A Successful Experiment. I'm Long Dis
tance Writing ut New York.
NEW YORK, May Especial. This afternoon
In a little ONCE down in Dey street several
gentlemen witnessed the first successful expert
ment with long distance writing by telegraph
machine. They tried quite an extended CORE
spondence between that point and the Office in
Pittsburg. Writing by telegraph has never be-
fore been found practical at such q distance. A
writing telegraph company OF New York holds
the patents for this interesting invention,
and Harry Etheringe, an electrician,
perfected it. Letters that came from
Pittsburg were clearly forged and perfected,
and perfectly legible. One advantage OF the
system is that every message has an accurate,
unimpeachable check in the copy made at the
sending station. The company contemplates
erecting system of central exchanges, as well
as private lines.

HANOVER, N. H., Sept. 29.-Late last
night woman with veil over her face

to the house of A. H. Warden, father of
Christie Warden, murdered by Frank
Almy, and without any preliminary,
said: "I came up here to stay tonight. 1
want to zee Christie's room and sleep in
her bed. am a friend"
The family were startled, but allowed
the woman to come into the house. She
said she would explain all in the morn
ing.
Oscar Warden, brother of A. Fl. War
den, noticed that the visitor had mas
culine appearance, and suddenly he
seized her hands. After asharp struggle
the circular was removed, disclosing a
person in full male evening attire.
The intruder then declared that she
was DR.. Mary Walker. She became ex-
cited and said she had come to save An
drew Warden's life, and would make
further explanation in the morning.
The family were still suspicious, and
concluded to sit up with the woman
until morning. Oscar Warden felt so
confident that the person was man,
and had confederates about, that he and
negro stood guard all night before the
house, armed with shot guns. About
a. m. steps were heard by the outside
watchers, but the barking of dog
frightened away whoever made them.
The alleged DIR. Walker made some
attempt to identify herself by showing
two receipts for registered letters bear
ing the name of DIR. Mary Walker; some

they knew DR.. Mary Walker, srate that

The Civil Service League Severely Scores
the Administration for 1t.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 29.-The report
OF the special committee of the National
Civil Service league appointed to in
quire into the federal civil service, and
which will be read before the league
tomorrow at its meeting here, is very
extensive one. and deals wholly with
the last census. 1t quotes the civil ser.
vice refcrm plank of the last Republican
platform, and declares that if any
branch of the service should have been
kept free from party controversy it was
the census bureau. If the administra-
ton has free choice between non-politi-
cal and political agency for taking the
enumeration, and chooses the latter, COM
posed of officials OF its own political
faith, the presumption is against the
the fairness of the census so taken. The
defective results in the census,of 1870
were directly traceable to the patronage
system. The improvement produced by
the elimination of paytisanship from the
census is shown by the comparatively
satisfactory results and general conf
dence in the census of 1880. This was
before the civil service law, but the es-
sential element of the civil service sys-
tenn, the exclusion of political consider
ations in appointments, was largely
observed.
Coming down to the present census,
the report says: If the promises of the
Republican platform had any significance
at all, it meant that president would
extend the competitive system to the
clerks of the census bureau. Mr.. Har-
rison in concurring with and adopting
the platform, distinctly made this
promise his own. The well known
opinions of Mr.. Porter, who was selected
by the president as superintendent Of
the census, made it certain that an
pointments would become, in great part
