WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 DIR. Ainsworth,
who by a special bill in congress has
been placed in charge of the record and
pension division of the war department
with the rank of colonel, aud who is en-
trusted with the entire administration
OF pension matters, as far as they relate
to the army records, was examined yes
terday before a sub committee of the
house on the question of transferring
the whole pension system to the war de-
partment. Ills evidence was racy.
Speaking of the suggested transfer, he
said: $50 far as I am personally con-
cerned, 1 am opposed to it. 1t quad
ruples the labor and responsibility, but
whether you make the change or not,
one of the first things you ought
to do is to straighten out the
affairs of the pension office.
There is an Office, which of all others,
ought to be conducted as nearly like a
private business concern as possible. 1t
has most unbusinesslike methods and
there is one very good reason for it. No
commissioner, whether the present one
or a new appointee of President Cleve-
lands, can bring order out of chaos
there, because he has no authority to
keep order and discipline refractory or
worthless employees. You can set this
down as the rule with few exceptions,
that the more worthless a public en-
ploye is, the greater amount of influ.
ence he possesses. A good man is usu-
ally man without influence; but a
drunkard, loafer or insubordinate
trifler is man who has 30 much influ-
ence that the chief of his bureau cannot
get him out

fire. Upon investigation it was found that
the building owned by William Price, on
Railroad street, was wrapped in flames. In a
short time the fire had spread to the two
adjoining houses and for while it looked as
if the entire square would be destroyed.

means. A number of our young men fought
the flames bravely and it was only by their
efforts the remainder Of the square was
saved The properties of John Elliott,

burned to the ground, aud the one owned by

fire was caused by spark from a passing
