ter of the yacht Dauntless, which was
beaten by the English cutter Genesta

which prevailed during the first half of

A FEW weeks ago one James A.
Hinchley applied to Judge Wallace of
the Washington Court for a writ of
quo warranto commanding the mem
bers of the Civil Service Commission to
show cause why they should exercise
the functions of commission. At
the same time he filed a complaint. in
which he charged that the Commits
sioners are divesting the President of
the duties and responsibilities vested in
him by the Constitution in limiting his
choice of nominations for office to per-
sons presented to him by themselves
and by prohibiting him from appoint
ing any other citizen to office. The
complaint further averred that the
constitutional rights of the President
and people are invaded by this act.
After hearing the complaint on the
18th, Judge Wallace granted the writ.

INDIANAPOLIS, September ga new
phase of the Indiana Township bond
swindle was developed here to-day. Here
tOfore it has been generally understood
that these warrants were simply fraudulent,
that they had been issued in payment for
goods that were never delivered, and that
Pollard and the dishonest trustees shared
in the proceeds. To-day Edgar Stark,
Cashier Of the Cincinnati National
Bank, came to the city, bringing
$4,000 worth of warrants purpOrt-
ing to be issued by Ernest Kitz, trustee of
the township in which his city is situated.
The warrants were submitted to the inspec-
ton of Mr.. Kitz, and that gentleman at
once pronounced them fOrgeries. The war
rants are Endorsed by r b. POllarh, and
were placed with the Cincinnati Bank as
collateral by c. f. Cook, proprietor OF the
suspended Jennings County Bank of North
Vernon. Mr.. Stark retained firm of law
yers in the interest of his bank, but what
further steps will be taken is not yet
known.
