Ion , J , G , Thompson , Sergeant- at-Arms of the IOUBB Be- IM in His Acconnts , Thompson Claims That the Story is Ridiculous and Un. true in Every Respect , And Wishes to Hear From Any Member Who Has Not Re ceived His Salary. COLUMBCS , O. , May 28 1 a. m. The Ohio State Journal uill publish this morning the following : The Wes tern Aseociated Press dispatches from Washington yesterday , which will bo found in another column , charge that Hon. John G. Thompson is behind in his accounts as sergeant-at-arms of the House. Mr. Thompson was found last evening aud interviewed on. the subject After making a general and earnest denial , ho proceeded to say tliat "the story was ridiculous and un true in every respect. " He is not be hind with his accounts with any of the members of congress. No checker or draft was ever drawn on him as ser geant-at-arms for any member's salary due , that to his knowledge was not paid. He said the sergeant-at-arms draws the salaries of members on the 4th of each month , and places to the credit of the members on the books of the sergeant-at-arms , subject to the checks or draft of the members. Dar- inj the time when congress is not in session , the sergeant-at-arms draws the salary of the members on the 4th of each month andprocuresUnitedjSLatcs treasury drafts for the amounts < Ine the members and sends the sanu. to them at their respective po3toffice : ui- dresses. If there beany memberhsho has not received his salary in the inaimui stated or ft ho lias drawn his check or draft that has not been paid on pre sentation , Mr. Thompson would be glad to hear from him and know who he is at once. As to the bond given by 3Ir..Thompson , that gentleman says the Associated Press , is in error. It is given to insure the _ faithful p v- mentbythe scrgcant-at-anns , of : .ll monies coming into his hands due members of congress. Mr. E. E. Winship , of Circleville , who was formerly auditor of Picka- Txny county for four years , is Mr. Thompson's cashier. He is regarded as one of the most thoroughly honest and reliable men , that can be found. Had there been any inability pay the draft or check of any member on his part , Mr. Winship who lias charge of the sergeant-at-arms in Mr. Thorap- son's absence , he would no doubt have notified him ( Thompson ) andas no no tice has been received by Mr. Thomp son feels there can be no possible foundation for the statement in the associated press. Mr. Thompson states that he knows no reason for this statement , or on what grounds it could have been given to the public. \\ASHIKOTO \ > , May 2" . The presi dent has appointed Volner V. Smith of Louisiana , United States consul at St. Thomas , also Howard M. Hutchi i collector of internal revenue of the third district of Wisconsin. The president and cabinet have de cided to abandon the trip to Gettys burg on Decoration Day , but will drive out to the national cemetery at the Soldiers' Home , iLence to Arljng- ton. ton.In In regard to a request that Secretary tary Ulaine's trip to New York , waste to cover up personal connection w ith the Star Route fraud , Postmaster- General James said to-day , Chat there was nothing in the Star Route devel opment to disturb Mr. Ulaine , and tliat the report was a supremely silly one.

The executive Has approved of the trans fer made bythe state of Tamlispas of the Matinoras and Monteren railroad to the national railroad company. Vico-Prosidont Arthur. WaOiinjton Special to Chica0-o Tribune. The question is asked in various di rections why Vica-Prosident Arthur declined , at the close of the executive session , to retire from\the chair , as is customary , to allow the senate to dcs innate a president pro tern. It is per fectly understood here that that w as iu accordaiica with tlio expressed de sire of Mr. Conklin'4 , who fult that he could not afford to go before tlio Npw York legislature with the fact staring that body in the face that his rosigna- ; ion had not only enabled the demo crats in the position of succeeding to Jic presidency in case of the death'or disability of the president or vice-pres ident. To avoid this criticism on Mr. 3onkling it w as deemed by himsalf tnd friends , including Mr. Artie- , tliat the best solution of the difficulty would bo to Imve Mr."Arthur refuses cave the chair unltw the senate had adjourned sine die. THE REPORT that the administration is indifferent as to the re-election of Conkling and Pl.itt , is untrue. The president lias been very decided in his expression i that while he is very desirous of har mony , he could not interpret the reelection - [ election t f those gentlemen as r , act in the interest of Jiarmony , but rather as a declaration war , A leading Grant man sajs that tlu < ad ministration may rely upon tjje oppo sition of the Grant stalwarts for the next four years. A GENTLEMAN \VHO UAT > A TALK with Senator Conkling just before the latter lelt for New York , says tliat the New York senator , if , as he termed it , he should be puslied to t c wall , would make a public exhibition of facts in his possession , which would startle the country and prove a serious Injury to some of those whom he considers as his traditional opponent * . Gen. But ler is said to liave been the person who has supplied Mr. Conkling with this PQPJ'lisr ammunition , anil if the latter shall , in the pourse of ,4he senatorial contest , eonsjdep tljai ] } e is pushed to the wall , the revelation wU } yn 94bt- edly be made public. A Da-ughtar Shoots Her Mother. baboon ! Ax * dated Pi ess. f ATUXTA , Go. , 3Iay 28 1 a. m. Word from Ooohran slates that Mrs Tiny Garret told her daughter Jo go and cook dinner , and the young lady refused to do so. Her mother told ] ier if she did not RO at oneo she would make her father whip her when he came to dinner , and so one word broughton another , till they got up a treneral row and the daughter got the ) shot gua and flrpd.n hcr mother , the whole load , which ontwncd fifteen buck hot , , peeling off the top 01 her head and lodging - the door facing. When the daughter found she had not accomplished her desire of killing her mother , she tried the other barr.l , but her little brother knocked away the gun in time to save his mother from a second shot. When Mr. Garret came to the house he so severely whipped Lis daughter that it is thought it is impossible for her to get over it , and there is a probability of both mother and daughter dying. Mr. Garret i * a well-to-do farmer of Laurens county , and is highly -respected by all who know him. His wife and daughter are both members of the church. The Weather.

EAN ECHOES. The inquiry into the imports of cat- 1 tie , sheep and svine from the United States into England has led to t'ie ' CK- I I posirre of some important facts facts la'.portant b > th in an economical and humanitarian sense. In 1880 there wei imported ffomjhoUnited States i770 cargoes tif pifflhnals'c6ns5s in7 of 154,811 cattle , 60,722 sheep and 12,549 hwine. On the voyage there were thrown overboard 13,619 animals that .vero either dead or injured past le- covery ; 510 were landed dead and 331 weie so much injured that they had to be slaughtered immediately on land ing.

The situation at this hour is as fol lows ; The "stalwarts have forty- three voles pledged to favor calling a caucus , aud the half-breeds" fifty votes against them. This leaves thirteen Re- nublican members unaccounted for but believed impossible for Conklingto t jure an election by republican votes to stalwarts deny this and say they v ill have a caucus on Monday , but the iialf-brccds" dispute this statement. Indications point to the re-election of Conkling and Plait by the aid of dem- t jratic votes pledged last night and it will take extraordinary pressure to prevent the Democrats from fulfill ing their pledges. Conkling is anoyed at the ill judgemuntof bringing him to Albany. He was assured that his pres ence would win the necessary number of Republican votes. Now the only hope of getting Republican votes is that the ( lead-lock will continue until Grant's arrival from Mexico. Grant will bring all his influence to bear in favan of Conkling. The ' 'half- breeds" say , Grant may possibly bo a compromise candidate , and it will be an easy escape for Conkling from ignominious defeat. Conkling's re- olcetion socms assured through prom ised democratic votes , TRADE AND The stalwarts and democratic work ers wore in consultation all night. The democrats say they had better support Conkling and antagonize the adminis tration , as Governor Cornell could , in case of a democratic success at thopolls nest fall , rc-conveno the present leg- islalure and they would be compelled to elect senators with no hope of the democrats , in any event , getting rop- icbentation. f * " ANI > ins MIIEXDS. _ - - 3Iny8. .

During the evening large numbers of politicians culled at the hotel and as J.\te a 10 o'clock the lower corridors were crowded. OMY VEKJiOXAI. FKIEXDADMITTED. .
