A Philadelnhia Horror.
TWO LITTLE CHILDREN DISCOVERED L
Up IN A CLOSET.


UP IN A CLOSET.
Yesterday afternoon two children were found
in an unoccupied house, locked up in closet,
in the 25th ward OF Philadelphia, one dead, one
living. Their names are Annie Raglan and
Maggie Mulroy, aged five years. They have
been missing since last Wednesday, and various
rumOrs were rife as to the cause of the death of
Annie Rsgar. Maggie MuirOy, the living child
was bruised slightly. AT the post n,orte "a exam
inati0n yesterday afternoon it was clearly shown
that the dead child had not been rayished; she
died of suffocation. Her stomach revealed the
fact that she had eaten nothing for nearly As
hours. This goes to strengthen the opinion that
the title ones bad strayed into the house and
accidentally locked themselves up in the closet;
but the testimony of Officer Dinger and others
is to the effect that they made a search of the
house Thursday afternoon, and that the chill
dren were not there at that time. A physician
says the bruises on the knees, hips, and elbows
of Annie Raglan are easily accounted for, as
they might have been caused by the child's own
efforts to get out OF the closet, or inflicted by
Maggie MulrOy, who, when found, was sitting
on the dead body of her companion. Maggie,
when taken from the place of conf nement,
made the remark, "a woman took me to the
country for gum doll-baby, and when got
back a man put me 10 the closet" The child
was labOring under great mental excitement,
and the statement is not credited. The theory
Is, that some one, out Of pure hatred of the
Mulroy and Raglan families, hid the children to
annoy the parents; or that some boys or idiotjc
persons caused their imprisonment in the closet
and now fear to confess.

The modified civil service rules are ten in
number. One of them declares that while il is
not the purpose Of the rules and regulations
either to restrict the power OF removal or to
extend the tenure Of service, such power will
not be exercised arbitrarily, and no person will
be removed for the mere purpose Of making a
place fer any ether person. Female clerks,
copyists and counters, at 500 year, being be-
low the grade of clerkships of class one, selec
lions may be made by the appointing power, at
discretion from the list of these reported coR,-
petent, being at liberty to give preference to
ssch as may be justly regarded rs having the
highest CLAIM to public consideration. ApPli-
Giants for appointment as cashiers OF collectors
OF customs, and other custedians OF large su ms
81 public money, for whose fidelity another ofi-
Ger has given official bonds, may be appointed
at discretion; but this rule shall not apply to
any appointment to a position granted below
the grade Of assistant teller. In cases OF aefal
cation or embez IleReHt of public money, or
other emergency calling for immediate action,
or when vacancy happens at place remote
and difficult of access, and the methods pre-
scribed for filling IT can be applied without
causing delay injurious to the public service,
the appointment may be made at discretion,
but this rule shall not apply to any place which
is provided to be filled under the rules of COM
petitive examination. The new rules provide
that the states shall be grouped in five districts

The examinations in the first district will be
held alternately at Boston and New York; in
the second, which embraces the states of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and
the District of Columbia, at WashiRgton; i'm the
third at Cincinnati and Detroit; IN the fourth
at st. Louis; and in the fifth at Savannah and

held not more than twice in any one year in the
same district, except in Washington, where an
examination may be held in respect of each of
the departments as frequently as the head of
such department, subject to the approval Of
the President, may direct. The commission

REPETITION OF THE STORY OF THE MoDoC
MASSACRE OF GEN. CANDY.
NEW YORK, June 2l.-A. b. Meacham, chair
man of the peace commission to treat with the
ModOcs, and who narrowly escaped the fate Of
his associates, Gen. Candy and DR.. Thomas, is
in this city, on his way to Fort klamath, where
the military commission for the trial of the
captured members of the band will sit. Meach-
am has no use of his right hand, the nerves of

the natural size. There still remains a slight
scar on his forehead, from ball, and from the
same cause lump is on the right side OF his
bend. Other wounds-received on the ear, in
the side. and elsewhere-have entirely healed.
HIS STORY OF THE TREACHERY
which resulted in the death OF Candy and
Thomas is but a reiteration Of that already told
Meacham says that himself and the Others had
full information OF the fate in store for them;
but as Candy and Thomas would not accept
the warning he could not remain behind while
they went into danger. Ii was Captain Jack
who gave the signal for the slaughter and shot
Gen. Candy, while old Schonchin attended
to himself with pistol and knife. In the issue
Of the forthcoming trial he expresses no doubt,
but the MOdocs who participated in the assas-
sinatiOn will be
CONVICTED AND EXECUTED.
The effect Of virtual acQuittal or pardon after
conviction would be disastrous. With such a
result before their eyes, the turbulence of other
tribes could not be restrained. The v hite men
who murdered the Modoc prisoners should be
hanged, Meacham thinks, on the same gallOws
with the Indian murderers.
DURING THE WAR
the Modocs killed and wounded about three
soldiers for every warrior in their FORCE at one
time numbering not more than sixty-fve, and
during the first three days fight they not only
held out against eight hundred troops armed
with every appliance of modern warfare, but
kept passage open for retreat which even the
Warm Spring Indian scouts could not close
Meaeham advises that these not guilty OF par
ucipation in the massacre be remsnded to their
reservation. To distribute them among other
tribes would be punishment to some only. His
idea of the best policy for the future is that all
tribal lines be abolished, and that the Indians
be made answerable to the laws, and be placed
on the same footing with other murderers IN the
