PENSION APPROPRIATIONS. The Amount for Next Tear Too Small to (to Around. The pension appropriation acts for the current fiscal year appropriated $88,400,000, including $8,000,000 to meet a threatened deficiency. Chief Bell, of the agents' division of the pension office, says that it is true that this amount has all been drawn from the Treasury, but that more than $16, 000,000 remains in the hands of the eighteen pension agents with which to meet the quarterly payments which fall due on June 1. It is thought that this amount will nearly suffice until July 1, when the appropriation for the next fiscal year will become available. Mr. Bell says the appropriation for the next fiscal year, $S0400,W0, is too small; and that there will be a deficiency of about $15,000,000. Gen Black, he savs, did not ask for enough money to prevent a deficiency even on the basis of expenditures then existing. around The diamond. Base-Ballists Competing: for the League Championship.

A bomb, made from a piece of gaspipe after the general style of those used by the Chicago anarchists, was hurled through a window of the handsome residence of Mrs. M. E. Weld, a wealthy widow living at Jamaica Plain, a Boston suburb, a few evening ago. The room in which it lodged was wrecked and the house set on lire. Fortunately none of the inmates were injured. No clew to the miscreant or the reason for the attack has been found. Democratic Gains in West Virginia. Th school elections throughout West Virginia show Democratic gains and the majority in the State is about 6,000. Preston, which gpve Harrison 1,500 majority, goes 800 Democratic. TheBepublican majority in Kanawha County is cut down from 1,500 to less than 200, and Berkeley, which went Republican by 200, goes Democratic by 400. Several Vessels Wrecked in a Gale. SKVEBAii vessels were wrecked by a gyle at Lewes, Del. The bark Patriot was sunk, and with her sugar cargo will be a total loss. The Norwegian brig

Thela was driven out to sea. The Nancy Lee was driven or. the rocks and completely wrecked. Another schooner is grounded, but can be saved. Wholesale Poisoning: fot Private Gain. The trial has begun at Bouen, France, of a Havre chemist's assistant namejl Baussier who poisoned with arsenic his employer, the laser's wife, the apprentices of the shop, and several customers. It is supposed his object was to purchase the business at a low figure. Glass Manufacturers Meet. The window-glass manufacturers ot the United States held a meeting at Pittsburg, Pa., and decided to allow each manufacturer, if he so desired to ran his factory until the regular time for closing for the summer vacation The price of glass was not changed. Sparks from the Wires. Preston Algabb was killed by lightning near Lombard, Md. Theodoee Von- Blox, a machinest, was mangled to death by a revolving belt at Lima, Ohio. The contract for building a $200,000 paper and pulp mill at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., has been signed. The city of Leavenworth, Kan., celebrated the discovery of coal at the New Home mine with speeches and parade. The Byegate Granite Wotks, at South Byegatc, Vt, have gone into insolvency. Liabilities, $56,000; assets, a plant whose original cost was $100,000. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. THE Ashing schooner Marion Grimes, of Gloucester, Mass., has run ashore off that port and will prove a total loss. At South Glastonbury, Conn., over 100 persons who had eaten ice-cream at a church festival are ilL The symptoms are those that attend poisoning. In manj instances whole families are sick. The trouble was traced to the vanilla ice sreamsold at the festival. The physicians express but slight hopes for the recovery of thirty-four of the victims. In other cases, where the victims partook

sparingly of the cream and the efl'ects of the poisoning are less severe, the physicians are hopeful of recovery. Of the many victims those most affected are: Miss Cora Bates, Clifford Chapman, P. B. Gammon and family of (right persons, Howard J. Hale and family of four perHons, Mva. Harry Wilier and family of thwe persons. Miss Kva McLean, Mrs. Clara Otis, Miss Minnie Phillips, George Pratt and family of five persons, H, M. Rising and family of lour persons. In these cases no hopes of recovery are entertained. Dr. Henry Bunce, the Town Coroner, has obtained a sample of the vanilla cream, and will analyze it to determine the cause of the poisoning. No one who partook of any other flavor except vanilla at the festival sutlers, aud Coroner Bunceis of the opinion that the poison was in the vanilla extract. All business has been suspended in the town on account of the affair. Fike that involved a loss of $200,000 and probably cost n man's life broke out in the stable of the Trenton Horse Car Co. near the Pennsylvania Railroad station at Trenton, N. J. The building is a huge structure, partly brick and partly frame, and the framework portion burned like tinder. While the firemen were rescuing horses peoplewero horrified at the spectacle of a man rushing from the stables half naked and in a sheet of flame. It was a car-driver who had gone to sleep in the second story and did not wake till the fire was well nnder way. Ho made several ineffectual efforts to escape from the part of the stables not burned, but failed, and finally had to rush through the blaze. He was probably fatally burned. The report from Boston that John D. Eockefeller has offered to endow the proposed Baptist university at Chicago to the amount of 600,000 has been confirmed at the office of that gentleman. It is reported among leaders of the Baptist denomination that he will increase his gift to something like $3,000,000 if necessary. It is said to be the desire of the combine to repurchase the university property, which was formerly held by the Chicago Baptists, and make it the site of the university. This fund must reach $1,000,000 before definite plans are agreed upon, but no difficult' is expected in raising tha balance. In the Presbyterian General Assembly at New York, the Eev. Dr. Kichols, Chairman of the Committee on Home Missions, made a renort recommending that $875,000 be appropriated this year for home missionary work. AT Elizabeth, N. J., Ambrose Van Tassel fell dead while funeral services were being conducted over the remains of his wife. In compliance with a request from President Laughlinof the Board of Charities and Correction George W. Symonds, the reporter who secured admission to the insane department of the Philadelphia Hospital (the county almshouse) and afterward wrote up the institution, has appeared before Magistrate Smith and made an affidavit charging Keepers Joseph Marshall, Joseph Devlin, and Joseph Williamson with assault and battery upon numerous patients of the institution. Warrants were at once issued for the arrest of tha three keepers. Catherine O'Donnell, of Boston, was convicted of manslaughter, for drowning her infant child.

The helplest victims were soon found by a passing friend and the alarm was given. A posse of whites and blacks started in pursuit and captured the villains near the scone of

the assault. They were tauen no the

WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Tee area sown in barley in the United States remains about the same from year to year. In Dakota quite an increased acreage was seeded in 1888, which was balanced by reductions in other sections; but this year reports of Dakota correspondence show a falling off in this repect. It is quite probable that the entire acreage of the present season will not much, if any, exceed that of 1888, which was estimated by the department to be 2,652,957 acres. The reports of correspondents show that only a very small acreage has been sown in Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois, and practically none in Indiana, Kentucky, and Kansas. The per cent, of acreage in other States, as compared with one year ago, we summarize as follows: Dakota,, 92 per cent.; Minnesota, 96 per cent.; Wisconsin, 95 per cent.; Nebraska, 97 per cent.; Iowa, 94 per cent. Telegraphic reports from what is termed Middle California report an earthquake. At some points, especially in the San Joaquin Valley, the shocks were quite severe, in a few cases the tops of chimneys being thrown down. The shock was sufficiently heavy in San Francisco to awaken nearly all slumbeiers. The Tewksbury almshouse horrors were not more shocking than the revelations that are being made in the insane asylum investigation at Chicago. Two ex-patients from the asylum told the court of numberless beatings and kickings, of patients driven to bed by blows, insufficient food, sufferings from the cold in winter and the heat in summer.

One of the witnesses showed an arm that had been broken by an attendant and another revealed the death of a patient after a terrible beating The corner stone of the De LaSallo

Institute at Chicago has been laid by

Archbishop Feehan, assisted by a large number of Catholic societies. A feature of the ceremony was the parade in which 15,000 men marched in line. Louis Eaffirt committed suicide at St. Louis because Miss Victoria Leinge refused to marry him, A dozen of the younger members of the St. Louis Board of Trade have been suspended for blowing toy whistles during trading hours. A large number of the victims' friends threaten to start a new exchange. The 60,000-Jmshel elevator of the Northern Pacific Kailroad at Davenport, D. T., was destroyed by lire. The loss is unknown. Charles V. Harms, night clerk at the Arcade Hotel, at Omaha, Neb., shot himself while standing behind the desk at the hotel. An unfortunate love affair was the cause. The Carter divorce case at Chicago came to an end by the jury finding for husband, and pronouncing Mrs. Carter guilty of inhdenty. SOUTHERN "INCIDENTS.

The latest reports from the flooded districts of Austria show that the loss of life is much greater than was supposed. In many places the bursting -.vf dykes has flooded the surrounding territory and utterly destroyed the crops. Many narrow escapes from death are reported. The deepest distress prevails throughout the submerged districts, and steps are beingtaken to relieve the immediate wants of the sufferers. Advices from Peru say that tho Verugas viaduct on the MoyaBailwoy, near Lima, was destroyed by a cload-burst. An immense column of water swept down the mountain, taking huge bowlders with it, carrying away a viaduct which cost $500,000. In Peru's penniless condition the bridge cannot be rebuilt. Without the viaduct the railway is useless. Besides this misfortune, Peru is attacked with yellow fever. During a fog the steamer Beresford collided with the steamer German Emperor off the Goodwin sands in the English Channel. Ihe shock of the col

lision was tremendous, and the uerman Emperor sank almost instantly, and six of her crew were drowned. Ihe Beresford managed to keep afloat, though somewhnt damaged, and succeeded in reaching Gravesend. She brought twelve of the German Emperor's crew. Upon the arrival of the steamer City of Paris in the Mersey at Liverpool, a special tender decorated with flags put out to the vessel for the purpose of conveying Bobert T.

The fourth week ot the champion right finds every team "in it," with the single exception, perhaps, of Washmerton, with lioston. Puiladeiphia and Kew York making a great fight. Chicago (Mid Pittsbur piuyiiiif a gritty, determined game, and Cleveland the League bubymakiug a bid for pennant honors against the big teaa.s that is delighting lovers of base-ball in the Forest City, and astonishing every other club tn the League From present indications tne flag of IS Si does not scorn to be be;ond the reach of any ona of the six leading teams, although, of course, there is sure to bo many a change in the standins cf the contestants before the conclusion of the race next fill.

Just at present Philadelphia seems to

ossess the strongest of the four Eastern

eairuo teams. This may be laughed at by

those readers who have supreme faith in Boston's great aggregation ot talent, or those who think bectuse New York won the championship lat year it can do it thin C I at k son aud Kerf 3 are great pitchers, to be sure; but Ciarkson can not pitch all of Boston's games any more than Kecfe can do all of tho work for Now York, and, aside from thesa two men. ntitb sr Boston nor New York at present hus a winning pitcher in condition. New York, moreover, has no such lot of baserunners as Philadelphia has, and neither Boston nor New York U hitting the ball as Chicago has been hitting it ever sines the season opened. Argument based upon the make-up of a team, however as to which city will probably fly the pennant is oftcner time lost than otherwise; for without regard to talent, the tesm which sticks together longest, does the oest tara work, keeps in the best condition, and is handled with the best judgment, generally gets there, and such will probably prove tho case this season. Indeed, all indicatives point to this end. Washington and Indianapolis started out in. the race with some of the best ball-playing tahmt in the country in rank, and yet one has gone to pieces, and the other is failing to hold its own in the race, not through lack of ability, but simply through loose work in the field, as the result of poor captaincy and indifference to team worL lioston, on the other hand, has up to the present time played & smooth, machine-like frumt. and New York is doinff likewise. How long they may do so after the strain of continued work begins to tell upon their pitchers is a question. If Itadboum and Welch recover thoir old form at an early day. so as to relieve Ciarkson and Koefe in the box, Boston and New York should both continue very formidable so lotng as they stick to their present grade

oi team work, rhuadclphia und Chicago, on th i other hand. ;iro both doing admirably in this respect. Chicago, though' crippled by the loss of Williamson, is still playing btilliant ball, and this fact is due more than anything else to its good stick work and to its undeniably fine team work, the latter boing the result, in a greai: measure, of Anson's, careful and effective training. When my last letter was written, the Chicago team was on its way East to play its first series of games upon Eastern soil. It opened its campaign in Philadelphia, and' of ti:o four games played with Barry Wright's boys, won but one of them. The first game that of eleven innings was without question taken from Chicago by Umpire McQuade; for a rank decision at first-base in the fourth inning, with two men out, enabled the Quakers to scows the three runs which tied the game, and eventually erave tho victory to the home team. But for this decision tlie teams would have broken oven on th3 series. In three' of these games the lidding of both Chicago and Philadelphia was grand. Wood and Fogarty, and indeed M;r Sam Thoinpsou as well, did some outfield work for Harry Wright during the series that was simply marvelous, while Gumbert in lett. Van Haltren tn oen-. ter, and Hugh Duffy in right for Chicago made an equally pretty record. OumberV is not an.outiielder. cither. He is a pitcher, but Williamson's absence compelling Anson to send Byan to short, Gumbert is utilized in the outfield, and despite a severe attack of charley-horse, he is acquitting: himself with great credit. At no time sinoe the great butting season of Gore and Dal-' rymple, and Kelly and Anson and Pf offer and Williamson and Burns made Chicago the greatest batting aggregation in the country, has Anson got so formidable a team of hit ters together. With the exception of "Old Sil ver" Flint, whose days as a great batsman (but not as a great catcher) have probably gone, all of the men are hitting in' a style that promises to easily give them flr.M, place again this season in the baiting list. Anson thinks at least, and his judgment in such things is generally correct, shoe:: hits. Williamson is with his team aarain, but is not playing. He will probably go to Hot Springs next week for a month's rest. George Wood, the Phillies out-tieldr. in playing the game of his life this season lit: is scoring game alter game for his caain by his great stick work and line fielding. Arthur Irwin, captain of the Phillies, is still taking a rest fogarty captains the tenm meanwhile. Washington has a c:ood infield, and that is about all. It cannot hit. it has no regular outfield, no catchers, and not much in tho way of pitching talent. Anson thinks Philadelphia the strongest club in the league, aside from Chicago. The old man. by the way. was never more confident of getting there than he is this season. Watch the Chicago team's batting rtoord frcm this time on. Hrouthers, ot Boston, is giving Anson groat race in the bat ting record. Indeed. Brouthers leads the old man a little at this writing. Kach and every player (now at work in tho League or Association) who made the tour of the world with Mr. Spalding last winter is playing in trreat form this season. Anyone who does not believe this should look at the records of Tern Brown of Boston, Carroll and Hanionof Pittsburg. Wood and Fogarty of Philadelphia, Manning ot Kansas City, Earle of Cincinnati, and of Pfefler. Burns, Tenor. Anson and the balance of the lobo-trotters. Dwyer, Gumbert, and Tener have thus far shown bettor forox than any of the Chicago pitchers. Karrell is catching a fine game for Anson s geatlemen. Chicago opens the next series on the Chicago grounds June 1. Habbt Palm sb.

I wish I had stolen ten thousand instead of tea; then I wouldn't have got such a heavy sentence. Hannah Battersby, the fat woman, was advertised as weighing 800 pounds. She was weighed after her death the other day, and the exact figures were 343 pounds. A Kansas Citv jury has given woman $3,000 against three saloon men who persisted in selling her husband intoxicants ifter they had been warned not to do so.
