The Pensioners Of the District.

A STATEMENT FROM PENSION AGENT WILSON.
The statement was published this morning
that the names of 300 pensio ers of this Dis
trict who had been Illegally drawing pensions
had been dropped from the rolls. Mr.. Sidney
L. Wilson, the pension agent of the District
states that this is an entire misapprehension of
the facts, as the names of 1Sl pensioners i'm
this District who have died since 1882 had
been dropped from the rolls IN the official
report 1t is plainly stated when death occurred
in each case, and when the last pay mcnt was
made. IN many instances the government
owes the estates OF these pensioners Tor the time
elapsing between the last payment and the
date of the death. Mr.. Wilson states that il is
impossible for widow who has married to
continue to draw u pension, as she has to bring
two reputable witnesses four times q year to
take oath that she has not married, and has To
swear to that herself. On account of these and
other precautions il is very rare that "A case is
discovered of "a person flaudulently drawing a

WHOLE CITIES DESTROYED.
Fears that the Recent Earthquake Has
Caused Appalling Destruction fm the
Vale of Casimere-Eighsy-se Lives
Lost at SeriuagVr

LONDON, June 5.-Unofiical reports OF the
earthquake i'm Cashmere are OF such an alarm
ing character as To make IT more than likely
that the catastrophe will prove even more dis
isstrous i'm its effects than the first dispatches
stated them To be. Whole cities and towns ..in
the ale are spoken OF as destroyed, and the
absence OF definite news is attributed To the
demolition OF the telegraph lines i'm the general
wreck and chaos. In consequence, the magni-
tude of the calamity ana the numbers of the
killed and wounded are left for the imagina-
ton.
An official dispatch from SerinagUr gives tho
number OF the killed and wounded by the
earthquake there on sunday and Monday last
"a follows: Killed, 81; wounded 100. The OFF,
cial reports have not been received yet from
other points in the Vale of Cashmere affected
10y the earthquake shocks. and until these come

Hewitt ct al. agt the Western Union telegraph
company and the District Commissioners. The
company were, under an agreement
with the Commissioners, engaged in changing
the location of their lines, placing some under
ground and some overhead. They erected a pole
line on 9TH street north OF New York avenue, and
Mr.. Hewitt and associates complaining that
the poles We're a nuisance injurious to prop
erty, filed a bill for an injunction, on which "A
rule was issued TO show cause why 1t should
not issue. The case was argued at considerable
length by Messrs. w. A. Cook, III. f. Davis, War
rem Z. Stone and Oscar Nauck for the complain
ants, and j. Hnbley Ashton for the telegraph
and Mr.. A. q. Riddle for the District
Judge Hagner, after a review of the alega-
tions of the bill and the objections of the de-

been presented to warrant the court i'm grant.
