HELD IN FALL RIVER, MASS.
ERNEST KING, OF NEW HAVEN,
 IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Arrested on Suspicion of 1urderlng Gnspard 0. Vandal, a GrOCer-Latter Robbed of s20O-KIng Reported as Belonging to the Oyster Boat MIkadO, Owned by Jeremiah ~mIth S ~Ous.

Fall River, MMass., Dec. 21.-Gas- pard o. Vandal. a grocer of the east side of this city was discovered in a badly battered condition in an alley way near his house about 1O:30 last night. He lived about three hours and before he died he stated that he had been assaulted and robbed of about S200 which he had in his trousers pock- ct. His pocket was turned inside out. This afternoon the police arrested Err nest King of the oyster schooner Mi kado, New Haven, Conn.,, on suspicion of committing the crime. King, when arrested was considerably under the in- f1uence of liquor and could not tell connected story, but it was ascertained that he shaved twice last night in a shop not far from Vandars place of business, and the second time he had his mOutache cut off
 Vandal closed his store at 9 o'clock last night and after placing a roll of bills containing about $2OO in his trous CTS pocket went to a barber shop not far off to be shaved. In paying for the shave he displayed the bills. About an hour after Mrs Mark Fournier, who lives in a tenement in a yard near Nandal's house heard some one calling and going to the door discovered Van dal lying at the bottom of the steps. The injured man was taken to his home. About 1 o'clock in the morning he became unconscious and died.
 Near the place where Vandal was found the police found a broken base ball bat. Kings arrest took place about 1 o'clock this afternoon but the police have not charged him directly with the crime. He and Vandal were shaved at different shops. Friends of Vandal state that he had no enemies and believe that the assault was only committed for robbery.

 school, large and fashionable semi
 nary for young ladies conducted by
 Mrs. William D. Black, was partly de-
 stroyed by fire of unknown origin to-
 day and caused damage estimated at
 40,0C0
 Flames were discovered at o'clock
 this afternoon in one of the rooms on
 the third floor in the rear of what is
 known as the middle section, and al- though an alarm was immediately
 turned in, the flames spread rapidly be- fore the fire department arrived. Hard
 work by the firemen was the only thing that saved the entire seminary from
 being burned to the ground.
 The two upper floors of the middle section were swept by the fire and ad-
 joining rooms ill the other two sections of the building were also burned, but at
 this point the flames were checked. The entire building was flooded with water and the contents of many elaborately- furnished rooms were destroyed in this manner.
 The servants were the only persons in the building when the fire broke out, the young ladies of the seminary being away on their Christmas vacation, as were the instructors. Mrs Black, who conducts the school was in New York. Over one hundred students were regis tered at the school and the damage to the articles in the rooms of the young ladies, all of which were expensively decorated, cannot be estimated The loss on the building is covered by in-

the available seats in the House, excepting
those reserved for distinguished public
men, were occupied by persons who had no
proper right to be there. This in itself
is enough to cause the discharge of every
guilty employe Aside from that fact was
also noted the boorishness Of these same
employees in their dealings with the public
Many women as well as old men, and IN
two instances members, were rudely hurled
backward from the doors There was utter
lack of proper discipline, although the
crowd itself was orderly and decorous.
Perhaps Speaker Henderson will inquire
into the matter, but the chances are he
will not. This is the question
Who got the profit for selling the tickets,

Orthodox Hard to Find.

Scotch elder, who did not belieyethat his
own minister held strictly orthodox views,
wished to have his babe baptized, but
would not risk its spiritual welfare by hav-
ing him perform the right in any heterodox
manner. So his walked to another town
only to find the minister he sought was
away fishing. The next one he was directed
TO had gone hunting, Filled with indigna-
ton he said to his companion:
Wen gang to Master Erskine That
godly man will be no fishing or hunting"
So he found the house, but as he ap-
preached it he heard the sound of music.
When the servant lassie opened the door
he remarked to her
"Ye have company the night hear the
fiddle going"
Ma, ma, D." she answered, blushing, Robin
could ma play like you, but the minister
aye fddles bit afore he goes to bed"
The good man went away without making
his errand known. No minister who played
the fiddle could baptize his bairn, so he
went back to his own, who neither fshed,
hunted nor played forbidden music, and let
him name the child,

THE GOVERNMENT CLERK.
What They Are and What They
Should BE.

What They Are and What They
Should BE.
In all business enterprises employees are
supposed to have the interests Of their en-
ployer at heart and work for their mutual
interests for by so doing only could they
expect advancement, and we have
many good examples of this in the
railway officials who have been advanced
from subordinate to responsible positions.
The Government affairs were at 6rst sup
posed to be conducted upon these same
lines but oh how it has degenerated
To-day the average Government clerk
must be a toady, know nothing outside the
Office, and if they know anything inside the
Office it must be placed to the credit of some
political BUM, for a CHIEF or SUPERIN-
TENDENT, whose whole stock in trade is
his NPULL" and too often a foreigner
whose only interest in the country is the
dollars he can get out Of it, and who knows
as little Of the Constitution or laws and cares
less than a South Sea Islander.
Through the Swivel Service DEFORM"
these clerks have become imbued with the
idea that THEIRS is life Job so that all
they look forward to is pay day and holi-
days and'all the leaves Of absence they can
get, and if clerks attempts to serve the
Government honestly and have an opinion
of their own they are soon given to under
stand that THEIR bread is buttered, and
they had better look out about expressing
their opinions, no matter how much
kuavery and trickery they may see go
ing on.
OF course the LADY clerk is usually very
submissive and has been since the days Of
Spinner, although the large majority of the
lady clerks are as lady like and as bright
class as can be found anywhere yet there
are still too many that could be classed
under the Mormon ban, with this difference
that Brigham Young and his followers sup
ported their plural wives, while these later
day SAINTS put their concubines in posi-
ticn for the Government to support, and
this latter class are the ones that get the
favors Notwithstanding the Star papers
drivel about the merit system which it
knows is farce else how could that protege
Of the Star, who spends most of her time
walking corridors Of the POST OFFICE
DEPARTMENT have got promoted to SI4oo
just before the late Postmaster General
left
Without taking up more space we will
sum up the case in these few words: The
average clerk IS supposed to be deaf, dumb
and blind to whatever peeulations are going
on about them and say what a great and
good government this is and what a smart
and honest lot of men we have over MS.
even if they KNOW DIFFERENT

Asks For and Receives Information.
Editor Sunday Globe.
Readers of the GLOBE in this department
(Agricultural), from whence the informa-
ton about the Jew and Gentle" leaked
out, as published two weeks ago have ever
since been on the qHf vtSe tor another blast
OF the amours of this delectable couple.
Are they living single or double, or is il a
case of mutual attraction and affinity?
Washington city is a great trysting place
for AfatS0us of all ages, sexes, corors and
conditions Promiscuous indulgence in for
hidden fruit" (Eden's apples) IS apparently
immune in this community. Can you ex-
plain il, Mr. Editor READER.
(Oyes, Mr.. Reader, the explanation is very
easy. The departments in Washington are
stuffed, overcrOwded with a certain class,
male and female, who ought to be in some
other kind Of employment If this class
were subjected to physical labor surcharged
animal passion would largely vent itself
through the tender cuticle. In plain Lam
guage more readily comprehended, hard
manual labor would sweat out the overplus.
In the 'Jew wand Gentle" case we have done
our full duty II is not the province or bus
mess of the GLOBE to follow up cases once
exposed
We poin; out the way; let those in charge
of the public service. if they want to rid it
of Objectionable characters do the rest. We
are ready at all times to furnish names and
facts to the proper authorities in DfS as
we'll as in all Okhey cases exposed in the col
umus of the GLOBE. One of the insurmount-
able difficulties in the way Of reforming the
public service along this line, however, lies
in the well known fact that many of the
chiefs are not in position to Shy rocks at
anybody. ED. CLOBE.)

A Reef, sand Bank and a River


Lord Coleudge, the famous lord chief
justice, once recounted to Sir Mount Stuart
+. Graut-Duf an incident Of his earlier life.
He had to cross-examine an eminent pro-
fessional witness about proposed harbor
In the course Of doing so he said. But, Mr.
, isn't there a reef Of rocks that would
be a great Inconvenience TO you7"
"Oh, yes" replied the witness, "Un-
doubtedly there is, but we propose TO get
rid Of it IN such and such a manner"
Very good" rrjoined Coleridge, "but
when you have got rid Of il would there not
be a very awkward sand bank to contend
WITH"
Certainly" said the witness; but against
it we would provide thus and thus"
We'll, " answered Coleridge, bat when
you have removed both these obstacles
would you not still have a great deal Of
trouble from the current Of the river when
in hood2"
Clearly" was the answer, 'but we
should encounter that difficulty success
fully by another expedient. which the Wit
ness proceeded TO explain.
You have seen the place, have you not7"
said Coleridge.
''Oh, yes, " replied the other.
"Well, never did was the rejoinder, Il
have invented alike the reef, the sand bank
and the riverl"
