HARRINGTON, Nov. o The scandal that
has deeply stirred all elements Of society
in this section OF Sussex county, which
was based on charges of immortality
against this Rev. G. b. Gruber, who has
ministerei to the flocks of the Methodist
Protestant churches OF this town and the
village OF Greenwood, has eliminated in
the departure of the accused pastor. He
left this town on the north bound train
at 2 Is O'Clock, this morning. To-day it
was learned that he had gone to Balti-
more, whence he is said to have come to
this town. 1t was also learned this even
ing that he had engaged q box freight car
for the transportation of his household
goods to the city of monuments and will
take his wife and two infant sons to that
city within few days.
The disappearance of the pastor was a
surprise 20 the community because he
had defiantly said that he would ssay here
and live down thu odium of the charges
against him. This declaration was made
in reply to the advice of the deacons or
directors of the churches in Greenwood
and Harrington, OF which he WAS pastor.

Rules Until June 80.

1t May Not BE Placed Under Civil-Seryice
Rules Until June 80.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. 7.-Attorney-genera
Miller broadly intimated, to-day, that it
was very probable that President Harrison
recognized the necessity of extending the
time when the civil-service laws shall cover
the railway mail service. He said that the
service was undoubtedly in great disorder,
and until it was placed upon a new and eff
cient basis those in charge of it should not
be hampered with law which would keep
in the service incompetent men, and keep
out those who would be efficient, but who
could not pass q civll-service examina-
ton. 1t is probable that. in
stead of the law going into
effect on the 18th inst, as directed by Pres
ident Cleveland's proclamation, it will not
take effect until the end of the present
fiscal year, June 80.
A delegation called upon Postmaster-gen-
eral Wanamaker to-day and presented the
name of Gen. Paul Vandervoort of Nebras-
ka. for the position of chief OF the railway
mail service, and during the talk which
is soon to be selected, and the organization
of the service begun at once so that the
cramped condition of mail TRANSPORTATION
may be remedied at the earliest day possi-
BILE.
Postmaster-general Wanamaker also rec
ognized the necessity of extending the time
for the taking effect of the ciyil-service
rules and the question is to be discussed at
the next regular Cabinet meeting.

Stacks Of Applications for Office Supple
mented by would-Be speech-Makers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March Livery hour or
two during all of to-day q messenger en-
tered Private Secretary Halford's room,
and, throwing his long arms around a great
pile of applications for office, lugged them
into an adjoining room, where they were
piled upon a desk for classification and
pigeon-holing. Several bundles of these
papers were received between and 6
o'clock. The stream of Office-seekers was
continuous from the moment the outer
doors were opened until they were closed.
Besides the flood of written applications
delivered to the private secretary, he
is the recipient of large num-
ber of oral and written speeches
every day. 1t is very common for one or
two men to approach him, and, after plac-
ing in his hands an application for an of
flee, to address him in the most formal and
serious way. This morning a duet of col
ored citizens entered Mr.. Halford's room,
tiOn for q position, began to deliver a
speech. Halford permitted them to pro-
ceed for some minutes, when, believing the
address was almost interminable, he stated
tnat IL Woulu not De necessary 1Or tnem
to give him further information respecting
the merits of the applicant, and
the address was terminated. The speaker.
however. put his hand in his inside pocket
and produced inmanuscript form the speech
he was delivering, and, after placing it in
the private secretary's hands, departed,
seemingly well satisfied.
The two broad tables occupied by the
Presidents stenographers were completely
covered with letters fresh from Office-seek-
ing constituents, and the work of classify
ing applications has been thoroughly be-
gun. The announcement made in these
dispatches the other day, to the effect that
only officers of the higher classes connected
with executive departments would be Sc
lected during the coming week or two has
had the effect of checking the enormous in
flow of applications, but there are enough
of them yet to occupy the attention of
several Presidents and a large corps of
clerks

Fight with Kentucky Desperadoes.

ST. LOUIS, March 7.-Advices from East
Tennessee say a party of mountain desper-
ADDE'S, headed by the notorious Clabe Wat
son, Lee Watson, Bill Turner and Judson
Bell. attacked the camps of Hays 81 Rivenac,
railroad contractors, at work near Cum
berland Gap. The ruffians were drunk and
armed with Winchester rifles and large
Colts revolvers. They first Overran' the
commisary department and ate or des-
troyed all the provisions. They then went
to the shanties and cabins occupied by the
negro laborers and beat several of them
nearly to death. By this time Hays x
Rivenac had gathered a number of their
men together and opened fire on the des-
peradoes, and n pitched battle took place,
in which Judson Bell and Lee Watson were
mortally wounded and the remainder of
The gang driven away. The next day the
railroaders, with officers Ingraham and
Gavin. raided Yellow creek and captured
the desperate outlaw Andy Watson, who
has terroriZed Bell county for years. He
was taken to Pineville Jail. There are
several indictments for murder against
him. The railroad men have thoroughly
armed themselves, and say if the Kentucky
authorities will back them up they will rid
the Yellow creek region of all the villainous
outlaws that have overrun il.
