OUT OF POLITICS.
Certain Senatorial Employees May Be Put
on q Different Basis.
(To be continued.)

on Different Basis.
There is movement in the senate,
which has attained to we'll defined pro-
portions, to place some of the employees
of that body on basis something like
that of the classified service. The steer
ing committees of the Republican and
Democratic parties in the senate have
been considering the motion for several
days.
The proposition is to remove certain
Of the more important appointive officers
from the influence of politics and to re-
tain them permanently because Of fit
ness, and to then divide the remaining
patronage equally among the senators,
regardless IF party utilization. This will
give each senator, whether chairman Of
a committee or not, one place about
equal in salary to that Of a messenger.
In order to consummate this arrange
ment, it will be necessary for the Dem
ocrats to surrender about 20 places which
they now control, and which will go to
Republicans.
The Republican senators have not yet
decided upon caucus to consider the
matter, but it is understood that they
are generally friendly to it. This move
is announced to be independent Of the
proposition to change the offices of Sec
rotary and sergeant-at-arms, but it is
generally believed that if it goes through
that matter will not be further agitated
this session. w Washington Post.

For Easy Writing on Trains.

The rolling stock of German state
railroads has been provided with an
appliance which will enable passengers
on board a train to write without diff
ficulty and regardless Of the motion of
the train. The new appliance consists of
board suspended from the ceiling of
the car by strong but elastic cords, which
will prevent the vibration of the moving
train from interfering with the writer.
At the present time only the first class
compartments of through trains are fur
nished with this appliance, and a small
charge is made by the conductor for it's

than half full, but after the full force
had been turned on for twenty min
utes the pumps working as free as
racers and without the least perceptible

working, and have no fear that did

The ditch in which the sewer is laid

it can be filled in, the lower part of S

who fleeced so many citizens here last
week, is in the tolls He was slippery
enough to gull large number Of per-
sons here, but not quite sharp enough
to get away with the spoils. although
he made the effort
But he and the woman who accom-
panied him did not have the necessary
nerve to act so as not to excite Sus-
picion. They We're evidently nervous
and uneasy while on the overland train
and excited the suspicious of Sherman
Curn, a brakeman on the train, who
impaired his opinion to a friend and
they watched the couple.
They had boarded the train separate
ly, she going anto a day coach and he
into a sleeping coach, and appearing to
be unacquainted with her.
She paid her fare to WadSworth, and
he paid his to Truckee, but afterwards
paid to Reno. He pretended to be
drummer, telling Curn and his friend
that he had lost considerable sleep and
must sell three or four bills in time to
get home for Christmas, for we trav-
cling men have to always come home
for Christmas, you know
He got off at Reno, but she sat still
in the coach, where she had sat bolt
upright all night without sleeping, un-
til she saw Dunbar through the window
making motions to her to stop. Then
she jumped up and said she must take
the next train back, and the train was
stopped for her to get off, after it had
run several hundred yards. Curn helped
her off, and as he touched her arm
through the beautiful cloak that mer-
chant here was swindled out of, he
found that she was quivering with ner-
vous excitement He told his friend
the couple but until he returned to Sac
ramento and read the description of the
couple he did not know who they were.
Then he communicated with Chief
Drew and told him he could tell where
they were, if he would be entitled to
the reward. The matter being properly
adjusted, he informed Chief Drew that
he would find his man in Virginia City.
A telegram was sent to have the couple
arrested, and yesterday afternoon Drew
was notified that they had been taken
in to custody.
An application was made to the Gov
ernor for a requisition, but as the
papers had not been properly drawn, it
was deferred till this morning. Captain
of Police Ash left last night on the
train, however, to fetch Dunbar down
and the papers will follow him, and
Dunbar will probably be back here in a
couple of days.
