A terrible accident is reported
from Braxton county, this State.

the frail boat capsized, and the
whole family were thrown out
The wife and one child Immediately

TOO INFERNAL P1ous.
Matt Quay's Opinion of MIR.
Harrison and His Admins
fr:atiOn.

New York Star.
Elk Governor warmoth, of Lou
isiana, has been in New York for
a few days, having come here direct
from Washington. While with him
down the bay on the day of the
naval parade, he told some good
stories. He is splenid talker, and
he started the coterie around him
laughing often during the day.
"While in Washington" he said,
al ran across Matt Quay, and dur
ing the course of our conversation
it occurred to me to ask Matt what
he thought of the Harrison admin
istration. Well, did SO, and this
is what the Pennsylvania replied:
"It's too internally pious-too in
formally pious. Why, they even
open oysters with prayer at the
White House"

Sinre March 4 about 2 600 changes

Sinre March 4 about2, 600 changes
in the force of 1900 have been made
in the railway mail service, and a
large proportion of all the Demo
Gratis in the service have been sup
planted. One of the last acts of the
Democratic administration was to
place the railway employees under
civil service protection, and one of
the first of President Harrison was
the suspension of the rule for sixty
lays. the excuse for such action be-
ing the pretensiOn that it was nee
essary to afford time for the restora-
ti"n of the experienced employees
who had been relieved under the
former administration. AS mat
ter of fact, but very few of the
f,rmer employees were given their
old places, the positions being
handed over to a lot of incompe-
tents who hardly know mail bag
from government army blanket.
As a result the railway mail service
has been completely demoralized
and serious complaints against it
are coming in from all over the
country. Under President Cleve-
land changes were only made when
it WAS indicated that they would be
for the good of the service, and in
consequence the highest efficiency
was secured in that department,
the dishonest bowling of the spoils
organs to the contrary.
