I suppose I will recelve none. The commission issued to Mr, Tullock will be my only notice, I suppose. Mr. Tullock 1s now out arranging for his bond. and I will surrender the ofiice to nim when he presents his commisston.” “This was a surprise to you, of course?” said the reporter. “A perfect surprise,” sald Mr. Atnger. “I never felt more secure than’ I did Saturday. I think it is the work of Tidball and Brewster Cameron, who seem to have something against me.” “It is said this is a stalwart attack on half- breeds,” suggested the reporter. “Well, T think IU/s."I believe the real reason of my removal is because I was appointed by Hayes.” Mr. Alnger said that In reference to the charge ade against him before the Post Office depart- | ment some months ago, In connection with the Star route straw bond cases, he had been exoner- ated by the Postmaster General. Section 534, of he postal regulations, prohibited any man from going on bonds to the amount of four times his worth, Now the question was Wwhetier the postmaster had to determine this matter or the Mlepartment, The postinaster had no means of knowing how many bonds had been cepted. All he had done, as postmaster, w.1s to © of twelve bohds,that the surety was. worth as much as represented. He had lait the matter before the Postmaster, and on the 15th day of May last recetved a’ letter from the Postmaster General, deciding the question raised, which stated that the regulation referred to wus Intended as a guide to eifticers of the de- partment, and not as guide to postmasters; and urther, 1a the Judgment of the Postmaster Gen- eral, section 584 was an unauthorize attempt to Imit the language of the statute, and it therefore had no force.’ Following immediately upon this letter was an order revoking the section urmler Which the complaint against him (Mr. Ainger) was jal “As to the newspaper publication,” said Mr. Ainger, “I simply wrote a reflection of the sentt- ment Of the hour, basing the statement upon what JudgeWyite had saidthat there had been no casemade out.

He had a roil of paper in his hand. “All you need say,” said Mr. Tullock, “is that I have been appointed. I have qualified, have my commisston (raising the roll of paper in his hand), and will enter upon my duties at once.” “Who are your bondsmen 2" “That,” sald Mr. Tullock, “1s. a matter I do not care to tell you. I have qualified in the sum of $190,000, and my bondsmen are good for $200,000. It would not be proper for me to say who they are.” “Have you decided yet, whom you will appoint our assistant?” Ihave now” ¢* Wilt you make any changes?” “I have not had time to think of that yet,” sald Mr. Tullock.

The tickets | Ws Among those whom rumor and newspaper re- ports have indicated as about to lose their official heads in the same connection with the removals of Saturday were District Attorney Corkhill, Col, J. O. P. Burnside, disbursing officer of the Post Office department; Mr. Hugh Nesbitt, law clerk in the Post Office department, and sixth Auditor Ela. WHAT COL. BURNSIDE SAYS. When Col. Burnside’s attention was called to the published reports to-day, he laughed and said that he was positive there was nothing in the re- ports, * “Your loyalty to the government in the star route matter has never been questioned?” said the reporter. “It can’t be,” answered the Colonel. “Why the man who has managed those cases in this depart- ment knows very well how I stand. Why Ihave disbursed all the money and never have said a word. My mouth has been closed.” “And you have no newspaper anywhere?” asked the reporter. . “Fortunately,” sata the Colonel, “I have not. I have not written to any newspaper for five years, except in the case of some sporting notes which I have sent to the New York papers.” ‘WHAT AUDITOR ELA SAYS. Sixth Auditor Ela, when asked by a STar re- porter as to the reports concerning his official head, said he did not understand it “I have never,” he safd, had any doubt about the guilt of certain parties implicated tn these star route mat- ters, though I may have been in doubt as to where to place the guilt. I expressed my conviction ot guilt in this matter three years ago, and I have never had a doubt since. It was enough, when an executive officer estimited for the required amount to run these routes and then excoeded the estimate by $2,000,000, to convince me of his guilt.” Mr. Ela said that a man, who he thought was con- nected with the department of Justice,stood in the hall, in front of his office last’ Thursday, and’ annonuced that these changes were to be made and used language which made him (Mr. Ela) believe that some enemy had been working to injure him, He had, he sald, done all that he could to assist Mr. Merrick in the star route trial, and had detailed the clearest- headed clerk in his office to prepare the tables needed and explain them on the witness stand. WHAT MR. NESBITT SAYS. ‘Mr. Hugh Nesbitt, of the law office, Post OMice department, said, speaking of the report: “I don’t see why they want to distinguish an humble clerk like me. Iknow nothing about this matter, and never had anything to do with the star route cases.” The report that Mr. Nesbitt was to be re- moved was first printed ina Philadelphia paper, and Mr. Nesbitt thought it was printed merely be- cause his brother was prominent in Philadelphia, and some correspondent thought it would supple Ment the sensation of the day well to announce that he was to be removed. DISTRICT ATTORNEY CORKTILL’S CASE. It 1s understood upon inquiry that Attorney General Brewster and Special Counsel Biss have no complaint to make agatnst the manner in which District Attorney Corkhill has performed ils duties, and 1t is believed that his offictal head 1s tolerably Secure on his shoulders.

ANOTHER PARALYTIC WHO WAS RESTORED TO HEALTH BY PRAYER, From the Philadelphia Preas. PITTSBURG, Nov. 26.—Since the alleged cure by Prayer of Richard Huffman at Washington county | a number of similar cases have been reported. The most remarkable case is that of Mrs. Jennie Dy= sert, who lives at 83 Harkway street, Allegheny. Her story, as told by herself, js as follows: “About ayear sgoT had afall, from the effect of which both my limbs were paralyzed, and for seven months Iwas entirely helpless. Three days betore I was cured I fell out of bed upon the floor and had to Me ‘there until some one came into the room, when I was lifted back to bed. At another Ume, while all the adult members of the family were absent, my three-year-old child fell down stairs and was fatally injured, but I was unable to go to its assistance and had to listen to the agonizing screams until a lady came in. I was at- tended by the Drs. Nabon. They gave me-no en- couragement and thought I would not recover. About three months ago my husband learned that A gentleman named Young, who is an elder in the Church of God, of Piutsburg, Was praying for a Mrs, Dodds, who had been afiicted with paralysts for 36 years. He at once requested him to come | andsee me. Mr. Young did so the next morning. 1 had never seen or heard of him before. Mr. Young talked with me and told me not to eat any dinner and to pray to God for help. He also told me to take no more medicine and to throw the bot- es Thad away. At 1 o'clock he returned with Miss Dodds, ‘the daughter of the lady mentioned. ‘They knelt down by the bed, placing their hands upon me, and told me to pray God to |help me just now.” Then both prayed and anointed me with ofl From the first prayer I felt myself relieved of all pain. We sang ‘Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow.’ Why, I was feel- ing stronger, better and happter at once. I raised myself up in bed and put my feet out on the floor without assistance. We then sang the doxology again. I asked for my clothing, and j Miss Dodds assisted me to putiton. I then walked to the middle of the room and sat down on arocking chair. From there I walked to the window. T have been doing my own work ever | sine. My husband belleves as strongly as I do, | and has perfect faith, Since I have been able to be about I have devoted much of my time to visit- ing the afflicted. I think It was good for me that I was sick, as it has strengthened my faith in God and His great mercies. “Mrs. Dodds, the lady referred to as having been paralyzed for thirty-s!x years, 15 almost well. | Mr. Young does not make any charge for his ser- | viecs. He will go most any place to pray for sick people as he did for me.” ——— ‘The Public Will Now Take Hope. From the Baltimore Sun. ‘The action of the President was like a thunder- clap in a clear sky. Other removals, reaching even higher officials, are hinted at by Washington specials, and it is"becoming evident that the Would be made. AccoMiingly Maud did not go on the streets alone, and other precautions were teken to prevent 'a surprise from Mrs. Melville. Maud understood the situation, and did not object to the sitght restraint, although her sympathies have all the time been with her mother. She oc- cupled her time tn reading and in sewing on vari- ous articles of clothing for her own use. Miss Capel Says that Maud was certainly a happy girl during her three weeks’ stay in Brooklyn. About 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternown, while Miss Capel and Maud were in the dining-room in the basement, a lady rang the door bell. To the servant who answered she said her name was Mrs. Parker, that she was the wife of Engineer Parker, of the United States navy, and that she was an Int timate friend of the Melvilles. She wished to see Maud for achat Miss Capel went tothe door, and at first she declined to admit her, Remem- bering, however, that Maud had spoken of a Mrs. Parker as a friend, she finally conducted her to the parlor and called’ Maud. | There was a trendiy freeting between Maud and the stranger, thous! aud shed a few tears over the recollections of her troubles, which the visit Drought up. A few min- utes before 3 o'clock Mrs. Parker went away. Miss Capel went to the door with her. As Mrs. Parker stood on the step she sald: “Maud Mciville ts here?” “She isn my care, and she can’t be seen,” sald Miss Capel, stepping forward. Immediately Mrs. Melville stepped from behind ‘one of the doors, where she had been standing out of Miss Capel’s sivht, and said: Lwant Maud Melville.” 5 Maud Melville,” Miss Cay ited, “1s in cag Maud pel replied, my At that the man caught hold of her arms, hold- ing her firmly whiie Mrs, Melville put her bead in the hall and screamed: “Maud Melville, your mother is here!

As soon as possible Miss Capel told a policeman what had occurred. From him she learned that the carriage had stood at the corner of De Kalb and Grand avenues, and that it had probably been driven down Myrtle avenue and to Fulton Ferry, Miss Capel telegraphed the facts to her father at Sharon Hill, and asked what Was known of Mrs. Melville’s movements there; but at 11 o'clock last night she had received no answer from him. Mrs. Melville has relatives in Buffalo, Miss Capel thought it lkely Maud would be taken there, Miss Capel is positive that Mra.
