An eligible list is no longer a momentous
.ecret. The recent investigations of the Civil
Service Commissioners in this city convinced
them that, while there would be objections to
disclosing the names Of persons who had passed
the examinations, they would be more than
offset by the advantages that would result from
publication. At any rate a list of candidates
for inspectors, clerks and night inspectors at
the Custom House was given out yesterday.
There can now be no repetition of such prac
ices as prevailed under the late Administra-
hon, when man who received a high rating
never got an appointment, and could never
even lean whether he had passed at all.

The saloonkeepers Of Cincinnati have boldly
determined to set the laws at defiance and keep
their places of business open tomorrow This
action was taken at a mass meeting, which
likewise resolved to punish any one of the
kauor-sellers who closes his front door and
keeps only side or rear entrance open. An
opportunity is here presented for fair and
sornre contest between the forces of law and
order and the men who propose to set up law
for themselves. The Mayor of the city takes
a complacent view of the situation, and says
that no new instructions will be given TO the
notice. Certainly this is not time for in
difference or hesitation. The good name OF
Cincinnati and the well-being Of society are
NJ stake. IL the Cincinnati liquor-deaers can
DO as they please, there might as well be an
end Of all pretence OF enforcing the laws there
The temper of the House of Commons on the

Loss Reaches Into the Millions.
Th4 entire business portion of Spokane
Falls. Washington Territory, with the ex-
ception of one mill was detroyed by fire on
the night of Aug. 4. The loss will reach
S,00O,O00. The fire started in a lodging
house on Railway avenue. A large num-
Der Of frame buildings and several grain
elevators were near the lodging house, and
soon after the fire broke out they were
ablaZe. A strong wind was blowing
toward the city at the time, and the blaze
was soon beyond the control of the tiremen.
The flames leaped from street TO street,
and nothing could be done but let tho
flames have their own way until they
reached the river and then endeavOr TO
prevent the fire from reaching the build
ings on the opposite side. The flames
swept through the city and one business
BLOCK after another was consumed, every
thing being burned TO the waters edge.
The fire department was stationed on the
other side OF the stream and prevented fly
ing timbers from setting fire To The build
ing there. Only few dwellings were des-
trOyed as the residence portion Of the city
was not visited by the fire.
The burnt district includes all that part
of the city from the Northern Pacific raj
way 10 the river and from Lincoln TO
Washington streets.

The fire spread with such astonishing

danger. A dozen large buildings were
blown up with giant powder, by order of

A Free Man.

Four years ago Charles Rynd of Adrian,
son OF the well-known DR.. Rynd, was
charged with stealing letter from the
United States mail. Rynd was arrested
and convicted of the charge upon an infor
nation filed by Mr.. Cutcheon, who was at
that time district-attorney. He was sen
fenced to three years in the Detroit house
of correction. Rynd was scarcely II years
old at the time and had shortly before this
unfortunate occurrence married most es-
Unable young lady of Adrian.
He was taken TO the Detroit house of cor
rection, where he served nearly one year.
Then he applied TO the court for his dis
charge on the ground that he was entitled
10 an indictment by grand jury before he
could be tried, according TO recent ruling
of the United States supreme court. Dis
trict Attorney Black was the incumbent at
that time. kynd case was argued before
Judge Brown who held that the point was
well taken and thereupon discharged Rynd.
District Attorney Black thereupon re ar
rested kynd and had him indicted in ac
cord nee with the ruling Of the supreme
court. But instead of trying him on the in
dictment, the District Attorney released
&ynd on condition that he would give a
bond to appear and receive sentence when
re luested To do so. The bond was furnish
ed and Rynd was rc!ca ed. The District
Attorney pursued this course in order TO
deter United States prisoners in the house
of correction from making application for
their discharge upon similar grounds.
Sentence has been suspended over Rynd's
head Tor three years past In the meantime
his career was closely watched. 1t was
found that he had thoroughly reformed and
had become a most exemplary citizen, and
he has been given his absolute freedom.
