Mr.. Arnold on Civil Service.

Hon. w. G. Arnold, our wide.
awake, hustling and brainy Congress.
man, has introduced bill to repeal
the original civil service law of 1898,
aud all other laws supplemental or
amendatory thereto Mr.. Arnold is
quite in earnest in the matter and in
an interview gave bis opinion of the
law in a most emphatic manner, and
his views will meet the approval Of
very large number of persons who
have discovered that the law as it is
administered is most decided farce.
He says;
"The civil service system is a delu-
sion, a farce aud fraud and ought
10 be repealed. 1t is also unbusiness.
like unAmericrn, unjust and unfair.
The whole government service was
packed with people who never passed
any examination, and then the civil
service was extended so as to include
them. Now they are in office and
protected by the law, and they can't
be removed, no matter how unfit they
may be- 10 addition the system is
full of inconsistencies. Take, for ex.
ample, the case of Revenue Collector
Fruit, Of our district. He is under
S500,000 bonds, and with the single
exception OF one Office deputy, he
cant appoint a single deputy collect.
or, and yet he and his bondsmen must
be responsible for the official acts of
people in whose selection he has no
voice. In fact, the whole thing is full
of Injustice and inequalities, as can
easily be learned by going through
the departments and investigating
the way in which it works.
81 believe that majority of the
Republicans in the House favor its
repeal. 1t may be said that our
platform pledges US to sustain it, but
is our party living up to its declara.
tions 90 the Cuban question? And,
besides, if a party finds that it has
declared for wrong principle, hadn't
it better correct itself? l am for a
free Cuba, and | am also for free
and fair chance for every man for
public place. This law doesn't give
it. 1t is only leading to life tenure
of Office, and am opposed to that
| have no objection to a fixed term
based upon merit and fitness, a:
shown by proper examinations, but ]
am opposed to the present system and
its life tenure of Office.

how to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time oft the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know OF
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain Cough Remedy. We
have used il quite extensively and it has
always given entire satisfaction.-Olag

This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe, we have

An Excellent Showing,

The records of the State Depart.
ment for 1897, as compared with last

During the same period of 1896
there were but FIVE street railway
companies chartered, with an aggre-
gate capitol of only $4,000, while
during the same period of 1897, there
were nineteen companies with an ag.
gregate capitol of 81 $4,000 or an
increase of about 1,400 per cent.
During the same period of 1896 the
total capital represented by all the
corporate transactions of the depart.
ment amounted to s73,O00,O00, and
for the same months in 1897 to S163,
100000, showing an increase of 125
per cent,
During October, 1896, there were
% miscellaneous manufacturing com.
panies chartered, with an aggregate
capital of 100000, and during the

showing an increase in capitalization
of 81. 400, 900, or nearly 300 per cent

Memorial Home Goes to the Corps.

The following bit of news will interest
and please the ladies of the Women's
Relief Corps throughout this section of
the State who have for long time been
considerably worried lest they might
lose their title to the Home at Brookville,
Pa. A dispatch from that place says !:
The difference between the incorpora-
tors of the Memorial home and the Wom-
ans Relief corps has been anmicably
settled, and the home passes into the
hands of the corps. The home is a fine
building, situated in grove of six acres,
and was bought in 1889 for $50, 900. 1t
contains, besides reception, dining and
other rooms, 40 bed rooms, all properly
equipped for the accommodation of sold
iers and their wives and children. I'm
fortunately a mortgage of almost $1,000
still stands agaiast the institution, with a
threat of foreclosure hanging oyer it if
not soon paid. 1t is the aim of the Re
lief corps to have the mortgage paid by
the time of the next meeting of the G.. A.
II. at Oil City in June, and contributions
are asked in aid Of this worthy charity.
The home is maintained for veterans, and
is one of the nOblest charities in Pennsyl-
vania. The Woman's Relief corps feels
sure that the money needed to liquidate
| the debt will be forthcoming from open
| handed givers throughout the State.

The activity among woolen man
ufacturers under the protective tariff
is already so great as to inquire fresh
orders. for foreign wools despite the
enormous import ,tions of few
months ago aud the large purchases
from the farmers since the new law
went into effect. The large advance
in prices of domestic woods since the
enactment of the-Diugley law has put
enormous quantities into the market
but even this has not supplied the de
mand among the wooden mills, which
are running over time in many places
where they were silent under the op
erations of the Wilson law.

Dr.. Avery in Ill Health.

The last six weeks members OF the Whining
ton Methodist Episcopal Conference have
been discussing the probability of the Rev
Walter E. Avery, d. D., rcsigning the presid-
ing eldership Of the Salisbury District. to
which position he was appointed at the con
ference session held in Che-tertown last March.
succeeding the Rev Wilbur F. Corkran. d. D..
who was transferred to the Eastern District
presiding eldership. DR.. Avery has been i'll
most OF the time since his appointment, suf
fering from nervous prostratlon, and it is
stated he was unable to attend the second
round quarterly confer nces. 1t is asserted
that he has had the question of r-siynine
under consideration for several months.
If DR.. Avery resigns :he contest waged at
the last conference session may be renewed
at the meeting to be held next week. His
strongest competitors were the Rev. c. W..
Prettymap, D. D., OF ali,bury, and the Rev.
G. s. Baker, Of Fairmount. aud it is thought
one OF these ministers will succeed him.

MURDER MYSTERY.
THE CRIME MAY HAVE BEEN
COMMITTED HERE.
The Decomposed Body of Boy Found
in a HORSE Car Being Returned
From ElktOn.


The authorities at Elkton, were notified on
Saturday. by the Chief of Police of Williams
port Pennsylvania, that the decomposed
body of boy who had been murdered in
railroad car used in the transportation of
horses, which was being returned from Elk
ton, had been discovered in that city that
day, upon the ears reaching the railroad
yards there. The car in question was con
signed here to james Levi. and had been
shipped to Elkton, from Toronto, Canada,
reaching here on Monday. October II. On
its return to Toronto it had been forwarded
from Elkton empty on the following
Wednesday night. October 13. and went 10y
way of Perryvlle and was passing through
Wiliamsport, when the discovery was made.
The dispatch received here on Saturday
stated that the unfortunate lad was about
sixteen years Of age. of light complexion, was
five feet four inches in height, weighed about
one hundred and twenty-five pounds. He
wore light trousers. dark jacket, light brown
cap and russet shoes, and that the foul deed
had been committed with coupling pin
which was also found lying in the car near
his body. His skull had been crushed, and
there was also evidenced that he had been
first strangled. Nearby was laying a paper
bag bearing the advertisement of the Key
stone Cash Grocery, of Elkton, ]. Oge Ne
CuIough, agent. 1t was evident from the
condition of the body that the deed had been
committed some days before the discovery.
The officials at Elkton. Immediately took
up the case, and an investigation revealed
the fact that a 10y answering the description
of the murdered boy had been in Elkton, and
to whom Mr.. Mccullough remembered sell
ing some cakes on either Tuesday or We'd
nes,lay of that week William Realey, who
is EMPLOYED at the warehouse of Charles r.
Foard, stated that on Wednesday afternoon
he saw boy of that appearance enter the
ear accompanied 10y II man apparently about
forty years of age. Realey thought nothing
of the matter and did not motto" whether
they left the car or not. Railroad employees
at the freight station entered the ear that day
before it left, but AS the car contained stalls
for horses, persons could have been in there
then without their seeing them, as they did
not look through the ear thoroughly They
closed the doors but one Of the employees
happened to notice that one door was open
when the car went off in the train. When
the car came to Elkton the horses were
accompanied by two white men, white boy
and a colored boy. The supposition is that
the boy was the one that came here and that
knowing that the car was to be returned
home went in il in order to secure his pas
sage back Whether the murder was com
mitted here or not is Ms yet a mystery which
the officials are putting every effort forth to
unravel.
