HEADsMAN CLARKsoN says he resigned
because his salary was only $4,000, and
hc paid $4,000 for house rent and $500
for stable, leaving him 800 for the
rest Of his expenses. No wonder he re-
signed. His services to the government
were small and were amply paid, but he
spent year in hard work for the g. o. p.
to the neglect of public business, and
thore is no reason why Quay should not
have put the thumbscrews on the de-
partment clerks and raised handsome
salary for his lieutenant

difficulty i'll escaping and all on the upper
floor escaped. though at least thirty were
more or less injured, and two have died
from burns and bruises. Russell b. Harri-
son was on the stairway leading from the
second to the first floor at the time of the
