The Death of Bud Ea.IeSsOn.
THE NECESSITY FOR UNION DEPOT
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 16, 1882

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Does II not seem strange that the afflicted Deo-
pie OF this community are compelled to wait until
a few Senator's are killed by the engines OF death
they permit TO move in our midst before those
dgnitarieS are convinced OF the necessity OF a
Union depot? Here, within two or three weeks, a
worthy citizen has been crushed into an un-
recognizable mass at each depot, and in both in
stances the cause Is traceable to gross misman-
agement Nor can either of these last two acct
dents OF the number which have occurred be at
tributed TO drunkenness on the part of the vic
tins. But this is not the worst feature. remem-
Der, few years ago, when man. by the name OF
Barney Sullivan, was knocked into a shapeless
mass by locomotive near Ivy City, and brought
In on a freight car The bloody and dirty remains
were placed across two Jacks, in the miserable
greasy blacksmith shop OF the B. and o. depot and
his wife sent for to view the body In suchsa condi-
lon l sat up that night with others, and well re-
member how the poor creature screamed and
wrung her hands at the CHASTITY sight, made worse
by the surroundings And when last night
i saw the mangled corpse OF poor Eagle
ston, who had worked so hard and earnestly
to reform the employees OF the rer-y road, the
cars OF which killed him, lying across two
jacks near pile OF old black rat-infested lumber
In their blacksmith shop, when empty cars were
all around and cleaner rooms in the depot: l
heard some one remark: "ThiS is outrageous,
1t is adding Insult to injury. Isn't the fIeight
depot little betteT?" E. p j.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORMERS IN MASSACHUSETTS,
meeting of citizens of the fifth congress
sional district of Massachusetts was held in Bos-
ton yesterday and formed the ''cvil service re-
form association of the fifth congressional dis
trct," with William Endicott, jr., as president
and ten vice presidents, including President
Eliot and an executive committee of thirty A
constitution was adopted which provides that
the association may indorse or oppose any party
or independent candidate. but such action is
not to affect the right of each member to vote
as he pleases. President Eliot of Harvard
spoke on fixed tenure of office He believed
appointments to the civil service should be
made by board SO constituted that the conn
try would believe it non-partisan, and it would
De well to have the first, and perhaps the sec
Ond. appointment for fixed term. If every
vacancy. when it occurred, could only be filled
by this board from lists prepared by the board
ITSELF it Is indifferent how many vacancies occur
and when. He was perfectly aware. however,
that those composing the Senate and House can.
not be trusted to legislate on this subject in
good faith.

PENDLETONS PRESIDENTIAL BOON.
An electioneering bureau, it is asserted. has
already been arranged in Cincinnati. with Mr..
John q. Thompson at its head, having for it's
aim the securement of legislature favorable to
to the Hon. George H. Pendleton's reelection
to the United States Senate. With this i'm
portant work accomplished he would, in the
event Of democratic success and his election as
Senator, have performed the preliminary task
of starting boom in Ohio for the presidency In
1884.
