OFFICIAL
CHANGES
Some Clerks Step Out
While Others Take
New Places. +

At the close of office hours yesterday,
Harry e. Murray retired from the Pub
lie Works clerkship that he had held
for fourteen months. In the position
he was popular with people doing BUSH
ness with the department. having al
ways been attentive and courteous at
the public counter. A strong evidence
of the esteem of citizens held by him
was furnished by Mr.. Murray's cleo
ton as county clerk under the County
Act that happened to be void. His re-
tirement is caused solely by the cutting
down of the departments clerical staff
in the scheme of economy ratified by
the Legislature in special session. Mr..
Murray will attend to his carriage
making business.
Pierre Jones, who served for several
years rs, clerk in the engineering divi-
sion of the Public Works department,
retired from the same cause, he having
always given satisfaction to the sue
cessive heads of the division, about
n week ago.
NJ. T. Lyons, who retired from the
position of bookkeeper in the Treas
urer's Office when the reduction of staff
took place there recently. will be COM
missoned as chief clerk In the Land
office succeeding Stephen Mahaulu,
whenever he furnishes a bond in $l5.-
900 required by Commissioner Pratt.
He has been employed on the Land
office books since leaving his former
position.
Henry Peters will succeed S. X. Ka-
as land patent clerk.
Miss Kate Kelley. whose resignation
of the chief clerkship in the Secretary's
office was rendered to take effect yes
terday, remains at her desk matter OF
ten days more to complete records.
Her successor will not be authorita-
lively announced at present. Miss Kel-
ley was confidential stenographic clerk
to President Dole under the Republic
of Hawaii and with the starting of the
Territory passed by an easy transition
into the office of the Secretary, where
she was chief of n considerable staff
that compiled the archives for n long
period. The results of this work are
to be seen in shelves full of typewriter
volumes bound and back-titled. Miss
Kelley was the appointed news medi-
UNI between the old executive council
and the press reporters, in which cap
acity her courtesy and intelligent as
sistance are gratefully remembered by
those of the old guard still on deck.

SAID THE FLOOD LIGHT
CAUSED THE DISASTER.
Explanation of the Belief That an
Explosion Occurred.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-William McMullen,
manager of the spot" light, which
Is alleged to have caused the fire in
the Iroquois Theater. testified at the
hearing before Fire Inspector Fulker-
son to-day that the spot light had
nothing to do with it.
He said the fire was caused by the
heat from the flood light used to
food" the theater.
McMullen said his spot light was
turned out when the fire started. He
said he was looking up at the flood
light and saw the fiimsy border blow
directly over the flood light. The heat
frim this light, he alleges. caused the
fire.
The city electrician followed with
testimony that the heat from the
flood light was sufficient to cause the
fire.
James ]. Hamilton, a scenery Shift
err, explained what seemed to many at
the fire to be an explosion.
Five minutes after the fire start
ed" said he, "the big set piece in
the shape of fan, used as a finale
in the second act fell forty feet to
the stage. The piece was studded with
$50 incandescent lamps and weighed
several hundred pounds. The noise of
its fall and the breaking lamps gave
forth the sound of an explosion"

Chickamauga, 1.-THE great battle of the
West" was fought. In that desperate
action with Rosecran's army Long
street held the left wing of the Con-
federate army At p. m. Bragg seems
to have thought that the battle was
lost, and even at night seems to have
been in some doubt about the issue.
Writing to Gen. D. H. Hill in July.
1864, Longstreet said: at did not oc
cur to me on the night of the goth to
send Bragg word of our complete sue
cess. l thought that the loud huzzas
that spread over the field Just at dark
We're a sufficient assurance and notice
to any one within five miles of us"
Subsequently Gen. Longstreet was
delached TO capture Knoxville, but
found it too strongly fortified to be
taken by assault. Early in 1864 he re-
Joined Lee, and was wounded by the
fire of his own troops in the battle of
the Wilderness.

tablished his residence In New Or

OBITUARY..
Princess MathiIde Bonaparte.


Paris, Jan. 1.-The Princess Ma
thilde, only daughter of Prince Je-
rome Bonaparte, died at o'clock this
evening.
The death of Princess Mathilde has
caused sorrow throughout France, not
only because she was one OF the last
OF the Bonapartes, but because she was
always known as the good Princess. q"
Count Fleury once told this story Of
her:
"A little cousin of the Princess asked
her, DO you know that through Queen
Catherine, you are related to almost all
of the reigning houses of Europe?
THE Princess answered: Ills good;
It's good. But what is that beside be-
ing the niece of Napoleon?
Prince Jerome Bonaparte arranged a
marriage between his daughter and
Louis Napoleon, but without success.
The pretender who later became EN-
peror caused the breaking off of the
match, and this rupture was followed
by Princess Mathilde's marriage to
Count Demidof, rich Russian. While
they were in st. Petersburg Emperor
Nicholas conceived a great affection
for the Princess and gave her a decree
of divorce when she was no longer able
to live with her husband.
During the presidency of Louis Ma
poleon Princess Mathilde managed his
house and dispensed the honors, retir
ing gracefully to her personal studies
when Louis Napoleon married. Dur
ing that epoch she was regarded as
one of the most beautiful women in
France, combining as she did the
French type of beauty with Italian Vi
Vacity.
Since the fall of the empire Princess
Mathilde has maintained a salon in
Paris, which was frequented by celeb
rites of the art. literary and military
worlds and by diplomats and foreign
princes

BONDS OF TWENTY
WERE REDUCED

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Twenty men ar
rested in connection with the Iroquois
Theater tragedy were arraigned before
Justice Caverly in the Harrison street
Police Court to-day on a charge of
manslaughter. Five of the defendants
were members of the chorus of the
Mr.. Bluebeard" Company and were
defended by Attorney Thomas Hogan.
No testimony was given in court and
it was Immediately agreed that a con-
tinuance be granted.
Most of the time was devoted 10
an effort by the attorney to have
the bonds of his clients reduced from
the $1,000 in which they had been
held. In the end the bonds in each
cas@ were reduced to $1,000. and the
cases placed on the calendar for hear
ing, Jan. IL.
Attorney Hogan told the magistrate
that his clients had nothing to do with
the management, construction or hand
ling of the scenery. He said they con-
tinued singing even after the audience
became panic stricken in vain effort
to allay the fear of the frightened au-
dience,

general movements of the Federal
army, and the preparations to give
US battle. His information prov
ed more accurate than he would have
expected had we been relying upon our
cavalry" The scout, in fact, gave the
details of the movements that soon
after led up to the three days despe-
rate fighting at Gettysburg. Gen. Long
street commanded the left wing on this
bloody field. Before the second days
battle, he and Gen. Lee stood on the
summit of Seminary Ridge watching
the national troops concentrate on the
opposite hill. Both men were using
their glasses. After a few minutes
Longstreet is reported to have advised
his COMMUNICATIVE chief to throw our
army around by their left and inter-
pose between the Federal army and
Washington. Finding our object is
Washington, they will be sure ito attack
us, and when they attack us we shall

mo" said Gen. Lee, "the enemy is
there, and 1 am going to attack him
there"
Longstreet was argumentatively per-
sistent; but Lee was immovable. When
the battle of the second day was over,
Lee pronounced it a success, because
the Confederate forces occupied the
ground from which the Federals had
been driven, while several field-pieces
had been captured.
On the morning of the third day
Gen. Lee directed Longstreet to renew
the attack against Cemetery Hill, which
was probably the strongest point of
the Union line. In reply the subordi-
nate officer responded in substance that
he had been examining the ground over
to the right, and was much inclined
to think the best thing was to move
to the Federal left.

take them where they are, on Gene

ty much in all kinds of skirmishes, from
those of two or three soldiers up to

iy say that there never was a body of
$4,000 men who could make that at
tack successfully"
Lee seemed a little impatient at his
subordinate's remarks, and nothing
more was said: Iongstreet thereupon
went to work to arrange his troops for
the attack. Pickett was put in posi-
ton and received his directions. The
world knows of Pickett's memorable
charge, and how his noble division was
swept away. Lee came up as the Con-
federate troops We're driven back, and

He begged them to reform their ranks
and reorganize their forces, and as
sisted the staff officers in bringing
them into something like order again.
