The Administration IS rapidly breaking
up the best Consular service the country
has ever had. The Consular service had
been steadily improving for years when
Mr. Evarts became Secretary of State.
He paid special attention to it, introduced
system of promotions based on efficiency
and success. made 1t rule to appoin, men
OF practical business capacity as Consuls,
directed them to send frequent communi.
cations on commercial topics to the State
Department for publication. and promoted
In many ways the efficiency Of the service.
President Arthur made few changes in
Consular appointments. and the service,
when democratic president was inaug-
urated. had been recruited largely from
the commercial classes aud was remarkably
efficient. President Cleveland at once be-
gan to draw upon the Consulships In lquida-
ton of his political debts. He has removed
the Consul Generals at Montreal. London
and Rome, who have made their diploma
tic posts the best business offices in the
service and he has turned out Consuls by
the score on the tlimsy pretext of offensive
partisanship. Officials who have been any
where from eight to fifteen years In the
service are removed to make room for
political partisans. The Administration
while making the dishonest pretense of
conducting the business OF the government
on strict business principles. turns out
business-like and experienced Consuls and
replaces them with creatures of its own,
who have contrived to make themselves
useful in one way or another to the demo-
cratic party.--N. Y. Tribune.

THE REAupEr CASE.

The Accused Found Guilty of As-
 saulting Dr. Zfnk-Motion For a
 New Trial.
 As soon as Sheriff Gates opened court yesterday Judge Stoddard commenced to charge the jury. He considered the chief points in the testimony and explained the difference between an assault with intent to murder and an assault with intent to kill. He said that the defense admitted that who- ever assaulted Dr. Zink assaulted him with intent to murder. His Honor said that one of the most peculiar features of the case was the manner in which the doctors money was found, some of it in the dining room and some of it out in the orchard. The defense claimed that it was dropped there by the doctor himself when he wandered out of the house after the assault The State held that Beaudet put the money there. The judge thought that the jury ought to give him proper credit if the accused made the con- fession to Whipper as the latter testified. Whipper stood in court unimpeached, but Hull, the convict who testified to certain ad- missions made by Beaudet to him, was im- peached and that by several witnesses. Yet his testimony might be true and the State claimed it was corroborative. After the Judge nao spoken aDou1 three quarters oL an hour, the jury retired at 10:40, and at five minutes to one the foreman announced that they were ready to report. Beaudet's facs was covered with great drops of precipitation as the clerk inquired what the verdict was. The foreman replied, ''Guilty." In the afternoon MT. Zacher filed motion for new trial on the ground of misconduct of one of the jurors. It was claimed that one of the jurors conversed about the case with persons outside. It is said that prominent member of the county bar will be witness against the juror.

Dr 0orman as . Preacher.

The Danbury News has the following to say about Dr. Charles A. Dormnn, of this city:
 ''Dr Dorman will complete his term of service as pastor of the Methodist church in Georgetown on Sunday next. It is safe to say that this church has never enjoyed a more prosperous year than the one now draw ing to close. From eighty to ninety souls have been converted, between sixty and seventy having already united with the church and more to follow. The church building and parsonage have been newly painted, the Sunday school is fourishing, the congregation increasing, the weekly meet ings well attended, the finances in a healthy condition, and (nearly) everybody happy. Never was pastor more beloved by his people and the only regret is that he cannot remain another year, his physical condition preclud- ing the possibility. The love and prayers of his people will follow him wherever his lot may be cast !" e

LINCOLN RINK.

A Crowded House and Much Applause
 Every available foot of room in the Lincoln rink was taken up last eve ming by the immense throng of people who came to witness as fine an ex- hibition of fancy skating by Miss Min nie Drew as was ever seen there. Miss Drew was dressed in gold-spangled costume, and as she gracefully glided over the smooth sur- face of the rink pretty sight was presented. The floor was cleared at 9 o'clock, and while the band played waltz Miss Drew made her appearance amid prolonged applause. The skipping rope trick was especially fine, and that, as well as the others, called forth tre- mendous applause. Among the astonishing things she did was the skating around the rink on her toes. Tonight she is to give an exhibition in the Cosmopolitan rink in New York.
 Hereafter on exhibition nights at the rinks the free list will be suspended
 The active season at the rinks will close May 1. The programme beyond that date is yet to be perfected
