A DOUBLE FALL.
An Excursionist's Rough Experience
Going to Stockton.

A man named McEnerny, who went
over to Stockton last evening with the
eXcurSioniStS to attend the Johnson
demonstration, fell from the second
train when within about four miles of
Stockton.
He was not missed for some time,
and the trainmen of the other trains
were told to look out for him, but did
not see him as they passed. Then a
locomotive and car were sent back and
McEnerny was found and taken aboard,
but on the way back to Stockton he fell
CT again, and it was reported that he
was severely injured.

The Duluth News-Tribune inspeak-
ing of the kirkhart & Ryan's circus
which showed there today and yester-
day says the following: Kirkhart &
Ryan's circus makes no outside dis
play, but does give a good big show
inside the tent. 1t is an old fashioned
American one-ring circus, with plenty
of good tumbling, trapeze work: Jug
Cling and horizontal bar acts. The
feature OF Burke on his unsupported
ladder pays one for going. One can
see and enjoy each performance, and
each act is well worth seeing. There
is not bewildering and half satisfy
ing array Of performances going on at
the same time. The good old days of
Yankee Robinson seem with US again.
and canJor aoraralu fba a-+o+av,aor+
that Kirkhart & Ryan have more
than made good their promises. The
performances are artistic and clever,
and the attaches obliging and careful
to protect their patrons. The .'con-
cert after the big show is over" is
much above the average, and well
worth remaining for. There were
large and well pleased crowds at both
performances yesterday, and their
words Of praise will insure crowded
tents for this afternoon and evening. :"

AN INVESTIGATION

OF the PostofIieo Department May Disclose
Violations OF the Civil service Law.
Charges Preferred by the Discharged.
Free DeIiVery notwithstanding DeyeI-
opments Expected.
Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 24.-The
postoinee department Is to undergo Q
rigid Investigation. The three employees
who were bounced several weeks ago
upon allegations OF engaging In con-
spiracy have filed their charges and the
civil service commission and the attor-
ney general are to be called upon TO
disclose all the facts supposed to be in
their possession in relation to the case.
W. W. Hill. who was assistant super
intendent OF the free delivery depart
ment. William A. Sullivan and Samuel
Bright. employed In the same depart
ment, are the sponsors for the allega-
lions, which are that fifty-nine special
agents Of that service were each as
sessed $50 as contribution to the Ohio,
Democratic campaign fund when Can
didate Campbell was trying to reduce
McKinley's majority. AL OF the agents
paid up, but some protested One OF the
letters OF protest came Into the pos
session OF Hill, who turned II over to
Assistant Postmaster General Jones.
Then he and the other two named were
accused OF conspiring to bring diseredlt
upon the administration OF the depart
ment They had filed complaint against
August Machin, the superintendent of
hfn m
BeIlman. an assistant in the campaign
method. and the three were fired.
The civil service commission took up
the case and entered upon an examina-
tion. but owing to the limited powers
Of that tribunal, the presence Of per-
sons and papers could not be command
ed, and while Il Is stated to be IN ab-
soi1tely certain conclusion that Bell
man Is guilty, as alleged. no one seems
to have heretofore exercised proper
power OF disclosing the facts. The post
master general did not and the COM
mission could not.
Hill asserts that the civil service COM
mlssioners have a report ready for the
attorney generals action in n legal way,
but Commissioner Proctor says no re-
port has been yet prepared. A resolu-
ton providing for an investigation has
been for several days pending in the
senate. That resolution will be amend
ed so rs to require the commission and
the attorney general to report the facts,
and following this the investigation
will doubtless proceed In good earnest.
There Is In connection with this un-
savory exposure a further charge that
the department, under this administra-
tlon. has maintained a force OF spoilers
TO spy on the employees and report
upon every petty dereliction as n means
OF eliminating the Republican element,
and that the complete success Of the
scheme has been thwarted only by the
