REFORMERS EAT AND TALK.


CHICAGO. April 25.-The two hundred
stanch friends of better methods In munic-
inal government met tonight in the ban
quet hall of the Auditorium TO celebrate the
recent victory for reform in civil service in
Chicago. The occasion was the banquet
given by the Civil Service Reform League
of Illinois to the gentlemen who took an ac-
tive part In the campaign last fall in behalf
OF the civiI-service law. II had been expect
ed that Carl Schurz and Theodore Roose-
welt, OF New York, would be present, but
neither OF them was able to come. Colonel
John w. Ella, president of the Civil Service
speakers were Mayor George 3. Swift, SEN
ator Charles III. Crawford who introduced

Tuley, Slason Thompson. Representative
David 4. Shannahan, who championed In
Senator G. Porter Johnson, who was one of
the strongest supporters OF the civil-serviee

Il. j. Phelps. secretary Of the Civil Service
Reform League; Lyman j. Gage, John w.
Ella Stephen ID. Denmon. representing the
College League of civil service reform clubs,
Colonel Ella said in his speech: "One OBJ
ject of this banquet will be to keep aroused
the public sentiment which has already been
awakened in favor OF civil service reform
in order that the law which is already
passed may be properly enforced. and that
the bills which. are pending before the
Legislature may become laws We need the
continued interest In this matter. 1t must
not be allowed to lapse We want to see
the state civIl-service bill passed. which
would bring all state institutions, such as
reformatores, asylums and penitentiaries
under the operation of civil-service rule
we want laws in operation by which the
state county and city public service in Iii,
nois will be removed from politics and
placed on business basis. That Is the OBJ
1ect of the Civil Service Reform League;
and We hope to accomplish 1t successfully"

COAL WAR PROBABLE.
Anthracite-Ca Carrying Roads I'm New
York VIII Not Yield TO the Reading.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The refusal
OF the anthracite coal carrying roads In New
York to accede to the Readings demand for
21 per cent. of the total output has caused
much uneasiness in coal circles, and 1t is
now thought that 1t will preciptate a coal
war. There has been considerable talk
among the individual operators in regard to
closing up their mines, one or two of them
having done so, and IL 1t was not for the
cost of keeping the mines clear of water
and of the necessary fixed charges, nearly
all of them would follow suit. 1t is claimed
by the individual operators that the price
at which coal is now sold does not pay
them for mining It, and, notwithstanding
this there is no disposition to make any
advance 1t is hoped by number of these
operators that the price may be so greatly
reduced that something will have to be
done to keep not only the coal operators,
but the railroad companies from bank
ruptcy, and the sooner the price gets SO
low that there viii be a great loss TO all
concerned the sooner 1t is thought relief
will be had. The retail coal operators are
practically without orders and IL was said
yesterday that to insure the sale OF coal a
number them were giving TO each pur-
chaser of ! ton either shovel or bucket
of lime. b I even with this there are very
few orde. At the Readings office they
have very little to say In regard to the
situation, except that they will not recede
from the demand they made, which is II

Durrant's PhysloEnomy.

San Francisco Post.
The dominant characteristics or Durrant
who is charged with the Baptist Emanuel
Church murders, as shown in his face, are

than that associated with his sensuality.
He would infict pain only as impelled by
some other emotion cause. and not from

Jealousy is somewhat in evidence. His
vanity and also his conceit are both very

eyelids indicates O lack of feeling and sensi-

thickness and coarseness of the lower part
OF his nose. He is not a liar in small

eyes: He II an original thinker on an ex-

SEEKING N0TORIETY
LORD sHOLTO DOUGLASS CUNNING
ron CORRESPONDENTS.
He Assaults One and In Promptly
"Bounced''-Insanit Charge Dis
missed by the Judge.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, April 25.-1<ord
Sholto Douglass appeared to-day in the
Superior Court to answer to the charge of
insanity. Only ive EnglisiImen were in the
room. and one of them was Burmeister.
the complaining witness. The young lord
sat alone at the attorneys desk in COM
rany with physicians called as an exam
ining board, No sooner had Judge Conklin
taken his seat than he said: There being
no complaint against this party he will be
discharged" and the famous insanity case
was ended No other word was spoken,
and those present opened their mouths in
wonder while his Lordship merely left the
room. Burmeister had refused to swear to
the second complaint necessary for hear
ing for insanity cases, so there was no
foundation for the action. and the young
prisoners dismissal from court followed as
matter of course. He hurried to his ho-
TEL tEen to the bank, where he drew some
money and began a series OF hurried visits
to different stores. He stopped Constable
Seroy and asked
How much would it cost me to assault
Seroy answered: Now, look here young
man.. you behave yourself like a gentle
man. If you have case against any one
bring suit but do fighting.
About 4 o'clock this afternoon the mys-
terry was solved His Lordship went into
the Californian office and asked George
Weeks, the editor, if the Chronicle corre-
spondent was employed there. The reply
was, That is a professional secret" He
left but soon returned. He was seen to
enter the Office and in remarkably brief
space of time he emerged like shot After
him came Mr.. Weeks and the office force,
apparently bent on the destruction of the
young lord. A few moments later his Lord
ship somewhat rufHed in appearance,
entered the office of Justice Fox and in
formed his Honor he had assaulted the
Chronicle correspondent.
Il hit him three times in the face" he
said when four or five set upon
me from behind and put me out. 1 desire
to plead guilty"
Constable seroy swore to the complaint
and Douglass was fined $3.50, the exact
costs. The justice then read the law,
which says he could fine him for battery
in any sum not exceeding 81, 600 or imprison-
ment not exceeding six months or both.
Douglass said
"Ah; is that so? And / thought 3 was
the limit. 1 was informed that was the
case
Mr. Weeks gives a very different stsry
of the encounter. He says Lord Douglass,
after saying he had been publishing lies
about him, struck at him. He missed him
and before he could try again was thrown
into the street. Douglass left saying he
would return with his crowd and settle
things. Weeks told him he would shoot
the first of his crowd that entered the
building. His Lordship is at present hunt
ing for other correspondents

MUST PAY on S1O,O00.0OO.
Tax Decision Rendered Against the
GouIds by Justice Andrews.

NEW York, April 25.-Justice Andrews
in Supreme Court, special term.~to-day de-
cided that George J. Gould must pay taxes
on the assessment of si0.0oovOo levied by the
tax commissioners 4The point raised for the
Goulds was that Jay Goulo died on Dec.
2, 1892; that letters testamentary were not
granted to his executors until Jan. 13, 1S93
and that jan 9, 1893. was the date on which
the tax commissioners levied the assess
ment. The Goulds held that as the letters
testamentary were not granted until after
the assessment was levied the tax should
be on the old assessment of the personal
estate, 100000. Justice AAndrews holds, in
accordance with several former decisions,
that the executors have personal interest
the testator, and that this interest is not
withheld until after the letters testamentary
have been issued.

THE FRISCO MYSTERY
REV. JOHN GEORGE GIBSON ON THE
WITNESS STAND AGAIN.
Durrants Friends Now Trying to
Fasten the Emanuel Church MUIR
dcrs on the Preacher.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.--Rev. John
George Gibson. pastor OF the Emanuel
Church, was again on the witness stand to-
day I'm the preliminary examination of
Theodore Durrant. charged with the murder
OF Minnie Williams. The defense believes II
has a case against the clergyman and will
try to show that he and not Durrant killed
both Miss Williams and Miss Lamont. On
the day preceding the finding OF Blanche
Lamont's body, her aunt. Mrs. Noble, re-
ceived a paper containing the rings worn
by the missing girl. On the paper were
written the names of George r. King and
Professor Schernstein. the apparent object
being to connect these men with the girls
disappearance. Experts declare the writ
ing TO be the disguised hand of Durrant. In
court, to-day. counsel for the defense re-
quested Rev. DIR. Gibson to write the names
OF King and Schernstein. The minister did
so. but asked twice how to spell Schern-
STEMS name. Gibson was calm and col
lected on the stand and was a good wit
ness. Nothing tangible against him was
brought out by crOss-examinaton and his
testimony was concluded.
