NEwBURG, N. Y, January 20.-This
morning man stopped his horse at
Parsons shoe store on w ater street, tied
the animal to an awning post and went
away for few minutes. Later the
horse touched its nose to the iron post
and fell into the gutter like a log.
Thomas Dawson ran to help the horse,
but no sooner did he place his hands on
the animal tkan he (Dawson) fell dead.
Thomas Saltz, who saw Dawson fall,
hastened to his assistance and took hold
OF him to lift him up, but received ter
rible shock and he, too, dropped to the
ground as if dead. He subsequently re
covered, as did the horse. An arc elec-
tric light wire had sagged and lay upon
an iron rod extending from the awning
post to the building, and the full force
OF the electric current was passing down
the iron post to the ground. The insu.
lating material of the wire had become
thoroughly saturated by rain. The body
OF Dawson was carried into the store and
laid upon the floor where it still lies
awaiting the action of the Coroner.

TO REFORM A REFORM.
A Bill to Reform the civil Service
Reform Law.

A Bill to Reform the OWL Service
Reform Law.
WASHINGTON, January 2O.-The House
Committee on Reform in the Civil Ser
vice met today to hear argument on the
resolution introduced recently by Repre-
sentative Ewart to investigate the charges
against the Civil Service Commission,
and will introduce bill by Representa-
tive Houck, of Tennessee, to repeal the
Civil Service law and regulate and inn
prove, classify and properly apportion
the officers and employees in the public
service to the States and Territories.
Mr. Ewart spoke briefly, reciting the
charges which prompted his resolution.
The charges in substance are that one
Campbell, brother-in-law of Commits
sloner Lyman, gave prepared examina-
tlon papers to person in charge of an
institution in Washington, which pre-
pared applicants for examination; that
Lyman knowing about the facts, pro-
noted said Campbell; that the clerks
were appointed without any examination
whatever; that the law had been utterly
disregarded in other particulars.
Houck advocated his bill to repeal the
law and improve the service by new
methods of appointment.
Frank Hstton, editor of the Washing
ton Post, said the charges had been pub
lished because he believed them to be
true and could be substantiated.

reter Murray Passes HIS Examina-
zion at West Point.
Two years or more ago a class was ex-
amined in this city for the purpose oi
selecting an appointee to West Poiut.
Among those appearing was a young
man named Peter Murray. He was the
lucky member and got the appointment.
he was in all respects as fine q specimen
OF humanity as could be found. He was
finely developed and as sound as bell.
A DAY or two ago DR.. Cochran, who wae
one OF the examiners, received from
Murray the following letter, which shows
the boy is as sound in mind as in body

MY DEAR FRIEND-We have lust fin.
ished our examination and am pleased
to say that I got through all right again.
l came out 81 in engineering, 81 in ord.
nance and gunnery, 49 in history and 81
in law, there being 81 in the class.
Unless something unexpected happens

We are having California weather,
something very unusual for this time OF
the year, and have all just recovered
from "la grippe" We had no fatal
cases, however. With kindest regards
to everyone / am, as ever, your obedient
servant, PETER MURRAY.
The second year is the one that tries

examined. His education was largely

The Senate.


WASHINGTON, January 20.-Among the
petitions presented and referred in the
Senate, today, we're the following from
the American Federation Of Labor: In
favor of the Blair educational bill in
favor of service pensions to all sur
viving soldiers of the late war; for the
pensions; for free coinage Of silver; for
and other farm products.
Among the bills reported from commit
tees and placed on the calendar were the
following: To provide for the admission
of the State of Wyoming into the Union !;
to provide temporary government for
the Territory of Oklahoma.
paragraph in the Presidents message
was to be made to seize the electoral
machinery of the States. The power Of
the General Government over State
elections had been sparingly exercised
in the past. There had been no political
campaign with plank in the platform OF
either party, claiming the right to ex-
ercise control over elections in the
States. The message of the President,
he said, had contained no syllable in
favor of free and honest elections, ex.
cept as to the suppression of the votes
of the colored people at the South.
There was no evidence before the
country of any such suppression. He
presented some election statistics oi
different sections, to prove that the silent
voter is increasing. in every section oi
the country.
OL.-l1 - ao;J <bo,o xroo ova o;fi1op of
Florida who might be termed "silent
voter" that man was John Burr, col
ored citizen of Madison county, Florida,
who in October last, having been at
Jacksonville as a witness concerning po'
litical outrages, was killed on his return
to Madison county by the Democrats OF
that county on account of the testimony
he had given. He also reminded Pasco
of other political murders and outrages
in Florida.
Pasco expressed the belief that the
elections in Florida, ever since the mem
orable one of 1876, were as fair, peaceful
and quiet as in New England. It was
not surprising that there were some
Irregularities there, because Senator
Chandler had been one of the principal
agents in the Florida election fraud in
1876, and the decentralization resulting
from that had not entirely disappeared.
The allusion to his course in Florida
in 1875 was taken up by Chandler, who
denied the charge that he had then
approached the Chairman of the State
Canvassing Board, and had promised
that if the State was canvassed fol
Hayes, the majority Of the returning
board would be taken care of.
Ingalls, will not speak upon this
subject tomorrow, but will address the
Senate on the Butler bill Thursday
afternoon.
After executive session the Senate
adjourned.

AUSTIN, New, January 20.-Austin and
vicinity have been visited by more snow
than ever known before. Over five feet

two mines are shut down because of it.
Ranchers feel respondent, as half of the

have caved in from the weight of the
snow. Sledges are run on all the INLAND
