BALTIMORE, March 24.-The commu-
n~ication Of the committee of the Civil
Service Reform Association to Secretary
Manning upon Eugene Higgins appoint
ment as clerk, was disclosed to-day. 1t
begins with 1875, when Higgins is
charged with having violated the ballot
boxes at Governor Carols election.
After the election and while the ballots
were in the office of the clerk Of the SUI
perior court, he is charged with having
fraudulently destroyed the ballots of one
party and substituting the tickets of the
other party. In 1879 he is charged with
having gone to GAINESVILLE, a district Of
Howard county, and having been the
champion bulldozer of that district, ;
under a "rowdy alias and with a pistol
and whisky bottle in his hand terrorized
the quiet citizens and illegally voted
hundreds of negros and other brought
from the outside by the assistance of the
district register and other conspirators. "
Again, he is charged with being a lobby
ist and with holding an interest in a
gambling house.

school His age was twelve years last
February. Until recently he had been in
the eighth room but the studies were so
much too hard for him that he was re,
duced to the seventh room. Possibly this
retrogression was distasteful to him, and
may have had something to do with his
disappearance, but there is nothing GER
tain about this. 1t is only known that he
whispered to classmate on Monday fore
noon, saying that perhaps he would no,
be back to school any more. His parents
say that he seemed perfectly satisfied al
home. He was well treated, and had nc
known grievances. There are five other

Bromley Beats Gamble j..

A large and enthusiastic audience
witnessed the race between Jay Gamble,
champion of the west, and Richard Brom-
ley, at the Banner rink last night, which
was a more than ordin Try exciting contest.
SAYS the Gazette: the race consisted of
three one mile heats, Gamble handicap>
ping himself twenty. feet on each mile,
which gave his opponent considerable adj
vantage. The skaters were started f'om
positions on opposite sides of the rink.
The first heat was won by Gamble min
utes 6l seconds, winning by only Il few
feet. The second heat was not rs aXcitr
ing one as the first, Gamble apparently
not exerting himself to his fullest power.
Bromley won the heat in minutes and 5
seconds, q second and one-half better
time than was made in the first. As the
third heat decided the contest much
greater degree of interest was manifested
in its result. Gamble made n very bad
start, losing several seconds, which en-
abed Bromley to gain for IA number OF
laps. Gamble then began working and
in comparatively short time gained what
he lost on the start and shortened the adj
vantage distance which he had given
Bromley. From the fifteenth lap of the
last heat to the close the excitement was
intense. Bromley won the heat and race
in minutes and 8 seconds. 1t was so
close that majority of the audience be-
licved Gamble had won. CANDLES best
time for mile in the Banner rink was
35S and the best time he ever made in q
mile race was minutes and 81 seconds
in the Denver, Colorado rink. Gamble
and Bromley leave in few days for OF
tumwa, St. Louis, Chicago and Milwau-
kce on skating tour.
