We are now prepared to put all the latest
Improvements on old style Wheeler d wilson

these improvements an old machine would
work as well as new one of the latest style
and we would guarantee it just as long as a
new machine. The principle of the new Ms
chine is the same as the old, but changes have
been made which increase its efficiency, while
at the same time less care and skill are requir-

a Washington special to the Cincin =
natl Gazette, of Monday, says that the
Republican, Of Saturday, contains four
columns of extracts from letters receiv-
ej from the lady employees OF the
Bureau 0f Engraving ard Printing.
These letters reveal a most distressing
condition OF dsstitu ion among these
ladies, arising from the failure of Con-
gress to make any appropriation for
continuing the work Of printing trac-
tiOnal cnrreucy. The Republican says
the extracts are from genuine letters
received within the last forty-eight
hours, and the names of the writer's
could be furnished if necessary. The
salaries paid in the Bureau of Engrav
ing and Printin afe SO small as to pre-
cluie the possibility of saving any
thing for the future, W hile most of the
them for support, and the long snepen-
sion has left them without any means
whatever. The letters are from wild
Ows of officers and soldiers who died in
;he lato war, young girls who are The
only support Of their widowed mother
and several h-othcrs or sister, and
many who havp become reduced in
circumstances and were obliged to pro-
cure a position in this bureau.
During the past two years there have
beeu two reductions of force in this
bureau, and the scenes when the ladies
received their notifications Of dismissal
and found that they were to be thrown
helple.sly>6n the world were heartrend-
ing, many tainted, and several were so
much overcome thai it was necessary
to have them sent home in carriages.
1t is believed that it was to escape such
scenes that the late superintendent,
Mr.. George B. McCarty, resigned 1t
is reported that one of the lady clerks
died Of starvation few days ago, hav-
ing no means of procuring food. There
were between twelve and thirteen
hundred of these ladies di charged, and
a large number of them in the direst
want, and some are on the verge of
starvation. The matter very properly |
is attracting great attention here, and |
petitions are circulating, asking Con-
gress to take some action which will
give there unfortuuates relief.

efficiency OF the Government and clog

appropriations. The Senate cannot
originate bills of that kind. but they

they will do so, and fotce the House to

THE Washington ,S'dr states that the
recent examination of Mr.. Pepdleton
by the Jud iciary Committee of the
House, places him in a position even
worse than that in which he was ex-
posed by his testim ony before Mr.. Cly-
mer's committee. 1t appears that at
the time he pushed the Kentucky rail-
road claim through the War Depart
ment the title of the corporation which
he represented to the road was dis
puted, and was at that time pending in
the Kentucky courts, but this fact was
concealed by Pendleton. Further than
this, the case was subsequently de-
cided adversely to Pendleton's corpora
ton. A rehearing was granted on
some technicality, and the controversy
ws5 finally compromised. These facts
throw some light on the remark OF
Senator Stevenson, that the stockhold-
ers regarded what they got under the
claim as so much money made.

THE testimony of Mrs. Marsh before
the Investigating Committee at Wash
ington is of little Importance. She tes-
tifies that Mr.. Pendleton went to Ed
rope with her and Mr.. Bowers in 1872.
In this, she contradfcts Gentleman
George squarely. As to the conversa-
tion with General Kiddo, she states
the impression received from Mrs.
Belknap, and which she intended to
convey to Kiddo, was that she Mrs. B. }
did not receive any money from Mr..
Pendleton. The country will await
with some interest the testimony of the
two persons referred to by General
Butler as knowing of money thst pass
ed between Mr.. Pendleton and Mrs.
Belknap. The further evidence OF
Marsh has accomplished nothing save
to fasten upon Clymer the responsible
ity of allowing his (Marsh's) escape.

= There was an alarm of fire in the Ogden House
about daylight Tuesday morning A guest, in
tending to take the early morning train, had re-
plenished the fire in his room, returned to his vir.
tuous couch and again fallen asleep. A burning
coal rolled from the crate, and igniting the carpet
soon filed the room with smoke. The traveller
awoke almost sutfocated, and in sudden fright
sprang from his bed, rushed into the corridor and
cried fire at the top of his voice. The house was
full of guests, all of whom were in the arms of
Somnus, or somebody else. The alarm created
some CONSERVATION, and the moving to and fro Of
guests en- diShabtNe excited considerable merri

damage was done. It struck Canton with roar ;,

Forty or fifty feet of roofing was taken off the

hundred feet, where a corner of it sunk into the
ground over foot Many pieces of slate from
the rOofof saxton's building, 80 and 32south Mar

moved several inches from solid position on its
foundation. Aside from these instances we have

STRANGE SUICIDE.-Some two weeks since the
Pittsburgh papers reported the mysterious disap.
pearance of Reuben Dutt from his home in ALE.
gheny. He was supposed to have had large
amount Of money in his possession when last
seen In Allegheny, and it was feared he had been
robbed and fOully dealt with. On last Monday
night, however, when train No. 2, which leaves
Canton going eastward at 1899 o'clock, was be.
tween Louisville and Alliance, the occupants of
forward passenger coach were startled by the re-
port of pistol, and on looking around they be-
held a man lying on the floor, in the last agonies
of death, and blood flowing from hismouth where
he had shot himself. This man proved to be Reu.
ben Dutt His body was taken to Alliance and an
inquest held He was well dressed, and fine
looking man; had fine gotd watch in his pocket,
but only thirty cents in money could be found.
Dutt was formerly saloon keeper on Anderson
street, Allegheny, but sold out his place some two
or three weeks since, and it is generally supposed
went off on tear with the proceeds, and having
spent all, became detected and did the deed.
