railroads have made an agreement TO share
through California business from the east, and
Southern California business to the east. The

THE NEW PENSION BUILDING.
The Complaints of the Clerks-The Act
Gen. Meiss.

The clerks and other employees at the new
fenslon building in Judiciary square, have
mace many complaints of dampness of the
building. After the heavy storm three or four
days ago, the water leaked through the frescoed
ceilings on the second floor. In the commits
sloners room the water made a wide stain or
track down one of the walls In other parts of
the building pieces of plaster fell. and water
had to be mopped up from the floors. Hon.
William E. Mclean, the acting commissioner
OF pensions, when these things occurred, adj
dressed a letter to Gen. Meigs, calling attention
to these leaks, and to what he considered
the 1nadequacy of the sanitary arrange
ments OF the building. Mr.. Mclean stated
large force OF clerks who were alarmed about
the consequences to their health during the
winter following upon this damp condition of
the building. The letter also said the toilet or
cioset accommodation was hardly adequate for
a force of 600 people, though double that num-
Der are now employed in the building, and an
addition of 300 more is soon expected.
Gen. Me1gs, in reply, stated that the leaks
complained OF had been caused by the careless
ness OF workmen walking over the root, and
would be remedied. He took issue, however,
sanitary appliances of the building, giving the
result of his own personal inspection. The tot
let rooms were never crowded, he said, except
in the morning, just after Office hours began,
work.
Mr.. Mclean is of the opinion that the office
cannot regulate the hours for using the toilet
rooms, and the only remedy is an increase OF
the accommodations
Acting Commissioner Mclean said to a STAR
reporter to-day that he was averse, as a new OF.
fetal, to getting into controversy with Gen.
Meigs, but acting commissioner he had
deemed it his duty to the large force of clerks
there, whose health and comfort were at stake
to call attention TO these matters.

Democrats Encouraged.

THEY RECEIVE PRIVATE DISPATCHES STATING
THAT THEY HAVE SECURED A MAJORITY OF
THE OHIO LEGISLATURE ON JOINT BALLOT
Quite early this morning rumors were in cir
culation about the streets that the democrats
had carried Hamilton county, Ohio, and had
thus secured a majority on joint ballot in the
legislature. At first this was generally dis
credited, even by democrats, but the report
was reiterated until it began to create an inn
preston. Between noon and one o'clock the
statement was made that private dispatches
from Cincinnati positively asserted that the
democrats had the legislature by two ma
jority on joint ballot. By this time
the interest OF democrats in the Ohio election
was running high: On every hand men of the
party proclaimed their joy. "If We have downed
John Sherman that is glory enough for me-"
II had rather do that than elect q thousand
doadlys," said another.
One dispatch came this morning from Mr..
John Mclean, who stated that the legislature
would be democratic by three majority.
Another telegram from an attach6 OF the
mouse sergeant-at-arm's Office, who is voter In
cincinnati, and now there, said the democrats
had TWO majority on joint ballot
Inc republicans did not credit the claim of
cemocratic legislature, however. Some Of
them said that II the report were true the result
was brought about by democratic fraud In
Hamilton county.

The young apprentice had q like pur-

of these he invited to hold ~religious|
services with him in his room. These
invited others to meet with them fort

mems meetings for young men became
a movement among the London trades
aud in 1874 they led to the forming Of

The society spread. Its influence
was felt throughout England; America
took up the work; the islands of the Pa

SECURITY,

Sometimes the day grows bleak and dark,
The storm beats wild and sore,
Borne on the swelling flood, my bark
Drifts fast toward rocky shore.
But, ere its bow has touched the reef.
Swift prayer has pierced the sky;
me Lord, who rules the sea, relief
Has sent for danger nigh.
So storms, by Satan's malice sent
To drive a-wreck my soul,
Sink covering and impotent,
Beneath tho Christ's control.
Then hush, my soul, thy loud complaint,
When skies are overcast,
Deliverance hastes: be thou content
Since Gods love holds thee fast.

Not a Good Plan,

In some parts Of England public
school teachers are paid according to
the standing Of the pupils on examina-
ton day. The result is not all good,
for some of the pupils are over-driven
by the teacher. The teacher is thus
much like the Chicago cabman whose
wages are greater the more he whips
his horse. AS many would rather
walk home than ride to the music of a
whip, 80 one would better let the chill
dren pick up a small education of one
or two years thx have them driven
along many years so as to Justify the
salary of the driver. In Grecce, palda-
