A Shocking Death.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-R. M. Reynolds,
late first auditor of the United States treas
ury, killed himself this morning at the
Southern hotel There is an air shaft in
the hotel over the rOtunda, which cuts
through the different floors. At five min
utes to 6 Reynolds either jumped or fell
over the railing in the third story into the
air shaft. He struck the marble floor OF the
rotunda with report that was heard all
over the hotel. He was picked up quite
dead i'll front of the Office clerk. His skull
was fractured and one of his legs shattered.
A visit made to Reynolds room disclosed
the fact that it was full of gas, although
the stop-cock was turned, hence the theory
is held in the hotel that it must be suicide,
and that after the failure to aSphyxlate
himself he took the terrible dive to the
marble floor below. Reynolds had made a
careful toilet this morning. He had been
in st. Louis since Saturday, stopping with
MI. G. II. Albers, but he left that gentle
mans house and put up at the hotel last
night. He was in excellent spirits when
last seen alive and no motive can be sug-
gested for the act. He was on his way to
Kansas to purchase land. He left the
United States treasury only a couple OF
weeks ago. He was about 60 years OF age
and a fine-lOolling, healthy man.
CORONER'S VERDICT.
The coroners jury, after hearing consid-
cradle testimony, rendered verdict OF
suicide. The remains will be sent to Wash
ington for burial. Mr.. Reynolds had been
in this city several days, but went to the
Southern hotel last night, and after regis
tering asked for an outside room
high up. He said he would not have an
| inside room on any account The clerk gave
him front room in the fourth flat, which
satisfied him. Before he went to the hotel
he had been stopping with Charles H.
Albers, an old friend, and according to Mr..
Albers, was the last man in the world
to commit suicide. He was in
good health and happy and his
visit was to invest in a new enterprise, in
| the success Of which he was very hopeful.
| Others besides Mr.. Albers speak OF him in
about the same terms, which leads to the
| belief that death was caused by accident
rather than by suicide.
NOT SUICIDE.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The friends in
this city of ex-First Auditor Reynolds do
not think that he committed suicide. They
say he was subject to attacks OF vertigo
and suffered intensely from other maladies.
and it is thought that his mind was affected
when he fell through the air shaft i'll the
Southern hotel at st. Louis. He was in
comfortable circumstances, so that the loss
of his office could not be supposed to have
driven him to self-deStructiOn.

LONDON, June 2.-DispatcheS from Bonn
bay state that the news has just reached
there of disastrous earthquake in Cash
shocks began Sunday and have continued
at intervals of ten minutes ever since. The
shocks were very serious at Serinagi, the
capital Of Cashmere The barracks, in
which several hundred soldiers were quar-
tered were completely destroyed, collapsing
SO suddenly that nearly half the men were
imprisoned in the debris. Fifty are known
to have been killed, while 100 were more or
less injured. A portion of the city has been
demolished, while very few of the remain
ing buildings escaped injury, many having
large rents made in them. The people be-
came panic-strcken shortly after the dis
turbances began, and fled from the city,
taking refuge in boats and in tents in the
open fields. The total number Of the
KILLED AND WOUNDED
is not yet known, nor is the full extent Of
damage done, owing to the interruption OF
the telegraph wires. 1t is feared that the
loss of life will be heavy, as the latest in
formation from there calls for help, saying
that hundreds Of animals have been killed,
and the loss among the people is very great.
The terrified inhabitants are now calnped
in the fields that surround the town. Serin-
agur is near the center of the Vale of Cash
mere, and the whole territory experienced
the terrible earthquake shock. The dam
age caused throughout the vale is enormous.
The loss in cattle alone is very great. The
afrighted people seem to be utterly help
less, and succor is being sent them as rap
| idly as the Indian authorities can organize
relief. Many OF the houses, on account of
the large rents in the walls, must be razed
to the ground. The shocks have not yet
ceased, and this fact greatly retards the
work of rescuing the people pinned down
in the debris, and it is feared that many Of
these must perish before they can be
reached bv the relief parties

Clerks greatly Alarmed.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-There is greater
trepidation among the department clerks
here now than at any time since the cleo
ton of Cleveland. They are thoroughly
alarmed. The events of the past few days
have shown them that they are likely to be
reached in the progress OF trans
formation at pretty early date.
Many of them had been fattering
themselves all along that they were to stay
indefinitely. The events of the past few
days, however. show them that they were
mistaken. 1t is announced in a semi-offi-
cial way that the heads of the departments
find that they are hampered by having men
under them who are not in full sympathy
with the administration and are not
inclined to enter fully into the work
that it is proposed to accomplish. There
have been some very mysterious disappear
ances of papers from the files of some of
the departments of late, affecting the stand
ing of some of the candidates for office, and
naturally they are laid to the Republican
clerks, whether they are responsible or not.
The feature that has produced most alarm,
however, is
THE ACTUAL REMOVALS.
It is when the firing actually begins that
the most alarm is felt. And it has begun.
1t is no uncommon thing now to hear in the
evening of the removal of one or two or
three or even half dozen chiefs of diviS-
ions or other employees outside the civil ser
vice law. 'sYou see," said one Of the clerks,
fairly shivering with ALARM ''there are so
many of the positions that are not covered
by the civil service rules that half of the
force is liable to be wiped out by the end
of the year without a fracture of the law.
Take the heads of bureaus, for instance.
They are not included in the civil
service list. Well, it is easy to
dismiss every one Of them on the ground
that they want men in their places who are
in accord with the administration, or some
other excuse of this sort. Well, then, they
can promote the man below him to his
place-regular civil service style, you know
and when he gets into the place he will
be a legitimate target for another removal,
for then he will be outside of the civil ser
vice line. See?"
There are, too, a great many positions
here that are not counted as under the
CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
There are 12,717 civilian employees Of the
general government here, attached to the
various executive departments, the govern
ment printing office and sew
eral commissions or bureaus not
strictly responsible to any one depart
ment. Of this number, 5,340 are clerks,
drawing salaries ranging from 5000 to ST.
500, who are included in the classified ser
vice, appointments to which can only be
made from those who pass the civil service
examinations. The remainder includes
officers appointed by the PRESIDENT
chief clerks and others whose salaries
exceed 81, 500 per annum; persons receiv-
ing salaries ranging from 5000 to 81 800,
but whose employment is of special char
acter, exceptad from examination; copy
lists, messengers, laborers and others whose
salaries are below 5000, and employees who
do not receive annual salaries, but are paid
by the hour, day or month.
