trust of this kind will not only
benefit the afflicted but be very profitable
TO the owners. Such a combination would
put the best skilled worsmen from all
of the factories under one control
Mr.. Vaughan says General Sckles has
refused for thirty years to wear an ar
titcial leg. but he so well pleased
with the Peerless leg that he was meas
ured and gave an order to Mr. Vaughan
for one.
II is claimed that at a low estimate
there are over 1000 legless people in
Washington alone.

A FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT.
William sullivan Seriously Assault
ed by His Wife mud n Man.

Bieeding from a number of wounds in
his head, William Sullivan, well known to
the police of the Eighth precinct, was
taken to Freedman's Hospital in a patrol
wagon yesterday afternoon. About
o'clock No. = police station was notified
by telephone of fight of a serious ma
ture that was going on in Sullivan's home,
IA Irving Street northwest, between the
head of the house, his wife. and Patrick
Farrell. Policemen Bremmerman and NC
Donald were Immediately sent to investi-
gate, and when they arrived at the Sulli-
van home things looked serious. The
walls of the house were despatched with
blood chairs were broken, pictures
smashed, and the house generally appear
ed as if it had been struck by a tornado.
Sullivan was lying upon the floor in a
pool of blood, while Farrell was standing
over him beating him with chair leg
and kicking him in the face. Mrs. Sulli-
van was also taking an active part In the
light. She was. it is said, holding her
almost unconscious husband while Far
rell belabored him.
Mcdonald and Rremmerman separated
the combatants, and seeing the serious
condition of the injured man, called for
the patrol wagon.
During the fight the seven-year-old son
of the Sullivans stool by until he saw his
father fall to the floor from a stunning
blow delivered by Farrell with n chair
leg. He then gave vent to his fright in
piercing screams, which were responded
to by the neighbors.
While waiting for the arrival of the
wagon the policemen had their hands full
in keeping Farrell from still fighting Sui
Ivan. The injured mans condition was
appalling to behold. His face was bat
tered and besmeared and his clothing was
saturated with blood. The hands of his
wlfe were also stained.
When the wagon arrived Sullivan was
driven rapidly to Freedmans Hospital
where only the prompt and efficient work
OF the surgeons saved his life. Bridget
Sullivan, Patrick Farrell, and James
Ryan were taken to the Eighth precinct
station and locked up. Farrell is charged
with assault and battery, and Ryan and
the woman with vagrancy. When the in
Jured man condition permits he will be
arrested. charged with conducting a dis
orderly house.
When searched at the station house Pa
trolman Lord found razor on the per-
son of Farrell. Sullivan alleges Farrell
used the razor upon his face several
times. The two men Were placed in sepa-
rate cells and the woman sent to the
House of Detention with her seven-year-
old son. 1t is the intention of the police
authorities to have the boy turned over
TO the Board of Children's Guardians.

REWARDS FOR PARTY WORKERS
Some Important Offices Expected 10
Change Hands soon

In well informed Republican circles the
statement Is made that many changes will
take place among the higher officials as
their commissions expire. The men who
took an active part in the Presidential
campaign last year. 1t is said. will be re-
warded with appointments in the Federal
service. The changes viii be among that
class of positions the terms of which ex-
pire in four years. The first important
change " this kind was made in the Chi
cago postofiice. when Postmaster Gordon
made way for another Republican. This
rule will, it is said apply to number of
good positions in the departments here.
Among the first probable changes will be
the Interior Department.
Inc fact that a number of prominent
republicans, including ex-senator Carter
oil Montana, have recently written Presi-
ueht mckinley urging the retention of
Binger Hermann as Commissioner of the
General Land Office. gives color 70 the
report that the Commissioner will soon
make way for successor From what
could be learned yesterday it seems
there exists considerable friction between
Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner
Hermann. This friction, it is said, dates
back several months
Commissioner Hermann's tenure of Of
flee will expire shortly. and it is the
knowledge that he is not on the best
terms with the Secretary of the Interior
that has caused the Commissioner s
friends to come to the front and try to
save him. The man mentioned yesterday
as the probable Successor to Com
missioner Hermann is William r. Mer-
riam, Director of the Census. 1t is point
ed out that Director Merriam is thor
oughly acquainted with the land laws.
and is in every way qualified to fill the
office and that his appointment would be
satisfactory to the Western interests
a friend of Director Merriam said yes
terday that the position of Commissioner
of the General Land Office would be con-
genial, although the salary is not as large
as that of the Director of Census. But
there is this difference to compensate
the opportunities for appointment are
less. II was also pointed out that there
is to be a large reduction in the force of
clerks employed in the Census in the near
future, and in order to escape the wrath
to come Director Merriam would not hesl-
tate to accept the Commissionership of
the General Land Office If it is rendered
to him. Whether Director Merriam is to
be Commissioner Hermann'S successor
or not it seems to he generally accepted
that charge in the Land Office Will soon
be made.
1t is said there are n number of appli-
cants for the Office. There seems to be
no doubt but that a Western man will
be appointed, as in recent years all the
Commissioners have come from that sec
tion.
