this almost extinct animal Sociotary
Morton has icplled to Mr Wilson , treat

respondent : "The suggestion was originally
made to Mr WiUon bn mutual filcnil in
Now Hampshire Mr. Moirlson who is a
' bit of a wag and \\lio has proposed this
thing as a joke. Hut Mr Wilson has taken
his pioposltlou in all seriousness and
actually bello\es that 1 would carefully con
sider the propriety to undertake as sceto-

The postofllco inspectors today arrested
Thomas K McCracken , a $900 clerk In the
ilcad letter ofllcelio is accredited to Ne
braska , for robbing the mails McCiackcn
is an ex-union\cteian who has fern number
of jears been employed in tlu dead letter
ofllce. Ho has been Icmllng money at usuri
ous to his fellow clerks for some time past.
An ho has beui draw ing such a small salary ,
the possession of sufficient money to loan has
excited comment , and the mat
ter was In\estigitcd. Tno chief of
division arrhea nt the conclusion that
McCracken was stealing money from the
dead letter mail. Ho was emplojed with
other clciks whoso duty it is to open the
dead letter envelopes Inagie.it many instances -
stances this dead letter mail Is found to con
tain currency. Though many safeguauls
are thrown about these clerks , every now
and then a clerk Is caught stealing. 'Hie
rase was placed In the hands of Inspcctois
nnd the old dodge of "marked currency was
plajert. The inspectors felt ccitain that
they had the right man and today Mc
Cracken was arrested and so\cial marked
bills weio found upon him.
IIuiI n Onoil Cliiinco.
McCracken has been emplojed in the
dead letter olllco for three jears as an
"opener , " In which capacity he had lull op
portunity for crooked work. His age , his
record as \otcr.in of the war and his high
standing in Nelnaska , whence ho had come
with the endorsement and friendship of sen
ators and other oftlcers , shielded him from
suspicion. McCracken was taken bcfoie
United States Commissioner S. C. Mills for
a healing. Ho waived the preliminary ex
amination , and the case was continued.
Hall was llxod at * 1,000 and McCraekcu was
held ut the Camp house timing the after
noon while his friends ende.uored to lind
the necessary real rstato securities.
They were unsuccessful in the attempt
One of the doputj marshals took McCr.icKcn
to see his wife before he was sent to jail
She is an old ladv about her husband's ago.
After this -visit McCracken was driven o\cr
to the Jail. McCracken served durincc the
war in the FortHlrst infantry and Second
cavalry of Indiana and was discharged as a
disabled \eteran. Ho was appointed to a
clerkship of class 1 at il..HjO in the 1'oatolllco
department May 18. 18bl. Senator Allison
and Hopiesentatlvo Henderson recommended
him for the position Ajcar later ho was
.promoted to an $ lbOO clerkship in the do-
partmcntj Ho resigned August 4 , IbbO nnd
rctuined to the west.
In April , IbWI , ho was rcnppointctl from
Nebraska upon the recommendation of Sou.
ntors Paddock and Manderson , licprcsenta-
lives Hendeison and Laws of Nebraska ,
into whose district ho had moved. The ic-
instatement was possible by rule 10 which
gives pilvllego -veterans , but his new
place was at a salary of $900.
McCracken Is said to have held the oflleca
of collector of internal lovenuo and countj
sheriff In Iowa. Ho is a benevolent looking
old man with white whiskers , was respected
by hi * assotl itcs and so far as known had nc
bad habits The amount of the various
robberies caunot be told.

Governor Altgeld anl\ed at Lcmont this
afternoon and Immediitph commenced an
Investigation of the tioublo which led to
jesteritay's tiagedj * Oovcinor Altgeld had
spcciallj lequcsted ttiat both sides bo icpio-
sontcdofllclallv at the conference to bo hold
In Maj or McCai tin's olllcc , which bad been
called bj him for the puiposo of making au
investigation into the trouble. None of the
contiactots , however , were present and the
time of the Investigation was almost cn-
ttielv taken up with healing the testimony
of some ten or fifteen stiikcis nnd their
sjmpith/cis !

After listening to the testimony and takinir
a few moments for consideration Govcinor
Altgeld gave out a statement. Itisinpait
as follows :
Uoxcinor Altccld Talks.
"I have talked with men who claim to
speak for the contractors and have ap-
pllol to cvcij * contractor , asking lor
liis version of the affair. I went to the
bceno of the snooting and asked for
scvci.il ilisintciested men , .iniong them some
men w ho saw the n ft air. I'lio Information 1
thus gained tends to show that the onlj violence
lence yesterdaj was committed bj a num
ber of men , both w Into and colored , iv ho had
been biought hero by one of the eontiactors
from the south , and who vvero armed with
rilles 'Lhcso men , it is t.iid , opened luo on
some strikers w ho were walking along the
tow path of the old c-anal , and weio not
making anj distuibanco llioj * weio not
going in the direction wheie work was being
done on the canal , and at the moment , the
flung bewail , thu strllceis on the tow path at
once begin to run being followed as thoj-
did so for about u mile by the diainago
laborcis all aimed with rifles "
After his icturn to Lcmont iho governor
stated it as his opinion , so far as his investi
gations had gone , that the shooting of the
strikers bj the men vvas unpiovoked and un
called for.

night's battle , and after wading through the
mud in the tow path came back to Lcmont
to gather information icgaidlng the occur

peivaded the place , and intimated very
strongly that unless ho had believed that
there was more tioublo than vvas evident ,
he would never have ordcied out the troops.
"I never saw a inoro quiet place in my
life , " ho said "Theio is eeit.iinly notning
at the present time , as far as I can sec , call
