Selecting Headquarters.

About the appointment of Chief Examiner
Selecting Headquarters.
WASHINGTON, March 12-The Attorney
general has given an opinion to the Presi-
dent that the chief examiner under the civil
service commission is an officer OF the United
States, and as such his appointment is vested
in the President The question of selection
of chief examiner has however, been re-
ferred to the commission, and the appoint
ment is to be based upon their recommends
ton.
The members of the Civil-service Commits
sion met by appointment at Wizards Hotel,
this morning, and then proceeded to inspect
the apartments offered as headquarters.
Judge Thoman, one of the commissioners,
said: "We want three rooms for the COM
mission proper, and large room in which
to conduct examinations" After the COM
missioners have secured quarters they will
prepare for the work for which they were
appointed. Rules for the government of the
commission will be adopted, and the mode
of conducting examinations be agreed upon
The commission have not vet formally con-
sidered the matter of the appointment of ex-
aminer-in-chief, but will do so after they
have established themselves in headquarters.

The Regular Daily Display of Judicial Tenn
per-Is Peck Dead?
WASHINGTON, March 12.-In the star-route
trial to-day the court showed much annoy
ance at an attempt or the part OF the defense
to argue upon the admissibility of a certain
class of papers after the court had ruled them
out, and peremptorily ordered Mr.. Henkle to
be seated. That gentleman promptly noted
an exception to the language of the court, to
which Judge Wylie rejoined sharply: "The
court will use any language that will be
effective for the purpose, and will not stop
at language, either"
Mr.. Wilson offered in evidence a paper in
connection with the Kearney-Kent route,
showing, he asserted, that Brady had refused
a request for expedition, although, if the
governments theory were correct he might
have pocketed some money without risk by
granting the request.
Mr.. Merrick objected, because it was an
otier to show that man had not committed
one fraud by showing that he did not COM
nit another and subsequent fraud. At the
date of this refusal 1850, Brady's acts were
under investigation by Congress. He had
been called upon to explain q deficiency
of 50, 900, 900; all of the contractors had bee
warned of their danger and had been called
upon to stand by Brady for his protection as
well as their own.
The court said it could not assume, at this
stage that the government had proved fraud,
for that was what they were trying. The mo-
tives of the Second Assistant Postmaster
general were worthy of serious consdera-
ton; the act offered to be proved tended to
throw light upon these motives, and the
paper should be admitted Mr.. Merrck's
stntpment ahni1t the conpreSSiOnal invas
ton was not matter for the court to pass
upon; it was rather for the jury to consider.
Walsh's testimony had been introduced to
show Braiy's habit, and this evidence would
be received for the same purpose.

special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Specia to the Indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON, March 12.--The marriage of
Senator David Davis, Wednesday, at Tokay,
N. c., occasions good deal of pleasurable
interest here at his home, where he has lived
nearly all OF his manhood, and where he is
almost universally known and esteemed
highly by all. Judge Davis reached his
sixty-eghth year few days ago and is hale,
hearty and active. He is still corpulent, but
not by fifty pounds as heavy as he was two
years ago. He resides in a very elegant and
beautiful mansion on the east edge of
the city, built by him twelve years
ago on the spot on which stood his
old homestead. The Senator'S first wife has
been dead about three years. She was one of
the best and purest of women, whose simple
life and ways and exceeding charity made
her beloved everywhere. The Senator has
two children, son and daughter, both mar
ried, the latter being Mrs. Swayne, of Toledo,
wife of a son OF Justice Swayne. While
Judge Davis is a millionaire, his possessions
are largely in real estate. and the rumor that
he snilh4 reSsnt h n hide with half million
in bonds is simply ridiculous 1t is not pos
sible that he has so much accumulated in
cash, and such a present would be a very
peculiar action for man so little addicted
to sensationalism or extremes.

The Huntertown Murder.

special TO the indianapolis Journal
Fort WAYNE, March l2.-Charles Shellner,
killed by Commodore Wood on Friday night
last in BallOu's saloon, at Huntertown, ten
miles north of this city, was buried to-day,
the funeral attracting great concourse of
people. On Saturday evening the coroner
viewed the remains. His report merely
states the facts, without making any recon-
mendations or eliminating Wood, who is
yet in Jail. The matter is being investigated
to-day by the grand jury, which prolonged
its session in order to hear the testimony.
Wood and his friends fully expect to prove
that the killing was justified by the circunl-
stances, and expect to show that Shelner
was dangerous character, and that the fact
that Wood regularly avoided him evidenced
the fear in which the dead man was held

Lilley Seriously Hurt by Dorsey.

Washington Special
1t is reported that the illness of Judge
William Liley, the aged lawyer who was as
saulted recently by ex-senator Dorsey in the
house of the latter, is more serious than had
been expected, and that there are some ap-
prehensions that he cannot recover. Should
Mr.. Lilley die from the result of his injuries
received in this encounter, Mr.. Dorsey
might be involved in much more serious
suit than the one now pending against him
in the star-route matter. Mr.. Lilley is a
man over seventy years of age, but robust
and hearty, and does not appear to be more
than sixty, but he was at disadvantage in
this encounter according to the statements
of those who witnessed it, for the reason that
he was sitting when the assault began, and
after having been thrown to the floor was
severely kicked about the abdomen. There
was one witness to at least a portion of the
assault man named Brobt friend of Mr.
Lilley.
Another special says that Judge Lilly will
bring an action for damages when suffi-
GENTLY recovered to consult With his attor-

There has been no evidence of his death"
Mr.. Ingersoll presumed so: at any rate, his
wife had been a widow for several years.
Mr.. Merrick said no witness had testified
to his death.
Mr.. Ingersol said there could be no doubt
of Peck's death; still, he believed the govern

Mr.. Merrick-Well, he has always been a
mythical sort of person.
Mr.. Ingersoll-EIe has been myth, and is
not ghost.

THE PRESIDENT.
The Reports Greatly Exaggerated as to His
Health.

The Reports Greatly Exaggerated as to His
Health.
Special to Chicago Tribune.
The reports as to the illness of President
Arthur are greatly exaggerated. The only
trouble with him is slight catarrhal cold,
and the trouble that comes to most society
people here resulting from high living. Cen
eral Arthur has been the center of the social
world this winter, as well as the head of the
administration. The duties of the one have
been exacting as those of the other. There
have been few days that the President
has not dined very elaborately, and he
has taken but little physical exercise. His
cuisine has been abundant, and his wine Gel
lar unsurpassed. The President needs some
relaxation, and change from the high-pres-
sure life that he has been leading since his
return here last fall He is neither troubled
with nor threatened by'any serious Illness
His physicians have recommended rest, and
Florida has been suggested, but it is hardly
probable that he will take the time for so
long trip as one to Florida and besides it
has been suggested that it is rather late in
the season to go there account OF the
warm weather. He will probably go to
Fortress Monroe this week to remain a short
time 1t is expected that be will take the

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
Denial of the Report that Its Members Are
Still Receiving Pay.

StIII Receiving Pay.
WAsHINGToN, March 12.-It is denied at
the Treasury Department that members of
the tariff commission are still receiving pay.
Treasury officials say the commission has
been regarded as functus officio from the
time it made its report to Congress at the
opening of the last session. No money has
been paid its members on account of service
since that time. John L. Hayes who was
the disbursing officer of the commission, as
well as its president, is now settling his ac-
counts. All money allowed him since the re-
port was submitted to Congress has been for
the purpose of defraying expenses incurred
in the progress of the work.

His precise language was not taken down. it
