Otrftl Service Oplilonl,
W a shin u to*, Sept. 17.—The civil ser
viee commission has rendered the following
opinion in the case of the postmaster at
Minneapolis:
U. S. Civil Service Court, )
Washington, Sept. 14.)
To Jokn J. Ahkai.y, postmaster, Minneapolis,
Minn.:
Sir: This commission has received your
communication of August 2H, replying to
the commissions' letter to you enclosing
extract from au affidavit charging irregu-
larities in appointments at youf office, iu
which you explain in detaiJ the circum-
stances connected with each of said ai>
pointmeuts so charged to be irregular 1 n
reply you are informed that upon an ex-
amination of your explanation it is found
that one O. A. Hazen, who was employed
in the mailing division in September, 1H8H,
and who stillcontinues in the service, was
improperly employed without authority
under the law or rules, and that his services
should be at once discontinued; that as to
the other cases, except those of Schell,
Kranz and Deane, it is sufficient to say
that their employment tor the time they
were in the service prior to examination
and certification was wholly unauthorized
and improper. The, employment of Senell
as a substitute for a clei U was proper. In
the case of Kranz, who is employed in the
registry divisiou under the supposition that
the place occupied by him is an excepted
place, it may be stated that theouly ex-
cepted place in the registry division is that
of chiei or superintendent of the division.
Kranz is therefore improperly employed
and his services should be discontinued. In
the case of Deane, employed in the money
order division, the same may Ik", said as of
the,other case of Kranz, unless Deane is
employed as a money order teller ot
la the actual handling of money
In that easa he would occupy
an excepted place and his appointment
would be regular, otherwise he has been
improperly appointed and his services
shoula be discontinued. The employment
of any person in a place subject to exarni
nation, temporarily or otherwise, without
regular examination and certification b;
tha board of examiners in accordance wit
the requirements of the rule is wholly
unauthorized and such practice, which
appears from your action to have existed
nt vour office, must be discontinued. \s
^to the measure blame that should properly
attach to you for these irregularities, the
emission will further consider and re-
port.
Hugh S. Thomas,Acting President.
Th« Ivea C i ,
Nkw York, Sept. 17.—Woodruff again
took the stand in the Ives case today. In
answer to questions he stated that he was
norn in Newark, N. .1., and had attended
the public schools iu that city, The wit-
ness said that he aud Ives were clerks
together.
' "Were you intimate with Ives?" asked
counsel.
"1 don't know what you mean by that,"
was the reply.
"Were you o« good terms with him?"
"Our acquaintance was merely a casual
one."
The witness here went on to give a
sketch ot the many places he held in his
life. One day, after he had been with lyes
about five months, the latter came to him
and told him he was a partner in the busi-
ness. He t Woodruff) said all right, and
that he was glad of it. It was understood
that Woodruff was to get 15 per cent of the
profits. This was continued for about two
or three months. In the year 188b the
nsrne of the firm was Henry S. Ives A to.
The eompany was Woodruff and all he
had to do was to obey Mr. Ives.
Then you were an automaton, and aiu
nothing unless you were ordered'"'
"Well, that is getting il down pretty
fine," came the reply
"Yes it is, but that was .your position
according to your own words."
"Well, 1 never did anything unless or-
dered by Mr. Ives."
When was the partnership ti St ween Ives,
Stay nor A Doremus formed "
About February 1886.
The witness was in the employment ot
the new firm as the confidential clerk of
Ives. He was told that Stayoor objected
to him as a partner, but later on Stayuor
denied this. He continued with the firm
until tha date ot the assignment, I h
witness had heard that he hud been elected
secretary of the C. H. A 1). road, but
how, when or where he was unable to tell.
He had not sought the office. Mr. Staynor
was opposed to everything he (Woodrnn)
did on general principles. Woodruff tried
to look cool and unconcerned, but his ef -
forts were futile. Today Woodruff fell
back many times upon the
"I don't know" principle, but the coun-
sel followed him up immediately. Wood-
ruff did not know who had the bo ks and
seal. He could not say whether Ives or
he had them nor could ue tell which way
they wenttoStaynor shou.se or how long
it took them to get there. In tact, at this
stage of the cross examination the wltuess
lapsed into a complete know nothing, so
to speak. As to their return from Brook-
lyn, liis mind, he averred, was a complete
blank.
Dedicatory.
Ellsworth, Kan., Sept. 17 —The dedi
catory service of the ground* and build-
ings to the purposes and use of the H. A.
K. will take place on We<io wday, Octoi
ber 2.
No pains will he spared to make the
services interesting and Imposing. Th
will certainly be something new, as these
are the first grouuds ever owned by the
U. A. R. organization or .set aside for their
use free. Accommodations for from
15,000 to 18,000 men will be furnished ou
the grounds Thursday, October 3, will lie
Senator Plumb's day. Orders for aoootn-
modatiouB are coming In daily at the rate
of from 200 to 400 from a place, and every
thing points to one of the aiost successf ul
reunions ever held in the state.
Colored l'«ur«oUuu
Boston, Mass., Sept. 17.—A body of
colored uieu luet iu Meiouosu's hall today
pursuant to a call inviting "A conference
ot leading colored men to assist in the or-
ganization of a committee to secure from
the political party of our country a fair
share in its responsibilities, opportunities
aud honors." William 11. Ouprer of Bos-
ton presided. Resolutions were adopted
declaring that they ask for no favors that
is wltbbeid from other citizens or to which
they are nut entitled, but we do ask for the
civil and political houiogentity which in-
vades no man's private life, which does
lie at the foundation of national unity
We contend for the contact with our white
brethern which elevates and does not de-
grade either them or us. The promoter ot
selfish and private interests atourexpense,
whether they be white or black men, are
our enemies. We dou't believe that all
our grievances can be cured by polities,and
•Ahile we urge the exercise of the right of
suffrage and all other rights courageously,
firmly and discreetly, we couusel against
entering politics for a livelihood in lieu of
entering other fields of industry. We em-
phasize the importance of acquiring homes
auded and personal property and urge
the necessity of education. Wealth and
equipment mental, moral and industrial,
are the key to these. We condemn the
brutal outrages committed upon our people
in the south. We warn our countrymen
that If the harm done women and children,
the burning of schools and churches, the
destruction of homes and murder of de-
fenseless men, are not prevented by the
strong arm of the law, the patience, long
suffering aud forbearance, characteristic of
our people will be goaded into hate and a
striking out in -self defense. We pray to
be permitted to live within the law, but if
we are driven to live otherwise «>« hianie
will uot be ours.
A permanent committee was appointed
to carry out the purpose outlined iu the
call. '
Wool Manufacturer's Session.
Boston, Sept. 1,7..—The executive com-
mittee of the national association of wool
manufacturers is in sessiou here today.
The question of carpet wool is one of the
principal topics under discussion. No
action has yet been taken, but the associ-
ation's quarterly bulletin, just published,
.says:
It is admitted that the 1867 duties on
carpet wools were not designed to serve as
protective duties but were imposed for
purely revenue, purposes. We cannot sub-
scribe to the claim now made that con-
ditions have so changed in twenty years
that a protective duty is now desirable and
would be advantageous. The argument is
that the conditions then existing, which re
moved all necessity for a protective duty —
•arpet wools, hi've been increased and in-
tensified by the lapse of time. A prohibitory
or highly protective duty on the c!
| heaper
grades would uot lead to "the production iu
this country of wools similar to ttiosd now
imported for this purpose. Manufacturers
would be justified in insisting that the low
grade carpet wool shall go upon the free
list. These low grade carpet wools are
almost the only raw material upon which
a revenue duty was imposed wheu the
government needed ttye money, from
which it has not since been removed, or is
proposed to be removed. The argument
in favor of free carpet wools is vastly
stronger than that which was made tor
free hides The difficulty in the why of
giving the manufacturer the full benefit of
the principle arises from the trouble in sc
curing at the custom houses the classifica-
tion necessary for the prevention of frauds.
We held this difficulty to be the only valid
argument that can be used against the free
admission of carpet wools.
The proceedings of the revenue com
inittee are private.

Washington, 13. 0., Sept. 17.—In the
case of llessong vs Bergan, original in th

tary of the interior who has denied the
motion which was a review of a former

with the law and regulations there under
rather than in him, who, although the
first actual settler on the land, yet failed
to comply with the requirement relative to
the time of making proof of auy payments
This decision reverses that made by sec-
retary V Has in the case of Epley vs Trick,
who held to the contrary opinion.

St. Louis, Sept. 17. Thomas K. Jack-

Ed. Aheru in Daly Bros, saloon tonight.
The fight is the talk of the town and the
feeling is so stroll that so-called "boxing"
resorts will tare badly In the future. An
eye witness of the battle says it was one of
the gamest, bloodiest contests in the
annals of the ring. About 11:80 o'clock
Jackson came forward, stripped to the
waist with a pair of light tights on.
Ahern appeand a moment later simtlail'y
attired. Keferee and time keepers having
been chosen, two ounce hard gloves were
produced and the fight opened. In the
first round the two cauie together with a
rush, and for a few minutesolose aud hard
lighting puevalled. No apparent advant-
age was gained on either side, but wheu
the men got apart It was found that Jack-
son's nose was bleeding freely. First
blood was given Ahern and the round
ed before time was up, because of the
bursting of Jackson's glove.
Round two—"Science," as it Is called by
fighters, was disregarded entirely in this
round. Jackson was already a sickening
sight, being bedaubed with his own blood,
which was still flowing from his nose.
Abern was an ugly sight, having been
spotted here and there with blood lrom
Jackson's gleves, which were well smeared
with it The two went at each other,
pounding and striking at random, aud
with the lull force aud brutality aroused
by their now excited vicious instincts. No
one could keep any count of the blows ex-
changed and the spectators shouted and
cheered with pleasure at the way in which
the men were fighting, Wheu time was

called, it was hardly possible to distinguish
one man from the other. Their bodies
were striped and blotched with blood,
their tights stained and their gloves slip
pery aud slimy.
Hasty efforts were made with water
and sponges to remove some of the blood
from their bodies but with little success.
Both men were bleeding at the nose, but
there was not time to attend to small mat-
ters like that, and the third rouud was
called and the men were pushed forward,
bleeding and staggering, by their backeis,
much to the gratification of the crowd,
which had contributed the $30 for which
one man w as being beaten to death. The
third, fourth and firth rounds were repeti-
tions of the first two. The floor was be-
ginning to get slippery from the blood ot
the fighters and the blows would glance
and slip owing to the soggy condition ol
gloves. Wheu a fair, straight blow would
be struck bv oneor the other of the fight-
ers, it was accompanied by a squashing
sound and left a rouud red spot darker
than the bloody skin around it. The men
slipped and slid on the bloody floor and
wiped the blood from their eyes with
their bloody gloves. So it went until the
end of the fiftli round, when both wore
beaten black and blue, their faces swclen
and their lips so thick they could scarcely
talk. They hail both been fighting at each
others f acds and sorry sights they presented
at the end of the round.
Sixth round—There was sparring for
wind, but the savage battle w as renewed
. in the seventh, ending in the men falling in
Jackson's corner, overturning the bucket
of crimson water in which JackBon's
seconds had beeu washing him.
In rounds eight, nine and ten there was
moderate slugging and sawdust was throwu
OU the bloody Hour to give the fighters a
foothold. Bound eleven showed the men
so weak they could scarcely come up.
Jackson was a pitiful sight, one eye was
already closed, ins nose was swollen to
twice the ordinary size and his mouth was
simply sickening. Ahern was much in the
same condition, although not quite so bad.
Both stood up and made an attempt
to tight aad did for a few seconds
Then Ahern with an effort struck a swing-
ing blow which floored liiui. Ahem, thrown
by his own effort, fellon top of his antago-
nist. When the time keepers called tune
lor the twelfth round, Jackson was put on
liis feet by his seconds and started forward
toward the center of the ring. He had
hardl\ taken a step wheu he fell hack into
the arms ol his seconds unconscious, f atally
injured, lledied this morning. At 1 p.
m! jackson'!dead body was taken to tin
morgue for the coronor Its appearance is
most horrible. The lips hang iu shreds
as though cut by the man's teeth at every
blow he received, and form a bloody fringe
through which the reddened teeth show.
His face is one mass of battered human
tlesh, black and blue and terribly swollen
His chest does not show the marks of
bruises to any great extent, so that tin
man must have received all the blow
the face and head. The sight was a sick-
ening one.
Detectives weie at or.ee detailed to arrest
the principals, seconds,etc.,and spectators,
Kd. Ahern, the surving principal, was
tound late this afternoon and lodged in
jail lie seems proud of the game fight he
made, hot asserts that Jackson must have

Daniel and Jack Daly, proprietors of the
saloon where the light occurred, Mike
Mooney. one of the seconds, Abe yuincy
and Stephen A Mailer, time keepers, were
captured and several more will likely be
behind the bars by morning. The prose-
cuting attorney Is of the opinion that mur-
der under under the first degree may be
shown, with those connected with the fight
as accessories, and there are many uneasy
