Ober1y,s Answer.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Aug. ia morning paper
prints long letter from Civil Service Com
missioner Oberly in reply to charges made
against the commissioner by Republican sem
ators. 1t is a very explicit letter on the
Record, and is cited as complete answer to
the charges. They were in substance that
Democratic commissioners had, from par
tisan motives, aided the Democratic commits
sioner of pensions to secure Democratic spe-
cial examiners. Commissioner Oberly cites
the words in which these charges were made,
and then shows by the Record that the pres
ent CO mm1ssion is not responsible for the
measures by which Gen. Black got seventy
two Democrats out of seventy-six or seventy
seven appointments. He further says that
the present commission has determined that
in the future the whole list of eligibles shall
not be certified to the commissioner, but only
four from those standing highest for each va
cancy, just as In all other cases.

Their Game Blocked.

Last Monday man from Mason City
was held up and robbed at Hopkins station
of $50 and check for his trunk The
case was given to Detectives King and
Lawrence, who laid in wait for the man
who should present the check for
the trunk at the Milwaukee
depot. Tuesday the check was
presented and the trunk was hauled to the
Dubuque house, on Eighth avenue south.
The detectives kept watch for the trunk
and yesterday an expressman called for it
and again took it to the depot. Here, by
some mistake, one of the depot policemen
arrested the man who had given the ex-
pressman the order. He proved to be
Andy Dorner, living at 212 Fourth street
south, and was acting either as
tool for the real thieves or had been in
nocently used by them to get possession of
the trunk, as he claims. The detectives
plan was to keep sight of the trunk until it
was in the hands of the thieves and then
gobble them. By the premature arrest
yesterday their game was spoiled.

To Collect a JUDGMENT.

John Schultz has commenced an action
against Hubert Thesis. Susanna Thesis and
Michael HUM to set aside certain convey
ances of real estate in order that the same
may be sold to satisfy judgment against
Hubert Thesis. The complainant alleges
that he obtained a judgment against the
first-named defendant for $500 50 March
81, 1886, and before he could get out a writ
OF attachment against the property owned
by Thesis he made it all over to his wife
and Michael HUM, they paying nothing for
it. The property in question is worth
$780, 900 and as the defendant has no other
property the complainant wants the con-
veyance set aside in order that his judgment
may be satisfied.
