ABOLISHED THE OFFICE.
And Superintendent Pugsley Thus Loses
His Position.

Secretary Tracy has ended controversy
that recently arose in the Washington navy
yard as to the need of the services of Mr.. J. w.
Pugsley, who was superintendent OF the con-
struction Of the new ordnance shop. On the
LIST of July Mr.. Pugsley'S name was dropped
from the rolls upon the report Of Commander
Folger, the superintendent Of ordnance, that
his services were no longer necessary, but Mr..
Pugsley made a strong effort to be retained.
bringing some influence to bear on the Secre-
tary, who finally consented to return the case to
Capt. Meade, commandant of the yard, with the
request that he give information as to whether
or not MIR. Pugsley was a necessity in the yard.
The report that came back was rather more in
Mr.. Pugslay's favor than that Of Capt. Folger,
but the Secretary had in the meantime been
gathering evidence in the case and perempto-
rily decided that the building was sufficiently
advanced to be now carried ON without the SUI
perintendence Of an expert at the rate Of S1O a
day, and he therefore declared that the office
was abolished. Mr.. Pugsley and his hackers
came to argue the matter, bnt the Secretary
was immovable and when he was approached
by applicants 'for the vacancy he told them
that there was no vacancy, for the position had
ceased to exist

number Of Georgetown people have been
decidedly critical over the complaint which
was lodged against Bridge Keeper Lucas be-
cause he had no lights displayed at night at
the barricade which closes the eastern end
Of the bridge. II was not deemed necessary
to hang lamps on the barricade, because right
over the center Of the obstruction is an arc
electric light which makes the timbers as easily
visible as they are in day time. Since the COM
plant, however, Mr.. Lucas has hung two OIL
lamps on the cross pieces, but their feeble
glimmering is extinguished by the electric
illumination.

referred to by Col. Peter Hams in his annual re-
port. and all the expenditures on it's construc-
ton are accounted for
