John Speers, oolored, was indicted for
perjury by the Grand Jury last week, but
was not found until last night, when he was
arrested by the police somewhere up "on the
hill' and patrol wagoned to the ccdnty Jail.
1t is charged against Speers that, at the hear
ing in Mayors court in case against Mike
Jordan tor violation OF the ten o'clock ordi-
nance, he denied under oath that he was in
Jordan place after hours. -Four good men
and true have been since tound who swear
they saw SPeers in there as late, or early, as
three O'Clock on the morning the offense was
alleged to have been committed by Jordan.
There is quite certainly great deal of this
sort OF thing in examining courts by people
who have little conception of the nature of
an oath, and a conviction or two for perjury
may have a salutary influence.

A COlOred Man Named william Easter
Assaults Five Year Old Boy and Heats

A Colored Man Named william Easter
Assaults a Five Year Old Boy and Heats
Him.
Early this morning an affair occurred at
New Moore6eld, this county, that reused the
citizens to the highest pitch OF indignation.
A colored man named William Easter has
been employed for some time on the fsrm OF
Mr.. Thomas Kennedy, as hostler. Mr.. Ken
nedy also has on his place little five year
old boy, also colored, au ilegitima,e child,
whom Mr.. Kennedy took to raise.
This morning Mr.. Kennedy and family
came to town, leaving Easter and the little
boy at home. Easter WAS out cleaning the
stable and the boy was playing rear. The
latter probably said something which incensed
Easter, and without saying word he picked
up a shovel aud began beating the little TEL
low over the head and body. A terrible cash
S cut in his head, his lip split, and his
shoulder and arm badly bruised. When he
was strrck on the head he fell to the ground
unconscious. Seeing what terrible work he
had done, Easter skipped out. When the
family returned home they found the boy ly-
ing insensible, and be still remains in this
condition. An affidavit was Immediately
filed against him by Mr.. T. H. Kennedy, aud
the latter, leading posse OF men, started
in pursuit of the criminal. Finally.
after search OF several hours Easter was
found in a corncrib on the farm of Mr. Ed.
Phleger. He was brought back to Moorefiel
and taken before Squire Baldwin, who bound
him over to court Easter was then brought
here and lodged in Jail. At two o'clock this
afternoon the little boy is still unconscious,
and but little hope is entertained OF his re-

The utter recklessness OF Young America
while coasting lasts is really appalling Re
gardless of their own safety or that of pedes-
trians, he takes possession Of pavements and
roadways on hilly streets and his peremptory
cry: ''git out OF the road greets any foot
passenger who gets in front OF him. The
police wish the warning given thus publicly
that arrests will be made and coasters taken
TO the station house if they are not circum-
spect and if they do not keep off of the pave
ments. In some places ii is next to impossi-
ble for lady to pass along, such is the Con-
slant stream of sleds, each with a yelling
youngster upon it. One of them, lame not
learned, had leg broken last night while
indulging in the dangerous sport on Lincoln

The Water-Works Trustees met last night
at the Office in the Arcade and passed num-

OF increased water supply at the reservoir, in
view of the approach of the season when
work can he commenced. Nothing definite
was decided upon, but some new light gained
- the subject and points discovered in which
the plans suggested last season can be mod
flied somewhat and still be made practical.
Further attention will be given this matter
IN the near future. The standpipe has been

CIVIL SERVICE DEFECTS,

1t is now quite clear that the civil service
law and the rules framed by the civil ser
vice commission in accordance with that
law have been found on trial TO be crude
and defective. As an illustration of how
far the civil service reform movement has
to some extent been in the hands of doc
trinaires and other persons without
practical experience of the working of a
large public establishment, we mention an
incident connected with the Baltimore post
Office. The Baltimore Sun says that Post
master VEAZEY of that city has had occa-
sion ''to call the attention of the civil SER
vice commission to some of the deficiencies
and crudities of the unamended law and
regulations under which he is expected to
obtain suitable men for the work of the city
postofiice. He was compelled to complain
of the lack of any sufficient test of charac-
ter in the requirements of the civil
service system. When a vacancy occurs
in the postofiice four names of persons who
have passed examinations are presented to
him, but whether they are possessed of any
of the qualities of desirable employee, be-
yOnd certain amount of intelligence, il is
often difficult to ascertain. Bad personal
character and physical incapacity may very
well eoeXist with the degree of intelligence
required to pass an examination. What is
wanted is modification of the system by
which both character and physical capacity
shall be accorded the prominence as tests of
fitness for employment that their impor-
lance entities them to. At present the ap-
plicant must be vouched for, but those who
vouch for him not infrequently need them
selves TO be vOuched for. Mr.. VEAZEY
has in effect at times found the four per-
sons from whose number he is required to
make selection all unfit for appointment.
de accordingly asks the civil service COM
mission to permit him to refuse all four"

A KNoTTY PRoBLENr SOLVED.

The Thirteenth Canadian regiment par
ticipated in the Niagara celebration, and
the way that permission was granted the
regiment to cross the line with its arms
shows the very unique process the govern
ment sometimes employs to ''whip the devil
around the stump" The process by which
it was done is disclosed by the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Times.
In order to cross the line with troops it be-
came necessary 10 obtain some authority
therefor, and application was made 10 the
collector of customs at Suspension Bridge.
who forwarded it to the secretary of the
treasury, with favorable recommendation.
Assistant Secretary FAIRCHILD, acting as
secretary of the treasury, not knowing
what course to pursue. transmitted the APP
plication TO the state department. which, in
the absence of Secretary BAYARD, declined
to take action, and referred it to the secre-
tary of war. Mr.. ENDICoTT was some
what nonplussed, as he regarded il
his duty to take action only i'm
repelling unlawful invasion, and this
the Canadian troops did not propose to do.
After considerable speculation the subject
was returned to the secretary of the treas
ury. who finally referred the knotty prob
lem TO the supervising special agent This
official construed the reference in the ma
ture of command to find some expedient
to lift the government out of the dilemma.
A law was discovered that permitted the
reciprocal free entry of mechanics tools,
and, deciding that the guns of the Cana
dams were their tools, the soldiers were al
lowed to bring them over the border free of
duty. The correspondent says that Secre-
tary MANNING, is contemplating an in
crease of salary for the subordinate who
managed so adroitly to bell this treasury

earnest efforts of the members from these
states. The Southern and coast states have
generally combined against these states and
territories and merely gave them such
recognition as was necessary to abate
the general clamor against such rank
injustice. In all previous conventions the
lower river states have formulated the sta
tistics and resolutions and then resolutely
adopted them, depressing the minority and
sitting their voices. And this was why
the GLOBE opposed inviting any of the
states south of st. Louis TO participate in
the proceedings of the st. Paul convention.
What is wanted of this convention is to give
expression to the needs of the Northwest
ern states and those whose interests are
practically identical with them. Had the
Southern states been invited, history
would have repeated itself and again would
the voice of these states have been stified
and the remedy they demand denied. Now
they will be free to make showing
of their own rights and bring them before
congress in their own way. The purpose of
the convention is to formulate an appeal to
congress, supported by an array of statistics
which will make out case that cannot be
ignored. If the senators and representa-
tives of the states respond to the invita-
ton of the governor in person, they may
act the more tremendously, and stand as a
solid phalanX when the time for action
comes. St Paul should begin promptly to
prepare to receive the distinguished gen.
tlemen who will attend the convention.
They will be men of marked ability i'm the
political. financial and commercial world,
representing a great, growing and a vital
issue, and should be given every courtesy
that can be bestowed upon them
by the magnificent metropolis at the
head of navigation on the grandest water
way in the country and the seat of the new
empire of the Northwest, which is destined
to play prominent part in the history of
this continent as it fulfills its splendid
destiny. Everybody in the Northwest is
interested in this convention, producers and
consumers alike, as it will affect all in
dustrles. Its object is to afford better facil-
tiles for reaching the markets of the world
with less cost for transportation, which
will insure the betterment of the general
condition of the country.
