Foul plny In the CIV oalee.

An alarm Of fire last night developed
,be fact that the books in the gus Office oi
tbe city had been saturated with coal oil,
st up on end, opened out, and ignited.
Fortunately Mr.. Thomas McNabb and
one or two others happened TO
he passing the window just as the
lish. began to show itself. He ran to
the city building and gave the alarm,
which was promptly sounded at the Cap.
iol and as soon MS possible hastened back
10 The office, which MEANWHILE had been
opened and the books rescued from de.
strlction in damaged condition.
Thenews spread rapidly alloyer town,
and die public mind became greatly ex.
cited over the occurrence. It was the gen.
eraI impression that the recent charges in
resarl to tOcrookedness in thegas business 6f
the city had now received such q coIoring
Of confirmation as would at ono elead TO q
thorough investigation both in the Office
and al the works.
ltisuselesst to sperulateat this time as to
who is theguiIty party. Mr.. King, as will
be seen by our local report, charges that
il was spite work on the part OF an enemy.
II this is the case, how came the door 10
he Opened-nOt forced-and what enemy
carries d yale lock key Of the Officer;
Ithas been publicly charged by d re.
cent empoye Of the gas works that in
several conversations with the Superin.
tendeRt, in the last year or two, hints
have been freely thrown out that the bus.
iness would bear investigation. Within q
dayortwo the same recent employe has
charged in print that 'thc station metre
at the gas works indexed nearly fifty
million cubic feet Of gas manufactured last
year, which, rs he says, at 81 so per thou.
sand would have brought in a, revenue OF
$4,000 to the city, saying nothing Of the
sales Of coke and dtar." This, rs he says,
"does not compare with the gross receipts
irOm the gus works rs per report of Mr..
Chandler, in which there is discrepancy
OineMly $4O,OOO."
In explanation Of this reference We will
say that Mr.. Chandlcr's report shows q
total receipt from the gas works last year
OiS3I39 %, and an expenditure Of s3S,: :
$iG7. But it also shows that the city
owes for gas furnished Sll,S4o 50, which,
il paid, would swell the receipts to $685.
SIS %. This would still leave, however,
according to Graves statement, a large
amount Of gas to be accounted for.
In view Of Inst nights discovery, and in
view Of the charges referred to, it seems
high tine to have thorough overhauling
Of the gas business Of the city. We are
MOTTO forget that IN almost precisely SINH
lar occurrence took place at Bell Sire only
lev weeks ago, The books were set on fire,
the man who had charge OF them fed, and
it was discovered that he was short in his
acconntsseveal thousand dollars. Without
knowing where or upon whom the occur
renee Of last night is to fall, we urge that
this is the time to make searching in
yes'igation Of the whole gas business Of
this city, UIsAc

FIRE RECORD.


sf. LoUts, January ga St. Joseph
dispatch says that the State Lunatic Asy-
lum, adjacent to that city, was discovered
to be on fire at r. NJ, and was totally de.
stroyed. No adequate measures had ever
been provided to extinguish fire, and
bntlittle resistance could be made to the
spreading fumes. The fire originated in
the, laundry. Some Of the employees we're
slightly schorched in attempting to arrest
the progress OF the fire. The patients,
about 250in number, were safely rescued
and now occupy the Court House in that
city. Everything il being done for their
comfort, but they have suffered somewhat
from exposure and excitement. The
building was erected four years ago at a
cost OF $3.50, 600 Eighteen months ago
there was $l00, 900 insurance on It, but the
State refused an appropriation to con-
tinue the sane, therefore the loss is total.
ST. LOUIS, January ga dispatch from
st. Joseph says that at ameeting to-day Of
the Board Of Managers Of the Insane Asy-
Ianm, burned yesterday, a committee OF
architects and builders was appointed to
examine the condition OF the ruins. They
reported the walls injured not more than
one-fourth their value, and that it will not
cost more than S75, 900 to rebuild thestruc.
ture. The original cost OF the building
was about 100000.
The Board OF Trade and Workingmen's
organizations have offered the Board OF
Managers assistance in providing for the
inmates OF the asylum, and all necessary
mearlsin the way Of beds, supplies, &c.
for their care and. comfort have been
furnished. The Board have instructed
their President, Mr.. voorhees,, to report
oil the facts connected with the fire to the
General Assembly, and ask for com.
mite to thoroughly investigate the matter.
DR.. Catlett, Superintendent OF the Asy-
lum, lost nearly all Of his personal effects,
but all the records, books, &C., OF the In.
stitution were saved. All Of the employees
lost their private property, and some OF
them money, ranging in amount from one
hundred to seven hundred dollars. None
OF them deserted their posts as long as a
patient remained in the building, and this
devotion to duty cost them all their valua.

A TEAruRE or THE NEw PENSION ptl1.

There, Is one point in the pension, al.
rears' bill which, 81 Is thought, will pf6ba.
bly, be referred by the Interior Depars-
ment for construction from the Depart.
ment OF Justice. Thesnew law says the
arrearages'of pensionb shall b. paid at the
rate for which the soldiers we're originally
paid. As Congress has changed the rate
several times and The latest applicants
originally received The largest pensions,
the man who gets pensioned now gets q
heavy sum in arrearages. The totally
disabled man originally got eight dollars
per month"; now lie gets seventy-two.
The question then in case OF totally dis
abled new pensioner is whether he be
paid his arrearages at the rate Of seventy
two or eight dollars per month. The com.
missioner will ask Congress at once for an
appropriation to carrygout the law, and
that 1t be made Immediately available.
The additional evidence needed in the
cases OF those now receiving pensions will
be very slight, The Commissioner will
ask for small increase Of cleflts and that
the present pension agencies shall be re-
districted without an increase OF force.
