Nearly eTeryone in "Washington thinks Governor Beaver's nose was pulled yester day. The Governor denies the rumor.

" General Beaver, do you intend to apologize for your treatment of me during the inauguration ?" The speaker was indignant. Indeed, he was real mad. It was Major J. A. Armes, a retired army officer, now in the real estate business. The scene was the rotunda of the Riggs House. Time, 4 o'clock this after noon. Governor Beaver had just returned from a call on the President, and was about to take a drive. Only a few people were in the hotel corridors at the time. "Apologize?" exclaimed the Governor. "I don't know what I have to apologize for. I have done you no injury." "Your treatment of me. was insulting, sir, and I demand an apology," said the Major, in a loud voice. "And I will not apologize," answered the Governor firmly. A Utile Too Quick for life Major. "With a quick movement Major A-rmes reached out toward the Governor's nose, and in another moment that precious member Would have been wrung-in the most humili- eling manner, but-lbeGdveTior was as TcWlx11aEdd'thr grasp of the Major, whirled his crutch in the air, and made a decidedly scientific pass at his assailant's head. Unfortunately ho aimed just a trifle too high. The crutch passed over the Major's head and struck one of the pillars of the rotunda. Persons acquainted with Armes then got hold of him and hustled him out of the hotel. "Within five minutes the report was, over the streets that .Major Armes had actually got the Governor's nose between his fingers and had tweaked it unmercifully. The Malar Says He Succeeded. Major Armes himself stood abont the street corners and in the saloons boasting he nad made good his threat of pulling the sacred nose of the Governor of the mighty State of Pennsylvania. The hotel "bouncer" danced abont the hotel office asking where the scoundrel had gone, though this same "bouncer" was within six feet of the Major when the attempt at assault occurred, and made no movement to interfere. He was paralyzed. 'Correspondents began to rush for the hotel. Politicians gathered in groups and discussed the matter, and for the time the surprising nominations of "Bob" Lincoln and "Pat" Egan were forcotten in the melee occasioned by the onslaught on the one-legged Gov ernor and late chief officer of the inaugural pageant. Of course everything was greatly exaggerated. One story had the Governor's nose badly disfigured. Governor Beaver In a Good Humor. Anxious to get the exact truth regarding the momentous affair, the correspondent of The Dispatch called on General Beaver. That gentleman laughed pleasantly when inquiry was made about the matter. - "Ob, no, he did not touch me," said the Governor, and proceeded to give the brief details of the occurrence as above described. "There is no doubt the man is a crank," he continued, "and hardly responsible for his action. I had nothing to do with his re moval from the inaugural procession, though I really ought to have had something to do with it. I care nothing abont his attempted assault on me. It is a trivial matter, and I wish it were possible to have nothing said abont it, but I suppose that can't be." Major Armes is the person who was ad vertised all over the country in the descrip tion of the inaugural parade as riding a horse beside the carnage of the President, followed by a negro groom, also on horse back. The Cause of Armes' Resentment. Under orders from General Gibson, chief of Governor Beaver's staff, he was removed from the procession by policemen. He had wanted an appointment on the staff of Governor Beaver, bnt was rejected. Then he vowed he would ride at the head of "the procession anyway, and did so until he Was lorcibly ejected from the line. A few days ago he preferred charges against General Gibson for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and at the same time swore he would get even with Beaver by pulling his nose. Tears ago Armes was dismissed from the army by the verdict of a court martial. The case was afterward reopened and Armes was reinstated and placed on the retired list, but he has always been a little queer and a good deal of a mischief-maker, and has been given the cut direct by his fellow officers. He has an uncontrollable desire for notoriety, and is congratulating himself this evening that he will wake up famous to-morrow morning. Why the Governor Called. Governor Beaver's sole errand to the cap ital to-day was to say an earnest word for August Donath, of Chester county, for Public Printer. It is agreed by all disin terested persons that Donath is well equipped for the position, and his backing is admitted to be powerful, politically, but for some reason the President finds it de cidedly difficult to make up his mind, and so the many high officials and emlnent-poli-ticians who have urged Donath are growing restive, and have determined to make new and more urgent efforts to bring about his appointment. Governor Beaver spent some time with the President, and earnestly argued the qualifications of Donath, but Mr. Harrison would only answer by dis cussing the great responsibilities involved in the management of the Government printing office, and by assuring the Gov ernor that he had not yet decided whom he would appoint. Not to be Had for the Mere Asking. A delegation of business men will come on from Chester in a day or two, and with Senator Quay, will visit the President and assure him ot the business qualifications of Donath. Ex-Congressman Nichols, of North Caro lina, feels sure that he is to have this office. Major Meredith", of Chicago, is still more sure that he is the man. Albert Childs, formerly Chief Clerk of the office, who is an Ohio man, believes this evening he will get the place because the President did him the honor to make a pun upon his name. Gen eral Grosvenor championed Mr. Childs to the President, and Mr. Childs made a little speech, which he concluded by saying: "i am not pledged to man, woman or child." "And yet you ask me to pledge myself to a Child?" said the President, with a saucy ex pression, and Baby McK.ee laughed loudly in the background. NO TROUBLE TO FILL IT. A Berth That a Number of Western FennsyN vnnlnn. Would Accept. tfrrcxu, TXLsanAK to tbk dispatch.! "Washington, March 27. A report which was in circulation last evening and this morning that Hon. J. S. Butan was to be appointed to the office of Commissioner of Customs, to succeed General McCalmont, of Franklin, has received no further verifi cation than mere report. The news came from a law clerk in the office of the Solici tor of the Treasury, who merely inquired of a Pennsylvania clerk as to who Butan was, and remarked that he believed it had been decided to appoint him Commissioner of Customs. Hon. Henry C. Johnson, of Meadvllle, who held the place for years previous to the advent of Cleveland, wonld, it it said, like his old place. Hon. C. L. Gilfillan, of Franklin, is said to be an applicant also, and another report is that ex-Congressman Franklin Bound, late of Dauphin county district, who has been a candidate for Solic itor General has transferred his affections to the Customs Commissionership. The salary is 4,000. ONLY. ABOUT A WEEK MORE. The Senate Expects to Adjourn Next Wednesday or Thursday. "Washington, March 27. After the ad journment of the Senate to-day, the Repub lican caucus resumed its sitting and dis posed of the tyro questions Tinderconsidera- Xtv-aed of clerks, which would, result 'in an over draft of the contingent fund, was illegal, and therefore the scheme to make all com mittee clerks annual clerks will fall. A resolution was adopted, however, to give Senator Vance, of If orth Carolina, a per sonal clerk. He has lost one eye, and the sight of the other is failing, and his JRepub lican colleagues deemed it only just that he should be spared the necessity of using his remaining eye to conduct his official corres pondence. It was also finally decided not to continue the debate on the Southern election out rages. The ceneraT opinion, so far as ex pressed, was that the Senate might reason ably expect to be able to adjourn "Wednes day or Thursday of next week. GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS. The New Republican Appointees Taking Their Positions. "Washington, March 27. Messrs. Bach ellor and Tichenor, Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury, will assume their new duties Monday next. Messrs.

Corporal James Tanner to-day took the prescribed oath of office administered by Mrs. S. S. Sampson, a Notary Public employed in the Pension Bureau, and entered upon his dnties as Commissioner of Pensions. His only appointment to-day was that of George B. Squires, of Brooklyn, K. Y., as his con fidential secretary. Mr. Squires was Assistant Adjutant General of the Grand Army of the Repub lic during the years 1876, 1877 and 1884, and Judge Advocate General during the years 1880 and 1881. PARTISANSHIP NOT SERIOUS. Attorney General Miller Thinks Efficiency Cover Political Sins. .. -"Washington, March 27. Attorney General Miller said to-day, in answer to an inquiry on the subject, that he had not out lined any general plan or policy in regard to the marshals and district attorneys ap pointed by the last administration. So far as he was concerned each case would be considered on its own merits. He did not look pn partisanship as a very seri ous thing in itself, provided the official was efficient and gentlemanly. John C Kew Will Pnl Through. "Washington, March 27. The nomina tions of Lewis "Wolfley to be Governor of Arizona, and of John C.

The Colonel announced his coming in a dispatch to Mr. Childs from "Washing ton. He was in the best of health, and eager to set out on his mission. Mr. Russell Harrison was in the jolly party assembled in Mr. Childs' office shortly after noon. There was little talked about save the Colonel's good fortune, which he frankly ascribed in large part to the good offices of Mr. Childs. Mrs. Grant seemed charmed with the prospect of a four years' residence in Vienna. Her eyes danced as she chatted about it. She enjoys a speak ing acquaintance with the French tongue, and is glad ot the chance to make use of her accomplishment. The Colonel said that he expected to sail in about four weeks, and that it was more than likely that his mother would make one of his family.

George von Bonnhorst, as chief of staff, ii active and watchful, as becomes the lieuten ant of a political leader who has an up-hill fight before him.

No point is being lost sight of, and anyone who wants to be convinced of the righteousness of Mr. Magee's cause has but to walk up one pair of stairs In the Lochlel Hotel. On Friday morning some one, in behalf of Mr. Magee, will move to place Senate bill No. 70 on the calendar. It isn't his in tention at present to fight the matter out then, but to let the resolution go over until there will be more time than there is on Friday to debate the matter, and more mem-i bers to take part than are usually present at the last session of the week. quay's men vigilant. The Quay forces anticipated the first at tack this morning. A number of gentlemen asked the privilege ot recommitting bills, and in every case Mr. Brooks, of Philadel phia, was on his feet to interpose an objec tion, in case it should be the Magee resolu--flnn- One objection would have ruled it out Original resolutions were not part of the regular oraer oi tne any, ana. it requires unanimous consent to depart therefrom. The next step, had an attempt been made to secure nnanimous consent, would have been a motion to suspend the rules. This also would have failed, requiring a two-thirds vote. Mr. Magee and Chairman Andrews met this morning, just after midnight It was in tbe office of the Lochiel Hotel. The Pittsburg leader was leaning against the counter, talking to Resident Clerk Voor hees. Mr. Andrews entered and approached. He passed close enough to brush Mr. Magee's elbow, A most distant flet of recognition occurred.

As he left tbe counterand walked toward the stair way to go to bis room, there was n height ened color on his cheeks, probably due to the extreme frostiness ot the circumjacent atmosphere. Senator Upperman was one of the few legislators of prominence who did not know tbe object ot Mr. Magee's visit here. "Why," said he in a tone indicative of sur prise, and with a lifting of eyebrows that was quite becoming, "I had understood he was here to attend the wedding of Senator Cameron's daughter." As stated in these dispatches last night, Senator Quay will not be here. A CAEEFULLY MADE BILL. The Hines incorporation bill will proba bly not be returned from the Honse Street Railway Committee until after the trial of strength with Mr. Magee. There are some amendments to be made to it in addition to those promised Mr. Capp, at least further amendments are asked. The intention of the Quay people is to carefully consider all suggestions now before them, and then to weigh the amended bill very carefully be fore reporting it to the House. A bill that will satisfy all legitimate needs in the description of the measure it is intended to place before the members of the Legislature.. la other words, the bill is ex-' pected to be of such a character that no amendments can be made to it on the floor of the House by means of which Mr. Magee might claim a victory. Mr. Magee is to be blocked on this point as well as on the bill he desires to place on the calendar. QUAY STUDYING EAIXBOAD LATV. Chairman Andrews went to "Washington when the Legislature adjourned last week, and Mr. Quay's mind, it is understood, has since then been working on the vexed ques tion of street railway legislation, and when llr. Quay's mind works it produces some thing worth talking about The result of the late national election is a living monu ment to this fact. The members of the Legislature are not permitted to forget these things, and are given to understand in addition that it is Mr. Quay, and not Mr. Magee, who ' is, in consequence, dealing ont the federal ap pointments in the great State of Pennsyl vania. Such reminders have great weight with gentlemen who might otherwise feel charmed by the seductive influences brought to bear by the Republican leader from the only second-class city in the State. SlMPbON. THE BORDER RAIDS CLAIMS. Provision for Their Pnynent Deferred A Chance for Offlco Seekers. rrrtOH A STAFF COERESrOHDENT. Haebisbueg, March 27. The House to night listened until 10 o'clock to Captain Skinner, Mr. "Wherry and Mr. Kreps, in favor of the border raid bill, and to Captain Johnson and Mr. Lytle against it, and then killed it by a vote of 92 to 66. Captain Skinner then presented a resolution for the appointment ot a commission to consist of the Governor, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House nna members of the Legislature to push before the next session of Congress the claims of the people of the border counties for their losses during the rebel raids. The new county bill had just one. more Tote than enough to see it through this morning, its intent is to mane a new county out of portions of Luzerne and Schuylkill, and it is very freely alleged that its main purpose is to create a lot of new offices to be filled.

Roberts, of Titus ville, in whose behalf a petition was, in cir culation here only to-day. Governor Beaver and all the State officials had signed the petition, as had the President 'pro tea. of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, 3ff Senators and a large number of Representa tives. Ex-Chairman Cooper, who is 801440 have been a candidate for the Mexican com mission before he was assured 'of the Col-' lectorshlp of the Port of Philadelphia, -was ambng the signers. In fact, he was just on' the point of signing the paper the second time, when he thoughtfully inquired what. it was for, and erased the half-made second signature, on getting the information. There is no doubt that Mr. Cooper is to. haye the Philadelphia Collectorship, and, as a guarantee of good faith, he divides tbe leadership of the Legislature with Senator Delamater and Chairman Andrews, to the complete satisfaction of these two gentle men, Vho are only too glad to turnover some of the hard work to the Delaware county Senator. The three gentlemen ex press not the the slightest feeling of alarm over the effort of Mr. Magee. They are nqt talking for publication, but those pre sumably near and dear to them say tney hive things just about as they want them. Chairman Andrews has been much out of his seat in the Honse. both tn-dnv and ves- terday, and has been observed "in earnest converse, about the House and elsewhere, with members. He looks satisfied and hap frwand wears tbe bland smile that is so be coining to his style of beauty. Senator Delamater wears another that is a match for.it, and the doughty son of Mars from the ceenty ot Delaware was never known to be Qtper than hopeful.

A number of respectable appointments were made by the President, yesterday, but L the grumbler is abroad. The coveted En glish mission going, unexpectedly, to Rob ert T. Lincoln, following the Grant and "Walker Blaine appointments, causes a lot of talk about this being an administration of great men's sons and grandsons. Mnrat Halstead is to have a hard time getting con firmed. Considerable news about the ap pointments is leaking out ISFZCIAL TELIQRAM TO THE DISPATCH. "Washington, March 27. Senators Cul lom and Farwell have heard intimations in the last day or two that the President con templated the appointment of Robert T. Lincoln to be Minister to England, bnt they didn't fake the hint, and "this morning the President sent for them and asked their opinion about Mr. Lincoln, whom he had decided to nomin ate. Senator Farwell said that if the Presi dent wanted a first-class lawyer for the posi tion, as he understood he did, and was dis posed to give Illinois the appointment, he would suggest Mr. John N. Jewett But the President made it clear very soon that he had decided to appoint Mr. Lincoln, and what he wasted was not advice, but an in dorsement The Senators stated that they had a high regard for Mr. Lincoln, and would be glad to see him appointed, but Mr. Farwell re minded the President that Illinois had asked for several things it had not got, and its chances for these things" ought not to be impaired by its receipt of other things that it did not ask for. btbuok all op a heap. None of the Illinois Congressmen were asked about Mr. Lincoln, and, most of them never heard him mentioned in connection with the office' They take the nomination, in different ways. "Without any personal feeling against Mr. Lincoln, nearly all of them in strict confidence confess that they' are mad. Of course no one likes to openly denounce tne nomination, bnt in private conversation they talk with ex treme frankness. There is Clark Carr, who is always -worked to death by the party during a campaign, and for whom the whole Illinois delegation asked a good thing and urged him as strongly as they conld, and here is Mr, Linceln.who stayed in Europe during a good part of the campaign, and for whom the delegation asked nothing. Carr gets nothing and Lincoln gets the biggest prize (fa the d,ipiomatic service, and the pollti-SaBrre-joi.!IIhU is- .txclaimeEl night, lOTS OFGEOWIiINO AND SWEABTNG, One of the leading Republicans of Ohio denounced the selection in round terms. "Whenever a group of politicians collects and discusses the nominations there is growling and swearing to a exy unusual extent Congressman Cannon said this afternoon that hi had never heard Mr. Lin coln's name mentioned in connection with the office, andlo was therefore surprised at the appointment, but he knew that Mr. Lincoln had enough ability and character to discharge the dnties of his office admirably, and he believed the appoint ment would be a popular one with tbe country. Congressman Hopkins was another who thought the selection was instrinsically good and would gratify public sentiment. At the same time, no nominations that were in themselves thoroughly respectable, have been made for a long time that have excited so much bitter denunciation as the appoint ments of Messrs. Lincoln, Rice and Loring to-day, and especially, among Illinois and and o'ther Western men, the appointment of Mr. Lincoln. SONS AND GEANDSONS ON TOP. Of course, the gentlemen who resent Mr. Lincoln's selection refuse to allow their names to be published in tbe papers, but the appointment of Robert Lincoln, following close upon the appointment of "Walker Blaine and Fred Grant, and coincident with the great political activity of Russell Harri son, has inspired a great many caustic re marks to-day, to the effect that this is an administration of great men's sons and grandsons. It is putting it very mildly to say that the growling over to-day's nominations is lond and deep. There is almost a revolt, and only the exercise of sharp party discipline will prevent a bad break in the Republican line. Tbo confirmation of Mr. Halstead's nomination is very doubtful. At least seven Republican Senators are outspoken in their opposition to him on account ot his at tacks upon them in the Commercial-Gazette for refusing to vote to unseat Mr. Payne. A bittee fight to be made. " The nomination goes to the Foreign Af fairs Committee, of which Mr. Payne is a member, and he will have the support of all the Democrats on the committee in his fight against a favorable report Mr. Evarts is one of the Republicans- on the committee who is very angry at the nomination. He voted In favor of Payne and strongly resent ed Mr. Halstead's criticisms In a speech in the Senate. Messrs. Ingalls and Teller are two more Republicans who will fight the nomination if it ever gets out of committee. Seven Republicans in all are believed to be immovably opposed to confirmation. One of them said to-night that every re source of the filibustering art would be seized upon to prevent confirmation. The New York Senators do not object to Mr. Allen T, Rice for the Russian Mission, as nobody particularly desired to go to that bleak and uninviting post. Mr. Elliott F. Shepard's friends are disappointed, how ever, as all the missions that New York will get have now been allotted. a begulae bobn diplomat. Mr. Hicks, of "Wisconsin, who gets the mission to Peru, like Mr. Rire, is the editor of a review, the Oshkosh Review. Uncle Philetus Sawyer when asked about him to day closed h'li left eye and said: "I never seen such a man. He is a born diplomat" Patrick Egan, of Nebraska, wanted to go to Mexico and was sent to Chill. Ex-Congressman Ryan, of Kansas, wanted to go to Chill and was sent to Mexico. There are murmurs of disapproval over Dr. George Beautiful Loring's selection for the Portuguese mission. One of tbe rising young statesmen of Massachusetts was in dignant. "If they wanted a back number.'l he said, "why didn't they take Boutwell?" Atogether, it was an interesting day's work. It is an interesting fact that the French mission-was offered to uncle Joseph Medill, of Chicago, before it whs tendered .to jut. x.eia. Seronton'a Bemocratla Postmaster Has bered With the Missing A Congress man Who "Was Something of a Hastier What 'Charges Coast. Scbanion, Pa., March 27. Daniel W. Connelly, who was appointed postmaster of Scranton in May, 1883, and commissioned by the President and then confirmed by the Senate in January, 1866, and recommis sioned for four years, has been removed on charges of incompetency. Hon. D. M. Jones has been appointed in his place. Mr. Connelly was given an opitortnnlty by Con gressman Scranton to resign when the four years dating from his first commission ex pired May 15, 1889. He felt, however, that he could hold over until January 20, 189a Congressman Scranton then concluded to see what could be done for the Republican candidate for office, and left Monday afternoon for "Wash ington, saw the Postmaster GeneraLearly on Tuesday morning, had the matter before a Cabinet meeting at noon, and in the after noon left "Washington, knowing that Mr. Connelly's removal was ax. assured fact The Postmaster General, it seems, was not at all sanguine of tbe Congressman's success in having the postmaster removed, but said he Wonld lay the matter before the President a Cabinet meeting to be held at noon that day, that this was the first case of the kind that had been broueht to the no tice of the administration, and would be of wide interest as a test case, and that he was doubtfnl as to whether the President would comply with Mr. Scranton's request The President, however, sustained the member from this district, fixing this pre cedent It is jclaimea here that charges made by a member of Congress over his sig nature concerning an official in his district were a sufficient cause for his removal. ALMOST BUT NOT QUITE WON. A Widow's Salt for Damages for Her Hus band's Death Nearly Succeeds. (SPECIAL TXLXGBAU TO TBI DISPATCH.l Columbus, S. C, March 27. A very remarkable court case has just terminated in Greenville. The case 'was a suit for $10,000 damages, brought by Mrs. Sally Hughes against Richard H.

He is now serving bis sentence. This is the first case ever tried in this State under the statute of 1859, allowine damages to be recovered by the wife and children or other beneficiaries of a man who has been unlawfully killed. Tbe trial be gan last Saturday. The plaintiff produced witnesses to prove the manner of the killing to have been of such a nature that had death ensued from the assault damages could have been recovered, and to show that Hughes was an able-bodied man and the only support of a large family. The line of tbe defense was that the killing was In self defense, therefore no damages conld have been recovered had death not ensued, and. that Mrs. Sally Hughes was not tbe legal wife of John Hughes, who had another wife living when he married her. v Congressman Perry was one of, the attor neys for the plaintiff, and Jacobs, although in the penitentiary, was very ably repre sented. After staving out 12 hours, a mis trial was ordered, 11 of the jury standing for the plaintiff and one for the defendant . PARALIZED AHD DITORCED.

Tbe drive was a distance of over a mile, and was through the most crowded streets of the citv. Bishop, blindfolded, went straight to the biding place of the needle, but immediately fell in a fit His body became rigid and streams of perspiration poured from him.

Mr. Keely's counsel announced to-day that the former has now in bis possession the "missing link," which was needed to make the "vibratory vesonator and etberial gene rative evaporator" a success. It is a cop per tube in the form of a hoop, with the ends welded together so perfectly that no joint can be seen. It was found necessary to go to Provi dence, R. I., to have it ,made, as no Phila delphia manufacturer would undertake the making of it It had to be made of copper because of that metal's resonant properties.
