The Fourth Ward Election Results in Sub
stantial Republican Victory.

A tie having resulted in the vote for council
man between Theodore FSmithers, Republican,
and John Lather. Democrat, at the last election,
another election was held yesterday to select a
representative from tie ward in the lower house
of the city's legislature. The greatest interest
was manifested by both parties, and "the work
ers" were on hand in force. The polling places
were crowded all day, from the moment the Vot-
ing began, and the interest in the re-
sulJ Increased as the time passed,
Harry Adams, Newt" Pattson, Roscoe
Hawkins, Sheriff Hess, Justus G. Adams,
and other prominent Republicans watched Mr..
Bmithers's interests, while the only Doolin',
James T., of the Sixteenth ward, SIN. Coy, James
M. Cropsey, and host of other Democratic poll
ticians looked out for Mr.. Lather The enemy
had large sums OF money, which they spent
freely, and for a time it looked as though they
might pull their man through. But the Repub-
lcans worked better the day wore away, and
The colored troops fought nobly, winning the day
for Mr.. Smithers. The count of the ballots re-
suited in finding a majority In his favor of 131, a
most substantial victory in view OF all the cir
cumstances. The coored vote was sOlidly Re-
publican, which does not seem to uphold the
Democratic claim that the civl-rights bill decis-
ion will drive them from the party. By Smithers's
election the Republicans acquire the full control
OF the city government in all It's branches.

Home Again.

The two North Illinolsstreet boys, Oliver
Trumoull and Winnie Smith, who ran away lit
tie more than week ago, now both home
again. Young Trumbull returned two days ago,
and Smith was brought back by his step-father,
DR.. Wands, last night. They both started for
Baltimore with the intention of going into the
theatrical business. Trumbnll has been stage
struck for some time, and went to Baltimore,
where he has relatives, and who, he thought
could get him into the profession. Smiths fancy
had lightly turned to thoughts of being a
pirate, or something similarly light and easy in
the nautical line. After thinking it over, he
concluded that a place in the box-offlce was bet
ter, and Trumbulrs influence was to help him
also in getting into the profession. At the time
the hoys went away it was said they had both
taken money of their parents. This is not quite
true. Trumbull took no money. Smith had the
purse and paid expenses Smith took about
1920. The money was kept in his room, placed
there by his mother, but the boy committed no
theft, as the money was actually his OVID. In
Baltimore the boys separated, Trumbull going
10 his relatives and Smith cutting loose for him
SELF After three or four days search by his
step-father. he has been found and brought back.
Neither OF the boys is dangerous or perverted
only trifie romantic.

THE LEG AND ARM PENSION ACT.
Provisions OF An Important Addition
to the Pension Laws.

WASHINGTON, March 1l.-Many inquiries
have already been received here concern

passed in the last days OF the session and
which is now a law, having been approved
by the President on March 3. AS the bill
passed the House last June it gave pen.

lost one arm, one hand, one leg, or one
foot or rwho suffered disability equal there.
to-" The Senate committee did not
indorse this bill, and several reports
upon il were presented. The report which
had the most We ght in the Senate was that
of Mr.. Platt, who proposed a substitute,
which was adopted. In his report having
shown that the House bill would only per-
petuate and add TO the inconsistencies now
in the pension laws, he said that he had
come to the conclusion that it would be
we'll ITO increase the pensions OF those who
are now entitled to SIS per month to $24
per month, and to those who are entitled to
$24 per month to $50 per month" His bill,
which embodied these changes, would, in
his opinion, aid about $1,000, 600 year to
the cost of the pension roll. The annual
cost Of the House bill had been estimated
at from S. O00, 900 to $50, on, 900. Mr.. Platt's
bill was passed as an amendment to the
House bill, and this amendment was agreed
to by the House.
The Act Is As Follows:
That from and after the passage of this
act all persons on the pension roll and all
persons hereafter granted a pension who,
while in the military or naval service of the
United States and in the line Of duty,
shall have lost one hand or one foot or been
totally or permanently disabled in the
same, or otherwise so disabled as to render
their incapacity TO perform manual labor
equivalent to the loss OF hand or a foot,
shall receive pension of $2i per month;
that all persons now on the pension roll
and all persons hereafter granted pen
sion who in like manner shall have
lost either an arm at or above
the elbow, or leg at or above the
knee, or shall have been otherwise so dis.
abled as TO be iCcapacitated for performing
any manual labor, but so much as TO re-
quire regular personal aid and attendance,
shall receive pension of $50 per month,
provided that nothing contained in this
act shall be construed to repeal section
1850 of the Revised Statutes Of the United
States, or 10 change the rate OF SIS per
month therein mentioned, to be proper

LITTLE Rock, ARK, March 4.-1t is con.

railway passenger train at Mulberry, one
week ago tonight, murdered conductor
Cain and wounded Lester, the brakeman,
will be captured tomorrow. There were
four in the party one Of whom, Mcdonald
by name, was captured the morning after
the crime, having been shot by one OF his
companions who mistook him in the ex.
citement for brakeman. Mcdonald, who
is in Jail at Van Buren,, betrayed himself
to day, according TO a special telegram, to
Detective Bssye, who went into the jail
pretending TO be a prisoner.
The Plan was

There are, on the average, about
1000 inmates, and about 300 deaths oc.
cur yearly. In the pauper burial ground
adjoining the institution there are about
5000 wooden crosses, which are supposed
TO mark the resting places Of five thousand
pauper dead. A general excavation alone
will show how many bodies actually lie
buried there. The Governor claims to have

The law allows the delivery to medical
colleges in Massachusetts, OF unclaimed
bodies OF the pauper dead. During the
last ten years there have been $500 deaths
at the almshouse. Very few bodies have
been claimed by friends, so the superin-
tendent says, and yet he has turned over
to the four medical colleges in the State in
the regular way only $50 bodies. But, &C
cording TO his own statement, the demand
for subjects has been far greater than he
could supply, and he has no record what
ever OF the disposition of the remaining
200 bodies. OF the bodies sent to colleges
nearly all have gone to Harvard, Che neces-
sary bond being furnished by Drs. Oliver
Wendell Holmes and Henry J. Bigelow.
In regard to the picking process, the su.
perintendent claims that it has been re-
sorted to in very few cases, and then the
preservatiye was furnished by Harvard
College. A public investigation is soon to
be beld, at which the above facts will be
brought out.

Texas Hospitality.
The Critic regales its readers with the
following story: "a few years ago Gen.
Tom Nelson, of Indiana, was down at the
Hot Springs of Arkansas whittier he went
to rid himself OF approaching symptoms OF
rheumatism. On his return home he
hauled up at Austin, Tex, while the State
Legislature was in session. Gen. Nelson,
a short number of years previous, was
Minister to Mexico, position which gives
very great prominence in Texas. Tom
did not feel any way important, however,
and so took seat in the gallery. The
Clerk OF the House, it so happened, much
to Gen. Nelson's surprise, was an old
friend, and espying him, announced TO
to Mexico, was in the gallery, and suggest
ed that he be invited to take seat beside
the Speaker. OF course it carried by
Unanimous Consent,
and Tom looked 80 much more like the
Speaker than the Speaker himself that he
ATTRACTED attention and his presence i'm.
posed decorum. The Speaker finally asked
him to address the House aud Senate, and
a royal ovation was given him on the spot.
Gen. Nelson says he has slight remem.
brance OF some minor events that occurred
prior to the ad djournment of the Texas House
of Representatives that day, but has none
whatever OF what happened twenty-four
hours subsequent. 1t was told, however,
| by friend OF his that he had heard several
| OF the Texas statesmen say that it would be
| the last time they ever undertook TO outdo
an ex minister in the matter of hospitality,
especially if they found out he had been
born and raised in Kentucky, where good
old Bourbon grows on the trees"

Coppelle officiating is in no wise sanction
ed by the Church and is declared illicit, as
Miss McCourt was married by me June
81, 1877, to William H. Doe, the latter be-
ing still alive. The Catholic Church
has always maintained with the great

self gives this all-important command. II
Father Csppelle was aware of this impedi-
ment, and nevertheless performed the cere-
mopy, he would be suspended ipso facto.
He states, however, that he was innocent
of that fact. We were shocked to learn
that eleven Catholics were present at the
marriage and never informed the officiat-

husband living. They committed griev.
Gus fault in remaining silent when every
Catholic is obliged in conscience to speak.
