Explanation from the Man Who Struck
MahOne-The Senator's Son Fined
For Carrying a Pistol.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.
The Index-Appesl today publishes a COM
munication from VIM. Long, tobacconist of
this city, that he is the man who struck Sem
ator Malone at the polls Tue sday during
disturbance there. Long states that he saw
Gen. Malone and his son, Butler, alight from
their carriage and 60 directly to the polls
At that moment a difficulty occurred about a
democratic negro voting, which caused great
confusion and threatened serious riot. At
this time pistol was drawn and held up to
the crowd as having been taken from Gen.
Malone. Long being pressed by the crowd
at this moment raised his hands to clear HIM
self of the throng, and as he did so some one
struck him violently on the right hand which
caused it to strike Gen. Malone lightly on
the face. Long says he hopes he did the
general no serious harm. He had no inten.
ton or desire to do him pereonal injury, and
as to his offer of 500 for the 'scoundrel or
assassin who struck him, he. Long. is the re-
sponsible party, and hopes this statement will
be satisfactory.
Butler Malone, son of Senator Malone,
was before the mayor in Petersburg TODAY,
to answer to a charge to carrying a concealed
weapon and drawing the same at the disturb
ances at the 18th ward on election day when
his father was struck in the face. He was
fined SIS.
The mayor took occasion to say to the
crowd in the court room that the election in
Petersburg was conducted more quietly than
there was reason to expect.

PENSION FRAUDS.
District Attorney COrkhill Preparing the
Cases to be Presented to the
Grand Jury.

District Attorney Corkhill has nearly COM
pleted number of cases of frauds upon
pension claimants tor the action of the grand
Jury He IS DESTROYS that soldiers or their
friends having copies Of circulars from fraud
ulent pension agents, or knowledge of such
attempted frauds, will at once send him full
information and to be particular to send the
number by which the claim in each case is
known at the pension office. In connection
with Mr.. Corkhill's effort letter from At
torney General Brewster to the Secretary of
the Interior is made public, in which he
says: So far as the district attorney makes
charges of crimes against the United States
he should be aided in the examination of
such cases by an officer of the pension
bureau, specially detailed for that purpose by
the commissioner. The evil set forth bv the
district attorney is a growing one and all
means that can be legally, be employed to
suppress it ought. Permit me with this to
send you the advance sheets of the second
auditors report. which discloses the fright
full condition of organized frauds against the
poor and helpless who have either served the
country themselves and live, manned and
brokon down in health or who have LETT des-
titute widows and children, all whom are
victims of these designing bad men, who
rob them of their little savings and earnings
under the color of gains. If this can be put to
an end by the Intervention by officers of the
United State; if this can be punished it ought
to be.

The cause OF the accident is somew hat un-
certain. but the most plausible theory 10 that
the heavy iron pliers supporting the roof of
the second story balcony sunk into a plank
on which they rested, thus pulling the sound
wall outward, which in turn caused the roof
of the entire wing to cave in. These COL
umns were made of large pieces of boiler
iron rolled into circular form, stove-pipe
fashion, the ioints not being bolted together.

THE MATTOCkS HEARING.
PORTLAND, Nov. 8.

PORTLAND, Nov. 8.
The cross-examination of Frederick Jones
was resumed this afternoon. He testified
that Mattocks superintended the lobster can
ming business this year and it was a success
Jones superintended it last year and it was
not much of a success. When the company
bought the S2t 900 of debenture bonds of w.
l.. Putnam they had borrowed from Mat
tocks S26, 900 of the like debentures he held
for his protection on the liabilities he
sumed In order to raise money on the de-
bentures bought of Putnam they were obliged
to have Mattocks put his name on the notes
given with them as collerstal. lie is liable
today on S24. 200 of the notes outstanding
with the bonds not delivered up, that is the
company used this to raise funds for their
own purpose. The bill states that on the
first of January, 1888, there was due from
Mattocks to the company S22,0 900, in fact
Mattocks then held $4,000 worth of the
company's note. due Immediately after
January LIST.
He also held the title to the Canton and
600 due him from the company. by agree
ment. Taking into account the debenture
bond of S26 900, borrowed from Mattocks to
use with the notes he endorsed to raise more y
for the company, for which loan he had no
security, it would change the balance from
against Mattocks to his favor. Taking also
into account the liabilities and debentures it
would make a balance of SIC, 1000 in his favor.
Msttocks claimed against the assets of J.
winslow Jones 4 Co, limited as tie account
stood on the books, about 500 900. He re-
received for services and commissions in full
for last year payment S4400. The old COM
psny paid brokers five per cent for selling,
and the new company pay half as much, q
difference to the company of Sll 200.

General Washington and Geneal Sher-
man, by curious historical coincidence.
issued their farewell orders to the army
on the same day century apart, Novem-
Der 1. 17s3-1SS3. A coincidence like
this could scarcely escape any man but an
unconscious hero like Sherman. as it
could scarcely have failed to impress a
man like Washington. awake to all the
historic proprieties of every occasion.
But the two men are all contrast 1t is
not that great century lies between. for
the two men had both seen frontier life.
both sought early soldiers career. both
LEFT it for civil life, and both walked to
middle life unaware Of greatness in store.
But there the resemblance ceases. Wash
ington was a soldier who lived in his uni
form. who kept the nice courtesy OF mill.
tary estate when barefoot sentinels tramp
ed before his tent-door. and Sherman is
said to have received in a linen buster the
call of the first captain of the age in the
proudest military capital in Europe. To
an age = century or two hence. Sherman $
letters-very nearly the best of this gen.
GRAFTON. by far the best of any American
will do more for bis fame than his bat
ties. while Washington wrote with pains
and reached at best stately and clumsy
style. As men. as soldiers and as citizens.
in peace and in war. the two men stand
wide apart in admirable qualities. and it
Is no small proof of nations youth that
. century after Washington it brought
forth Sherman, man still young at sixty
