the usual amount of good cheer, mirth max

there were public exercises on Thursday

with their neat blue uniforms were seated
the whole presented pleasing picture.

AusTIN's THUG CAPTURED.
a Mexican Who Has Made A Reign
of Terror in Texas's Capital.

GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 31.--A special to
the News from Austin, Texas, says that Eus-
tacio Martinez, a Mexican 40 years old, was
arrested last night on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the mysterious murders which
have recently startled the citizens of Austin.
He lived in secluded spot near the river,
and search of the premises resulted in the
discovery of bloody garments and several az
ticles of female apparel Martinez has no
family. Among the articles found was an
ice hook, such as experts testified might have
been used in the murder of Mrs. Ramey and
her daughter several months ago. prayer
book, with the name ELLA r. Ramey" writ
ten on the title page, was also found, togeth-
er with two handkerehiefs, one of which
bore the initials j. R., worked in silk, and
the other marked A. Detectives think that
the arrest of Martinez will. clear away the
mystery of the outrage and murder of the
Ramey women.
Evidence was also discovered connecting
the prisoner with the recent murders of Mrs.
Hancock and Mrs. Phillips, and the assault
upon the latter's husband. The wounds in
fiicted on Phillips's head were very similar
to those found on the Ramey girl, and were
probably inflicted with the same instrument.
Martinez shows signs of being crank. He
admits that he was imprisoned for two years
in Brownsville for aSsaulting woman. The
old blood stains ON the clothing are being
examined by scientists.

Many Idle Ships Rusting and Rotting
at British Docks.

LONDON, Dee. 31.-The prospects of English
shipowners are but little improved and the out
look for Scotch shipping is as bad as ever A
tremendous amount of capital is tied up to Scotch
wharyes in the shape of steamships which are
rusting and rotting for lack or employment. In
the Leith docks alone fifteen steamers are lying
idle. Some of them have not been in commission
for many months. All of them have been laid off
because they could not earn enough for their own
maintenance out of the low rates to which freghts
have been forced by keen competition. These
fifteen vessels have an aggregate capacity of 12,-
627 tons and they are worth 81 100000,
This is only one example of the condition of the
ocean-earrying trade in Scotland. The figures
would have to be multiplied many times to repre-
sent the total tonnage and value OF the steamers
lying idle in all the Scotch ports. The overpro-
duetion of steam freighters is generally assigned
as the of this state Of affairs but that is not
its only cause Close competition in the past has
stimulated ingenuity in the construction of YES
sells and engines with yieWof economlzing fuel
and labor. Great strides have been made in this
direction by the inventive mechanics of the Clyde.
The result is that vessels which were considered
almost perfect few years ago cannot now COM
pete with new craft.
There is but one hopeful Indication for the ship
owners. The returns from the Clyde shipbuilding
district prove that there has been less building
this year than last BIZ thrty-lye per cent Ii this
rate of decrease IS maintained, tie greatest cause
for the depression in freights Will disappear The
number and tonnage of vessels af1oat Will again
he proportiOnate to the amount of freight to be
carried, and rates can be raised to profitable

CIVIL SERVICE.
Commissioner Eaton Explains why
Applicants are Removes from the
Records.

/ WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Commissionef Eaton
has Just made report relative to the removal of

anticipated he says when civil service examina-

when for the various offices there would he so
| great and needless number ofIapplicants As to
make necessary some limitation Of time that they
! should be allowed to retain their places on the
record books kept of those seekingto be examined
AS the commission is required with certain small
exceptions to notify all applicants for examna-
tlon IN order to enter their naWeS on these rec
ords 1t is plain that so large numbers might in a
snort time have their names entered thereon as to
prevent Tor years perhaps any other persons be-
lns feached for examination. To enable the COM
Rule 13 authorized il. to provide by regulation for
dropping from the records applicants whose
names mad been thereon six months or more with
out having been reached in the course of examin-
alloh az regulation OF that kind While preventing
any sueh monopoly would allow equal chance to
HIor Delng examined. If any of those drolped
ueSlre another chance of being reached for exam
lnatl0n they can make new application andtbe
entered on the foot Of the record. AS the number
examined is sure TO be many times greater tIan
the number appointed it would obviously be a
waste OF the time of the examiners and needless
TABOR TO go on with unlimited examination regard
less OF the public need by which the chances If
every one examined for office would he made more
ana more remote. 1t may take some time to cause
lne supply and demand in the matter of examinal
tons and appointments to ftly adjust
themselves to each other but some such
adjustment will before long be reached

phcants has not been beyond the number needed

THE LABOR QUESTION.
An Outrage Committed by Disgrun-

DENVER, Col, Dec. 31.-Yesterday MORN
lug at 8 O'Clock, three masked men entered
the engine room Of the Marshal Coal Compa-
ny's works at Erie, on the Colorado Central
railroad, 40 miles from this city, captured
the engineer, took him several hundred
yards away, tied him, and then returned and
set fire to all the coal in the company's hoist
ing works The engine house, tramway,
and several cars of the railroad company
were completely destroyed. The loss will
reach over $4,000. Several hundred men
are thrown out Of employment
Three weeks ago the wages of the men in
the company's mines were cut down. The
Knights of Labor ordered strike, but the
miners rather than be without work, at this
time Of the year refused to obey. This out
rage is supposed to be another outcropping
of the Rock Springs trouble, instigated by
the Knights of Labor and a few striking
miners.
