THE SONS OF VETERANS UNITE.
A Compromise Effected Between the Rival
Camp and Post Systems.

A Compromise Effected Between the Rival
Camp and Post Systems.
CHICAGO, February 23.-The consoIida-
tion of the rival post system and camp sys-
tenn of the Sons of Veterans was completed
here to-day. 1t was done at conference
between Colonel A. L. Conger, of Ohio;
Corporal Tanner, of New York; General
Thomas Bennett, of Indiana; Colonel John
Burst, of Illinois, and Colonel George NJ.
Devlin, of Michigan, representing the
Grand Army of the Republic; George W.
Marks, Of Brooklyn, Commander in Chief
of the post system, and G. B. Abbott, of
Chicago, Commander in Chief of the camp
system. The Grand Army men acted as ar
bitrators.
In the harmonizing or compromise of the
differences between the two opposing junior
organizations, it was decided the new
body shall be known as the camp system,
shall use the traternal title "comrade," in
place of brother" and that the titles of
officers shall conform to the usage of the
Grand Army OF Republic, except that
camps may organize Grill corps, which,
when armed and equipped, may employ
strict military titles.
The other details are left to the two com.
manders in chief of the consolidating bodies.
excepting that it is provided the members
hip badge and charter OF the camp system
shall be used, ana the insignia and rank of
the post system

FAITH IN HARRISON.
Civil Service Reformers Say He is Keeper
of Promiscs-They Also Think
Cleveland Did Well Under
the Ci-cumstances.


the Circumstances.
BALTIMORE, February 23.-One of the
largest gatherings of civil service reformers
ever held met to-day in this city under the
auspices of the Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation of Maryland, whose organization
sent call for the conference in December
last. George William Curtis, President of
the National Association, sent letter of re-
gret at not being able to attend. At the
afternoon session, which was presided over
by Judge Foulk, of Indiana, resolutions
were passed expressing the confidence OF the
association in President-elect Harrison and
his professions of friendship for the princi-
plesof civil service reform.
In the evening. Mr.. Richard II. Dana,
editor of the Ciril Service Record, sought
to show by statistics that the percentage of
removals during President Cleveland's s term
of office has been greater than under any
administration since 1860, but claimed that
Mr.. Cleveland was favorable to reform, and
would live in history as one who made civil
service reform good second to party ex-
pediency. He believed that Mr.. Cleveland
saw the evils of the spoils system and tried
to avoid them, but evidently considered the
idea of civil service reformers as being too
LneoIcbicdi, anu Sdlu InaL the 1rlenQS OF re-
form would now be satisfied with the prog
ress that had been made had they not been
led to expect so much at the beginning.
Judge w. D. Foulk quoted from the
platform of the Republicans and from Mr.
Harrison's letter of acceptance. argued from
them that civil service reform would, under
the Republican administration, be extended
to all branches of public service within the
rules, and reform principles to all places not
included in the law. He claimed that the
fundamental promises of the Republican
party had become accomplished facts, and
from that record he believed that their
promise in regard to civil service reform
will be kept. In conclusion, he said: GAS
it is with the party, so it is with the Presi-
dent-elect. He is keeper of promises, and
we may feel sure that worthy men will fill
the offices and that progress will be made in
the canSn nf rofor,,,

PANAMA, February 15.-Much excite
men. was occasioned on the 11th inst.
among the canal company's employees when
it became known that the company was
about to pay off all those who ranked as
classes. or in other words, held special
privileges owing to the circumstances
under which they Joined the company, or
through their having been promoted for long
service. A general service order, signed by
Director-General Jacquier, stated that it
was only done after having perused the
statements presented by number of officers
classes to the French consul, and letter of
the consul on the subject, as also the report
presented by the Chief the Secriatariat and
the Judicial Department.
The sum appropriated for the paying off
of fthese men was S4SO,OO0, of which $780,
was paid to employees on the line of the
work, and of which M. Jacquier, Director
General, received $20,O Both the action
of the French consul in urging this extra
ordinary proceeding upon NJ. Jacquier, and
the latter's yielding thereto-more especial
ly as he is so much gamer thereby-haye
been very much criticised here.

RAILROAD. REORGANIZATION.
A New Man to Take Gould's Place In the
Missouri Pacific.

CHICAGO. February 23.-It leaked out to-day
that w. H. Newman. Third Vice President of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad. has rendered his
resignation to take effect April l. No reason is
given for Mr.. Newman's retirement but when
considered in connection with the resignation
of Second Vice President A. l. Hopkins and
the changes that are promised in the Board of
Directors, it seems to lend color to the
rumor that a complete reorganization of the
Missouri Pacific Company Is about to occur.
1t has recently been reported that s. II. Clark,
Vice President and General Manager, would
retire from the service of the company very
soon, but this is now believed to be a mistake.
On the contrary those who profess to know
something of the relations existing between
Mr.. Clark and Jay Gould venture the opinion
that the former will be made President of the
company. Gould retiring. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Newman, on his retirement from the
Missouri Pacific, intends to abandon the rail.
road business permanently.

Stove 10 Blame.
BANGOR, Me-, February 23.-A bad
wreck occurred on a branch of the Maine
Central road, near Boyd's, this morning
Mail Clerk Caleb Farmer, of Bangor, ar
rived here on the evening train from st.
Johns. He was on the mail car in the rail-
road accident and received some severe
bruises. He tells the story of the accident
as follows:
When the train reached Boyd's Mill, the
scene of the accident, he was sitting on
table in the front of the car. When the
shock came, the cars went over in heap,
rolling over several times. The train con-
sisted of engine, mail car, baggage car,
Pullman, smoker and three passenger cars.
The first five left the track, butthe other three
Kept on running upon side track.
The mail car, baggage, Pullman, and
smoker caught fire like flash, being en-
tirely consumed within 10 minutes. The
train had been running at full speed, and
misplaced switch caused the derailment
Palmer, with two other clerks, Mudgett and
Campbell, were held like wise by the tim
bers of the shattered car, the former with
part of letter rack over his legs, and Mudg-
EFT under the stove. Campbell's back was
broken. The dense smoke from the burning
cars and steam from the engine boiler hung
over the mail car.
All shouted for help. Mudgett cried to
Palmer that he was being burned, and bade
him goodby. Palmer thrust one arm up
through an opening and was seen by Con-
ductor Chase, who attempted to pull him
out, but was unable to do so. Three others
Joined him and finally succeeded in remov-
ing him in bruised condition. They were
unable to reach Mudgett and Campbell be-
fore they burned to death. Harry Good
win, fireman, was killed, and Julius Angel,
engineer, was cut severely, but none of the
passengers were hurt. The injured were
taken to Kingman, where their wants were
attended to. All cars were equipped with
Sewall heaters, but the fire caught from the
stove used in the mail car.

AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.

of Its Policy.

The New French Cabinet Makes an Outline
of Its Policy.
PARIS, February 23-The ministerial
declaration was read in the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies to-day. 1t says:
In response to the Presidents appeal we have
not hid from ourselves the difficulties of the
hour, and we are sustained by the thought that
you will not refuse to cooperate with men
presenting themselves to you determined to
accomplish the duty required by the situation.
Our great tasks will be to secure the adoption
of the budget of 1890, and to assure by broad,
tolerant and wise policy the success OF the ex-
hibition which will show in industrious and
pacific France all peoples industry and work.
We hope you will satisfactorily conclude
other important measures, such as the military
laws, the discussion of which has commenced.
We consider that the Governments principal
duty is to prepare for all Republicans, and all
Frenchmen loving order and liberty, ground
for common energetic and decisive action with
the view to defend and strengthen the rule of
peace, justice and progress, which France, in
founding the republic, desired to give itself.
The success of our policy depends upon our
frmnesss and vigilance, on which you may
rely.
While deciding to cover with our responsible
itv, officials devoted to their duties we shall
severely Judge faults and short comings. We
consider il our imperative duty to resolutely
take all the measures necessary TO maintain or
der and respect for the Republic, by
counteracting. or, if necessary repressing fac
tional enterprises.

Wesleyan FacuIty-The Parties ImpIi-
catea hay Be Arrested-Two
Men Confess.
NEW HAVEN, February. .23.-President
Van Week, with Profs. Wilson, Crawford
and Conn, the committee appointed by the
Wesleyan faculty to investigate the recent
dynamite explosions, have after hard
days work succeeded in getting at the
bottom facts The hearing was secret and
each member of the freshman class was
called in and subjected to a severe examina-
tion. 1t is learned that two of the men con-
fessed, duplicating six OF eight others. The
faculty refuses so give out any information.
From other sources it is learned that the
men who confessed are W. H. Hall and
Robert F. Smith. The names of the others
are H. S. Rooksby, Nelson G. Hubbard, G.
II. Pierse, w. NJ. Douglas, r. M. Grant, F.
j. Lamblyn and H. P. Queal. 1t seems that
the party had planned to usher in Washing
toms Birthday by firing salute with a can
non. and afterward to return to the college
ground and throw the bombs into the entries
of the various dormitories. One bomb was
given to Rooksby to explode in Observatory
Hall, another to Smith to explode in North
College, while third was sent to Hubbard,
the man injured.
1t seems that Hubbard, wishing to back
out of the scheme, invited several upper
class men to spend the evening with him,
and that after they left his room bomb was
handed to him, with instructions to explode
it when he heard the reports OF the others.
1t is supposed that he became excited, and
in some way the bomb exploded in his hand
before he could throw it.
President Van Week has conferred with
States Attorney Elmer with reference to q
criminal prosecution Of everyone implicated
in the affair. Should Hubbard's injuries
prove fatal it will undoubtedly be avery
serious matter for the young rioters. 1t was
also developed that the dynamite was OBJ
tanned in New York City from the father of
one of the young men implicated. 1t was
sent to Middletown by express, three of
them being used and three others hid for
future use.

Secrets of the Anarchists.

CHICAGO, February 23.-Louis W. II.
Neebe returned from Joliet to-day, where
he went to call on his brother Oscar, the
Anarchist. Prior to going, Mr.. Neebe had
a talk with Judge Gary, who presided at
tho Anarchist trial, on the subject of petit
ton for the prisoners pardon.
He was told that when Oscar had made
him full statement regarding the forma-
ton, workings and plans of the .Anarchistic
groups, including the Lehr and Wehr
Verein, how he became marshal of an
armed body marching on the Board of
Trade; how he lost or injured his fingers in
experiments with dynamite; what steps he
and others took in the consummation
of their proposed social revolu.
tons; when be exposed all the
plans and schemes of the defense
during the progress of the trial, and then
expressed regret and contrition, then the
Judge would be in position to say what be
would do on the question of signing petit
ton for pardon.
A statement of the requirements was laid
before Oscar, and he agreed to fulfill them.
The prison authorities have furnished him
pen, ink and paper or this purpose, and
the statement is probably being written
now.

rsrrcrAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1spArcH.i

rspEcrAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
HARRISBURG, February 23.-In its rea-
sons for recommending the extension of
Executive clemency to William Mcclure
and Frank Freyvogle, the Board of Pardons
says that up to the time they were con-
victed of keeping a gambling house
they were alleged to have been
men of good character, which proposition
seems 20 be amply sustained by endorsement
of the best citizens" Mention is also
made of the fact that when the Department
of Public Safety in Pittsburg, notified all
gamblers to close their places, the defend
ants were out of the business in which they
had been engaged.
After quoting the language of the attor-
ney for the prisoners, in which he says the
court committed the grevious error of i'm
posing double sentence, the Board says:
Whether this proposition of counsel be well
grounded or not, circumstances connected with
the case appear upon the record which would
seem to justify the exercise of unusual Sc
verify in imposing the sentence upon these de-
tendants. No prosecutions were attempted in
other cases of precisely like character, the city
authorizes being content with the closing of
these disreputable houses. A compliance with
the order to close, absolved people of
this character from further interference
by the authorities. When prosecuted the de-
PENDANTS were not conducting a gambling
house, but had quietly complied with the order
of the Department of Public Safety. Under
all the circumstances, therefore, and consider
ing that these defendants were among the best
in character among men of that class, the
question presents 'tself: Have they not been
sufficiently punished. they having already
served about six months of the sentence i'm
posed on them?
The reasons close thus:
The board therefore being convinced that the
punishment already suffered by the defendants
is sufficient under all the facts in the case and
believing that the best sentiment of Pittsburg
is very largely in favor of the exercise of elem.
ency. and failing to observe any evidence ap-
plying TO these defendants that did not apply
with equal force to others who received a
sentence of only few days-or at most very
few months-haye decided to recommend them
for the exercise of executive clemency.

FORTUNE FAVORS THEM.
The Pardoned Gamblers Equity Case, and
Their Release.

The Pardoned Gnmblers' Equity Case, and
Their Release.
Henry A. Davis, Esq, master in the
equity suit of c. g. Dixon against Frey
vogle and Mcclure, to recover for large sums
gambled away by Dixon's bookkeeper,
Quinn, at their faro bank, filed his official
report with the Prothonotary yesterday, dis
missing the exceptions of counsel for plain
tiff. They had failed to argue for or SUBJ
stantiate their exceptions to his finding
within the time specified. and so he over.
ruled the exceptions. This leaves his find
ing and report for the defendants, subject
only to the approval of the Court.
1t had been expected that Freyvogle and
Mcclure, who had been serving workhouse
term of year COR gambling (independent of
this equity case) would be released yester-
day upon their recently granted pardon.
But Governor Beaver did not get back from
Washington to Harrisburg until last night.
and so the official order for their release
can't arrive before tomorrow.

desired to maintain her military strength it
would be necessary to increase the War
Budget by 40, ,OOo, 600 francs. If the country
were unable to bear the expense it would be
better to be content with ten army corps in
stead of II, and to effect better organiza-
ton.
The speech caused sensation, It is be-
lieved in parliamentary circles that the op-
ponents OF. Prime Minister Crispi will ad-

They Fail of Conviction Before an Alder
man, but Fall Out.
John Schott and Elizabeth Ackerman,
who have figured SO prominently in the
Southside elopement case, appeared before
Alderman Hartman last evening for hear
ing on a charge preferred against them by
Henry Ackerman. The evidence was not
sufficient to hold the defendants, and Alder
man Hartman dismissed the case.
Mrs. Schott went home with her husband,
but Mrs. Ackerman refused to go home with
Mr.. Ackerman. The case against Mrs.
Ackerman for surety of the peace on oath
of Mrs. Schott was compromised.
Dora Graf, Mrs. Ackerman's sister, has
made an information before Alderman Tate
charging Mrs. Schott and Minnie Moore,
Mr.. Ackerman's sister. with disorderly con-
duet, alleging that, after the first suit was
instituted. the defendants went to her house
and raised a disturbance and abused her.
A hearing will be held on Tuesday.
