the ground At the corner of Forty-n ninth and

THE c1v1L-sERvIcE RULES.

An Amendment of Rule 60 by the President.
WASHINGTON, Aug 16-Upon the advice oi
the Cvil-service Commission, President Cleve
land has amended Rule 60 of the amended civil
service rules, to read as follows:
Rule 60. All applications for regular compet
tive examination for admission to the classified
civil service must be made on blank forms,
to be prescribed by the Commission. Re-
quests for blank forms of application
for competitive examination for admission
to the classified civil SERVICE and all regular ap-
plications for such examination shall be made,
First if for the classified departmental service,
TO the United States Civil-service Commission
at Washington, d. c.; second, II for the classi
fed customs service, to the civileervica
board of examiners for the customs district
in which the person desiring to be
examined, wishes to enter the custom service;
l3) for the classified postal service to the civil
service board of examiners for the postoffice at
which the person desiring to be examined wishes
to enter the postal service.
Requests for blank forms OF application 10
customs and postal boards of examiners must
be made in writing by the person de.
string examination; and such blank forms
shall not be furnished to any ether
persons. The Commission. in submitting this
rule as amended, give to the President the fol-
lowing statement of reasons for advising the
amendment ''The evils of this way of making
applications have become apparent to the Com
mission. The applicant who is member of the
party to which the appointing or nominating
officer belongs, exposes to that officer his polir
ical opinions and affiliations by statements Of
them, and the applicant who is member Of the
opposite party exposes his political opinions
andaffiliations by his silence concerning them.
After examination, when the notices OF stand
ing have been given, each of the applicants who
have been passed. makes haste to inform the ap-
pointing or nominating officer OF MS standing
Thus that officer becomes informed not only OF
the political opinions and affiliations OF all the
applicants bur also OF their relative standing on
the eligible register. In this way he obtains all
tie information he should aot have--all ne could
ACQUIRE If he were the custodian of the registers
In this connection it may be stated that the
Commission has lately instructed it's customs or

method of the prosecution, which made use OF
such means TO gain it's ends. In this connection
he referred TO the testimony of informers Waller

Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 16.-John King and
Charles Watering, both for some time connected
with low dives in this city, were arrested on Sat
urday at Casse.ton, D. T., as accomplices in the
murder of Rev. Mr. Haddock, and ar
rived in this city early this morn
ing in company with the city marshal
and chief of police, and have been closely
guarded all day. tits claimed that on the night
of the murder these men were cognizant of the
plot to make the assault on the following day
left the city, and when arrested they
made no resistance and came back
without requisition, being led to
believe that they were wanted only as wit
nesses. 1t is certain that there were six in the
conspiracy, and now that two have been cap
tured the securing of the others will be an easy
matter, and it is believed that King is the man
who did the shooting, and they have been recog-
nized by one of the witnesses as men seen near
the scene of the murder few minutes beforehand.
Coroner Waterman reached here to-day and
the jury convened and has been in session, and
are to-day examining King and Watering
The testimony has been kept from the public

most peculiar freak of the lightning was exhb-
tied in the residence of David Beauchamp. of
this place. The lightning struck the kitchen
fue, and, passing down the hue, when within
the room, one part followed the stove-pipe
passing to and tearing its way through
the floor, killing a dog that lay
about six feet from where it passed
through the floor. The other fork of lightning
passed down the upright studding that supports
the tue to within about three feet of the floor
when it passed through the partition into the
bedroom, where it leaped to the bed upon which
Mr.. and Mrs. Beauchamp were lying, striking
the springs at the head of the bed passing to the
foot, and down the left-hand post tearing that
part of the bed literally into splinters. Thence
it passed through the wall and to the earth.
Strange to say, neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Beauchamp
was hurt. About one hour after the occurrence
Mrs Beauchamp complained of numbness in her
left arm.
