Is This Civil Service Reform!
National Associated Press to the Star.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE true in
wardness of the removal of Miss Electra e.
Smith, the Postmistress at Sterling, Ill.,, and
the nomination of J. M. Patterson to sue
ceed her, is as follows: Mrs. Smith is the
widow of soldier who died in the service
She was appointed about five years ago, and
has filled the office to the entire satisfac-
ton of the citizens of that community and
the Post-office Department, her office hay
ing been recently complimented by a
Special Agent of the Department for the
very efficient manner in which she had dis
charged her duties. There are no charges
of any kind against her to justify her re-
moval. Patterson is local politician of
some notoriety and a friend and supporter
of. Representative Burchard, of that dis
trict. For several years Patterson has con-
Quoted banking business at Sterling, but
recently failed, with large liabilities. the
principal sufferers by his failure being the
business men of that city and vicinity.
This has created very hostile and bitter
feeling against him. Yet, in the face of all
this, Representative Burchard has induced
the President to remove Mrs. Smith and
send in Patterson's nomination for the
Office
This proceeding was kept from the knowl-
edge of Mrs. Smith, the first intimation
being derived from the announcement in
the newspapers of the nomination of her
successor. She Immediately came to Wash
dent, Senators Davis, Hanlin, Kirkwood
and Terry and Mr.. Burchard. The Presi-
dent said he could do nothing for her, as
Mr.. Burchard had recommended the
change; such matters were left to the men,
bers of Congress. Mr.. Burchard told her
that though there were no charges against
her, and it was acknowledged that she had
performed the duties of the Office in
highly acceptable manner, yet it was his
opinion it would be better to have man
in the Office, who could do more political
work. Mrs. Smith stated both to the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Burchard that she failed to
see the consistency of the civil service re-
form policy which was being applied in her
case.
She was the widow of soldier who died
during the late war while in service. There
was not the slightest vestige of complaint
or charge upon which to base her removal.
On the contrary, both the citizens of Ster-
ling and the Post-office Department had
commended her administration of the Of
a place for petty politician and bank
rupt, whose appointment Is made against
the expressed wishes of a large majority of
the citizens, and this action is based upon
the plea of political expediency in the face
of famous civil service order of the
President. The Senate Committee on Pos
tai Affairs have taken deepinterest in this
case, and have deferred reportingon Patter-
sons nomination in order that Mrs Smith
may have fair hearing. 1t is probable, un-
der the pressure that will be broughtt to bear
the President will be compelled to with
draw Pattersen's name, as there is no doubt
the Senate will reject him.

Bertha Won HiIlern Successful.

Miss Bertha Won HiIlern finished her
eighty-nine mile walk in twenty-six hours
Saturday night and had nine minutes to
spare. The record of her walk up TO her
sixty-ninth mile on Saturday afternoon has
been published in our late edition Of Satur-
day. After that mile she walked until she
finished the .eighty-second mile, when she
rested eighteen minutes, and after the
eighty-fourth mile twenty-five minutes.
She returned to the track to complete the
walk with the last two miles at 1921 P. NJ,
and came in after the last mile at $40 and
10 seconds. The total time was 1851. The
plucky little pedestrienne was hailed with
deafening cheers on the completion of her
hard task. She promises to give another
exhibition at an early date. This will be an
attempt to walk one hundred miles IN twen-
ty-eight hours on March 10th and Goth.
This is considered by Miss Won Hillern the
most convincing proof she can give of the
benefits of her mode of living Yesterday
she attended the Cathedral in the morning,
and showed no signs of her late tramp.

THE LATEST
THE ORANGEMEN AND CATHOLICS.
Another Collision Which Ends in Blood.
National Associated Press to the Star

National Associated Press to the Star.
MONTREAL, March ia desperate and
bloody fight took place yesterday afternoon
between the Orangemen and Catholics.
From early morning large crowds of ex.
cited young men were going about drinking
and quarreling, and about 8 o'clock the
two factions met. Bob Harkins and Bob
Hurst, two noted desperadoes, representing
the two factions as ring-leaders, were soon
in a dead lock.
Their knives were drawn and they were
stabbing one another in the thighs when
Hurst's brother rushed in and was cut
through the shoulder, receiving severe
wound. A Catholic named Peter Lacey
went to Harkins' assistance, when he was
stabbed in the arm, and two of his fingers
cut off as he grabbed the knife.
The fight then became general The po-
lice arrested all the wounded men and dis
persed the mob of about five hundred per.
sons. Just after dark the, fighting com.
menced again. A young man named James
Cunning Bill received pistol wound in the
side and lies in dangerous condition.
Two Orangemen named Carpenter were
arrested, and the police attempted to take
others, but failed, owing to the tumultuous
mob, which was only dispersed by the ar
rival OF the entire police force. A deadly
hatred seems to exist between the lower
classes of the two religious factions and
blood is being shed in different parts of the
city almost daily.

TERRIBLE TORNADO IN ATLANTA,
A Church Blown Down and the Congre-
cation Buried Beneath the Ruins.
Great Damage to Property Through
the Whole City.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star.
ATLANTA, Ga, March u.-Atlanta ex-
perienced yesterday the most severe wind
storm or rainless tornado ever known here.
The storm burst suddenly about II O'Clock,
a. m., and when all the churches were filled
with worshipers, and lasted, without rain,
with steady and tremendous force two
hours. The Episcopal Church like others
was filled for service, and no thought OF
danger was entertained by the congregation,
but during the early part of the service the
wind suddenly rose and shook the whole
building to its foundation.
The officiating minister realized at once
that tornado had struck the building, and
knowing it was only question of minutes
to secure the safety of the people cried out
to them to throw themselves under the
seats. This advice the congregation at once
followed, and not moment too soon, for
with few fearful creaks and jars of the
roof and walls, the whole building crtmbled
into shapeless ruins, burying the congTega-
ton under the debris. Luckily, the shelter
afforded by seats protected the great mass of
the congregation, but eighteen were more or
less seriously wounded by falling tmbers.
None of these, however have died of their
injuries The church is an utter wreck, and
the escape of the congregation must be re-
garded as miraculous, considering the aw-
full force and suddenness of the storm.
Many persons, not otherwise injured, suffer
fran inhaling the dust, caused by the
crushing in of the walls and roof. Several
other churches in Atlanta were seriously
injured, their walls shaken, and roofs part
ly stripped. The City Hail was entirely
unroofed, and car-sheds of the railroad de-
pot unsettled Great damage was done to
private residences and stores throughout
the city.

AFTER HAYES AGAIN.
Another Move to Test His Title to
the Presidency.

National Associated Press 10 the Star.
WASHINGTON, March 11-For day or
two the air of Washington has been full of
fresh rumors of intended judicial proceed
ings to contest the right of Mr. Hayes to
the Presidency; but they are based upon
the preparation of memorial to Congress
by Judge Black, who has been closeted for
several days in private quarters at Welcker's
with prominent Democratic politicians who
are opposed, like himself, to allowing the
question of Hayes seat to remain undis-
puted. Prominent among these gentlemen
is Montgomery Blair, who unsuccessfully
introduced similar memorial into the
Maryland Legislature
1t is said this last memorial will be pre-
sented in Congress by Proctor Knott, of
Kentucky, when he can get the floor on a
suspension of the rules to-day, if possible.
Blackburn, of Kentucky, was originally to
have introduced the resolution calling for
inquiry as to whether the President had
improperly appointed persons to office.
This was aimed at Anderson and similar
cases of the Louisiana Returning Board
members, who have been indicted. He was
asked by Judge Black to withhold this
resolution, because Committee of Con-
ference was sitting to provide wider and
more searching and effective inquiry. Mr..
Blackburn surrendered his resolution.

Ehe Late n. r.. Pooling sche me,


CHICAGO, March 11.-One of the novelties
of the new pooling arrangements projected
ut the late meeting of managers in New
York, and which is to be carried into effect
by freight commissioners, who have author
ity to perfect all necessary details, is that it
shall embrace East-bound business originat-
ing at Chicago, Cincinnati, indianapolis,
Milwaukee, st. Louis, and all common Mis-
gissippi River points, such as Rock Island,
Burlington, Davenport, st. Paul, and others
covering all the principal railways running
out from Chicago None of the representa-
tives of the roads were represented at the
New York meeting and presidents and
managers are not little surprised to learn
their lines had been included in this sweep
ing arrangement.
They assent to the plan asked by tele-
graph yesterday, and they replied that
they could not be expected to
give decision regarding matter of which
they were totally ignorant. They were
nature or details of the arrangements, and
hardly prepared to give their assent to it;
in fact, they will probably not care to be
iuciuded in the pool, as their lines do not
prorate with Eastern roads, except from
one or two points on the Mississippi. 1t
begins to look as if the Eastern managers in
their zeal to form big combination rather
overreached themselves, and may have to
curtail their scheme somewhat.

Hoard Of Revision.

A called meeting Of the Board of Reyis-
ion was held in the Mayors Office for the
purpose of appointing an expert account
ant to 60 through tile City Auditors books
All the members were present, and after
the reading of the minutes the resignation
of S. W. Ramp, who had been appointed at
previous meeting. was read and accepted
Applications from the following named
gentlemen were then read: w. H. Moore
E. C. Miller, VIM. Ampt, Peter Mnn, Rob-
D. w. G. Gates, Geo. w. Jones, Mark
Hollingshead, G, A. Nourse, VIM B. Will
ian,s, b. E. A. Davenport, John M. New
ton, VIM. Hall, ]. A. Mittenheimer, VIM.
Varth, James Baker, r. A. Butler, James
Murphy and D. w. E. Gates.
The Mayor then suggested that the ap-
pointment be deferred until an appropria-
ton from Council for that purpose be made
since the Board had not the power itself to
raise the funds. Resides it was doubtful if
the Council would make such appropra-
ton, and the investigation might ON this
account fall through.
Mr.. Winkler thought the money might be
raised by private subscription, but after
some further discussion Mr.. Bates moved
that a man be appointed and set to work,
and then if the appropriation was not made
the work would be stopped. This motion
was carried, and the Board then went into
secret session to discuss the merits of the
different applicants.
During the secret session the Board de-
cided upon the name of J. NJ. w. Gef, an
experienced accountant who has an Office ON

JERSEY CHURCH SENSATIONS.

The VOsburgh Case i'm Jersey City.
National Associated Press to the Star.
JERSEY City, March 11.-A crowded con-
gregation in Madison Avenue Baptist
Church at Bergen yesterday indicated plain
ly the deepinterest felt in the Vosburgh case
The assemblage included people from all
parts of the city, many attending from
curiosity and others from sympathy.
The pastor was expected to make some
allusion to his troubles, but under advice
of his counsel Ex-Gov. Bedle and ExISena-
tor Winfield, he was silent on the subject.
After service, large number of the con-
gregation waited on him, shook him cor
daily by the hand and extended their SYM
pathy. At one time several ladies strug-
gied in an effort to grasp his hand at the
same time, and the pastor feelings for the
first time gave way. AT the pastoral resi-
dence Mrs. Vosburgh made her way feebly
down stairs and limped to the back parlor,
where she sat for half an hour with Mr..
Vosburgh's sister, during the reception OF
friends, and then returned to her room. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Vosburg is &C.
eused by his brother-in-law Of having poi,
soned his wife, and is now under 81, 900 bail

hundreds of strangers visited the village OF

Messing lively scene in front of the staid
old Baptist Church building, wherein Rev.
w. w. Case officiates. Mrs. Vincent Mount
and her husband were to have been the
leading actors; at least they had promised
they would about a week ago. But no such
scene eventuated. The services in the
church were not interrupted, and every
thing went on in quiet manner
Hundreds of people who drove 10 the
village in buggies, carriages, wagons and
other shaped vehicles and most of whom
congregated in front of the church, were
very much disappointed and about an hour
of noon they commenced to wend their
way homewsrd Six stalwart constables
prevented repetition Of the extraordinary
scenes enacted recently The trouble was
caused by the distribution Of property in a
will recently made public. Mrs. Mount ac-
cused the pastor of lying about her mother,
and Mr. Case wanted Mrs Mount to stop
making faces at him in church. Feeling is
decidedly in favor of Mr.. Case, and but
very few sympathize with the Mounts Ham

as was there yesterday.

New YORK, March d1.-Count Joannes
delivered lecture last night at Gilmore's
Garden on Hell" but failed to attract a
large audience. Very many of those who
were present had evidently attended for the
fun, and during the lecture kept up run
ming fire of jokes, and about O'clock were
so boisterous that the Count had to call Oh
the police present to preserve order This
was done without any arrests being made.
The substance of the lecture was about the
same as that one delivered by Bob Ipger-
soil three weeks ago, claiming that there
