LATEST NEWS SUMMARY.
New Civil Service Commission.

The president has announced the appoint
ment as members OF the civil SER
vice commission OF Alfred p. Edgerton
OF Fort Wayne, Ind, and William l.
Trenholm OF Charleston, s. C.-both
Democrats. The resignation of DR..
Gregory will be accepted, and Dor
man B. Eaton will be reappointed on
the board. Although he is now out OF the
commission, the president has persuaded
him to resume his old place for the present,
at least until the new men are broken in.
Mr. Eaton says that he consents to this
very reluctantly, but his anxiety for the
success OF the commission Is so great as to
induce him to sacrifice any personal con-
sideration in the matter, and he will re-
main on the board for some months at
least.
Judge Trenholm attracted the presidents
attention n few days ago, when he came
here to represent the South Carolina rice
planters in an argument before the assist
ant secretary of the treasurer. His argu-
ment and bearing created so favorable an
impression on Secretary Fairchild that
Trenholm's name was at once taken up IN
connection with one of the civil service
commissiouerships.
For fifteen years Mr.. Edgerton has been
unanimously elected by the common coun-
ell OF Fort Wayne as the president OF the
bottu Vi euutatlon vi lite 1ily, anu oy aP-
pointment OF eX-Gov. Porter, is Il director

years an intimate friend and associate of
Chief Justice Waite, who together with
Senator II. 3. Payne, Gov. Gray OF Indiana,
Vice Pre- ident Hendricks and many leading
citizens of Ohio and Indiana, warmly en-
dorsed him as possessing qualities peculiar
ly fitting him for the work of the civil SER
vice commission, with which he is in full
sympathy.

Think Riel Deceived Them.

NJ. j. Charbonneau, who has just return.
ed to Winnipeg from the Northwest, says
the feeling among the half-breeds is that
they do not care if the government hangs
Reil, so long as it releases the half-breed
prisoners now confined in the Stony Noun
tain penitentiary. They express themselves
as il Riel had deceived them. and as
if they cared little what his fate
would be. The half breeds up there,
Mr. Charbonneau says, are very poor in
deed, in fact, the winter is likely
to 60 very hard with them, as they have
nothing to exist upon, and everything in the
shape of food is SO dear. Potatoes are
$3.50 bushel at Battleford and 81 so az
Prince Albert. Many OF them do not yet
understand that they did any wrong in re-
belling. Many OF the rebels are now freight
ing for the government. Mr., Charbonneau
also reports that a great many half breeds
and Indians who were concerned in the re-
bellion, and who lost thereby, are going
south to the American side OF the line.

Bradstreet's journal notices at
length a new process OF lighting and
heating that promises to work revo-
luton. 1t is fuel gas that yields the
greatest amount OF heat and light for
the cost of materials. 1t is claimed
with apparent reason that this fuel
will cost 1Oc. to 15c. per 1000 cubic
feet only, and that it gives to one ton
of anthracite, the economic value Of
ten tons of such coal burned in the
usual way. Stating the cost of such
coal to the personal consumer at SO
per ton, the saving is the difference be-
tween S6 and $50, or the respectable
sum OF S54 And to effect this econo-
my it is only necessary to construct a
a machinery plant costing $500 to
$4,000, according to the number Of
dwellings or business places to be sup
piled with heat. An adjunct appa-
ratus, or the same one used alternate
ly, can furnish illuminating gas to the
same consumers. The processes are
detailed and it is asserted that there
exists no doubts of the complete sue
cess of the new invention. It's value
will be at once appreciated by reference
to the above figures.
