Pension Report.

WASHINGTON, November 5.
The report Of General Baker, Commits
sioner of Pensions, says 16, 405 new pen
sioners were admitted to the pension rolls
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1878, and 1928 names were dropped for
various reasons. The net gain to the
number of pensioners was G, 1882, making
the grand total of pensioners of all classes,
238, All, classified as follows: Army in
valids, 109,804; army widows and Deepen
dent relatives, 112088; survivors of the
war of 1919, 5,053; Navy invalids, 1,430;
Navy widows and dependent relatives,
1,70i. Besides the increase to the annual
amount Of pension caused by the addition
of new pensioners, the rates of pension
have been increased in 21,761 cases. The
total increase of the rate Of former PEN
sioners amounted to 1858, S25. The amount
Of the pension roll was also otherwise in
creased, including $500, 430 by the admis-
sion of 5,428 survivors and widows Of the
War of 1912, and the net increase in the
annual amount, after deducting $56S, 600
decrease in pensions to army widows and
dependent relatives, was $447, 81, making
the total annual amount of pensions, June
30, 1878, $26,259,284. The total disburse-
ments were, however, some $2,926, 900
greater than this amount, the difference

year, an unexpended balance of 81, 300, 900
was covered into the Treasury.

A Courageous Conductor.

No GAME to win money from gamblers
has been exposed oftener than three-card
monte, but for all that has been said
against IL the game continues to be the
most profitable which gamblers and
sharpers can devise. Nine men out of
ten are certain that they can keep track
of cards, and can point out the one to
which their attention had been previous
ly directed, but these nine men are just as
certain to get fooled. 1t is not one time
in twenty that man can win, and if he
does win the gamblers have some excuse
for not forking over. A railroad car Is
the best place for the game, and for the
last month a trio of monte men have been
working" the lines running into Detroit.
They have been put off the Central,
chased off the Detroit and Milwaukee,
and kicked off the Lansing road, but they
made a fresh start the other morning on
the Southern, going out on Conductor
Wilsey's train. AT the depot they got in
with an old man named Fremont, who
lives in Pittsburgh and was on his way
home. They pretended TO live in Pitts
burgh also, and soon after getting on
board the train they brought out their
cards. Fremont is one of those smart old
chaps who think themselves posted, and
he knew the game and decided to make
some money out of them. He lost S.,
then SO, and between Detroit and the
junction he lost $55. This was all the
money he had, but his blood was up, and
he had hauled out heavy gold watch to
stake on the next bet, when the conductor
passed along. Seeing what was going on
Wilsey told the old man to put up his
watch. AT this one of the gamblers
snatched it, saying, ~ have won this"
and then looked up a. the conductor with
face full of brass. lhe train had been
at stand-still, and as it started the con-
ductor pulled the signal TO stop, and turn
ed to the gamblers and demanded that
they give Fremont back his watch and
money. "Not by a long sight, they
shouted in chorus. Wilsey "shed" his
coat for business, and all the ladies In the
car got up and ran out. "Ah! hal" said
one of the gamblers as the conductors
coat came off, "this is better!" and he
pulled out revolver and lined 1t on
Wilsey's eye. Commence shootingr re-
piled the conductor, and out came his
own shooting-iron, and for twenty seconds
two revolvers were held into two mems
faces, hammers up and fingers on the
triggers. The two other gamblers began
to feel for their hip pockets, when Wilsey
quietly said, "If you don't hold up your

hands I'll blow the top of your head off. !"
They quit feeling, and at that moment
Cleveland merchant and Toledo lake
captain came up, each with a cooked re-
volver, and demanded 70 be counted 'in."
AT this the gamblers offered to restore the
watch, and when they had done so the
conductor made them return the full fifty
five dollars. "Now, them" said he, when
he was through with them, get of this
train! l shall remember you, and II
ever catch one of you on my train again
I'll have the engineer run her up to sixty
miles an hour and my brakesmen will
pitch you into the first swampp The
fellows were ready to go, and as each one
passed through the door piece OF calf
skin and sole leather struck him under
the coat tails with full swing, materially
assisting him to reach the platform with
the least possible delay. The ladies were
then recalled, revolvers put up, and the
train went ahead. This statement was
furnished our reporter by one who saw
the whole transaction.-Detroit Free

The Burning Of the steamer Bayarisn.
IRON. the Toronto Globe, Nov. III

L
The Purser, Mr. l.. a. Mcpherson, ar.
from the East, and was waited upon by
one Of our reporters, to whom he gave
the following statement with respect "
the catastrophe:
"We left Toronto yesterday (Wednes.
day) afternoon, at five o'clock. When off
Oshawa, and about fifteen miles from
shore, fire broke out amidships, and the
boat was almost Immediately mass of
flames Three boats were lowered, one of
which drifted away before any one got
into it. 1t was not blowing hard at the
time The other two boats reached land
in safety about one O'Clock this morning.
One of them was commanded by the first
mate, John Henderson, of Charlotte, n
Y, and contained thirteen persons, two
of whom were passengers, and the rest
members of the crew. The passengers
were J. J. Parmenter, Toronto, and Mas
ter James Clare, Of Manitoba; the others
were Charles Bradley, second mate; James
Finucane, the Waterman; two firemen;
L. Lecont, wheelsman William Merchis-
ton and John Revere, walters; a mess
room boy, a deck hand whose name / do
not know, and Henderson and myself.
The other boat was commanded by the
pilot, Frenchman, whose first name was
Napoleon, and contained nine persons, all
belonging to the crew. Among them
were the ladies' maid, Ann Gerraghty, and
John MCGOWAN, fireman. The names of
the others do not know
"There were fourteen persons left aboard
the steamer who could not be got off. The
flames spread so quickly that it was
almost impossible to do anything. One
of the small boats was scorched, and one
of the mates got his face burned. Amongst
those lost are the Captain, Charles Car
michael, of Toronto; the Chief Engineer,
William Finucane, of Prescott; the stew
ard, William Spence, Of Lachine, former
ly OF Kingston; Mrs. Sibbald and daugh-
ter, Of Rockville; Miss Ireland, of Kings
ton, who was returning home from Chat
ham, where she had been seeing her
brother, and Mr.. Hillyard Wear, of Chat
ham, who had been travelling with her.
There was very little screaming, or any
thing of that sort, but when we were leav-
ing the steamer | heard something like
moaning. Some one said that they saw
two women standing on her stern. The
last saw of Captain Carmichael he was
in the water holding on to a plank. He
called out, "Charley, Charley, Charley"
to the second mate, and we went over to
him a boy who was near him then got
hold of the boat, and, while we were
pulling him in, the Captain seemed to
paddle away from us, and we lost him.
Some one said that he had life-pre-
server, but it is not likely he lived long,
the water was so cold. A tug was tow
ing the steamer into Whitby when | left
She had on board about 1900 barrels of
apples, about fifty tons of bacon, and a
small quantity of other freight when she
was burned"

THE country around Lake Chelan in
Washington Territory has an earthquake
which has apparently come TO stay. There
is almost daily repetition of slight
shocks. In some places the earth has
sunk, in other places lakes have formed
where there was no sign formerly of wa
ter, and along the banks of the Columbia
river large masses of rocks have become
detached from the banks and tumbled into
the river, causing it TO cut new channels.
The seat of the earthquake seems to be
just below the lake, and fifteen or twenty
miles from the Columbia. The Indians
say the noise resembles thunder, and is
of almost daily occurrence, and that at
one time there was an issue of salt water
from fissure in the earth that covered
the ground knee-deep, which, too, was
charged with most horrid smell. The
Indians are very much scared about the
phenomenon-so badly frightened, in fact,
that they call it halluima chuck.
