A Well Known and Aged Colored Man
Nearly Scared to Death by the Thought
That He Had Committed Murder.
Peter Curtis. an old darkey about 50
years of age. who until recently was but
Ter at the ladies' entrance to the Mcclure
House, was the prominent figure and hero
of romantic love affair recently. Not
wthstanding the old colored mans eX-
IRENE age. he still has a great fondness
for the female sex and permitted himself
TO become enraptured with the charms Of
a young dusky belle who happened to
care more for younger man. The young
man. however. saw an opportunity to have
some cruel fun with the old man. and
persuaded the girl to encourage the old
mans attentions to the point where he
was ready to fight for his young love.
Then he and the young man became dan
gerous rivals, and as a result a fake duel
was arranged between the parties. a few
mornings ago the parties went out in the
country, and each one was provided with
a loaded gun. At the word. the old man
fired and the young man dropped to the
ground and lay motionless. The old man.
seeing his rival lying still, Immediately eX-
claimed: My God, l have killed him.
and started off on a run. So badly scared
was he that he made marvellous time. and
a rider on horseback was dispatched to
ten .ho - man that no murder had been
committed.

7. GAs-woRKs LEASE.

BY a vote OF rs to 81 the Common Coun-
ell OF Philadelphia has decided to accept
the offer of well-known corporation to
take its gas-works under a long lease.
1t Is believed that the Select Council will
concur In the ordinance and that 1t Will
be signed by the Mayor.
The lease question has long been under
discussion in Philadelphia, but this ordi-
nance was finally rushed through the
Common Council with monstrous haste.
The promoters OF the scheme would not
stop to consider an offer that was said
10 be $4,000 900 better for the city than
that which was accepted.
Some OF the councilmen who supported
the lease are believed TO have been in
dueets 10. do so by influences which rarely
easl to persuade sordid men. II some OF
the accounts of the proceedings by which
this lease has been carried forward SO
far are so much as half true, the people
of philadelphia are putting themselves In
the power of a constituencies corporation.
"The gas-works crowd" may be an OBJ
jectionable element in Philadelphia poll
tics. but 1t remains to be seen If the les
sees will not be more so.
Philadelphia is the last Of the cities Of
the first-class TO agree to relinluish its
eas-works, and 1t is odd that it should do
so when general public sentiment greatly
favors municipal ownership.
Nothing that we have seen published
with regard to the struggle for the con-
troll Of the Philadelphia gas-works causes
us to think 1t would be better for Rich
mond TO sell or lease her works. Ours
may not be a perfect system. but 1t is
better that we should content ourselves
with Il rather than introduce into city
politics what might prove to be Trojan
horse.

WEDNESDAY,........NOV.1O 10. 1897
JUDGE JAcKsoN's DECISION.

The decision of United States Judge
Jackson in the internal-revenue removal
cases. handed down at Martinsburg, W.
Va, Monday, is a broad one, and the
final determination on appeal-notice OF
which has been given-of the questions
Involved will be watched with interest, not
only by thousands of government en-
pioyees who hold their positions under
the civil-seryice law, but by the general
public.
The direct issue before the court was
whether an internal-revenue collector
had a right to transfer employees hold
ing under the civil-service from higher to
lower positions. Judge Jackson decided
in the negative, but his decision also
maintained that such transfer was tan
tamount to removal and in violation OF
the civil-service law. He sustained the
constitutionality of the civil-service act;
threw around employees filling places un-
der that act its protection, and held that
they could not be removed except in ac-
cordance with its provisions and the rules
made in PRONUNCIATION thereof.
AS we understand 1t, Judge Jacksons
decision is a stand-off in some respects
10 a decision recently rendered in
somewhat similar issue by another United
States Judge of coordinate powers, but
the former decision is much more sweep
ing than the latter. Judge Jackson's
findings are a clear victory for all gov
eminent employees whose positions are
covered by the civil-service law. They
are so comprehensive that when the case
gets into the higher court 1t will neces-
state a decision by that tribunal which
will dispose of the ciyil-service question
in its entirety, and determine without
further ado whether the eivil-service law
is a monumental fake" and fraud or
reality.

CRoKER,s GOOD LUCK.
Fortune "COming His Way Now
Van Wyck to Join Him.

HIot Springs special of Monday in New
Yor,. Herald.)
Richard Croker. whose first day here
was one of the quietest of his life, began
to stir about to-day. He was up early,
and made tour OF the springs with Ran
doIph Guggenheimer and Miles NJ. OBrien
and their wives. The Tammany chief
tain. accompanied by Senator Grady,
visited the bathing pavilion later ana
took the first of the series OF sulphur
baths through which he hopes 10 regain
health.
Aside from his walk in the morning
Mr. Croker took no exercise. he spent
much Of the afternoon sitting In the main
reception-room Of the New Homestead
Hotel, chatting with friends and taking
things easy"
1t still remains to be seen whether the
Virginia Hot Springs will become ram
many Mecca. If Mr.. Cookers wish Is re-
spected IT will not. Every one mere Is
asking when Judge Robert A. Van Wyck
will arrive. The belief prevails that the
Mayor-elect will join Mr.. Croker's party,
and each new conner who bears the
slightest resemblance to Van Wyck's pic
lures brings out the question: rs that
Van WyckY
shall you see Judge Van Wyck before
YOU return to New York;" asked Mr..
Croker.
81 don't know" he replied. 81 under
stood before leaving New York that the
Mayor would try to get few days rest
soon, but / did not hear which way re
was going"
am told tonight that the Mayor-elect
is likely to be here soon.
Mr.. Croker was much pleased with the
news that his 3-year-old filly. Georgiana,
had won the Chellows Plate on the Eng
fish turf to-day.
Good fortune seems TO be coming my
way" said the Tammany leader, as he
recalled the result of last Tuesday s
mayoralty race in Greater New York ana
to-day's event in England. Well ne
commented. "Georgiana is a good horse
and she has won two or three times be-
fore She is doing very well, think, ior
q 3-year-old / bought her two years ago
in England. and naturally am very much
pleased with her performances"
Mr.. Croker, II was plain TO be seen, teit
more interest just then in talking about
horses than about politics. AT the same
time he was as unwilling as he had been
last night to discuss the report that he
was about TO sell his interest In the Belle
Mead farm.
/ was told to-day, however, by man
who ought to know, that Mr.. Croker tas
no desire to sell his Belle Mead farm, and
has no intention Of doing So
Foxhall Keene. who is here with Mrs
Keene, is devoting much time to golf, as
are other visitors TO Hot Springs. Mr.
Croker and his friends watched the play
e. kol
Tammany leader seemed to take only
passing interest in It, There Is alto
gether too much exercise in golf for Mr..
Croker just now, and it is doubtful II ne
attempts to play the game during MS
stay here. II he does so on the links II
may be taken as evidence Of a marked
Improvement in his health.
There was no political talk here to-
day. Mr. Croker and his friends will DIS
cuss the subject very little while here,
unless Mayor-elect Van Wyck appears.
