C. 9. Reform League Wants q Promise
From COrtelyOu and Taggart.

The National Civil Service Reform League,
through Elliot II. Goodwin, secretary, has
sent to the chairman Of the Republican
and Democratic national committees a
letter asking their aid in preventing the
levying Of assessments for political pur-
poses on office holders. The letter quotes
the Federal law but goes further and says:
We believe that in free country, the col
lection OF such enforced contributions from
public servants of any grade or kind. whether
Federal, State or municipal, who make them
through fear lest refusal be followed by in
furious consequences TO themselves and
their families. is a grave scandal: we have
no doubt that such Is the belief OF honorable
and patriotic men whatever their politics
or party. throughout the Union. and we
request you. as good citizen, to join with
us In u protest against these wrongs.
We ask from you. therefore, a public
declaration that you recognize the right of
every man. whether in public or private
employ, to the wages Of his labor without
such molestation and that, so far as may
be in your power. you will see that no one
suffers because OF refusal to comply with
any demand for contribution made profess
eddy on behalf Of your committee or Of the
essat party which you represent.
The league proposes to publish the
answers it gets from Chairmen Cortelyou
and Taggart.

Noise From Station House Cells Mako
Tenants OF Apartment House Sad.

Tenants OF Apartment House Sad.
A delegation OF residents of an apart
ment house erected this summer at 152
East Thirty-ffth street, two doors west
of the police station, called last night to
protest to Capt. Shire against the noises
which proceed almost nightly from the
women's prison, directly in the rear of the
apartment house.
None of tho four compliments would
give his name, but all agreed that when
a man paid 81 900 year for an apartment
he ought to be protected from the un-
earthly music and none too delicate re-
marks OF the women prisoners. Capt.
Shire said he was sorry, but as he had no
authority to chloroform the women he
didn't think he could stop the nuisance.
The East Twenty-second street station
sends women prisoners to Thirty-fifth
str eet. The cells are generally crowded,
ana the occupants are usually the FOUNDERS
who spend their time travelling between
the East Side and Blackwell's Island. Capt.
Shire has had complaints from residents
of the neighborhood before. He has al
ways assured them that they would become
accustomed to the racket in time.

Peculiar Accident on the Erie.


Peculiar Accident on the Erie.
A carload Of dressed hogs in a freight
train eastbound on the Erie Railroad
Topped over at Grove street, jersey City,
about o'clock last night and blocked the
road for over an hour.
The freight train was moving slowly over
the trestle when the car turned over. 1t
was curious accident. which the railroad
men explained by saying that the dressed
porkers, loosely packed, got to swaying
from side to side and finally swayed the
car over.
1t was fortunate that the car did not
leave the trestle work or a bad wreck would
have been caused. 1t would have fallen
perhaps thirty feet to the street. As It
was, it turned over on its side and lay side-
wise across the tracks.
Passengers waiting in the Erie depot
at Jersey City heard that the cause OF the
delay was a wreck in the tunnel, and there
was a lot of excitement until it was found
that it was comparatively trivial 40

They were Scotchmen and had two
Scotch foremen. One of them, named Andrew
Shearer, who had an interest in Mr.. Catanach's

Mechanical Superintendent and caretaker of
the building, which work he did well for
many years until his death.
Their catechism of planning and building

way of honest building; the objectionable
sin is to skimp or. scant anything; and
that double and treble joists, columns and
foundations are better than the smallest risk.
