CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

Hayes civil service reform is never men
toned without derision and producing con-
temptuous smile. The stream which flows
tom a filthy fountain can never be pure, and
everything that emanates from a tainted
President is necessarily corrupt. So soon as
the fraudulent President placed his wrists

his Disgrace he promised to put none but

anointed, made so immaculate that they were
not to be allowed to come In contact with the
contamination Of d political canvass. The
idea of an Office holder being the proprietor
of Hayes organ, which daily burns incense
under the Presidents nose, would have caused
the pure and immaculate Hayes to swoon in
commissions. But this promised civil service
reform has become a farce. Grants gang Of

The &eistIach MYsferv.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-The Geistlach
tragedy is still shrouded in mystery. The
first supposition that the deed was done by
Mrs. Gelstlach Is now considered erroneous.
Some of the facts upon which the new theory
ID based are the distance at which the chloro-
form was found from the body of the dead
mother, the circumstance of the rear portion
of the house being open, and the discovery
against the fence of the yard, which has no
gate, o. board as if used by some person
who had climbed into the next yard which
has gate, for the purpose of escaping by
the rear. Nothing has been heard of Geist-
ZACH. The funeral of the victims takes place

A Zine PropelIer On Fire.

PORT HURON, June 1O.-The fine propeller
Montgomery took fire and burned to the wa
ter's edge at half-past twelve o'clock last
night, while at the Point Edwards dock. Her
lines were cast off and she drifted down the
river four miles, where the tug Crusader
showed her on the Canadian bank. The fire
originated in some broom-coru that was
slowed on deck. 1t is supposed that some
person had been smoking pipe, and prob
ably some OF the fire fell into the straw.
Every effort was made to extinguish the fire
before the propeller was cut loose from her
mooring, but without success. Her cargo
consisted of corn, wheat, -four and merchan-
disc, which was probably insured. There is
some insurance on the propeller. The tugs
Crusader and Wilcox are now working at her,
and will tow her to this city this afternoon.
