NETWORK, September 16.-A special
from Philadelphia to the Times gives
western mans experience in that city
yesterday. Following is the story:
"You are the man that insulted me
and this is how get even" A rather
good-looking, weIl-dressed and mdscu-
lar young woman, accompanied this de-
cIaration, with blow straight from the
shoulder. 1t knocked dude up against
the Pennsylvania Railway ticket office,
at Broad and Chestnut Streets, about
IL o'clock last night. The blO@ caught
him straight between the eyes and
smashed ms eye glasses. The young
woman had followed up her advantage
with half a dozen more blows that
sent the man sprawling. be

down from the young woman's left. The
man had a swollen eye, puHed-Out lip.
and was blee1ing coplously. at the end
of the female slugger's initiatory TATTOO
upon his frontpiece, he brought himself
up with an effort and made two or three
passes at his adversary, but his blows
were Warded off with skill and grace

the face of the woman, who had her
blood up and who counted every time
with telling effect. For fully FIVE min
utes the one sided contest was kept up,
and then the man began to shout
police" A policeman finally appeared
and grabbed the man. Thinking he
had been attacked from the rear by
confederate of the woman, he continued
to shout murder" at the top OF his
voice until policeman yanked him Ou'
of reach of the woman's clinched fists.
The latter, as she stopped 10 pick up
her cuffs remarked cooliy: 1T is good
thing for that fellow that you got mere
when you did, or I'd have killed him."
The man, who is a drummer from
Grand Rapids, begged the bystanders
to protect nim, anu two of them went
with him to the Broad Street station.

New Arrangements in the Civil Ser

new ArEanSem In the ClVlA Ser
vice.
New YORK, September 16.-A Wash
ington special says: A plan of promo
ton has been prepared by the civil SER
vice commissioners, and will probably
be submitted to the President for his
approval soon after his return frou the
Adirondacks. 1t contemDlates the
formation of boards of promotion in
each department in Washington, to be
assisted by an auxiliary number from
each bureau, to whom applications and
candidates for promotion are to be pre-
sented. Applications are to be sub
iected to practical examination and
to be rated and marked after the eX-
animation and certified for promotion
four at a time, just as candidates
who are successful in the primary exa-
limitations before the commissioners,
heads of bureaus, or divisions to have
the privilege Of marking the rapers OF
candidates as to efficiency. Attention
was directed in April last bv a mem Der
of he board OF departmental examiners
to the fact that a few of the fourteen
examiners on the official list were mark
ing all the papers and passing upen
them, and that an excuse was made by
most of the examiners that they could
not attend official duties and find time
to mark the examination papers. A
proposition will be made to have a
board of one member from each depart
ment to be constantly employed mark
ing papers. Some which are a year old
and not yet marked up are in the Office
of the commissioners. 1t is in contem-
plation to have the proposed board
mark al papers. not only for depart
ment, but for customs and pos tai SER
vice so as to insure perfect impartislIty
uy having them judged by absolute
strangers, and persons who will soon
become experts in discriminating be-
tween papers.
