PENSION BUREAU'S WORK.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER TANNER. Dorlas tho Past Year 37,168 Names Have Boon Added to the Boll And the Amount Paid For Pensions Was 888,275,113.23 Recommendations. Washington, Oct. 18. Th annual report for the fiscal year 18S8-9 of the commissioner of pensions has been submitted to the secretary of the interior and is now in the hands of the public printer. The following summary of the report will show the more important details of the work of the bureau of pensions during the said fiscal year : There were at the close of the year 489,729 pensioners. There were added to the rolls during the year the names of 51,921 new pensioners, and the names of 1,754 whose pensions have been previously dropped, were restored to the rolls, making an aggregate of 53,675 pensioners added during the year. Sixteen thousand five hundred and seven pensioners were dropped from the rolls for various causes, leaving a net increase to the rolls of 37,168 names. The average annual value of each pension at the close of the year is shown to have been $131.18. The agegate annual value of pensions is 64,24tt,552.o6. The amount paid for pensions during the year was $88,275,113.23. The total amount disbursed by the agents for all purposes Mas $89,131,968.44. Amountpaid as fees to attorneys, ?1,363,5S3.47. There was a disbursment of $14,515.72 for the payment of arrears of pensions in caes where the original pension was granted prior to Jan. 25, 1S79, and the date of commencement of pension was subsequent to discharge or death, in tne aggregate, 1,243,146 pension claims have been filed nee 1S61, and in tlio same period 789,121 have been allowed. The amount disbursed on account of pensions since 1881 has been $1,052,218,413.17. The issue of certificates during the year show3 a grand total of 145,293. Of this number 51.921 were original certificates. The report ehows that at the close of the year there were pending and unallowed 479,000 claims of all classes. Commissioner Tanner recommends the establishment of two additional pension agencies, to relieve the overworked officers at Columbus, O. ; Chicago, III. ; Indianapolis, and Topeka, Kan. He recommends that coneress be asked to amend the act of June 6, 1S74, bo as to extend the beneit of all pension laws, as to rates, to all pensioners whose pensions have been granted by special acts subsequent to said date, and that the benefit of pension be granted to the widows of soldiers who died from causes originating in the service prior to March 4,1 S61, during the time of peace. He further recommends, as did his predecessor, that the act of March 3, 1887, be amended so as to grant pensions to those who. having participated in the rebellion against the United States, subsequently enlisted in the navy and were disabled therein. The act referred to confines its operations to those only who, under the same conditions, enlisted in the army of the United states. The commissioner calls attention to many irregularities in the rates of pensions; $18 per month, it appears, is the highest rate of pension, which may be proportionately divided for different degrees of disability if such disability or disabilities are not equivalent to the loss of a hand or a foot. If, however, a pensioner has lost a hand, for which existing law now provides the rate of 50 per month, and has also received in the service and line of duty an injury of the back, for example, which would alone entitle him to a pension of $24 per month, he can receive no rate in excess of $30 a month for the combined disability resulting from the loss of his hand and his said injury, unless by reason of them, he is totally helpless or so nearly so as to require the constant aid and attendance of another person, for which degree of disability the rate of $50 per month can now be granted. It will be seen, lie Bays, that the pensioner in euch case actually receives nothing for his said injury, as the loss of his hand alone entitled him to the rate ($30) which is the highest allowable rate under the law for both disabilities. Numerous other instances, he says, could be cited to show the unfairness in rates now provided by law, and he thinks this statute should be amended so as to permit the rate of $72 per month to be proportionately divided for all disabilities which are shown to have been incident to the service and line of duty. The injustice and unfairness caused by the act of congress approved June 1H, 18S0, the report Bays should be corrected. This act "limits the right of pensioners to receive $72 per month to those who "were receiving $50 per month at the date of said act. No provision is made therein for granting said rate to those who were totally helpless on said date, but were not receiving $50 at said time, and none for those who have become totally helpless since that date. The commissioner asks attention to the fact that the act of Aug. 7, 1882, which terminates the pension of a widow on account of her immorality, makes no provision for continuing the pension to the minor children of the soldier when the widow's pension is terminated. He asks that congress be requested to correct this palpable injustice. He further recommends that the act of Aug. 4, 1880, so far as it provides the rate of $30 for the loss of hand or foot, and for total disability of either, be amended so as to include the cases of those who are pensioned, not for disabilities to the extremeties but for diseases in other parts ol tne body, and lor causes which this bureau has already conceived to be equal to the loss of a hand or a foot for purposes of manual labor. The commissioner is also of the opinion that the act of congress, approved Feb. 12, 189, providing a rate of $100 for the loss of both hands, unjustly discriminates against those pensioners who have lost both feet or the sight of both eyes. The commissioner further recommends that the pension due to a dependent father should be made to commence from the date of the soldier's death, either if the mother survive the soldier but died with out receiving pension, in the same manner as the Jaw now provides that minor children shall be pensioned from the date of the soldier's death, provided the widow dies without receiving pension, and even though she had made an appli cation in her life time. The commissioner earnestly recommends that whenever an iovalid pensioner dies, the usual pension be granted to his widow, or, if he leaves no widow. then to his minor children, without regard to whether or not his death was due to any cause incident to the service and line of dutv. He asks attention also to what he believes to be a manifestly insuf ficient sura (2 ner month) granted by the act of July 25, l&iO, to widows for the care and support of such of the minor children of their deceased husband as are under sixteen years of age. The commirsioner favors granting pen eions to all soldiers who arr disabled. The commissioner alro favorr, a pension for army nurses, and mkes na earnest appeal

in their behalt.

THE ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY

Of the Catholic iitj To Be Held at Baltimore Next Month. On the 11th and 12th of November next is to be celebrated the centennial anniversary of the establishment of the catholic hierarchy of the United States. The celebration is to be at Baltimore, and it is naturally expected to bring together an imposing assemblage of the hierarchy and clergy, as well as a large concourse of the catholic laity. A call for the meeting has been issued by William J. Onahan, Chicago, chairman ; Henry J. Spaunhorst, St. Louis ; Daniel A. Itudd, Cincinnati, as a committee on organization of the congress. The project has the approval of his eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, and of other archbishops and bishops. The meeting will be called to order at 10 a. m. on Monday, Nov. 11, and continue for two days. Capable gentlemen have been .invited to read papers on topics of interest, and eeneral discussion of the same will bo invited. Coincident with the celebration will occur the formal opening of the catholic university of America at Washington. For catholics, the sole condition of admission to the congress is that of a card of introduction from the bishop or administrator of the diocese. This method has been adopted with the concurrence oi several of the archbishops and bishops, who were consulted on the subject. The design was, and is, that the congress should be free and open to all catholics; at the same time some necessary restrictions and limitations were obviously required to guard against the intrusion of persons who might claim to be catholics and yet be possessed by a disloyal spirit, and under the influence of false or pernicious principles. Hence the necessity and prudence of adopting the "card ' plan. At a meetinsr in Detroit of the commit tees charged with the duty of arranging the program and preliminaries for the congress, it was agreed that the list of vice presidents of the consress should include at lcat one catholic layman from each diocese. The committee on organization moreOver was instructed to communicate with the most reverend archbishops and the ritfht reverend bishops, respectively, and request each prelate to nominate at least one catholic lavman from the diocese for the position indicated. lhe Kight Kev. 15ihop Lhatard has invited the following representative lay men of the diocese of incennes to at tend the anniversary: Hon. John McDonogh, tvansville; Hon. John Keitz, Kvansville; Hon. Henry S. Cauthorne, incennes; Mr. John Breen, Loogootee; Hon. Frank Burke, Jeffersonville; Messrs. A. S. Chapman and C. A. Korblv, Madi son ; M. O'Connor and Peter Gramling, Indianapolis. THE CAR JUMPED THE TRACK. A Disastrous Railroad Wreck Near Con fluence, Pa. Two Men Killed. Conn ells vi lle, Fa.. Oct. 19. A most disastrous wreck in which two men were killed and a large number injured, three nuite scriouslv. occurred tOKlav near Conlluence, Fa., on the Confluence & Oakland railroad, a new line to connect with the Baltimore & Ohio road at that place. This morning a construction train started out with 200 laborers, who were to work at a point not far from Confluence. Engineer William Thornley was pushing his train at a slow rate of speed when a car in the front jumped the track. The second car contained two men. the foreman and a negro laborer. In the next car were about one hundred men and the third car was loaded with r.iils. When the first rar jumped the track the third car crashed into the two front onos and the others piled on top of them. The two men in the second car. Foreman James Fitzpatrick, of Wilmington, Del., and James Williams, colored, of Snakesville, Fa., were crushed to death and horribly mangled. Most of the laborers in the second car miraculously escaped, only three being injured seriously, although a large number sustained slight cuts and bruises. Oi the seriously injured Geonre llindbaugh will die. He is hurt internally and one leg is broken in three places, J. W. Tierney and Brakeman Ira Stearn had their legs broken and were otherwise injured but will recover. The cause of the accident is not yet known. HE NEVER MOVED A MUSCLE. John Harrett Sentenced To Twenty-Fire Years' Imprisonment For Wife Murder. Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 19. Special. The case of the state against murderer John Barrett, after a two weeks' trial, was submitted to the jury in the Allen circuit court at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Before the jury retired, old Barrett, in speaking of the case, declared that the attempt to establish proof of his insanity was due to the dissatisfaction of the heirs over the manner of his making his will. As for himself, he thought that when he attacked his wife he was insane, but that he was neither insane before nor since the commission of the terrible crime. He was willing to hang or end his days in prison, if the court so determined. He is sev-entv-four vears of acre, and cannot exnert to live much longer. The expert testi mony as to his mental condition preponderated in favor of his sanity. He sat the long trial through without manifesting the slightest interest in his surroundings, and if he realized his condition and prospects he certainly was without anxiety as to what the end might be. Barrett attacked his wife April 13 with such violence that she died five weeks afterward. He made no effort to conceal his crime and the facts in the case have never been disputed. The jury agreed at 9:45 this eveningf finding Barrett guiltv of voluntary manslaughter and sentencing himtotwentv-nve years in the state prison. When the verdict was read the prisoner never moved a muscle. DEATH OF A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE. Mr. John Creerar of the Railroad Firm nf Creerar, Adams St Co. CniCAGO, Oct. 19.

THE TOURISTS IN INDIANA.

FIRST GLIMPSE OF H00SIERD0M. All.Amerleane Visit South Mend and Its Mammoth Manufacturing Establishments Luncheon Within the Rains of the Studebaker Mansion. South Bend, Oct. 19. The fifteenth day of the International American excursion saw the tourists at South Bend, and they were told that in a little over a fortnight they had seen something of the people and industries of eleven states of this Union. The weather was delightful, as in tact it has Deen almost with out exception since the tram left Washington. Early rising was again the order of the day. But this was more easily accomplished than usual, as last night had passed without a ban quet, and the weary delegates had been enabled to retire early to their comfortable berths in the special train. The breakfast was eaten in the dining-car, while the reception committee waited patiently at the station. Soon after 8 o'clock, however, the entire party was placed in carriages, and headed by a tally-ho coach, bearing some of the more adventurous young attaches, and to the tooting of a trumpet and the blasts of many steam whistles, the line of carriages was driven to the Messrs. Studebakers' carriage repository, where samples of the products had been tastefully arranged. Here urbane showmen told the party just what the various exhibits were and sup plied them copiously with price-lists, catalogues and business cards. A visit was paid to a large establishment where clover hullers were being turned out in great numbers. The party was then escorted to Delegate Ptudebaker's wagon works, where the delegates saw the proc ess of manufacturing the vehicles which bear his name. After "doing" the industries of the town, the party was driven to Mr. Studebaker's home. It was acuriouslv pathetic sight to witness the stars and stripes and flags of every description flaunting gai'v in the sunlight against a background of lire-scarred walls and blackened chimneys, and as the party entered the house and saw the terrible havoc wrought by fire in the once sumptuously furnished home, thev freelv expressed to their host their profound sympathy. In the wreck of what had once been a stately reception room Mr. Studebaker s daught ers and his son's wife welcomed the visitors. Here were also a large committer1 of Chicagoans, headed by MavorCregier, who had come down to escort the distinguished party to Chicago. Alter greetings had been exchanged, the guests were shown into the dining room, which, although within the ruins, was ttill in a fair state ?f preservation. When an elegant luncneon had been served Mr. Studebaker made a short speech, saying thnt he welcomed sincerely the delegates and visitors to what remained of his once beautiful home. If thev ever came again to South Bend thev would alwavs find the latch-string out. Senator Davis had told them that he hoped to see a line of railroad constructed to connect the two continents. He (Studebaker) would like to see a wagon road filled with long linos of wagons; then the railroad would follow in due tim?. Mayor Longley of South Bend was next introduced, and, after reiterating Mr. Studebaker's welcome, proceeded to speak ot the industries of South Bend and ex press the hope that closer relations would be established between the people of North and South America. Delegate Trescott proposed a toast to Mr. Studebaker, who tvpified the Ameri can idea of a man who could not onlv bear misfortunes, but overcome them, and the toast was drunk in cold water, to show, as Mr. Trescott said, the sympathy of the visitors with that element as opposed to fire. In the afternoon fhe party was again placed in carriages and driven to Notre Dame university, where thev were welcomed bv the Ilev. Father Walsh, listened to a greeting in Spanish, delivered by one of the students, and shown over the university and St. Mary's female school, after which they returned to their sjiecial train. Senator Farwell spent much of the time of the trip from South Bend to Chicago in talk with delegates frm the South as to the needs of ship facilities for transportation. Subsidies were -warmly discussed in a tenor favorable to such. A railroad from North to South America was also favorably discussed. A BIG BOILER LETS GO. Probable Death of Two Men and Several Others Injured. Anderson, Oct 19. Special. One of the most distressing affairs that ever occurred in this county happened here today. The boiler in Walton's big saw mill exploded this morning about 10 o'clock, scattering devastation, death, injuries of various kind, and causing much sorrow in its pathway. It was a fifty-horse power boiler, and pieces of it were scattered all over the city, while the building was torn into splinters. There were eight men in and around the mill at the time, and how they escaped without instant death is remarkable. The building and mill are totally wrecked. Pieces of the boiler were thrown a hundred and fifty feet away to the south of the mill. The follow ing is the list of the men who were more or less hurt by the explosion: Walter Mingle badly hurt, and will probably die. Sam fix Cook, wounded in the back of the head. Horace Koontz, Pendleton, mortally wounded and Is dying. W. II. Kamblkr, New Columbus, fearfully wounded, but will recover. Villiam Stanley, engineer, slightly wounded . Levy Denny and Al Stanly, slight wounds. J. L. Folkner, the company of the firm, informed the correspondent "that the loss will reach 5,000. Later Horace Koontz lived only a short time after the accident. How the explosion occurred no one seems to know. The engineer is old and experienced and states it was not due to low water in the boiler. He cannot account for it. The firm's losses will foot up at least $10,000. The business was large and extensive, and the concern shipped hard wood lumber to all parts of the world. That Altered lu Time. J Mrs. Goldschmidt "Oh, Isaa;, come qrick.

HIS WIFE FLED WITH HIM.

The Mysterious Actions of at Prominent Kansas City Couple Explained. Kansas Cur, Oct. 18. The police have just completed their investigation of the mysterious flight of two fugitives. Last Friday night a man and a woman, greatly excited, went to the boat-house of Thomas Wright and purchased from the proprietor a flatboat. Later, they brought to the boat-house a heavy trunk, and asked permission to use a private room for a few moments. They were shown into Mrs. Wright's bed-room, where the trunk had already been placed. When they entered the room both were handsomely dressed in the hight of fashion. When they emerged the man looked like a tramp and the lady like a ragged beggar. Flaring the trunk in the boat the mysterious couple embarked. They told Wright.that they were going to float down the river to the. southern counties. The police investigated the affair and discovered that the coupie were man and wife Mr. and Mrs. Lee Webb. Webb, it is said, had been engaged in a number of shady financial transactions and employed the means above described to escape. Mrs. Webb had been acquainted by an outsider with her husband's guilt and eo greatly was she attached to him that 6he insisted upon joining him in bis flight. Mr. and Mrs. Webb are both members of well-known families which occupy positions high in the social soak. The couple were married only two months ago. Their flight has caused a sensation. Mr. Webb's financial complications have been compromised by his friends who are now searching for him to bring him and his devoted wife back to their home. VICTIMS OF THE WRECK. Two of the Injured May Die The Othera Doing Well. Kansas City, Oct. 10. The passengers who were injured in the wreck on the A., T. & S. F. railway near Pod;je City, yesterday, were brought here to-day. Mrs. Mary C. Dankler of Lamar, Mo., was still unconscious when she to taken from the train. She was removed to the company's hospital, where the physicians entertain but little hope of her recovery. Miss Mary Lupton of Keokuk. Ia., and E. Ii. Almen of Elgin, 111., were taken to the Sisters' hospital. They are both feriously injured. Mr. Almen is an old man and may not recover. Mis Luptcm's injuries are not dangerous. The others who were injured were not badly enough hurt to prevent them continuing their journey. All the passengers speak in high praise of the conduct of Conductor Thornberg. He was in the second coach, standing near the red-hot stove, when the accident occurred. He Held the stove in an upr'urht position until the fire was extinguished, burning his hands severely, but preventing the wreck from catching fire. "CAPT. KID'S PETS." A Band of Tonthful Fire-Hugs, Captured in KnnsA City. Kansas City, Oct. IS. A largo number of small incendiary fires have, occurred here recently. Thr police have just finished their investigation into the crimes, and have discovered that the incendiaries were a band of school boys, ranging in ae from eleven to fifteen years. They were regular! v organized and called themselves "(apt. Kid's Pets." The members are liound by bloodcurdling oaths to not reveal the "secrets of the order, and all their plans were carried out .according to written orders, signed in, tfie blood from the arms of the young desperadoes. The names of some of the band are Leroy White, John Pose, Thomas Moran, James Noran, Frank Evans and Will Brit. Will Frit has confessed that the members of the band were responsible for many small fires. The leaders of the band are under arrest. SURROUNDED BY FLAMES. Bismarck, N.

Efforts of farmers to check the huge conflagration have been unavailing and a large number of farms have already been destroyed. A strong wind has been helping the fire along.
