His Hill To the House at Once.
WASHINGTON, March el.-Representa-
five Andrew of Boston has completed his
report upon his bill "to exclude political
influence in the employment OF laborers
under the authority Of the United States"
and will submit IL TO the house today. The
bill will affect sSme $1,000 employees in
various departments. and will CO u:,e that
henceforth they shall be appointed or en-
ploycd without regard to political consid-
erations. The report states that the only
purpose Of the bill Is to compel appoint
ment of properly qualified men in the
order of their applications. The bill does
not require competitive examination of
laborers, nor subject them To any schol-
astic test. The framing Of the rules by
which they are to be appointed or
employed is left to the discretion Of the
civil service commission, but 1t Is intended
that these rules shall simply provide for
proper evidence of the physical fitness aud
the good character OF applicants. All
that is to be required beyond this Is the
registration of applicants in the order of
their applications. The labor imposed
upon appointing officers under the new
system ought 10 be even less than at pres
ent. The bill permits the civil service
commission, with the approval OF the
president. to provide simple test for tech
nical skill where IL Is acquired. The COM
mission is also authorized to permit en-
ployment without any system Of registra-
tion aud mt the discretion OF the employing
officers where the exigencies Of the service
seem to require IT,

child in his arms and fell. The child
was carried away by the current and
drowned. The body was recovered this

were lost so far as heard from.
The barn of George Thompson, in
Dunnstable township, was struck by
lightning and burned with contents, in
Guiding two horses. The house of John

the mouth of Chathams' run was washed

this afternoon a man known as PRO
fessor" Emil Welsh, entered the hair
dressing establishment of Miss Maggie
Buttress, on Beaver avenue, Allegheny,

to his own breast and fired. Both died
instantly.
1t is said that Welsh was married and
had a wife and family living in Balti-
more. Miss Buttress was 20 years of

Jarrett Attacked.

One OF the delegates of the Amalga-
mated Association who were in confer
ence with the Pittsburg manufacturers
last week in regard to the change in the
scale of wages, gave John Jarrett severe
roasting. Mr.. Jarrett, it Is said, told
the committee how low the wages of the
English iron workers were and yet how
he managed to live nicely on them.
He then went on TO show how nicely the
American iron worker could stand
slight reductiOn-say from 20 to 10 per
cent.-and yet live comfortably.
In response to an inquiry from the
delegate, Mr. Jarrett said he proposed to
90 on the stump for the national Repub-
lican ticket this year. The delegate then
informed him that, though a Repu bli-
can, he would use every effort to have
his friends vote the Democratic ticket
with him so as to prevent them from be-
ing further duped by jarrett and his
friends, the manufacturers.

4 Reservoir that may Break.

POTTsvILLE, Pa, June 21.-Word has
been received here that the Pottsville
water cOmpany's big reservoir, located
on the mountain southwest of Frack-
vile, has started to leak, and in order to
prevent a catastrophe to thepeople likely
to be affected should the dam break,
kilograms and messengers have been dis
patched along the valley between the dam
and Pottsville to notify the residents of
New Castle, st. Clair, Port Carbon and
Palo Alto of the condition of affairs, and
suggesting to them to be prepared
to take to the hills on an instant's notice.
Hundreds of inhabitants OF these towns
have in accordance to this notice, aban-
dOned their homes and properties and
taken to the hills. Others are arranging
their household goods and valuables and
still others are getting in readiness to re-
move their goods on an instant notice.
Telegraph operators along the line near
the dam are prepared to sound the warn
ing instantly and give notice of approach
ing danger.

er Mollinger's will has not been found
and further search for ii has been aban-

to the nearest relatives. The state of
Pennsylvania will get five per cent. OF
the whole amount. The balance will

far as Attorneys Mueller and Hartie
have been able to learn the relatives who
are entitled to the estate are a brother, a
sister and a sister-in-law, whose husband
Is dead and the children of the widow
All the heirs live in Europe. The only
positive knowledge that will ever ex-
listed was one made by Mr.. Fetterman
twenty years ago. This was undoubted-

estate has been greatly exaggerated and
that it viii not exceed 5000, 600.

The crop of straw Will be considerably
below that of last year, but up to the
average of the last ten or twelve years.
The backward and the wet spring has
seriously affected the corn and the farm
ers will loose $50, 900 bushels. Oats has
also suffered from wet weather and cold

THE iron workers Of the country, says
the Pittsburg Post, have had a powerful
object lesson in the way of a demonstra-
ton Of the fact that the wages they get
is not due to the high tariff policy of the
Republican party, but to their own or
ganazition. The Mckinley bill raised
the average Of the so-called protective
tariff from IS to 60 per cent, yet the
iron workers have been asked to accept
a reduction Of wages ranging from 90 to
60 per cent. As one Of the benificent
results of high tariff how is this for
high? 1t is a poor rule that won't work
both ways, and it is also poor tariff
that won't protect the employed as well
as the employer. Why should working
men vote to upholda protective policy
that does not protect them?
