"He Surprised the Commission" "

A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun this morning says under the above
heading:
"a young man named Charles ii, Bur
nett, now employed below the classified
service in the Patent Office, gave the
Civil Service Commissioners surprise
Saturday. He called on Commissioner
Edgerton in the morning and requested
permission TO take the examination in
stenography and type-writing, Mr..
Edgerton was very iavorably impressed
by the young man, and although he was
not quite IS years of age, and therefore
ineligible to an appointment to the classi-
fed service, accorded him the desired
permission. The young man first took
the limited examination, aud 10 Is said NJ
the commission attained the highest per
centage ever attained 10y any one, young
or old, since the organization of the Civil
Service Commission. lie was dictated to,
and both his typc-writing and shorthand
work was il Is said, absolutely perfect
The Commissioners were so well pleased
that they determined to secure his services
for themselves and Mt once appointed
him to n place under the commission"

rhcy Do Not Want Libby.

Chicago dispatches state that the senti-
ment is unanimous there against the re-
moyal of the Libby prison to that city.
Judge Tuley said: 81 do not think il a
polite thing to do. AS soon as we can
burn up these mementos ofthe war, both
North and South, the better it will be for
the good of the country" District At
tOmey Ewing said ~ think that Libby
prison ought to have been blown to atoms

it here or taking it anywhere. Architect
urally it is an abortion, and il would be a
disgrace from that point alone for any
part of Chicago within eight miles of the
courthouse" Mr.. John i. Drake, we'll
known hotel proprietor, said; ~ think
the whole thing absurd. 1t ought not to
be done. 1t is only u speculation and
ought to be failure. 1t only keeps alive
the sectional feeling and the people of
Richmond should not allow il to be done

uNDERGRouND WIRES.
Probable Action of Congress on This
Subject at This Session.

\ vigorous effort is being made to Sc
cure action by the Appropriations Com
mittees ofCongress to provide for putting
all Government telegraph, telephone and
other wires in this city underground.
The Commissioner of Public Buildings
and Grounds is moving actively in this
matter, and has the fun cooperation of
other Federal officials and the District au-
thorities.
Colonel Wilson takes the position that
the Underground system is no longer ex-
perimental, and is the only system
adapted to cities. He believes that every
consideration of public interest aud eli
cheney Of service is in favor of putting the
public wires under ground.
Other advocates of such action claim
that this course must he pursued in re-
gard TO the Government and District
wires before those of corporations and in
dividuals can be compelled to be put un-
derground.
II is believed that Congress will provide
for at least portion of the work and
that several of the Federal wires will be
placed under ground during the present
wear,

Mrs. William 4. Marry, the eldest
daughter of Commodore NJ. T.. Maury
and wife Of the First Assistant Attorney
General, hgs received from Rear Admiral
Ncils lhlen of the Royal Norwegian
Navy draft oil DreXel, Morgan IL Co.
for $2ls,2l. a letter, accompanying the
order, informs Mrs. Maury that the
amount represented in the draft was col.
lcctcd i'm Sweden in 1855 as part of the
"Maury Testimonial but that, having
fallen short of its object, the sender re-
quests Mrs. Maury to place the money to
the credit of the late Commodorc's
children.
In 1868 the maritime nations of Europe
united in raising testimonial of graft.
tude for the services Commodore Maury
had rendered the navies of the world by
publishing his Wind and Current
Charts Sailing Directions ~ physical
Geography of the Sea" and other things
relating 10 marine matters. The sum of
$4,000 was raised and presented to the
Commodore in gold and silver casllet by

Place.

Captain Gritfn Dissatisfied with His
Place.
1t has leaked out that Captain Eugene
Griffin, the able and genial assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner, is dissatisfied
with his place, and he has asked for n
leave of absence for six months. This Is
regarded as equal to n request to be re-
lieved, and if the leave is granted it will
undoubtedly result in some other officer
being assigned TO the place.
Captain Griffin is one of the best Ell
gineer officers in the Corps of Engineers,
the District, His principal duties are in
connection with the street, sewer and
railroad matters.
Major Raymond regrets very much the
probable loss of so able an assistant.

Cut Down One-BaIf.

The Commissioners have been requested
by the House District Committee to pre-
pare Il new schedule of street improve
ments for next year. The schedule sub
mltted by the Commissioners in their an
nual report was made ON the basis of an
$500, 900 appropriation. The committee
prepared on a 100000 basis. The appro-
priation for the Aqueduct, Of which the
Commissioners pay half appears to have
been overlooked in the make up of the
estimates. The Commissioners are en-
gagged in selecting what are considered
the streets for which Improvements are
considered most urgent This will take
some lime and cause cOnsiderable work.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Jan. 13.-The biz.
card raging through the Northwest is adj
mittedly the worst in years. All the rail-
roads are blockaded, and traffic almost
entirely suspended. The storms worst
feature has been the strong Northwest
wind blowing from forty to sixty miles an
hour. which in Dakota filled the dir with
snow and sand, and made it dangerous to
venture out of doors.
At six O. clock this morning the temper
ature was fifty-two below at Grand Forks,
Dakota, but had risen to thirty five below
by ten O'Clock. The sky is now clear, but
