GOODBYE TO BISSELL
Wilson Sworn in as Postmaster-General.
ASSUMES HIS DUTIES TOMORROW
VrslklBgBticlc Cut From the Presi
dent's Ground at TV oodley--W1H
LdlTt Tonight.
Washington, April 3. Contrary to
expectations, W. L. Wilson ' took the
oath of office -as postmaster-general to
day. Bisseil received the employes of
his department this afternoon and ends
his official labors today.
Mrs. Fuller, wife of Chief Jastice Ful
ler, and Miss Wilson, the daughter of
the new postmaster-general, were pres
ent at the ceremony. Bisseil and Wil
son conferred, and saw some heads of
bureaus. Then John Parson, president
of the Letter Carriers' Association of
New York, presented the retiring postmaster-general
with engrossed copy of
resolutions commending the adminis
tration of Mr. Bisseil, his enforcement
of the eight-hour law and his extensions
of the civil service law.
Secretary Gresham sent Bisseil a
hickory walking stick, which he himself
cut on the grounds of the president's
summer home at Woodley , and trimmed.
Shortly after these preliminaries the
employes of the department were intro
duced to Wilson, and said good-bye to
Bisseil.
Wilson will enter the active discharge
of his duties tomorrow. Bisseil leaves
for New York tonight to attend to pri
vate business.
The Income Tax Retpras.
Washington, April 3. Income tax re
turns are coming in far beyond the ex
pectations of officials. To save time and
avoid complications, collectors were in
structed to certify and send retirns
the 10th of each month, and, therefore,
no reports have been received of a date
later than March 10. Nevertheless
10,000 returns have already been received
and are beirjg verified and recorded. It
is estimated that returns made to col
lectors prior to March 10 represent at
least $1,500,000 income tax, and the
actual amount returned to April 1 will
aggregate $15 000,000. It is not ex
pected that returns to any considerable
number will be made before the 8th or
10th of April, five days before the time
limit expires, hence the showing is ex
ceedingly gratifying to those having the
matter in charge.
-Another matter of congratulation is
the little difficulty being experienced by
tax payers in filling out blanks. All
things considered, the work of collecting
the tax is going forward with very little
friction. It is expected that at ' least
$20,000,000 income tax will be collected
by June 1, the close of the fiscal year,
Officials do not express any doubts that
' the supreme court will sustain all the
important features of the law, if not the
entire act, as it stands, and are pushing
the work as rapidly as is consistent with
accuracy.
Cleveland's Brother Not Wanted as
Pastor by Bis Flock.
w atertown, jn. 1 ., April 3. By a
vote of 28 to 1, at an exciting session of
the Congregation of the Presbyterian
church at Chaumont, this county, last
evening, it was decided to ask Rev. Wm
Cleveland, brother of President Cleve-
'and, to tender his resignation. It is re
ported that politics have been the dis
turbing element, although Mr. Cleveland
took no part in politics. Cleveland will
appeal to the presbytery.
Escaped the Lynchers.

having narrowly eecaped a mob gather
ing to lynch the prisoners. Green and
his sons are charged with the murder of
David Hildebrand, in Crawford county.
AfUr the murder the body was burned.

heard on every side.
Dead Before Her Mirror.
Cincinnati, O., April 3. Annie Shan
non, a young married woman living at
45 Baum street, was found dead in front
of the dresser in her bedroom yesterday
morning. From the apperance of the
body she bad evidently been posing be
fore the mirror when death overtook her.
She was leaning on the dresser and her
head was turned coquettishly to one
side. Her eyes were wide open and were
staring full at the mirror. The body
was discovered by a young girl who called
at Mrs. Shannon's room. Her knock
was answered by Mrs. Shannon's 4 -year-
old child. When the girl entered the
room she saw Mrs. Shannon, as she
thought, preparing her toilet. She
spoke pleasantly, but was surprised at
receiving no reply. She walked over to
the mirror and laid her hand on the
woman, and then it was that ebe dis
covered that ehe was dead. She gave
the alarm, and in a short time the neigh
borhood was aroused.
Coroner Haerr was hastily summoned,
and the body was not disturbed nntil his
arrival. A score of people crowded into
the room, gazing in awe-struck silence
at the silent figure in front of the mir
ror. Dr. Haerr pronounced the case one
of the most remarkable on record. He
eays the woman had been dead several
hours. How it happened that she did
not fall to the floor, is what is most sur
prising. The doctor is of the opinion
that the woman was posing before the
mirror when she was stricken with death. .
She was of a prepossessing face and
figure.
An Extraordinary Career..
New York, April 3. Rev. James J.
Kane, D. D., late chaplain of the Brook
lyn navy-yard, is reported to be dying of

navy during the civil war. After the
war, while his ship was quartered in Ja-
macia, he caught the yellow fever and
died, so far as appearance went. He was
placed in his coffin, but'-although ap
parently dead, be saw and heard every
thing that passed. After eight hours in
the coffin he sat up, to the terror of the
colored man whose duty it was to keep
watch over him.
Some years later, " while in Norfolk
navy-yard, of which he was champlain,
he appeared to die the second time, and
remained in a cataleptic state 48 hours.
When he recovered or was resuscitated
he left the navy-yard, and completing
his studies, joined the church.
