ANOTHER FIRE ESCAPE.
Clerks in the Busch Building to Be
Better Protected.


A commission Of inquiry has determined
that the Busch building, on e, between
Eighth and Ninth streets, occupied by "a
large part of the force OF the Sixth Audi
tors office, must he provided with at
least one more fire escape.
This building is leased by the Treasury
Department for the use or the Sixth Audi
tor of the Treasury, in whose office are
audited the accounts OF the Postoffice Ee
partnient. II is brick structure, six
stories high. 1t is not claimed, so far as
The Times man could ascertain yesterda Y,
that this is a fireproDf building. The re-
porter could not learn whether the interior
is constructed of wood or iron, but there
is a good deal Of wood work in view.
The elevator shaft runs through the
center of the building, and directly around
this shaft is the main staircase. Between
$50 and 400 clerks are employed there.
Al the back of the building leading into
an alley there is one fire escape. 1t was
claimed that this is not enough. Capt.
Merchant, disbursing officer of the Post
office Department, is the superintendent
OF the Busch building. and ii was his
opinion that the clerks of the Sixth Auditor
were not adequately protected against
fire.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion OF Sixth Auditor Henry A. Castle, who
discussed the situation with Postmaster
General Gary. Then Secretary Gage was
and the case was ia ken before
the commissioners of the District OF
Columbia. The result is that another fire
escape will be built into the front Of the
Busch building.

James LeRoy, coIored, of Chicago, has
been held for the federal grand Jury for
attempting to impersonate James Howard,
a soldier in the Forty-siXth Colored Iu-
fantry of New Orleans, and attempting
to secure a pension in bis name.
At his preliminary hearing Leroy con-
fessed that he ran away from home at
Corinth, Miss. when ten years of age,
drifted from place to place with the
soldiers, and in 1863 or 81 became ac-
quainted with Howard. After the war
Leroy Joined the militia company at II elena,
Ark, and learned few military tactics.
This gave him the idea of applying for u
pension.
