Major Armes , who assaulted Governor Heaver , of Pennsylvania , In the lobby of the IllgRS house the other day , for having re fused to recognize him a * a member of the grand marshal's staff on Inauguration day , will bo'court-inartlalcd. The charges were filed to-day. Armcs is on the retired list of the army and liu will bo dismissed. W1NIWIM ICKOltOANlZlNfl HIS O1TICH. Mr. Windrlm , the now supervising archi tect'of the treasury , is progressing rapidly with the work of reorganizing his ofllcc. Soon after President Cleveland was elected , Mr. Bell , the then supervising architect , bean - | ; an to dismiss republican clerks nnd em ployes of the oflleo and to fill their places with democrats , at the Instance of Messrs , Gorman , Camden and other democratic senators , in order that ho might roUin his own position through their influence the longest possible time. Supervising Architect Wlndrlui began operations on these gentleman. Ho has accepted the res ignation of the chief clerk , the hnv cleric and the contract clerk , who were appointed prior to Mr. Harrison's Inauguration , nnd it is understood around the ofllco that a number of others will go this week. Mr. Windrlm's administration promises to bo tha most suc- ocssful since the cstablismont of the ofllco. Bio is a thoroughly practical architect and appreciates the importance of having under him good architects and draftsmen , and also M uood clerks In all the departments of his oittce. The men ho has chosen to fill the vacant positions thus far have been these who have been tried .for years nnd who wore removed solely on account of their political fealty to the republican party. OOINO CUUI3IS.-O. It Is probable that the president and Mrs. Harrison will leave on a revenue cutter lateen on next Saturday afternoon and take a cruise down the lower Potomao and around the Chesapeake bay , from where they will re turn'on Monday or Tuesday. Tlio rovcnuo marine- service , through the secretary of the treasury , to-day placed ono of the cutters nt tha disposal of the president aud Mrs. Harrison risen , and arrangements are being made to man it thoroughly. Presi dents Arthur nnd Cleveland used to frequently take these trips , es pecially during the heated term. Some I times they were made to extend as far us the lower North Carolina Coast to the south , eras as farup , north as Maine , aud on a few oc casions the party included nearly all of the cabinet and several senators. It Is under stood that the president and Mrs. Harrison will have no guests , with the possible excep tion of two or thrco members of the family. Presidents Arthur and Cleveland never had a fonmlo member of their families with them on ono of thcso trips. They always had a "staff party. " ocmtTiiEE not.i > 9 Tirn FOIIT. , Among the various nominations which wero'lef ' t unacted upon whori.thf ) senate ad- ijourned Us , extra session ori lost- Tuesday was that of Robert F. Bebout , to bo post master at Rushvillo , Ind. , vice Thomas M. Ochiltroo , removed. During the recent campaign Ochiltroo was often out on the streets in his city , it is alleged , abusing re publicans and making himself politically ob noxious to the patrons of his ofllco , to the neglect of his official business. When Gen eral Browne , the congressman who secured the removal ot Ochiltroo , called upon the postmaster general to ask action , the tatter official said there must bo specific charges upon which to make the removal. These were filed from citizens of Rushvlllo. When the nomination was sent to the senate commit tee on postofilcos and post-rouds it was-placed in a pigeon hole. Several days elapsed ana a call was made at tlio com mi t- tco room to ascertain why action was not taken , when'It wus learned that the charges upon which Ochiltreo was to ba removed would have to bo substantiated before the committee. The papers were sent for and received from the postoftlco department. Then it was stated that In order to receive action from the committee the persons who hud made these charges 'would ' have to be summoned from Nashville to testify under oath and In person as to the truthfulness of the charges made , There was not time be fore the senate adjourned for this henrlm ? , and so the nomination rests' quietly in the pigeon holes of tho-committee to-day. Ochll- trco , tha democrat , wilt thus bo permitted to hold the ofllco until the senate meets again in October or December , unless the president should conclude to commission Bebout bo f ore the nomination Is confirmed. Thls\is not probnblo. The action of -commltieo rroates a precedent against removals of dem ocrats' to iflnko place for republicans , which may prove very troublesome to * the men in congress who are being bcmosed by office Beckers. TVII.T , VISIT OMAHA. Mr. Glover , Mr , Illlcy and other member * of the board of directors of the Washington & Georgetown railroad company will leave to-morrow on a tour of inspection to several of the cities where the cable road Is la opera tion , They will visit Chicago , Kansas City , Omaha nnd Denver , and learn what tire the latest devices and Improvements in the con struction of such roads , and this knowledge will bo utilized in the building of the cable roaa on Seventh street , which the company proposes to do at once. They expect to stop several day * in Omaha , A MB All OAI.M. A dead calm has settled down upon Wash ington. The came crowds of ofllccseekers , led by senators and representatives , go to the wldtu house and the several deportments uvery day. but they are gvttlug no satisfac tion , and the most of them are about ready to po homo. Tha president has indicated very plainly thai ho I not going to make- hastn for any one , nnd It Is useless for the candidates to como to the wlrito house to xuako personal appeals. Ho haa Informed several people that ho understands their coses perfectly nnd needs no further information mation , nnd his nints in thin respect are too plain to bo mistaken. The southern republi cans are particularly disheartened in their efforts to obtain appointments , and what little Information they bavo been nblo to secure at the v.'hlUi hbuso Is very disheartening. Wtillo the president will not suy thnt ho intends to appoint democrats to oOtco In the south , ho makes no secret of his purpose to select the best men ho can got , regardless of party.

Father Tnlccn Ills Child From Her Life of Shame. At 10 o'clock last nlpht William Nlghtln- gnlo cnllcd uoon Ofllcers Frost nnd Newman to assist him In ns sad n mission ns a father ever undertook the rescue of his daughter from a house of 111 repute. For a number of months past Nightingale's oldest child , a young girl scarcely sixteen years of age , ha been keeping company with a fast crowd of young people , nnd has caused her parents no end of trouble. Despite all remonstrances she persisted In attending dances In somewhat questionable quarters nnd her persistency lea to her downfall. Two weeks ago Bho loft her homo , and slnco thnt time , until last night , her father has been tnmhlo to dis cover her whereabouts. On Sunday last ho received nn Intimation thnt his dnuahtcr was stopping In a bawdy bouso on Ninth street. Ho visited the place , and falling to find , her , took hope in the thought thnt she had not abandoned her homo for n life of shame , but that Mho might bo staying with friends , possibly dreading to return homo for fear of rood- mnnd. Yesterday evening , however , Night ingale received proof positive that his daugh ter wan In the bagnio that ho had visited , nnd that the mistress of the plnco had lied to him when ho went to search for her. Ho accordingly vUltcd tha place with Ofllcora frost and Newman to endeavor to persuade his wayward child to return to her home. The sight that was presented to the broken hearted father's eyes when Ofllcor Frost opened the door at Pearl Mock's place WHS sufllcicnt to render his dispalr maddening. On a sofa near the center of tha room , sur rounded by painted sirens and disreputable men , dressed to render her charms con- splcious , reclined his daughter receiving the caresses of a frequenter of the bagnio. Nightingale paused at the entrance unable to move or speak. The vision of police buttons banished the mala haugcrson of the place , and the father aud daughter were loft alone. Tlio girl was completely overcome , and 'with ono cry , fell fainting Into her father's arms. The tittering want ons catno to the child's relief nnd soon suc ceeded In restoring ; her to consciousness. When oho hud recovered she expressed her willingness to accompany her father homo , nnd left the placo. A cant. Tor Chicago. Fools'-common , ordinary every day fools , were talked about last night nt the First Bautlst church. Such was the subject of a lecture delivered by Dr. P. S. Henson , a ministerial gentleman of Chicago. It was an interesting topic and there were lots of nco- plo who wanted to hear themselves talked about. In fact the auditorium of the church was crowded. By way of explanation and to square himself with the audience , tno lec turer , who by the way is apparently a genial and humorous sort of gentleman , stated that the lecture' had not been prepared for an Omaha audience. It was for people in an other locality not very fur from Lake Mlch- igau > Around tnu Ijoop. Last night the trains of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Motor company for the first tlmo made trips around the "loop , " consist ing of Fourteenth , Howard and Twelfth streets and back again to Douglas.

The flames lit some In stances leaped 100 fcot of plowed ground nnd rushed away on their career of destruction. All ordinary precautions were In vain. The spring has boon very dry and tlio top of the ground has been dusty or baked , nnd an ox * trcmoly high wind prevailed during the llros. Under these conditions , whenever the flro touched the grass It burst out with a flash almost like powder and shot away across the pralrlo like nn arrow , Its course ever widen- ng. To extinguish It by. water , of course , was out of the question. Tlio plowing of flro breaks was slow work , and the high wind often drove the flames across them. It was curly In tlio afternoon when the pcoplojof Mount Vcrnoii saw the wldo spreading prairlo northwest of them break out Into a blaza. Tlie sinoko was dashed Into nnd through the town on wings of wind. The flames rushed after with savage fury.

Our renders are doubtless all familiar with the Robinson poisoning cases , which have recently como to light in Somerville , Mass. , a suburb of Boston. It scorns that eight deaths huvo oc curred from ai-soiiteal poisoning , seven in ono family , and within live years. It is doubtful if the murderers would have boon brought to justice had not an or ganization in which the victims were insured began an investigation as to why so many persons had suddenly died in ono family. But the 'aeiiBation from u medical point of view connected with the case , took place in Boston nt a recent meet ing of the Massachusetts Medico-Legal society , when it tyus stated by Dr , Ilolt that tlioro was a Jgdfcprul ignorance of ' the symptoms of aPs'onienl poisoning and because of such ignorance the Robinson poison Wj'casoa ' Ixid gone on without arousing the suspicion of medi cal wen.

What tlicso nro going to be , the representa tives of the Atchlson company In this city say they do not yet know.

Gould himself , or someone ono representing him , will bo found to hitvo been elected when the ballots are counted. Kidder , Peabody & Co. have also Issued a call for proxies , but this is not taken as any indication of n struggle between the banking house nnd Gould for control of the Atchlson , for the reason that the banking interests ami Gould have been for some time using every effort to settle the bitter light that tins been raging among the railroad companies of the southwest ns well ns northwest , and which has resulted In the most disastrous year these roads have over experienced.
