FireI FireI

Last Sunday morning about half
past three o'clock an alarm of fire
was raised, and it was soon ascertain
ed that the Office of the County Clerk
in the south east corner of the Court
House was in flames. The fire was
first discovered by some young men
who were out late; then about the
time they saw the fire, the three in
mates of the jail yelled Justify. Some
people came from every direction.
The hose cart was got out and soon
got into position. The hose was at
tached to a hydrant at the south west
corner of the square and IN short
time a stream of water was thrown
through the door and into the Office.
The flames were quickly subdued but
not till after nearly everything in the
room had become charred badly or
entirely ruined. Nearly all the books,
stationery, furniture, ETC., was de-
stroyed and a big hole was burned
through the floor. We learn that
County Clerk Barnes says he left the
Office between four and five O'Clock
Saturday afternoon and has no idea
how the fire originated. Some have
thought it may have started from
cigar stubs thrown into wooden cuspa
doris filed with saw dust. The books
destroyed are fortunately not of great
value. No records affecting real
estate nor decisions of court are KEEP
lin the County Clerks Office. Had i
not been for the PhIlllpsburg CIT.
Water Works the entire court housC
would have been destroyed without
doubt. The boys who operated TIA
hose are to be very much commende'
for the splendid work they did.

Passing away.

The men who fought down the re-
bellion are passing away in such rap
idly increasing numbers that the
death rate is beginning to tell mater
tally upon the pension rolls. Last
November Investigations. caused by
the non-arrival OF many vouchers, re-
suited in dropping over 400 names
from the rolls of the Indiana agency.
Since that time closer track has been
kept of the deaths, and during jan
uary seventy-six names were dropped,
while sixty-seven came off during
February.
"Of course" said Pension Agent
Ehsley yesterday, the deaths do not
come anywhere near the additions to
to the rolls that are brought by the
new laws right along, but it is only a
question of few years until the rolls
will begin to decrease rapidly, just as
the death rate is rapidly increasing
now. Heretofore, however, fully 20
per cent. of the pensioners dying
have left widows to be placed upon
the rolls, with families of children,
who remain on until Is years of age.
And the strange thing about it is
that the most of these widows are
young. In fact, there are frequently
cases where it looks very much as
though young woman had married
an aged or invalid pensloner with no
other purpose than to get a widows
pension. Particularly is this true in
cases where the pension has not yet
been allowed, and often the grant
does not come until after the appli-
cant is dead, in which case all the
back pay goes to his family. There
have been payments under such cir
cumstences ranging from 5000 to Sc,
600 at one time.
THAT sort of thing will decrease
in the future, however" continued
Captain Ensley. by provision of
the disability law of last June mar
riages made after that date do not en-
title widows to pensions. This pro-
vision is not very generally known,
nor its importance appreciated. Had
the old law remained IN force We
would have been paying widows pen
sions for two generations yet."-In-
