had been to Beltsville to vote, and was the
first man to cast his ballot in Evansville
district. and rode to Branchville on a freight
train in charge of Conductor Chapman for
the purpose Of visiting his stepdaughter
Mrs. James Riddle On reaching Branch

was knocked down by the train from WASH
ington and horribly mangled, both legs be-
ing severed from the body. the engine, ten
der and baggage car passing over him be-
fore the train could be stopped. He lived
about three minutes after the accident.
Deceased was about sixty years of age and
leaves wife. The body was removed from
the track by Fielder Tucker.
a large crowd of colored republicans from
Bladensburg marched to this village last
night when they heard the returns from
the upper districts, which were favorable to
Coffin. They fired off guns and shouted
themselves hoarse. The democrats are very
much downcast over the news and the re-
puolicans are rejoicing all over the district

Census Clerks and Civil Service.

10 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Saturday Evening Star contained
an article which stated the President had
made an important extension of the CLASH
fed service.
Mr.. Proctor said: There are further ex-
tensions in contemplation that only await
the arrangement of minor details" ETC.
Why will not the Secretary of the Interior
include the few clerks who will be retained
for the final work in the census office and
place them under the classified service?
These clerks entered the census office under
an examination conducted by Mr.. Blodget
few Of the clerks of the former census
being exempt, owing to their practical
knowledge of the work. Intelligent men
and women are engaged upon the final work
now under completion, men and women who
have for four years gained a reputation for
efficiency and have become splendid cleri-
cal force, none better in the government
When the tenth census was completed a
number of the clerks were given positions
by transfer into other departments without
the experience OF the varied branches of
work included in the eleventh census. Yes
a splendid corps of clerks, who can do any
kind of work placed upon their desks In
the summer of 1891 Mr.. Porter called upon
the force for night work. Men and women
who had bent over mathematical work six
and q half hours, weary with the intense
heat and the work of the day, responded
bravely and remained at the Office until 10
O'Clock completing the work required. No
force has ever worked so hard or faith
fully, much of the work being required to
be done In given time. When the ap-
preparation was at its minimum the clerks
were reduced to $50 per month, there being
few promotions since. There are men and
women employed In the census departmen mt,
noble, brave women. fighting the battle of
life, not for self, but others. I heard q
group of census Office girls talking the
other day. One said she had a dress made
for $50. Near them stood three women,
silent, and yet their hearts were full; one a
saint-like woman. who goes home after
office to make bread and to sew for her
children. The second, a young girl, with
a heart at leisure from ITSELF" educating
her little sister. The third, a young woman
who is the sole support Of her family, who
wears one dress to office and to church.
These are but glimpses into the lives of
those who but personate many now en-
ployed in this department VIII not the
chivalry and manhood of the men in power
place such on the list and under the pro-
lection of the civil service? 1t is hard so
hard, for a woman to leave the safe shelter
of her quiet home and breast the storm of
adversely, but she does 1t with tears In
her eyes and a smile on her lips, God bless
her! L need not speak of the Importance of
a permanent census department. That sub
ject has been laid before the public.

Hlegltimate Children of Parents Liv-
ing I'm Adjoining States.
Lucy TAFT is the name of a female who
lives In Louisa county, Va She Is but
nineteen years old. Several weeks ago she
came here to give birth to an iIlegitimate
child and return home without her OFF,
spring. When she reached here she was
sent to Columbia Hospital at the expense
of the District and when she was dts
charged as cured, she made an effort to
have the board Of childrens guardians take
the child. But Agent Lewis. who heard
her story, decided that she had no claim on
this city to have her child supported, and
SO her request was declined. Then, too, she
said that the ia ther of the child Is a farm
er near her home, who has some wealth, In
addition to being the owner of a large farm.
Under these circumstances her request
was refused, and the young woman soon
found her way to the Hope and Help Mis-
sion, where many unfortunate women hnd
a temporary home, and hear kind words
from the matron. Lucy TAFT, who had been
admitted to the hospital under the name
of Mary Smith, induced the ma iron Of the
Hope and Help Mission to allow her to go
to her Virginia home, saying she had pro-
cured a situation here, and she would re-
turn ana care for her child.
When she reached her home she wrote TO
the matron to inform her that she would
lot return here and some disposition had
better be made of the child.
Yesterday Agent Lewis went into court
and Lad the child turned over to the board.
Speaking to a Star reporter, Agent Lewis
told of the number of similar cases which
come to his attention, and spoke Of the ne
cessity of law under which some or these
mothers and the fathers of the illegitimate
children might be prosecuted.

AN ATTACK OF FLAPS.
A Disease That is Amicting German
Farm Animals.

While the German government is accus-
ing our cattlemen of introducing Texas
fever into Germany they have themselves
to contend with another formidable cattle
disease, which has broken out again among
the farm animals in central Germany, no
tably in the Voigtland and Saxe-Altenburg
This disease is known as the flaps and
foot rot, and United States Consul Stephen
at Annaberg, who reports the outbreak to
the, State Department, says it is the more
unfortunate for the farmers there as only
two years ago the same diseases reduced
the stock considerably and the drought
of 1893. with its subsequent fodder scare
ity, compelled the farmers to slaughter
large numbers of their cattle. Though the
local authorities are doing their utmost
to prevent an extension of the disease, they
have, 1t appears not succeeded, for nearly
every new issue of the official papers men,
tons new cases. The frequent appearance
of these diseases in the same locality is
certainly no evidence of a healthy condi-
ton of German farm animals.

RUPERT WILL CASE.
The Hearing Concluded I'm the Court
of Appeals.

OF Appeals.
The Court of Appeals had under consid-
Grafton yesterday the Rupert will case.
The case came up from Circuit Court No.
1. Judge Bradley. where, in June Of last
year, the jury decided that the testator,
Christian Rupert was Of sound and
dispcsing mind at the time he made the
will. and that he had not been improperly
Influenced.
The will provided that the widow should
have life interest in the estate, and, after
making several requests to relatives and
friends, the deceased directed that the resi-
due of the estate should be devoted to the
erection and maintenance of a home for
aged and INDECENT white people. The heirs
at-law of the testator contested the will on
the grounds that Mr.. Rupert was not Of
sound and disposing mind at the time the
alleged will was made, that he did not
know and understand it's contents. and that
he had been improperly influenced respect
ing 1T by Mrs. Lucy Wiegmann, his house
keeper; Mr.. Simon Wolf, or other persons.
The estate is said to be valued az from
S2CO,0OO to 100000, and, upon the will being
sustained, the heirs-at-law noted an appeal.
The hearing of the appeal was concluded to-
day, the court Withholding its decision. 1t
Is understood that the case will eventually
be carried to the United States Supreme
Court.
