A DrumIner's Experience.
New York. Sept. 16.-A special from
Philadelphia 10 the Times gives o western
mans experience in that city yesterday.
Following is the story: "You are the
mar. that insulted me and this is how /
get even." A rather good looking, we'll
dressed and muscular young woman ac-
companied this declaration with q straight
one from the shoulder. 1t knocked q dude
up against the Pennsylvania railway ticket
Office at Broad and Chestnut streets about
II o'clock last night. The blow caught
him straight between the eyes and smashed
his eyeglasses. The young had
followed up her advantage with half a
dozen more blows that sent the man
sprawling. He arose to his feet. He was
met By another knock-down from the
young woman's left. The man had q
swollen eye. and his pulled out lip was
bleeding copiously. At the end Of the
female sloggor's initiatory tattoo upon his
frontispiece he brought himself up with
IN effort and made two or three passes at
his adversary, but his blows were warded
off with the skill and grace that an Amer
lean champion might have envied. Not
one OF his hits reached the face of the
woman, who had her blood up and counted
every time with telling effect. For fully
five minutes the one-sided contest was kept
up. and then the man began to shout,
Z" Police" A policeman finally appeared
and grabbed the man. Thinking he had
been attacked from the rear by a confeder-
ate of the fury he continued to shout
|" Murder at the top Of his voice until
the policeman ysnked him out Of reach of
the woman's clinched fists. The latter, as
she stopped to pick up her cuffs, remarked
cody: Its q good think for that fellow
that you got here when you did, or I'd
killed him." The man who is a drummer
for a Grand Rapids firm begged the by
ISLANDERS to protect him, and two Of them
vent with him to the Broad street station.
He had had a quarrel with the oma in
n~eighboring beer garden, and she took this
mode of redress. Nobody knows who she
is, but a man in the crowd was heard to
express the opinion that the fighter wat

New Civil Service regulations Pro
posed.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A Washington
special says: A plan of promotion has
been prepared by the Civil Service Com
missioners, and will probably be sub
mitted to the President for his spprova
soon after his return from the Adiron'
dacks. 1t contemplates the formation Of
boards of promotion in each Department
in Washington, to be assisted by an auxil
larry number from each Bureau, to whom
the applications and candidates for pro
motion are to be presented. Applications
are to be made subject to practical exsmi
nation, and to be rated and marked after
the examination and certified for promo
tion four at a time-just as candidates whit
are successful in the primary examina
tons before the Commissioner. The head
of Bureaus or divisions are to have the
privilege Of marking the papers of candi
dates, as to efficiency. Attention was di
rected in April last by q member OF the
Board Of Department Examiners to the
fact that q few of the IA examin.
ers on the official list were marking
all of the papers and passing upon
them, and that an excuse was made BY
most of the examiners that they could not
attend to the official duties and find time
to mark examination papers. A prop.
osition will be made to have o board oil
one member Of each Department to be
constantly employed marking papers,
some Of which are a year old. and not yet
marked up, are in the Office of the Com
m~issioners. 1t Is in contemplation
to have the proposed board mark all
papers, not only for the Department. but
for the Customs and Postal service, so as
insure a perfect impartiality by having
them judged by absolute strangers and
persons who will soon become experts in
discriminating between papers.
