Rema rkabae 8ufctde--A Quadroon Girl
 of Fourteen Years DKOwns Herself.
 TRENTON, Got. 14.--A remarkable suicide occurred in this city late Friday night, Mamie H. Gordon, bright quadroon and daughter of Andrew s. s. Gordon, a colored barber, being the victim. She was in her fifteenth year, and she and her little brother Andrew were the only pupils of colored percentage who attended the Center street public school. Early last week trouble was caused in Mamie's class room by the circulation of vulgar parody on the ballad ssOver the garden wall. 0ns of the boy pupils was suspected of hay ing introduced it. and the teacher of the class, after obtaining possession of the ballad, handed it to the prin- cipsl. He read a lecture to the pu- pills. and said he would write letters to their parents, notifying them of their mis- conduct. Mamie Gordon felt keenly the threats of the principal, and told her little brother Andrew that if the principal reported her she would kill herself. Friday she showed much nervousness and avoided the company of her parents. She neglected her studies at school and showed remarkable downheartedness. She was at her usual place at tea table Friday, and when the meal was over A6k9Q QSt DTOtQ61 H n61 R8L6u6H had received any note from the principal. When told they had not it did not console her, as she then said, 'I can't stand this; I'm going to drown myself or take poison" Her brother paid little attention to her threat, believing that she did not mean it. She left the house at z o'clock, and not re- turning at late hour the worst suspicious about her were aroused and the police noH- fed Searches made for her were fruitless until morning, when her lifeless body was found floating In the Delaware. A post mortem examination failed to find any marks of foul play, and there is no doubt but that the unfortunate girl committed suicide by drowning.

The Civil Eervfce-A ReclassiRcmtfon of A EmpIoyes Demanded.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-In conversation to- day on the subject of reclassifcation of government employees so as to bring within the operation of the civil service rules em- ployes receiving less than $9Oo per annum member of the cabinet said: '"The civil ser vice commissioners desire the reclassifcation to include all employees excepting laborers and workmen. The difficulty now will be to decide whether or not messengers and watch men are to be chased ss lsborers.n The re- quest of the civil service commission for 8 new classification of employees receiving less than $900 appears to have been suggested by the recent appointment of openers and pack CTS made by Appraiser Ketcham in. New York. In speaking of these appointments Mir. Eaton of the civil service commission said: 'sFhere was no violation of the civil service rules in this case as charged because the men appointed received but $820 per Rn- mum. Whether or not the president will de- eide to extend the operation of the rules to this class of employees remains to be seen"
 An Alleged Ring to Defraud the Govern a# SIS ment
 -- WASHINGTON Oct. 14.-Charges were re- CeQGy u4SQ W4bn OeCEoeh1y Suhuu161 Dy h junk dealer of Washington that ring had been formed to defraud the government in the purchase of condemned material now be- ing sold at auction at the different navy yards. It was alleged that the dealers had combined to get the articles at the lowest possible prices and then divide among them selves the difference between the actual worth of their purchases and the prices paid for them. The charges were specific as to the sale at the Norfolk navy yard, where 1t was asserted that the members of the ring had already divided profit of about $50, ,000 among themselves as 8 result of sollusion with the auctioneer. The Secretary directed a suspension of the sale at Norfolk, but as an investigation showed that the charges were much oVerdrawn and arose from dis sensions among the dealers, he subsequently revoked the order of suspension. The mat ter will be thoroughly investigated.
