Congressman Wilson Writes n Letter
which Explains Itself.

Which Explains Itself.
CHARLESrowS, W. Va, July 8, 1885.
Editor West TirgiHiG Democrat:
In your issue of June Goth, is letter
written by Hon d. B. Lucas to the Presi-
dent in which be embodies a rumor as to
some combination among the Senators and
Representatives Of West Virginia for the
control Of Federal patronage in the State.
Severe illness since the above date of the
paper, has prevented my prompt notice of
it. lam able as yet only to enter my full
contradiction of this rumor, and to
say that so far as / au concerned
and 30 far as / know, there
has been no agreement or suggested agree
ment among them. or any part Of them,
looking to the control Of Federal positions
in this State, nor have ever assumed an,
right to such control / will ask the privi-
lege IS soon as l can do 50, of making 8
fuller statement through your columns as TO
rhis matter. Meantime I viii ouly add iha
there is perhaps no Democratic delegation
in Congress, that has hal less conference
combination or concert OF action as to ap
pointmeuts under the new Administration
than that from our State.
Respectfully, W. L. WILSON.

New York, Oct. ga dense fog pre-
vailed in and around the city this morn
ing, impeding travel on the railways and
navigation on both rivers to great extent.
The first mishsp reported was collision
on the North river. The steamer Hacken-
sack, oil the Hoboken Ferry line, lett Ho.
boken at 0:4O this morning for this city.
She was packed with more than l 900 pas
sengers, most OF whom were on her bow.
The fog was so thick that au object ten
feet away could not be discerned.
At 7 o'clock, while under half steam,
she ran into the Btern OF the Cunard
steamer Servia in her berth, foot Of Clark
son street. The HGckepsack struck bow
on with fearful force. A panic ensued.
Men were knocked down and trampled
on; women tainted, and cries 6lled the air.
Many persons were seriously injured.
Ten feet OF the Hackensack's bow was
carried away. Finally she made her slip
at Barclay street at 7:l0. Several Of the

organize the CommlssIon with Good Men
but Ho Cannot Find ANY who arc
wnIirE to Make tho Sacrifice.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-An intimate
friend Of the President who talked with
him on the snbjsct, says he is expert.
enCing much difficulty in lis efforts TO re-
organize the Civil Service Commission.
IIc is aiming to secure for that service
three men who are well known and whose
namea would be received as an earnest Of
his purpose TO give such character to the
Commission as 10 give confidence to the
frtendsofthe movement, ,andthathe regards
Civil Service Reform as one Of the most
important features Of his administration.
At the same tirGe the President ia seeking
men whose appointment will satisfy the
people, whether friendly to the movement
or not, that It is in the hands Of practical,
reasoning men, who are not doctrin2ireG,
and who will consider and suggest needed
notifications TO populariz4 the reform in
the execution OF the law without impair
ing its benefits.
The salary OF the position is only $500
per annum and few men OF prominence
who posses the qualities named are will
ling to make the s1critace. The reason
why some OF the many persons whose
names suggest themeelVeBt 10 the public in
connection with the place are not ap-
pointed is because they have already de-
clined. No appointment has yet been de-
termined upon. Among those whn have
declined appointment are Mr.. saltOnstall
and Mr.. Charles Codmsn, Of MGssa-
chusetts, and Judgs schoonmaker and L.

MONTREAL, Oct. 2S-The statement Of
Mrs. D. R. Boland, daughtsr-in-law Of a
leading Methodist clergyman, and who
has Just been discharged from st. Roch's
Smallpox Hospital, is published here to-
day, and discloses o revolving state OF
affairs in that institution. The doctors
gave her no professional attention, and
very little nursing is done, except by con-
vslescsnt patients. Tho cries OF patients
for water are often heartreuding, and only
met by the response to "shut up" The
stencil is reyoltlng, and there is no de-
odoriz:ng.
No attention is ever given to those sent
10 the black smallpox ward. The cries
that come from that awful place are fright
iul. She mentions case in which q doc
tor, when entreated, would give no relief
TO patient, and she died unattended.
The place is said to be infested with YER
min. A committee OF doctors have in-
speCted the hospital, which will probably
be burned, and all patients removed TO
the new Mount Royal Hospitals.
Official returns at the Health Office show
that there were forty deaths yesterday in
this city, three in Cote st. Louis, one in
St, Jean Baptiste, one in Ste. Cunegonde,
two in St. Henri and one in Cote st. Paul.
The new disinfecting machine, ordered In

MR. CLEVELAND is, we believe, the first
Of the Presidents to be forced to nail on
the font door of the White House a
notice warning his party of the premises.
The mad onslaught Of the hungry has been
TOO much for a man OF his strong physique,
and in despair he declares that the Office
seekers make him tired"
Heretofore access to the President has
been very easy, perhaps easier than Presi-
dents, in Justice to themselves, ought to
have permitted. In earlier days, before
thu country was so populous and the
offices 80 many, it was less task than
now to hear every suitor in person. Presi-
dent CIsveIand's position is the more irk-
some because his party had been out OF
power for nearly quarter OF century,
and large clement thereof not unnatural
ly regards power as very near akin to
place. Nobody, except the most hungry,
will find fault with the President for en-
deavoring to save some time to devote to
public matters other than mere appeals
for office.
