[ Special to THE BiiE.J Thoroaro in Washington a great / many nion employed In tlio departments or f waiting for something to turn up , who have I Just and valid claims against the government * winch they have spent years of their lives in trying to have adjusted. Occasionally ono of those men dies before ho secures the Justice which is so long in coining to the claimants against the national government. Thu c.iso in point is brought to mind in Tlio death of Prof. Cusimiro Ginesi , who was buried on Tuesday last. Mr. Gincsl was nn ofncor of the Italian army , wno came to this country shortly after the close of tlio civil war , and married the daughter of n wealthy merchant in New York. Mr. Gincsi was engaged to represent his fitther-ln-law at Savannah , Ga. , where the latter had an extensive establishment for the sale of fertilizers. Lint the Italian officer know little of American institutions and American methods , and still { less of American Jurisprudence. He gave ) the impecunious planters of Georgia all the \ credit they asked , and had great difllcully In collecting the money duo him. In several in ( stances when he sought to recover what , was his by rights , ho found that not only V every member on the Jury was indebted to him , but the judge himself was among those who IjuJ failed to pay for the goods ho had used. Consequently , liis efforts to collect his debts , wore futile. Ho had an estate in Italy valued at thirty or forty thousand dollars. Ho concluded to go Into business for himself , and in order to do BO made a voyage to his native land , sola out hli estate and invested the greater portion tion of the proceeds in wlues , brandies and preserved goods , and champaign in Bordeaux ami Lyons. This ho shipped to Sa- f vannah ; but sonm way or another his goods arrived in Now York and J were stored In tlio bonded warehouse there for months before ho had discovered what f bad became of them. Then ho demanded I that they should bo shipped to Savannah as originally ordered. On tholr urdvul at the latter port he found that great quantities of liquids had been surreptitiously removed from tholr package. Champaign bottles had I been tapped by tlio old of the pharp point of , an icn pick , and the wines caught in vessels } , by the custom house employes who , no doubt , enjoyed their stealings. Casks of brandies of rare old vintages which should liavu contained hundreds of gallons were found to have been relieved of nearly nil their contents. Mr. Gincsi naked the privi lege of paying duty only upon those goods which arrived In Savannah , but the customs ottlciaU decided that ho must pay according to thu New York unpraUuient. This he de clined to do , and tried for a long time to se cure a reversal of the order through the treasury department. Hut in this he was un- /I encoc.ssful. * < After waltfng several years the bonded goods were eventually sold for the unpaid . uutics , miti u sum of (4,000 or $ .1,000 In excess of the amount of taxes duo was realized from the sale. For nearly twenty years Mr. Gincsi 1ms been trying to sepuro the money which was so evidently his right , but through the red tape processes which have always prevailed In the treasury department , every attempt 1ms. been without uvull , JIo c.4Uie to Washington several years , a ; o nnd mudu a living' for some tlmo a * r. uachur of languages. Later some of those who had known him in the south secured a plnco for him in the agricultural department , whcio ho drew ft salary of $00 a month , being assigned to the laborer's roll , yet ho per formed the duty of translator , going over all French , Spanish and Italian publications re ceived at the department , and doing work for which other more favored proteges of Commissioner Column wore paid comfortable salaries. About n year ago ho was trans ferred to the war department at u balary of about $1,200 a year. It was the Intention of thu department authorities to organize n bureau of military Information similar to the naval bureau of Information which is in existence in the navy department. It was intended to give Mr. Gincsi an important position In this bureau , as his military ex perience.ami ability as a linguist woulu have proved of great service to the government in such u position. Hut the necessary funds for the purpose have never been forth coming , and the proposed bureau has not yet been established. Some tlmo ago the Italian minister , Daron Fava , interested himself in Mr. Glnesl's claim and for awhile there was talk hero of retaliation by thu Italian government , unless the United States extended Justice to the late citizen of Italy , and reimbursed him for the money which had been so fraudulctly taken from him , but the matter died out and nothing has come of it , and how Mr. Gincsi is under the sod , and his family have n claim against the United States which will proba bly last them for several generations. * * * "There are two or three features in this democratic howl about the republicans advo cating iroo whisky that fairly makes my sides ache , " said n republic-tin member of the house committee on ways and means this morning. "In the tlrst place we do not pro pose , " continued the member , "to abolish the internal tax on whisky till wo have not only abolished all other internal taxes , but have reduced every feature of the customs duties to that low ebb which will require an attack upon our industries if wo go farther In that direction. The lepubhcan platform clearly indicates this , and it Is a misrepresentation to say that wo are In favor of f reo whisky. I do not think that any tariff protectionist or any temperance man or woman would bo in favor of retaining the ncavy internal tax on whisky and permitting such a reduction on our Import duties as would Impair our industrial interests. In the second place , if wo abolish the internal tax on whiskey , with u view to maintaining the protective features of our import system , nearly every state in the union will impose upon the whiskey in terest u tax which will bo us onerous as the one now levied. The state legislatures can forever impose a tax upon the manufacture and sale of whiskey , which will bo us heavy as that levied by the federal government at present , or they ran make it heavier if they wish. The question of free whiskey is not with the republican party a question of fur nishing to the people this article at a lower price. It Is a question of cutting off the revenues of tlio government and reducing the overplus of money being heaped up in the treasury , which restricts circulation and makes money scarce with the people. "Another thing , " continued the member , "I would call attention to. If the Incouius of the government shouM continue to bo so great us to necessitate the abolition of the taxes on whiskey after till other internal tuxes have been abolished and the ini | > ort duties reduced to the minimum , the temperance question would in no way bo affected. I nm a prohibitionist , but one that believes the temperance question should be fought upon its own ground and notbo mixed up in politics. I believe that the national prohibition party Is backed by democratic uiouoy and that Its very existence is planned and carried out by democrats , and that all of the leading candidates will not ouly bo dic tated by democrats , but will have tholr ex penses paid from the funds of that party. I understand that the object of the democrats in establishing a branch of the tmtlonal coin- mltteo In Indiana If Indeed that Is done is to boom the prohibition ticket with a view to taking voters fiom the republican party , because four-tilths if not' nine-tenths of the prohibition votes coma from the republican ranks. Hut this is not the point I Intended to make. It U this ! that the abolition of tlm Moral tax upon whUky will not Inrrcasp Jntewi > ercnce or be n disadvantage to the temperance cause. Oil the contrary , It will augment the temperance moyi'incnt. H will remove the barriers In the way to locul option tmd tate government of the traalc. 'fin-to is 1 ' now > 'U cc : Mr bg- S. P.

If it comes to the worst , and wo abolish the tax on whisky , then the whole problem of con trol of the sale and manufacture of intoxi cants will be relegated to the people , and they can , through the legislatures , levy a larger tax on the manufacture of whisky or make tlio laws more stringent governing the sale , at their opinion , and they can make it more dilllcult for the people to bell whisky and get drunk , or they can make it easier , just , as they wish. As I have said before , I am a temperance man and n prohibitionist from principle , and on pure temperance grounds , if no other , I would favor the abolition of the federal tux on whisky , with a view to giving the temper ance movement an impetus. " From the present outlook the delegation in congress from the Empire state will see greater changes In Its personnel in the Fifty- tlrst congress than have been witnessed be fore hi many years. There are five districts on Long Island nt present represented by four democrats and one republican. Three of the members have signitied their intention of absolute withdrawal from the race , among them Mr. Helmont and Deacon White. Of the other two one will probably bo retired to make way for other ambitious residents of the district. In New York city Tim Campbell is likely to bo knocked out. Mr. Fitch who defeated General Viele , was elected us a republican , but has voted with the democrats. Ho will probably not bo nominated again. Uourko Coohran has had enough of congress in ono term and ho will not try for election ngain. Greennmn , of Troy , was elected by an accident over Henry G. Biirleigh. The district " trict is normally republican by"u heavy ma jority. Uurleicrh thought ho had a walk over , and neglected the campaign , and Greciunandefeatcd him beforeHurloigliknew ho had any opposition. Mr. Tracy , of Albany , who was elected to succeed Mr. Kane , who died before ho took seat , bus not given satisfaction to his con stituents , und hoill doubtless be retired. Mr. Hopkins , of Catsklll , will probably bo left at homo. John H , Weber , of Buffalo , is a candidate for nomination lor lieutenant- governor. Stahltiecker , of Vonkers. has had enough of congress. Messrs. Helden , Do- Lnno atut Nutting , who represent three of the central districts , have no particular love for congressional lifeand will probably make no cttort to go back , although they may bo re-elected. Abraham X. Parker , of 1'otts- dam , Is serving now in his fourth congress , and another candidate in the district wants the nomination this time. Mr. liaker , of Uochester , has served two terms , and two terms is usually the limit allowed to mem bers from that district. Mr. DavonK | > rt , of Hath , has grown tired of congressional life , and seldom makes his appearance in con gressional hulls since his marriage. Major Farquhur , of Buffalo , has bervod two terms and this Is the usual limit for that district , but Farquhar is so popular and has per formed such excellent service for his con stituents and for the state generally that ho will probably bo returned in spite of himself. * * f- Congressman Hacon of New York , who Is ono of the most popular democrats In the house , in discussing the subject of repre sentation of the Eunilro state In the halls of congpiss , said that ho had no particular de sire to como back here for another term , but it Is uu usual custom to send n member for two consecutive terms from his district , and for this reason Mr. Uacou expects to be re- nomlnatod. "This experience In Washington , " eald Mr , Hacon"loses all its novelty and all its attract iveness very shortly after a member takes Ills seat. I filled out the uncxplred term of Mr. UeecU in the Forty-ninth congress , and enjoyed that winter very much. At the be ginning of the present congress , when the speaker consulted me as to the place I would like upon the committees , I asked him to assign me to some position where I would have little to do , and that little entirely uncon nected with my professional business. I don't know what ho had in mind when ho inaiio me chairman of the committee on man ufactures , but 1 do know that I have hud about the hardest and moat unpleasant busi ness that it was ever my lot to perform. As n lawyer I was always ready to furnish the la\y when my client bad the witnesses , but in tnq investigations into the methods of the various trusts which our committee has had to carry on , I have not only had to furnish the luw , but I have had to find every witness and to perform the duty of plaintiff , attor ney , clerk and judge. H Is tlio most thank less task that a lawyer ever had assigned to him , and It has done more to disgust mo with congressional work than anything else could have accomplished. Beyond all this , I have had to read every line of proof of tlio testi mony as it has como from the printer , and this in itself I can assure you has been no small task. The testimony will 1111 several largo volumes , and it docs not look now us though any great result was to como out of all this labor. " * It Is Improbable that the decrees of a party in caucus were over more faithfully nna strictly enforced than thosa relating to the Mills tariff bill now pending In the house. In caucus the- democrats decided that they would adopt certain amendments to the Mills bill , and that everything proposed by the re publicans should bo rejected. It is most exasperating to some of the republican mem bers to propose an amendment and have the democrats with only two or three exceptions solidly vote down the proposition , simply be cause it came from a republican , and then see a democrat make the sumo proposition , often in the Identical language , and have it adopted by n strict party vote. The object of this is , of course , to cut the republicans out of the credit duo to the adoption of the amendment. Although it is expected that Messrs. Randall - dall , Sowdcn , McAdoo , .and probably two or three other democrats will vote against the final passage of the bill , It is singularly strung * ) that the debate under the llve-min- ute rule progresses for days without a single democratic vote beine cast against any dem ocratic amendment proposed to the bill , and without a single democratic vote being cast in favor of the republican propositions. It may bo thai not all of the democratic mem bers have been coerced by the udmlnistra lion into tlio support of this measure , but it begins to look as though the vote on the llnul passage of the bill would bo solid , or practi cally solid , on party lines. I have heard it intimated that the democrats who do not want to vote for the bill and yet who feel that they will bo ostracized by the adminis tration if they do not support it , will bo con veniently absent from the house when the measure is llnally voted upon , which may bo next week. * The usual course of procedure in the patent ofllce involves a delay of from six months to n year before n patent can bo granted upon un invention. The usual course was pushed aside , however , in n case which came before Commissioner Hall tins week. A few days ago two gentlemen from Columbus , O. , Messrs. Wills and Egan , came to Washing ton for the purpose of securing a patent upon an invention for lighting railway cars by electricity. They ilrst had their papers carefully prepared by an export electrician who is now practicing ns a patent attorney , then tney went to the department , had a per sonal interview with the commissioner. They pointed out to , him the importance of the innovation whjch their Invention con templates , and asked that the commissioner expedite the case und make It special. It happened that another application was upoii his desk at that- time for un electrical device , und he scut the two up to the ex aminer together. The examination was made , it was found that there was no in fringement upon iinyotherdevico , and before the application was three days old it was de termined that the article was patcntable , and the Columbus people have a device with which they can greatly Increase the safety of railroad travel that will bo issued as soon ns the uccossury printing can bo done. It Is one of the quickest performances of the patent office on record. PKUUY S. HEA.TH. La Confosion Cuban cigar , equal to tiny imported und superior to tiny do mestic.

VICTIMS OF THUNDER BOLTS. Tlio Coroner's Jury Still Investigat ing the Onuses That Tjcd to Mrs. Harry's Death More Kali- road Kxtortion. LINCOLN BUHEAU OP THE OHAIIA BEE , ) 1020 P STIIKKT , > LINCOLN , July 21. ) Accidents and totalities have been numer ous In tlio city of Lincoln and vicinity dur ing tlio past two days. While In tlio midst of tlio inquest examination into the cause of the death of Mrs. P. A. Hano.v yesterday afternoon , a summons came for Coroner Shoemaker to como at OHCO to view the body of a suieido near Holland , about tivonty miles south of the capital city. Ofllciiil du ties here , however , compelled delay , but ho went down this morning and on return fur- nisli d THU 15EU reporter the following sad story : Mrs. Tetjo Baunm , a Hollander by birth , aged fifty years' , committed suicide by hang ing herself. For several months past the lady had not been in good health , but seemed to be cheerful and of sound mind. Yester day at noon her husband came in from his work , but complained that ho was feeling badly , and at the earnest solicitation of his wife laid down to rest. Feeling better be tween 2 and 3 o'clock , ho arose and went to the barn ami discovered his wife hanging by the neck , cold in death. She had got upon u box about eighteen inches high and thrown a rope over a rafter , adjusted the noose- around her own neck and swung herself into eternity. No causes , aside from ill-health , could bo learned to explain the rush act. Family relations proved to bo of the most pleasant character , and she usually seemed nappy , ehccrful and contented. Mr. liauina and family came to this country about a year ago direct from Holland. They were poor people , but highly esteemed. The husband , two sons , and ono daughter , all grown , are leit to mourn the tragic end. During a severe thunder storm this morn ing , while livid Hashes of lightning were striking right and left as though hunting for victims , a little girl by the name of Lindsay , thirteen years of ago , living on Q atreetj be tween Twenty-second and Twenty-third , was struck by 1Kb electric fluid and lay as ono paralyzed for several hours. Fortunately the little girl was playing in the street near homo , where she was tenderly carried soon after she was prostrated , and medical as sistance immediately summoned. Hut the chances are that Bho is maimed for lite. She lies In a critical condition and possibly even now Is beyond the pnlo of human help. The same current that prostrated the little girl also knocked down a horse and span of mules and driver but they escaped without serious Injury. Another accident of a like character U re ported having occurred a few miles west of the city but particulars could not bo learned. WAS IT CIEIMINAI * CAHKI.IISSNCSJ. n. 11. Graham , N. C. Urock , Neal John son , L. K. Jenny , W. M. Herdman and Alba Brown , the coroner's Jury impanelled to in- vcstlgato the causes that led to the death of Mrs. I' . A , Harry , mei at 8 o'clock last evnn- Ing at the oftico of Sheriff Mclick. Several witnesses were examined but the testimony elicited was so contradictory that an ad journment was taken until 10 o'clock thK morning. Testimony was adduced to show that a load of hey was standing by the sldo of the truck , so obstructing tlio view that the engineer could not see the unfortunate lady. But this was so bitterly contradicted that further investigation was doomed necessary. It was also stated that the horse was run ning away , from which Mrs. Hurry sought to cscups , when she attempted to rroii the track in front of the engine and was bo rim to her death. This statement , too , is uu- S. P. MORSE & CO. "P. D. " Corsets , Mondny morninq nnd nil next week we shnll offer P. D.

Allen nnd McArthur testify that they hold the horse down and that , they were backed into a ditch and that no lady was in front of them. The facts seem to stiow that tno engineer was devoting his time to "snorting and pufllng" his engine , as ono witness put it , instead of watching whither ho was llyiug , and for the purpose of frightening the horse into running away. Some witncsbcs also testified Unit jho body of the unfortunate woman was dragged from thirty to forty feot. while tlio engineer was certain that no stopped the train on the instant and within four feet after ho applied the brake. The testimony adduced to-day tends to provo that the lady was trying to escape the wheels of tlio backing buggy , and that she was between it and the engine when she tried to cross the track. Mr. Eskow testified that there was no load of hay obstructing the sight of the engineer , and that there was none in sight. The investigation is provok ing considerable interest , but it will pro bably conclude to-morrow. MO1I1S ItAIMIOAl ) EKTOHTION. Evidences of railroad extortion and rob bery continue to multiply before the state board of transportation. When ono studies the appalling facts continually coming to light regarding excessive railway charges , there is little wonder at the wall that comes up from allover thostato , asking and praying for necessary and legitimate redress , ami such laws as will fotever preclude the possi bility of future exactions so abliorcntly un just. The very latest comes from J. H. Van Uuskirk , of Aurora. Ho says : "I wish to ask the board if there is any redress for mo under tlio following state of facU : lam receiving threshers from the J. I. Case fac tory at Uacine , Wis. They are shipped to Lincoln , a distance of almost 000 miles , nt a car load rate of about 20 cents pur hundred pounds. A thresher rig complete weighs about 8,000 pounds. From Lincoln to Au rora it is seventy-four miles. The Chicago , liurlington & Quinc.v railroad company charge mo M.IH5 for transporting a rig hevcnty-fonr miles , while they haul It nearly six hundred miles for less than t'M. Again , on a steam engine nnd horse power outfit , which the railroad company claims weighs 23,000 pounds , they charge less than $70 Iroin Uacino to Lincoln , and $ " .50 from Lincoln to Aurora not so great a clmrgo as in the first instance , but still too great a difference between seventy-four and 000 miles. Tire railroad company do not touch these goods ; they are loaded and unloaded by consignors and consignees. L have the vouchers betting forth these facts. Will you kindly indicate what I can do if there in any redress. " A letter will be sent to Mr. VanHusklrk requesting him to return a sworn statement of the facts ho sets forth. C1IV NEWS AND NOTES. State Superintendent Lane is again at his desk at the capital. Ho returned to-day from a week's sojourn at Stanton and 1'iorce. Governor Thayer returned to-day from Long 1'ino , whuro ho has been attending the Chautaunua assembly during the past week. T , C. Williams , sheriff of lioono county , is in the city. Ho came down to bring i2d Carr , sentenced to the state pen for life for the murder of Warren Long at St. Ed wards. The 1. O. O.

This occupied some time , but ho finally holei-toM the fourteenth ohnp- tcr of Involutions and Iho third verso ns the groundwork for his rather dis cursive remarks. The worda of the text wore : "And they sung as it were a now song before the throne , and before the four beasts and the elders ; and no man could lourn that song but the 144,000 which wore ro- doomud from the earth. " The speaker announced that ho was on a "lecturin towor1' to raise $17,000 to pay for his church in Richmond , which was to cost $121,000 , "mi1 do individual wnt had d'nt job on his Imn's hud agood deal of hard work bofo'h him.

"Doy could boat do songster wo had to-day , nnd she was u pooty good one. too. " They wore binging - ing the bong of redemption , "an. doy bung it splendid. " Ho then referred to the power of prayer , and baid borne men were grnninuiriuiiH und could talk to God grammatically so he could undoi-- sliind them , but it didn't make any dif ference ; if they were not candid God would shut them out and wouldn't listen to them. Everlasting life was lo'livo as long ns God lived , and the speukor "didn't keor tor lib enny longer dan dnt.

If they didn't act like chribtmns "God would sting 'em wid do lotmtus from do bottomless pit , " and thg only way to go to heaven was to love God and do his works.
