The Pension Bill Beats All 9th

There has been great deal said
against the River and Harbor and Ma
val bills. They are bold and defiant
robberies; but they do not approximate
in reckless and bold and enormous

to be no check to this robbery, and it
may run into billions. Congress is full
of lawyers, and lawyers outside under
stand the trick of procuring back pay
and pensions for their clients. The San
has been the only paper thus far to
question the honesty of the Pension act.
Other papers may think it would be
lacking in patriotism and a proper rec

vation he fought, to raise any doubt in

A AFOurteen-Year- Old BOY Hangs
Himself. tiaeta -
IFrpm the Farmlngton Times

T. So =, IRON MOUNTAIN. August 4.
/ 1t Is seldom we are called upon to chroni-
Gle an incident Of such startling character as
the subject of this notice calls forth. This.
evening about half-past four O'Clock Philip,
the fourteen -year-oldsonof Mr.. C. w. South
erlinj hung himself by the neck until dead.
Just what prompted him to commit such =
rash act as this seams to be mystery. Phil,
as hewas fainiliarly called by the boys, always
seemed to be very quiet and reserved in his
manner, but there was nothing about the boy
to induce any one to suspect insanity. He
had been in the employ OF the Company for
some time past. under charge of Mr.. j. b.
Green; but just three weeks ago to day, he
having become a little careless in his work,
Mir! Green suspended him, telling him that
he might take q rest for awhile. Since then
he has been around home most of the time,
doing chores and passing the time in the best
way he could. The father told your corre-
spondent that he had noticed nothing in the
boys conduct:to lead him to belieye that he
was derangeds and that he had kind treat
ment at home all the time. fsf4ff gEl3b
This morning some of the boys, called at
his house and asked him to go blackberry
hunting with them, but he refused, telling
them that he was going to die this evening.
This passed off and no one suspected his in
tentiohs. This evening about four O'Clock
his mother left home to pay visit to neigh
Dor, and before she left told him to cut the
stove wood. He took the saw and, placing
the trussel within six feet of the corner Of
the house, proceeded to his work. Hesawed
off Sfial aho1If fxyc iy,nh la AfaY,,
and split it open once. He then took anoth-
er stick about eighteen inches long and placed
1t against the southeast corner of the house.
Then taking strap of leather about three
feet and half long, he got upon the stick
and tied it around two nails that bad been
driven in the wall, about seven feet from the
ground, to support Il clothes line. He then
took pisce of flannel about five by eight
inches and attached'it it to a pine stick In the
form of a flag, seeming to indicate in this the
railroad sign OF danger; and taking q! stick
drove it.iAto the wall over the window on the
north side OF the house. Then went back
TO where he had attached the strap ina slip
knot, adjusted it around his neck and jumped
off, suspending himself by the neck till dead.
J. Mrs. Prichett was the first to discover him,
and went up to him thinking he was alive.
She noticed the froth oozing from his mouth,
but yet had not discovered that the boy was
hanging by the neck. The alarm was given
and in minute or two Mrs. Anderson and
Mrs. Southerlin were present, but too late
nothing could be done to- save life. They
took him down, carried him into the house,
and rubbed him well with 'camphor, but all
to no effect. Your correspondents saw him
shortly after he had been laid o,it--a lifeIess
corpse. Thus ends the life OF strange boy
and the story Of strange deed. ssi tt9a

money. .Xlp .'aiil
AS an instance Of this reckless ex-
travagance we shall give a case:
An individual calling himself Jeph-
tina Jones short while ago received
back pay amounting to nearly six
Thousand dollars. and he was pleced on
the pension roll for twenty dollars n
month. This same Mr.. Jones has been
connected with the New York, Times
SINCE 1862 or 1858. He was short

years. drawing . handsome weekly sal-
ary, always in vigorous health and
without an ailmeHt, and he is there to-
day III all his pristine loveliness and
activity. T2e reader may be curious, /,
to know how Mr.. Jephtha Jones ie-o
ceived such a snug sum OF mopey, from
the Government, and was placed onthe
pension roll. Well, reader, open yoffr
ears and we will tell you. Mr.. Jsphtha
Jones, after long and laborious study,
no doubt, conceived the idea that shs :
was ruptured. He had chat with his
family physician; and thai { famiIyphV-
sician kind soul, said ayes, sJenhtha :
Jones was ruptured, and gave 'fhim. q I
certificate to that effect-tO the effect,
that Jephtha jones was ruptured. And
by the same token MIR. Jones captured

Now, the question naturally dawnso
on us, How many Jephtha Joleses are
there on the pension rollg How manly
Jephtha's are there who, by physicians'
certificates of rupture, looted the tax
paying people nut of hundreds Of thons-
ands Of dollars2 IF Jones's is the only
case of the kind, it is trifiing matter,
SO far as money is concerned; but what
will the one-armed or one-legged vet

it?-JerSey City Herald. 81 .iasst
