The New Pension ONCE BuiIdtnp.

Workmen are busily engaged on the founda-
ton walls of the new pension Office building
in Judiciary Square, and if the winter is a
mild one, it is probable that the foundation
work will be entirely completed, and work
on the brick superstructure will be COM
menced early in the spring The brick to be
employed in building the walls will be of the
same quality as those used in the National
Museum building, and it is estimated that
about nine millions rough brick will bc re-
quired for inner work, six hundred thousand
pressed brick for outer facing of walls, and
one hundred and sixty thousand nodded
to patterns for string courses, windows doors,
SC. Proposals for furnishing the brick for
the superstructure have been received from
the Washington brick company, w. H. West
& Co. and Childs & Son, of Washington, and
from Burns, Russell & Co., of Baltimore, and
the samples of each bidder have been for
warded to the Watertown arsenal in Massa-
chusetts for the purpose Of having their
strength carefully tested before making the

seoond-Class Mail Matter.

A statement of the number of pounds of
second-class mail matter which passed
through tho mails at the rate of 2 cents a
pound during the three months ended Sep
tember 30, 1882, has been prepared by Third
Assistant Postmaster General Hazen. The
tables show that 1858, ,179 pounds of this kind
of matter passed through the mails during tho
quarter, while under the law, 3,6ll,65
pounds were mailed free. The proportion of
paid to unpaid matter was therefore S45 per
cent, to 1875 per cent. The revenue collected
on paid matter amounted to $393, ,743 5S,
while the free matter, if charged at the same
rate, 2 cents pound, would have amounted
to S72,233.12. The proportion of paid to un-
paid matter mailed at the 1873 free delivery
offices, was 97.2 per cent. to 2.s per cent; at
the 4,S65 non-free offices, sos per cent. to
49.4 per cent, or about one-half.

A Baseless Rumor.

There were some very ugly rumors going
around last night, affecting the character and
morals of a gentleman of high social and
official standing. THE REPUBLICAN sought
out the story and its basis and found there
was not the slightest foundation for them.
The gentleman whose character was thus
tossed around and maligned, spent the even
ing with a friend who puts the matter be-
yond doubt by his explanation, and those
who were wagging their heads over the
rumor last night may rely upon this denial
while those who were undisturbed by 1t must
do the best they can to conquer curiosity.

There is a prospect of highly interesting
exhibition of specification and models of

the special senate committee ON heavy ord

of the 18th of July last. Inventors and manu-
facturers of New York, Boston, and Pitts
BURG have signifed their intention of max
ing exhibits and arguments to the committee.
1t is likely that the committee, which is made
up of the chairmen of the military and naval

tend its inquiries into the subject of marine
armament, as well as coast defenses.

further extension of two years shall be granted
for all whisky manufactured and now In bond,

A SAFETY RAILWAY STOVE.
One That When Overturned Extinguishcs
the Fire Itself


One of the most valuable inventions of recent
years is w. F. Cowdon's Car Heater, n stove in
tended for. railway cars, which will efectually
prevent in future the terrible fires which in
variaby accompany railway collisions and acci-
dents. The heater is 80 inches high 16 inches in
diameter, and is made of boiler iron surrounded
by the ornamental work usually seen on stoves
Beneath the ash pan there is an air chamber,
under which is n six gallon copper water tank,
protected on all sides with boiler iron. From this
tank run three pipes which enter the bottom of
the coal pot above the burning Goals. These
pipes are stopped by automatic plugs.
When the stove is moved out the perpendicular,
or toppled over as car stoves invariably are in
railway accident the automatic pldgs fall from
the mouth OF the pipes. and the water from the
tho tank is precipitated into the coal pot, and
every particle of fire extnguished. The opening
through which the smoke escapes to the stove-
pipeandithe doors Of the heater are protected by
automatic slides or dampers, which close up when
the stove is disturbed and prevent the possibility
of any fire or Goals falling out Yesterday afternoon
the stove was tested at Treiber's garden, corner
Eighth and streets northwest, in the presence
OF Second Assistant Postmaster General Elmer,
several railway and Post Office officials, THE RE.
PUBLICAN man, and several other gentlemen. The
stove was heated TO- an intense degree, and shay
ings, pieces of wood and other combustible mate
rials when placed upon the boiler iron, of which
the stove is made burst Instantly into flames. All
preparations havi ing been made the stove was
overturned into bed of sbavings and rolled over
and over, the steam meanwhile escaping in large
quantities In a minute and half the stove
doors were opened and every vesge of fire had been
extihguished. The shavings upon which the stove
was overturned were not even charred, the escap-
ing steam having drenched them thoroughly. All
the spectators W ere greatly surprised and pleased
with the exhibition of what they considered
would be the means of saving the many lives and
vast amount of property lost through the over
turning OF car stoves i'll collisions and accidents
