THE OMAHA DALy BEE THIRTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, NEB., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE NO. 247 UPSET. The Civl Service R-guletions Being Ovorhanted. Financial Failure of the New Orleans Exposition, More Epoils Bequeathed—The Oab- inet Shuts Down on Visitors— Depariment Gossip, THE DAY IN WASHINGTON, GENEBAL EVENTS, ‘WasHINGTON, June 8.—The Post printa the following: Joseph B, Fowler, dismissed from the position as chief of the pension division of the third auditor's office of the treasury de- partment, yesterday was appointed a third class clerk in the same division, a position within the classification of civil service. This appointment raises another question for the civil service commission. It is said to be illegal on the ground that Fowler’s dismissal severed his connection with the government and it is held that he could not be reappointed withont going through the civil service examination and being legally certified. Should the com- mission deciue thel]rpflintment legal the head of the bureau could remove the chiefs of divislons and fill the positions by appointment under the precedent made in the case of Fow- ler, that these appointees can be reduced to clerks, tha removal of the latter creating the desired vecancies, New chiefs of divisions can then be appointed. The reduction of Mr. Fowler to a third class clerkship from the position of chief, which was excepted from the civil service rules, was made according to the rules which provide that if aman was appoiated and ac- cepted position—that i & position not pro- tected by the law—before the law was passed, he may be reduced to the classified rank, but * 1f he was appointed since the passace of the law he cannot be 8o reduced, Commissioner Gregory informed a reporter to-day that there had been several such cases, two or three in the treasury, one in the post- office and some in the other departments, and the reduction had been uniformly allowed. ‘When the official had held his office before the law went into effect in one case a man who waa chief exchanged places with a third- olass clerk. But this, he eaid, did not open up a way for averting the civil service exam- ination, as any man now appointed to be chief of division, would be debarred trom the ciassified service, excopt through the reg- ular course, Tha law is very clear on the subject, and no attempt is being made to evade it. Bixth Auditor of the Treasury McConville, g to-day of the recent changes in his said they wero made for the purpose of increasing the efliclanng of the service. There were 870 clerks in the office, and he thought of this number there were probably sixty whose servicea could be dispenged with This number of changes would mnot be made immediately, but would take place He had made no discharges except for cause, and when vacancies occurred in the classitied service he depended on the civil service o mpfly the new material. He observed the ciyil service lawa, and knew of no instances where it had been violated. He did not be- lieve there was any disposition on the part of the administration to disregard the rules. The president has amended rule 9 of the civil service rules, relating to the examination of applicants to office, by inserting after the words ‘‘no person dismi from the public service for misconduct” and before the words “'shall be admitted to examination within two yoars thereafter,” the following words, “‘and 10 person who has not been absolutely ap- pointed or employed after probation.” The comptroller of the currency to-day ex- tended the corporate existence of the First Natlonal b: of Grinnell, Ta, for a period of twenty ye o) The secretary of the treasury has received from the board of .managers of the world’s industrial exposition, at New Orleans, a statement of the indebtedness, of which the following is a recepitulation: *Undisputed indebtedness, $253,345; disputed indebted- nees claimed, 8160,337; rejected, $72.762; ad- mitted, 77,585; premiums, $05,388; total amount of claime, $397,318; appropriations, $335,000; differences, $602,381.

Odlum Aloll= Responsible, New Youk, June 84— A coroner’s jury to- day listened to testimouy in regard to Prof. Odlum’s fatal jump from Brooklyn bridge. Among the witnesses were Capt Paul Boy- ton and Coleridga H. Herbert, an intimate friend of the deceased. Both declare that ef- forts had been made to dissuade Odlum from attempting the feat, but ho was determined to make the jump, His object, they said, was tomake a reputatiom whioh would enable him toobtain evgagements and give exhibitions during the summer at the seaside resorts, Capt Boyuton said there certainly were no in- ducements held out to the deceased by parties in this city, Some parties in Philadelphis who were much iuterested in the under- taking might have done so, Just provious to the night Odlum attempted the feat ho was in tolegraphic communication with men in Phila- dulphia, axd a party was to come on to ses the jump, On kearing of its fatal termination they returned home immediately so their con- nection with the affair would” not be made public. The jury announced by its verdict that Odlum died from injuries caused b jumping from the bridge, of ns own free will. ————— Depredations ot Horse Thieves, Baker Ciry, Ocegon, June 3,—A band of horse thieves have passed through from Powder river valley to Sumpter valley taking about twenty head of stock, and two citizens arrived hore to-day bringiog news of the find. ing of the bedy of Liuis Rivers, a wealthy stock man, riddled with bullets, and his horse shot by his side.
