A Child Carried Off by Toy

An Indian Said to be Over One Hun

A GUEST OF GEN. MAHONE.
Senator Quay's Son Looking Over Az

Special Dispatch to the EVENING STAR.
PETERSBURG, Va, Aug. 19.-The train from
the west Saturday night had among its passen-
gers Gen. Malone, his son Butler, and r. r.
Quay, son of Hon. NJ. s. Quay, chairman of
the republican national committee. On their
arrival here the party were driven to the resi-
dence OF Gen. Malone, and on yesterday the
general and his visitor were called upon by a
number of leading republicans of the Malone
faction of this city, and matters concerning the
republican state convention to be held in Norfolk
on next Thursday, were discussed. Gen. Malone
has been in southwest Virginia for the past two
weeks or more, where he had conferences with
some of the most prominent lights of the party
in that section Of the state. Mr.. Quay's visit
here at this time is considered very sig
nifcant, and it is more than probable
that the next few days will bring other
prominent northern republicans here, who Will
attend the state convention at Norfolk.
THE CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.
Those who are prominently spoken of as proba-
BILE candidates on the republican ticket for
governor are Gen. Malone, Hon. Geo. Bowen
of Campbell county, Col. Joseph P. Minatree
of this city, and ex-Mayor William Lamb of
Norfolk. Mr.. Bowen has served two terms in
tion of the state. Col. Minatree is store keeper
of the Richmond and Danville railroad and
during the war was on Gen. Mahone's staff,
with the rank of colonel He is very popular
man, and it is said that the position he now
holds pays him a salary large as that of the
governor of the state, which is $1,000 Col.
Lamb is said to be a very affable gentleman,
and served with much gallantry in the con-
federate army, especially at the battle of Fort
Fisher. The general impression is that
MAHoNE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE NOMINATION
and that one of the other named gentlemen
will be nominated in his place. The friends of
Gen. Malone assert that his nomination would
create more enthusiasm in the state than that
of any other man who could be nominated, and
it is certain that every effort will be made to
induce him to accept the nomination. Should
Gen. Malone accept, the political fight in Vir-
ginia this fall would be one the like Of which
has never been witnessed in the Old Dominion.
The democratic state ticket. headed by Capt
Phil. Mckinney of Farmville for governor. is
considered a very strong one, and the demo-
Gratis are determined to lead it to victory,
Capt Mckinney is widely known and deserv-
ingly popular throughout Virginia, and is a
good speaker, and in a few weeks his voice will
be heard from the stump in advocacy of his
claims for governor and the success Of the
democratic ticket

SAVED BY RIFLE SHOTS.
A Child Carried OF by Toy Balloons Is
Brought Down by a Skiilful Marksman.

CHICAGO. Aug. 19.-At picnic yesterday,
given by the Pioneer relief and aid society for
the benefit Of the families Of the imprisoned
anarchists, Sophia Schwab, aged two, in some
way became entangled in the strings that held
a lot of toy balloons. In struggling to get
loosened from them, they became detached
from their fastening, and sailed into the air
carrying the sh-ieking child with them. The
mother tainted and the utmost excitement and
horror prevailed as the balloons gradually rose
to height of about 200 feet. And when the
breeze carried the balloons out over the lake
the babe was given up for lost. About this
time Gus Koch, an expert rideman who was
present, rushed for his rifle and called for a
boat. The balloons still maintained their alti-
tude and was fast sailing out over the lake. As
soon as the boat was near enough Koch COM
menced firing at the balloons, and one after
another pierced them until the bunch COM
menced to settle. Then the boat was rapidly
pulled to the spot. and when the balloons
descended the child was rescued before she
touched the water. Although terribly fright
ened the babe was uniniured

EXTENDING THE RULES.
The Civil Service Commission to Take
In More of the Departmental Service.

Before the President left the city Saturday
he had a conference with Civil Service Com
missioners Lyman and Thompson. 1t is UNDER
stood that certain changes in the rules were
submitted to the President for his considera-
tion, and it is stated that an official announce
ment will soon be made. One of the import
ant changes proposed, it is said, is an amend
ment Of the present rules so as to require an
examination before an appointment can be
made of chief Of division in the departmental
service Under the present rules chiefs of di-
visions while in the classified service are ex-
empted from examination and can be appointed
without being certified by the commissioner
If this change should be made it would extend
the civil service rules over nearly the entire
governmental service and would be the last
extension OF any importance that could be
made to the operation of the civil service law
The following are the exceptions under the
present rules from examination in the classified
departmental service: One private secretary or
one confidential clerk of the head of each
classified department and of each assistant Sec
appointed by the President by ard with the
advice and consent of the Senate; direct custo-
dians Of money for whose fidelity another
officer is under official bond but this exception
does not include any officer below the grade of
assistant cashier or assistant teller; disbursing
officers who give bond; persons employed
exclusively in the secret service of the govern
ment; chief clerks and chief of divisions.
A number of additional places are also spe-
clfically excepted from examinations in the
various depar rtments,

NEW YORK, Aug. l9.-The bad bank state

Prince SuIkowski's Revelations

LONDON, Aug. 19.-Prince Sulkowski, who re-
Gently escaped from the celebrated aristocratic
lunatic asylum at Doebling, near Vienna, and
who has been adiudged by German physicians
to be of sound mind, is in danger of being sur
rendered to the Austrian authorities, who have
made demand for his body. He has been
making some revelations not at all palatabie to
the Austrian court, among which is his very
positive assertion that an Austrian nobleman
of high rank is still confined in Doebling. sim
ply because he happened to know the circum-
stances attending the death of the Crown
Prince Rudolph. The alleged correspondence
between Prince Rudolph and the unfortunate
object of his love, Marie Vetzera, is having an
extensive sale, but the authenticity of the
letters is stoutly denied by the court circle
Prince Sulkowskis friends have rallied to his
support and it is doubtful if the German gov
ernment will dare to give him up to Austria,
although it may insist upon his keeping to him.

Austrian court to have revealed.

THE SUFFERING MINERS.
Little Ones Dying Daily and Sickness
Greatly on the Increase.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Globe this morning
says: The suffering, starvation, sickness and
death among the miners families in northern
Illinois is greater today than at any time in the
past. The large supplies sent through the
Chicago relief committee have been exhausted
and the people are face to face with hunger.
The little ones are dying daily and sickness is
greatly on the increase. 1t is no longer a
secret that the operators have decided to open
their mines with nOn-union men and have al
ready prepared to call upon the sheriff and
governor for armed officers and soldiers to hold
their locked-out miners in check. 1t is impos-
sible to predict what the consequences in such
an event will be. Infuriated by hunger the
wretched miners will be in no temper to per-
NIT, except nnder the rifles of the militia,
others to take their places in the shafts.

DEATH AND POLITICS..
How the Situation in the House Is
Affected by MIR. Laird's Demise.

The death of Congressman Laird leaves the
relative positions Of the two parties in the
the House just what it was after the election.
The democrats were first to lose a man by
death-Gay OF Louisiana. The death of Laird
takes off republican. Out Of this situation
the chances seem better for the republicans to
gain vote. It is conceded that there is no
hope for the democrats to elect a man to sue
ceed Laird; whereas, on the other hand, the
district MIR. Gays death left vacant is
probably naturally republican. 1t is gen.
orally understood that Mr. Gay was en-
abled to carry it because of his being
protectionist and having plenty of money,
which he was free to spend. To hold this same
influence in operation Mr.. Gays son-in-law
has been nominated by the democrats but
whether they can elect him is a question.
Miner, the republican nominee, is said to be
strong and all efforts possible will be made to
elect him. The republicans claim that all that
is necessary for them to carry the district is to
have fair count of the votes

The United States inspector has completed his

account of ill-health, left the entire manage
ment of the post office to Denny. Denny had

THE GEOLOGICAL PARK.
Difficulties Met by the Surveyors In
Going Over the Ground.

The surveyors at work on the geological park
grounds find they have about as troublesome
bit of surveying to do as could we'll be imagined.
The irregularity of outline and curious lines Of
holdings have given them much trouble, but
they are making very accurate survey and ex-
pect to be through in three or four weeks. MIR.
Hornaday says that the more he goes over the
ground the better satisfied he is with it. He is
studying the lay Of the ground and laying out the
park on paper, and as he divides it into sections
for the various animals he is delighted to see
how readily each species may be provided with
a home suited to its nature.
No advancement with the work, however
can be made until the SURVEYS are comnleted
