WHATSOEVER BLACK EXAMINED AS TO AN
OTHER CASE IN WHICH HE CLAIMS A PEN
SION WAS IMPROPERLY ALLOWED.
The Senate committee on public expenditures
to-day resumed the investigation of Pension
Commissioner Black with regard to his charges
that political considerations had influenced de-
cisions in pension claims under his predecessor.
The case of Private b. 7. Worrell, OF the lst
New Jersey volunteers, who was awarded a
pension because OF the loss of a leg i'm 1868 at
or near Alexandria, Na was taken up. Ii was
alleged that the injury was sustained while the
showed that " orrell was granted a pension of
50 month, and that it was increased to SIS
The pension was granted in 1866, and on the
2Sth of September, 1875, he was dropped from
the rolls. Claimant appealed and the case went
through the various divisions of the office. The
commissioner decided that Worrell should not
be restored. The case was examined and the
commissioners decision finally approved by
the Secretary OF the Interior. immediately
after Commissioner Dudleys confirmation
Worrell wrote him a letter congratulating him
and appealing tor restoration. This letter was
written upon paper bearing the letter head OF
the New Jersey Republican association, and in
it Worrell intimated that his troubles with his
case had probably been caused by democrats.
Meantime Special Examiner Richardson had
examined w OrrelPS case and taken testimony
and upon that he reported in iavor OF the claim
ants restoration. This was reviewed by MT.
HickoX, OF the board OF review, who reported
that Worrell was not wounded in the line of
duty, and that Richardson's report called for
no favorable action. Upon this an order of
Commissioner Dudley was issued, taking Rich
ardson'S report as the correct one and restoring
Worrell to the rolls.
Gen. Black positively avowed the opinion
that the pension was improperly allowed and
said he could prove that by testimony outside
OF the record.
Mr.. HARRISON preferred to stick to the record
at present, Saying ample opportunity would be
given for other proof.
Gen. Black refused to be bound by the record
alone, and after an animated discussion the
committee adjourned with the Worreu case
still pending

The Water Works Tunnel.

WHAT COL. CASEY FAvORs DOING.
When Col. Casey was consulted by the Dis
trict subcommittee OF the House appropria-
tions committee, he recommended that the
aqueduct tunnel should be completed in the
most substantial manner possible, and favored
more expensive tunnel lining even than that
estimated for by Major Lydecker, who proposes
that the tunnel be lined with brick wall and
dry packing. Col. Casey recommended brick
wall and concrete packing. The concrete lin
Ing suggested by Capt. Hoxie would be salts.
factory, he thought, it it is possible to line the
tunnel in that way. He had no ex-
perience in the use of concrete in that
way. He thought that work of such mapni-
tude and Importance the tunnel should be
completed in the very best manner possible, to
avoid all danger of any defects. When the
tunnel is once in operation it will be necessary
to remove 100000 gallons OF water before
any mistakes can be corrected or repairs made
COL Casey gave his views without any regard
to the recommendations of Major Lydecker or
Capt Hoxie, but simply as an engineer con-
suited by virtue of his position. He criticised
neither of the recommendations made, but
simply urged that the work be done in the very
best way, regardless Of expense.

VIENNA, April 2L-The condition of affairs
at Stry among the people who lost their homes
by the great fire is most pitiable. Most of the
victims are without food or means and are rem
dered desperate by the thought of starvation.
The farmers in the vicinity have been visited
by mobs OF men, who have first demanded food,
and then, IL refused, stole Ii. Owners OF farms
are now compelled 10 barricade their houses as
the only way To guard them from being plum
dered of food by the mob, w hich on account OF
hunger is becoming uncomfortable. Numerous
struggles for food resulting in bloodshed have
taken place.
All the public archives aud registers of Stry
were lost in the fire. 1t will be necessary to ask
grants OF money from the Lemberg diet and the
reichsrath to relieve the distress of thousands
OF destitute people.
The search for the remains of persons who lost
their lives during the contiagration has been
proceeding as rapidly as the circumstances
would allow. Thus far siXty-eight bodies,
