opecIuT % Ile HENALD,
Mt CARMEL, Sept 5.--William Curuow,
a coal inspector employed at the Mid
Valley cOlliery, was killed this morning.
He was standing on a train of loaded cars,
inspecting the coal, when other cars were
run down the grade without notice and
the jar caused by the cars coming together
caused the one on which Curnow was
standing to start At the same time the
unfortunate man lost his balance and fell
to the track, the car passing over his body
and causing instant death. Curnow was
at one time p. & r. station agent at this
place, and was also western freight agent
for the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania
Railroad companies. He was IS years OF
age. His body was frightfully mangled
the entire train passing over it.

THE CHARGES DISMISSED,
The Report of the Civil Service Com
mission i'm the Philadelphia Pos
ONCE Case.

The Report of the Civil Service Com
mission i'm the Philadelphia Post
Office Case.
The report of the recent Investigation Of
the civil service commissioners, Proctor
and Roosevelt, on the charges Of violations
of civil service law in the Philadelphia post
office, filed by Isaac d. Mckee, late chair
man of the civil service commission hoard
of Philadelphia, was given out today. 1t
dismisses the charges, but censu-es POST
master Carr for receiving statements as to
the political affiliations Of applicants FOR
post office positions.
The commissioners find that there was no
substantial foundation for complaint against
Assistant Postmaster Drake. The COM
plants of removals for political purposes Of
Mr.. Mckee and Joseph s. Crawford, late as
sistant money order superintendent of the
office. are held to be groundless, owing to
the excepted place which they occupied.
The most serious matter developed by the
investigation was the use Of two eligible
registers. from which civilizations Were
being Unfortunately made. One consisted
of names of persons who had passed ex-
of 1882 and the other those who passed
about the time Of the change Of admins
tratton, consisting principally of democrats.
This, it is said. resulted in a marked dis
elimination in favor of the new list
Mr.. Mckee's reply to the report, referring
to the investigation as star chamber
arrangement" and stating that Doth he
and Mr.. Crawford are ready to substanti-
ate the charges, was received at the COM
mission this morning Mr.. Crawford has
also forwarded his reply. indicating that he
will seek to have his case reopened.

IN THE SENATE TODAY.
Time Occupied in Discussing MT.
Stewards Ond Resolution.


Stewards Ond Resolution.
The galleries Of the Senate were crowded
today, but the throng of visitors was prob
ably the overflow from those attracted by
the great tariff debate in the House.
Senator Hill IN. " presented resolutions
of the New York legislature congratulating
the President on his abandonment of his
Hawaiian policy and protesting against the
Wilson tariff bill
A resolution was presented by Senator
Allen tNeb) directing the Secretary OF the
Treasury to inform the Senate what amount
of paper money issued by the government
has been redeemed since 1875. and how
much of 1t, if any, has been reissued; also
what authority Of law exists for the gold
reserve, and when it was established. and
why it is now maintained.
Senator German objected to the request
for the immediate consideration of the
resolution, and 1t went over.
Senator PETER (kan) presented a resolu-
ton directing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to inform the Senate how many offers
Of bond purchases have been presented.
giving the names and places Of business Of
the persons, firms or corporations, and
for what amounts and in what sums, re-
spectively, the bonds have been sold.
The Stewart Bond Resolution.
luton of Stewart, those favoring the reso-
luton insisting that 1t had gone over yes
terday with the understanding that 1t
should come up this morning, and others
main tanning that there had been no such
understanding, and that the resolution hav-
ing gone to the calendar must come up in
its regular order. A reading OF the record
sustained the declaration that the resolu-
ton had gone to the calendar. but 1t was
finally permitted to be taken up by unani-
nous consent.
Senator Sherman read a letter in which
ex-Secretary of the Treasury Foster denied
that in January last he had ordered the
preparation of plates for the issuing Of
bonds generally. He had, however, after
the per cent bond bill passed the Senate
at that time, caused plates to be issued for
these bonds, but for none others.
Government Printing once Site.
Interrupting at this juncture, Senator Vest
secured unanimous consent that the bill
for the site and erection of q new govern
ment printing office should be a special
order for next Wednesday and be considered
until disposed of.
Senator Stewart New then took the
| floor on the bond resolution.
Senator DOlph's Position.
Senator Stewart concluded at LAO and
was followed by Senator Dolph. who took
the position that the question raised by the
resolution was purely question Of law
and that the Secretary of the Treasury
has now the power under existing law to
sell bonds.

SOME CHANGES PROPOSED
By the District Com missioners in .
street Railroad Bill.

The Commissioners today transmitted to
Congress their report upon House bill 1913
authorizing the Washington, Alexandra
and Mount Vernon Railway Company to
construct O railroad in the District Of Co
lumbia, together with substitute bill
which they offer for adoption. In their re-
port they say: TT is understood that the
railway company proposes to cross the
Potomac river by ferry temporarily, and
while 50 operating the ferry. desire to use
the overhead electric trolley at and near
the ferry landing on the Washington side.
There 10 no serious objection to such limit
ed use OF the overhead trolley.
The route laid down in the original bill
crosses the reclaimed fats. which grounds
are In charge of the War Department. and
also crosses United States reservation No.
4. under charge Of the Navy Department.
The right Of ferry landing or of a bridge
would naturally be the subject OF separate
bill. and 1t is suggested that an authorized
route west Of sd street (Which bounds
described in such bill.
In continuing the route eastward the
Commissioners have commenced on 23d
street at or near New York avenue, as
following the route OF the original bill to
the intersection of b and 14th streets. They
have also inserted therein. as an alternative
route. viz: One commencing at the inter-
section Of Upper Water and I'D streets.
thence along Upper Water street to b
street as far as the intersection Of that
street with 14th street. From this point
the Commissioners recommend q prolonga-
ton OF the main route along B street to a
point between eth and 9Th streets This
part Of B street Is a natural center of street
car trafhc and one where q union street
car transfer station should be provided,
room for which can be made available by
the widening Of street on it's south side
A branch route as far north as b street as
practical without crossing Pennsylvania
avenue
The substitute bill embodies some import
ant stipulations and conditions additional
to the terms Of the original bill

some time ago John s. Seymour, commits
sioner Of patents. had q conference With
various members of the examining corps and
according to report declared to them that
too much liberality had been exercised in
the grant of patents for minor improve
ments or small changes and departures, AID
that hereafter, in case of doubt as to pat
entability, the doubt should be resolved
against the applicant This announcement
produced great uneasiness among the pat
ent attorneys, and one of the largest local
firms has addressed a circular letter to The
commissioner asking for an Official state

The commissioner says that ne cam

versation with a reporter for The Star
this afternoon he said: 1T Is not ap-
propriate for me to announce a policy. 1t
is my duty to decide cases according to
the law and not to announce how they will
be decided in advance. The public has a
very slight appreciation Of the number of
attempts that are made to get patents not
based on valuable inventions, but which
offset under cover of a slight change a
meritorious invention made by another and
already patented.

is made and the patent therefor issued and

details with the purpose of meeting the true

gerous perversion Of the system"
