The Civil Service Commissioner
Charged with Violation of Law.
The Commission Appointed to Investi-
gate His Action in the Baltimore
Postofilco Affair Reports That He
Grossly Violated the Law.
\VASHINGTON, Nov. 28.——The Post, under
the caption “Is Roosevelt to Go?” prints
the following:
The Post gave to its readers some weeks
ago the details of an investigation of the
Baltimore postoffice made .by Mr. Roose-
velt under circumstances which then pro-
voked considerable comment. It occurred
upon the eve of a primary election, was
made at the suggestion of parties who
would be benefited by such action and
reached its climax when Mr. Roosevelt
appeared at the polls on election day.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
This inquiry was based on the alleged
violation of the civil service laws by dif-
ferengemployees of the office and resulted
in Mr. Roosevelt’s recommendation that
these employees be removed from office.
Aware of the onesided character of Roose-
velt’s reports, the postofiice department
determined to make an investigation for
itself.
Two of its most trusted inspectors were
sent to Baltimore with instructions to
make a thorough investigation. They
have .been employed at this labor for some
time, and The Post feels justified in stat-
ing that their report, a. copy of which is in
the hands of the postmaster general,
proves conclusively that the law had not
been violated by the employees of the
office, but instead, as is stated in the re-
port, it has been grossly violated by Mr.
Roosevelt, who acted in a partisan and
unfair manner.
His Removal Recommended.
The Post also feels justified in saying
that the report recommends Mr. Roose-
velt’s removal as a member of the com—
‘ mission.
The report is accompanied by a mass of
evidence, sworn to and given in detail,
. which substantiates every allegation made
in the report. The witnesses are men
whose standing cannot be questioned, and
the testimony shows that the investiga-
tion was conducted in an impartial man-
ner.
Flocking to lllm‘mnnisln.
NORTH BRANCH, Mich, Nov. 28.—A Mor-
mon elder named Taylor is converting the
people of Millis, a small place seven miles
southwest of here, by the score. Millis is
an old lumbering town, half abandoned.
and inhabited by a class of people pecul—
iarly susceptible to the influence of the
Mormon teaching. Taylor held meetings
in the open air most of the time, and the
country for several miles around became
excited. The people converted are mostly
poor, and the Mormon’s descriptions of
the wealth and luxury at Salt Lake were
alluring. Taylor proposes to stay all win-
ter to sustain the courage of his followers,
and will conduct the emigration .of con-
verts to Utah in the spring.
A Child Ground to Death.
ELIZABETH, N. J., Nov. 28.—Bridget Mc-
Eberly, eight years of age, started to or ss
the track just as the Lakewood express
came rumbling along. The child was so
frightened that she stood tremblingly
awaiting the coming of the big locomo-
tive. The engineer saw the figure ahead
on the track and reversed his locomotive,
but too late.' In an instant the huge en-
gine struck the child. There was afiash
of fluttering clothes, a scared, white,
upturned face, and then the wheels passed
over the body. The mangled remains
were taken to the morgue, and the child’s
parents were notified. The engineer was
wretched over the affair. No one appears
to have been to blame.
Wants the Democratic Convention.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 28.—Steps are being
taken by all the commercial exchanges
and business men generally to bring the
Democratic national convention to St.
Louis. The executive committee of the
Democratic national committee will meet
in Washington on Dec. 8, and it is ex-
pected that the various cities seeking the
convention will be represented in Wash-
ington during the meeting. Colonel Grif-
fith Prather, the national committeeman
for Missouri, will work hard to bring the
convention here.
Mexico After Garza.
LAREDO, Tex, Nov. 28.—Whi1e nothing
definite has been heard for several days of
the revolutionist Garza, the Mexican gov-
ernment seems at last to have taken a seri-
ous view of the situation. Transportation
has been ordered on the Mexican National
road for moving 2,000 troops from the city
of Mexico to the frontier. Two trains of
twenty-five cars each will arrive over that
road from the interior of Mexico and will
be distributed along the river front.
The Entire Crew Drowned.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 28.—During a heavy
fog on the Mersey an unknown steamer
ran into a bark, supposed to be the Har-
mony; Off the lightship. The steamer was
so badly damaged that she sank almost
immediately and her entire crew were
drowned. The bark lost her mast and her
hull was seriously damaged. She is now
anchored off the bar near the lightship.
Old but? Sound;
CINCINNATI, Nov. 28.—-—Mrs. Catherine
Hemphill, of Dayton, Ky., celebrated Fri-
day her ninety-ninth birthday. She has
ninety-two living descendants, half of
whom are present at today’s festivities.
Mrs. Hemphill’s physical and mental con-
dition Is as good as that usually possessed
bra woman of fifty.

PUG H ANSWERS CARLISLE.
He Denies That the Silver Men- IVill
.4 bandon the Tariff Issue.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Senator Pugh,
of Alabama, has written a letter denying
emphatically a statement made by Sena-
tor Carlisle that any Democratic senator
or congressman who supports the free
coinage of silver has expressed any desire,
intention or purpose to abandon or ignore
the vital issue of tariff reform.
“All that the friends of silver demand,”
says Senator Pugh, “is that .the Demo-
cratic partyin every national convention
has done, without a single exception, keep
the taxation and currency together as co-
ordinate and coequal subjects of remedial
legislation. Neither tariff reform nor
financial reform has ever been ignored or
abandoned, or one subordinated to the
other in any Democratic platform during
the lifetime of the party.
“If the friends of silver are to be classed
as unwise counselors and unsafe leaders
because they insist that the silver issue
shall not be abandoned or ignored in the
presidential contest of 1892, but that it
shall go hand in hand and receive the
same treatment with all Other issues made
in the Democratic platform, especially
when they are so classed and condemned
at the instance and in the interest of those
Democrats who throttlcd the free coinage
bill in the last house of representatives.
All the friends of silver have to say is that
- they are accustomed to such classification
and hope to be able to persevere in the
vindication of their convictions and integ-
rity. ,
“As Democrats and friends of free coin-
age they protest against being retired
from the councils of the Democratic party
because they are unwilling to allow the
corporals guard of gold representatives to
dictate to the friends of silver and silence
and postpone them in their just demands
until the veto power can be put in the
hands of a Democrat for four years, to be
exercised against any adjustment of the
silver question except on the formula to
be furnished by the wise counselors and
safe leaders to be found only in the neigh-
borhood of \Vall street.”
Palmer and the Rebel Flag.
BROOKLYN, Nov. 28.-—At abanquet given
in his honor, General John Palmer, com~
mander in chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, said in the course of an address:
“There is no class of men on God’s earth
that are half so appreciated for their valor
and gallantry, or that so reflected credit
on American Valor, and whom we are so
willing to forgive, as the soldier of the
south. But we cannot forget the. loss of
hundreds of millions of money and Of the
lives of hundreds of thousands Of men
who are now lying in their graves because
of the rebellion. In doing honor to the
people of the south they should not con—
front us with that ' stinking Old rag Of
treason.”
A Miraculous Escape.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—'l‘hirteen horse car
passengers and a red hot stove were reeled
head over heels in front of a switching
engine, and though the car was reduced
almost to kindling wood by the locomo-
tive and took fire from the stove, the pas-
sengers were not killed, though all were
more or less injured. The car was square-
ly in front of the engine when the locomo-
tive was suddenly started. The horse car
was overturned again and again. Mean-
time the people scrambled Out as best
they could. It is said the engineer and fire-
men were under the influence of Whisky.
Cyrus \V. Field's Old Firm Fails.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.--Edward M. Field,
Daniel Lindley, John Frederick \Viechers
and Herman C. l-leimers, composing the
firm of Field, Lindley, VViechers & Co..
bankers and brokers at 1 Broadway, Wash-
ington building, assigned today to Charles
W. Gould without preferences. Mr. Cyrus
W. Field retired from the firm last April.
They are said to have been short of corn
in Chicago, which they carried for Mr.
White, of this city, who recently failed,
and when they sold out their cash corn
they did not cover the November option.
The reason assigned for the failure is
that Mr. Edward W. Field, who is the son
of Cyrus W. Field, has gone crazy. .
Two Life Convicts Pardoned.
BOSTON, Nov. 28.—According to custom,
the governor pardoned two state prison
convicts on Thanksgiving day. The for-
tunate men are Charles A. Briggs, who
was committed in 1881 on a life sentence
for murder in the second degree in killing
Charles Slauson' because of jealousy on
account of Briggs’ wife, and Thomas H.
McMullen, who was sentenced for life in
April, 1882, for murder in the second de-
gree in killing his wife. ' a,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28.-—-'l‘he chief offi-
cers of the. Knights of Labor do not antici-
pate any loss of membership as a result of
the refusal of the general assembly, at T0
ledO, to institute a uniformed rank. One
of the executive Oflicers remarked today:
“All the uniform that the knights used is
the well known button In the lapels of
their coats. Anything additional would
simply tend toward making a circus OI

['he Matter ”ought to Light by.the
Death of the Man Who Tried to
Ontdo Succi—hlillionaire Beals’
Two-year-old Son Stolen.
CORTLAND, N. Y., Nov. 28.——The death in
New York of G. Henry Stratton, who tried
to break Succi’s fasting record, has brought
to light the fact that Sheriff Bothwick
and the father of the missing Charlie Ross
have been seeking for two years to iden-
tify an adopted son of Stratton as Charlie
Ros's.
Sheriff Bothwick said today: “It is not
known that Strattou was a married man.
He scparatel from his wife, who is now in
Minneapolis, many years ago. The separa-
gtiibn was caused by Stratton introducing
dbto the family a. boy, whom, he said, he
had adopted. Mrs. Stratton did not want
the boy in the family, and when she gave
her husband the choice between herself
and the boy, he chose the boy.
Believes He Is Charlie Ross.
“This boy I believe was none other than
Charlie Rose. I will not say, until I have
concluded my investigation, why I believe
this. When Straitton came to this village
he brought the hey with him. He was
known as Fred Stratton, although Strat-
ton admitted that he was not the boy’s
fat-her. I have been corresponding with
Mr. loss, in Philadelphia, for some time,
and many little incidents related by the
boy has led Mr. Ross to believe that Fred
Stratton may be his son.
“In some way Stratton learned of what
I knew and sent the boy to Denver. I had
many talks with the boy before he was
sent away and what I learned I am not
now at liberty to say. Now, as Stratton
is (lead, I believe much more will come to
light. Strut-ton was a very peculiar man;
he would never tell where he got the boy.
There are many things about him that
carries out my belief.
A Big Factor in Stratton’s Life.
“This boy has out quite a figure in Strat-
.-cn’s life. Besides separating him from
his wife he prevented him from marrying
a Brooklyn lady of wealth. She frequently
came to this village to see Stratton, and
would have married him but for the fact
that he persisted in having this boy with
him.”
Sherifi Bothwick showed many letters
which he had received from Mr. Ross. He
says he'will continue his investigation un-
til his belief is either confirmed or de-
stroyed. Sheriff Bothwick is not a man
to believe without reason.
A Millionaire's Son Eidnapcd.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 28.—This place was
startled last night by the bold kidnaping
of the two—year-old son of David T. Beals,
president of the Union National bank and
a millionaire capitalist of this city, well
known also throughout the west. The
child is regarded by his parents with
peculiar favor and they are nearly heart-
broken. The kidnaping was done by the
waitress, known as Lizzie Smith. Just as
the family was finishing dinner the wait-
ress remarked that she would go after the
she had been gone but a
few minutes when Mr. Beale missed the
child, which had been playing in the hall
with two of his grandchildren. Search
was immediately made for the servant
and child, but no trace whatever of them
can be found. Mr. Beals at once put the
case in the hands of the city police and the
Pinkertons. ‘
A Broker Charged with Theft.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—-Cumberland G.
White, once a prosperous broker, doing
business at 9 New street, was committed
to the Tombs to await trial on a charge of
grand larceny preferred against him by
Mrs. De Silver. The latter charges that
on June 1 last she gave him two $1,000
bonds of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railway, which be disposed of and
then fled from the city. He was arrested
in Chicago some time subsequently, but
he managed to get his freedom on a tech-
nicality. He was arrested a few days ago
at Laporte, Ind., and brought to this city.
Blew His Baby’s Head Off.
JASPER, Ind., Nov. 28.-—While hunting
on his farm near here, Thomas Atkins was
attracted by his dog snuffing at a hollow
log, and filed his shotgun into it, thinking
it was probablya catamount which had
been carrying off sheep. Upon investiga
tion the farmer found that he had blown
the head off his baby boy, who had mis-
chievously crawled into the hole, and was
laughing at its father when the shot came.
The man became a hopeless maniac, and
had to be lodged in an asylum.
A Relic of Bygone Days. '
WENHAM, Mass, N ov. 28.—An old iron

Wenham lake. It is believed that it was
operated about the year 1040. Some of the
iron found gave evidence of having been
mined and smeltcd. It is what is known
as bog iron.
