number of killed end wounded only amounted to 5,614 Yet on the let of July $6,000,000 appropriated for pensions to survivors, widows, minor children and dependent relatives on this 1812 roll became available. Os revolutionary pensioners, there are a few widows and minor children who linger still, but the revolutionary pension roll has very nearly ceased to ejcist. All pension lists show, in the course of fifty years, a small beginning, rapidly increasing and slowly decreasing, until within a century it is wiped oqf. If no war occurs in the next half century, the wealth of the United States, relieved of this enormous drain upon the Treasury and of payment upon a natioual debt, will be something fabulous. Who does not envy posterity? MINOR MATTERS. Ridiculous Reports Concerning the Relations of Manning nnd Cleveland. Spec! a.'/ to the Indianapolis journal. Washington, July 5. —There is an element of both Democrats and Republicans here that con tinually insists that it is not illness, but discontent and disgust, that keeps Secretary Manniue away from the Treasury Department, and that he had words some time ago with the President, which made him vow he would not act longer as Secretary of the Treasury. While such a ridiculous report is not worth mentioning in itself, your correspondent heard some observations in connection with it to-day which are worth repeating. “Secretary Manning,” said one of his intimate friends, “came about as near dying as a man well could and recover, after he fell in the department on the afternoon he was carried away. His trouble was of a very serious character, bordering. as it did on apoplexy, and 1 would not be surprised at any moment now to hear of his death. Pew men have had so much brain-work as he has had during the past six years, and I wonder that he iives." * Miscellaneous Notes. Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 5.—E. IL Stealey, of the Frankfort Crescent, is hero, looking for a federal position. He is very kindly received, haß made a good impression, and will undoubtedly succeed. It is said he will get a special agency for one of the departments. Hills were introduced in the House tp day by Mr. Holman to remove the charge of desertion against the military record of P. W. Zickenilrath, and to pension Fletcher J. Dewey. BURNED TO DEATJI. Tiro Men Lose Their Li yes by the Burning of a Chicago Lodging-House. Chicago, July T>.— Fire was discovered in the rear of the basement of the restaurant of Burck- • y & Milan, 152 and 154 feouth Clark street, by (he watchman of Kohl & Middleton’s Dime Museum, about 4 o’clock this morning, and an alarm Was immediately turned In. The fire rapidly communicated with the elevator, and by means of it spread to all floors on the building in incredibly short time. The smoke and flames rushed from the rear to the froufc and were pouring out of all windows by the time the department arrived on the ground. The second, third, fourth aud fifth floors of the building are occupied by the Benton Hotel, which was fitted up as a cheap lodging house. The upper floors were formerly used as store-rooms, and were converted into hotel apartments by frame partitions, making a veritable flre-trap, in which over thir-ty-five people were sleeping. A young man named Charles Speoh, of the “Evangeline” company rushed up the stairs and aroused as many as he could by shouting and founding on the doors. He was very coon driven out of the lfotel by the smoke and flames. His efforts were rewarded by seeing ten or fifteen people leaving the house. One mau, cut off from the stairway, forced tlje skylight and came out on the roof. Another tried the front fire-escape from the fourth floor, Imt was driven to the roof; he was slightly burned about the head. Another man escaped by the fire-escape and cume down through annther building. It was at first thought that ten or fifteen persons had been burned to death, but n subsequent search by the firemen revealed two dead bodies. They were both men of Middleton’s, who had been sleeping in their bunks. They were found on the floor in the middle of the room, on tne fifth floor, and one Was burned beyond recognition. In fighting the flames four firemen were badly hart. John T. O'Malley, of a hook-and-iadder company, was severely cut in the shoulder by plate glass. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as all fire in the rauges was out It is probably attributable to Fourih-of-July celebration. The loss to the restaurant owners is about $6,000; fully insured. The loss on the hotel and buildtog is about $10,000; partially insured. • The firemen having made a thorough search of the burnt premises, say there is no cause to fear •hat more than the two persous mentioned lost ieir lives. The two corpses lie at the morgue, sd neither has been identified. As the bodies -j very much disfigured, and the guests of the •iton House being nearly all transient, he of the two who lost their lives will 4 a difficult matter. The injured are doing well, ana will recover.

July 5.—A State conference of Massachusetts Republicans is called for Monday next to discuss the attitude which the Republican party should be asked to maintain with reference to the temperance question, and to constder the propriety of sending delegates to the national anti-saloon convention called at Chicago. The call, which is signed by a large number of tbe most prominent Republicans in the state, approves of the resolutions adopted by the New Jersey Republican conference of May 26. and the Vermont Republican convention of June 6, which call upon the Republican party to “take a positive and pronounced attitude of uncompromising hostility to the organized power of the liquor-selling interest of the country: to everywhere reject all overtures for an opeu or secret alliance with it. and to tavor and promote all practical measures for tbe restriction of the liquor traffic within the narrowest limits, and for tho enforcement of all laws for tho suppression of the saloons.” The Rowan County (Ky.i War. Louisville, July 5.—A special says: “Another bloody chapter in the Rowan county factional war was added to-day. Sheriff William Rainey, with a posse, attempted to arrest the notorious Craig Tolliver. Cook Humphreys and Howard Logan, the principals in the trouble. Tolliver submitted quietly, but Logan aud his son William and Humphreys opened fire on the sheriff’s posse, who returned the Are. Sheriff Rainey was shot through the body and mortally wounded, while his son and deputy sheriff were also slightly wounded. Logan's son was also shot, but not fatally. Information received says that Logan and Humphreys are raising a mob to continue the fight. Governor Knctt has been telegraphed to send troops to Rowan county at once, where all is fear and excitement.” Unlike other cathartics.

The round closed with a light blow by Burk on Nolan’s face. In the third round Nolan got in three blows quickly aDd pushed Burk to the ropes, where they clinched. This was fallowed by an even return of three or four blows apiece. In the fourth round Burk began savagely with a blow on Nolan’s nose. Nolan gave back a blow in Barks face, and there was another even exchange, when the round ended with a clinch. The fifth round showed Nolan to he the quicker and more powerful man. He touched Burk's nose again, and a clinch followed, with cries of “foul,’’ but a decision was not pushed. The sixth and seventh rounds showed Burk more careful, but Nolan still scored more points. Both were in earnest, trying to make a jugular impression to end the worry. Nolan managed to damage another eye for Burke, and the seventh round closed with close fighting. The crowd cheered for Nolan. The eighth round was a succession of light blows and clinches, in which Bnrke did most of the clinching. The round closed with tremendous cheering for Nolan. There was a wild rush for the cars before any public announcement of the result could be made. The referee, however, has decided in favor of Nolan.

DIED HAND IN HAND. A .Bride and Groom Run Down to Death by a Train In Georgia. Atlanta Constitution, Sunday. North bound passenger train No. 12, on the East Tennessee railroad, ran over a lady and gentleman on the Copper-mine trestle, three miles south of Dallas, yesterday morning, killing them. The lady and gentleman were ’wide and groom of twenty-four hours. The tram which did the killing left Atlanta yesterday morning at 6:18. It was a through train, and was scheduled to do some lively running Conductor Evans, one of the most careful men on the road, was in charge, and at frequent intervals gave his engineer, Mr. Bowers instruction to pull up. Three miles south of Dallas is a long trestle known as Cop-per-mine trestle. Trains going north approached this trestle on a heavy down grade and around a sharp curve, which preveuts engineers from seeing the trestle until they are almost upon it. Engineer Bowers was moving at a lively speed when he struck the top of the grade leading to the trestle. Without taking up his engine, he rolled along towards the trestle, and, like a flash, darted around the curve and upon the trestle. Just as the engine turned the curve, the fireman, who was on the watch-out, yelled: “Quick, there’s a man and woman on the trestle. ” The fireman’s cry was a startling one, and as the engineer threw his eyes to the front he saw a man and woman walking across the trestle. They were moving in the same direction as the train, and were evidently unconscious of their impending danger. They were hand in hand, and were in the middle of the track. The picture sent a chill to the engineer’s heart, and with a hand as firm as a rock he grabbed his lever. In an instant the air-brakes had been applied, and the engine was rattling forward under a reverse motion. At the same time the shrill whistle •ent forth an alarm which attracted the attention of the man just as the engine was in the act. of running him down. When the man turned his head and saw the engine it was only a few feet away Ho did not lose his presence of mind, however, and die without a struggle. He threw his left arm around the lady and made a leap towards the side of the trestle, ovidently with an intention to leap down into the gorge beiow. Bat he was too late and just as he reached the rail the pilot of the engine hit him. For an instant he and the lady seem to rest upon it, but as the engineer was beginning to hope that they would cliug to the pilot until the engine crossed the trestle they both flew high into the air and as they went up the lady left the man’s grasp. The lady, after whirling through the air a short distance, dropped back upon the track, and in another instant the heavy engine was crushing the life from her. The man was thrown much further then the womau, and landed upon the track just in front of the engine as it came to a stand-still. The instant the engine stopped the engineer sprang off and ran back to the woman. A glance only was necessary that nothing could be done for her. He then hurried to the man, whom he found living, but unable to talk. Conductor Evans, to whom the sudden halt and the danger whistles conveyed a knowledge of some trouble. hurried forward as soon as he could leave the train and reached the man abont the same time that his engineer did. The man was breathing and was barely alive, and was carefully carried into a car and made easy. The woman was lying under the engine, and the mutilated body was picked no and placed in the ear. ami then the train moved on to Dallas. At Dallas the wounded man was removed to a hotel, while the remains of the lady were placed in the depot and the coroner sent for. The dead lady and the injured man were strangers to everybody who looked at them. The man eonld not talk, and no papers were found in his clothing. In the lady’s dress pocket, however, was found a card on which was written “W. C. Horton, J. P. t No. 633 Marietta street, Atlanta, Ua.” The coroner reached the depot about 11 o’clock and organizing a jury, began to hold an inquest over the remains of the lady, hut during the progress of the inquest the man died, and the verdict was the same m both cases. The dead people were not identified during the day. notwithstanding the fact that the East Tennessee road is doing everything possible to ascertain who they are. Judge Horton says, that from the description given of the pair, he thinks they are John Coursey and his bride. On Friday a young man, who gave his name as Coursey, entered his office, at 633 Marietta. He was accompanied by a young lady of eighteen years, and. exhibiting a marriage license, asked to have the ceremony performed. The couple was decidedly a good looking one. and in a pleasant way Judgo married them. This couple tallies in every respect with the dead people at Dallas. Trie man was not badly cut np. but the woman was terribly mangled. Her head was severed entirely from her body. The bodies are still at Dallas, but will be buried today if they are not claimed.

A CATHOLIC BISHOP SUED. A Suit to Recover Money Loaned the Diocese of Pittsburg. Pittsburg SpecialSome interesting Catholic Church history is recalled by a Bnit brought today in court by J. M. Stoner, attorney for Henry Dallmnyer, executor of the estate of Thomas Donnelly, deceased, against Father Tuige in his capacity of bishop of Pittsburg and administrator of the Allegheny diocese. The proceeding is to recover $22.000 r the remainder due on a promissory note of $40,000. The money w*s originally loaned by the Rev. Father Molhnger. a wealthy Catholic priest residing on Troy Hill, Allegheny. It was advanced at various times and in various amounts during the bishopric of Father Doraenic over the Pitts burg diocese, to be used in the building of the cathedral. No security was ever given, as the relations between the Bishop and the wealthy priest were more cordial than usual among brothers in religion. Subsequently the affairs of the diocese became seriously involved. Bishop Doraenic and Vicargeneral Hickey, in the management of estate* bequeathed to the church, and trust funds ia their charge, showed carelessness, and, when BishopTuigg. of Pittsburg, who had authority over the Allegheny diocese, to which Domenia was transferred, examined the accounts, they were about SIOO,OOO short. It was not believed that Bishop Domenic and Father Hickey were morally guilty, but that they had simply kept their accounts looselv. Asa result of the investigation, Father Hickey was deposed while Bishop Doraenic went to Rome, where, ia Jnly, 1877, he resigned his place, and, according to the Catholic calendar, died at Tarragona, Spam, in the following January. . Many neople, however, believe him to he still alive." Father Hickey also went to Rome, where ho vindicated himself, and returned with the papal authority to demand of Bishop Tuigg the rieht to select the finest parish in this diocese, accompanied by the privilege of preaching in St. Paul’s Cathedral a certain number of times each year on any subject he chose. He now has charge of a church at Braddock. After the accession of Father Tuigg to the bishopric, it is said, Father Molhnger made a demand upon the diocese of Pittsburg for some security to cover his various loans to the church. Rumor has it that there was a dispute as to the validity of the Molhnger claims, and that the diocese repudiated them entirely. Subsequently the matter wa* laid before the Pope. He decided that the debt was a just one, and that the church would have to pay it. Bishop Tuigg, in accordance with hi* instructions from abroad, during May, 1878, signed a note for $40,000, payable in five annual installments, aud five other notes for the interest, which was $2,400 a year, or $12,000 in all. Several years ago Father Molhnger, being ia need of money, indorsed the notes and sold them to the late Thomas Donnelly. Since that time the sum of $22,000 has been paid on account, at various times, leaving a balauce still due of a little over $22,000 principal, and accrued interest. The suit is merely a format matter, to hasten the payment of the debt, ia order to close the accounts of the executor, to admit of a partition of the Donnelly estate. Plumbing That Is Worth While. Philadelphia News, Pullman is situated on a prairie abutting oa an estuary of Michigan called Calumet lake, and the highest point of land in the town is not more than six or eight feet above it waters. It would be very difficult to sewer the town in the ordinary way, and those who have its affair* ia charge have introduced one that is ‘the most perfect of any in America. They have for their principal engines the magnificent Corliss ones which were such features at the Centennial exposition in Fairmount Park. These furnish an abundance of wate* for flushing all the closets in town, and pump all its suliage into large subterrnnean reservoirs, where it is deodorized and converted into valuable liquid manure, which is then forced through pipes to a large farm about three mile* distant, where it is utilized and makes the ground wonderfully fertile. It does this at * profit to the company, which, in addition to the sanitary benefits it confers on the town, should make its adoption by other places a matter of prime importance. The noxious smells and mephitic vapors caused by escape of sewer gas through the drains of the appliances that modern plumbing has taught us to expect and require in our houses, are not to be found in Pullman, and though its situation is one that would seem to be especially favorable for the development of malarial and kindred troubles, it is singularly free from them, I am told. Would it not be well for those who have the charge of the sewerage system of Philadelphia to look into this of Pullman with & view te its introduction here? I think it would.
