Third Anditor’s Report. NUMBER OF PENSIONERS—THE EIGHT-HOUR CLAIMS, The report of the third auditor ef the Treas. ury department, just completed, shows the number of pension -rs on the roll at present as follows: Revolutionary half pay, 1,557; invalid 99,804; widows, 5; and others, not inclading rep, 112,085; | war of 1S12, 23,319; tot ‘8. The amount of money paid to pension crs at the Washington agency footed up 8741,704 35, The au‘li*cr, in speaking of the claims filed by employes of the Quartermaster's department in regard to the eight-hour law, says: Mach diff cuity has been experienced in fixing upon « proper basis on which settlements can be mate. It seemed necessary that all claims accruing under the act should be received before action should be taken On any of them. Alli the rolls have not yet been received, but as s00n as they reach the office, settlements will be made. The ‘t-hour claims from men employed in the Engineer department, have been adjusted. The experience of each new year demonstrates more clearly the necessity of a limitation upon the time within which claims may be presented to the exgcutive departments. A proper limitation would seem to be three years from the time when the claim accrued, with one year after the passages of the act in case of claims which accrued more than two years previous to the passage of the act.

Goldsmith Maid Makes the Quickest Time Ever Made in Chicay: There were about 3,000 people at Dexter Park yesterday, attracted by the announcement of a rot between Goldamith Maid, Gloster and Ba- shaw, Jr. The track was good, though the day not extremely so. It was damp and cloudy, aud rajn fell toward the close of the afternoon in a drizzling shower. It was understood that Doble would drive the Maid down very low, and ther: was a good deal of excitement and interest at tached to the exhibition—for, of course, it was to be no race. The first heat developed no speed the time being 2:54. On the second, howev. Budd let the mare out, and she cleanly tarn the track in 2:18—the best time ever made at Dexter Park, and the best that has been male anywhere for some time. The third heat was trotted in 2:22, . as it was not deemed necessary te crowd the thing any farther. Gloster was second in all the heats. The trot was only of moment as an exhibition of what the Maid can do, apd as proving the assertion that ‘2:20 can’t be beaten at Dexter Park” a big mistake.— Chicogo Inter-Ocean, Vth.

Therun to Buffalo over the new road was made at a rate of speed (a portion of the way at the rate of 60 miles to the hour) to test its capacity. Its grades in crossing the Alle- banies are, on the eastern side at the sharpest, 10 feet to the mile, and on the western 9) feet At ll p.m. we were quartered handsomely at the Tifft House. BUFFALO. ‘Thursday (yesterday) was allotted to the work of “doing” Buffalo, and the active committee of arrangements blocked out # very compre- hepsive and complete programme, which was carried out to the letter, a somewhat exceptional instance, it may be added. First, we were The Courier has a curious “Art Gallery,” in which the illustrations are colossal wood cuts in and fitting work for wome 1, and tn her opinion itismucn more suitable for them than ma occupations they now follow. She is a member of the Typographical Union, and therefore on good terms with the male printers. The tnqvity was made whether women could stand the ar and tear of work on a morning T, as well ae the day work of a jo» office, and she seemed t» think they could endare what men could in that kind of work. Inthe finer printing of the same office, female “feeders” are employed in prefer ence to men, for the reason, theemployers say that they are neater, and do not soil the paper in handling, as men do. AN “ELEVATING " BUSINESS. Buffalo has thirty-tive clevators, and our next move, after a brief visit to the Board o Trate rooms, was along the harbor front the tal array of grain-movers. Buffalo has some «ix nillions of dollars invested in grain elevators and sees through ber new taeilities for getting coal an opportunity to make herself a gral center. By steam barges grain can be trans ported in four days from Chicago to Buifalo at & minimum cost to that by rail. Builalo send West as return freight authracite coal at s rate much cheaper, also, than when sent by rail; therefore, according to Bu‘falo’> idea, future is big with promise in the way of th employment of ail these elevators. They arc run now, net in rmpetition but through an association by which only such asare actually needed are emp ebare in the tolls. Our trip upon the water front was upon the steam yacht Falcon, belonging to the Falcon Club, composed of leading citizens of Ba‘fato and after an inspection of the elevators; the immense coal, !amber, and iron-ore wharfage the iron-works; the new international bridge to the Canada side, &c., Ac., an excursion was taken down the Niagara river to the Fal Club-house on Grand Island, a roomy edifice on an elevated plateau, with tine trees and grassy slopes tothe river. This must be a delightia resort in summer, and the more espacially as the me rs sensibly take their wives and fam ilies along.

Atter getting over the fence somebody else tov hold of Leggett’s arms, and led him. He says that he next saw Wason standing, having h of Leggett, who was the leaning agalns tree. Then he saw them sudden! bank. He continzed: “1 was entirely ignorant thatt was great surprised to see them disappear, aad im y, they must have slipped down a bank; th of a precipice never struck me: my natural im- pulse was to help them, and acting upon it I Tan or moved diagynally off the cli ‘as init!~ into this society about three weeks ago, and enjoyed it very much; the initiation hed not commenced with Leggett; we were simply stand- ing there; when I was initiated I was held the time under the arms by two strong fellows, and felt perfectly safe; they took me overrough places but did not stamble. THE PATAL PALL ‘Wason's testimony agreed with that of Lee. He was a more intimate friend of Loggett, and had immediate charge of him while he was blindfolded. As to the accident itself, Wason says: “I stood bim against the tree, or rather he leaned against it. He was leaning against the tree, and [ stood about # foot from him, or within reaching distance. In about three or four minutes 1 saw his body inctining to one side, as though his feet were slipping and he was’ golng to fall. He was on the righteide of the tree, or rather on the south side. I thoaght he was merely falling to the ground, not down the precipice. I moved forward to steady nim, and in so doing stepped on what I thought was a limb. I believe now it wasa root of the tree. It caused me to slip, and [ fell over the brink. In attempting to save him, I feli mysel’. I was not conscious while falling, but as s90n as E struck I tried to ery out, but couldn't. I rolled over two or three times ‘and heard two distinct thu¢s, and knew that somebody else bad fallen with me.” “OH, DON'T. All the witnesses were reticent as to the method of initiation or as to why they took Leggett to that particular spot. Farther on in Wavon’s testimony he said.“ I was blindfolded initiated; Dave assisted at three iations; aman on each side locks arms with candidate aud holds him from falling; probably thought I was strong enough Leggett, and did not put two or three more to guard bim; the ceremonies of initiating into impressive our society ate very least they were in my case; was very tired ani gaits hungry after going through, { heard 1 tt say, “Oh, don't!” or something that sounded like it; be was carried upon a gate; my object in standing him up by the tree was merely to rest him; fad no thought of the gulf at the time; we went down there to cscape observa~ tion from the road; | had been there ia simila circumstances before.” A HAZING EXPEDITION.
