A DISHONEST PENSIONER.

Draft K&ImhI from 918 to SI ,200, and the Money Paid A Complicated Suit Result. Washington, Oct 21. An interesting case was before the Treasury Department Saturday. - It related to a draft recently submitted as a voucher for its payment. Several months ago the pension agent at San Francisco issued a check in favor of a pensioner, but neclected to till in the m w u amount. The not overscrupulous recipient did it for him, but instead of putting in the proper amount (about 18) tilled it out for something over $1,200, He presented it at a bank in Nevada, properly indorsed, and as there -was apparently nothing -wrong about it, received payment at its face value. In the regular course of business the bank transmitted the check to Wells, Farco & Co., at San Francisco, its correspondents, for collection. It was then presented to the Assistant Treasurer, and that official paid it on the strength of the indorsement of Wells. Fargo & Co. The fraudulent character of tne check was discovered soon after, and the Assistant Treasurer made demand upon Wells, Fargo & Co. for repayment of the money m excess of the real value of the check. They denied all responsibility in that transaction, and refused to comply with tho demand. Subsequently a Treasury draft in favor of Wells, Fargo fc Co. for an amount much greater than was involved in the other transaction came into the Assistant Treasurer's possession, and in making payment upon it ho deducted the amount of overpayment on tho pensiou check. WHls Fargo & Co. naturally objected to this, and having: unsuccessfully tried all other. means of compelling tho Assistant Treasurer to deliver to them the full amount of the draft, at last instituted suit for its recovery . This suit is now pending, and application was made to .the Treasury Department for the original draft lor use as evidence on tho trial. After sohio deliberation the department concluded to grant the application, and yesterday the draft Tvas mailed to tho Assistant Treasurer with instructions to insure its safe return to the department upon the conclusion of the trial. Nothing "is known as to tho whereabouts of the dishonest pensioner. IVItEKE i :kls a he a pest. Water Malm, Locks and .Mill Wheels in tho District of Columbia Clogged with Them. Special to tlio InlianaioIl Journal. Washington, Oct 21. Western sportsmen who delight to handle the rod and reel and search for the finny tribe should come tp Washington.

Politically the Mormons seem to have adopted the plan of sending colonies of "stakes" to the surrouuding Territories in sufficient numbers to form a balance of power between the two political parties. They are willing to trade with either, but remain true onlv so long as the interests of the church are nest served. The church is their law, and all other law is subservient to the orders of the church. The Mormons in this Territory numbor about 8,000."

In almost every great disaster among the steamboats of the 31issiHsippi river, some ideal Dludsoo or realistic Given has an. pea red to leave the impress of his heroism and self-sacriiice upon the terrible event. . Charity Lambert, the simple black negrestt whoso bravery 6aved bo many lives in the recent explosion of the Corona, is one of these heroic souls. Chanty was born in -Maryland when she does not know. Mrs. Captain Blanks. with whom she has served for many years, ' thinks she must be on the shady side of half a century, though her face is deceiv ing. When only five years of age she was sent South, and the changes of time made her a resident of Arkausas, where she spent a imndlv nortion of her earlv life. Here she lived during the years of the war of the rebellion, and she. served faithfully as a domestic, finding her way finally into the Blanks family. Nearly twenty years ago she came to 2ew Orleans, and for eighteen consecutive years sue nas ueen in tne em ploy of CSpt. J. W. Blanks, alwa3's steadfast, always dutiful. Fourteen years ago Captain Blanks of fered her a berth on the river, and up to the time of. the explosion of the Corona she has been steadily running on the Missis sippi and its various tributaries in which Captain Blanks's boats have plied. tSho has been in several previous accidents, but has always been fortunate, and has always shown most remarkable preseuco of mind in times of danger. Many years ago she was on the Lottie Warner, which struck a snag aud sprang a serious leak. Tho boat did not go down, but there was much alarm aboard, aud Mammy showed the stuff of which she was made later on. She was a passenger on the Kapides, on which an ex nlosiou of the boilers was narrowly avoid. ed. The Hues had become red-hot at night rthrouch some fault of the employes of the boat, and the passengers were awakened bv stilling steam in tho cabins. Thero was the trreatest consternation while the boilers were being cooled down, aud, in momentary fear of an explosion, the passeuirers were in the deepest distress. Here azain Charitv stood true to her name and used all her exertions in calming the distressed. In later years she was on the John Wilson when that boat was snagged on Black river, and repeated her previous performances when the danger was worst. Th same was true of her when the Wilson took fire, and here again she showed tho same admirable disregard for self and brought her coolness to bear lu pacifying the nanic-stncken passengers. Bnt the crowning glory of her life was her heroism in this last disaster, in which forty souls were hnrled into eternity without wammg. unaruy was taxen aooara the boat bv Captain Blauks as chamber maid. Tift ill-fated boal was ascending the river at tho usual rate of speed, apd. Charitv was toward tne rear ox tne boat ironine when she heard the whistle blort The familiar tooting of the Corona bad scarcelv died away when tho most territic explosion that ever shocked Jier ears took place, and the gallant craft shivered, and Ahook. and seemed to be parting in two. Mammy had scarcely time to look around when tho door burst open and tbe ladies ran in imploring her assist ance. Her quick intuition cauio to her aid. and she saw that something must be dnnn. and done ouickly. to save the nasnenirers. Hurriedly, bnt calmly, she went to the place where the life-preserver wee kept and parceled tnem oui to tne terrorstricken ladies nntil all were supplied but hersflf.iand, heedless of her own aafety. she led the way to tne roor. All who had been provided with life-pre servers by the noble, self-sacrificing old negress lioated on mo surtaco and were saved, except Mrs. Hough, who was strnck by a door and drowned beneath the wc!t?Ut above her head, uia Mammy, after strug gling in the water for several minutes, was iinallv rescued bv a roustabout. Iwcr un selfish she begged her rescuer to save the white ladies tiist and leave her to take care of heraell.

What perhaps has ceased to be interesting in Washington has become novel in New Jersey, inhere two pretty girls, vet in tneir teens, are engaged in tlio unique vocation of vote-winning. Miss Mamie Abbett has, perhaps, heard more about Jersey politics than any other young lady in Governor Green's bailiwick. tone nas sat tnrongnmany discussions bearing on tho political chances of tho little State of Jersey. . The brilliant record made by her father has stimulated an interest in political matters, and she reads double-leaded editorials and pungent paragraphs with as much relish as any of the 'ouly LeonidasV best friends. She has familiarized herself with the details of a State canvass, and when her centleinen admirers venture into a po litical discussion Bhe has her batteries well charged. She is popular in New York. Jersey City and Newark society. She never lets an opportunuy eiip to maxe a vote ior uer cnivairous "pa." There are several young men who propose to do homage to her talents and brilliant ability by casting their lirst vote for Leon Abbett. the so-called mag netic man of New Jersey. Miss Line lurnob nas almost a national acquaintance. She "canio out" only last winter, yet she has become a favorite. Her "coming-out" ball brought together society people from all parts of the United States. Miss Grubb is tall and well-proportioned. She has a finely-shaped head, and cheeks tli at are red as a c nerry Politics is a brand new experience to her. It is so full of interest that she urges her father to make her bis companion in the tour of the State. She was at the convention in which he was nominated. She sat through all the stirring but amiable content of the three struggling delegations. She waved her handkerchief when her father was triumphantly ushered in on the platform. When the Republican reception was given in Camden last week, which was largely attended by ladies, she stood at her father's side. She had a smile and a pleasant greet ing for every one. When the ordeal was tinished. she dev. erly remarked to ouo of her lady friends that "I think I have influenced at least a dozen votes for father to-night." ' At the Mount Holly fair the other day, which 'she attended with Kcveral friends, she was much admired. Every neck in the fjrand-ataud wus craned to see the young ady who has so ably championed her father's cause. Thero are etill several big receptions in store for the General in the State which Miss Grubb will attend, and at wliich (.ho will continue her campaigning. Since the General has received tho nomination 6he has canceled all her social engagements, and rarely drives out. The burden of an important campaign rests on her frail shoulders. Earthquake Babies. Charleston (8. C.) News. Very nearly everybody in Charleston who has an internst in the city' welfare ban something to 6iiggest in the way of increasing the attractions. The latest, and. pernaps, most novel suggestion, comes irom a citizen, and takes this form: "Let the ex ecutive committee," he said, "ask the par ents of all tho children who wero born hero during the earthquake to bring up their earthquake babies to a hall on a given date, and hold a reception. It might be uh. well, peruaps. to oiler a prize for tbe biggest, the healthiest, or the prettiest earthquake baby, although I'm sure the pareuts would gladly come into the arrangement without any oiler of prizes or remuneration. It would be a most interesting and attractive feature of the festival. 15y tho way" he continued, "if the executive committee haven't time to attend to it, what's the matter with tbe Chrysanthemum-show people incorporating that featnro in their exhibition! The earthquake babies among the chrysanthemums and opoponax would draw hundreds of visitors." An Indlanapolla Man' JUg Idea. Chicago News. t Mr. W. G. Staples, of Indianapolis, has a scheme for a novelty in connection with the fair in Chicago which will eclipse the Eiffel tower in Paris. He proposes to hav constructed an immense st' el arch connect ingtbe north aud south divisions of tho city, the length of the span to bo determined by engineer, but to beO.OOOfeet high. It is intended to carry a line of eloctrio cars, and to be of such width ns to make it also a highway for vehicles and pedestrians. From it a magniiiceut view of the whole city could be obtained and vessels near the eastern shore of Lake Michigan would bo visible. Mr. Staples believes the project entirely feasible and within the range of American engineering skiiL . m Time to Close the Gates. Minneapolis Tribune.
