A Very Healthy lot of Clerks.
From he PAiLaaezpAia Times.

from me HnlLQUebDAiU LGI6S.
The Sixth Auditors office at Washing
ton is just now undergoing general
shaking up. One of the worst abuses in
the departmental service is the matter of
sick leaves. Every employee gets thirty
days regular leave, and when unavoida-
bly, i'll is granted leave of absence until
able to attend to duty. Under this regu-
latiOn when a male clerk was suffering
from headache from a night out with
the boys he could remain at home, and
wheneve' a female clerk wanted TO go to
the matinee she could report herself sick.
Auditor McCOnvIlle, who found the work
of his Office from one to six months be-
hind, has been inquiring into the
matter and report concerning the same
was laid upon his table to-day. The fig
ures are curious. They begin with the
month of July and include April. The
first month shows an absence roll of 72G
regular leave days and 571 sick days for
3I2 clerks; August, 1912 days regular
leave and go sick. This continues until
after election at an average sick-roll of
552 days per month. After election the
leaves suddenly drop to 152 regular and
395 sick. For April 1t runs 1874 and 300
and $40 and makes an average of 400 SICK
days a month. Compared with the sick
returns OF the spring season of former
years this improvement OF the general
health of the government employees since
the election is remarkable. In this small
office the improved healthy tone is worth
five men and about $500 month.
From indications this sudden healthy
condition extends 10 every branch Of The
service. At the same rate it makes a
practical increase Of clerical force of
about fifteen men in every thousand. or
1870 men in the departments alone, which
at an average of salary would amount TO
ABOUT $4,000 per month. This IS not an
eXtrayagant estimate, but fair deduc-
tlon from the figures furnished. The gov
eminent Is big thing, aud day apiece
wasted by the department employees rep
resents thousands of dollars. Repeated
thus ev' ~ month and IL runs up at the
end Of the year To a quarter Of million
dollars. The matter Of economy is some.
thing TO the government, but the return
Of general health throughout the service
is probably more 20 the employe.

A BURGLAR ON A BYCYCLE.
A Massachusetts, Thief who Robs and
Rides Swiftly Away.

EAlOes swiftly away
BOSTON, May Essex county towns
are pestered by burglar that comes and
goes on his raids upon bicycle. He had
not been heard from for several weeks I'M
til l O'Clock this morning, when the
hOusekeeper of Mr.. Cyrus Dodge, a cabi-
net manufacturer, living on the Essex
road, in Manchester, was awakened by
the flashing of the rays of dark lantern
across her face. Starting up she saw a
man wearing a mask bending over her.
He presented the muZZle of revolver at
her head and warned her not to scream,
saying he would not harm her; all he
wanted was money. He forced her to
get up, and he succeeded in get
ting $50 from the bureau drawer.
She said that was all she
had, but he demanded more, and snatch
ing the pillow from her bed found her
wallet, containing $40 more. He then
asked her for the key of the safe. She de-
MED any knowledge of it, but was again
menaced by the revolver, and conducted
the burglar down stairs to the dining
room, on the same floor on which three
sons of Mr.. Dodge slept. Here she
screamed violently, and the rObber leaped
from a window and escaped. The house.
hold was aroused and the burglar was
seen to mount a bicycle, which was lean
ing against tree, and ride off. He was
tall young man, and from his descrip-
ton is believed to have ridden from Salem
across Beverly bridge soon after II o'clock.
1t is believed the burglar rode back to
Salem or beyond.

i. CLUvERIUs' JURY.
Twelve Men Secured, but Objection to
Two of Them Expected.


RICHMOND, VA, May TN the Hastings
Court to-day Judge Atkins ordered the
name of Fl. G. Adams, one of the jurymen
secured in the case of r. J. Cluverius, on
trial for the murder of Lillian Madi-
son, to be struck from the list. This was
due to the fact that it had become known
that Adams had had some court trouble
with a negro, resulting III the latter
swearing out a warrant charging Adams
with perjury, and that the case
was still pending i'm HenrlcO County
Court The calling OF the talesmen
summoned was proceeded with and at l:45
O'Clock this afternoon four jurors had
been obtained, making twelve in all.
DETECTING TO JURORS.
No more Jurors were obtained to-day.
When the list had been exhausted the
Commonwealth's actiRg attorney, Mr.
Meredith, brought to the attention of the
court the fact that Il. w. Larke, one Of
the accepted jurors, was incompetent to
serve for the reason that he had, in con-
VersatiOn previous to the trial, held that
under no circumstances would he convict
a man on crcumstantial evidence. Wit
nesses were introduced to prove this, aud
the counsel on both sides debated the
matter until O'Clock, when the court
took a recess until 3 O'Clock, at which
hour the case of another juror, A. 5.
G0Ode, was brought to the attention Of
the court. 1t was stated that although
this juror was accepted upon his state
ment that he had not formed or expressed
an opinion as to the guilt or innocence Of
the prisoner, he had previous
to being summoned offered to bet
money and did make a bet that the ac-
cused would not be convicted. Counsel
also argued this case at some length.
Court adjourned until tomorrow, Judge
Atkins meanwhile reserving his decision
il both cases. A tale of 300 was ordered tor
tomorrow, and if jury is not obtained
then Ueujre factdS will probably be issued
for other jurors from points outside Of

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Secretary Man
ming has directed that the issue Of 81 and
81 notes be discontinued for the present.
1t is said by nOn-Oliicals that this action
has been taken for the purpose Of forcing
subsidiary coins into circulation, bat this
is denied at the Treasury Department. 1t
is stated that the discOntinuance became
necessary by reason of the excessive issue
of these notes Of late, and because they
are coming back TO the Treasury for re-
demption IN about as good condition as
when first issued, which adds very con-
siderable item to the expense account of
the department. The order of the Secre-
tary is simply in the line of economy.

A MoTHER,s FEARFUL DEED.
Crazed by Drink She Kills Her Baby
With a Ratchet.


NEW YORK, May Mrs. Lucy Gill
christ, who resides at No. 415 High street,
Newark, has been addicted to drink for
several years, and her deDauches have
been of weeks duration. Her husband,
Edward, is an industrious laborer in a
coal yard. The family consists Of five
children-Mamie, aged IA; Lucy, aged
10; Rosanna, aged s; Robert, aged 5;
Thomas, aged 4, and a mOnths-Old baby.
The family occupy the first floor of a
modest fiat. About week ago Mrs. Gill
christ went upon a prolonged debauch
with several disreputable companions,
and Monday returned home. When sober
ing up she is usually peevish and ifrita-
bic.
About 1870 yesterday morning one of
the other occupants of the house heard
her call her children about her and take
them down into the cellar. In a few min
utes Rosanna came running upstairs cry
ing;
"The baby-the baby-down in the cell
larw
An old lady who lives on the second
floor became alarmed, and rushing to the
wiadow called in two men who were
passing. They ran into the cellar, where,
standing in the centre of the dingy place,

hand, while at her feet lay the mutilatcd
body of her offspring. She turned to
strike the little corpse again, but one of
the men seized her arm and threw her
back against the wall. She fought with
terrible strength and the combined efforts
of the men were scarcely sufficient to
overpower her.
At this juncture the father of the MUIR
dered little one rushed into the house.
The cries of his children alarmed him,
and be went to the cellar. The sight which
met his gaze completely unnerved him,
and he fell to the ground and gr0aned in
agony. Then selling his child's body in
his arms he rushed upstairs to his room.
HIS wife was taken to the station house
and locked up. In her cell she raved like
a maniac, crying: 'Imust kill the chick
ems in the cellarl Let me at them"
The other children say that their
mother took them into the cellar and put
the baby on the floor. She then went to
the wO0d-pile and secured a Ratchet.
After feeling if the blade was sharp she
swung it around and brought it down on
the baby's head. Several times she re-
peated this, until the men rushed in and
seized her. 1t is thought that she would
have killed the other children if she had
not been iDterfered with. An examination
of the child's mutilated remains showed
mat one OF the blows mad descended upon
the left side of the head, just below the
eye, shattering the cheek bone. The child
was horribly mutilated and it could not
be recognized. County Physician Hew-
lett viewed the remains. and ordered an
inquest to be held Immediately.
AT the scene Of the tragedy a large
crowd collected and the cries of the agon-
lied father could be heard in the street.
Several times he attempted violence, but
was restrained by the police. 1t is feared
that he has lost his reason.

NEW YORK, May Cen. Grant slept
seven hours last night. This morning he

food as serves for his breakfast. At 10
o'clock he took up pad and pencil and

BROOKLYN, May THE discovery of
human remains began almost as soon as

Of the burned factory to-day. The doctors
who have examined the shapeless por-
lions Of human bodies taken from the

be found. The place where the dead have
been found is In the rear portion of the
west extension, where the floors fell in
ard the men In one shop were buried in
the wreck before the fire occurred. All

A child Convicted Of NfansIauehtcr

ANNAPOLIS, MD, May 5.-George Col
Inns, colored, aged 10, was on trial in the
Circuit Court today, charged with homi-
eide in the killing Of George Miller, also
colored, AGED Is years, on the night Of
Nov. ~, 1884. Collins is so small that his
head could scarcely be seen above the
back OF chair in which he was sitting
beside his counsel. He has been confined
in jail ever since the night he had the
difficulty with Miller, when, IL is alleged,
he inflicted the fatal wound OF about
two inches in length in the left
temple with Barlow knife. For
the defense the youthful prisoner testi-
fed that Miller first assaulted him, and
that the cutting was accidental. He
ran away after the cutting, he said, be-
cause he was afraid Miller, who was
larger than he. would beat him. The Jury,
after being out half an hour, returned a
verdict OF guilty Of manslaughter, with
recommendations 20 the mercy Of the
court. Judge Jones said he would take
the recommendation into consideration
when sentence was passed upon Collins.
In the discretion OF the court. fine or
imprisonment in Jail or the penitentary
can be imposed in such a case. States
Attorney MunrOe said he would recon-
mend light sentence In Collins case. as
the boy did not appear TO know what he
was doing when he made the deadly as
sault upon Miller.
