Sad Condition OF Mrs Abraham Lincoln.
New York dispatch says: Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln has been in this city nearly two months,
submitting to medical treatment at the hands
of DR.. Lewis A. Sayre. A Times reporter says
she has needed money to secure the proper at
tention of nurses, and the $4,000 pension
granted by congress is utterly inadequate to
supply her wants in her present condition.
Cyrus W. Field has been applied to totake in
terest in her case, and he announced recently
that he was actively exerting his influence to
secure the passage Of a bill through congress to
increase the amount Of her pension to a figure
which will render the remaining years of her
life as comfortable as her sickly condition will
permit. DR.. Sayre said to a Times reporter:
''If it were not for her Illness which may very
possibly prove incursble, even with the best
and most constant attendance. Ibelieve she
would get along on the paltry $3, 900 congress
has thrown to her, and the world would never
know from her lips, that the widow Of a man
| man was poor and in want AS it is, she is
absolutely driven to ask aid from somebody
and I believe congress is the proper place To
apply. The widow Of Abraham Lincoln should
not want for proper care during her sickness.
| The country owes it to it's honor as well as to
the memory of the dead, to provide literally
for her in this emergency.

Insane Woman Scalded to Death
A resident of st. Peter is authority for the
statement that Mrs. DR.. Magraw of St. Paul, a
lady under treatment at the Minnesota State
Hospital for Insane, managed to reach one of
the bathing rooms on Wednesday of last week
without attracting the attention of the
lady attendants in charge of the ward in which
Mrs Magraw was confined After reaching
the bath she is said to have laid down in the
tub, and turning the hot water faucet, was so
badly scalded that she died in a short time
atterward. So far as can be ascertained, no
blame whatever is attached to the attendant or
hospital authorities, as every precaution is
uniformally exercised to prevent accidents
among the harmless or violent patients, and
responsibility for the latest accidental death
in the institution cannot reasonably attach to
the attendants or mana cement.
Another StarA Reuter- Arrested.
A Washington dispatch says that Alvin O.
Buck. a star route contractor in the Boone com
bination which controls nearly thousand
small star routes, has been arrested at thb in
stance of the star route prosecutors and has
given his recognizance to appear when wanted.
The charge against him is understood to be that
he gave worthless bonds. In one case he was
declared failing contractor and in default
S26, OOO His bond was found to be worth
less. He offered to compromise at So. 900 and
the authorities assented to his proposition and
procured the approval of the postmaster gen
erai. It is supposed that Buck is wanted as
much as witness against Lilley before the
grand Jury as on account of the prospective
proceedings against himself.
