the Charge, or THAT She Is Mar
ried.

There are interesting developments on
the tapis in the War Department A young
lady IL is alleged, will soon become a
mother aud her condition being brought to
the attention Of the head officials she has
been cited before them to disclose the fact
as TO whether she has been married OF a
case Of loving not wisely but too we'll II
Is claimed by her friends that her husband
Is also a department employe, and that she
rs coucealing the fact to prevent the dis
charge of either himself or her own de-
capitation. She Indignantly denies that
she Is eycfeHfe, and-is equally emphatic
that she is not married
The officials are NoNPLUSsED, for while
the outward evidence tends to confirm the
statements OF those who are unfriendly to
the young lady that she is in an interesting
condition the officials can take no decisive
action on a presumption which may turn
out groundless, thereby irreparably injur-
ing her character And certainly even the
Civil Service law invests them with no
authority to order a medical examination
and If il did II is not at all likely the young
lady would submit 10 such an indignity and
such an impntatiou upon her chastity.
1t is serious and at the same time some
what Of a ludicrous situation of affairs, the
clerks in the secret being evenly divided as
to her condition, with the officials holding
of awaiting developments.
What a commentary this monstrous sus-
piCion Of virtue presents in the female de-
partment life of Washington Here is a
young lady more than probably entirely in :
uocent, yet under the reports circulated she
is made to blushingly deny the charge and
in order to hold her job is barred from sue
ing the slanderers as well as those who dare
question her on such delicate subject to a
maiden's ears. If it turns out that the sus-
picions are we'll founded it is again more
than probable that the victim now under
such strain can produce a marriage GER

possibly can TO her position and will only

him aud faithfully observing his oath Of
Office as disbursing clerk of the Bureau.
Aud II was because Of this conscientious
observance that Mr.. O'Conuell excited the
determined resolution Of Austin and Allies
to get rid of him by hook or by crook. They
have temporarily succeeded by this latter
method, but the end is not yet Mr. Allies
iunketing trip to Europe was an assign
ment OF convenience for certain purpose
which will be disclosed before a proper in
vestigating committee. Mr.. O'Connell was
compelled as disbursing officer to pay the
Allies bill Aud It is a beauty A California
iunketing trip and frequent New York trips
were also paid by order of Austin.
In the daily press accounts Of the dis
mssal Of Mr.. O'Counell, as furnished by
Austin and Allies, it is alleged that Mr..
O'Connell withdrew his charges against
these two public servants after filing them.
This is a falsehood As is also the puerile
allegation that Secretary Gage found after
investigation that Mr.. O'Connell was no
longer competent to perform the duties Of
his position in the statistical bureau. Mr.,
O'Connell had been performing these
duties when Gage was watchman in Chicago
and Allies and Austin we're barefooted
urchius in Ohio. THE proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating, saith the proverb.
While OConnel was at the head of the
statistics there were no errors in the Presi-
dents messages to Congress or in the docu-
ments furnished the public
When O'Couuell was removed the errors
became numerous and so serious as to at
tract attention everywhere. The great
Austin AID the greater Allies, the one
statistician and the other a fuancier have
suddenly grown upin a night as authorities
in their respective vocations, but the prac-
teal and experienced Government statis-
tciau, thirty-six years in the bureau, is dis.
credited repudiated, and dismissed, while
these two Mark Hanna strikers pose after
couple of years experience as pap suckers
and junketers and correspondents of Eng
lish financial and statistical publications (at
so much peri before the American public
as the infallible and authoritative heads,
tails and whole things of their respective
departments IN the Treasury
As intmated. the charges Mr. O'COnnell
is prepared to establish are of a graver
character than the matter set forth in this
article. He has documents and data which
placed before an impartial investigating
committee will not only call for the official
heads Of Allies and Austin, Mark Hanna's
henchmen, but which will create profound
sensation throughout the country on higher,
more lofty and more aspiring individuals
than either Allies or Austin. By all means

A NICE SCHEME
In the Commissioners OF Pensions
ONCE For FavOrites.

wAsHrNeroN, D. c., FEB. 7, 1901.
CORrade Elliott:
want to call your attention to a matter
that hope you can have corrected, and
that will do the comrades some good In
the Legislative Bill which has been reported
to the House, the pay for 6fty.eight prin-
cipal examiners of the Pension Bureau at
$4,000 per year is provided for, as usual.
OF these ffty-eight twenty-seveu are dis
tributed through the Office in soft places,
and not on the Board Of Review. where
they belong In 1883 Commissioner Dudley
asked for an appropriation for twenty prin-
cipal examiners at $4,000 per annum who
should be experts to act as rereviewers on
the Board Of Review, and they were ap-
pointed as such. Since then the number
has been increased to fifty eight, and they
served as such until Lochran put some of
them in soft places, and now Evans has
put his friends in soft places to the number
Of twenty-seven, and to take their places
clerks at 81 400 and 81, 500 have been
detailed on the Board. Many of these
men, il sent to the Board, would
be reduced and sent back to their
desks as examiners, as incompetent.
Notably among them is a clerk in the hrst
deputy 3 room ana one IN the chleA CLERK >
room. The latter's heaviest work Is to
swear in the promoted clerks. If you have
any influence with members of Congress to
get chem to secure the addition of the
words, who shall be paid only when serv-
ing on the Board Of Review, 4" following the
appropriation for their pay, you will do
good work You have been the -means of
having one of them. who made the twenty
eight, and had charge of the attorneys

that should be corrected, Truly yours,

There has been no department Of the ad-

difficulty in gaining admission to the
county jail here when she appeared at

Biggar was kept in detention in the

4 sTEERABLE BALLOON.
Successful Experiment of the New Air
ship of Lebaudy Brothers.

Nantes. France, Nov. SIT has been
known for some time past that the
brot hers Pierre and Paul Lebaudy and
an engineer named Julliot have been
constructing a steerable balloon, but
such secrecy has been observed that lit
tie or nothing has been published about
the new flying machine.
The first trial of the new machine
took place yesterday near Bonnieres,
where the airship was constructed The
balloon ascended to a height of about
twenty yards, with two persons in the
car. 1t was prevented from going high
er by ropes, and the motor drove the
airship against a stiff breeze. After
manoeuvres lasting half an hour, dur
ing which several circles of the park
where the experiment was conducted
were made, the airship was replaced in
its shed. Engineer Julliot, who had
charge Of the motor, was completely
satisfied with the test, but would say
nothing further
The Lebaudy balloon is similar in ap-
pearance to, but twice the size of, those
of NJ. Satnos-D -Dumont. 1t is 81 1-2 yards
long and II yards in diameter The
car is 1-2 yards long and can hold
three persons. The propeller is driven
by motor of forty horse power and
at yesterdays trial the balloon seemed
to move at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour. The owners Of the new air
ship are anxious to avoid publicity con-
cerning it until it has made a trip from
Bonnieres to Paris and return.

SCHWAB'S CONDITION..
Denies Sensational storIea-Mereiy Ex-
hausted from Overwork.

Paris. Nov. 4-The Paris edition of
the New York Herald publishes a dis
patch from its Genoa correspondent
giving an interview with Charles NJ.
Schwab, who sailed from there to-day.
Mr.. Schwab denies the sensational stor-
les regarding his condition which have
been published in American newspapers.
He says he is merely exhausted from
Overwork and that he is strictly obey
ing his doctors orders. He says he may
be no better, but is certainly no worse.
The correspondent says that excepting
for a tired look in his eyes and a slight
langour in his movements, there is
nothing in Mr.. Schwab's appearance to
suggest any grave trouble.
The steam yacht Margarita, with Mr..
Schwab and his family on board,
reached Cannes yesterday.
The Herald this morning publishes
also a signed statement from DR.. Robin,
Mr.. Schwab's physician in Paris, say
ing that all his patients organs are
sound and in eXcellenr condition, and
that he only needs rest in order to be
able to take up the burden of his busi-
ness as formerly. DR.. Robin says fur
ther that Mr.. Schwab's intellectual ac-
tiVity is in no way impaired.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Ellis H. Rob
erts, treasurer of the United States, in
opening his annual report, says that
the magnitude Of the available cash
balance and the unprecedented holdings
of gross gold are the striking features
Of the condition of the treasury at the
close of the fiscal year, 1902 The net
ordinary revenues for the year were
s562, ATS, 2S3, and the expenditures SAIL
190,S5T, showing a surplus of $s1, ,2S7, 1916.
In comparison with the previous year
there was a decrease Of $25,20I104 In
the revenues, offset by falling off Of
$3S, 776, 495 In the expenditures. while
there was an increase of SIS, 252 in
the receipts from customs, the internal
revenues, under the operation of new
laws repeating the war taxes fell off
$35,300,54l. There was a dectease OF
$32, Sal in expenditures on account
of the war department and an increase
of 1926 149 in the cost of the navy. The
total receipts of the year from all
sources, including the public were ST.
062, 124, OBJ, and the disbursements $685.
So, ,041 United States notes and treas
ury notes were redeemed in gold to the
amount of $l7, 7,432, 500 OF the former and

preceding increased by $19S44. 151. The
net result is an excess of receipts OF

Co-0PERATIVE COAL ASSN.
Mass Meeting Of citlxons Decided ID
= Organize.

Organize.
An enthusiastic mass meeting of res
idents Of the city, but principally from
the Ninth ward, was held in Pohlman's
hall last night and hv unanimous vote
II was decided to organize and incor-
porate what is to be known as the New
Haven Coal Cooperative association.
The purpose of this new association as
may be inferred from the title Is topur-
chase and market coal to the citizens
Of New Haven at the lowest possible
figure. The occasion for such a desire
arose. it is said. from the claim that
there is a coal dealers association in
the city and that they control the scale
of prices and have no competition. Be
this as 1t NAV from the expressions at
last nights meeting sne new organiza-
tion will soon be a reality. The meet
ing was the outgrowth Of g. small gath
ering held last Monday night In the
same hall when committee Of fivemen
mostly residents Of the Ninth ward, was
appointed to investigate the feasibility
of such a plan. This committee has
spent some time and have among other
things visited the water front with a
view of ascertaining the possibility of
securing wharf or dock. While the
committee reported the result Of their
Investigations last night they did not
state that a prominent resident Of the
city who owns q wharf has agreed to
give the use Of 1t free gratis to the new
company. This will save the expense of
purchasing suitable one, and the only
expense necessary will be that of the
erection of derricks.
After much discussion it was voted
that committee of seven be appointed
to secure signatures OF those desiring to
subscribe for stock, and to arrange any
other details for the securing Of a char
ter and the perfection of the organiza-
tion.
1t is proposed that the shares be 81
each and that no one person be allowed
to purchase more than 100 shares. This
committee consists Of the Rev. Alexan-
der Irvine, ex-Alderman Harry Dono-
van, William Horan, William Trueman,
Frederick Margetson, Alfred Chadwick,
and William Sliney. This committee at
once began work securing signatures
and before they left the hall over 200
residents Of all parts of the, city had
signed.
1t is the intention to hold another
meeting next Monday night in the.
same hall at which time it will be stat
ed that the purpose is to organize with
capital of $25,OoO. Subscriptions win
then be called for and when a suff1-
cient amount has been paid in charter
will be asked for and the final organiza-
tion proceeded with.
At the meeting last night the hall was
packed almost to suffocation and about
two hundred were unable to gain admit
tance.
