STRUCK HIM ON THE HEAD.
A Row In the Once Of the Collector of
Taxes-Mr. Daniels Is Sorry.

The commissioners in board session this
morning investigated the charges of ungentle-
manly conduct made by Mr.. Hopewell Dar-
nellie, audit clerk Of the auditors Office against
Mr.. John W. Daniels, cashier in the collector
of taxes Offices. 1t appears that last We'd
nesday Mr.. Darnsille, acting under orders
from the auditor, called on Mr.. Daniels for the
satchel in which it is customary to convey the
money from the Treasury to the District build
ings for the payment of the laborers under the
employ of the District. Mr.. Daniels was
busy when Mr.. Darneille called for
the satchel, and feeling sore over the
interruption exclaimed: "You-p puppy, don't
you come in here interrrupting me-" Mr.. Dar-
nellie expostulated and called attention to the
fact that he was gentleman and wished to be
treated as such, whereupon Mr.. Daniels made a
jump for him striking him on the head.
He didn't follow him up, however, as the wire
partition which separates his desk from
that OF the Office proper interferred. Mr..
Darneille at 0nce reported the
matter to the Commissioners, who
called on Mr.. Daniels this morning for an ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct. Mr.. Daniels claimed
that he was impetuous and said he was sorry
the thing had occurred. The Commissioners
warned him not to repeat the offense.

Special Telegram to THE EVENING STAR.
srAuNroN, Va, Oct 12.-Arrangementsh have
been perfected for grand political rallies by
both parties here Monday. Gen. Malone and
Congressman l. c. Houk of Tennessee will
speak for the republicans, and the appointment
having been extensively advertised a very
large turnout is expected.
The democrats will also be strongly repre-
sented by ex-District Attorney of the United
States Court II. e. Allen and Congressman
John A. Buchanan. Ex-senator II. d. Riddle
berger has offered to address the democratic
meeting and the offer has been accepted, and q
lively time is anticipated Special trains will
be run for that day and the indica-
tions are that many people from
distant towns and counties will be
present. This is the home of ex-Congressmau
fost who, with his father. an ex-postmaster,
both republicans. is making a vigorous fgh,
against Malone. Hence the general is ex-
pected to make an extraordinary effort.

CITY POST OFFICE PROBLEM.
The Commission to Consider 1t Favor
the Erection of New Building.

The city post Office commission has not held
a meeting since early in the summer. There
is really nothing for them to do They have
not been altogether satisfied with the buildings
offered for the use of the city post
Office, and are doubtful whether a
change of buildings will be of much advan-
tage to the service. In the opinion of the
members of the commission the only solution
of the question is for Congress to make an ap-
preparation to erect building in this city for
the special use of the city post office The
building now occupied by the office is held
under rather peculiar circumstances as no rent
has been paid for about year and half.
The question of the amount of rent due to the
owners is now before the Court of Claims
and when decision is reached it will prob
ably form a basis for determining the amount
of rent to be paid in the future
The commission will make report on the
subject o. the postal needs of the city for pre-
sentation to Congress. Postmaster General
Wanamaker has expressed his warm interest in
securing proper postal facilities for this city
aud will no doubt discuss the subject of a
Washington post office in his annual report.
Owing to the resignation of Commissioner of
Pensions Tanner there is now a vacancy in the
commission, which however, will be filled
when Mr. Tanners successor is appointed.
The chairman of the commission. Gen. Clark
son, has been absent from the city for some
time, bat Is expected back ON Tuesday next

CIVIL SERVICE QUESTIONS.
It Is Said That Those Given Out Wer
Obsolete and Of No Use to Candidates.

Beyond the very general statement that no
current questions-none that could be Of any
service to any one-have been given out by
any one the civil service commissioners will
not make public reply to the charges that
have been made in the press They
are satisfied with the strength Of their position,
and they prefer that their statements should be
made under oath before the proper tribunal
What their answer to the charges will be is, Of
course, known, but they do not want it to stand
upon the simple word of any one.
That Mr.. Campbell gave out list Of ques-
tions to some lady who wanted to know some
thing of the scope of the examinations is not
denied He gave out a list Of questions, but
they propose to show by statements under oath
that these
QUESTIONS HAD ALREADY BEEN USED;
that they were not to be used again at any time;
that having them would give no one an advant-
age over others in examination; that they were
similar to and of no more value to a candidate
Tor examination than the sample questions
given to the public in the annual report Of the
commission. The sample questions are put in
the reports to give an idea Of the scope OF the
examinations
These questions we're, it is asserted given out
for the same purpose and could be of no more
value 10 the recipient than would have been q
Printeo copy OF the puDnc report.
THE ONLY OBJECTION
the commission can have to giving the public
free access to these old questions is that il
would involve the commission in a good deal Of
annoyance and extra work and do no one any
good. The specimens given IN the reports give
as much information as could be had from any
obsolete questions.
Questions are not used the second time il is
stated, because those persons who have been
examined may remember them and give them
out. New questions must be used for each ex-
animation. The only exception to this is
that when examinations are held in places
remote from each other-say in Washington,
New Orleans, Chicago and Boston, within day
or two of each other, the same ques-
tions might be used at each place.
Being used they then became dead questions.
The only wrong in Mr.. Campbell or any one
else giving them out would, it is said, be that
involved in a mere breach of Office discipline.

4 Plot to Pack the Jury.
The noon edition Of the Mol says that plot
to pack the jury in the Cronin case has been
discovered and several men are under arrest.
They will be brought before Judge Mcconnell
this afternoon.
Rumor around the criminal court building
this morning had il that among the accused are
two deputy sheriffs. Neither of the men al
luded to are Clan-na-Cael men nor even Irish
men. Neither have they summoned any
venires IN the Cronin case, aud
their possible connection with any at
tempted jury packing remains a mystery.
The two suspected bailiffs aud three men one
of whom was to have been gotten ON the Jury
for the purpose Of hanging it, were kept at
South Side hotel all night by detectives
and will be in court at 1 O'Clock.
Judge Longenecker this morning states that
there is no truth in the report that the records
in the Cronin case have been stolen

arrest for packing the Cronin jury.
