A Carriage Shop Furnished the Material,
At five o'clock last evening the fire alarm
was given from box 25, and almost imnledi-
ately dense column of smoke was seen ris-
ing up in the neighborhood of Jackson and
Sixth streets. The engines were promptly
upon the spot, and SO, too, was a large con-
course Of people, who, by pressing in an al
most impenetrable phalanx, greatly impeded
the operations of the firemen. 1t was not
long, however, before a barrier of ropes was
formed and the crowd kept back. The
building, which seemed at the mercy of the
deyouring element, proved to be a very old,
rotten, dilapidated looking shanty, occupied
by Messrs. Nippolt u Co. as a car
riage factory. The wood was as
dry as finder and completely
saturated with oil and paint. Notwith-
standing this, and that the building was full of
suff coating smoke the finished work-some
five or six;sleighs- as quickly removed
and taken to place Of safety. Although
the fire had got considerable Roadway, and
the structure was of a highly combustable
material, it was not long before the firemen
had it completely under control. The
old rickety finder box, though not utterly
consumed, is damaged beyond repair. Close
beside of it were two other wooden struc-
lures, which, thanks to the energy of the
1iremen, we're not in the least damaged. The
origin of the fire is at present unknown.
The stock was advertised for sale yesterday.
The building is owned by Commodore David

A man named Paul johnson met with an
accident at Motley on Wednesday, which resul-
ted OF Thursday evening in his death. He
was in the employ of the Railroad Company
with the bridge corps rebuilding the Grow
Wing river bridge and standing on the ice
beneath the trestle, when piece of timber 2
feet long and by inches through, fell dis
lance of 16 feet and struck him upon top of
the head fracturing the skull. He was
brought to this city and treated by DIR.
Rosser, and singular to relate, was walking
about town unaided at noon on
Thursday, but died at 6 o'clock in the eve
ming. He leaves wife and seven children in
his native country-Sweden-w have been
waiting patiently these many years, since he
left them, for the welcome summons to join
him in his new home. Quite sad, indeed,
will be the change in the spirit of their
dreams. Instead of summons to meet him
in Minnesota, they are called to join him in
been that of an honest, faithful, sober,
Christian man. He never INDUCED in
drink, was ever quiet, unobtrusive and
respected by all who knew him. He has
been en- the N. P. bridge corps for some time
and, though necessity has frequently driven
the crew to encroach upon the Sabbath, yet
he never could be induced to join them. His
earnings were always carefully husbanded,
and all that he could spare promptly sent at
every opportunity to his family, and at the
time of his death he had OH his person S115,
which he intended sending when he reached

short time ago an agent of the Pension
Bureau was directed to Investigate the pen
sion claim of Mrs. Emily L. Slaughter. of
Baltimore, Nd, on which claim there was
first payment of about $4,000. 1t was de-
veloped in the course of the investigation
that certain claim agent of Washington re-
ceived half of the total sum paid, and that he
divided half of this amount with James II.
Baker, now Surveyor-General of Minnesota,
and then Commissioner of Pensions, on
whose direct and peremptory order the claim
of Mrs. Slaughter was allowed. The claim
agent was indicted in the United States Dis
trict Court, of Baltimore, for his connection
with the matter, and while the agent, under
the directions of the District Attorney, was
engaged in fathoming Bakers connection
with the case, Baker appeared in
Washington in obedience to the summons of
the Committee on Civil Service Reform of
the House of Representatives, which COM
mittee was then engaged in investigating
certain charges against him, relative to
defalcation in the pension agency at Chicago.
Baker had in the Pension Bureau conf

special agent was engaged in investigating
his connection with the Slaughter pension
claim, and Baker Immediately set to work to
put an end to the proceedings. Through
the influence of Baker and Jerry G. Rusk,
ex-member of Congress from Wisconsin,
with James A. Bentley, the present Com
missioner Of Pensions, who is also from
Wisconsin, they succeeded in effecting the
removal of the Chief of the Secret Service
Division, who instituted the investigation,
and had appointed in his stead
Tolbert Lanston, Bakers confidential
friend. Lanston's first official act, after as
Stunning charge of the division, was to order
suspension of proceedings in the Slaughter
pension claim, and his second official act was
to cause the removal of the special
agent who was engaged in the inyes-
tigation of the same. The trial of the
indicted claim agent has never been called.
Baker and Lanston enjoy the confidence of a
Reform Administration, one in the capacity
of Surveyor General of Minnesota, and the
other as Chief of the Secret Service division
of the Pension Bureau. Both are subordi-
mates of Secretary Schurz, before whom all
the facts were laid and an investigation
asked, but, for some reason best known to
Mr.. Schurz, nothing has been done. 1t now
devolves upon the committee on expendi-
lures in the Interior Department to inquire
into the matter. The Secret Service of the
Pension Bureau affords rich field for in
vestgation.

arose relative to dividing the profits. Lum-

Especial telegram to The GLOBE.
CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 3.-An effort will be
made next Wednesday to put stop to diff
culties in regard to east bound freight BUSH
ness, which have caused so much excitement
and discussion during the last few months.
On that day meeting will be held at the
Grand Pacific hotel in the city, to which all
general managers of the various roads lead
ing east from western points have been in
vited, and are expected to be present. Albert
Finke of New York, general commissioner,
and N. Guilford, western pool commissioner,
will be present. The meeting will be one of
the most important ever held, as upon its ac-
ton will depend the future existence of the
New York pool.
BUYING LEGISLATION.
The investigation of the expert into the
condition of the defunct savings institution
of this city just completed, discloses the fact
that large sums amounting in the aggregate
to nearly 100000, we're paid out by officers
of the bank, ostensibly for the purpose of
protecting the interests of the institution at
Springfield during sessions of the Legisla-
ture. The payments on this account during
the past session Of the Legislature amounted
to some $4,000 to 1918, 900.
