National Civil Service Reform League.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. . The National
Civil Service Reform league met this morn
ing. George William Curtis was reelected
president
Sherman Rogers read a long series of re-
solutions, which were adopted, dealing
with the treatment civil service reform is
receiving. The resolutions state that the
execution of the law is seriously endan-
gered by the appointment as heads of Of
fees, men not in sympathy with the law or
its purposes. The resolutions condemn the
President for having abdicated his power
of appointment by placing the appoint
ments at the disposal of partisan leaders,
thus enabling them to debauch constituent
cies and control the elections. The record
of the administration in regard to the rail
way mail service is severely condemned,
aud the resolutions find that the pledge of
President that fitness and not party service
should be the sole discriminating test of
appointment, is disregarded.
Resolutions introduced by Everett P.
Wheeler where adopted advocating the APP
pointment of special agent at Washing
ton and of missionaries to go about the
country with the object of establishing as
sociations and thereby disseminating the
principles of civil service reform. The
next meeting will be held in Buffalo.
Resolutions framed on the lines laid
down in Curtis's speech of last night touch
ing President Harrison in his relations to
civil service, were passed.

VERY DEEP MOURNING.
\ Negress Mourns Her White Husband and
Has Trouble Over His Fortune.

Especial to THE HEBALD-Examiner Dispatch.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 2.-Thomas G. Radwell
died on June 80 last at the age of sixty-fve
years. His will contained codicil which
was written on January 8, 1856, leaving his
entire estate, valued at $4,000, to colored
woman whom he describes as Ella F. Grab;
ness, his faithful housekeeper."
This property consists of real estate in
Brooklyn and in one of the houses men
toned in the will-namely, the Navy street
residence is where the colored beneficiary
resides. 1t was here that Mr.. RadWen died
and his brother and sisters removed his
body from the house for burial against the
protest of Mrs. Crabness, who declared
that she was the wife of the dead man
The will does not substantiate this claim,
but the dusky widow says that she has her
marriage certificate and she dresses in
black for the purpose of showing her grief
over her bereavement. She is about
thirty eight years old and intelligent and
earnest in conversation The house which
she occupies is we'll furnished. She talked
freely last evening about her second matri-
mouial venture. She said that she mar
ried Mr. Crabness, who was a white man,
III Virginia when she was girl, and that
both he and their only son are dead
Il first met Mr.. Rodwel twenty years
age. 1t was Onr Sunday when the cCugre-
cation was coming out of tue Hanson p.;src
Methodist church. They were all s;ik!ng
hands and he came up and shook hands
with me. That was when we first became
acquainted. He was big, stout, positive
man and not the sort to be influenced. He
made his will to please himself"
Mrs Rodwell, or Crabness, explained
how it happened that the first will of her
alleged husband referred to her as ''his
servant, Ella F. Crabness," and gave her
the house at IN Navy street and No. 80
Hudson avenue as a recognition of the
fourteen years of faithful service rendered
by her.
This will was made in 1884, and made
other requests to the contestants, but a
codicil disinherited all of Mr. Rodwell's
relatives. She urged that she might have
used her ''undue influence to induce Mr..
RodWell TO accomplish the same result.
She declared that she lived with him as
his wife and that he was a first class
gentleman In her eyes he was equally
courteous to rich and poor. Before he
came to live with me" she said, ''he lived
| in Hanover place. That was before the
blizzard. Then he put me in this house and
! came here to live. We were married in
! New York last December. / don't remem-
Der the date, but l know it was by Rev.
| Mr.. StrylIer. 1t was on week day. |
have the marriage certificate and that's
good enough. He was not insane, although
his brother-in-law and his people said he
was. He said / had been faithful to him
and had looked after him and he loved me.
l nursed and cared for him up to the last
day and hour of his life and I carried out
all his instructions and when he died they
came and snatched his body out from his
own home. They saw the certificate and
knew we were married.

Washington STRONGLY Republican.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-H. w. Scott, editor of
the Portland Oregonian, now in Olympia,
Washington, telegraphs as follows, in res
ponse to a request for news of the situation:
.. Washington constitution adopted by
eighteen to twenty thousand majority. The
whole Republican state ticket is elected by
eight TO ten thousand. OF 10 members of
the legislature in both houses, the Demo
Gratis have not elected more than fifteen.
The prohibition and woman suffrage
CLAUSES of the constitution are defeated.
For the state capital Olympia is largely
ahead of all competitors and may have u
Anaiority over all, though the better iudg
Tment is that another ballot will be neces-
sary to deciue it. All the principal towns,
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane Falls, Olympia,
Port Townsend and Vancouver, voted
heavily for the constitution and gave large
Republican majorities."

Massachusetts, Democrats.

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 2.-The Demo
cratic state convention was called to order
this morning The usual committees were
appointed, and Nathan Mathews, ir was
made permanent chairman. The platform
indorses the ever living principles of Dem
ocracy and platform of the last Demo
cratic national convention. 1t avows a
continued hearty support of tariff reform
whose ultimate triumph is predicted; de-
mands free raw materials and lower duties
on necessities, and continues; 1--WE believe

Socialist PARTY of the United States.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2-The Socialists national
convention had a great wrangle to day
over the platform. 1t was finally referred
back to thecommittee. The constitutional
amendment was then taken up. The execu-
tive committee is to be elected by the
Chicago committee; the New York
Shevitch faction being thus downed.
Quadrennial national conventions are pro
vided for to be held in the early spring OF
the campaign year. The name of the party
is changed TO Socialist party of the United
States,'' and its organization is to conform
to the models furnished by the great politi-
cal parties.
This evening the convention adopted
platform which demands the nationalist
ton of capital and labor-saving inventions,
and calls for the organization and direction
of industries by the state in the order of
their monopolzation; non-sufTrage with
obligatory voting by all citizens of either
sex. All laws are to be submitted to pop
ular vote.

walton for the iron industry of New Eng

walton for the iron industry of New Eng
land. 1t demands that all material for ship
building be made free of duty for the ben
eft of ship builders; it fayors continu-
ance of Whitney's policy; favors partial or
entire reciprocity and trade between the
United States and Canada; C lose CONNER
cial relations with Mexico, and condemns
the arbitrary action of the treasury depart
ment in respect to the importation OF Mex
lean ores. which has already led to retalla-
tory measures disastrous to important
American interests in Mexico. 1t
denounces election frauds; opposes the
scheme for a national election law;
condemns the administration for its mar
row partisanship and low standard of
publcsduty, standing in conspicuous con-
trast to the recent Democratic admlnlstra-
ton under President Cleveland. We con-
denim it for its surrender to the dictation
of INSCRIPTIONS political bosses such as
Malone, Quay and Pratt; for its utter
betrayal of the cause of civil service re
form; for it's perversion of the pension
machinery for distributing a national
bounty into means of influencing votes;
for it's sale of high political offices for large
contributions of money by which 1t was
placed in power and for its shame
less despotism, clearly indicative OF
its conception of public Office not as pub
pension legislation for the invalid soldiers
and sailors who fought for their country
should be just and liberal; it should be
administered in a spirit of fairness and
equity and in accordance with the laws OF
congress, but not IN the interest of greedy
CLAN agents. but not with the object of
enptying the treasury.
1--WE condemn the ruling by which this
administration in reversal of former deci-
sions has thrown open the pension list to
persons dishonorably discharged as an out
rage apon common sense and a degradation
of what should be roll of honor, and as
an insult to every true soldier"
Upon the liquor question it says: 1--WE
believe the present policy of the state in
making the sale of liquor matter of local
option to be decided by vote of the people
of each city and town works satisfactorily
and should be maintained"
On re-assembling the platform was
adopted and the ticket was completed as
follows: Hon. W. E. Russell, of Cam
bridge, nominated for governor; lieuten-
ant-governor, John w. Corcoran, of Clin-
ton; secretary of state, William M. Osgood,
of Boston; treasurer and receiver, General
E. B. Mum, of Holyoke, auditor; D. 7.

In July, August and September 1860
Original Pensions We're Issued-SOcialist
Party of the United States.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. I'm an interview to-
day, Grand Master Workman Powderly
said: 'As to the statement that tie
and they have no confidence in their execU-
officers, there is no truth in it. The order
has been growing rapidly within the last
year and the greatest cause of its growth
is the feeling that the executive board is
active in a manner conducive to the best
interests of the Knights"
J. J. Hollander, of Jacksonville, Fla,
said: 1.-The whole animus of the opposition
to Powderly originated in the process of
house cleaning whit we adopted some
time ego. Many unruly and bad elements
are beng expelled. Since that time
they have been making war on the
IN Inagement of the order, but with little
success. In the north the negroes are join
ing the order IN great numbers. There is
scarcely doubt that an alliance of some
kind will be made between the Farmers
alliance, the wheelers and the Knights of
Labor. The former organizations are par
ticularly strong in the southwest.
'As to charge of extravaganza on the
part of POwderly in regard to the south
western strike, that has been declared
groundless by the authorized assemblies of
the order time and again, and for these
men to try to say anything against his con
duct now is simply absurd
The Globe Democrat gives sensational
interview with one of the knights of Labor
who claimed at last nights meeting that his
name, among others, is attached to a docu-
ment indorsing furlough for the chief of
the secret service, was a forgery. Upon
being questioned, and with the understand
ing that his name would not be mentioned,
he said: 1.-The names were not forgeries.
When we signed them we did so with the
understanding that the recommendations
were to be filed in Washington for official
ewes only. But the committee betrayed US
While we signed them for the Presidents
eyes, we did not sign them for the public
eye" Three other Knights of Labor also
concurred in the above story.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct 2.-To-night General
Master Workman Powderly visited the
local assemblies and addressed them briefly
on matters pertaining to the good of the
order. He was accompanied by members
of the general executive board.
The anti Powderly demonstration at
Central town hall to night had small at
tendance Editor Detuiler, of Chicago, ar
ragned Powderly and the executive board
for wasting the funds Of the order, and said
that Powderly was poor general to lead
an army to victory.
W. II. Blake pictured Powderly's palace
in Philadelphia, and charged corruption all
around.

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The Convention in New York VIII be Most
Important Indeed.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-The general conven-
ton of the Protestant Episcopal church of
America opened this morning at st. George
church 1t is looked upon as one of the
most notable conventions ever held in the
church in this country from the number Of
important subjects to come up. One is
proposed change of name; another is that
of proportionate representation. There are
also eighteen resolutions proposing alterna-
tions in the book of common prayer. The
convention opened with communion service,
followed by reception of the house of the
bishops who marched in in u body. After
morning service, Bishop Whipple, of Min
nesota, preached the sermon of the day.
At the afternoon session, DR.. Morgan

journment was had until to morrow.

THE ELECTIONS.
The Republicans Have the Two Dakotas
Solid.


ST. PAUL, Oct. 2.-Returns from North
Dakota show that Miller, Republican can
didate for governor, received 5000 more
votes than Roach, Democrat. All the re-
turns yet received indicate that the vote
for Congressman drew out at least 1000
more votes, making the majority for H. Z.
marlborough for Congress 1000 or more.
The returns are sufficient to indicate that
the result has been received from twenty
six of thirty one legislative districts IN the
state. There are twenty Republican, five
Democratic and one Independent Repub-
licau Senators and forty-two Republican
and Democratic representatives. OF
the new district judges the Republicans
elected three and the Democrats three.
The election of officers and Congress
men in South Dakota cut rather
small figure, the vote being acknowledged
TO be one-sided. The contest for the loca-
ton of the capital overshadowed all else.
Later in the afternoon, the first vote came
from the Black hills region, which IS
thought to hold the balance of power, and
it was so overwhelmingly in favor of
Pierre, that it seems but right the resi-
dents of that city should continue the iolli-
ticatiou which was started this morning.

crushed like egg shells. Vessel after YES

Cardinal Gibbons Pastoral Letter On 1t
When Greek Meets Greek-ShOots His
Wife and then Suicides.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct 2.-The anti Malone
conference to-day adopted a lengthy report
declaring that Malone has deceived the
Republican national committee by false
pretenses; that his plan of organization is
hateful and tyrannical; that he has driven
from the councils of the party the best men
in it; that he has forfeited his right to the
confidence of the people of Virginia, and
that his defeat is essential to the salvation
of the Republican party. The conference
recommends no particular course to be pur-
sued by the voters on election day, except
that each shall use his individual Judge
ment.

Cardinal Gibbons Pastoral.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 2.-Cardinal Gibbons
has prepared long pastoral letter on the
celebration of the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the establishment of the Catholic
hierarchy in the United States. He dwells
on the growth of the country and
the Catholic religion. There is now
embraced within the territory of
the United States Catholic population

1,050 churches and chapels; q seminaries
exclusively devoted to candidates for the
ministry; 600 colleges and academies for
the higher education of the youth of both
sexes; 3,lOO parish schools and $50 hos
pitfalls and orphan asylums. The church,

activity and sturdy growth, which afford
well-founded hope of unlimited expansion
in the future
