A Busy Forenoon in the Sanctum O
 Judge BradStrect.


 Pasquale Francologia, the Italian who stabbed Michael Kennedy on Union street Sunday night, this morning de- nied cutting the boy. He said Ken nedy tripped him up as he was coming down the street and that he stopped and argued with him for few minutes, but did not strike him or use weapon of any kind.

UNDER BONDS OF $6,OOO.

Ezra G. Frazier Held to Answer Be-
 fore the Superior Court.
 After the regular police court business had been disposed of this morning the court room was cleared and the case against Ezra C.. Frazier, charged with rape upon his half-cousin Hattie E. Fra zier, was heard. There were three counts in the complaint, the first charg- ing Frazier with committing the offence May 20, 1888, when the child was under thirteen years of age; the second time July 20, 1888, and the third time May 25 of this year. Frazier pleaded not guilty and was represented by Attorney Thom as Donahue.
 Hattie E. Frazier, the unfortunate victim of the inhuman monster, was the first witness. She is a large girl for her age, with a pretty and intelligent face and was neatly attired in a modest brown suit with wide brimmed hat. Her mother died two years ago and her fath- CTS whereabouts is unknown. At the time the first assault occurred she was living with Frazier's family. Frazier came home drunk one night when his wife was in New York and accomplished the childs ruin, threatening to take her life if she refused or if she breathed a word of what occurred. Two months later in the same place and almost the same manner the crime was repeated. The third and last offence was committed on May 9 last in Frazier's paint shop on Bank street. The girl had been sent with letter to Frazier by his wife and by again threatening her life the brute accomplished his purpose.
 The prisoners brother-in-law swore that Frazier acknowledged that he was the cause of the child's ruin.
 Judge Bradstreet did not wait for more evidence, but found probable cause to bind the prisoner over to the superior court under bonds of S6 ,0OO.
 The crime with which Frazier is char ged is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not less than three years, or for life

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

The question of the proper attitude of
the Executive Department toward the
existing civil service rules is likely to de
mand early consideration by the new
administration.
The Republican party is in favor of
genuine civil service reform and pro
poses to have it, but it will not feel
bound to adopt. limitations imposed upon
it for partisan purposes.
This view will doubtless have weight
when applied to the regulations recently
promulgated with reference to the rail-
way mail service. This branch of the
postal service was in high state of eff
cheney when the present administration
took charge of il, and that administra-
must have thought so, or 1t would have
brought it under the civil service system
very soon after assuming control Of 1t,
instead of at almost the last moment of
it's existence, and for the evident pur
pose of embarrassing its successors, as
shown especially by the provisions which
il adhered to, would prevent the restora.
ton TO the service by reason of the age
limit and otherwise of good clerks sep.
Grated from the service for merely par.
tisan reasons.
The service needs the experience oil
all these men whose records are good
and public sentiment will support ,
modification Of rules in order to perm
this to be done, such, for example, as b.
striking out the one year clause and re
placing it by such a provision as tina
ANY person can be reinstated by tn
recommendation of his chief"
This will allow of the restortion Of al
really good clerks and prepare the wa.
for the renewal Of thoroughly efficien
service.
The rules, as prepared and announce
by the present administration, 1t NUT
he remembered, ARE not yet in operation
and can hardly be more than nominal
so before the life Of the sdminlstratio
has ended, being only meant for the
successors, Midi and Express.

at Montpelier ca, ly last summer and on
tie Goth of October last he began his
term of imprisonment. This is the long

such an offence. He was committed on

A reporter called at the House of Cor

guilty in justice court. He was fined
five dollars and costs as provided by law.
He appealed to the next term of County
Court and being unable to furnish bail
he was committed to the all pending

stayed in Jail until the 10Th of October,
