Fifteen Applicants Appear Before secre-
tary DoyIe and the Local Board.

Secretary J. 7. Doyle. of the United
States Civil-Servlce Commission, assisted
by Messrs. Wray T. Knight. NJ. Ct. Carter.
and A. w. Bunnett, superintendent OF
mails in the Richmond post-office, who
constitute the local board, held special
examination yesterday morning IN Room
No. 4 at the custom-house for applicants
for positions in the railway-mall service.
For these positions there were fitteen ap-
plcants-eleven white and four colored.
ON PRACTICAL STUDIES.
They were examined upon the rudimen-
tary studies, such as geography, arithmetic;
&C., and in addition TO this were required
To read in ten minutes fifty addresses writ
ten in as many different hands. This prac-
tical test was given in order to see If they
were fully able to read all styles OF manu-
script.
Six hours was the time allowed for the
answering of the various questions. but
many of the applicants finished several
hours before that time. The questions
upon which the applicants were examined
we're sent from Washington, sealed, and
the answers were also sent there.
LIMITED TO MAIL CLERKS.
The examination yesterday was limit
ed"-that is to say, il was only Tor those
persons desiring TO obtain positions IN the
mail service.
The salary for these positions Is about
$500 for the first year. Each State is al;
lowed to furnish certain quota TO fill
these positions. and as the applicants from
Virginia were not sufficient TO fill the

was held.

appointed to carry out the requirements ol

wasting the water. They will not heed.
What is the remedy? Employ force sufii-
cient TO inspect the hydrants daily, or at
irregular times weekly. and enforce the
law. II this is not done. and it will not be
done, then the last resort Is the water
meter. The cost OF water-meters will be
$s5. 900. 1t is more economical to spend
$s5, 900 for ater-meters than to enlarge
the works, 40 that more water may be
wasted at an expense OF 500. 900. Atlanta
and Providence use water-meters, and all
the consumer wastes he has to pay for.
The consequence is that Atlanta and Provi.
dence give everybody full supply. and
save more than half the water that would
otherwise be required. Richmond Will
have to do the same.
Others Speak.
Mr.. Boiling, Superintendent of the City
Water Works, and Mr.. White, member OF
the Water Committee of the Council were
present and on invitation addressed the
Academy in very instructive and inter-
estiDg manner. Drs. Wellford. Upshur,
Gordon. James. Taylor, and others partici-
pated in the discussion of Mr.. Blair's pa
per. Filters were advised for clearing the
water for drinking and culinary purposes:
Five grains of alum will clear gallon OF
James-river water. This is harmless mix
ture. James-river water will not settle for
months perfectly without the aid Of alum.
1t is sweet after standing six or eight
months. This ia remarkable tact, and II
is not true of rain-water, so far as is known.
