Ricumoxp, Dec. 4.—The general assembly of Virginia met today and both branches pro- ceeded to the election of officers. The senate was called to order by Lieut. Gov, John E. Massey and the house of delegates by its clerk, John Bell Bigger. According to the result of the democratic caucus last night the following officers were elected and installed: President pro tem. of the senate, John L. Hurt; clerk, Dr. J. D. Pendleton; sergeant-at-arms, Z. T. Weaver; doorkeeper, W. D, Haynes. House of delegates—Speaker, R, H. Cardwell; clerk, John B. Bigger; sergeant-at-arms, J. P. Martin; first doorkeeper, A. O, Sullivan; second door- keeper, E. T. Kindred. These were simply old officers renominated, The senate will not be presided over by the newly elected lieutenant governor until after the inauguration of the gubernatorial ticket elected in November, which will be January 1, A MISSING LINK, The returns are all in and certified to accord- ing to law, except from one county, that of Scott, which is located in the extreme south- west portion of the state. The full returns of that conhty gave a democratic majority of 14, but the ‘county commissioners, democrat threw out one precinct for irregularity, whic! gave a democratic majority of 15. This elected the republican candidate by one vote. The clerk of the county, a republican, refused, at the instance of the republican candidate, to certify to the returns, und in this shape the matter will come before the legislature itself for judgment. It is believed that Mr. Craft, the democratic candidate, will be seated, as the whole question hangs on a technical point. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS. As soon as the two houses are fully organized this afternoon the usual committce will be ap- pointed to wait upon the governor and announce their readiness to receive any communication he may have to make, . Aresolution has been prepared and will doubtless be adopted fixing tomorrow (Thurs- day) at 12:30 o'clock for the members of the two bodies to meet in joint assembly and can- vass the vote for governor and lieutenant gov- ernor in the hall of the house. Thestate board of canvassers canvass all the returns except the above, which is done by the legislature in joint assembly. A joint caucus of democrats will be held to- night on organization and on Thursday and Friday nights the nomination of basement of- ficers will begin and then an exciting time may be anticipated. MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA OYSTER QUESTIONS. Gov. Lee on Monday invited Gov. Jackson to Richmond to talk over their differences about the Hog Island question over an oyster stew yesterday afternoon. Gov. Lee received a tele- gram from Gov. Jackson expressing his regret of his inability to accept the same, but sug- gested that a day be fixed to hold a conference in Washington to consider the matter, which they will doubtless do when the governors of the thirteen original states meet there, proba- bly next week. ——— ee STANLEY SEES SALT WATER. He is Within 50 Miles of Zanzibar. Pants, Dec. 4.—A dispatch to the Temps from Zanzibar announces that Stanley has arrived at Bagamoyo. Bagamoyo is on the sea coast 50 miles south of Zanzibar and within signaling distance of the English consulate. Tomorrow's dispatches will doubtless report the great traveler at Zan- ziber and his own story of his journey will be forthcoming. a, A DEADLY ACCIDENT. A Gang of Men Sclssored Between Two Railroad Trains, WIrxesBanre, Pa., Dec. 4.—A shocking ac- cident occurred at 6:30 o'clock this morning at the Hazel street crossing of the Jersey Central railroad. Several hundred men were waiting at the Hazel street station for the labor train. A number of them walked up the track to mect it, Suddenly a fast freight from the south came at a high speed. The men jumped from the north-bound track to the south- bound, when the labor train, rushing around a sharp curve, plunged into their midst, In their scrambling many were thrown down or against the two trains, fo men were struck by the freight and two by the labor train. Benjamin Polsue, aged sixty, was in- stantly killed; Wm. Brent. aged sixty, was cut in half; Steven Steffel, a Polander, aged thirty years, had his head crushed and leg cut off; he will die; Conrad Ernst, aged thirty years, skall fractured; his injuries will probably ‘prove fatal. ——. GLADSTONE AT MANCHESTER, The Reforms Asked by the English Lib- eral Party. Mancarster, Dec. 4.—The liberal federation today approved a resolution to demand urgency atthe coming session of parliament for a bill embodying the “one-man-one-vote” principle. Resolutions were adopted for, a shorter duration of parliament; to reduce the alifying period of residence for voting to three months; for compulsory powers to ac- quire allotments; for abolition of the duties on tea, coffee and cocoa; for a direct popular vote on the liqour trafic question, and for the dis- establishment of the church of England. Mr. Gladstone. speaking at a reception in the town hall accorded him by the citizens of Man- chester, regardless of party lines, dilated upon the value of municipal institutions. They were among the best guarantees of social security, through the improvements they effected in the life and condition of the masses, Boe CHARGING FRAUD IN OHIO, Contest Over the Lieutenant Governor- ship Begun. Corvunvs, Ono, Nov. 4.—Mr. Marquis, de- feated democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, today served notice of contest upon Mr. Lampson, republican lieut. governor-elect, ‘The charges are that illegal ballots were cast in nearly every county, and in Hamilton and one other county nearly every ‘inct furnishes its quota of alleged frau It is charged that ballots were marked for fraudulent pur- poses in some counties and that an over- whelming amount of corruption will be devel- oped. ——_.— ‘With a Lawyer to Steer Them.

WINDOM ON CIVIL SERVICE.| AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT. |THE ROCK CREEK PARK BILL. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY. Provisions of the Measnre to be Con-| The Building Inspector on Fire Escapes He Says the Beneficial Influences of the Law are Clearly Apparent. On the question of the civil service law Secre- tary Windom, in his annual report, says: It is my belief that the personnel and efficiency of the service have been in no way lowered by the present method of ap- Pointments to clerical positions in the department, The beneficial influences of the civil service law in its practical workings are clearly apparent. Hav- ing been at the head of the department both before and after its adoption, I am able to judge by comparison of the two systems, and ave no hesitation in pronouncing the present condition of affairsas preferable in all respects. Under the old plaa appointments were usually made to please some one under political or other obligations to the appointee, and the question of fitness was not always the control- ng one. The temptation to make removals, only to provide pisces for others, was always present and constantly being urged by stroug influences, and this restless and feverish condition of dopartmental life did much to distract and disturb the oven current of routine work. Under instrumentalities which are now used to secure selections for clerical places the department has some as- surance of mental capacity, and also of moral worth, as the character of the candidates is as- certained before examinatoin. ‘The manifold duties of the departmentrequire the closest application on the part of the Sec- retary and his assistants, and the freedom from importunity now enjoyed for appointments to places that are within the classitied service, and the saving of valuable time hereto- fore devoted to the distribution of minor onage, aro of very great advantage, and enable these officers to devote hiore thought to the important 'qnestions of ad- Minigtration constantly arising, The clerks re- eived from tho eivil service commission ally adapt themselves readily to the duties they are called upon to perform, and rank among the most efticient in the department. ‘This department has for the past twenty years conducted examinations, under its own regulations, for promotions in its service, and employes have been advanced from one grade tothe next highest only after having passed a standard examination intended to demonstrate their capability as compared with those who have already reached the higher grades and to test their familiarity with, and proficiency in, the special work upon which they have been engaged. ‘This system of promotion has worked satisfactorily and reaches beyond the ascertainment of individual excellence, Clerks have the fact constantly before them that to gratify a laudable ambition for ad vance- ment they must always be prepared, ay the opportunity for promction may come at any time, to submit to tests which will disclose their aptitude, their diligence and their knowledge of the class of work they have beon performing. It keeps the service in better form and relieves the ap- pointing power of much persistent persuasion ‘om outside sources to elevate clerks who are illy prepared to fill the higher grades. Among the few positions in the de- partment excepted from the operation of the civil service law are the special agents, whose duties are very important and require abilities of a superior order. It has therefore been thought best before appointment to sub- ject the selected applicant to a test of his fit ness for the place, and this has been done dur- ing the past few months with excellent results, The advisability of pursuing the same course with chiefs of ‘divisions is having serious con- sideration at this time, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. FOR ILLUMINATING THE CITY. Gas and electric light cdme in on the scene simultancously in Senator Call’s reintroduced bill, which empowers the District Commission- ers to contract with the lowest bidder for the illumination of the city of Washington and the publie buildings of the city. the illuminating power being either gas or electricity, A SANITARY ENGINEER. Senator Call reintrodaced two of his bills of last session—‘*To authorize the appointment of a sanitary engineer in the District of Columbia.” The bill provides for the appointment of an engineer who shall inspect the lumbing and the sewers in the istrict and wio shall in return for such ser- vices receive an annual compensation of either $2,500 or One of bills gives to the President of the United States the honor of appointment, the situa- Commission- while the other places jon in the hands of the District be hanged in New York nwuntig ie wd w York on Thursday for killing @ voliceman, David J. Brewer Nominated to Fill the Supreme Court Vacancy. The President sent to the Senate today the nomination of David J. Brewer of Kansas to be associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Judge Brewer ig a nephew of Justice Stephen J. Field, He has United States judge for the eighth circuit of Kansas since 1884, suc- ceeding Judge Geo. W. McCrary, who‘ was Sec- retary of War under President Hayes, Mr. Brewer was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, June 20, 1837, and was educated at Wesleyan uni- versity and at Yale. He studied law in the oftice of his uncle, David Dudley Field, and afterward graduated at the Albany law school. He was admitted to the bar in New York city, but in 1559 removed to the west, where he practiced his profession first in Kansas City, Mo., and afterward in Leavenworth, Kan, 1861 he was appointed U.S. commissioner, in 1862 jadge of probate and judge of the county criminal court. From 1865 to 1869he was judge of the first judicial court of the state and at the same time superintendent of public schools, In 1869-70 he was city attorney for Leaven- worth and in the following year was appointed judge of the supreme court of Kansas, He was also vice president, afterward president, of the state board of education. This is the first in- stance in the history of the United States Su- preme Court of two men as nearly related as are Judge Field and Judge Brewer being on the bench at the same time. Judge Brewer's father, Rev. Josiah Brewer, was a missionary to Asia Minor when the justice was born, but returned to this country when David was three years old. By a strange coin- cidence Judge Brower graduated in the same class at Yale with Judge Brown of Detroit and John Mason Brown of Kentucky, both of whom were prominently named in connection with the appointment.” The appointment is geuerally well received. Justice Miller, over whose circuit Justice Brewer has presided, aks of him in the warmest terms, ranking tim among the ablest judges on the bench. Dr. Morrison Mumford, editor of the Kansas City Times, says the appointment will give satisfaction to all parties in Kansas, The nominatton was apparently most satis- factory to the two Senators from Kansas, Senator Ingalls and Senator Plumb spoke of him in the highest possible terms, and it was evident that Judge Brewer had had the ad- vantage of their solid support, RECESS APPOINTMENTS, The President also sent to the Senate as nom- inations a number of recess appointments. These included those of Minister Phelps and other diplomatic appointments, District Com- inissioners Douglass and Hine, Publie Printer Palmer, Civil Service Commissioners Roosevelt and Thompson, Commissioner of Pensions Raum, Superintendent of Census Porter, Com- missioner of Indian Affairs Morgan, Commis- sioner of Railroads Taylor, Commissioner of Education Harris, Land Commissioner Groff, Assistant Land Commissioner Stone, Mr. Town- send, recorder of the land oftice; Dr. Dor- chester, superintendent of Indian schools, THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE, What the District Commissioners Say About It. Speaking of the President's message to a Star reporter Commissioner Douglass said: “The President's message is an able, manly document, standing by honest methods as well as sound principles in public affairs. Hi reference to District matters mean that he it tends to give a constant care to our local inter- ests and needs, The District will find in hima faithful friend in all that concerns its moral and material progress,” Commissioner Hine said: ‘The President's message is a practical effort, full of interest and suggestion, It strikes a popular cord and is especially gratifying to the people of the District of Columbia.” Commissioner Raymond said: “I have read the message with a great deal of interest and think it an excellent document.” 2 ~ CAPITOL TOPICS, THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, The chief of engineers today transmitted to the Senate a report on the progress of the Con- gressional library building construction, stat- ing that the cellar story had been ome up to the level of the ground surface, including the basement floor. In all probability, Gen. Casey says, the work will be completed by the time named in the last report. THERE Is A RUSH FOR MINOR PLACES under the officers of the House, The various delegations who voted for Mr. Reed for Speaker are being set upon by every manner of man and boy for indorsements for assistant door- keeper, for places in the document room, for all the offices there are under the postmaster and sergeant-at-arms, for appointments on the force of pages, and for all other places in the gilt of the House, APPOINTMENTS ON THE HOUSE SIDE. Clerk McPherson has made the following appointments: Charles R.

The first petition against the passage of alaw establishing a national and compulsory Sab- bath was presented today by Senator Cockrell. Fifty-six residents of Ralls and Pike countics, shed the paper. NOTES, Illinois republicans want to have all that be- longs to them in the line of House committee representation and patronage, so yesterday af- ternoon the “Sucker” caucus appointed Repre- sentatives Cannon, Mason and Hopkins a com- mittee to look out for the interests of its mem- bers, including themselves, Clerk McPherson of the Honse has appointed Ralph Nutting, a son of the late Representative Nutting of New York, a page in the press gal- lery of the House. A Pension Decision. Assistant Secretary Bussey today rendered a decision on the pension claim of Chas, E. Reynolds, late of company D, first battalion, twelfth United States infantry. Reynolds’ ap- plication was filed August 4, 1879, in which is alleged as a basis of his claim an unjustifiable assault upon him by Lieut, Pond of his company, who struck him with his sword on the left side and top of his head, indenting the skull and injuring him for life. The claim was originally rejected September 13, 1882, on the ground that tho claimant was not in line of duty when he received the injury. Further evidence has been produced and the assistant secretary finds that the soldier received his injuries while in the line of duty and directs that his name be placed upon the pension rolls.

There is no law which the building inspector (Entwisle) thinks should be moro rigidly en- forced than the one requiring the placing of fire escapeson large buildings, Yesterday he submitted a letter to the Commissioners call- ing their attention to the law of Jan- uary 26, 1887, the subsequent appoint- ment of a committee to decide upon the form of fire escape and the order providing that they be placed upon sixty-one buildings Only thirty-four, he says, have partially com- plied with the law and but one has fully com- plied. He then gives a brief history of the law, how application was made to have it revoked and how Attorney Riddle, in an opinion, stated that the law was so defective that it could not be enforced. He says this opinion was equal to cancelling all orders. He submits that it is a mecessity, if the law is defective, to have it amended by Congress in such a way as to permit of its strict enforcement, He suggests farther the desirability of an elevator inspector, as the law passed by Congress and approved March 3, 1887, requiring their inspection is inoperative until there is provision to pay an inspector.
