Influence Of asDrean.

+ The Troy Press says that the site of
the State Street NJ. E. Church, in that
city, was selected through the instru-
mentality of II dream. DR.. John Lou
don, prominent physician, who died
upward of fifty years age. was a lead
ing member and worker of the Metho-
dist denomination, and about the time
it was proposed t., erect an ediice in
the vicinity Of State street. the good
doctor dreamed that he saw a flock of
white doves alight on the lots at the
corner of State and Fifth streets. The
impression of the vision was SO vivid
that the Doctor could not shake it off.
He Insisted that 1t was good omen,
and that the church should be erected
on the lots above named. So strenuous
was he in this that he carried his point,
and the old State street sanctuary was
erected, to give was in due time to the
beautiful edif1ce now located on the
site Of the old brick structure.

The present, we believe, is the only occasion on
which the city of Wilmington has ever had the
honor Of a visit from the President Of he United
States to accept oftbe hospitality OF her citizens.
Nor was our city ever before honored by formal
visit from the General Assembly of the State
The occasion is therefore, Of great slngulari-
ty, made more memorable by the fact that our
houorcd visitors arrive on the same day. Il is
hoped, therefore, thai the short time spent with
us viii be made as agreeable as possible and that
nothing will be leit undcne that is calculated 10
promote this result.
On all former occasions when the President

From Horace Greeley's Speech at indianapolis
These gentlemen contracted with themselves
10 pay themselves twice the fair cost Of entirely
building and equipping the road, and building
the road with the proceeds Of the money lent by
the Government, they proceeded 10 divide
among themselves the other bonds, equal 10 The
amount for which Congress had made mort
gage on the entire road. BY these means
$50, ,000 600 or $50 600, 600 were divided among
the parties, and all that money so divided we
are calleo upon 10 pay. So that 10 day the
people Of this country are paying some millions
per annum out of their hard earnings for iuter
est on these bonds lent to the Pacific road
paying this money as iuiereat TO meet the vast
sums divided 10y these gentlemen among
themselves rs the dividends Of the Credit Of
MObiiier Of America. 81 Now, then,
stand here to insist that the legislation Of your
country, national and State. needs publication,
and that The leading men in our G0vernment-
the speakers and members of the committee on
Pacific railways and other railways should be
called 10 justice. Such legislation as / have
briefly exposed TO you could not have been
accomplished. could not have been effected,
without the connivance Of men in high auihor-
ty, and these facts assure yon that publication

Pensions.

Or the l4th of February, 1871, the Presl-
dent approved an act allowing from that date,
pension Of eight dollars per mouth to survlv'
ing soldiers of the war Of 1912, who served
sixty days, and were honorab;y discharged, and
by the same act The widows Of honorab'y dis
charged soldiers whose husbands served sixty
DAYS. were allowed pension at the same rate,
provided the marriage occurred prior to the
treaty of Gheut. The battle of New Orleans
having been fought subsequent to the date OF
the treaty, the Secretary Of the Interior deed
cd TO allow the claius Of such widows who
married not later than the 18th day OF Febru-
arv, 1915 The provisions of this act excluded
the pcnsiouing of number Of merllorlous per-
sons, and to provide for such cases the House
Of Representatives, at the first session OF the
last Congress, passed an amended act coutcr-
RIG the benefits of the act of 1871 upon all
surviving honoraby discharged soldiers OF the
war of 1872 who performed one day service,
aud in the event of their death, to the widows
of such as were married prior to the year 1928,
but this bill failed to receive the sanction Of
the Senate, it having been defeated in the last
days Of the late Congress
. In this vicinity there are several persons told
soldicrs) still living who served from thirty to
forty days, who would have been benefited by
the passage Of the House amendment. In one
case the widow Of soldier survives at the age
OF % ycalS; in another case an othccr who per
formed two tours Of service, covering Il period
of over six months, aud survived period OK
ccccdiDg fifty years after marriage; but the lat
ter event having occurred on the l4th OF De
ccmber, 1915, about Il year subsequent to the
Treaty Of Client, his widow cannot claim under
the act OF 1871.
1t is hoped it will DC the pleasure OF Con
grcss, at It's present session. to make provision
for such cases as we have referred to, and with
this view We call the attention of our Senators
and Representatives to the subject.

to-day Judge Smell decided the case of the
United States VS.. the Baltimore and Potomac
Company. The information in the case charg-
ed the company with maintaining nuisance on
Maryland avenue, between Ninth and Eleventh
streets, iu keeping there tracks derricks for
unloading cattle pens, &c. The court, after
reviewing the facts shown in the evidence and
the arguments submitted on the trial last week
by counsel, decided that the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Company was authorized by act of Con
gress to use the street, and that the board of
public works had sanctioned the mode of use.
He therefore gave judgment for the defendants.
