Navy Yard Injustice.

An examination is TO be held at
Washington Navy Yard, June 2S, 1891,
for the purpose of examining candi-
dates for the MastermechanicshiP Of
the Erecting Shop. This will be under
that grand old fake so often called
Civil Service OF course there is only
one person who stands any chance of
getting the position; that will be Geo.
Dunn AS it is as good as given to
him, the foreman, Mr.. Lynch, says he
will have to go through the form at
least, and that no difference what 9TH
er persons may make in percentage,
the place is Mr.. Dunn's. This man
was informed some time ago that such
would take place, and he has been pre-
pairing for it some time. Now the pa
pers come out and advertise for a com
petitive examination, when there is
no such a thing, as the man has the
place already. This man had a couple
of months to prepare, whereas any
other person would have but eight
days. | think the Secretary of the
Navy should know how these matters
are carried on regardless of protest,
and any person like this one should
be debarred from the examination. /
entered one of the first examinations
myself given under the auspices Of the
so-styled Civil Service, and am willing
to testify under oath that | was in
formed by an officer Of the Navy, CON
iidentially, that the men were all Sc
lected, and it would be a waste Of time
for me-
An examination was held two years
ago, and man by the name of Harry
W1NCnVn q al NfaI ne
he and foreman Lynch had gotten up a
time fuse" jointly, and Intended to
sell 1t to the Government, which they
did. Able men went into that exami-
nation; but no Q4Aerence. Mr.. Lynch
was on the Examining Board, and OF
course Mr.. Wilson got the place. The
same case with Mr.. Dunn. A packed
Board and the job is 0. k. This De.
partment is corrupt to the core under
this mans ruling.

Denies the Allegation,

EDITOR GLOBE:
In your issue of June 23d | note the
following reference to the Grand Army
and Col. Andrew Geddes, Chief Clerk
of the Department Of Agriculture.
"The Grand Army of this city is be-
coming interested in the matter of Mr..
Geddes' discharge. There has come
complaints from a number of the old
veterans employed at the Department
of Agriculture, to the effect that they
are receiving ugly treatment in their
positions, and personal insults by Ged-
dees. The Department Commander Of
the Grand Army for the District Of
Columbia is an employee Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and is said to
be well acquainted with the manner in
which Geddes treats the old soldiers
He, too, suffered a reduction some time
ago at his hands"
| have no desire to seek nOtoriety
through the newspapers but the above
in regard to Colonel Geddes is SO false
and vicious, that I would not be true
TO the trust placed in my hands as
Commander Of this Department, did
] not deny it in toto. While do not
think Colonel Geddes desires that /
should defend him in the fight you
seem to be making upon him. l do be-

THE LAST RUNI
lToR THE SUNDAY GLOBE


Twas a winters night in 92,
When down the slope the Ripper few
You could bet your gold,
That twas plJter cOIu;
The wind cut like a knife,
The time of which I'm speaking, c.
lost his life
We came whizzing down that heavy
grade, and as things flew swiftly
past
Little he knew, little we knew, the
run would be his last.
He had been in many an accident, had
seen many a mishap,
Would cuss and swear, and didn't
care and wore a soft slouch hat.
Well we struck the upper crossing,
going at a so gait,
When there came a cry of warning,
but that cry came too late
With a binding crash,
That truck diu dash,
Into a heavy dray,
And the bursting of its headlight lit
up things like day.
We flashed through the plunging
horses and into the massive wheels,
Until now, even the memory of--oh,
how me hard head reels.
Now kind friends don't question me,
don't ask too much begs,
'Tis only a smashed up coaster, and a
horse with broken legs,
One old lady tainted, another had a
swoon,
| heard some one excited shout God
did you see that coon
From beneath that mass Of wreckage,
with cusses and with groans,
Crawl the crew, two by two, some with
broken bones;
G.. NJ. had his teeth knocked out, his
shoulder out of joint,
There was something the matter with
one Of his legs, and his nose had lost
it's point;
G. L. had a broken arm, and J. P, had
the same,
While a new hand had broken jaw,
though l can't quite recall his name;
p. B. and l.. and f. v too,
Were badly cut up, and black and
blue,
The coon was hurled some thirty feet,
and picked up for dead,
And when he awoke to life again, was
at home in bed.
But wedged in a broken wheel, silent
and still,
Lies one badly mangled, who will run
no more the hill,
Head smashed in,
CA shapeless thing)
Split wide open throat,
Arms twisted out of shape, neck and
back are broke.
The Ripper truck,
Is broken up,
Twill run the slope no more,
The steersman-well he is dead and
gone, gone to another shore,
There is a plain white slab in the
Cemetery you know for whom it
stands?
For one who has left the boys, and
gone to other lands.
Fleeting years have passed away and
to manhood I have grown,
But from my mind ne'er fades the
memory of those we'll known.
One of the boys fell at Ell Caney, and
some went this way and that,
And I? we'll, | am here yet and the
children call me pap,
When I sit smoking, of a Winters
evening, and hear the cold wind
swirl,
1t brings back sad recollections of that
last, and fatal whirl.

the survivors Ca colored boy) Of
