THOSE PENSION ARREARS

Far and wide in the Republican as well
MS the Democratic press great hue and
FRY has been raised with reference to the
passage of the bill appropriating the insig.
niiicant sum of few hundred millions to
pay the deficiency nthc matter pensions.
II is said, no doubt truthfully, that about
a. much fraud as could well be compressed
into any one measure is lurking under the
pension Arrears Act and many honest
and patriotic men think and contend that

Congress. Fraud under any and all circum-
stances ought to meet it is true, the
speedy and uncompromiSing opposition not
only of legislators, but of every good citi.
zen, but wholesale attack ought not ia be
made by Congress upon measure evil

the false and fraudulent. There is no dis .

during the few years just past, in the pen
sion department, brought about by
INSCRIPTIONS claim agents, who have
made as many widows and orphans and
crippled soldiers on paper and by
affidavit, as did the war almost, but Il is
better that few of these false claims or
even many of them should pass without de.
lection than that some poor starving and
aged pensioner, Justly entitled to assistance,
should fail to receive the same. But there
is no necessity for either course. Commit.
tees are created in legislative bodies for no
other purpose than to investigate, hear and
weigh testimony, as such course is imprac.
ticable in the body us u whole, and this mat.

Two Highwaymen Stop Two Farmers and
Compel Them to Shell out

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. D. Morris and a
young man whose name the reporter tailed
TO learn, while on their way home from this
city to Denton county, were robbed
by two highwaymen, who forced them at
the point of piStolt to give up all the money
they had. They had came to Dallas in a
wagon to do some trading and on
their return, when some six miles
out on the Denton road while they were
driving slowly along two masked men
sprang from the bushes out into the road
and leveling their pistols on
them, commanded them to halt
and shell out what money
they had, and to use the expression of one
OF the robbers to be very previous about

all to $il.35, for they contributed with that
al2crity that would induce one under any
other circumstances to believe that they
were cheerful giyers. When they had Sc
cured their booty they ordered their vic
TINS to drive on and drive fast, or
else they would introduce u let of lead into
their bodies. The victims drove rapidly
and the last seen by them of the robbers

below the eyes They were roughly dressed
and wore SLOUGH hats, with their pants in

was lodged at the Sherllrs Office and the
deputies went ont on scent. These are
no doubt the same parties that robbed
Dickey and DeJarnette on the Preston
road few days ago.

ArRoros TO a subject attracting consider
able attention at present; "Thc. Baton
Rouge Advocate of recent date discusses
very ably the question of the proposed Flor
ida canal, and the great benefits that would
accrue to New Orleans by Its CONSTRUCTION,
1t holds that canal through the narrowest
part Of the Florida peninsula is an absolute
necessity for carrying on the interchangcs
between the Gulf coast and the Atlantic
and European ports. 1t claims, that the
saving in insurance, in delays and in actual
losses, would more than compensate for
the necessary expenditure under existing
circumstances, but the volume of produc-
tons swelling through these channels
promises TO increase to such degree in the
.noar future that the digging ofthis canal is
IAN impcrious necessity that should re-
ccive immediate attention from the govern.

An Infants Half-MiIIion Gone.

Eight years ago William H. Taylor, Of
Albany, died, leaving son four year:
cid and an estate, to which the infant
was sole heir, estimated to be worth al
least half million of dollars. In an ar.
gument before Judge Westbrook, at AL.
hany, on a motion involving the trans.
fer of the proceeds of real-estate sales.
it was charged that the income of this
once princely fortune is not now suf.
Iicient to support the heir and pay take:
and interest charges. Bad management.
depreciation of values, and various 9th.
er causes have, it is said, contributed to
this result. Judge Westbrook made an
order for the payment of certain taxes
and judgments, and will at future day
take proof relative to charges preferred
by the Hon. Hamilton Harris against
the managers of the estate.-7roy IN

Locomotive Bell-Ringing by Steam.

Railroad men are just now greatly in
terested in novel appliance to locomo-
tives, whereby the heretofore laborious
task of ringing the bell at crossings and
while approaching towns and villages,
which has devolved upon the fireman,
to the manifest neglect, in many in
stances, of his other duties, will be auto.
matically performed by steam power,
easily regulated and controlled. The
not infrequent loss of life hereabouts,
as we'll as through the Western country,
where grade crossings are as rule un-
protected, has set railroad men to think
ing, as in majority of cases verdicts
against the road employing the careless
fremen have been recovered. 1t seems
strange that so simple an application OF
steam, of which there is always sur
plus in locomotive boilers, should nov
have ere this been made. The device
consists merely of a small cylinder con,
tanning revolving piston, connec'ea
directly with the bell yoke by means Oh
shaft. The motion is regulated by
valve and cutoff, so adjusted that py
slight movement, it is thrown "off inc
CENTER" and instantly set in motion;
The bell then rings continuously unIn
checked by a similar slight movement.
1t is in constant readiness for use, steam
being "on' continually after the hrlnlg
of the engine, and is thus instantaneousIy
available in cases where it is desiraDile
to give warning. The device is easily
applied to locomotives, of whateVei
