The House committee on military affairs some time ago submitted a favorable report upon the bill to close the accounts of Col.Daniel McClure, assistant paymaster general of the army, which were siiort to the extent of over $33,000, stating that there is nothing to show that Col. MeClu ved any of the mi ing inoney or was benefitted by it. They, how: ever, intimated that a clerk of Col. MeClure might have known something or where the missing money went. The clerk referred to, who is in Washington,stated toa STaR reporter that he hud made application for a hearing be- fore the committee, but it was not granted. He stated that while Col. MeCiure had not failed to take credit tor au error in his account due to Short addition, where an error occurred due to over addition, involving the same amount, the clerk is accused by intimation of having ‘pur loined the amount." “Should Congress see fit to present Col. McClure with $32,006,” he said, “I have no objection, but when they propose pass- ing a bill tor the relief of Col. McClure ior moueys said to have been purloiued by me, I do mosi seriously object.” — ee. Society. Miss Lida Miller, the daughter of Justice Miller, was married to Mr. A. E.
