The objection that Washington Ter

that if an election we're Row held the

especially to the rapidly filling dis
tricts Of eastern Oregon and Washing

lie lands, surveyed or unsurveyed,
with the intention Of claiming the
same under the homestead laws, shall

original entry in a land cfiice as is
now allowed to settlers under the pre-
emption laws to put their claims On

CONGRESSMAN UPDEGRAFF of this
district has been authorized by a unani-
nous vote of the Committee on Pen
sions to report favorably his bill to
amend the Pension laws. There is at
present no law fixing the rate of PEN
sion to be paid to soldier or sailor
who lost one eye in the service, the 9TH
or eye remaining intact; but, by the
rating of the Pension Office, one who has
suffered in this way is paid 81 a month.
Mr.. Updegrsff's bill increases the
amount to sl2. Under existing laws a
soldier or sailor who entered the service,
having previously lost the sight of one
eye, and in the line of duty lost the
sight of the other, receives pension of
$50 month; while a person who enter
ed the service with two good eyes and
lost the sight of both in the line of duty
receives s72 a month. Mr.. Updegraff's
bill places both of these classes on an
equal footing, paying each S72 month /;
and in cases where the loss of the sight
of one eye injuriously affects the sight
of the other, the pension officer is direct
ed to increase the amount paid to the
pensioner equitably above S12 month,
but not to exceed $25 month, and in
cases of total deafness the amount au-
thorized to be allowed is raised from S13
to 925 per month.

as many railroads, against the reduction

amendment to the Fitz John Porter bill
was submitted. Bills were reported in

the New York worlds fair. A resolu.
tion was offered that a United States
vessel carry. free contributions of food

minority reports in the ingalls, case were

eral hours were devoted to rambling

ting to riders on appropriation bills.

on steel rails and the Weaver bill were
introduced. A resolution providing that
q United States vessel take contribu.

persistent objections of Senator Voor-
heeS.

BRIDGEPORT.

A singular feature of our news mar
ket is, the more varied the occupation
and the greater number engaged in the
various pursuits, the greater dearth OF
news. We never knew the people of our
town to be so generally at work, with SO
little of the sensational mixed in. There
has been large influx of population of
varied character, and yet our people
are peaceable, healthful and happy.
True, the Law and Order" Society is
making things very lively for the saloon
keepers, who have been roughly handled
and severely punished for alleged viola
tions of the law. While there seemed
to be no doubt of the guilt of tire ac-
cused parties, the manner of bringing
about the prosecutions, will, in the
end, we opine, do vastly more harm than
good. Execute the laws, punish the
guilty. Vindicate the right, but out upon
a Judas to do it.
Our genial friend C. C. Kelly, has re-
tired from the First Natl Bank, to ac-
Bellaire. Count Cook III early as one of
the cleverest boys alive. We wish him
abundant success in his new enterprise.
Jimmy Holloway, recently of the Etna
Mill, takes his place in the Bank.
We understand Mr.. Rainey, represent
ing the "Rainey Coal Works." above
Martins Ferry, has bought the coal un-
der the Boyd farm, on the line of the
I. V. Railroad, miles west of town. and
purpose soon opening up extensive
mines.
The 7. V. Railroad, under efficient
management, with full force of men,is
opening up their extensive coal fields ON
the FOu,k or Thompson farm, miles
west of town. This is intended to be a
vast work, employing perhaps several
hundred hands, and will be put in work
ing shape promptly.
Then, Charley Seabright, of Martins
Ferry, has bought the old sheridan Coal
Works." fer $4,000, and intends to put
them in splendid working order soon
SO quickly follows one enterprise after
another.
Mrs. Janette Adolpl, a most worthy
old lady, formerly of Steubenville, in the
full enjoyment of her usual health, on
Thursday evening last, complained of al
ouuuCu pam III hCA hCdu, odiih III uccp
helpless stupor, which ended in peace
full death on Saturday morning, from
appoplevy, aged 81 years. In all her re-
lations of life-friend. neighbor. and es-
pecially mother, her affection was tender
as a child's.and as confding. Herlife was
absorbed IN the happiness aud well be-
ing of her children, to whom she was
devotedly attached. She was buried at |
on Monday.
A most atrocious assault was made by
a seoundrel named John Nixon, on anil
innocent old lady named Bowman, rs
years of age, in the woods south of the |

creek. miles west Of Bridgeport. The
old lady was in the woods gathering
roots, and was suddenly accosted by the
villain, strong young man, who at once
overpowered the old woman, and ac-
complished his iiendish purpose, and
then fed. Information was soon made
before Mayor Robinson, and officers
sent on the trail OF the scamp, who was
found in bed near Neff s Siding. about
midnight of Saturday, by PoliceInan
Platt. Brewer, who marched his chicken
10 Bridgeport leck-up. On Monday
morning he had hearing before the
Mayor, when he unblushingly plead
guilty, and was at once sent to st. Clairs-
vile for future disposal. 1t is to he
hoped the full measure of the law will
be meted out to him. -

/ The Mexican veterans held a meeting
in City Hall, Martins Ferry, on Friday
last, at p. NJ; C. n. Allen, of Steuben-
vile, was Chairman. Resolutions were
passed memorializing Congress to grant
the survivors the lOng-promised right
a pension, and asking our Senators and
Representatives to work and vote for it.
After hours of pleasant "reminiscences,
and fighting the battles of the now,
long, long ago over again, the little
squad adjourned to meet at the call of
the President. Capt. Dean, Chairman
of the Camp Fire, in Commercial Hall,
ia the evening, personally rendered the
Veterans the hospitalities of the occa-
sion, which. with thanks, was accepted.
The soldiers of the late war at Mar
tins Ferry, had a camp fire and bean
supper at Commercial Hall, on Friday
kyening. which was a most enjoyable
sifair sociably, and a grand success f.
nancially. The fine hall was pack
ed with happy crowd, which left "the
boys $50 ahead for contingencies. The
Wheeling boys, with their usual corps
de esprit. were over in force,as they have
so often came before, and their whole
sonled genial smiles lent additional zest
to the occasion. Forever fresh keep
alive the memories, boys, of Buena Wis
ia, Kenesaw, and Winchester. with
Sheridan only five miles away.
Our community was sorrow-stricken
when the news of the S. w. Railroad
accident reached us, especially when we
were left to believe perhaps fatal inju-
ries had happened to Hon. Lorenzo Dan
ford and others. The friends of the
Captain came from the hill-t0ps, and
hung, with the most painful suspense,
awaiting the slightest news from the
front. We have rarely seen a profound
er impress in community. And, so,
'twixt hope and fear, we waited till the
first definite, reliable news came, that
the injuries were not necessarily fatal
then came hope and gratitude to many
sad hearts; and so AS the news grew
more and mere favorable, our mourn
ming was turned into joy, till now
we all earnestly wish for the speedy re-
covery of the Captain and all others.
After all, Captain, your hurt will be
greatly compensated in the attestations
of kindly regard it excited. May many
years yet be thine, with your wonted
health and increased prosperity.
