Mr.. kearns sig1zlized his entry into Of

revenue service for Is years, who filed the
place as chief deputy under Collectors Nil
Ter, Warmc&stle and Bigler, and who was
acting collector between the dismissal Of
Mr.. WarmcSsile by President Harrison and
disappointment Of NJ. Miller. The other
important change was the dismissal Of Dep
uiy Collector P a Johns, OF the Fayeite
Somerset district The authority Of Deputy
Collector Keefsr. Of the Wesimorelsnd dis
trict, has been temporarily extended over
Fayette and Somerset counties. Mr.. Johns
recently received q vindication in the Uni
ted States court from the charges that had
been brought against him but the political
jszlOusies responsible for the charges, though
Republican, made strong enough representa-
