Obituary Record.-The death this
week of Mrs. Martha Gowdy takes
from this earth another of, the few
surviving members. of that corps Of
pioneer Illinoisans to whom is due the
credit for making the middle west
what it is today. Mr.. Gowdy and fam
lily resided here many years and he
was a veteran flagman on one of the
local crossings. Four or five months
ago. after their fathers death, the two
daughters went to White Sulphur
Springs. Mont. and are proprietresses
of hoStelry there. Away back in the
pioneer days MIR. Gowdy was a stage
coach driver and one of his richest
memories was of the time when Abra-
ham Lincoln, his warm personal
friend, was his passenger. The death
of Mrs. Gowdy in Springfield, Mass
reunites this pioneer couple in the
great beyond" after a brief separa-
tion. Mr.. Gowdy's body is buried in
this state.

SEE POSSIBILITY
OF OVERTHROW OF
CIVIL SERVICE LAW
State Officials Discuss PrOba-
biIity of Action by Court of
Errors and Appeals.
sgrom a stan Correspondent

TRENTON, May 29.-The possibility
of the overthrow of the civil service
law, or that section of it applying to
county and municipal officials, by the
Court of Errors and Appeals, is being
seriously discussed by State officials
and by the members of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. The cases now before
the courts are those of the Republicans
appointed to take the places of the
Democrats thrown out by the Board
of Freeholders that came into office
this year. The point on which their
fight is based is whether the State has
the right to delegate legislative powers
to a commission.
The defenders of the law hold that
the State has a perfect right to step
in and determine who shall be en-
ployed in county and municipal posi-
lions. On the other hand. it is main
tanned hat such power is a violation
of the principle of home rule and es-
tabllshes the right of the State to have
a hand in local affairs Of any charac-
ter. The question does not affect the
holders of State positions.
The only local governments that
have adopted the provisions Of the law
are Essex county, Newark, South Or
ange village Inc Jersey City.

MATTHEW LYNCH TELLS OF
HIS HOTTEST BATTLE.
Newark Veteran Wonders How
Any Survived SpOttsylvania.

One it is set up and in action moth
ing contributes SO much to the artistic
effect of a battle and the list of casual
ties as the heavy artillery. Nothing
contributes so much to the success of
heavy artillery as the gun crew. They
ere always featured in every battle in
which they are engaged, and the MEM
bers deserve a lot Of credit.
For four years, when the North and
South were at war, Matthew Lynch be-
longed to Company E, Seventh New
York heavy artillery. During his first
three years as a soldier his regiment
did garrison duty around Washington
waited for a foe WHICH was expected
every day but which did not quite come
through.
MI. Lynch is 70 years old now, but he
has a vivid remembrance of his cam
~paigning in "a, which made up for the
three years of comparative idleness.
At his home, 10S North Canal street.
Mr.. Lynch, who is a comrade of Phil
Sheridan Post, was induced to talk of
his war experiences.
II remember said he, "the battle of
Spottsylvania Court House, just as if
it were yesterday. 1t was the hottest
session 1 ever saw When l. think of
it now it seems almost a miracle that
anybody lived to tell about 1t. So
many shells were flying around that
they almost clogged the air. Firing
began about shutdown and kept up all
night. 1t vas sure war, and vol know
what war is"
Mr.. Lynch also fought in the battles
Of Milford Station, North Anna, Cold
Harbor, Deep Bottom, Strawberry
Plains and Weldon Railroad.
1t is safe to say there will not be a
more active veteran in line on Monday
than Matthew Lynch.
