Conspiracy to Violate the Civil Ser- vice Law. The United States civil service commls- sion has been notified of the arrest, at Erie, Pa., of William C. Ebisch, chief mall- ing clerk; Edward L. Liebel, substitute let- ter carrier, and William J. Bruce, formerly general utility clerk in that office, on charges of general conspiracy and violation of provisions of the civil service act. Ebisch was the secretary of the board of civil service examiners for the Erie office, and it is alleged that Bruce and Ebisch furnished Liebel a copy of the questions to be asked in a letter carriers’ examination, and a complete set of answers thereto. The expert examiner of the commission dis- covered evidences of the fraud, and Mr. George B. Hoyt, one of its trusted em- ployes, succeeded in obtaining confessions before the United States attorney for the western district of Pennsylvania. It is probable that each of the three will plead guilty, in which event the commission will not be disposed to ask for anything beyond the lightest penalty in each case, as this, in connection with the removal of Ebisch and Liebel from the postal service, it is be- Heved, will deter others from attempting a like Infraction of the civil service law. The commission's means of detecting frauds of the character named are said to be so perfect that escape is very difficult. Persons unacquainted with the checks in vogue, it is said, are very Hable to think that fraud is easy and detection difficult, but in this they are quite mistakgn. ee Turned Over to Bonrd of Guardians. Mrs. Emily Barton, an old colored wo- man, who wag kind enough to care for a colored infant for a strange woman, turned the infant over to Agent Wilson of the Humane Society, when she discovered that the woman was not going to return, and today the child was turned over to the board of children’s guardians by Judge Kimball. Charged With Stealing a Buggy.

He plead not guilty and waived an examination. The case was sent to the grand jury and the prisoner was committed to jail in default of $500 secur- ity. ———— A Badly Damaged Face. Last night about 8:30 o'clock there was a fight on N street northwest between 4th and 5th streets between two colored men, William Parker and William Semley. When the police appeared the fight was about over, but Parker was arrested and Semley was sent to the hospital. At the hospital the doctors found that the patient’s face was painfully cut and his nose was almost severed from his face. The wounds were dressed and this morning he appeared in court with his head and face almost com- pletely covered with bandages. Counsel for Parker demanded a jury trial and the case went over. Ss Mary Underwood. @ colored woman, ar- rested for the larceny of two dresses, w: given ainety days in jail by Judge Kimbail today.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOW! The Flimflam Game Suocessfully W by @ Sharper, A Woman the Victim to the Extent| of $7—Other Interesting Items, 4a mops ty The “filmflam” game was worked last evening successfully. Miss M. BE. Mix- ter was the victim, and the “worker” a) Beau Brummel in appearance. The frutt! of the effort was $7. The man entered Mixter’s fancy store at 1319 324 street with| fifteen $1 bills and an addressed and starap-| ed envelope in his hand, and requested that} she give him a $5 and $10 bill for his ones, as he desired to mail the money in as small a bulk as possible. Miss Mixter had but) one $5 bill in the draw, which she gave for five ones. This the fellow put in his envelope. Then he requested that she give) him two ones for their equivalent in silver. He shoved over hurriedly, though, but seven’ quarters and a nickel, and apparently’ Placed the additional greenbacks in the en- velope. Miss Mixter then discovered that she was 20 cents short, ard spoke to the! man.

He went out, and with him Miss Mixter’s money, the envelope he haa left later proving a stuffed one. The lady waited a long time for his return, and becoming suspicious, took what had been left her to the station. What had money-green through the thin letter cover- ing was only worthless paper of similar hue. The escape was complete. Last Sat- urday a dealer on the same block was “filmflammed” in the same way out of $1. ‘The Falls Church Electric Road, The stoppage of work on the line of the proposed electric road from the Aqueduct bridge to Falls Church just when things appeared booming in that direction created so much concern here that Dr, L. W. Ritchie, a railroad enthusiast, wrote re- cently to President Chas. 8. Hinchman of Philadelphia relative to the construction. Mr. Hinchman replied in substance that the line would be built within six months from the raising of a bonus of $50, to be deposited in a mutually sa! trust company, to be paid only on comple- tion of the road from Falls Church to Ross- lyn and the installation of regular passen- ger and freight service. The bonus ts deemed unreasonably large, —— in all probability will not be raised. Dropped Dead on a Canal Boat. On Tuesday evening Henry J.
