During the past week Henry Bream,

| During the past week Henry Dreamer,
a German individual, well known in the
western section OF Baltimore on. account
of his economical traits of character,
died at his home on Garrison's lane, near
the Frederick road, after a briet illness.
He was seyenty-fye years of age, and
shortly before his death he announced
to friend that during his whole life he
had never given away a cent, nor spent
one when it was not absolutely neces-
sary. Some four years ago he married a
third wife, who, by the way, is a young
woman, but unlike most men in their
dotage, he had held her well in hand,
and compelled her to work in wilkins
hair factory. Her weekly earnings were
regularly turned over to Dreamer, who
attended personally to all household
matters, and bought the coarse food they
lived upon. About six years ago he
bought a secondhand pine coffin case
from an undertaken, and that piece of
furniture was stored away in the upper
part OF the house until it would come
into use. A few days before dying he
told his wife that his funeral expenses
must not exceed $40, and he decided that
his mortal remains could be carried to
the graveyard by two or three men much
cheaper than they could be hauled in a
ucdIoo VII mohibS Ap4uAy ~ was
found that it would cost about $12 to en-
ploy Six men to convey the miser's body
to the grave, and rather than pay that
sum an express wagon was hired for 70
to do the job. The night previous to his
death, Dreamer sent for q barber and
was shaved, as that operation would
have cost 81 if postponed until after
his death, while before it cost but ten
cents. He also stipulated that there was
to be no money wasted In buying can
dies or oil to burn at his wake. The flu
neral procession consisted of the furni-
ture wagon, containing the remains, and
eleven friends and relatives of the de-
ceased on foot. The faithful wife of the
dead man carried out his instructions to
the letter, and the total expenses attend.
ing the funeral amounted to only$8 10.
Dreamer had during his long lie man.
aged, by quiet economy and abstinence,
to scrape together considerable amount
of wealth. He owned about $4,000
worth of real estate and had $4,000
in bank. He made q will leaving
the property to his son in Indiana and
his wife, but cautioned them to save it
carefully.

WASHINGTON, April GA claim has
been Iiled in the Department of State by
Hon. Jas. M. w. Nolen, OF Philadelphia,
on behalf of Mr.. V. Brunei, for damages
against the Spanish Government for mis-
arbitrary expulsion from the Island of
Cuba. Mr.. Brunei is native of Phila-
delphia, but resided in Cienfuego until
1869, when he came to the United States
TO educate his sons.
1t is again stated that Superintendent
McCartee, of the Treasury Printing Bu-
reau, will retire in about three weeks.
Mr.. New, the incoming Treasurer, will
not contend tor the right OF, making ap-
pointments in his Department. His
friends assert that he wall gladly leave
that to Secretary Bristow.

pointments are announced. Storekeep-

Arnls for LnliIOrnia.

WASHINGTON, April .5.-senator Sar.
gent had an interview with the Secre-
tary of War and his Chief of Ordinance
last Saturday and laid before them a
telegram from Governor Pachecco, ask.
ing an issue of new arms to the State.
These authorities decline to act until a
detailed account is furnished by the
Governor in reply to a letter already
sent to him on the subject.
There is heavy balance against the
State for arms. The recent legislation
is designed to open way to cancel this
Indebtedness, and that must be done be-
fore more arms can be issued. The War
Department will allow all arms de-
stroyed in service, or by fire, and will
receive back those In the hands of the
militia or State. and then if the arms ac-
counted for sover the Indebtedness, the
Government will issue the kind of arms
desired by the State to fill it's quota.
General Bennett promised the Senator
that no time should be lost when the
Governors reply comes to hand. Gener-
alities of the telegram will not cover the
case, and the best way is to make an
early and complete reply to the Depart
ment.
