Sherman has recom- mended that the 21st infantry, now on the Pacific, with headquarters at Fort Vancouver, W. T., change stations with the 10th infantry, now on the lakes, with headquarters at Detroit. It ap- proved by the Secretary of War the change will ‘De made this fall. Lirvr. Josrru B, BATCHELOR, 2th infantry, has been detailed as military protessor for the agricul- tural college in North Carolina, to take effect November ist. ‘ ‘Tue following naval orders were issued to-day: Lieut. Wm. H. Reeder, detached from the Ports- mouth, N. H., navy yard and ordered as executive of the Despatch; Lieut. F. M. Wise, detached from the Despatch and ordered to the Annapolis naval acaiemy; Passed Assistant Engineer George B. Ransom, ordered to the Pinta, relieving Passed Assistant Engineer Richard Inch, who 1s placed on walling orders, THE CASE OF THE ATLANTA PostMasTER.—Post- master General Gresham gives the following state- ment respecting the susp2nsion of the postmaster at Atlanta, Ga.: A discrepancy of $8,000 was dis- covered In’ the accouzts of the office, for which no tistactory reason was given. ‘The cashler of the Post office sald he would assume the debt, but Upon Investigution the Post Office department found the postmaster’s bondsman. ex-Governor B-own, to be responsible for the loss, and the post- master Was suspended. Inspector Camp, one of the most efticlent employes of the department, Was sent to Atlanta to conduct the examination, with full power to act. Owing to the absence of the President the postmaster cannot be removed, but on the President’s return the facts in the case whl be laid before him for action, and meanwhile the postmaster Is suspended. REGISTERED PACKAGE REcEIPTS.—The principle Of the postal card has of late years been extended to various branches of the post office establish- ment. By an ingenious combination devised by | Satouel R. Stratton, chief of the registration divis- jon, P. 0. department, and approved by the Third Assistant Postinaster General, the matter formerly embraced in the sheet form of registered package Tecelpt 1s now condensed on a card of the size of a No. 6envelope. The reverse side of the card con- tains blanks for the address of the postal officer Who dispatched the registered packages, and it 1s then returned to nit after receipting, without cover through the ordinary malls. ‘The cards will be is:ued by the Thir? Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral, in two colors, one in green for the use of postal clerks, and one style in yellow color for the .use of jostnasters. It 13 estimated that thelr use will save from fifteen to twenty million of en- velopes each year, besides a considerable amount of clerical labor. OvR Navy oF Some Use.—Commander Barker, commanding the U.S.S. Enterprise, reports to the Nivy department, under date of Zanzibar, July + enclosing a copy of a letter received from the French consul at Zanzibar, returning thanks for having rendered assistance to the French steamer Ville d’ Alger, which was aground on the southern yass of Zanzibar on the 17th of July. ‘The vessel Was in rather a bad posttion and the Enterprise got her sfloat after about two and a-halt hours? work. The consul in bis letter says: I shall ine form the minister of marine of the French repub- He of this new act of courtesy of the navy to which you belong.” Commander Barker calis the atten- Uon of the department to the generous action of the Sultan of Zanzibar in giving twenty-four dis- tressed n tree transportation to Bombay.

Mention has been made of a bloodless ‘duel be- tween two doctors of Leesburg, Va. The details have just become known. A special from Lee: burg to the New York Herald says: “Dr. N. West and Dr. Sam McGill are two prominent phy- sielans of Leesburg. ‘They have had a dislike for each other for some time past, Dut recently Dr, McGill seemed very bitter in his feelings toward Dr. West, and, it is sald, had made several state- ments datnaging to the’ reput ition of the latter. West, on hearing these reports, denounced them. 48 infamous and expressed bis opinion of McGill in language more emphatic than polite. McGill, after advising with some friends, demanded a re- traction of the epithets applied to him, but West refused to retract. Arrangements were then made tor a hostile meeting, and the parties left town as quictly_as if they were going on a professional visit. ‘They reached Harrison Island, a secluded Spot on the Potomac. ‘The duelisty were to stand ten paces apart and use revolvers. Just before they were to take their places, however, McGill's second made overtures looking’ to a settlement of the difficulty. ‘These, however, were promptly rejected by the friend of West, who insisted that the affuir chould proceed in good old style. A sec- ond attempt was mode to conciltate West, but it also failed. Accordingly, the parties were sta- toned and ‘the word Was given. Both fired and West's ball grazed McGHIl’s left side. Alter the ardor of the duelists had been somewhat cooled by this harmless exchange of leaden compliments McGill's friends again tendered con‘iltions of agres- ment, which, according to one report, were ac- cepted, but, according to another, were rejected. At any rate, the encounter ended at this point and the belligerents were soon on their way home.

One died that same’ evening, three hours afte arrival. Both living and dead show no sign3 of yellow fever. Secretary Chandler's Cruise. NOT ALTOGETHER A PLEABURE TRIP. It 1s said at the Navy department mat Secretary Chandler’s cruise in the ‘Tallapoosa ts not ent!rely a pleasure trip, as 1s generally supposed, but that he is combining business with pleasure. One of the objects of his cruise was to visit Admiral Cooper, at Portland, Me., who recently returned In the flag ship Tennessee from an fmportant visit to Venezuela. In addition to this the Secretary de- sired to see about matters connect a with the fish- ing banks, and undoubtedly communicated with other vessels of the North Atiantic squadron,which are now cruising for information regarding the fishing interests. The Secretary is kept well in- formed upon department matters, and every order or change of importance is done upon instructions from him. It.will be remembered that when yellow fever made its appearance in Pensacoly Surgeon Owen Was among the first attacked. Assistant Surgeon Martin was ordered there from New Orleans, but one naval surgeon could not perform all the du- tles required. Permission was asked to employ the services of a civillan physician, but as he asked $100 per day for thirty days Commodore English, Acting Secretary of the Navy, authorized his employment only temporarily, uatil word was received from the Secretary. Word came from the Secretary almost immediately declining to pas. such a price, and the services of the high-priced civilian were dispensed with after having been rendered only a day or two. Passed Assistant Surgeon D. M. Gulteras was at onee detached from the Swatara, about to sail from New York, and within twenty-four hours was on his way to Pen- sacola to take Surgeon Owen's place. Architect Hill’s Defense. POINTS FROM THE BRIEF OF HIS COUNSEL, MR. THOMAS—HIS REVIEW OF TE EVIDENCE. Hon. John L. Thomas, the gpunsel of Super- vising Architect Hill, has filed with the committee that has been investigating certain charges against Mr. Hill his brief, which reviews the evi- dence taken by the committee. He condemns the action of Mr. Murch In bringing charges of frand against Bartlett, Robbins & Co. on the sole au- thority of Wilbur and Steinmetz, HARD ON MR. MURCH. Mr. Thomas says:—“ This man Murch has posed before the country as the great and immaculate accuser of public wrongs, He hasrisen In his seat when a member of Congress, and has po'nted with pride to the number of ‘public buildings through out the Union that he has personally worked upon and inspected, and yet, in thls case, he was forced to acknowledge that when hemade such state- mengs he deliberately sald what was not true.” BARTLETT, ROBBINS & CO'S, “BILL OF EXTRAS.” The brief maintains that the every item in the “bill of extras” was authorized by letters which are on file with the committee. He charges that the witness Stinemetz was Influenced by personal fecling because he had been discharged from office by Hill, and that the witn’ss Wilbur was alo soured against Mr. Hill, because the latter sat down upon his “ttle clatm!? Mr. Thomas maintatns that the obtaining by Bartlett, Hayward & Co, of their contracts for heating apparatus under Mr. Hil as Uy had under hits predecessors, did not warrant th? pre- sumption that Mr. Hill was acting corruptly or un- Jawruily, but on the contrary, that he was acting for the best interests of the government in secur- Ing the services of such a responsible firm, Their obtaining the Lirgest part of the work 1s nOt a presumption of fraud, unless frawi can be shown. Mr. Thomas says tiat the attempt mad to show that the heating apparatus put, tanto the Ch go bulliing by this firm was worthless was In keep- ing with the other tatlures in thts case. NO PROOFS OF CONSPIRACY, FRAUD OK CORRUPTION. 1 conclusion he says: ‘Had no evidence been submitted by the respondents, but the case left to rest solely on the proofs relied upon by the prose- cution, there would have been no facts developed in thts Investigation from whieh this commission could Infer conspiracy, fraud or corruption. But the facts and explanations submitted by the re- spondents leave no room for equivocation or doubt ay fo the entire Innocence of all partles accused.” ee See PROPOSED RAILROAD CHANGES IN BALTIMORE.— The Baltimore American says: It 1s reported that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad comp ny 1s con- sidering a plan for running their new Philadelphia Une on an elevated road over Jones’ Falls into the heart of the city, and erecting a handsome pas- senger depot in’the nelzhborhood of Baltimore and Harrison streets. Rumor also has it that the Pennsylvania company contemolate the erection of a depot on Lexington street, opposite the new post oftics PENNSYLVANIA'S CCHAMBERS OF Honrors.”— ‘The report of the inspection of the prisons of Al- lezheny county, Pa.. by the Women’s Auxillaty Committee of the State Board of Charities has Just. been forwardel to Harrisburg. It makes Startling revelations In regard to. the Pittsburg Jail, and characterizes the cells as “chambers of horrors.” The jail is condemned as an outrage on the community. In the cells, which were only in- tended for two persons, as many as nine prisoners have been crowded at one time. ‘They are dark and badly ventilated, the only light in many belng from the grated dcors. Criminals of the worst type, young boys, hard-ned women and young girls just starting on tue road to ruin have been ‘com- pelle] to associate together. A new jail has been recommended, - . a A MILiionamre SEEKING Divorce.—Abraham Nave, a millionaire wholesale grocer of St.Joseph, Mo., has filed a plea for divorce from his wife, a lady many years bis junior, whom he married ten years ago. The sult is the result of several years’ unpleasant life togetheg; Mr. Nave ts nearly seventy and she is about thirty-five. The petition charges the wife with reckless extravagance; with slandering bis first wife, and cruelty to his daugh- ter. He also claims to have been untruthfully charged by his wife with criminal familiarity with other women. =: +e _____ A Wrst Vinainta Trwxspory.—The advent of a new superintendent at the poorhouse of Mounds- ville, Marshall county, West Va., caused a disclo- sure of the existence of abuses and cruelties of the most sickening character, and an investigating committee 1s being loudly called for. The in- firmary 13 an old, dilapidated structure, far from weather-proof, containing nine rooms, of which only four, the ‘smallest th the building, are de- voted to the use of inmates, There are ‘twenty- one inmates, made up of men, women and children, old and young, idiots, sick and cripples, who are crowded indiscriminately together in these rooms, eating and sloeping in the same apartments, regardiess of age, seX or condition. Modesty fs, of course, unknown, and the most Voiting cruelties and’ debaucherles are hinted at which, if true, are a disgrace to any civilized com. munity.

The new vault which will be soon constructed in the Treasury department for the storaze of stam ard silver dollars will be located in the sub-base- tment of the north wing of the buliding, two stor!’s below the cash-room and directly under it. The greater part of the lance room corresponding to the cash-room will be utilized for the purpose. It will be connected with the cash-room by the ele- vator which now extens only to the basement, but which will be carried down another story: ‘The vault will be 88 feet long by 35 eet wide, and, it is estimated, will hold $42.000,000, or the coinage: of about a year anda halt. ‘The whole room will be partitioned off by fron lattice work, forming eighteen stalls, eac' 6 by 13 feet, opening on a central passage about five feet wide.
