Bill

District of Columbia Appropriation Passed in the House. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The house yes

terday confined itself to routine business. Most of the session was devoted to the District of Columbia appropriation bill. The regular attempt was made to have all the expenses of the district government paid by the district, but the motion made by Mr. Dearinond (Dem., Mo.) to effect this was ruled out on a point of order. The district bill carries $5,147,900 §353,422 less than the sum appropriated for the current fiscal year.

It was expected that A. J. Rosenthal, who contested Miles Crowley's seat from the Tenth Texas district, would address the house in support of his claim, but he waived the privilege accorded him, and the resolution of the committee confirming Mr. Crowley's title to his seat was adopted.

In the senate the entire day was devoted to the bond-silver bill, several senators making speeches. It was agreed that a vote should be taken on the measure before adjournment today.

PROOF OF VENEZUELA'S CLAIM.

On Old Map Found That Was Published in London in 1794. CARACAS, Venezuela, Feb. 1.—An

tonio Fernandez, president of the state of Falcon, has telegraphed that in the archives of Coro, capital of the state and the oldest capital in Venezuela, has been found a map, published in London in 1794, in which the limits of British Guiana are given about as Venezula asserts are right.'

Minister of Foreign Affairs Rojas has sent an answer to President Fernandez thanking him for the information and asking him to send all documents he might discover which could aid the work of the special commission engaged here in copying and preparing maps, etc., for the boundary commission appointed by President Cleveland.

Reports from the west say that the revolution there still continues. General Ricord, who had started for Caracas, returned, and in a fight with the rebels captured four of their leaders.

Carvajal. who was recently released from the rotunda, has been rearrested in Puerto Cabello.

MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.

The letter sent to the member of congress by Commissioner Lochren shows there were 243,851 surviving soldiers on June 30, 1895. The list of survivors at the close of the war was 1.849,249, including 117,247 classed as "deserters." Commissioner Lochren says that the mortality record of soldiers for the first 12 years after the war was very great. After that period, and until 1884, the death rate was less proportionately than among other classes of citizens. Since 1884 the mortality rate has been on the rapid increase, and is at present very great.

A service pension bill, says the commissioner, would add 358,028 names to the pension list. There are 385,028 soldiers, including those classed as deserters, now drawing pensions, and 173,003 receiving less than $12 a month. This latter class would be beneficiaries of the proposed service pension bill.

ocnViOE PENSION BILL.

It Would Enormously Increase the Government's Expenses. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—To meet the

requirements of a service pension bill, granting $12 a month to every soldier who served 90 days or more, would increase annual expenditures for pensions $76,148,960. It costs about $140 a man annually for pensions under existing laws. The estimate of a service pension was made by Commissioner Lochren in a letter sent to a member of the house. An inquiry had been addressed to the commissioner on the subject, because a dozen or more service pension b£ls have already been introduced, and iTpublicans in congress are discussing the advisability of passing such a bill. Congressman Burrill of Illinois is the author of one of the bills granting a service pension of $12 a month.

GREENFIELD INDIANA SATURDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 1 1896 ]JK I(JK TWO CENTS

£. urosDy, wnxen wa's one oi mc uiuco vessels that rescued the members of the Cuban filibustering expedition wrecked with the steamer J. W. Hawkins Monday morning off the eastern end of Long Island, has arrived at this port.

From Captain George W. Bunker of the Crosby it is learned that great difficulty was experienced in rescuing the men on account of their unfamiliarity with the sea, and to this fact was due the loss of three men whom the captain saw go down. The Crosby rescued 13 men who were in a boat, which the rescued men claimed contained from 18 to 24 persons.

Captain Bunker says: "However this may be, I saw but fbvee men drowned, but as the bo.if si„*! soon after we began the work o/ rescue, several probably went down as they were too benumbered and exhausted to make any battle for their lives."

One of those drowned is said to have had $600 in gold on his person.

VITALITY OF A CHILD.

Shot Through the Brain and Is Still Living.

THE WOUND PRONOUNCED FATAL.

Similar to the HinsTiiwr Wound Which Experts Certified Would Be Instant Death—An Important Capture—Window

Glass Works Iay Not Resume—Other Indiana State News. LEBANON, Ind.. Feb. 1.—A case that

has attracted the attention of the physicians of this city, as well as of other places, and which will be of general interest, is that of the 4-year-old cliikl of Ellis Price, who was shot by liis sister while playing with a loaded pistol. The accident occurred about six weeks ago.

The case was pronounced a fatal one by all the physicians who saw the child, and indeed there could be little hope of recovery since the ball passed entirely through the brain, entering about the middle of the frontal and passing slightly downward, making its exit at the back of the head about an inch and a half lower than the place of entrance. The surprise to all is that the child has so far recovered that he is now considered out of danger.

The case assumes especial importance from the fact that the wound is precisely the same kind of a wound received by Mrs. Hinshaw, for the killing of whom W. E. Hinshaw is now serving a sentence. The ball passed through the brain in the opposite direction in this case, but the path of the ball in the two cases, respectively, is the same. It will be remembered that expert testimony was introduced to the effect that death must result instantly from such a wound as that inflicted upon Mrs. Hinshaw.

The Price boy was partially paralyzed, the left side of the body being affected, but he is rapidly recovering the use of his limbs. When it is remembered the brain oozed from the wound, both at the front and back of the head, with the additional face that the ball was of 32 caliber, the degree of vitality shown by the child is all the more remarkable. The physicians say the case will be reported, and that it will become a leading one in medical jurisprudence.
