C., Nov. 19. Gazette, continuing its attacks upon Sherman's administration of the Treasury, hus the tollow- Jam under the impression that Jobn Sherman ja the greatest Treasury Tycoon that ever did or by any possibility could have existed. I possess exactly five items, s0 far a8 he is con- cerned, that I care to give publicity to 10 your next issue. They are small as compared with the material in my possession, but they are good in the way of indication. The first three items relate to bis Presidential candidacy, the initial one being the furnishing of his political nead- quarters (which occupied . SEVERAL LARGE APARTMENTS fn the Corcoran Building, opposite the Treasury Department, at the expense of the UnitedStates. Tne furniture, which included carpets, desks, lounges. chairs, etc., all came from the ‘Treasury Department, and was not returned thereto. ‘Thia is, perhaps, a little matter, but it Increases by several hundred. dollars the money amount that Sherman's Presidentia! candidacy cost the honest taxpayers of the United States. TREASURY CLERKS were employed day and nicht for months be- fore the Chicago Convention of 1880, under the direction of Treasury employés named Holland, Morris, Dyer, Bosley, and Koox, belonging to the Customs ana Internal Revenue Bureaus. ‘After the ‘convention they were all promoted over tho beads of more worthy and efficient per- sons, regardless of the protests of their respect- Ive bureau chiefs, as a reward for their labor. By this diversion of clerical ability from legiti- mate employment to the forwarding of his can- vass, Sherman manngea to absurb a few addi- tional thousand dollars of the honest taxpayers’ money. A great deal of THE STATIONERY used by Sherman during bis Presidential candl- dacy came from the stationery ollice of the Treasury Denartment, and it was a great deal. But a considerable quantity, amounting to hundreds of dollars in value, came from an en- terprising merchant of this city, whose name can be given. This bill was paid out of the Con- tingent Fund of the Treasury Department, and the disbursement charged to a large number of patent file-nolders, which were never had. Doubtless Mr. Sherman has sought, or will. do so, to obtain a receipt for his stationery bli We shall see, however. Tne Meline Commission, !n their investigation of the Custodian’s Oftice, nosed out this fraudulent voucher, but they COULD NOT FIND THE FILE-HOLDERS for which it purported to pay. Upton and Power, two of Sherman's candidacy-mansgers, told the Custodian that he had better get rid of the fraudulent file-holder voucher by paying into the Treasury the atnount thereon paid the merchant for stationery, supplied by him for Sherman's Presidential-candidacy purposes— about $500—which he did. The Custodian then went to Sherman and told him bow he had been compelled to pay out £500 for his benefit, and the greatest living Treasury Tycoon, with THE DELICATE CONSIDERATION PECULIAR TO HIMSELF, told the ex-Custodian that he would have to trust to bis generosity to get that $500 back into hia pocket. It is hardly necessary to add that the Custodian never got that $500 back, and long ago ceased to trust to the generosity of the © greatest living tnancier.” He has. recited this to nis friends—not the. Gazelic—and so you get it, There is considerable difference between the present position of the two men who were the principals in that litde intended irregularity. Sherman, the beneticiary, is a Senator of the United States from Ohio. The ex-Custodian who HAD TO.PAY THE $500 necessary to cover up the attempted fraudon the Treususy Contingent Fund in the interest of Sherman. 18 wondering how he is going to get slong during the coming winter. A PENSION FRAUD. THE LAW EVADED. Wasnrxcros, D.C., Nov. 1¥.—A man named Black, a clerk in the Pension Office. and who had allaison with a married woman, Which led toa public scandal, was the company clerk of the Twelfth Ulinois Cavalry. Yeara ago be was wounded in a brothel in the West. He arranged with a man named Ball, wno had access to the rolls in the Adjutant-General’s office, to abstract the muster-rojl of the field and staff oflicers of the Twelfth Lilinols Cavalry, Then either Black or Ball placed Black's name on the fol, reported him wounded at given date, and Blacs filed an application for pension. When the roll was examined by those searching the records, the filling in of Black's name was discovered to be in new ink, which led to-the discovery, and Black’s discharge. Next the Pension lice authorities got it down ne, and believed that Ball did the work. They were ready to prosecute when it was discovered the muster-roll had been abstracted. Ball was discharged yesterday, but there being no way to prove that he actually abstracted the roll, and hence the evidence of bis guilt bemg removed, he could not be proceeded against criminally for want of evidence. THE SPEAKERSHIP. FOUR CANDIDATES. Rpectat Dispatch to The Caica~» Tribune, ‘Wastixcros, D. C., Nov. 19.—Four candidates Keifer, Hiscock, Kasson, and Burrows—have already arrived here'and opened thetr quarters. All speak with reasonable contidence of their chances, although Keifer and Hiscock are some- ‘What more positive in their public declarations. Kelfer has acontidence which surprises bis op- posing candidates, inasmuch as they are unable totell from what source bis strength comes, DutMr. Kelfer has made a very diligent and earnest personal canvass, and to those who are near to him, and whom he can trust, he speaks Of votes enough to seemingly insure his success ‘the canvass, ‘ i Mik. HISCOCK 48 not less confident in private, and he has some arguments which Keifer’s friends find it ditli- cultto answer. The maine scheme of Hiscock, evidently, is in the multiplicity of Western can- Gidates, and it is learned that some Western men opposed to candidates from their own 6ec- Uon, who secretly favor Hiscock, are endeavor- ing to encourage the multiplicity of candidates, and for this reason it is believed that one oF two more Western men may snnounce them~ Selves as candidates. The supporters Of THE OTHER WESTERN CANDIDATES Will insist that additional candidates can only mean a morementin the interest of Hiscock, or ot'some other Eastern candidate. The fact that the-Western candidates are so much divided is the one which most seziously threatens the de- | feat of any Western man. Mr. Reed, of Maino, has not yet arrived here, and it cannot be learned tha: any very active canvass has been commenced on‘ his behalf. “He undoubtedly and Properly. relies upon the solid vote of New Eogland, and- thé only one who has made any claim to beable to withdraw any New England votes from Mr. Keed is Mr.Dunnell. of Minnesotn, who relies upon bis Maine nativity and relationships to s2- cure bim support there. Mr. Kasson is con- ducting an exceedingly quict canvass, and is a man very fertile in resources. He has little to euy publicly, but his rivals will not be wise in disregarding him. THE MRETING IN. CHICAGO of a number of Northwestern Congressmen in tho interess of Kasson bas given other candidates“ some concern, as in thut meeting were a number of members who, it had been supposed, were the supporters of other candidates, Mr. Burrowa will start witn the full support of ‘bis delegation, with the pussible exception ot Mr. Hubbell, who has sume aspirations himself to be adark-norse cundi- date, and Mr. Burrows bas other supporters throughout the West, The canvass for the Speakersbip will very uctively begin next week, and, in anticipation of it, the hotels bave al- ready received applications fora large number of rooms. : OFFICIAL RASCALITY.

The constantly recurring and frightful ac eldents upon freight and passenger elevators call for something more than a passing notice or a mere recordof the killed and wounded. The passenger elevator is re- garded_as one of the greatest. mechan al conveniences and luxuries of our progressive age. There is no doubt of its ability to lessen or overcome the inevitable law of gravity and transport us from the bottom to the top of the highest buildings, making the upper Stories as accessible us the lower ones, and 1o most persons far more pleasant and r- able. Butone.thiny is needed to make all rer benefits a substantial reality—that is, satel: ~ The recent disaster at the Belvedere Hotel in New York City carries with 1t a terror that makes every person shudder who is a constant patron of the elevator. If this were the only disaster of the kind, and. if we could be reasonably convinced that others of a like character could not reasonably occur, ne community would feela degree of security that it does not now enjoy. ‘The elevator accidents recorded. in the past followed so close upun one another, and some of them were of such a horritying char- acter, that we are led to inquire if there can be no escape from such disasters. There are hundreds perhaps of safety de- yices, commencing with the old-fashioned ratchet and dog, or pawl, of which there are numerous kinds. These are what are known amongst elevator men as “the sudden stop,” and are but little used among first-class ele- yator builders, for. the reason that, unless the pawl acts instantly when the car com- mences. to fall, they are of no service, but rather an element of danger, as, if the pawis should catch while the car is in rapid de- scent, the sudden concussion of*iron st ing upon iron would inevitably tear ever: thing into pieces. ‘I'his is the record uf the “dog and ratchet”? ‘There are many other satety devices de- signed to stop the car suddenly, gsuch as cauls, eccentrics, ete., all of which are de- signed to act suddenly, hence if the car at- tainsahigh rate of speed te concuss! must necessarily bealmost, if not quite, great as if. the car. had struck upon a s id Toundation. These devices can ‘searcely be considered as an improvement over the old “dog and ratchet.” Elevator manufactur- ers have apparently forgotten that there is such a Jaw or principle as friction, which, if properly applied with accumulative force, would effectually hold and stop any descend- ing body, providing you have anything to hold on to, and n ively applied to the guide-ways of an ele- yator with a graduated force, wesee no mechanical reason why a falling car cannot be slowed up and stopped with as much ease and certainty ‘as the “ Westinghouse brake” ‘ean slow upand stop a train of cars. Butto do this, the act of the car falling must. produce the power to apply te friction, for you cannot depend: upon human ewateutalness to await the coming of the acci- ent. "A train of cars under a high rate of speed will be forced toa standstill by the law of gravity, if you cease to apply the propelling power, but an elevator upon its track, or guide-way, unlike the train of cars, must have power applied to counteract the Haw OF gravity or it will increase its speed fearful velocity party, havo tanta, to the end of the route. This perhaps may seem such a self-evident itlus- tration as to be void of app yn, but we give itfor the purpose of directing the in- yentive genius to the successful appli of areliable friction force to the controlling of the elevator car, All parts of the Jifting aparatus, as well, as the wire cables at- tached, pulleys, shafts, ete., belonging to an elevator, are under constant motion, strain, and wear. In all machines propelled from a drum, or cylinder, the wire cables are bent four times in opposit directions at each trip the car makes, or if it is ~.a multiple’ sheave — machine the bending process goes on in proportion to the multiplication, and a corresponding strain and deterioration result to every wearing portion of the whole apparatus. Jt js almost a: wonder that more accidents do not occur under this continuous reversing and bending process. But when. we realize the fact that elevators are of recent produc- tion we ean readily sev that time has not had a sufficient oppurtunity to destroy the un- changed or unwatched portions of the m chine. Yet the time will come when rene’ fis of every Jaboring portion of the anachine must be made or disaster will surely Tullow. ‘We have briefly referred toa poruion of the various safety devices, and none of them so far have gained the public’ confidence. There is one more dexice which has been plaved before the public for its approval or disapproval, and from what we have wit- nessed, and from the popular verdict and the numerous tests that have been made before the public, the. “air cushion”. has most certainly proved a_ safety, appli- ance, not merely. in name, but in tact. In our own ely the appliance was used first at the Chamber of Commerce, an tested with great success. Next it was tried at the Grand Pacific Hotel, some two years ago. At this place a most successful test was. made by dropping - the elevator six stories to the ‘Bottom ‘without the least’ in- jury, and subsequently this elevator by acci- dent fell some five stories with fifteen. per- sons in it, not one of whom was injured. Numerous applications have been made of this device to many of our best buildings, and in every instance the owners and occu- if this principle can be effect-" |, READY-MADE DRESSES. , Are now duane the Largest . ; Finest Assortment READY-MADE Dresses In this city.

Any meritorious life-savine in- vention we feel bound to acknowledge the merits of, most certainly after it has_ passed through the ordeal of public criticism. ‘There have been numerous tests of this principle of catching a falling car by means of compressed air at the bottom of the shaft, and in eyery instance the test has proved perfect, giving the greatest satisfac- tion. These tests have been made not only in Chicago, but in many of the most promi- nent buildings in almost every city in the Union, Elevator cars have been dropped 125 feet with 4,000 and 5,000 pounds weight, land- ing at the bottom withouta jar; hundreds of persons have taken the rapid ride, and all unite in expressing entire confidenee in its absolute safety. The “ air-cushion” is only designed to in- sure safety in ease the car. falls to the bot- tom. We are, however, firmly convinced that the power of. friction can be applied to either the iron or wooden guideways so as effectively to prevent a too rapid descent. We make this suggestion, and ‘hope some in yentive genius will perfect a friction appli- ance to act in conjunction with the air-cush- ion, and thus disarm the elevator of its ter- rors. BILLIARDS.
