is to the effect that the Republican part is nearest

This afternoon Chandler returned
to the commissioners the nomina-

by a note, in which he stated,
that having carefully inspected
the examination papers of the four
persons whose names are certified.
He had reached the conclusion that
none of the candidates had, upon
examination, shown sufficient in
telligence to give promise of SLING
the vacancy In his department ae-
ceptabIy. By this action the Secre-
tary raises an interesting question.
1t has not yet been considered by
the commissioners. Commissioner
Thoman said to night: The persons
whose names were certified to the
Secretary passed fair examination
before the commission and In certi-
flying them all the provisions OF the
law and civil service rules had been
fully complied with. In his judg-

Indianapolis. Ind, The coro
ner, this afternoon, began an inquiry
over the remains of five bodies Te-
covered from the wreck yesterday
on the Air Line railway, at Broad
Ripple. THEE witnesses were
examined. Their testimony shows
the bridge was built of good material
and properly constructed. Workmen
were repairing the bridge and had
removed the permanent supporting
rods. supply ing their place with
temporary roGs, which were claimed
to be good enough to hold the struc-
ture. It is generally thought the
accident was caused by weakening
the bridge, as the result of remov-
ing the permanent rods. The rail
way company has two attorneys to
represent it at the inquest. The
bodies recovered were taken to their
places of residence to day for burial.
Semans and Clarke, the men Sc
riously hurt, are still alive. The
latter's chances for recovery are
very slender. The body of Parr,
bridge foreman, is not yet recov>
cred.
