CIVIL SERVICE.
The Man Who Stands the Best
Examination Wins.

New YORK, November 15.-Thos. B. Har-
ris, one of the employees of the custom
house, was re-examined recently with a
view to promotion. Notwithstanding the
the fact that his percentage vast the highest,
the promotion was given to another man,
an honorably discharged soldier, to whom
Harris wrote to President Cleveland to
know why he had been set aside by man
far below him in civil service examination.
The case was referred to Collector Magone,
who in turn referred i to the Civi. Service
received. They are of the opinion that
preferences are for admission to classified
service and do not extend to promotion
therein. They hold that In comPetitive
those graded the highest in the register
should in all cases be the first certified to
the appointing officer.

DALLAS, Texas. November 15.-Two men
have been here for five days organizing an
agency in the interest of a filibustering ex-
pedftion into Mexico. Yesterday morning
they started for st. Louis, leaving man
here of extensive border experience to con-
tinue their work. There are now enrolled
in Dallas twenty or thirty trusted men
ready for a raid the moment the summons
is received, and the number will be swelled
to at least one hundred Five times that
number could be obtained but great pre-.
caution is exercised In selecting men and
none but the most trusted are accepted. In
this the prom ters and leaders expect to
prevent betrayal. In an interview one OF

A CITY Market.

EDITOR HERALD:-In looking over your

market house accessible on all sides is
much needed. Not only as convenience
to your citizens, but daily exposition Of
the many products of this beautiful country.
In a mild climate like this that can furnish
an excellent market. Every day in the
wear there is nothing that would so favor
ably impress the stranger as walk through
a green mar ket in mid winter. Can't you
suggest something in the new char.er tend

large enough to keep up garden OF trees,

Fighting the Telephone.

ROCHESTER, N. Y November ia meet
ing of the Bell Telephone subscribers was
held tonight and an association was formed
consisting of the lessees. 1t was agreed by
these that they would order their tele-
phones removed regardless of unexpired
contracts. 1t was further agreed that any
new arrangement of the company would
necessarily include recompense for any
loss by reason OF unexpired contracts. The
present members of the association consist
principally of representatives of business
houses and 1t is thought that the remaining
four hundred, which represent private
houses chiefly. will join the association.
The trouble grows out of an announcement
by the company that hereafter the rental
would be considered as covering a fixed
number of conversations and that connec-
ton made over and above that number
would be charged for in addition to the
rental.

Defa,catiou Discovered.

LONG ISLAND CITY. November l5.-The
advertising OF the property by the City
Treasurer to be sold to-oay for unpaid taxes
has led to the discovery that many persons
whose property was advertised for sale
held receipts for the amounts appearing
against them on the treasurer's books
Most of these receipts covering two or three
thousand dollars were issued during the
term of Treasurer John r. Morris, who
committed suicide four years ago, just be-
fore the expiration of his term of office.
The books Of the treasurer's Office show no
record of the receipt of the amounts in
question and it is probable that suit will be
commeuced against the bondsmen of the
deceased ex treasurer as soon as the actual
amount unaccounted for has been ascer-
tanned.
