WASIIIMOTO.V , August m. [ Special Tele
gram to the BIK. : ] The Mexican Govern
ment has recently remitted to the Mexican
minister here n gum of money with which to
ROCUIO a supply of rotary locks to bo used In
transmitting thu registered malls between
lUo City ot Mexico and the United States.
At present the tlmo required to forward reg
istered letters between Now York and the
City of Mexico Is about fourteen da ) sand
when this International lock system Is Inau
gurated tbo time will bo reduced to about
eight days. The delay In the present system
Is occasioned by the practice which prevails
of checking registered matter nt Kl I'aso and
Paso del Norte. The former olllco Is ono of
the four largest In the United States for
lianitllni ; registered matler. When the new
Bystem Is thoroughly established it will make
151 Paso but little more than a way station.
Mr. Hell , superintendent of the foreign mall
division of the postolllco department , says
that there will bo four oilices In this country
whore registered pouches for Mexico will bo
made up. They nro N'ow York , San r'ran-
clsco , St. Louis and Kl I'aso. Another re
form of considerable Importance to mer
chants In the United ijt.itcs havinir custom
ers In Mexico will nrotnbly bo adopted by the
latter country before very Ionic. At
present packages addressed to citi/en1) )
of Mexico subject to duly are held
up at I'nso del Norte , where the duties are
assessed , then the party addressed Is notified
and the package Is held up until the necns-
nary charges nro paid. In this country when
a package Is received at the border , the con
tents of which are mibject to customs charges ,
the appraiser at Kl I'aso ascertains the
amount of the duties which must bn paid and
marks It upon the package. It Is then for
warded to the address and the postmaster at
the point ot destination collects the charges
and remits at once to the collector of customs
at Kl Paso. Bv this means annoying delays
are avoided. The Mexican postal authorities
nro trying to got this system adopted on their
Bide of the line. Mr. Hell thinks that the at
tempt will lie isuccessful , but It may require
nn act of tlio Mexican congress to accomplish
ii. Mr. Hell says that the Mexicans are tryIng -
Ing In every possible manner to Improve
their postal service. They are ndoptlnu
American customs as rapidly as possible to
accomplish this end. llo thinks there nevei
was a tlmo when the feeling In the republic
was as friendly towaids the United States ac
It Is now and that Americans should "not
only extend the hand of friendship to them ,
but should go across the river to grasp their
extended hands. "

Kor CaiiHC.
WASIIINOTO.N , August 31. ( Special Telo-
ram to the UIIK.I There are very strong
casons for behevlnir ttiat tlio controversy
etwccn the civil service commissioners over
ho matter of civil service dismissals , Is In
callty nothing but a pre-arranged play. It
ust astonish nti ) one who knows Cotnmls-
loncr Oberly to find that gentleman advo-
atlng n measure which would make the
lath of the democratic spoilsmen and oflloo-
nnters to places In the government service
nore difficult than It now is , nnd one Is cer-
alnly justified to suspect that Mr. Oberly Is
laying his part to a purpose. Ills statement
hat he can see no objection to furnishing
reasons for dismissals conflicts so strongly
with Commissioner Kdgcrton's opinion , that
f he wuru In earnest ho would undoubtedly
nslst on the adoption ot a rule to
arry out his allowed view , which Is
ilso that of Commissioner Lyniati.
tut it Is evident that he will not go so tar , at
east not now , and perhaps not until It be-
lomes necessary to oeltoi protect democratic
imployes against nn Incoming leimbtlcan ad-
inlnlsttalion. The tared plajed by Ubuily
lid Edgerton has clearly been anangcd to
ilease the mugwumps , who tun strongly
emplod to kick au'ilnst the civil service
neinods of the administration , without of-
ending the democratic spoilsmen. U would
lot have looked well It the democratic com-
: nl sionurs had pronounced against the ro-
itrletlon of dismissal * by compelling dismiss-
ng olllcials to give reasons for them , and , be-
ides , the conr.so puibued by Obtirly paves the
vny for such a ride whenever ones
s deemed necessary to protect democratic
: lvll service employes. If Commissioner
Oberly nnd the president were honest in
'heir civil service luform pretensions , they
vould doubtless pay some attention to the
, vork of the democratic state associations In
his city. These associations flourish , cxer-
ilso a very great influence In all the depart-
ncnls and procure dismissals and appoint
ments.
Nona of them Is a bettor political machine
ban that ot Maryland , which embraces all
.he officials and government umplovcs from
.hat state , with Just about enough non-of-
icial members to till the association otlices
\nd for the formation of committees to pro-
I'ldo spoils. Only yesterday twelve members
were added to that association , most ot whom
ire new employes ot the navy yard here.
This association Is very active. Us com-
lultlco Is always on the hunt for places
"or democratic rounders and strikers and as
hey are under the patronage and protection
ot Hess Gorman , they are treated with great
consideration in all the departments. The
Maryland , the Virginia , and other democrat
ic oritaul/ations also announce their purpose
of serving their party In the election and so
'e.ivo no room to doubt their power as polit
ical machines. In duo time there will be
democratic associations from all the states
nmslstingof nine-tenths of ollice holders and
of one-tenth of claim agents und other poli
ticians. If the administration was a reform
administration , It would certainly not rec-
ognl/e these- associations in Its appoint
ments.

to the iEi.J ) : The death of JJibcock , thu
wliolmole lumber dealer , from tlio effects of
a pistol wound received In the town of Gard
ner In some manner as yet unascertained ,
resolves the wl.olo casn Into onu of tlio most
icllucd mysteries lu tlio history of Illinois
crime.
It Is now believed that Miss Dodge , who
ms been arrested for the murder , Is the
guilty party. Uabcock seduced her under
uomlse of innrrlnge. for years spent part of
ilstlmowlth her and borrowed her money
without thought of repaying It.
Miss Dodge 1ms been somewhat belled by
, ho press. She U unta homely old maid ; she
s 11 fairly good looking woman of somewhat
over thirty , well-bred , and apparently well
tducatcd. Shu nulthur denies nor ixfllrnn
mr guilt , mid the authorities have to work
without her aid.
Yesterday afternoon the Dodge farmhouse
was searched by Coroner Hertz and Deputy
Jarrett of Cook county. They arrived on
ho noon train ftoin Chicago , and were mot
3y Orrin N. Carter , state's atlornov lor
Orundy county. Those gentlemen held a
conference with Messrs. Wins and Stougli ,
Utornoys for Sarah Do.rtse , and , accompanied
) V half a doron correspondents , drovn out to
ho bouse. Mr. Stough had procured several
; cys Irom MlbS Dodje , but they lulled to uti-
ook any of the outsldo doors. There I * a
narrow , loofed-ovor passage between the old
anil the now House- * , extending back to the
lantry. Kntering this passage , a door load-
ng Into the old building WAS found ajar.
.n ' this old building , coal , broken furniture ,
iiul nil sorts of rubbish vrmo scattered
about. Including a washing machine half
'nil of soiled clothlngi Tlio door be-
Aveen this room and the kitchen was
ocked , but a kov in Mi. Slough's possession
opened It readily. The only tiling worthy of
notice In the appearance of the kitchen was
.hat It seemed not to have been used for two
or three days. There weie parts of n pie
and a loaf of broad lylne on the kitchen
able , and some other evidences of an In
terruption of the customary actions
) f the occuinnts of the house. From the
tltchen Mr. Stough led the way Into a pant
ry , which contained no object of in teiust , and
ttionco Into a hall approached from a back
loorand ending in stairs leading to the tip-
> er story. Thtougli n.Vlpor ahead v open the
: > arty entered the baqlj lurlw , with reference
: o the road froutagothou'h | It appeared as
f Intended to bo th best room in thn
louse. The trout parftr , occupying hhlf of
; hu main lloor next the toad , could be seen
through an open door. ilCoronor Ilntz barely
'lrtnced at the contents of the b.ick parlor
jut proceeded at oucat Into the next room ,
followed by the rest ot the party. It was to
bo seen at a Blanco that hcru the chief Inter
est in thu house centered. The carpets of
both looms were covcrt'd with lag-carpets ,
and the turultuio ceneially was about such
as one would expect to tind in a furm-houso
whose occupants had borne slight notion 10-
uaiding thu comforts W life. A few art
icles ot tuinituroi i.weru plainly preserved -
served from the times of the last genera
tion , notably a hair-oJdth covered sola In
the front parlor and , ono or two old-
lashioned cliairs. There was an old-stylo
cabinet organ In a corner of the iront parlor ,
and on the walls of botU * rooms were old-
rashluned , oval-tramed lamily portialts.
As though governed by a common Impulse
the eyes ot every person In the party sought
the lloor in fiont of the bed in the back par
lor when the entrance was made together.
In an Instant Coroner IlerU was down upon
his. knees by the botUldo examining with In
tense eagerness a dark spot on the carpet the
size of a silver half dollar. Thu spot was
plainly visible to the oihots from whore they
stood and most of thorn formed their conclu
sions and examined more closely alter-
wards. The small nioa coveied by the stain
was not disappointing In view of the state-
muntsof the doetois who examined Dab-
cock's wound , as it would be very unlikely
to bleed more than a lew drops externally
until the natural reaction set In , which
would not be under an hour after the wound
was inflicted. But Coroner Hertz jumped at
no conclusion. lie examined the spot closely
and found that for a dhtance ot several
inches around It the carpat was damp as
tliouh water had been spilled on it. Tno
stain was rod asiedas any blood-stain not
over four days old ever WHS.
"Does that settle It , 5Ir. Coroner ? " some
one inquired.
"No ono but an expert , aided by proper In
struments , " replied the coroner , "can tell
whether or not thlt > carpet Is stained with
human blood. "
There seemed to be a slgnlficont emohasls
on the adjective "human , " an uiophasls ihrtt
was accepted as meaning that the coroner
had no doubt that the spot on thu c.irpot was
a blood stain. He tooic out his knife and
ripped apart two breadths of carpet and
rolled them back so that the tloor beneath thu
spot was revealed. The llnor seenmd to bo
slightly dump , and that was all. Thu stain
biruly showed throuch on the under side of
the carpet.
The bed was smoothly made up nnd cov
ered with n white counterpane. There weie
two pillows at Its ho.id. The cerouer turned
the bud clothliiK back. There were no stains
UDOU the sheets , though they looked as If
they had been slept between a number ot
times. The coroner was very thoiough In
his search for signs about the bed of the
woman , who has been the only resident of
thu Dodgu house since Us aijeu owners went
to St. Charles a year ao. It Is notorious that
during the time- Sarah Dodge has had neither
main nor female employe nor relative in the
house , and jot plainly outlined on the husk
matress when the bud clothing had been re
moved wertUhe Improsslonfl of two human
llL'iuo.s. There was no doubt about it ,
When Sarah Dodno returned to the
house , alter taking JlaDcock Into town , she
replaced the clothing on thu bud carefully ,
but neglected to shako up the husk mattress.
She lett there thu Imprint of two human
shapes almost as distinct as though the im-
urtwslons had been taken in molding sand.
There were no signs of blood about the bed-
cloihini : . In the closet opening from this
room , as though lumraiiL * to dry , was a sheet
which looked as If It might have been rec
ently washed. There > vus also a white skirt
upon which there \vcr.e some dark coloicd
stains , very different from that on thecarpct ,
and as to the nature of which there was little
dlsuite. | There was also ; some rubbish that
wan ot no Importance , j
Now began a search ( for traces of the bullet ,
which Dr. McMann U ld Hancock told him
was tired Into the Jlemr. Tno search was
piouecuted faithfully iurnearly an hour , but
without result. /neither floor nor wall
was discovered a hulu1 that could bo made
with a bullet. I5ut y ft , the course texture of
the rag carpet might hnvo made it not Im
possible lor such n 'bullet to have left
no trace. This was recn nlzed by Coroner
lioitz , and ho thoutht or taking up thu car
pet , but finally decided not to do so. During
the .search a trunk at Che .foot of the bud was
moved , and underonqhtuner of it was found
S'J In half-dollar sllvar pieces. Une strong
evidence that the room Had recently been put
to use at least social In Its nature was n plate
of cake still sUndlns on . ! ; „ table placed
against tlio east slue of the apartment. The
cake was baked In a round dish , and was cut
Into half a dozen segments , one of which was
missing and anothei slightly nibbled. Other
Interesting oblecis on this table , which gave
some Insight Into tin Intellectual tendencies
o e mstress o o nuafc. wore varous
volumes "Scott's 1'oems. " "Usages of Mod
ern Society , " "Latin ( trammer , " and a
treatise on philosophy. Tint few other books
In the house , it may be mentioned here , were
of the stereotyped cloos which are usually
found In the dwellings of people of modoiati
means not of a literary turn.
The examination of the upper rooms de
veloped nothing bearing on the crime. 'Hit
room fronting the stieet contained two beds ,
and both bore evidence of lung dUme. Th >
were piled high with extra bed clothing autl
female wearing aup.trel. Tie room contained
an old cook Mo\ ami a number of antiquated
prints and portrait. * , uhich supported the
conclusion tlmt U hail been occupied by. the
sued Widow Dodco previous to her removal
to St. Chirloi. The roar upper room was
Uttered up with tags and refuse odds and
ends of various kinds , Including a couple of
old bedsteads. The Old lady's room revealed
n distinct desire on the part of its occupant
not to devote a cent to Its vain ndorn-
m tint. When the search was conclt'dcd
Attorney Dodge relockcxl the doors
behind tlio party nnd there wnnsomo general
conversation Indulged In. Coroner Hertz
nskcd of her counsel that Miss Dndgu betaken
taken to Chicago next Frldav as a witness at
nu Inquest which ha will hold there. The
lawyers said they vtoiild consult Miss Jindeo
nnd let tlio coroner know her decision In the
mailer. State's-Attoinoy Carter said ho
would bo present at Mrs. Dodge's examina
tion to-morrow , and that In case she waived
examination ho would not bo willing that
she bo admitted to ball. According to the
view of things taken by Stato's-Attornny
Carter Miss Sarah Dodiro will Ilnd herself nu
Inmate of the county Jail at Morris betoro
dark to-morrow , w here she will await ttio
action of the grand Jury , which will meet nt
Morris Monday , September 0.
The search for bullet holes was not quite
so fruitless outside the Dodge house. Homo
four or live were discovered In the coal shed ,
thotich none of them appeared to bo of to-
cent origin. Thov , however , tend to bear
out tht ) stories that are told about Sarah
Dodge's knowledge of the use of the re
volver. Statements which have been made
regarding the IdentlllcaUon of thu revolver
in the rase as one used by or belonging to
Miss Dodge , nro not founded on fact. The
revolver has not been out of the possession
of Dr. McMann , find Is veiv different from
the only one which has been seen In the
hands of Miss Dodge. The revolver which
slio has practiced with In the neighborhood
ot ( latdnor Is described by n business man
who has practiced with her as belnir an ordi
nary arm with u white horn or Ivory handle ,
vvhercas the ono In Dr. McMann's posses
sion has n black handle , Is self-cocking and
Is almost new.

AMDlllini OMAHA SCOOP. "
A Natural Gag Spring Discovered of
Inoxhaimtlblo Capacity.
For somotuno parties with a kuon eye
have seen many things In the neighbor *
hood of tlio Sulphur Springs , north of the
city ami east of the Saratoga plttto.tii.
They vvaro not midnight orgies on thu
banks of Cut-OIVlake , nor loving nymphs ,
nor the temporary habitations on an im
aginary Island with a squatter sover-
dignity gab'o. ' It was a spring a natural
gas spring , anil those parties com
menced to operate by simply seeing
whether the gas from the spring would
light u clgarotto quicker than
n cigar , or make u larger
tllnkcr by night than a
lly. They contln ucil on this way for
u time until the attention of more astute
men was called to the "burning spring. "
Those genllemon were Joseph T. With *
orovv , Charles J. Mentor , John Drcxel ,
Michael O. Maul , A. B. Snowilen , S. J.
Chambers nnd William A. Watson. They
immediately secured a local scientist fern
n correct examination of the spring. , His
report as far as his professional knowl
edge would allow him was so favorable
that the gentlemen above named con
cluded to purchase to property surronnd-
Ing the spring. It ia kliown
on the map as lot 5 , bio Ik 0 ,
Paddock's addition and is just on tlul edge
of the blull' near where Fifteenth Mid
Burdotto streets would join. It is n ro-
murkablo spring and tests made Tuesday
night with ariulu tank four feet in diameter -
tor and four feet high caused the llaino
from the burning waters to rise eighteen
inches above the surface. This was with
out any machinery whatever. Siirornl
tdsU have been made previous to the last
mentioned nnd till have shown con
clusively the gaseous power of this spring.
Scientific gentlemen have been tolo-
gruphcd to come hero from Pittsbitrg ,
Pa. , and Akron , ( ) . , nnd the prospects
are that Omaha will have natural gas
for illttniinating , cooking nnd power
purposes. ' Mr. P. K. Her , who has had
some considerable experience in sinking
his big well , says that this spring is a
marvel and its promises are Very good.
When the machinery which has been or
dered reaches here , Omaha will have a
big "scoop" ou any thing this side of
Ohio.
The owners of the newly discovered
natural gas spring visited their property
again last evening in company with u
number of Jocal capitalists , for the pur
pose of making a further test of both the
quality and quantity of the gas. The
Hpring is located at the intersection ot
Burdottu nnd Fifteenth streets. Shortly
after the entire party had reached the
spring last evening , Joseph Q. Withrow
placed a match to the stop-cock of a very
rudely constructed receiver and a blue
llaino about tun inches high rose into the
nir. It burned very satisfactorily to all
present for fully iifloon minutes and
then gradually lowered until the
llamo was but an inch or two
high. The opinion of all present was
that the spring could bo made a paying
enterprise. T. K. Baker , an expert m
natural gas wells , was present , and
watched the test with considerable intor-
t'st. At the conclusion of the experiments
Mr. Baker stated that there was every in
dication of gas in paying quantities ; that
lie imd never seen such strong surface in
dications before , and if ho were inter-
cstd in the matter ho would bore a well at
onco. P. E. Her stated that the gas ap
peared to be of a superior quality to any
that ho had seen in Ohio o"r othu'r
places. Mr. Her filled a rubber bag with
the gas for the purpose of submitting it
to Prof. Higgy , of Oroighton college. Mr.
Her received a letter yesterday from Prof.
Edward Orion , of the Ohio state geolog
ical survey , stating that lie woulil be in
Omaha about September 5 and submit tlio
gas to a rigid examination.
It is intended by the owners of the
property to erect all necessary machinery
for the boring of a well Immediately , nnd
learn without delay whether or not their
hopes are founded upon facts , or if their
gas discovery will go with the coal dis
covery into the whence.
Among those present last evening to
view the test wen ; Wiljiam A. Paxton , J.
A. MeShano , Lewis Hill , Charles Shiv-
enck , Captain Hustin , S. J. Clarksion ,
Frank Itamge and Thomas Tuttle.

present to such a degree ot good humor
as to ninko the sociable that next followed
a most charming affair. Prof. Brunor
was probably the happiest man present
and seemed wonderfully at ease among
his .school ma'ama. Refreshments were
