arrested bv inspectops.
• On Monday last John E. Hollingsworth
and John if. McCulloin, United States postal
iluspectors, arrested Hurry M. Burns, un
employe in the Houston postoflic^, on a
fcliarge of secreting a registered United
States mail package. Yesterday morning
young Burns was taken before United States
■Commissioner Breeding and waived exami-
nation. He was placed under $1000 bond to
^answer.
Tiie News correspondent this morning
visited the olllee of Judge Breeding to get a
true statement of the facts in the case and
obtained the following:
During the past few weeks several regis-
tered packages have been missed on the
il'outo between Bristol, in Ellis county, and
(Oyster Creek. About a month ago detect-
ives were at work and traced matters down
>o the point where tliey watched each mail
[pouch as it left the various offices en route
'and made a thorough examination by in-
specting the pouch after each employe'had
Hiandled it:'
On Monday the Bristol pouch eon-
[taincd three registered letters. Arriving at
'Houston it was opened and as usual the
Contents examined and checked by the clerk
)«nd other pouches made up. After leaving
tie Houston office the pouch supposed to
Contain the three leLters was examined and
it-he letters found, missing. The inspectors
Icame back and arrested Burns and searched
'Jbim but failed to lind the packages on his
[person, and after questioning him search
;yas instituted in the office and the package
liound in a pouch immediately in the rear of
[Where the former pouch was hung, being a
SJiouch bound north irusteart of south.
The inspectors asked the young man how
lit came in the pouch whore found, and lie
[said that he did not know, that it was prob-
ably thrown there by mistake. The in-
spectors claim that they took him to a room
"in the Capitol hotel, where, after a long
(talk, he said he might have put it there de-
signedly. Burns, however, says lie did no
such tiling.
|i Tlio above is a plain statement of facts as
,furnished by Commissioner Breeding, who
deceived his data from both the inspectors
■and Mr. Burns. The young man arrested
:liasthe sympathy of the entire community,
Who believe him entirely innocent of the
jcharge, and the majority of t hose who have
■heard the facts of tiie case doubt if an in-
■dictment will be found against him.

three years in jail, the offense not being a
penitentiary penalty. Constant attempts
have been made to secure Cornelsson's re-
lease on a writ of habeas corpus, and a suit
of that, nature is pending here now. Three
citizens of Mount Sterling made affidavits
yesterday that Cornelsson was in danger of
a mob and he Was brought here last night.

AMOUNTS DEDUCTED FROM the

Failure of Appropriations—•Cypress I3ayon
Improvements—Fixed Salaries for Court
Offlcin!-;—Dental Science—Ag.iin it
Increase—Bad Precedent.
WASHINGTON, May 9.—[Special 1—The sec-
retary of tiie treasury lias informed the
house committee ouappropri ttions that the
following amounts have been deducted from
the Texas ports for expenses of collecting
the revenue from customs for the balance of
the fiscal year on account of failure of ap-
propriations: Galveston, 8313,311; Browns-
ville, §331,1)70; Corpus Christi, 8153,334; Eagle
Pass, $133,080,
As is well known these reductions neces-
sitated a paring of salaries at the ports
named, but if congress makes the deficiency
appropriation now pending the pay of the
employes will be restored, and consequently
they will not suffer any loss.
cypress bayou improvements.
In reference to tho improvement of Cy-
press bayou the engineer in charge reports:
"Cypress bayou forms, with Fairy and the
Soda lakes, the high water route from Jeff-
erson to Siireveport, La. According to the
early surveys the old channel of Cypress
bayou may yet be traced at. low water
through these lakes, a~*d this, if cleared of
logs and stumps, would afford low water
navigation of about two feet. The estimates
of improvements, however, called for $373,-
500 in a single appropriation for removing
obstructions from the bayou. This project
was disapproved on account, of its great
cost. lu tlie meantime work was carried on
by dredging and removal of logs, clearing
timber, etc., so that there was found a well
defined channel marked with sign boards
from Jefferson to Siireveport. The sum of
$9-1,001) had been expended on this work and
$10,000 made available to complete the im-
provement."
No further stfrveys are examinations are
considered.
fixed salaries.
The senate committee on the judiciary,
have under consideration a measure, pre-
pared by Senator Morgan of Alabama, to
provide fixed salaries for the court officials
of tlie United States, instead of fees and
commissions, as at present. Under its pro-
visions tlie district attorney for the western
district of Texas would receive J4000 and
those in the other local districts 83500. Tho
marshal for the western Texas ilistrict would
get $4500 anil the others 54000.
This would represent a reduction in sala-
ries, as can lie seen from the following state-
ment, prepared in (lie department of justice
as a guide for the committee.
During the last year tho district attorney
for the eastern district secured as net emol-
uments 84514 10; in the western district,
$4702 15; northern district, $3044 75.
The gross emoluments of tlie marshal for
the Eastern district amount to ¥7037 5S; of-
fice expenses, 83030 70; net emoluments,
88407 79.
For the Western district the. gross emolu-
ments of the marshal were 810,470 33; office
expenses, 813,107 73; net emoluments,
$0!!(I3 50.
Marshal for the N:rthern district, gross
emoluments, $11,340 75; office expenses, $7433;
net emoluments, 83808 75.
dental science.
The measure to incorporate the National
Academy of Dental Science has again been
brought to the attention of tiie senate. The
incorporators named in the bill for Texas
are Messrs. W. S. Carruthers of Galveston
and G. T. liordman of Austin.
against an increase.
Representative Joe Abbott has joined in a
minority report against tlio increase in pay
of ensigns in tlie naval service. One of the
principal arguments he advances is that it
is only an entering wedge to secure an in-
crease of annual allowances all along the
line from admiral down. These naval fel-
lows, it. is thought, receive ample remuner-
ation for their work, much ol which con-
sist in dancing the gentian at the fashion-
able gatherings in this city. Mr. Abbott
says, that, in discussing the f-lifliciency of
the pay, it should be considered that, every
naval officer has a life position, dependent
only on good behavior.
A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
The ease with which pensions can be so-
cured by legislation in tiie senate is shown
in a case recently rejected by the house com-
mittee on pensions. The senate readily
passed a measure to place on the pension
rolls the name of one of the present messen-
gers of that body because while he was em-
ployed in a civil capacity in tiie war depart-
ment, also as a messenger, lie was thrown
from a horse in the st reets of this city and
his thigh injured. Tho house committee,
calling attention to the fact that lie was not
in the army, say it would establish a dan-
gerous precedent, and hence, advise the re-
jection of the bill passed by t he senate.

JAILED ON SUSPICION.
Mart In Cordova 111 .Tail, Charged with Mur-
dering* Uis Wife and Cremating tlie ilody.
Nacogdoches, Tex., May S). — Sheriff
Spradley to-day brought in and lodged in
jail Martin Cordova, the husband of the
woman the murder of whom lias already
been mentioned in The News. The Mexi-
can, Ben Procella, who was arrested a few
days ago charged with murder, makes a
confession or statement, in which lie says
the woman was murdered by her husband,
who shot her and then burned her in tin-
house; that he knew of the matter, but had
not made it known for fear of Cordova, who
had threatened I o kil 1 him if he told. There
seems to be but little question in tho mind
of the public that one of the two committed
the murder, but as to which it was there is
a conflict of opinion.
Arrested in Brownsville.
BR05YS8VILLE, Tex., May 9.—Kefugio Ale-
man, indicted here for assault with intent
to murder and horse theft, was arrested in
the lower part of town this morning by
Sheriff Brito. Refugio is an escaped con-
vict from the other side of the river, and is
a man of very bad antecedents. He has
been in-iking trips to this side of the river
for several night j past, and it is said with
tiie intention of assassinating a prominent
county official.
It seems remarkable that though this
man has been in Matamoros for weeks, and
is an e. eajied convict, tiiat tlie authorities
there have been unable to apprehend him.

delegation from each congressional district
was also elected. Resolutions were lengthy,
declaring renewed fealty to greenback prin-
ciples and instructing the delegation to tlie
national convention to unite with any or-
ganization adopting the principles of the
greenback party, but no sentiment favor-
able to fusion with either of the old parties

mi!. blaine's position.
New York, May 9.—Chairman B. F. Jones
of tlie republican national committee is at
the Windsor hotel. He had pressing busi-
ness engagements which preve ntfd him
from giving more than a few moments to
tlie reporter of the Tribune who called on
him. Tlie time was principally spent in an
emphatic denial of the reported interview
with him sent out from Pittsburg last Sat-
urday night., in which lie was made to say
that Mr. Blaine could not support Allison,
Sherman or Harrison for the nomination;
that Mr. Blaine was socially friendly to
these gentlemen, but politically they were
wide apart.
"That is language which never passed my
lips," said Mr. Jones. "The greater part of
tlio reported interview is simply incorrect.
The fact is that I have nothing to say about
politics."
"Have you received any letter from Mr.
Blaine since his letter of withdrawal?"
"I have not; neither do 1 know of any let-
ter from him."
"Will he accept the nomination if it is
tendered to him?"
"i do not know."
"What do you think?"
"Well, what would you do if the nomina-
tion was tendered to you?"
"But lie has withdrawn as a. candidate."
"Certainly lie has; but if the convention
should nominate him that is another tliingr-
that, is the action of the people."
"There is a story, Mr. Jones, that in |R«4
Walkci* Blaine brought to you and S. B.
Kikins a letter from his father, directed to
SenatorConkling, asking his support,which
was left to your (lis: ret ion to deliver or not,
and that it was not delivered."
"1 never saw or heard of such a letter. It
is a story of the same clieracter as reports
now being spread that Mr.Blaiue has written
a letter withdrawing his withdrawal; that
he will wriie a letter refusing to accept the
nomination if it is tendered to him; tiiat lie
is a very ill man, and so on."
mr. ei.kins talks.
Hon. S. B. Elkins was interviewed by the
Tribune in regard to the same letter, and
said:
"No such letter was over written, and
nothing of the kind was sent by Walker
Blaine.' Therefore, it was not seen by mem-
bers of the committee, as stated. We would
have been only too glad to see Mr. Blaine
and Mr. Conkling on goo:l terms. Thewhole
statement is ridiculous."
FIRST on NOTHING.
Columbus, O., May 9.—Ex-Senator "T.ur-
man laughed at the report that an effort
was being made to nominate him for the
vice-presidency, and refused to talk about
it. His son Allen said that the judge would
not consider such a t hing for a moment.
prohibitionists and democrats.
Atlanta, Ga., May 9.—The state tem-
perance convention, before adjourning,
passed resolutions to make a general prohi-
bition contest in elections for the legislature
this fall. Prohibition candidates will be
nominated in every county pledged to vote
for a statutory prohibition law, instead of
leaving the question to a vote of the people.
The state democratic convention met here
at noon to day to select delegates to the St.
Louis convention. President Cleveland's
tariff policy was strongly indorsed.
