A few days since it was announced that John H. Oberly, of Illinois, had re fused an office with more pay than the one he now holds—superintendent of Indian schools—because he did not think himself fitted for the work required. This heroic sacrifice for the general good was much commented upon, but now it is stated that the occupation of the present position was understood to be only temporary when he was appointed, it then being made known to him that he was to receive one of the positions in the District of Columbia which are regarded as honorable and desirable sinecures. The good man will get his reward, we hope, for the tremendous political services he has rendered his party.
Mr. Cleveland has shown, as he will continue to show, a desire to comply with the demands of the spoilsmen of his party. His letter to Eaton was filled with compliments for the work of the civil service commission in putting the law into force but his party at Saratoga complained of this work of the commission, saying among other things that the commission should be composed of democrats and that the rule which kept for two years on the list of applicants for office those who had passed examinations should be repealed. Mr. Cleveland has done this. Messrs' Eaton and Gregory have resigned, and their successors will'be .democrats, who will soon fill the list with democrats, and thus the law will be rendered nugatory. Great is reform, but greater still is sham.

STEAM'S SAD WORK
Iron"'Mitt'Bolters Explode—Seventeen Hen Injured by Flying Fragments and Escaping' Steam—A Terrible Scene
Graphically Described. PITTSBUBO, Pa., October 2.—A battery of boilers in Clark's Solar Iron works exploded at 3 o'clock this morning with disastrous effects. Seventeen persons were at work when the explosion occurred and were badly scalded, three of them fatally. A rupture in the mod drum was the cause. The mill was badly damaged and the loss cannot be at present estimated.
ence of so much human suffering,«physi-
It was fully twenty minutes after the explosion before the boy, Frank Murray, was taken out from under the truck, where he was thrown. In addition to being scalded he was terribly crushed by the weight of iron piled on top of him. James Cattoe and Frank Martin suffered the most from the escaping steam, but no hopes are entertained for the recovery of either of the three named. The others are expected to recover, but the majority will carry marks.to remind them of their experience as long as they live. Those most seriously injured were taken to the West Pennsylvania hospital, while the others were removed to their homes.
The interior of the finishing^ mill presented a terrible sight of desolation after the accident. Things were badly wrecked. The boilers, six in number, form a battery, which sets in the extreme southwest corner of the mill. The muddrum runs lengthwise under all six boilers. It was the end cf this which blew out. All the boilers were unseated. Two of them tilted back some on their ends. A very remarkable feature was the jamming of the mud-drum's head against one of the'engines. This engine was sitting a few yards north of the boilers. The burst iron was blown directly against the cylin der head of the engine? smashing it to pieces and blowing the whole head in ward. From this the steam rushed out with a loud, hissing sound. Large stacks of hoop-iron were blown all over the mill machines upset, rolls rolled over the. floor and in one instance a wheelbarrow was twisted through Ihe door. The iron machines and benches were all thrown together in inextricable masses of debris, under which several of the men were buried Mr. Powers, the chief engineer of the mill, says the boilers and mud-drum were inspected by the Hartford Boiler Insurance company two'months ago, and were then pronounced safe. He was certain they were all right when he left last evening, and could only account for the explosion on the ground that the iron in the mud-drum was too weak to stand the pressure to which it was subjected.
Twice before have accidents of this nature occurred in this mill. The first one occurred five years- ago, and was unproductive of death. The second one transpired only eighteen months ago, and, although several were scalded, no one was fatally hurt. On the last occasion two men were arrested for tampering with the boiler, but failed of conviction because ef lack of proof of the crime.
Two 01 the victims—Thomas Cattoe and John Murray—died at the West Pennsylvania hospital this morning. Three or four others are not expected to recover. The explosion- was caused by the mud eating through the coating of the muddrum. Pieces of the drum picked up were not more than the Jhirty-second part of an inch in thickness.
THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
A Resolution Introduced in the New York Diocesan Convention In Regard to the Revision of the Prayer-Book.
NEW YORK, N. Y., October 1.—At the centennial diocesan convention of the Protestant Episcopal church of the diocese of New Yoik to-day the Rev. Dr. Thomas Eichy offered the following
Beeolved, That it is not expedient for the present to proceed with the revision of the book of common prayer further than the consideration of long standing and generally ac knowledged errors and defects, and the concession of greater freedom in the use of the hortatory portion of' the daily office and the office for holy communion. The following alterations, witheut disturbing our loneestablished order, will be found to satisfy present needs and will go far to rectify the most glaring liturgical blemishes in the prayer book viz: Permission to omit the opening portions of morning and evening prayers on all weekday service, and to begin with the Lord's prayer at the discretion of the officiating minister to insert in the office for the evening prayer the magnificent and nunc dimitius for. substitute for one or the other of the canticles now found there permission to omit the prayer after the collect of grace in the morning office, when it is followed by other offices .the nse of the Apostles' creed (unbracketed) in the office for morning and evening prayers, and the recitation of the Nicene creed in the proper place after the gospel in the office for holy communion. The farther sense of thejeonvention is that a oommittee composed of men learned in liturgical science be appointed by authority of the general con-

It was found that they represented the condition of the country as it was. twenty-five years ago, and alluded to it as "The Argentine Confederation." The use of that term was a moral insult to the people since it has been decided by civil war that Argentine is not a confederation of states, but nation.

The horse had white stocking and a star, which would have immediately disclosed his identity, so a paint brush was brought into requisition to efface the stockings and the star, and the result proved satisfactory. The animal in this disguise not only ran but won.

CAUGHT PLAYING FOUL.
Vice President Hendricks Accused—Hew He Transferred His Support for the Surgeon Generalship from Dr. Matthews, of Louisville, to Dr. Walling.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 2.—Dr. J. M. Matthews, of this city, who was an appli cant to succeed Dr. Walling as United States Surgeon General, makes some statements in an interview published this afternoon which show that the war between Vice President Hendricks and ex-Senator McDonald is now over. Dr. Matthews supposed that Hendricks was warmly supporting him for the surgeon generalship, but a day or two ago Mr. Hendricks said he knew nothing of Matthews, and had never met him. Dr. Matthews is one of the most distinguished surgeons in Kentucky, and he asserts that Hendricks did indorse him and promise him every-assist-ance that he could render. He relates this significant incident of his relations with Mr. Hendricks. "Recently, a distinguished United

Methodical Manner in Which a Reporter Suicided—After \Vritlng Up an Account of His Suicide for the Press, Mr. U. t'.
Woods Sends a Bullet Crashing Ipto His Brain. QUIHCY, 111., October 2 dinary suicide took place, at the Fay house,'a private boarding-house next to the new government building, in this city, the victim being U. U. Wood, a young man, aged 21 years, of steady sober habits, who was formerly a city reorter on the Herald, later on the Journal. lis parents reside in Ellington township, near the city, his father being a justice of the peace, and well-to-do financially. Wood's body, cold in death, was found in his room about 10 o'clock this morning, sitting in a chair, before him a marbleslab table, the lamp still burning, a revolver lying on the floor by his side, a bullet hole through his head, nineteen pages of manuscript lying before him, and table and manuscript covered with blood.
Wood staid with his friend, Bert Woillard, at the Tremont house. They attended the concert together at the Opera house, and upon going to Mr. W.'s room spent an hour or so playing cards. But never during- all this time did Mr, Wood give the slightest evidence of being 'a little off, as the boys say.'"
Then the writer continues giving his history at some length, relating that he was born in 1864, was a son of Charles Wood of Ellington township, graduated at the High school in this city, and served as a reporter or local editor on several papers, including the Herald and Journal in this city, and had written for the Herald for some time as Ellington .correspondent. He detailed his service in this line, and stated that "lately he accepted the place of city editor for the Optic, the new weekly, but being placed at soliciting, and finding himself not made for that business, he resigned the day before or on the day of his suicide."
The suicide then goes into along history of his life, saying his troubles were not apparentthat he, though young, had seen much trouble though out of position, he considered that a trifle that he owed some for board, but had assets to cover it that his troubles began early, his life at home being unpleasant—had several difficulties with his father, who even made his graduating unpleasant buf, besides all these, there was something else that made him miserable. He spoke of his mother affectionately, saying that at least she would mourn for him. This part of the letter he said he could not write without tears.
The document closes as follows: "Reader, it requires nerve tT take one's life, and it is not a weakness in me to say that as I write these lines I am trembling like an aspen leaf. Before me on this marble slab lies a death-dealing revolver charged and cocked, and as I look at it my heart almost leaps into my mouth. It is a fearful thing to take one's life, and I don't see how so many have the heart to do it. But here goes
The.jury, after hearing the above ex traordinary document read, rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts. Thus ended the life of a youth who seemed to have a bright and promising future before him.
The Madstone.
RobinBon (111.) Argus. Gus Adams, who was mentioned in last week's paper as having gone to Terre Haute to try the madstone has returned, and reports that the stone adhered for about twenty hours. There are dozens' of exaggerated reports throughout the neighborhood about the case—that Mr. Adains has had his arm amputated, that he has hydrophobia, that two other dogs have gone mad and been killed, and others bitten, etc., all of which are sheer nonsense. No other dogs have gone mad or been killed, and none have been bitten^po far as known. The only other dog that it is thought could possibly hav&been exposed, is one belonging to Mr. Adams' father (Win. Adams) and that dog is safely isolated and will be kept so until ail danger is passed. Mr. Adams, thoughquite sore, is able to be around attending to his ordinary business, and is doing as well as could be expected.

The following is the most important part of the document: "Brother Reporters, when you come to sift this matter and sum it up your, article will be about as follows: 'Shortly after supper last evening the report of a pistol was heard to issue from a room at the Fay house, near Eighth and Hampshire streets. Those who heard the hoise thought little of it at first, but investigation revealed the fact that Mr. M. M. Wood, a boarder at the above-named house, had seized a revolver and deliberately shot himself through the brain, the ball entering near the right temple and tearing away a large portion of the skull presumed). The pistol was a ve-chambered thixtyrtwo caliber, and was held, so close to the head that the face was much burned. The cause for the rash act is not well understood but it is supposed to be temporary insan ity. The perpetrator of such a deed is never supposed to be in his right mind, and although Mr. Wood never gave any evidence to the contrary, this must have been the cause, either directly or indirectly. The mystery surrounding the case, however, is all the greater when it is known that up to the very last hour of his life Mr. Wood never gave the first intimation of suicide, or even the first evidence of having a diseased^ mind 'He spent yesterday with various friends about the city, chatting,-laughing and joking- as usual. He spent a portion of the afternoon with his friend, George Stahl. They left the Fay house together at noon, and drove in a roundabout way to Mr. Stahl's place of business, on Third street. After putting up the horse they visited the dime museum. They then separated, Mr. Stahl going to his store and Mr. Wood to his' boarding house, where he spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping in his room. Tuesday night Mr.
