QUEER IDEAS.

Detective w. G. Baldwin has just re.
turned.to the city from West Virginia,
where he has been engaged in Il robbery
case. In this case it was necessary for
him to go to New York and bring back n
man who was an employee in the Smith
81 Wesson revolver manufactory. The
man at first positively refused to come
sout saying he knew he would be killed,
but after great deal of persuasion finally
consented if Mr.. Baldwin would also take
his wife along AS it was necessary to
have the man here Mr.. Baldwin finally
consented and started with the couple
From the time they entered the train un-
til they passed Roanoke yesterday on
their return Mr.. Baldwin says they were
in constant dread lest they might be held
up and robbed and the story he tells OF
their questions relative to the South and
surroundings causes one Ito wonder that
anyone should ever he SO thoroughly ig
norant ot the South. In going up the
New River railroad they were very mucl
surprised ut the mountains and said they
We're the most remarkable sight they had
ever seen. During their stay in Welsh
they sat up all night with reviewers in
their ha'ids expecting every moment some
robber to make onslaught on them.

the appointing power from removing
the officers from their positions If such
removals are shown to be in violation
of the civil service act. He, therefore,
ordered that the men who had been
shifted from a good salaried place to d
smaller salaried place should be REIN
stated.
Government authorities declare that
the ruling of Judge Jackson will cause
great confusion as its findings are far
from what had been expected. He
practically has held that the fact that
a man gets a civil service place under
the government gives him a right in
equity to the salary and emoluments Of
the Office which Is above the caprice of
the head of the department. According
to Judge jackson it Is Illegal to shift a
man in office unless the salary anS
emoluments shall be the same
The case which resulted in this opin-
ion was brought to reinstate United
States storekeeper or gauger in the
revenue service. When the changes in
West Virginia were agreed upon for
October a day storekeeper at the Han
mis- distillery, of this place, was trans
ferred to a position of additional store-
keeper. The stOrekeeper, who for three
months had been on duty as additional
storekeeper, was assigned as day store
keeper. The withdrawal gauger was
also laid off and reinstated gauger
assigned to duty.
BY injunctions the collector and all
others were enjoined from interfering
with the three officers who had been
on duty.

A FRENCH FAMILY'S SUICIDE:
Father. Mother and Three Daughters
Inhale Charcoal Fumes.

Inhale Charcoal Fumes.
Paris, Nov. "a man named Drey-
fus, cousin of Captain Dreyfus, tie
deported artillery officer imprisoned on
an island off the coast Of French
Guiana, his wife, formerly the Count
ess Dhecuerty. and their three daugh-
ters. respectively IL, II and years OF
age, committed suicide yesterday by
charcoal asphyxiation at their resi-
dence on Avenue Marceau. Dreyfus
left a letter for the commissary Of po-
lice of that district, enclosing 400 francs
with which to defray the expenses Of
the funeral of the family. The deceas-
ed husband and father was so terribly
upset by the sentence imposed upon
Captain Dreyfus that he changed his
name to that of his wife.
Dreyfus left a long letter to The
Temps and others TO his financial part
ner. M. Dikof, and to his mother-in-
law. In the letter addressed to The
Temps he argues that suicide is iustif
able, and says "it is better for the chill
dren to die with their parents, as their
mother has also elected to commit sui
eide"
NJ. Dkof asserts that the deceased
man was in comfortable circumstances
and had property, with an annual in
come Of about $1,000 Dikof's theory Is
that the tragedy resulted from excess
of melancholy or madness. He says he
had heard Dreyfus allude approvinsly
to some recent suicides in Paris.
The apartments occupied by the de-
ceased family are richly furnished. In
the dining room the police found the
remnants of an ample repast.
