RESIGNS UNDER FIRE.
E. L. CrandaH, CiUI Service Eranl-
iner, Quits Rather than EGpLain.

Ernest L. Crandan, Civil Service examiner
at SO day. who is known in the 7th Assembly
District and at the City Hall "Sullivan's
man." resigned his office yesterday afternoon
under circumstances that call for a searching
investigation of his official conduct
President Baker of the Civil Service Commits
sion discovered last week that fraud had been
practised December % last in connection
with the examination Of police sergeants for pro-
motion. 1t found that through collision
with some one connected with the commission
substitution Of answers had been permitted with
the result that favored men turned in papers
that were Surprisingly perfect-so perfect, in
fact, that they excited the suspicion of the COM
mission, prompting an investigation.
Mr. Crandal who was appointed an examiner
while Van Wyck was Mayor. in 1899. has long
sustained confidential relations with the Sulli-
vans, and it has been known for some time that
the assistance of the Sullivans makes a big DIFF
ference with candidates for positions or promo
tiOns on the police force.
Mr.. Crandan lives at No. 27S Mulberry street.
in the 9th Assembly District, of which Little
Tim" Sullivan is leader. He was cited to ap-
pear last Saturday at 10 a m, before the COM
mission and explain certain things in connection
with the examination OF sergeants last Decem-
ber' when irregularities" were perpetrated. He
responded, but asked the commission to give
a little time in which to prepare himself. The
commission gave him till 100 p. m. On his re-
appearance he turned IN his resignation.
Mayor Mcclellan knows why CrandaH re-
signed Commissioners Baker and Talley know
why he resigned. Mayor Mcclellan would not
comment on the case last night. and Commits
siOner Baker intimated that the CrandaIl case
was a closed incident.
There are so many suspicious circumstances in
connection with the matter that 1t IS not likely
to be dropped or forgotten The commission has
ordered another examination and cancellation
of all the papers turned In on December Is.
There is a feeling of extreme nervousness at the
headquarters Of the commission, and little in
about Mr. CrandaI is obtainable.

to come to Richmond from Castle HIP
and spend much of her time here. read
lily found her again yesterday, so gently
has Time touched her in his passing,
and so entirely is her youth and beauty
the heritage of her womanhood, as II
was the gift of her girlhood.
The Princess Is frankly delighted to
find herself again in the capital city of
her native State. She is devoted to Vir-
ginla and to her former home in Abe
marie county, though she says that the
Italian climate Is everything wonderful.
and that life at Villa Ada, on Lagoa
Maggiore, is delight indeed. The villa
is named for Prince Troubetzkoy's
mother, and has the most wonderful
collection of trees brought by his late
father from Mexico, South America, the
West Indies and North America The
terraced garden has rhododendrons also,
only it's rhododendyons and oleanders

it's azalea walks extends on every side,

creeper trail luxuriantly wherever they

Here, with her gardan, her boat and
her books, the Princess leads the OUT,
of door life to which she is devoted,
spending hours on the lake and giving
much time to her literary work. Here,
she wrote. last spring, a drama. which
is to be brought out simultaneously
abroad and in America by John Lane,
under the title of "Augustine, the Man.

The drama is in four parts; Angus

Augustine In Cassicicum, and Augustine
at Tagaste, AS indicated. the scene
opens in Carthage, where Augustine has,
met and loved Melcam, the mother of
his son Adeodatus. Scene the second,
transfers the personages Of the drama
from Carthage To Milan. Here Angus
tine is converted by tbs preaching of
ST. Ambrose and afterward, moved by
ties of Monica, his mother, determines
to send Mecara back to Carthage to-
separate mother and son and TO place
Adeodatus In a. convent, with a view
OF his becoming q monk
The lad is delicate, and the remaining
scenes tell of his entrance into the con-
vent and OF his early death therc--il
tragic end to- a tragic chapter In the
history ,of Augustine the man, which
has hitherto been unfolded, when Angus
tine tho saint has been the subject Of
portrayal,
The Princess 'rroubetzkoy says that the
idea of this drama has haunted her for
years, and has given her mind food for
