n CLERKS.

BY the last census OF the executive de-
partment In Washington there were l05
persons over 10 years Of age employed as
clerks by the government. and IL is prob
able that the number has nearly doubled
since that time. There are sixty super
animated clerks in the treasury depart
ment alone, and most Of them are in
capable Of performing any important
duty. Some OF them are drawing salaries
as high rs $500 u year; others $1,000.
$l.400 and $1,000 There is no pension
list for civil service employees. In the
army aud navy q man Is retired on half
or two-thirds pay when he reaches the
age OF 81 years. Secretary Gage has been
studying the question very carefully. and
has decided that II is only fair TO the
government that clerks who are inespaeI.
tated by age should receive only a cores
pOnding amount Of their salary. Hence,
he has issued an order reducing the sixty
veterans who have passed three score and
ten to 5000 a year. which Is an adequate
pension.

DIVISION ENGINEER REVIVED.
The Office Re-es,a bliShed and J. n. Meade
Transferred 10 Topeka.

htauohNAiNe W hVhNhef
The Office Of division engineer Of the
Santa Fe In this city, which was estab.
lished several years ago, is TO be re estsb-
lished after the first Of the year. says the
Topeka State Journal. J. NJ. Meade, at
present residen engineer at Pueblo, Colo,
Is TO be transferred TO Topeka to take
charge OF the office.
Mr.. Meade's transfer will be but one
step In a general reorganizltio Of the
Santa Fe engineering force. At least this
Is the desire OF Chief Engineer James
Dun, and 1t Ia understood that President
Ripley will accede 10 II. During the ex.
tensive improvements made last year IL
was found that the present force was
hardly sufficient 10 handle the work, and
Chief Engineer Dan proposes TO remedy
this for the improvements next year by
materially increasing the number OF
men employed.
At present there are but four division
engineers, and NJ. n. Wells, resident en-.
gineer at Chanute, handles all Of the en-
cheering work OF the Southern Kansas
and eastern divisions. After Mr.. Meade's
transfer the engineering work will be
divided between the Office in Topeka. the
office 1T Chsnnte and the Office at New
ton, In charge OF W. II. Karl II Is also
possible that another resident engineer
will b. placed on tbs Chicago division TO
divide the work with c. A. Morse, aud
the work Of the western, New Mexico ant
Rio Grande divisions, now handled by
Mr.. Meade at Pueblo, be placed in charge
Of two division engineers.
The reorganization and enlargement Of
the force may be but temporary, lasting
only a long as II requires to complete
the improvement OF the Santa he road
bed. At the least this will mean two
years.
Mr.. Meade's Office will be- In the diyis-
ion building, near the depot. The estab
lishment Of tho Office will give work e
several field men.
A successor 10 Mr.. Meade az resident
engineer at Pueblo has not yet been
named.

The horribly mutilated remains OF a
man were found on the railroad track,
about a mile west OF Kingman, last
Thursday morning. Bits OF flesh, bones
and clothing were scattered along the
track a hundred yards or more. Tho
body was literally ground to pieces AMI
presented a s~ickening sight. Only the
lower part Of the face, one arm and a
portion OF the breast were left together.
The man had either been stealing a ride
on the brakebeam and had fallen of, or
had been run down by an outgoing
freight. The remains were taken in
charge by the coroner. Nothing that
would throw any light on the identity OF
the unfortunate man was found Before
the c%orOner's jury u witness testified that
he believed the name OF the dead man
was Bennett and thai he had worked on
the big storage dam at Walnut during
