during the war and have honorable discharges,
and who are or shall become disabled from
any cause not the result of disreputable con-
duct or viscious habits, and shall be de-
pendant wholly or in part on their labor or
upon pecuniary assistance from others for
comfortable support. The highest rate of
pension granted by the bill, which shall be
for total incapacity to present manual labor
shall be $50. All widows of soldiers or
sailors, who are now receiving or are entitled
to So per month shall receive Sl2 per month

cause of the death of the pensioner was due
to military or naval service.
In considering the claims of dependent
parents, the fact and cause of death, and the
fact that the soldier left no widow or minor
children having been shown as required by
Law, it shall be necessary only to show by
competent and sufficient evidence that such
dependent parent or parents 10 without other
present means of support than their own

as may be found to be entitled to SS under
the laws shall receive in lieu thereof $12

FROM THE CONFERENCE.
The Resolution on Divorce-Number OF
Stewards to be Elected.
PHILADELPHIA, May %.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2s.
At today's conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church. recommendation that
not less than two nor more than thirteen
stewards should be in each circuit, was
adopted. The report on marriage and di-
vorce recommends that divorces should not
be granted but for adultery, and any one
divorced for such reason if he be the guilty
party, cannot be married again by any min
lister of the church.
Resolutions were adopted declaring it to be
the sense of representatives of Nethodism
that it is the duty of the government without
delay to enact laws such as will depose from
the political and official power in the terrtor-
les of the United States, those who either
practice or advocate polygamy as civil or
religious rights. The report of the committee
on book concern shows the profits accrupg
in New York and its repositories to be $751;
022. In Cincinnati they were sl01, ,092, max
ing 1882, l13 as a total. In addition to this
two houses paid dividends to the annual con-
ferences amounting to S45, 900. The report
stated that the affairs of the book concern
during the past quadrennium were more
prosperous than ever before. change in
the disciplinary laws was adopted, allowing
ministers to withdraw from the conference
without losing membership in church, after
which the closing services were begun.
Bishop Willie led in prayer and Bishop Simp-
sen made a brief address. The bishop pr O.
nounced a benediction and the conference
adjourned sine die.

THE PENN RANK
Completely Ruined - Depositors in q
Sorry Plight.

PTTTsBURG. Nav IS.
No new developments are known in regard
to the Penn Bank, owing to the Presidents
illness. 1t is definitely known that the con-
Germ Is completely Quilted, and the liabilities
are increasing rapidly. Depositors will be
lucky if they get five per cent Those who
had call on the resources drew with an un-
sparing hand. The books throw very
little light on the identity of those who de-
posted with the institution. as the accounts
are in ficticious names. Capitilists like w.
II Vanderbilt are made to masquerade on
these ledgers for those getting aid in some
unknown way from the deposits. The money
shortage grows greater as the intricacies OF
the book accounts are unraveled. and from
less than s45o. 900 overdrawn it has grown to
al ,OOO, 900. 1t is believed the liabilities will
exceed $1,000, 900.
The deficiency still grows, and this eve
ming has reached 81 ,260. 900. A heavy de-
talcation is also hinted at, which reaches
nearly 81 900, 900. Msny who made deposits
Friday last threaten the bank officials with
criminal proceedings for false pretences in
obtaining money. Cashier Reiber is now un-
der police surveillance. This afternoon the
directors appointed Henry Warner. ex-county
commissioner, as assignee of the bank.

it to be true that Conkling and Grant have
expressed themselves openly in favor of
Blaine. Conkling came out positively and
emphatically, he said. without giving any
reason for his action, and Grant gave at his
reason that he felt that Logan's chances were
gone, and he had to choose between Arthur
and Blaine, and selected the latter, because
the party must put up positive and aggress-

THE TRUTH,S OPINION
Concerning the Alleged Special Honor
Paid Count Paris by the Amer.

LONDON, Nav 2S.

LONDON. May 2S.
Apropos of gossip about the alleged special
honor paid Count Paris by Levi p. Morton,
American minister at Paris, the London
Truth says: at is dangerous to touch French
conspirators. Morton likes his guests to leave
his house agreeably impressed. He thought
it best to please Orleanist guests by honoring
Count Paris pretensions to the throne. The
Orleanists present made use of this to
circulate report through France that Amer
ica admitted the sovereignty Of Count Paris.
Morton erred in inviting the active open pre-
tender to his house, but he was led into it by
American ladies unworthy of America, who
pose in Paris as leaders Of society from the
fact that they are married to idle Frenchmen
of dubois nobility.
PARIS, May 2s.
A communique 10 published in Paris papers
today which pronounces the statement untrue
that Morton gave diuner in honor of Count
Paris. He was neither present at the dinner
nor was he invited. The truth is that the
Count was present at the soiree dansatee after
the dinner, the company being made up al
most entirely of Americans.
