A Bogus Pension Agent and His At
tempts to SWindle Ex-Seldiers.
o the Editor NAr1oxAL TRrnuvE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In order that my communication of the 18th
inst, published in the last issue of The TRIB-
UNE, may be of greater benefit to my COM
rades as a warning against such impOstsrs as
this man A. e. Webb, viii give you full
description of his doings in this place. He
came to our little town or station, containing
seventeen dwelling houses, on the 18th of June
on the 2:45 train p. M, and left on the $50
train the next morning, and during that time
he collected forty-seven dollars from pensioners
and claimants. and at Hyndman, Pa, I am
told he also collected quite large sum-from
one hundred dollars up-and at other points
still greater sums. would make further in
vestigatIOn, but bad health prevents me. I am
not able to travel or leave home / was nOt
able to see this man until the morning Of his
departure, and just before he left. / did not
give him any money, but at once pronounced
MIN a fraud, and wrote Immediately to the
Commissioner, w. w. Dudley, about him. and
when he found that / opposed him he left and
has not been heard from since. Now, think
this is another reason why all ex-soldiers
should subscribe for THE TRIBUNE, for by so
doing they can keep posted and be able TO de-
teet such scoundrels as this and save their
money. They are generally pOor-sOme very
poOr-and many have been waiting for their
claims to be settled until they are like drown
ing man, and will catch at a straw We do not
blame the present Commissioner, Gen. w. W.
Dudley, with this state of things; we believe
he wants to do all he can for us in every way,
but prior TO his administration the evil was
done. The receipt of your letter of the 10Th
giving full instructions in this case is ackRowI
edged, and / have also received one from ths
Commissioner of Pensions in regard to the case

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBrNE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Your article in The TRIBUNE of June 21st
in relation to A. K. MeClure's address at Brad
ford, ON Memorial Day. has the right ring. i
am not pensioner myself, so I speak from an
impartial standpoint, and / must say that
read Mr.. McClure's address, which was pub
hshed in some of the local papers here, with q
good deal of surprise, and felt very indignant
that our Bradford comrades should be forced to
listen TO such shameful and humiliating words,
particularly ON such an occasion as Memorial
Day. Mr.. Mcclure may rest assured of one
thing, and that is that he will never get another
call TO address the Grand Army in this section.
Very truly, yours, w. III. FAIRcHILD,

"Fail In "a Reunion Poem.
[By Kate Brotcntee Sher1rood.l

Fall in, fall in, old soldiers,
The reveiile is heard,
And bivouac and picket
Are at the summons stirred
Fall in, that you may answer
The roil-call sounding clear,
And when the sergeant calls your name
Prepare to answer, Here!
Fall in, fall in, old soldiers,
And rub your sleepy eyes,
The mists of time are heavy
Around you as you rise;
The friendships on the musket sworn
Grow rusty as its lock,
Fall in once more, touch elbows,
AS in the battles shSck.
Fall in, fall in. old soldiers,
BY whatever name you bear,
If you've made the march through Georgia,
If at Richmond you were there;
II on Lookouts lofty tablets
You We writ your name III blood,
Hyou've stemmed the hosts at Franklin,
Pouring onward like flood.
Fall in, fall in, old soldiers,
You who recall the day
AT Corinth on the battlefield
The dead around you lay
When Rosecrans rode down the lines
To Fuller's old brigade
az take nay hat off in the face
OF men like these,n he said.
Fall in, fall in, old soldiers,
You who from Red Horse Bridge
Moved on to Chicxamauga
When Thomas held the ridge;
Moved on with gallant steadinesS
That day he broke away
Like lion from his covert
When he heard the battle fray.
Fall in, fall In, old soldiers,
Perchance you followed well
At Kenesaw with Harlser r.
And caught him when he fell
Perehanee you joined the wierd, mad cry
That through the army ran
Mcpherson and ReveBge!'' then smote
The foeman rear and van
Fall in, fall in, old soldiers,
A glory crowns you STILL,
For marches under Sherman,
For raids with Little Phil
Thougi+e GU swear by Grant the living,
Or by sanity Thomas dead,
Ihere are roses for each bosom,
There are laurels for each head.
Fall in, fall In, old soldiers,
Each day the ranks grow small,
Each day voice grows silent
Heard at the last rol-eall;
a comrades voice makes answer,
;. Where was heard manly shout:
Disabled in the service
AND awaits his muster-outl"
Fall in, fall in, old soldiers,
A few more flying years
The roses will be blooming
Above your lowiy biers;
The roses and the ivy
And the lonely myrtle climb
Above the sleeping millions
Plumed and knighted in their time.
Fall In, fall in, old soldiers,
And fight your battles DER.
Until above the last low bier
The wings of Freedom soar;
Stand hand to hand and heart to heart.
In Fame's eternal care,
Until the Great Reunion
unites you OVER THERE,

What Our Bradford Comrades Thought Of McClure's
Memorial Day Address.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Your excellent editorial, entitled GA Desc
Grafton of Memorial Day. in THE TRIBUNE Of
last week, has the right ring, as the ora
ton of Mcclure, delivered at Bradford, May
Both, can only be considered in one light-that
of an insult to the living and a defamation of
the dead He says: " Soon the entire list Of
pensioners will be printed ;" but it is notorious,
that whatever he predicts never happens and
what he advocates seldom comes to pass. IL
Congress orders the list posted let it be done;
and what a pleasure it viii give such men as
Beck and Mcclure to see the names of pensions
ers posted ON barn-d0ors and fences, as are the
names of horse-thieves and bank robbers. IF a
list of the names of the men who are hound
ing the soldiers were published, and their dark
deeds exposed, it would excite far more Curl
osity than the pension list. No one man in the
country talks more land proves less( about
pension frauds than he. Let him tell what he
knows about mule Frauds clothing frauds"
&C., perpetrated while the pensioners were at
the front. Fortunately. soldiers in Pennsyl-
vania pay but little attention TO his insults, for
they know the man. If this war of SANDER Is
kept up THE TRIBUNE may, sometime, be fur
nished a sensation, and the first one to howl
will be the man who hOisted the white flag as
Chambersburg, and Mr.. Mcclure knows him

In your issue of June 21st. I read, with q
great deal of interest, your remarks in refer
enee TO the address of A. 4. Mcclure on Memo
rial Day, in this place. When you say, Truly
the memorial address to which our Bradford
comrades was forced to listen, was an insult to
the memory of the very men whose services
they had assembled to commemorate" you
but speak the sentiments of every eomrade of
the g. A. r. and old soldiers, and not only
these, but the people of Bradford generally.
The idea that he should presume TO come here
TO teach Us our duties as members of the g. A.
E. Is it any wonder that the hearts of the old
soldiers were filed with righteous indignation2
Some papers in the eastern part of the State
have stated that his speech was Endorsed by
cur Post. This we deny most emphatically.
He came here as our guest; he made no charge
for his services. We entertained him to the
best of our ability, and treated him like a gen.
tleman, but it will be a long time before he viii
