HrxTiN'OTos, Mat 20. Special. Roanoke, a town of about six hundred inhabitants in the northeast corner of this county, is all excitement. Last midnight it was awakened from its quiet by an alarm of fire. The burning building was a small frame occupied by Christian Habaoz and bis wife, aged, respectively, sevtinty-five and seventy jears. When an entrance was forced the wife was found upon a bed, her throat cut from ear to ear and the bed on lire. The body was removed and a search made for the husband. The trap door leading to the parret was Llocked and entrance was impossible. That pari of the building was on fire also. Y.'hen the roof fell in the charred body of the husbaai was eeen upon the garret fiocr. The evidence brought oat at the coroner's inquest today was to the effect that Habagoz waa very eccentric and peculiar and rag subject to tits of insanity. At such times he was a torror to tho neighbors aa he was known to keep two muskets, two revolvers and some knives about the bom?, and had exhibited them when it did not please him to have the neighbors call. He threatened thern with bodily injury or destruction of their property if they interfered with any of his atlairs. For several weeks Mrs. Habagoz has been in feeble health and he would permit no one to see her, not allowing oven a physician to attend her. He was in one of his spells again Saturday and he waa heard to say that upon the death of his wife he would shoot himself. Circumstances point to the conclusion that he cut his wife's throat, set the house on fire and took his own life. He waa seen grinding a large knife the evening before the tragedy. Such a knife fell from the garret with hia burned body. He was a native of Germany and had no nearer relatives than two nieces. In the aahea today was found nearly two hundred dollars in gold and silver. This was secreted in jars in a hole undor the house. It is suppoäöd that a large euro in paper money was consumed. MONTE MEN CORNERED. ZIow Eiljon Foster o(outh Iirnd Foiled the Cant Shark. Sonn Bend, May 2. Special. Edson Foater of South Bend had rather a novel experience in Middlebury whero he conducts a etoro and owns a number of farms near the village. , A very well dressed and smooth spoken gentleman approached Mr. Foster and aid he understood there were a number of farms for eale in that neighborhood, Mr. Foster's among them. Mr. Foster aid he had a farm that he would appose of and procuring a carriage the two gentlemen drove out. They had been looking around a abort time when a stranger drove up from the opposite direction to that which they had come. The newcomsr stopped and chatted awhile when . he took out some carda and began to throw them. After a few turns of the carda the stranger announced that Mr. Toater had won $-'5,000 and the money was counted out and delivered, the South Itend man putting it in his pocket Some more time was spent in pleasant chat, all the parties being gifted conversationalists, and the man with the papers gave Mr. Foster another chance and he "won $-,0GO more. The ailable stranger Bai i Mr. Foster was again a winner, but it would be necessary for him to put np SlO.OoO aa a guarantee of good faith. He coolly walked about, discussing different topica and waiting patiently 'or come of the neighbors to pasa along the road that he might call them to hia assistance and confiscate the $5,000 resting so peacefully in his pocket. He trilled with the strangers for upwards of an hour, an4 no one showing up to apsist him in caee of need, he waa forced to return the money to the swindlers. The three-card men probably realized that they had mistaken their man and were glad to be rid of him. It is to be regretted that no one happened along, for in that event the clever swindlers would have experienced some trouble in regaining their boodle. AN OLD JOKE AGAIN. A Tonng Altornj Join In a Hunt for the .Mystical Snipe. Washington, May 27. Special. For several days past aeveral young men have been tailing Henry Lordinett of the fine anipe hunting three miles north of the city, and the young attorney expressed a desire to go out with the boyseome bright eight and catch a mesa or two. Laat night a merry party, with Mr. Bordinett as the central figure, took to the swamps io quest of anipe. After reaching the sniping grounds the victim was given a sack and candle and located at a atation where the anipe do ueually

They eure Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, Sick or IJilious Headaches, and all derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. mot congregate. The other members of the party started out to do the driving leaving Mr. Bordinett in ecstatic expectation of a line catch. It is alleged that the young lawyer atood immovable one and a hali hours, holding open the sack with hia candle for bait, and every moment expecting the birds to round-up in his vicinity. Hut the birds did not appear, and Mr. Bordinett'a cramped position gave him a mild case of the fantoils, and he at last discovered that the boys had played it low down on him. As he awoke to a realization of his position he began planning to get out of the swamp, and, holding his candle high above his head, and wrapping the sack about bis person, he located his position and struck a lively gait for Washington. After a walk of two miles he was picked up by the party and carried home in triumph. Mr. Bordinett didn't lose his temper. He rarely does. But he realized at once that somebody had a "boss on him," and he laughed the affair away. Today he knowj that somebody has evened up a score with him, and although he doe not trip along as livelv as usual, still he seems to be enjoying life about as usual, and is methodically laying wire to trap the boys who gave him such a splendid initiation into the mysteries of anipe hunting. TWO LOVERS FIGHT. An rnrumantlc Con-liiHioii to mi ArT:iir of tli 1 1 fart. IIcsTiNi.TON-, May Special. A sensational encounter took place laat night.

Anderson, May 28. Special. Morris McDaniel, a wealthy farmer living near this city, was in town last evening with a remarkable curiosity. It was a half-grown rat wit. a gold ring about his neck. The rat's head waa so large that the ring could not be taken off. The myetefy of the ring being on the rat's neck is explained by the following story: About three months ago Mr. McDaniel'a little daughter lost a gold ring while playing in the barn on a lot of hay. Her lather searched for it, but could not find it. Yesterday morning he caught a half-grown rat in a steel trap, and around the rodent's neck waa his daughter's ring. It is supposed that the ring lost by Mi3 McDaniel had in some manner been carried to a rats' nest, and and that one of the young rats in wriggling around got his head through the ring and was unable to get it out How He Whipped Ills Tncle.

TO PURGE THE ROLL

Important Pension Ruling by Secretary Smith, Which It Is Estimated Will Save $15,000,000. MEN MUST BE DISABLED, At Least to a Degree Prohibiting Them from Work Before They Are Entitled to Government Aid. The Decision of Kaum "Which Placed Many Names Down as Beneficiaries Revoked. Alter Opinions Were Given by Attorney-General Olney and Judge Iiochren, tho New Commissioner of Pension Other AVashiugtuu Newa. Washington, May 27. Probably the most important pension decision ever sent from the ollice of the secretary of the interior to the commissioner of pensions was filed today. It is believed by thoee high in authority in the pension bureau that it will reduce the payment of pensions under the act of June 27, 18l0, between ?l.000f000 and fl'O.OUO.OOO. It involves the repeal of an order passed by Gen. Kaum and approved by Assistant Secretary P.u.stey and a return to the language of the statute requiring the disability, not of service origin, to be such as to prevent the applicant from earning a support by manual labor. Secretary Hoke Smith has been considering the principles involved in this decision tor several weeks, and so important did he deem it that when it was called to his attention from the pension board of appeals, he submitted the questions involved to Attorney-General Olney and Judge Lochren, the connruHsioner of pensions, both of whom concurred in the correctness of the decision. Decision in the itt-nnett Case. The decision is in the case of one Bennett, who eought a pension under the old law, alleging that while in the service at Ilaldigh, X. C, he was prostrated by sunstroke, which resulted in partial deafness in both ears. This application was denied on the around that, while the applicant has slight deafness, as alleged, it was not of sufficient severity to warrant any rating. The testimony showed that Rennet could hear a watch tick at a distance of half an inch from each ear. Lennett subsequently applied for and received a pension of $12 a month under the act of Juno 27, lS'.'D. This act allows a pension ranging from fl to 12 per month to ex-soldiers or sailors su.'ering from any disability of permanent character not the result of vicious habits, which incapacitates them from the performance ot manual labor in such a degree aa to render them unable to earn a support. The inahbity to earn a support is therefore made the bais of the law. During Commissioner Haum's administration an order was issued known as order number 161, which directed that all claims for a pension under the act of June 27, lS'.'O, should be rated the same as like disabilities of eervica origin, and that all ca?es showing a pensionable disability, which, if of service origin, would be rated at or above $12 a mouth, should bo rated at $12 a month. The Staixl.ini of Disability. The only requirement to obtain a pension under the law applicable to pensions of service origin is disability by reason of wounds received or disease contracted while in the service and in line of duty. Incapacity to perform tnanuel labor, sitys the secretary, which ii the foundation to the right of pension under the actof June 27, 1MO. fixes an entirely ditlerent standard of disability from that mentioned lu the revised statues covering injuries ot service origin. Disabilities inclined while in the actual servioa and illcapacity coming upon an applicant loug after service esascd, are made by the law to stand upon aa entirely ditlerent footing. Those incurred during service, and in line of duty, are pensionable without regard to capacity to earn a support, and are graded without reference to this condition, friabilities resulting from causes other than of servioe origin are only pensionable wbeu incapacity to labor joina with incapacity to earn a support, and the grades of rating are dependant upon these two conditions. When by order No. 104 it was declared that disabilities under the aot of June 37, lbüü, ahould be rated aa if of service origin, the very principle which governed the rating under the act of June 27, 1510, was displaced and a rule applicable to a different act was substituted. This vase illustrates the eflect of the departure by your bureau from the terms of the act of 1'Xt-l the applicant was awarded for "blight deafness," not of service origin. 112. The award was made under the act of 1S!0, whioh required the rata for deafness of both ears to be graded from $6 to $12. The highest amount, (12. was only to be allowed in the severest cases, deafness. It was given by your bureau for "slightest deafness" because uoder an entirely dulerem act, applicable to disabilities of service origin $15 was lowest rating for "slight deafness." The inability of the applicant to perform manual labor was not taken into consideration. Yet the act of 11-90, under which the applicant ought and wai allowed a pension, made inability of the applicant to perform manual labor in such a degree as to prevent him from earning a support, the foundation of bis claim. It ia therefore clear that the rating under the The "fads" of Bociety are on the increase. They seem to be trivial, but they are 'not. Every movement has its consequence. The "fad" of beer drinking may look trivial. It is followed by the " fad " of kidney disease, as a direct consequence. And that is not trivial. That means the grave and i 6olcmn. The situation would be truly alarming and threaten the extinction of the race were it not for two things. 1. There is always hope of reformation in tho hearts of the people. When the dangerous increase of kidney disease Is sufficiently sounded, there will be reform. This will assure future generations. 2. As to the afflicted of to-day, a knowledge of Dr. Fenner's Kidney and IJackache Cure will restore all who are adroit enough to resort to its use before it is too late. Also cures female weakness, heart disease, rheumatism and nil blood diseases. It will neither deceive nor disappoint. If in need take a bottle homo with you to-day. Delays are dangerous.

revised statutes for disabilities of service origin was substituted by order Ne. 1C4 for the rating provided under the att of 1S90. The order having resulted in an error, a senond error naturally followed, and the inability of the applicant to perform manual labor was not taken into consideration. Ja a word, the act of June 27, 1890, was changed and suspended by order No. 164, as cocstrued by your ollice, and by a practice that neglected to take into consideration the ability of the applicant to perform manual labor. The decision is signed by John M. Reynolds, assistant secretary of state. Secretary Smith, in another communication to the commissioner of pensions, eays that it hardly is necessary to present argument or to support by author.ty the proposition that neither the secretary nor the comnnHsioner can, by order or pra.'tico, supersede an act of congress, and he, therefore, directs hereafter the practice of the oihce conform to the law. The Pay's Nominations. The president today made the following appointments: Wendell A. Anderson of Wisconsin, to be consul-general of the United fctatei at Montreal. John B. Riley of N'ew York, to be consulgeneral of the l imed States at Ottawa, Can. Jacob Meeper of Masifte'imetts, to be secretary of legation and contal-geoeral cf the I'm ted States at Butfot.i, Columbia. 1'rorince McCoruiick. of Virginia, to be an Indian inspector. Georee C. Wendell of Arizona, to be commissioner on the world's Columbian coram isiod, vice William K. Meade, resigned. Attitude of the New Yorker. New Yokjc, May 27. The World's Washington correspondent says : The president la vcrr much embarrassed by the attitude of the machine toward bun in New York. He believes that it is hostile, lie kcowi that every dort of its leader is against his friends and in consequence it ia iiuDosmble for him to consult with them concerning New York appointments. The delay in the important federal appointments in New York is due to this conduct of the machine. It has been finally concluded by Mr. Cleveland and hie friend that it ia the deliberate purpose of the organization to deny recognitiou to those democrats who are kuown as the pravdent'a friends and to leave to the federal administration the duty of giving its favors to that section of the party unless it is to be utterly disregarded. It is a situation that is deplored by the administration and it is sincerely hoped tnat it may be correoted, and that speedily. MISS DAVIS' TRIP.

BROOKLYN'S POISONING CASE. Mysterious A Hair Which. AV111 De Thoroughly Investigated. New Yokk, May 27. The arlstocratio neighborhood of Clinton and Uuion-sts., Sooth Brooklyn, ia excited over a mysterious wholesale poisoning case whioh may possibly remit in the death of several persons. Stranee to say. the matter has been kept so teerst that it was not until last night that anything at all was learned of it. Among those whom the physicians are doing all possible to save from death are William J. Goker. Mrs. üokey and John Webster.everal'conaultations of physicians bava been held in relation to the condition of the liokeys, bnt last night the doctors pronounced their cases most serious and can not determine whot the outcome would be. The Cokey's as well as the others who are now entering from what the doctors diagnose as poisoning while living in private houses, took meals at fashionable boarding house kept by Mrs. Kinley who has a large number ot table boarders including many of the most fashionable people in the neighborhood. The Gokey'a and Mr. Webster were among those who dined at the Kiiiley house on Muoday evening last. On retiring to bed on Sunday night Mr. Gokey complained of feeling ill and grew so much worse that physicians were hastily summoned to the house. Mrs. Gokey was also taken ill, as well aa their little nephew, who had been paying them a visit and had also dined at the McKinley house. Then Mr. Webster fell iil, as well as several othees in the neighborhood, and hurried calls were seut out in all directions tor physicians. Thirteen persons iu all were taken ill and are not yet out of dunger. The most serious at present is Mr. Gokey, who is in greit danger. Tbe prevalent opiuiou seems to be that the poisoning was caused by the strawberries the suerers bad eaten at the McKinley houa on Sunday at dinner. But what caused the berries to be poisoned has not been learned, although it is thought it was caused by something the growers of fruit had put on them to keep oö insects while growing. Altogether the case is a mysterious one, and the greatest apprehension is felt for the Gokey s, who are prominent and wealtby members of Brooklyn fashionable society. No blsme is attached to Mrs. Mehlinley, whatever, but nevertheless the fullest investigation will Le made to learn if possible the cause of the berries being poisoned. JOHN C. NEW AT NEW YORK.

"What is the business situation in England?" he was asked. "In manufacturing and shipping and kindred lines. I should say it was as good as usual, but in financial circles there is a depresion a rather dull and unsettled feeling. This is due to the rroent Australian failures and the situation in India." "How is the situation in the U. S. treasury regarded?'' "I do not think much attention is paid to it. I do aot think it has much elleot oa the financial situation." "Could U. t. bonds be sold readily in England if new ones were issued?1' "Tha only difficulty would be that buyers would get hurt in tbe crush. There would be a swift demand tor them. The credit of this country would be such that bonds would be taken at a very low rate of interest." "It much interest taken in the world's fair in Kngland?" "Great interest is taken in the exhibit which will be made by Kngland. I saw some of the exhibits while they wta in the shops. Sir Henry Wood, James Dreage and Mr. Harris, the commissioners who hare charge of the English exhibits, have been deeply interested and have done a great deal of bard work. I do not know that the attendance from Fnglaud will le large. The hot weather of Chicago and tear that cholera may reach this country will have some etlect in keeping tho people at home."

THE TERRE HAUTE CASE. .

Report of the Civil Service Commission Concerning the l'ostoOlce. "Washington, May 2S. The civil ser vice commission yesterday transmitted to Postmaster-General Kiese'l, the report of Commissioner Kose velt upon what ia called by the commission, "the Terre Haute postoffice scandalL" Mr. Donham a democrat was appointed by President Cleveland aa postmaster at Terre Haute, Ind., Senator Yoorhees home, in place ol (ireiner, a republican. The report says: The object of Mr. Donbam was to make a clean sweep in bis turn, precisely as Mr. Greiosr, the repaltcsn postmaster, bad done ia 189, and Mr. (ireine's predecessor, the democratic postmaster, had done in 1SS5. Iba claim that Mr. Donham ditmisned the republican employes because of insubordination is sheer nonsense. In no event will it be possible for the carriers nominated for appointment by Mr. Donham on May 12 to enter the serviee in Terre Haute, save as they may subsequently pass our examination and comply with rules. The clerks be may have power to appoint; but the appointments ahould certainly not be permit lei to eland. He concludes his report by recommending that "the commission suggests to the president the advisability of forthwith issuing a rule that wbeneve hereafter any portion of the public service, or any office in tbe public service is classified, auch classification shall be held to take ellect at once, the rules forbidding the removal for political reasons being held to apply from tbe beginning so as to prevent improper advantage being taken of any necessary delav in providing examinations." Commissioner Lyman concurs in this report. Commissioner Johnston dissents from tbe conclusions arrived at, but agrees that the report and testimony shall be sent to the pobtmagter-general without comment. Justice Field to Retire.

It is generally believed here that Gresham will tmcceed Field. AVENGES HER HONOR. Handsome Young Widow Shoots tbe Man "Who Insalta Her. Dam.as. Tex., May 2.
