The Homestead Contest Case of Kelly vs. Grameng to Bo Reopened , ft VERY IMPORTANT DECISION. the New Civil Service Rules Directed Against the Old Veterans General Sheridan an UO.IHLT Capital News. An Elaborate Opinion Ity Lamar. WASHINGTON , May 0. [ Special Telegram to tUcr. \ \ : . \ Secretary Lamar to-day ren dered a decision In tliu homestead contest case of John Kutly va Fred Gramcng , o ( the Valentine l.ind district , which Involves a principle and determines a question of great importance to all settlers on the public do main mill all readets of the BII : . The case arose on an appeal taken by Grameng to the commissioner of the general land office De cember in , 1BS5 , and the decision of Secretary Lamar comes In the form of a communica tion to the commissioner , and Is as follows : "It appears that the appellant on Scptcm- bern. ISM , made homestead entry No 2,000 on tlid southwest emartcr of section lil , town- MiIpIf. , range-10 , Valentino , Nob. ; that on the 10th of April , isai. Kelly Initiated a con test against said entry , charging abandon ment ; that a hearing was ordered , the notice prescribing that testimony betaken taken Slay 20 , IBM , before B. T. Triune , United States court commissioner , and re quiring appearance at the local ofllce Juno 3 , Ib3.r > , to respond and furnish testimony con cerning the alleged abandonment. Testi mony was taken before the United States commissioner on the date lirst named. No testimony was olfercd In behalf of the con- testce. " The record thus made was trans mitted to the local ollice , but action was not Jlicre taken ill the case uutll September 23. Its. , when the contest was dismissed , the following endorsement bring wade In pen cil by tliu receiver mi the back of the affidavit of the contest : ' 'Dismissed for the reason that the contestant has furnished no evidence ot posting notice on land. Thirty days' time Is irivon contestant to appeal. " Underneath Is Its entry , apparently made In a dllleront hand " 1'artles notified . " No , same day. ap peal having been tiled , the local ollice , by letter of Novembers , 1885 , transmitted the papers to your olllco which , upon Inspection ot the record , found that there was no evidence that notice of contest had been posted on the land. Your oUico , however , proceeded to examine the testimony In the case , and concluded , as n result of said ex amination , that the claimant had abandoned the land and that his entry should bo can celled. From that decision claimant Is now here on appeal , averring that on the day set for trial ho made a special appearance and liled n motion to dismiss for the reason that contestant .did not submit proof that ho com piled with ride 14 of in actico In relation to postlnu' notice upon ttio tract. He also re- lers to the fact of the contestant's failure to appeal trom the action of the local ollice. 1 find among the papers an application made by the contestant December 10 , 1835 , tinder oath and liled In your ofllco December 18 , 1885 , three days after the decision appealed from was rendered , setting forth that ho did post the required notice on the tract about thirty days prior to the day of hearing , but that ho had neglected to set out that fact In the testi mony ; also that he had no notice of the dis missal of the contest dy the local oflico. On these statements ho at the time of maklni ; them asked a review of the testimony or anew now hearing. To this your ofllco replied by letter , dated January , 7,1880 , to the register and receiver , that as the entry had been by letter of December 15 , lbS5 , had for cancella tion for abandomont , consideration of said Application for review nnd rehearing was un- ncccssarv. From the forezoing It appears that the solo question raised by the appeal under consideration is that of jurisdiction to decide the case on Its merits , under the charge of abandonment , In the absence of evidence to complete tbo notice required by the contestant that he omitted to furnish evidence ot the posting of the notice of con test upon the land In controversy , thongh lie states that ho did , as a matter of fact , post the notice as required by the rule. In my judgment your olllco erred In passing upon thu testimony taken pursuant to the order for a hearing , It not appearing alllrmatlvfly that tie : local ofllco erred In finding that there was no evidence of the potting of the notice of contest upon the land. In tills view of the question pre- Rcntod.your ofllco was without jurisdiction to decide on the testimony submitted , It not ap pearing from the record that due and com plete notice had been clvon. The ox parto nllldavlts liled since the decision by the local otllco and your office and without notice to the coutesloe , to the elfect that as a matter of fact a copy of the notlco of con test was posted on the land , as re quired by the ruins , cannot bn accepted as completing the record so us nowto give Juris diction to pass upon the testimony. The Al legations and facts In the case are such , however - over , as In my opinion to warrant a compll- unco with the contestant's request that a re hearing bo granted. Your offico'if decision Is mod Hied accordingly and you will direct that a now hearing bo ordered , based upon the af- lldavlt of contest now on tile , after notice as required by practice upon the record thus mado. The register and receiver will make their finding subject to appeal as In othei cases. Khorlelan nnd llosser. WASHINGTON , May C.

[ Special Telegran to the llKE.l The announcement in tli city papers of to-day that the civil sorvlc commission has adopted rules wheieby thos who are In the departments of the servic where the civil service law Is In force worn t bo subjected to an examination In cases a promotions created Intense excitement in de partment circles and among the friends o those now possessing positions therein. 1 the new regulations are correctly given b ; the press they amount to a direct nullliicatloi of the law as enacted by congress. It will b remembered that those m the department when the law was passed were exemptc from Its operation , for two particular an controlling reasons : 1. It was assumed the the efficiency of those then In the service ha been ascertained anil nettled before the 1m rvas passed , that 1s , by the service they ha ) lteady rendered ; 3. and because moat c these In the departments were soldiers , many of whom left the schoolroom to engage In the defense of the country and were too old to return to school when mustered out. Many of them also wcro crippled in the ser vice by wounds received In thu line of duty. To compel these veterans to compete with boys fresh from school is an outrage and n trick devised for the purpose of driving them Intomlvato life. The Io > al people of the country should sternly protest against this scheme to drive these veterans Into poverty so near the threshold of old age , when It Is simply Impossible for them to outer again line the battle of life with any show ot suc cess. Kvery union man In tlio county ought to sternlv protest against this new and shabby trick. Pensions Isnued to Westerners. WASHINGTON , May 0.

C. , to which has been clvon the name of "Secession Hill. " It was upon the beautiful greenswards and under the grand old oaKS of that rising mound that the lirst tocsin ot war was sounded In 1800 which was so shortly afterwards to bo taken up by the whole south and re-echoed by the dull booming of cannon irom ono end of this land to the other. It was at a mass meeting of the citizens of Abbovlllo county upon that hill that the lirst resolutions looking to secession were adopted , and It was not long before the ball sot rolling there gathered so much force that it took years of bloody war to stop it In its headlong flight. And , as it had joyfully , nursed by Its protecting heights the first stirrings of the confederacy , It was but fitting that , alter a few eventful years , It should bo the overseer of that last meeting of the leaders In the lost cause when Jef ferson Davis called together his short-lived cabinet for the last time. Since lose stirring days Secession Hill has 'mnged. Instead of the implements of war hlch once wcro flourished upon Its summit jo plow and the spade have gained suprem- icy ; and where red-handed war stalked In is fearful might peace and her hand- iialdoiis reign supremo. The Historic hill is low said to bo the most bcnittiful place In ibbovllle county , and therefore , as Abbe- Illlans would say , In all South Carolina. 'rom a gentleman who his recently made a isit to the hill I obtained a description of : hu place as It now stands. Ho says : "On ; ho southern exposure of the crown of the illl Is a well kept vineyard of some. KX ) grans I'lnes , Including fifteen varieties. The vine yard was set In the fall of 18SI and last year nado something like lifty bushels ) f grapes. This year Mr. J. F. C. Dupro , kvho owns the crest of the hill , hopes ; o gather at least 200 bushels. Between thn ows are vegetable corn and melons , so that not ono foot f ground Is wasted. The pit or iot-houso Is lull of the choicest llowers and Iho carlllcfit vegetables. Abundant llowers grow there all winter , no artilieial heat being necessary. A cre.it quality of Mr. Dupro's choicest Mowers and fruit trees are from cut- tines. The flower garden Is n beautitul sight to seo. In ono bed there are as many as ICO choice lillies glowing from the seed. The cultivation of the pecan nut from the seed Is also being attempted there with much success and a largo poultry yard adds to the Ivelluess of the place If not to its beauty. " Wrecks. WASHINGTON , May C. [ Special to the BEE. ] The latest copy of the Pilot Chart , a monthly publication for the guidance of mariners , shows that there are to-day eleven dangerous wrecks right In the path of vessels In the coasting trade alone the eastern coast ol the United States. In any other country on the civilized globe a mnn-of-war or a govern ment vessel of some description would * have been dispatched to destroy these wrecks a soon as reported. There is nothing , not even an Iceberg , moro dangerous to navigation "derelict. " Yet t than a water-logged up < the present tlmo there Is no ono In thoUnltet States with the necessary authority to order s vessel out to remove these dangers from the pathway of our merchant marine. Thin after time the attention of congress has been called to tills subject and- the officers In charge of the Pilot Chart have roue.itcdlv urged that a small appropriation bo maao tt enable the navy to maintain a small ship foi the purpose of removing floating dangers a soon as they are reported. But there is m ono directly Interested as to spend time ant money In hanging about the doors of con gress to see that this recommendation Is con sidered. In consequence year follows yea : and the very sensible recommendation Is un heeded. It Is estimated by n naval ollice : who has given a great deal of at tontlon to this subject that the actim annual loss to the merchant marine of tin United States from striking upon these un marked obstructions Is equal to at least li per cent ot the losses ( rom all other cause combined. The cost of building and main talnlng the necessary vessel to remove thesi obstructions would ue more than saved tin lirst year by the prevention of losses to coast Ing vessels and trans-Atlantic steamer which are Icopardlzcd by the failure of tin government to do Its duty In this respect. military Matters.
