THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
AN EXPECTATION THAT THE MEMBERS WILL SOON
BE APPOINTED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-It is expected that the
President will appoint the Civil Service Commls-
sion this week. He Is quoted as saying so to
the West Virginia Congressional delegation, who
were urging the appointment of Mr.. Hog, who has
got the names of nearly the whole House of Repre-
sentatIves. 1t is said, his papers for the Demo-
cratic place in the commission. The appointment
of Dorman B. Eaton seems TO be regarded
as almost certain, although it cannot be
said that the President has actually decided upon
It, The same feeling Is believed to Influence this
selection in part that led many Con-
gressmen to insist upon the Eaton bill
20 do exactly what the Civil Service REFORM
ers wanted 50 that if their expectations of the re-
form experiments should not be fulfilled they
should not be able to say that it was because
the right methods were not chosen. Besides this,
OF course Mr. EatOn's unselfsb interest IN the sub
ject bis great familiarity with it and the fact that
he is the author OF the bill have naturally pointed
to him as the first man TO be selected.
There seems TO be much more doubt about the
other appointments. 1t is not expected that IL Mr.
Eaton Is appointed any other Eastern man viii be
selected This would bar out Mr.. Burt whose ap-
pOintment rs Examiner Il preilcted
o. c. Moore, of New Hampshire. who was made
candidate by the delegation without his knowledge,
has written here urging that some better man can
lie found and suggesting that the East cannot ex-
pect two members The appointment OF slr Graves,
of the Treasury Department is not expected Proies-
sOr Gregory, of Michigan, Is mentioned as candi-
date. ~
1t is understood that the Democrat will be from
the West but Senator PendetOn, whose recon-
mendatiOn il was supposed, would be influential,
says he knows nothing about 1t.

ChicaGe Beef
Since the Wheeling Beef Company has
got into active operation, the depot near
the Hempdeld bridge has attracted visits
from quite . number Of curious people,
among them q REsIsrER reporter, who
strolled in yesterday afternoon to see the
operation of handling beef A description
OF the building has already been given in
the REeIsrER, bnt since that time several
ingenious appliances have been put
in and the general machinery OF
the building put in motion. In
the second story Of the refrigerator
room, Zarnitz Bros. have put about 20 tons
of ice for cooling purposes. How long this
will last Mr.. Zoeckler does not know, as
this is the first experiment. On either side
of the ceiling Of the refrigerator are long
slots, or openings, which permit q current
OF air TO pass. A feathe: held under these
openings, shows q current OF cold air com:
ing down OH one side and q current OF
warmer air going up On the other. The re.
suit is it keeps the temperature of the re-
fr:gerator about 8 mean Ut 40 degrees.
I'VE have found" said Mr.. Zoeckler,
that 40 degrees - the pest temperature ioF
the preservation OF meat. See how firm
this quarter is " indicating q beautiful pink
and white fore.quarter of beef. "If we re
duced the temperature any lower the meat
would be apt to spoil when it was taken
out" q,
Running through the refrigerator and
out into the salesroom is a telegraph
rail-" similar to that employed in the mills
for conveying blooms from the furnace to
the squeezers. A pully wheel running on
the rail, terminates in a hook below, which
is fastened into the meat. Four lines OF
this rail run through the refrigerator, aud
at the door switch of upon the two which
circle about the salesroom. In this way
the meat is carefully yet expeditiously han
died. Near the north end OF the sales
room the rail has a scale section, upon
which, without removing or unlocking,
the meat is weighed. The arrangement is
very simple, yet complete and satisfactory.
When q car load OF beef arrives, with an
average Of 80 head, the car runs to the door
and the hooked quarters are rapidly run IN,
the forequarters going to n side and the
hind quarters to another. Each set OF
quarters bears its separate mark, so that a
customer liking a certain beeye, can get 1t
entire il he wishes. When a quarter or
more, is sold, 1t is run from the storage
rails TO the. sales rail, which leads directly
out of the refrigerator door and renders
delivery easy.

IRON ORE
A Rich Field Struck ON the Conner
Farm.

A short distance below BeDwood, on the
West Virginia side, the placid waters OF
Jim's creek roll smoothly over the sand to
meet with those of the Ohio. Bordering on
The creek and about a mile back from the
river is the farm Of Z. A. Conner, an elder
ly granger with a mild blue eye AMI a
pleasing countenance. His outward APP
pearance is not that o. a silver king OF Ne
veds, yet Conner has struck iron ore OF
,uch quality and in such quantity that he
may fairly build hopes or one day becom-
il G a bonanza prince. He was IN the city
yesterday, having come here to leave a
sample OF his ore with the Benwooi Iron
company, and was ~overhauled and inter
viewed by : REGISTER reporter.
He said he had struck two veins OF red
ore, one So or / feet thick, and the other
from 6 10 s feet. ahd between them are sew
eral smaller ones. He has also found a
belt OF gray ore of 40 per cent. OF iron. and
one of black band, with a smaller yield.
A sample OF the red ore has just been ana
L. zed by Prof. Dwight, with the following
result.

Mr.. Conner said he had found pieces Of
the ore washed out, but only recently had
located it. He is now confident ne has a
big thing and expects a bonanza, as the
veins are easy of access and could readily
be worked. What is their extent or value
he does not now know.
"Have you ever had an oiTer?'
well, I've never been exactly on the
market. When the steel plant was agltated
l was anxious to have it down there and
wanted to sell out to the syndicate for cash
and for stock. l want stock in whatever
concern works the iron, for l have children
to provide for, you know"
Just at present Mr.. Conner is holding off
and developing his mineral wealth. but ex'
poets soon to go on the market and sell out
his find. Experts have pronounced the
ore first-class and il it is in quantity, its
location would make it valuable. Mr.. Con-
ner may have struck q bonanza Of the first
