A FEW CASES IN WHICH CIVIL SERVICE CANDIDATES

eve have had three or four cases." said one OF
the board OF civil service examiners to STAR re-
porter to-day, "where there was clear evidence OF
collusion between applicants undergoing examina-
tion. There were only three or four cases out OF
several hundred, which Is very good record.
They were cases where twopersons sitting together
both made the same egregious blunders II both
had been correct In their answers it would b. un-
fair to mfr colluston, but when one makes an
egregiOus blunder. and the other makes the same
blunder exactly, the Implication is pretty strong ~

mo; they represent different sections The only
way to obtain absolute security against such col
fusion Is to follow the Chinese system. There the
applicant is placed alone In cell He is given the
work he has TO do, and his meals are handed in to
him. He is not allowed to come out until he I'M
fishes his work" 9

pass the examination he is beheaded, so he Is not
able to tell the next man anything about the exl

Civil Service Commissioner Gregory said that tney

papers OF lady who did pass In certain subjects
the lady made most grotesque errors, and these
were faithfully copied by the applicant who S {
next to ner When this was discovered the sue
ceSS1ul applicant was summoned before the board,
but cleared herself OF the charge of collusion.
The other applicant, she claimed, had purloined
her rough scraps OF paper, without her consent,
and made up the answers from them. AS rule
the commissioner thinks that the spirit OF compe.
titon IN the examinations and the TACT that It Il
TO the interest OF each candidate TO excel his
neighbor, affords sufficient protection against col
fusion.

The Chinese War Vessels.
THEIR NoRH POWERFUL IRoNcLAps NOT ENGAGED IN
THE RECENT coNFIIcT-wHAT q. s. NAVY OFFICERS
SAY ABOUT IT.
The opening Of the war against China by
France and the easy destruction OF the vessels OF
the former, is very generally discussed by naval Of
hcers In this city. Those most familiar with the
coast OF China and her navy are inclined to think
that the best vessels OF the Chinese navy did not
take part In this action. The gunboats which con-
st1tute the main portion OF the navy are probably
about Pekin or up the rivers. These boats were
built I'D England and France and are OF the best
modern designs They are manned mainly by
foreigners, or were some time ago, and il the
French vessels Should come in contact with these,
officers OF our navy think that the contest would
not he so unequal The opinion is expressed that
even the future phases Of the war should fail to
develop any higher powers Of resistance on the
the French would continue until their object had
been accomplished.
sThe French are after commercial advantageS,' -
said one naval officer "and they propose to get them
at any cost. That Is the policy OF England and
Germany. There Is no consideration OF morality,
Of human justice or Of human right that Will pre-
vent these nations from pursuing policy ravora-

convicted OF larceny, when the prisoner seized q
chair, and with an oath aimed heavy blow with It
at Oncer Flynn, who had been the chief witness
against him, and who happened to be sitting In one
OF the jury seata The blow would have killed him
cutting Attorney Claiborn and Oficer Badger rushed
forward, so that Ondcer Flynn was but slightly
hurt But the negro was upon him and choking
him before the others could act. Then ensued q
desperate struggle, In which the negro displayed
hercu!ean strength, and for time It appeared as
though he would Kill the 0fdcer. During the uproar
table was smashed to pieces and chair demol-
tshed The negro finally was pulled away, but not
until he had nearly bitten on several fingers from
Omcer Badgers hand ami dealt a number OF hard
blows Judge Laughlin then heard the remaining
cases against him and gave him six months In one

In the Virginia house OF delegates yesterday Mr.

Planters and Mechanics bank of Petersburg,
which recently failed. The report says that the
amount due the state on May l. 1884, was &1s5, ,a7a
The committee lnd that the money Of the state de-
posted in this bank was so mingled with other
funds6Of the bank, and so used to make 1t impOS
tical money so deposited The books Of the bank
show that with capital stock OF only $1l955O the
enormous sum OF $111.610 had been drawn from the
bank by OverdraftS at the time the bank closed Its
doors, In addition to very large sums previously
Overdrawn by favOr1teS OF the bank, which had
been covered by notes upon which no security had
been required, and most OF which notes are utter

The committee say that Gov. Cameron and Gen.
Malone have paid the amount OF their overdrafts
TO the trustees since the affairs OF the bank have
been placed In the trustees hands Senator Gaines
has been paid on the amount due by Gov. Cameron Cameron
upon his notes, aggregating over $4,000, but the
trustees OF the bank hold as collateral $4,000 OF
Southern Telegraph company bonds, worth perhaps
$1,000. and fifteen shares OF the stock of the
Washington Improvement company OF uncer-
