A AI0DEIIX PAPER'S OUTFIT.

THE SENTINEL'S NEW EQUIPMENT. Description or the YTonderf nl 'rrto" Web Ferf ctins Printing Prem from the Hoe Factory The Most Marvelous luventiou of this Aze. The past week h witnessed a complete transformation of THE Sfntixel. Aside from its .hang or" form anl reduction in .sire, it appeared in an entirely new dress, with not a vestiye regaining of its old garments, and but for the tame a time-honored name there would have leeu nothing to disclose its identity. " 'Ere's y'r Daily Sentinel, on'y two cents," was the cnfamiliar try of newsboys in the streets "Wednesday morning, and the sales were remarkably large, everybody was eager to see .TlIE SENTINEL in i;s rejuvenated, modernize! ionii, and it was so perfectly made-up ami printed, and so full of the news of the day in concise and readable shape, that the paper stood the rigid inspection to which it wr.s subjected, and naught hut favorable comment was heard anywhere. New subscribers came in by the hundreds, and soon the circulation had in- . creased 4,'XjO copies without the aid of canvassers. Friends of The Sentinel in large numbers called to congratulate the management upon the marked improvement, und the remarkable success with which the transformation has been brought about, an j ether papers of the city and Mate teemed with praise oi the most notable departure of years 10 the history of Indiana jo;iruali?m. The Sentinel's Loom was on, Slid its proportions haveTcept increasing from day to day. "It's the jaier for the people." "Long live THE SENTINEL." "May it shadow never grow les." "It is a credit to the city, a credit to the state, aud a credit to the democrat!;' party." "It is a newspaper, every inch of it." The foregoing are taken at random froni the countless number of congratulatory messages that came pouring in on TlIE SENTIXEl,, and, Letter till, they were supplemented with such instructions cs "Put me down for a year's subeeription," "Ä.n 1 tiie paper to my address trom this date," mid from agent, "Increase my order Jl or '.''Hi copies." Tien came the dinner for advertising space. With the splendid assortmti.t of di-pl.-y typ shown in the first isiie, mid the universal attention which the new paper was attracting, it was to be c.vpectel that the enterprising merchant would at once recognize it as the best advertising nie!iiii,i ail Iii command.1 Yes, space w;u wanted wanted in ipiantities and at good prices wanted at once and "at the ton of the column." All could not h allowed to ' choose the location of their "ads," of course, LuMhe advertising matter was arranged with such skill as to give every patron his I'uli money's worth. The Skntinkl not only told the people that spring compciiiion had Lectin, but that both the city and The SENTINEL were prospering. Has tlie rcadr seen Thk Sf.NTINF.l's new press? 'o Well, come and foe it. Its equal is hard to find. It poses:-e! all tlic latest jr.). provements i.f the cch .-hr.tted Hoe factory, and account of its recent consirtrrtio.i has advantages over any oiher press in thi: section of the country. It is the most perfect ever Lrought to Indianapolis, and for people fond of machinery it wiii be a grander sight than r.atural gas in operation at the pr posed cyclorama. J-'or many years one ct Jloe's si. cylinder presses, built thiry ye trs ago, did laithfa service for Tun Kentitel, When it was built it was looked Uon as a svonderful triumph of mechanic il renins, ts indeed, it was, and the average visitor to Indianapolis in those days did not consider his visit complete until he had seen tli? mammoth press a gigantic construction ucupying a large amount of mum running oil" papers. Its capacity was an hour," aud people ignorant of the progress in pre.s-i taking marvelled at the operation, of the big concern up to the time (last Tuesday) that its wheels topped and the "Presto"' wcb-pei reefing machine, less than half i;s sire, but wi;h multiplied capacity and astonishing simplicity, was put into service in nn adjoining room. Tl.e cut oo the first page of TtE SUNDAY Fentixul will give the renders fair conception of the machine when idle. Hut h must be ?en when in motion to appreciate t le marvelous KccoinpIiht;icnt of tins industri' r.z?. And v.liat h tiiaehine! Surely, among all the wonden that the genius of modem man has framed ut of inanimate substance's, there is nothing that so nearly approaches to sentient being as ti perectingr punti:' press! The sewinc-ma-chine, the power loom, the tele hone, are all marvels in their way, but fl e per feet incr press surpasses them all. I: is the modem mechanical genius. I fere, in the basement of The SENTINEL nui'diiv, stands a compact, motionless, silent, ins-'-ruiabii tructure of steel and iron, occupj ir-.j h ss sj.ace than a hay press. At one end of the machine ii a great roll of white janer. weighing over pounds. A lever is railed, and presto! What a change! Life has Veen breath- d into thi wondrous thing, its hundred wheels revolve, its frame pulsates with a rythmical clatter, the great roll rapidly unwinds, the endless sheet of paper Ls conducted up, down, up again, nre rapidly than the eye can toUow it through an apparently labyrinthine maze of rollers and frames, to the ether extremity of the machine, where the eight-page j'aper, printed, cut and folded, is turned out m one continuous stream, at the rate ei eight in every second of time. 'J l;e massive strength of the locomotive and the delicate accuracy of a chronometer are combined in this marvel of mechanical ingenuity. Try to conceive of the nice ndju-tmcnt required to print ou both sides, Mit and fold a tour or ekdit-paire j-aper, all within the space of one-eisiith or a second of tiin. You can not d it! The brain becomes coitfiised. It N a.- when the finite ciind endeavors to grasp the infinitely gieai or the infinitely sinal! of cresitiori." The cajiaeity of the Hoc "l'reto" plate perfecting printing machine is Js.iHh copies an hour, more than double that of TllK SENTINEL'S oi l res. In üd.iptabiürv and range of work the "Presto-' ev!ips'--s others of its cnpacity. lliegi'Mt roll oi p;:per lor the u oi paper lor the press is as l.f' trotind as an ordinary hoehentl. but it easily bundled by tuo men with a hook and tack'". The i-llii ol" margin in ili piinct p:ie is reflated by a screw coiit rolled by a hand wlietl. The head of the paper-roll spindle is aNo equipped with a s irety brake, governed in c second by u sum;! Ieer. 'Ibis saiety brake is to le Used only in cave of cnuTa-ncy, as by means of an inj-enioiis automatic paper feed und paper brake combined the press i supplied with tipper at the exact speed and tension required. This m t fleeted by hningcn end'tsj rubber belt, the outer end of which rests upon the top o! the paper roll. The lare main lever has a quadrant and latch just like the reverse lever or a locomotive or marine engine. This starts or stoos the press by shirting the main driving belt, being assisted in stojping by a powerful friction brake which pres-c cjmii the driving pulley on the main shaft. To the leit of this star'ing lever fire the ends of the cylinder shaits. The tipper cylinder carries the stereotype pages. 'I Lrse are supplied with i j-ecial ink troni mi ink fountain nt the highest point of the left-hand end of the machine. The. ink is distributed by composition lollers. all having a moveimnt of rotation, and in addition an endwise luotKri so as to distribute the ink perfectly. The cylinders r no adjusted as to bruu the paper web up against the jnky plate cylinder, getting a full aud perfect impression, neiihert'o liht nor too heavy. The endless tb is thus printed on one sidi. It tlun passes between the second impression cylinder und the second plate cylinder. J his gives upon the other side of the web the impression ou the opposite side-. A pair of folding and cutting cylinders carries a double rt of lenives, hiih separate each fon?-page or eiiht-pire sheet, as theeji.se may be, from the moving web, while folding blades on the opjHJbite. cylinder crense the paper across the mid. die of the Pag nod thrust it between una II roll?, which give it the final fold and hurry it to the delivery.

left by the cnttlng blade, rush the papers to a collecting cylinder. Connected with the'press-rooni Is the stereotyping apparatus, which is of great interest to visitors. To those who do not know what stereotyping means it may be well to say that on the "Presto" machine the paper is not printed directly from the type, but irom plates, which are impressions of the type. This saves wear and tear of the type, as the plates have to stand all the pressure incident to being run through the press, on editions numbering thousands. The plates can bemeltel after being used and recast After the type set by the compositor has been made up in the proper forms, they are set t to the stereotyping-room on steel-topped imposing tables set upon casters. Stereotyping is done by means of the papier-maehe process the matricesor molds from which the casts are taken being made, from paper. Paper, pate and occasionally a peculiar fine powder are all the material used in malting the matrix. When the impression has been taken the matrix bear the appearance of a single sheet of thick, strong, parchment-colored pasteboard, the size of a page of TlIE SENTINEL. The matrix i put into a half-cylii'der mold, where the plate is cast, the molten metal, hot from the meltingpot, being poured into the casting-box. Alter trimming it is ready for tiie press-room. In the stereotyping room the process here described is gone through in a space of time that to the uninitiated appears incredibly short. In less than fifteen minutes from the time the forms of type are received the semi-cylindrical plates of "metal are sent to the press-room, where they are at once placed on the "Presto," and the wonderful machine shakes itself, starts up and begins to pour out The Sentinel, folded ready for the carriers or mailing, at the rate of eight a second. Besides The Sentinel's wonderful new press and its complete mechanical equipment, other notable improvements have been made. The Sentinel hes its own telegraph operator, with wires running into ihe oftice, and 2.),MJ0 words ore received nightly, giving news from every quarter of the gl 'be. Electric lights have been contracted for, and the entire SENTINEL building from the press room, in the basement, t i the composing and editorial rooms on the top floor, are to be lighted by electricity. The building is also equipped with telephones, Messenger calls, a fire gong and everything else that tends to aid a large stall" of news gatherers and editors in performing their work. Heference was made in the introduction to Ihe growth and pros) ority of Tlit: Daily Sentinel since its change of form. The SCND Y Sentinel has long enjoyed the largest circulation of all the Sunday publications 1:1 the state, and it, too, is aining new subscribers by the hundreds. For hist Sunday's paper there was such a rush of advertising "matter that late Saturday evening it became necessary to refuse "ids." To-day's SENTINEL speaks for itself anil shows that it is a most itost popular advertising medium. Tor this is.- c -;s h-reto-foie, advertising space was limited ni order to make room for the news of the day, and ii proper amount of caretully selected Sunday reauinj. Then there ts The WeeklySextinel, which roes to every postottice in Indiana, und circulates in every state and territory in the Union. The Weekly Sentinel's circulation is larger than that of any other paper published in Indiana, and equal to that oi any publication in the West. BOULANGER ELECTED.

Boulanger was chosen. He received 09,500 votes against 35,730 for M. Clcrjonnie, the opportunist candidate. The result was unexpected and has increased the uneasiness of tiie conservatives, who declare that the llouiangist movement is a public danger, and urgent m a tins are demaudedto check it. 'Ihe icna partiu insert that the result in the LWdogne proves tiat the country demands the dissolution of the. chamber of deputies and the revision of the constitution, lien, lloulauger refused to contest the scat for the department of the Poidoguc, but bis friends forwarded his candidacy.

The Frightful sight That Greeted a Young Sister nt Jenersomllle Yesterday. Louisville, April 9. George r.aurla, the thirteen-year-old son of Frank Baurla, of Jerlersonvüie, Ind., hanged himself to-day. The boy had Leen a truant from school for sometime and was known as thoroughly bad. His father this morning forced him to start to school. His sister afterward went to the eoalshed and found the door closed by a coal shovel. When she opened it she saw her brother dangling from a rafter at the end of her jumping-rope. His face, distorted by strangulation, was turned toward her, and, terribly tiightencd. sh ran to the house and told her mother. The boy was found dead, but still w arm. He had closed the door after him by tying a rope to the shovel and passing it through a knot-hole. A pile of boards atlbrded Irini i::i elevation from which to leap to bang hi nut If. The VVhLky Tool's Dirt Methods. CHICAGO, April P. J. F. Wolck, a private detective, faced forty angry nan in Shufcldt's ! distilkry to-day and narrowly escaped with his lite. Shuftldt's is the only distillery north of the Ohio not in the whisky pool. Wolck, a.? has been proven, was hired by the pool to spot consignees of hufeldt's and report to the pool, one of whose members would then oTtr to undersell Mi u fehlt. Their object was to ruin his business. This morning Wolck applied at Shufeldt's for work and was employed. He was soon caught taking names of consignees and angry workmen in a moment bad him tied up, having relieved hiui of his revolver w hich he tried to draw. Mr. Lynch, junior partner, w ith liüiculty prevented the men from hanging Wolck. At length he was released and swore before a notary public what bis object was. Then, after being told by Mr. Lynch that if caught w ithin a mile of the distillery he w ould be filled with lead, he was kicked into the street. ( on: nie rial Union With Canada. New Yoke, April 9. In an interview ErastuüWyman, while admitting that the Canadian parliament Friday morning struck reciprocity a severe blow, denied that it had voiced the sentiments of the people, as that question was not before the people, and had not been (lis cused w hen the present parliament w as elected eighteen months ago. Since -then tiie people had received newLght,and if a general election were to be held now the Canadian parliament would soon have a far dilTereut complexion. A I'ort Wayne Sinn's Valuable Coin.

Maeietta, O., April "The citizens of Marietta were awakened by the booming of cannon. A more beautiful day was never seen in the month of April, und the streets were soon thronged with a multitude anxious to participate in the ceremonies of the day. The limtr of meeting; was 9:3'J o'clock, but it was 10 o'clock before quiet had been secured in the hall t'rcni which hundreds had been turned away. K.v-President Hayes and Senator Iloar entered early, and were greeted with cheers. When Mrs. Hayes entered later there was a general ovation, which was renewed when Gov. Fo raker an Install were announced. The Hon. J. Kaudolph Tucker of Virginia, came in for a share of applause, and, indeed, the Virginians have received quite as much attention as the guests from New England, the fact being recognized that Virginia, as well as Conncticut and Massachusetts, contributed to the fouiidiugand the glory of the Northwest. The venerable Douglass Putnam called the meeting to order, and introduced Gov. Foraker as the presiding otiicer of the day. Gov.

THE SENTINEL'S HOE PERFECTING

THE GERMAN CRISIS. A Belief That It Will üeconi Acute Again Pie Comuiiit, BERLIN, AprilS). Emperor Frederick passed a good night last nighu lie arose early this morning and bade farewell to the empress previous to her departure for Posen. He dreve in the Westend at noon. Thi etsipfTOr to-day conferred decorations on Drs. Hovell and Mackenzie. The political crisis will proV nbly become a:r.te again shortly. The empress is determined to prevail, even if Bismarck hn tp re-sign. The emperor, in decorating D. Mackenzie t-winy, suid: "When you came the ti'-st time I conti id in you, as you were reeoi mended bv ui G.-nnan physicians. I have since hut oceas ou in my own exI e i-'iicc to value your capabilities. I am glad to bestow upon you this order in ihmkful ackuowledginei.t of your merits and in memory of my accessio to the throne.' The emperor thon shook hands w Lh Ir. . Mae kenrie and with lr. Hovell. Freiherr You Hogg .ibach. a national liberal, a minister ol the c rand duchy of I'aden. dined with the emperor this afternoon. Ihe fact is the subject of nineii coni iieiiL Prince Bismarck w ill go to Varsin on the 11th inst.. hich is his wife s birthday. The story to the cl'.ect that Prince Bismarck was displeased at the presence of thr- Municss at his tirt two official conferences with the emperor is declared to be untrue. Prince Bismarek luus himself related the circumstances of his iirst visit, as follows: The emperor was asleep and the empress requested him to be kind enouzh fo remain a short time with Irr. Alterahalf hour of most frieiidlv conversation the empress awoke her husband, conducted Prince Bismarck to hiui and left tnem alone together. An addrvss has been prepare ! for publication in Ixipsio, expressing the earnest wish of the people that Prince Bismarck shall not retire, and also coniidence that the emp-ror w ill lind tiieans to avoid such an irreparable loss to Germanv. The Xa'tona' Z Uung, in at. article on the crisis arising irotn the prop cd marriage of Prince .Vlexauderautl Princes.-Victoria fays: It ia certain that the chancelloi has so far overcoma all ciiilieuli ft Ls sq if rlai thai he will retire front dl-o If they recur without hla hui?v tb e to stitciount thf-ui. I P.efcrring to the intended promotion tf Prince Alexander to the rank ot general, the Xationut Stilting says: The prince was formerly a lieutenant la the Prussian army. It makes io difference I bat when prince of Hularia he was lunored with the titlj f general. The biavrry an 1 military skill whhhtho prince showed in the hervo-liulg.irlnn war do not suihi e to secure his proniotiou In Prussia from the grade of lieutrnat to that oi general. St. PETER-ni ao, April p. An inspired article In the Gij'Jitiiine says that the Ualtonlters marriage project is a lirlti-!i plot t- secure Prince Alexander iciuru to Hulgaria, t) which Kussia ought to reply in Hie mountain of Afg!ianists:i. The .Ye Freie Preßte, of Vienna, revives the report that Crown Prince William is the chief opponent of It's sister's marriage to Prince Alexander, and (hat Prince li-:marck has acted in his behalf. A GERMAN'S OPINION. lie Thinks Dismarck is Waiting to be Preni er tn William. Chicago, April '.i. Herman Taster, editor of the Illinois Staats Zeitung, expects that if Pi;tnarck resigns he will again be chancellor of the German empire wlien Crown Prince William sliall have assumed the crown. "The marriage of Victoria and Alexander is a mere pretext," lie said, in an Interview to-day. "Bismarck was sick of official life w hen he met the new emperor at Leipsic at the depot in the saloon car. The emperor' proclamation was a direct innb to Bismarck, reaJing between the lines. "Within the last four weeks scarcely a day has passed that Bismarck lias not been snubbed, politely to be sure, but snubbed nevertheless. Frederick dcelareu war on Bismarck and the rcichstag from the first, when he said there must be no more bickerings between tiiem. A week or so ago a decree was arrived at in the German cabinet to the effect that henceforth no decree should issue unless indorsed by a foil cabinet vote. Bismarck always detested being overruled by a majority, and probably that day he determined to resign. But he wanted to go out on more popular grounds. He could not openly oppose that decree any more than lie could the proclamation and the numerous other cuts given liim by the emperor. "The real cause of Bismarck's probable resignation., I believe, is not the proposed marriage. That could have been easily managed. Alexander of Battenberg could have been taken in and made a major general, and all would have boon serene. Hut Bismarck knows that Victoria is his deadly tnemy. Frederick wiil 'soon die, Willi. mi wijl ascend the throne ami UNmarck will be recalled. William and Iiis mother, the present empress, are so much nt outs that she will be virtually an exile in England from the date of his coronation. Of course it will be given out that she has gone) to Knjrland to visit her mother the queen, mid to remain for an indefinite period, but she will be none the less an exile." Pre pnr Ins for the Convention. St. Lous, Mo., April 9. Mr. W. II. Barnum, the chairman of the democratic national committee, who has been here since Sunday morning, was in conference to-day with the local committee having in charge the prelimiuary arrangements for the national convention to be held here on June 5. All matters were freely discussed, and the north rave of the Exposition building was selected na the place to hold the convention. This nave will be reconstructed and arranged ao that it w ill not only atlord ample nceoinmoclatiotis for the convention but wid sent un immense audience besides. Arrangement for the press, the issuance of tickets, und all other matters pertaining to the convention, were left in the hands of the local committee and will receive prompt attention. A notice will be sent out to the press in a day or two, ami every provision wiil ba made to accommodate the great crowd that is expected U be here. fcul'tvun Issues n Challenge.

LXTO TIIE SWOLLEN CREEK. A TRAIN WRECKED DY A WASH-OUT. Seeral Cars Sohiiiersetl In the Swollen Torrent List of Ihe lend nud Wounded Taken Out Others Believed to he l'r. de 11; eat li. New Hamptov, Ta., April .". A terri'de railroad accident occurred about four miles west of this town on t lie Milwaukee fc .Sc. Paul road by which at lea t a d..:en persons lost their lives and from fifteen fo twenty were injured. The train which left Chicago at 11 :'V yesterday morning and was due here at 12:13 this mm-iiing, passed here nearly ou time, and whenabo.it four miles west plunged into a creek, the bridge of which wns washed out. The creek was swollen by the immense ;Miio:irt of water which luus been running oil' for the ptst few days, and in addition a gorge of ice was formed, which, previous to the arrival of tiie train, carried away a portion of the bridge. There was nothing to show that there wn3 danger ahead, and llie train plunged into the swtdlen stream while; runningat full speed. The engine and three coaches went into the creek and were immediately siibuierg d in thi? torrent of water which oversowed the banks. A scene of the wildest confiu-ion ensued, aud those of I lie trail crew and passengers who csenjpcd death or injur)- were immediately called into service to relieve the drowning or piniond passengers. U was with great difficulty that the passengers could bo readied, owing to the rushing of the waters throug!i the? car windows. Tuosg who were rescued from the smoking-car, which was aii. lost entirely submerged, were taken from the w indows, some maimed to such an extent that they were poweiles to beip themselves, w bile oihers were nearly drowned before aid could reach litem. .At II a-m. six dead bodies had been taken out from the wreck and three more are known to be underneath the debris, through which the water is madly pouring, ami it is di.li vilt to rca.'h then. It is iilso stated that the engineer and Ii reman were instantly killed, or wcie caught in the cab and drow ned before aid could reach them, but ihe confusion and excitement is so gtcat lhat it is dlhicult to secure reliable information. In addition fo llie passengers known to be killed, from fifteen to iwciity have been rescued iliat are more or less seriously injured. A number sire so dangerously hurt that it is feared they cannot possibly recover. As soon us a train num could be spared he was dispatched fo this station, and a relief train wns ulcgrnphed lor from Mason Ci y. Telegrams lor relief were sdso sent fo Charles City and oiher near-by places, but it was not until several hours alter the accident that a train arrived w ith physicians fo care for ihe injured, and additional helping bauds to aid in rescuing those still cioitim d in ihe wreck. The wreck, sme claim, wrs caused by ice on the track, while others claim that it was caused by the spreading of the rails. The mgiiic jumped Ihe track" lirst and the baggage cur n::tl tend, r plunged over the engine into the water. The sinok r struck n top of the engine and w;is badly sn.iishcd. The engine is entirely umbr water and the baggage.' ear is alums covered by water. There were about thirty people in the smoker nt the time, found' whom were killed, so far as known, beside the engineer crushed between the c..h and smoker. The fireman escaped unhurt. There were about iwenty-tive wounded, though none fatally. The baggageman end route agent were well wet, but esapc-d ; '-.rough the window without injury. The nanu if ihe dead that have been learned are ds follows: W 1 LLI AM A N DE1U50N. C. SAV ENSEN. J. D EN LESS. JAMES SCAG EL, engineer, of Mitchell, Dak. Dolt A HEIDlXKLli.

THE BURLINGTON STRIKE.

A Six Week' Fight at a Cost of Million A Shooting Scrape. Chicago, April. P. Six weeks ago to-day the great Burlington strike began, and, at a cost of fully j,Uui,X!0 to loth sides, to say nothing of the cost to tiie public, has been unceasingly carried on. Both sides expressed themselves confidently to-day. It was stated at the engineers' headquarters that seventy-live employes at the general olMcc oftl;e company had been discharged, as had also ') iht cent, of the operatives in the Keokuk shops. Speaking for tiie company, Paul Morton said, regarding the discharges: "It is true that v, e are curtailing expenses, wherever we see an opportun ty to do so, but there has been no such w hoh siilc slaughter as you sjenk of. An r.ttiinpt was made to secure a Conference with the brother loot! leaders to-day, which was unsuccessful. It has been largtly due 10 the mediatory cilices of (Jen. Manager J cilery o! the Illinois Central railroad that" the pre vious conferences have been brought about. He is recognized and regarded as a mend by both sides, and both sides place great coniidence in hiiu. This atieriioon ahont Ö o'clock he called upon Chairman liege for the purpose of bringing about, if possible, a further Conference between tiie leaders of the strike and the oi'iicials of the road. I bis Mr. Höge declined unless for.ie t'c!i!:ite process was arranged. He took the position that to go into a conference wi:h no proposition to work upon would be simply o go fruitlessly overground that has been gou over several ti:ii s without result. At 7 o'c lock to-iii;i!it a "Q" engine, manned by "scabs," was approaching the city over the Western Indiana tracks from the southwe;. At Fürt, seven th-st. a crowd threw stores through euch window when Charles Soni'iurs, one of the crew, drew a revolver and tiring it into the crowd, struck James Boyhin, a toutidryman, in the knee. At Forsicth-st. the engine met the' same reception from another crowd, aud Sommers ngain brought Ids pistol into use. lie fired, the' bullet striking 'Mike Welch, a Wabash e ngineer, in the groin, wounding hiui fatally. An alarm having been 'iven to tlit police, tiie engine was intcrcepicd at Tliiriy-hiil st. and liowiuei was placed under n nest. DEPENDENT FENSION DILL. The Senate Measure Amended by the floutc Committee Tho Charge. Washington, April 0. The house committee on invalid pensions this morning took filial action upon the senate bill known as the dependent pciisio:i bill. Some verbal amendments were made to the first section relating to the claims of dependent parents, but none of them materially dunked the ell'cct of the section. A substitute was adopted for the second section which is (ire principal section of the bill. The substitute provides a pension for all p-r-sons w ho have served in the military or navel service of the Failed Stales for any period, and who have been honorably discharged, and who are now or w ho may hereafter i e sufferers from ' cntal or physical disability, not the result ot' locirov.n vicious habits, which Jotailv disibies them from tlu pcriorniunco of manual labor, at the rate per month of I cent for every day's war service. It fit rthcr provides the same pension for ail persons who are sixty-two years of age, or who may hereafter become six t -two years of age for end during their nn:uml lites. Section three was amended so as to provide that, when the v idow ofpny pmonwlio had served in the war and been honorably di charged, is in a conditio: of dependence or is siic'crii;,' from fiiy i'saiiiüiy recognized by the general pension laws, or is sixty-two years of age, slii shall be phi. red upon the pension roll at i lie rate per month ol one cent for every day's war service of her husband. 'i'be fourth section was amended so as to r.iakc the attorney's fees for claims filed under tin bill S" instead of d'. The element of dependency placed in the grand army bid by the senate w as eliminated so that all rol 'iers are tobe pensioned for their services equally w ithout regard to their financial condition and according tc the per diem ida. The a.nciitiiucnts weic adopted by a strict party vote, the republicans favoring the provisions of ihe senate bill; so that the i ntended bill may be regarded as embodying the democratic policy in the matter of pension legislation. BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER. The Ienth in Philadelphia Vesfcrday of President Arthur's Attorney Geuer.iS. PlllLADLLMMA, April 4. Benjamin Harris Brewster, attorney-ge neral of the I'nited States during President Arthur's administration, and during w hose term of office the famous star route cases were pushed to a conclusion, died caily this n:inii;g at his home in this city, aged st venty-ouc years, lie had been sufTei ing during ihe entiie w inter with disease of the kidneys, but Lis condition did not become serious until about a month ago, since which time he has been confined to the house. About a week ago it was dicovered by bis physicians that paralysis of the bladder had set in, and his failure skiee that time has been marked. Early this morning he s ink into a heavy slumber and passed quietly away. lSciijüiuia Harris Hrewster was bom Oct. IS, 1SK5, ia ialeni country New- Jersey.

He was originally a democrat tu Hj!itie.s, Ittit at the close of the mar he became a republican. His connection as h-utiib rounsil in the star mute prosecution pivc him national prominence.

A near relative of Mr. Blaine, residing in this ci;y, says the reports about the Maine statesman's iil-heallh are false. Mr. Blaine, he say, is as well us he has been at any time in five years. The gentleman who gave this information thought that Mr. Bljine was still in the presidential race, and would certainly accept the nomination, especially if il came spontaneously. A lady residing at the south end, who is a relative of the Blaine family, said: "I am in constant communication with the Blaiues and if Mr. Blaine had been seriously ill, 1 must have heard of it. The Blaiues are now at Naples ami ate planning to come home early in June. Mr. Biaiije did not. go abroad on account of his heal'h, but simply fer amusement and recrea.ion. He ha? done no literary w ork since he lias been in l.urope. Iu the last letter received from the Blaiues no allusion was made to Mr. Blaine's hcallh other than the casual remark lh.it he did not sceui paile well on the day of writing. He made no complaints of feeling badly, however. I must say that when Mr. Blaine went away he did not look like a healthy man. His face had a livid and weary expression but this might be dae to the ljbors he had gone through. "Mr. Blaine is a very nervous man and is pt to worry over his hcallh, especially if some public man of about his own age has passed away. He was much distre.-sed over the loss of several of his oh! political associates during the iist venr. His first question w henever 1 meet .im is 'Well, how do I look?' or 'io I look illi" My first thou Jit on reading of the death of Chief Justice Waitc was that Mr. Blaine would begin to worry about bis ow n health. He actually seems to have a touch of tmperstiiion on the subject and to take the death of any prominent men us a prcuiorJuoi. of evil or a bud omen tor himself." An Awful Threat. Ti iai rS.fMiR.!

At the time of his leaving the patient seemed to be not much worse , though hi temperature had risen perceptibly. lr.
