WASHINGTON, June 29.-In ve!olrg
an act today granting a pension to
Newcomb Parker, the President says: I:
Before the passage OF the bill here
with returned the Commissioner Of
Pensions, in ignorance Of the action
OF Congress, allowed his claim under
the general law. As this decision OF
the Pension Bureau entities the bene-
ficiary named to draw q pension from
the da'e Of filing his application,
which, under the provisions OF the
special bill in his favor would only
accrue from the time OF It's passage,
l am unwilling that one found worthy
TO be placed UPON the pension rolls by
the Bureau, TO which he properly ap-
piled, should be an actual loser by

4 SAD STORY.
a Yoang Woman Made Insane ny

VIscESNEs, IND, Dec. IA message
was received from indianapolis Insane
Asylum at the home of Miss Lydia Pickel
day or two ago which reveals the last
chapter of sad story. The message was
as follows: Lydia Picket is lying OF the
point of death. Come il you wish to see
her alive"
The dying girl lived in Harrodsburg,
Lawrence county. She was one of o
numerous family. She accumulated q

She learned that under the homestead
law she could secure a considerable tract
Of land with her little store Of money and

long way by stage-coach. One
night the coach was entered by several
drunken cowboys. Seeing defenceless
woman was the only occupant of the
coach, save themselves, they attacked her.
1t will never perhaps be known what
really took place in the stage-coach on
the lonely prairie that night It is only
known that the poor girl escaped froil
her prosecutors by jumping from tbs
coach. Three or four days later woman
with most of her clothes torn from hei

sit down upon it, but in such case they
would in time win much more than they
could lose and would know whom to fight
in the future.
In an article in the organ of the knights
in which the labor and Irish landlord
questions are discussed in connection
with Father McGlynp, is the following
paragraph "When the church strikes at

OH1cAao, Dec. VA duel with swords
was fought yesterday morning in Hum
boldt Park. A little before o'clock two
closed carriages entered the park through
the south entrance. Each carriage con-
tanned principal with his second and a
surgeon. They were driven TO the west
ern end of the park where they alighted
and concealed themselves behind a clump
of trees.
The arrangements being completed, the
principals each drew a shining sabre, and
the contest began. Soon both were
wounded, one received sword thrust
through the breast and his opponent was
cut across the fGce, and will probably
bear scar for some time. With this
drawing OF blood the duelists seemed
to be satisfied, for they quickly got into
their carriages which were rapidly driven
to the nearest drug store. Therethe wounds
were dressed and the duelists again got in
the carriages and were rapidly driven out
OF sight.
Circumstances point to the editor of a
pharmaceutical journal and young med
ical student as the principals. Ii is said
the cause of the affair was a dispute as TO

THE WRECKED WH1LER.
EVidence OF Her Absolute and Dxim-
inal UnseawOFthiness.

SAN FRANcIsco, Dec. 20.-Thousands Of
people visited the wreck of the wbaler
Atlantic on the ocean beach yesterday.
None Of the Is sailors still missing have
been .onnd, although the beach has been
searched for miles. The investigation
of the cause which led TO the disaster
will be interesting.
The Atlantic was a fair sample of the
vessels composing the large whaling feet
which sails out of San Francisco. She
looked as seaworthy as any of the fleet, but
as she lies on the beach here broken into
match wood i is plain that she was a
floating coffin. Tue surf on the sandy
beach beat her iuto pieces as il she had
been stuck together with glue. One
can pull the ringbolts out of her rotten
timbers. Her shattered boats show the
same criminal disregard of life. The
boards Of which they are made are of the
poorest material Mely tackled together
with tho cheapest nails, and painted over
to Iida the def SITS. A prudent man
would not select the boats for duck
hunt on pond, much less for whaling
expedition in the Arctic.
