Lives Lost In a Hotel Fire.

STEVENS POINT, Wis, June 6, 1882
The st. James Hotel, near the Wisconsin
Central depot, caught fire shortly after
eight O'Clock last evening, and was totally
destroyed, with all its contents. The
night clerk, Charles Oatball, and two Of
the girls, Maggie Reilly and M known
as Nettie, are missing, and there is little
doubt that all three lost their lives.
The two first named were on the second
floor when the fire started, and came
down, but went back to secur their wear
ing apparel. All who escaped saved moth
ing but what they had on their persons.
The station and adjacent buildings to the
hotel were saved with hard work. *

Well
How the Gladiators did get square with
Easton yesterday afternoon for their de-
feat of Tuesday.
Thirteen to onei And men were left on
bases almost every inning.
The game was won Just as soon as it
had begun. Knowles and Hiland led off
with bases on balls, and O'Brien sent
them along a peg with a nice safe one
over Trask's head. Then Gerhardt sent
one like a bullet into Doyle's hands, and
the three base-filiers stood still. But
Friel knew better than that, and knocked
u long fly out to Hines In the middle gar
den. He went back to the bench, and so
did Knowles, for Joe scored on the sacri-
flee. Then came Burke with a single, and
Inland and O'Brien scored. I'D
EliS lead was never overcome, and the
only run made by the Pennsylvanians
was in the fifth, when Hines sent q two
Dagger to the left field fence. O'Conhell
was Knocked silly by being hit In the
head by a pitched ball, and Doyle gotefour
bad ones. 1t looked like lots Of runs, but
it didnss come out that way. Foulkrod
the Snapper just in time to put Doyle out
and double Foulkrod up at first. But In
the course of the play Hines crossed the
plate and O'ConneH got to third. This
credited Foulkrod with a sacrifice hit,
though it was the mildest apology for one
that can be imagined.
The game was wholly nninteresting,
aside from Daley's pitching and the cen
trefield play Of Hines, he catching six
flies and making two assists.
The crack he got in the head was very
flattering, and today he is showing every
one the lump. The .score:-

They Give a lam by wretched Playing

The New Jersey Athletic Clubs team,
through abad attack Of ~rattles, presented
the semi-professional Flushfngs, of New
York city, with avictory yesterday after
noon on the Avenue A Grounds, at Ber-
gen Point. The presentation occurred in:
the fifth inning for the visitors, and the
contributing factors were five runs scored
on one single hit, three bases On balls, a
steal, q tumble by McCabe, a mis-stop by
Smith and q wild throw by Wild. The
visitors two runs in their third inning re-
suited from Cafsey being hit by the ball
and wild throws by McCabe and Smith.
The local team secured their runs through
numerous fieldfng errors and some clever
base running, with the material assist
ance of battery errors and a couple of
hits.
Both teams did poor fielding work and
neither pitcher was up to his mark, Car
sey, who twirled for the visitors, not
pitching half SO good a game as he did on
Memorial Day. The features of the game
were a phenomenal left-handed catch by
Clare Of q long drive to right field,
Smalls playing in left field and the three
double plays. But for the fact that one
man had been previously retired the local
team would have received credit for d
brilliant triple ply. In the visitors

Meeting of the West Hoboken Common
Council-Eotes. y
The West Hoboken Common Council
raped for order the town rulers were all
in their places ready for business.
The bond of Constable Deyine was re-
ferred to the Law Committee. The time
for presenting the bond has elapsed, and
there is doubt in the minds of the
Councilmen whether Deyine can be
legally allowed to quality
Some time ago the Council appointed
Bartholomew Fitzgerald one of the Com
missioners of Assessments on the outlet
sewer between West Hoboken and Jersey
City. After his appointment it was found
that he was interested In property on the
line of the improvement, and consequently
disqualified from serving.
To do AVA with that difficulty Fitz-
gerald sold Improperly in questionstoR Russ
q Heppenheimera and accepted the COM
missionership. The counsellors then re-
sold the property to Mrs. Fitzgerald as
had been previously arranged.
Fitzgerald thought by this means to cir
cumvent the law, but he failed. Last
evening Councilman Laune introduced a
resolution declaring his office vacant and
the Council acquiesced unanimously.
The repairs Of the new Town Hall are
progressing rapidly. Councilman Nolan
reported that next Wednesday evening
the Council could use the new Council
Chamber.
Frederick Wolten paid the clerk $50 for
a license a few days ago, but as he keeps
d grocery store, he is legally disqualified
from selling liquor, and so the money was
ordered to be returned.
The Commissioners of Assessment on
the main sewer of the town are about to
make the levy on the old, drainage area,
which would leave nearly $4,000 of bene-
flied real estate unassessed.
Councilman Klumpp called the atten-
ton of the Board to the matter, and the
Law Committee was instructed to take
the matter in hand and request the Com
missioners to enlarge the area.
Hill to the town have been called for, and
must be presented next Wednesday even
ing. A petition was presented to the
Council, signed by fifty prominent men OF
the town, requesting the Board to have
the new charter, granted blythe last Legis-
lature, published, and also to order a
special election to enable the citizens to
decide on its merits. The petition was
granted.
Mayor Finnegan then presented a reso-
tuition asking contributions for the relief
of suffering at Johnstown. The resoln-
ton was passed. The treasurer of the
town will receive and promptly forward
all subscriptions that may be rendered to
him.
Councilman Klumpp introduced a reso-
luton providing for the killing OF un-
muzzled dogs.

BEATING THE LAW.

The civil service commission has been in
vestigating the recent management of the
New York custom house, as regards the
conduct of the local examining board under
the operation of the civil service law. The
result of the inquiry is a report setting
forth great laXity and negligence on the
part of some of the custom house employees.
The examination had been political in char
acter and fraud had been practiced, at least
in many instances. Applicants for admis-
sion had papers written for them, the ques
tions were furnished in advance to appli-
cants for personal, political and pecuniary
considerations. Persons without political
influence who passed successful eXamina-
tions had little chance of receiving posi-
tons.
There IS nothing sensational o. unex-
pected about this discovery. What was
ascertained is only what everybody who is
familiar with the workings of the law knew
existed. The civil service statute is re
formatory only in name. 1t has cured
none of the evils, and will cure none of
them. Political influence is as potent to-
day in the matter of securing positions
under the government as it was before the
law was placed in the books. Nobody will as
sert that the civil service has been i'm
proved by reason of the law, there being
Just as much incompetency, just as much
dishonesty and Just as much politics in of
fee as when the clerkships and minor po-
sitions in the government service were
openly bestowed as rewards for partisan
labors, or apportion among Congressman
as perquisites. If the civil service com
mission thinks it can prevent the abuse
and defeat of the law the board is simply
given 10 vain imaginings as the past has
demonstrated and the future will verify.

THE HEART OF SALT LAKE.

Every citizen Of Salt Lake viii feel bet
ter this morning when he reads the account
of the proceedings at the Chamber of Com
merce last evening. Everybody will feel
proud of what has been done and proudeT
still of what win be done in this city for
the cause Of suffering humanity. 1t was a
grand idea, the suggestion of popular con
cert in the Tabernacle, and it was grace
full act on the part Of the church au-
thorities TO tenderi the use of that
immense structure for the laudable
purpose. 1t will be grand and graceful and
generous if the ten thousand tickets to the
entertainment shall be promptly sold, and
our citizens thus contribute Of their plenty
to relieve the sufferings of the victims of
the most terrible disaster which has ever
befallen az English speaking people. The
heart which contains no sympathy in this
hour, does not beat il Salt Lake, as the
soliciting committee will be convinced, and
there will be no closed purses until the
tickets for the popular concert have all
been disposed of.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-06-07
GOOD WORK.

The rush in the district court for citizen
ship papers is an excellent sign. 1t indi-
Gates that the political committees are
active; that they understand the value of
votes, and that they are doing their utmost
to bring to the polls the full strength of
their respective parties. In the past
lethargy rather than activity has been the
rule. Too much has been left to the indi-
vidual His sense of duty to his party and
to the community has been relief upon too
implicitly. with the result that a good many
individuals have failed to respond, and per
form the duty which they owe to the public.
A comparatively few faithful, public
spirited persons have done the work in the
past, the many being negligent and indifer-
ent. The little effort required has been
more than a good many have cared to put
forth. Nor have the committees been as
urgent and energetic as they might have
been. It is apparent now, however, that
ea1nestness and determination have in
spired the men TO whom has been entrusted
the duty of inducing men to pay the obliga-
tio1 they owe to the public.
Another good thing in this business is the
evidence WHICH II uLulSlitS llLdl dllCuS dLG
approaching the value Of American citizen
ship. One must entertain peculiar ideas
of himself and his conduct who lives along
year after year enjoying the benefits
and protection of the laws and the govern
ment and fully intending that this country
shall be his permanent abiding place and
the resting spot of his bones after death,
and yet does nothing to show that he is in
sympathy with the republic or its institu-
tions. If these men prefer allegiance to a
foreign ruler to citizenship in the republic,
why are they here! What did they come
for, and why don't they go back where
they can be the subjects of a king, queen
or emperor! Some say they can avoid jury
duty by remaining aliens; man is not
much of a man, we take it, who cannot
serve the state occasionally as a
juryman. Others say they like to
feel that they are under the
protection of the government under which
they were born. There should be no room
in this country for these men.
But good work is being done in the dis

THE EMPLOYEES of a street railway com
pany in Prague struck for higher wages,
and for several days the cars were not run,
no effort being made to employ new men
or make terms with the old ones. As the
charter required that cars be run over the
lines every day, the prosecutor took the
matter up and the court fined the company

but it was probably necessary in order tC
teach the corporation that the public had
rights which should be respected. A lesson
of that kind would have good effect in
America were it not for the fact that the
corporations are above the law.

Mrs. JOSEPH CARTER, of Green Bay,
Wis, is a reformer of the right stripe.
Her husband was in the habit of getting
drunk and beating his wife. She put up
with the infection for year or two, but a
few days ago patience ceased to be a virtue.
JOSEPH came home in a scottish condition,
and INDUCED in the customary amusement
of whipping his wife. Mrs. CARTER submit
ted, but when JOSEPH went to sleep she tied
his hands and feet, and whipped him nearly
to death. She whipped until he was sober
and until he had made two or three hun
bred promises to reform. Then she re
leased him, and the local paper reports that
ne has since been model husband. There
is a moral in this, which will be under
stood by wives whose husbands are in the
habit of whaling them.
