THE CIvIL-sERvICE COMMISSION.

Views of Commissioners Eaton as to Reorgan-
izatiqn by the President.
WASHINGTON Oct An answer to q request
OF q reporter of the Associated Press for his
opinion whether the President would soon reor-
ganize the Civil-service Commission, and as to
how he would reorganize it, Commissioners Eaton
said:
Il viii give you my own views frankly, with
oat in the least assuming to speak for the Pres
idsnt My successor WILL presume, be ready
TO enter upon his duties on the LIST of November.
II the President, in view of the unreasonable
jealousies which exist, shall deem it wise to
supersede one or both Of the other Commission
ers, / think he will do so deliberately, freely,
and at the proper time. He will not be coerced.
either as to the time the persons to be selected
by the impudent demands of noisy Intermediates.
Those who clamor most about reorganization are
not friends of reform, and they have but to con-
tinue their clamor to make their feebleness as
manifest their hostility. If he shall place two
members of his own party upon the Commission,
he will not allow any laxity of administration or
favoritism on their part to open the way to
patronage and spoils, which are the aim of 80
many OF those most anxious to help him
TO bring about speedy reorganization. He
would, am sure, deprecate the making of a
precedent for treating the Office of Civil-service
Commissioners as political, and to be filled anew
by every succeeding president. Yet something
must be conceded, perhaps. to the exigency of a
new experiment and to an unenlightened public
opinion on the subject Knowing, as the Presi-
dent does. that the work of the Commission is
both new and complicated and that it is not
like the work of other parts OF the service ex-
planned in familiar regulations, l think he fully
appreciates that commissioner will gain
much by serving for time with one or more of
those familiar with the work. No disguised
enemy of reform could deal it more disastrous
blow than to bring about an immediate change
of all the Commissioners"

ONE OF LOVES TRAGEDIES.
Balloting for Life or Death-A Pair of Lovers
Take Their Lives in Central Park.
rFron, Orr Second Edit;o. If sa,dn,1

FROM OwT second EdttsoA or Sunday
NEW YORK, Oct AT o'clock this evening
Policeman Dugan. of the Central Park police,
on duty near Seventysecond street, heard a
pistol shot. A second and third in quick sue
cession gave him the direction, and hurrying
through the shrubbery in the darkness, he found
himself close by the statue of the
Pilgrim" on the east drive, when he
heard another shot Then followed several deep
groans and all was still. A light was struck,
and this was what the officer saw: man and
woman, both robed deeply in black, as if pre-
pared for funeral, lying upon horse blanket.
The woman was dead, and a smile was upon her
face, which. in life. had beer pretty. The man
was dying and soon was still. On the woman's
breast, which she had barred for the bullet,
lay lock of her lovers hair,
and upon his dead leaf and
a rose. Each wore on the left hand a black
glove, and between them lay bulldog pistol. A
drop of oil on the womans hands, and CRIME or
smoke on her fingers showed that there was no
murder, but suicide. The man having died last,
indicated that he had waited the woman's death
before taking his life. Two bullet holes were in
her breast at the heart, and her companions aim

The two bodies were placed upon a stretcher
by Dugan, the officer, and others who had ar
rived, and carried to the street, where wagon
was procured in which they were taken to the
morgue. There the box OF letters was opened.
There was mass of them. Part were written

RICHMOND. Oct. As on every Sunday of
the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Orthodox Friends,
this has been an eventful day in Richmond.
Vast crowds of people came by rail from distan,
cities. and in private conveyances from all the
country round, and for those who came for the
most laudable purpose the meeting furnished a
season of profitable devotional meetings and
commendable social intercourse, for in no relig-
ious sect or class of people is there any more
genuine friendship than in the Society of
Friends. But the major part of those who came
for this day only came for the pleas
ure of the trip and to see the vast
multitude and this time it was a
"cold day" for them, the sudden frigid change
of the weather making them wish for their over
coats. They were from Indianapolis, from
whence there came fifteen cars; from Bradford
junction, seven cars, while the regular train got
three carloads between there and Urbana; from
Logansport, eleven cars; from Fort Wayne, nine
cars; from Dayton, seven cars, and from Cincin-
natl, fourteen cars making in all about four
thousand excursionists. AS usual the ministers
in most all the churches gave up their pulpits to
Friends who were not appointed to preach at
their own meeting bouse, in which, and at the
