Illegally ON the Pension Rolls.

Washington Special.-Tho discovery OF a
large number OF names on the pension
rolls at Philadelphia and Washington
Of persons no longer entitled to draw
pensions has induced Commissioner Black
to start system OF verifca ton OF pen.
sion rolls at other points. The verifica-
tion at the Chicago office has just been COM
pleted, and it is alleged that $50 names
have been found that should not be there.
These arc said to be the names of persons
now deceased, and widows Of soldiers who
have again married and thus forfeited their
rights topension. 1t does not appear, how
ever, that money has been paid out on ac-
count Of these $50 names, and the dis.
coyery is important only as it will enable
the commissioner to revise and reduce itl.
ture cstimates for appropriations. Here
tofore it has been the custom to make up
the annual estimate on the number OF
names carried on the rolls for tho preceding
year. The death Of Q pensioner or
the marriage OF widow are not re-
ported to the Office, and the names
Of such continue on the list, and perhaps
in the case Of the latter class q few contin.
uc to draw pension. The verifcation now
in progress will purge the rolls OF all names
that should be stricken off, and thus a
more correct estimate for future appropri.
ations willbe reached. tits not alleged that
any fraud exists ut the Chicago Office in
connection with this matter.

ALarge Load Of Logs.

Some time ago Harper's Weekly drew
some unfavorable comment to itself bv
cut purporting to represent load Of
fourteen logs loaded in one Of the Wis.
consin timber camps. 1t was said by
the untraveled Easterner, who had been
taught that one log was big load for a
team, that no team could STIR such
load, even if it could be made up. The
present issue Of the Weekly vindicates
its former statement. In half page
cut of Michigan lumber scenery it gives
o load Of twenty logs with tho driver
perched on tho top of the pile, appar.
emily on level with the surrounding
tree tops. The letter which e.
companies the photograph from which
the illustration was taken states that the
load was made up in one of the numer-
GUS camps of the Gratwick, Smith g.
Fryer Lumber Company of Tonawanda.
The logs we're sixteen feet long and seal.
ed IA, sos feet, board measure. Itwas
hauled, four miles and banked in Otseeo
Lake, Michigan. It is reckoned tho
largest load Of pine logs ever handled
by one team.
