Hayes and the Office Hunters. Washington, May 31. To a gentle man who called upon him recently the President said that he had decided to adopt the Jeffersonian doctrine of chang ing all foreign Ministers who had been in ofilce four years. In reading some of . Jefferson's works he found this doctrine set forth at length, and it met with his unhesitating approval, and would now constitute a part of the policy of his Ad i ministration. " No American citizen," said the President, " ought to serve his country in a foreign land longer than four years, and he ought to be content to return to his own country at the ex piration of that term of service." The President said further that there would be no exception to this rule. The Storm Record. Eastost, June 5. Last night a wind storm passed over the eastern end of Monroe county.

Last week the house of Samuel llader in Montgomery county, wasentered and Mrs. llader was shot and killed by one of the burglars. The husband attempt ed to shoot one of them but he jumped through the window taking the sash with him. The other went down the ladder with which he had entered the room. A clue has been found through Moses Sutton, a colored boy, in the em ploy of Commodore Itoekendorff, whose summer residence is at Penrhyn station, North Pennsylvania railroad, about three miles from the scene of the mur der. Button was brought to Norristown and examined by District-Attorney Got nals. He states that on the night of the murder he was Eeut on an errand by his employer, and on his way home was met and robbed by two tramps. After robbing him they compelled him to accompany them to lender's house get the ladder for them and place it up to the window. From the conversation of the men he judged that one of them was from Trenton, N. J., and the other from Philadelphia. One was a foreigner, he thinks a Swede or a Dane. He is cer tain that he could identify their voices, but not sure that he would know their faces, as they kept before him the great part of the time. The authorities think Sutton's story rather thin, and are of the opinion that he is the murderer himself. He is kept lu close confinement. The Wrong Corpse. When the body of a mau was found in the water at Boston the other day, one Spofford was couviuced from the descrip tions that it was his nephew, who had left that day for Peterboro, N. II. He went and saw the body and identified it even to a brier-wood pipe in his pocket, and the Spofford family vault wwuld soon have had a new tenant if a tele gram hadn't been received from Peter boro, stating that the , nephew had just arrived there alive aud well and with the brier-wood pipe in his possession. , A Woman in Flames. , Miss Mary -Hylic, ; a young lady of Lancaster, Pa., but known as the " Ban ner Woman," has for some time enter tained the harmless idea of placing ban ners in conspicuous public places. On Sunday morning, with a strange banner in herpdssesslon, she went to St. Mary's Catholic Church. Upon reaching the door she lighted the candles in the ban ner, and, as she was about to enter the building, an usher stopped her, because her appearance would interrupt the de votional exercises of the congregation. At this moment the banner Ignited from one of the candles, and In her effort to extinguish the flames her clothing took fire. She wore a heavy waterproof cloak, which partly smothered the flames. She was taken home and placed under the care of a physician, who found her severely scorched about the body. It Is said that while her clothing was burning she was not the least agitated, because she believed that she was pro tected by higher than mortal power. Story of a Survivor of the Wreck George S. Wright. San Francisco, June 4. A survivor of the wreck of the steamship George S. Wright has been found in the person of an Indian named Coma. It was sup posed that all hands were lost, but when the Indian was recognized in Nunaimo, British Colombia, last Friday, he made such statements as led to his arrest. It appears from his statement that the boilers of the steamer exploded and the vessel immediately commenced to sink. All those on the vessel were killed pr drowned except one boat load which in cluded Captain Ainsley, four United States officers, one passenger and the Indian Coma. After the sinking of the vessel they landed near Cape Caution in a destitute condition. Coma then says : " A day or two afterwards three canoe loads of Indians came to the spot and Captain Ainsley offered the leader $500 to convey the shipwrecked men to Fort Rupert. Four of the Indians , were armed with muikets with which they killed all the whites. , They tied stones to their bodies and after robbing them of all their valuables sunk them In deep water." Coma has been taken , to, Vic toria, V. I. and , to-day he was , eon fronted with four Indiana and identified two of them as belonging to the party of murderers. -., , , : A Bridge Falls Loaded With People. At Bath, England on Wednesday last a celebration was held. About half-past ten in the morning, on the arrival of a train-load of excursionists on the Wey mouth branch of the Great Western Railway, to attend the Agricultural Show, between 130 and 200 persons, be longing mostly to the well-to-do farmer class, rushed upon the tall bridge leading from the railway platform. The bridge was wooden, of light construction, nar row, about 30 feet long and between 30 and 40 feet above the river Avon, resting upon posts morticed into stone-work at either end, and without a centre sup port. The bridge snapped in the centre, and the two ends were wrenched clean from the sides. ; The whole mass, with the people, was plunged, into the middle of the stream, which was about seven feet deep. Boats from , the shore were immediately at work rescuing the living and searching for the dead. It Is estimated that twelve persons were killed and over fifty Injured, some of them fatally. Railroad Accident. . Wednesday morning a train on the Hocking Valley railroad, When between Sugar Grove and Mlllvllle, Ohioj ran upon an unsound track which gave way, throwing the locomotive into the river and wrecking the baggage car and pas senger car. James Kilburn, of Colum bus, had a leg broken. Mr. Milton, the mail agent, Mr. Eflinger, civil engineer of the road, and Robinson,the engineer, were slightly injured.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. ,-, - Washington, D. C, June 0, 187". Great things nio expected from the do ings of the next session of Congress aud many are the plannings and conjecturings of political circles in legard to it. Prelim inary steps aro being taken as quietly as may be, and much anxiety is felt by work ers for certain measures. Several leading politicians have been in the city of late, iu fact, have been back and forth from their own homes here since Congress adjourned. Senator Blaine, among others, has been a frequenter at the White House recently and many comments have naturally been made iu regard to it. Ho does not make his business public, as he says the people well-know he is no weather-cock, aud the stand ho took upon the Senate floor laBt Spring will continue to be his position. He expresses his dissatisfaction with and uubcliof in tho President's Southern policy publicly aud decidedly, at the outset, and his views on that point remain Unchanged. Great men popular men even the best, are always sure to be severely criticised. Secretary Sherman is just now a very pop ular man, aud no person in the country is receiving more criticism. Not even the President. It is known that he has a ' policy" that he is determined upon work ing out, and that is enough, Down with him '. We don't want any specie resump tion ! We don't waut the National debt paid ! Nor the tariffs revised, nor civil ser vice reform in any shape. Secretary Sher man goes off on a tour of inspection of harbors and we call it a pleasure trip, and censure him accordingly. He keeps to his business Sundays aud all and the band shows an appreciation of the sanctity of the day by serenading the Secretary with "Marching through Georgia" and "Near er my God to Thco." We sarcastically propose that ho looks after the posts on the plains and say he might possibly get a chance to inspect a biill'alo or two. And still, iu spito of all our fault-finding and cutting remarks, the obdurate man keeps on just as if he were pleasing everybody. : Dcooration day was observed by allolass es here as is usually the case. It occurs at so pleasant a time of year that it is the most enjoyable of all our holidays to those who cau have any but sad thoughts and feelings on that day. Twelve years have healed and softened the wounds made by that dreadful war as far as they can ever heal and the rising generation remember little of the anguish felt then. It is better so, and, as the years go by, although the cemeteries will still be visited and our flowers distributed therein, the day will be fraught with pleasing, rather than bitter remembrances, and memorial day be but the return of delightful plcuics and excur sions.
