Eel from a Trlin.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Jan. 23.-The
corpse OF G.. II. Silleck of Brooklyn,
n. Y, was found this morning LYING
by the side of the track OF the Florida
East Coast railroad at Deep Crees
trestle abobt 10 miles from ST. Angus
tine on the road to Palatka. Mr.. Sill
leck and wife were passengers on
Wednesday mornings train from Day
tona and on the arrival Of the train at
St. Augustine in the afternoon, Mr..
Silleck was missing. The last seen OF
him alive was shortly after leaving
Palatka when he left his wife as he
thought, to 60 into the smoking car.
After some little time, at the request
of Mrs. Silleck, the baggage transfer
agent went through the train to look
for him. 1t was then found that he
was not on the train and it was feared
that he had fallen off while passing
from one car to another. Mrs. Silleck
came to Jacksonville and the railroad
authorities began a search for her hus-
band, which resulted in finding his
corpse this morning. In falling the
unfortunate man received injuries
which must have resulted in his
speedy death. The body will be taken
to Brooklyn for interment. Mr.. and
Mrs. Silleck had been at Daytona and
other points on the east coast for the
benefit Of Mrs. Silleck's health. They
were on rheir way homo when the &C
cident took place.

There is no doubt about the fact
that the Kelley Institute of South

State. Those who have received its
benefits are loud in its praises and
they are living examples of the eff

as nature intended them to be. At the
institute one receives the kindest at

at home. and in a few brief days he
once again has the joy Of realizing
that he is a man; that life which
seemed dreary and dark and almost
hopeless is worth the living and eu-
ioying as God intended it should be.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Scarcity of
money and the difficulty that many
experience in obtaining work that
yields enough income to meet their
everyday expenses, cause them to
write hundreds of useless letters to
their Congressman and Senators be-
seechlng their aid in getting some
kind OF government work-useless let
tiers, because these positions are not
within the gift of Congressman and
Senators. These positions are under
what is called the Civil Service Com
mission. This commission holds from
two to three competitive examinations
annually in each State. Those who
successfully pass the examinations
(make grade of 70 per cent. on all
branches are placed on an eligible
list in order of their grades. When
department has need of new clerks it
makes a requisition on the commits
sion for the number and kind of clerks
wanted. The president Of TIE COM
mission selects from the list Of elig-
ibles those who are best qualified to
fill the positions. While exact quotas
or representation is not given to the
States in employing the governments
clerical force, yet due regard is given
in the selection of eligibles from those
States and Territories that have few
est in the governments service. All
persons who seek to obtain a govern
ment clerkship should apply to the
president of the Civil Service Commis-
sion, whose duty it is to notify them
of the character of the examinations,
the requirements of applicants and the
time and place of holding such exam
nations. The present year, it would
seem, from an extract from a circular
sent out by the commission, is an op-
perfume time for South Carolinians
to stand these examinations.
THE share ofappointments received
by Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Della
ware, District of Columbia, Maryland.
Massachusetts,, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Virginia and Wyo-
ming is at present excessive, and no
applications for any departmental ex-
aminations will be accepted from
legal residents thereof, unless there
is failure to secure eligibles from
other States.
1.-The following named States have
also received an excessive share of
appointments, but to a less extent
than those named above, and during
the first half of this year no appli-
cations for the clerk copyist, the
watchman or the messenger examina-
ton will be accepted from legal resi-
dents thereof: California Connecti-
cut, Florida, Georgia, illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New York, North Caro-
lima, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon,

CONWAY, Jan. 23.-Quite myste-
rious robbery occurred here on the
night of the 18th inst. The fact was
kept quiet for purpose, only few of
the faithful ones knowing it. The
safe OF the county treasurer of Horny
was opened and robbed ofabout 50, 500.
County Treasurer L. D. Long was in
his office during the day and says he
locked his safe, as is his custom, before
closing up for the night. Returning
on Tuesday morning, he found his
Office door open and on further exam
ination discovered that his safe had
been opened and the amount as stated,
gone. The thief evidently must have
known the combination, and having
provided himself with key to the
Office, had no trouble in getting the
booty. This was surprise to us when
we heard the truth yesterday. 1t is
the first thing of the kind that has
ever happened in our county and is to
be regretted. There is no clue to the
robbery. The treasurer, | presume,
has some idea as to the robbery, bu:
has not told any one-State.

in the interest of this industry.
Another will be offered to be com
peted for by the fruit growers, who
have already fairly organized one OF
the most promising new industries in
the State, but will be interested doubt
less in a contest which will show who
is the leader in this pleasant and prof.
table field of endeavor.
Last but not least in the order Of
merit and interest, will be the prize to
be contested for by the women OF the
State who are working on the farms as
hard as their husbands and fathers and
brothers and sons, without getting. due
credit for their part of the yearly pro-
ducts and income. The contest will
cover the field of woman's work on the
farm. in the orchard, about the house,
in the dairy and kitchen, and garden,
in the poultry yard, and among. the
bee hives, and in all the wide and va
ried departments of her ceaseless indus
try, and we hope will serve to inspire
many such workers with new interest
in their daily and all-day tasks and

Rivers for much of what is now o. re

to undertake the work OF gathering
statistical information in regard to the
troops of the State furnished to the
Confederacy, and historical accounts
of the regiments and other bodies But

remuneration whatsoever for his ser
vices during the time be was acting

cords Of the Stale, from which ne was

nection with the matter. The great

estimate for 1s91-o2 was $3.50, 900. but
the cost was $3.50 .523. or $232 1928
moro than the estimate. This act seems
stranger when 1t is called to mind that
the cost for the two previous two year,
was S7sG, $3.50 or $13G.o 3o more than
the estimates. The foregoing figures ars

The legislature OF 1893 levied IN taxes,
for 1898. 81 .o31 .214 and for 1894, ST..
ESQ, 135, total for the two years Of
SO. 620, 349; and it made appropriations
amounting TO $l72,00o, to which no
taxing clause was incorporated. II is
proper TO say that this legislature was
unaware ofthe condition Of the treasury,
or It is reasonable to persume the matter
would have been remedied.
The balance December 81, 1894, was a
minus Of S6G.S94, and 100000 had
been borrowed TO bridge over until
the taxes could he collected. The legis-
ture Of 1896 appropriated for 1895.
$2,733.9l9, or thereabouts, and for
1896 about S1,S0O,00O. The tax levy
for 1896 was $3,0l2,0l9 and for 1896
il is estimated IL will be about So
0S3, 800.
The balance at the close OF business
yesterday, December 8, 1895, was SAL
GLAD. but there had been borrowed
100000. and $4,000 advanced by
Wayne county. There are taxes due
from various counties and from the in
surance companies and charter railroad
companies, which will enable the bills TO
be met until the money from the present
tax levy can be realized. There will,
therefore, be $563. 500 To apply on the
deficiency. Then the expenses OF tho
amounting TO Sl23, 500 have been paid.
and $50, 900 for strike expenses.
The census, amounting too, probably,
$40. 900, has been paid. There will be
some interest TO pay on loans. and some
received for deposits, but which will not
materially change the result. There is
also being considerable expended in the
collection Of accounts against counties
which have been delinquent in payment
OF taxes, but there will be from $780,
600 TO S25O,000 collected which would
otherwise not have boon paid TO the
state.
In view OF the increased expense il is
possible there viii be n small deficiency

taxes. 1t is to be sincerely regretted
that this high tax comes when peopIefeel
