H1aDnins's Civil Service Reforms.
PHILADELPHIA, July 17th.-The Times
has dOuble-leaded the following Washing
ton special: Secretary Manning is about
to impress on the Government one impOr-
tant feature of civil service reform that
most of the hot-and-cold theorists have
overlooked. He finds that he cannot have
the cordial and earnest cooperation neces-
sary in his department from partisan Gus
toinhouse officers. appointed solely for
partisan services, who are the authors of
the many abuses he is expected to reform.
He is thoroughly in earnest in the work of
reforming the revenue departments, and
finds his chief obstacles in partisan meth
DDS ahd partisan officials now running the
service, and viii, therefore, demand the
right to make his chief officials in harmony
with himself and the administration. The
President did not incline to a general
change Of chief Custom house officials, but
Manning has found himself handicapped
in almost every instance when trying to
reach the bottom Of abuses in the service

Murder and Suicide.

ELDORA (IOwa), July 17th.-Thc county
IS agog over q horrible tragedy last night al
a farmhouse four miles from this place
Grace Rand, a beautiful girl of 10 years
was a member of the family of George
Johnson, a farmer, whose wife was her sis
ter. The ladies customarily occupied bed
in the second story, while Johnson and the
hired man slept together down stairs Last
night the family retired as usual. Miss
Rand fell asleep quickly, and just as Mrs
Johnson had nearly lost consciousness she
was aroused by some one approaching the
bed. 1t was her husband. He leaned over the
bed, kissed her atfectionately, bade her
good night and left the room. Immediately
her husband had gone Mrs Johnson's at
tentiOn was attracted by strange move
ments made by her sister. Putting her
hand on the girls face, she was terror
stricken to feel blood gushing from her sis
ter's throat. 4 moment later the girl,
writhing in agony, rolled from the bed 10
the floor. Mrs. johnson struck light, and
discovered the girl lying dead, with her
throat cut from ear to ear. A hired man
came in answer 10 her screams, and in
stantly started TO alarm the neighbors.
When the nearest arrived Johnson, too,
was found dying near the door, with a
broad cash IN his throat and q bloody razor
beside him Johnson violently opposed
his sisteT-in-!aw' approaching marriage TO
young man of the neighborhood. The
theory is that he himself loved the girl
and in a fit OF insane jealousy murdered
her and took his own life

ing that Speaker Carlisle favors the suspension
of this coinage, for time, at least He has
made up his mind that if an international bime-
talic standard is to be established it can only
be brought about by change in the coinage
laws of the United States. Very strong press
ure is being brought to bear to induce him TO
give the craftsmanship of the committee on COIN
age to some less rabid silver man than Mr..
Bland Whether the Speaker will have the cour-
age to take this radical step in the direction
of better coinage is question which has not vet
been answered. Those who are in the position
to know, however, assert that the committee
Will consist of eight members known to favor
suspension and five who are disposed to keep up
the present issue of So. 900, 600 per month The
mere fact that majority of the committee will
be anti-silver men will not be sufficient to as
sure action upon any one of the bills which will
in all probability, be introduced. The power Of
the chairman is almost absolute, and if Mr..
Bland should again fill this position, he will
probably use his power as he did in the last Con-
gress to defeat the will of the majority by refus-
ing to call the committee together for the
consideration of any bill Congressman Darwin
Il. James, who will probably be the New York
member on the committee, is more hopeful to-
day OF action in this Congress than he has been
for some time. Mr.. James is firmly convinced
that the interests of the bimetalists can be best
subserved by a temporary suspension of the
coinage, and he thinks that if Mr.. Carlisle will
listen to the business men of the country, and
place the control of the coinage committee in the
hands of some one who will be likely to at least
give all sides fair trial. the Forty y-niLth Com
gress may. after all, do something with this i'm
portant subject
