Sally Ann Bradley Grosvenor,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Rests His Case on sally AIMS Case.

asAmong the pension billie vetoed was
one granting eight dollars per month TO
Sally Ann Bradley. Her husband and
four OF her hoys were Union soldiers.
Two Of the boys were shot dead on the
battle field, another had bis arm torn of
by Q shell, and the fourth lost an eve.
Her husband was in the Oath Ohio-a
lighting regiment, as Burch Forakers
friends can tell you, and afterwards was
In the ranks OF the 18th Ohio, and fell
terribly wounded In "Pap Thomas fight
before Nashville. He lived, however,
and drew q pension until 1880, OF four
dollars q month, when worn out with
wounds and premature old age he went
TO camp upon the other shore His wife.
Sally Ann, was poor, ber boys were die
abled and could not support her, and
she wss sent TO the Infirmary. She ap-
piled for pension, but the law would
not allow it, as /, could not be proven
that, ,be old soldiers death was caused
solely by his wounds"
The above from the Netos Herald Of
last week covers the statement OF TACT
upon which Is predicated a,great deal OF
abuse OF the Preside ut because he vetoed
the bill. Thinking that the case could
not be go bad ss that, we made some in
quiries about Sally Ann Bradley OF a
gentleman who lives In Adams County,
her home, and discovered very differ
ent state OF affairs. The husbands name
Was T J. Bradley. He etoas not in the
battle of Nashville, and could not, there
fore, have fallen terribly wounded In
Pap Thomas 6ghr. He choked to
death on piece of beef sohen gorging
himself while on drunken spree, and
therefore did not GO to camp on the 9th
er shore when worn ont with wounds and
old age. So much for the old man.
There were four soDs who we're In The
service, viz: Robert, John, Carey and
James. They all came home from the
scar, 90 that two of them could not have
been shot dead on the battle field. Two
OF them, John and James, are living, so
ibst they could not have been the ones
who are said TO have bern shot dead. Or
ibe others, Robert died Of yello,p teuer in
Memphis several years after the soar
Whils Carey committed suicide 'Shcn on a
spree o few years ago at his home 10
Beptonville, Adams County, Ohio. They
we're shot dead on The battle field. Now
for the eye and arm story. John is the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11,-Acting Secre-
tary Fairchild has received a report from
Special Agent Jerome, at Tucson, Arizona,
that large number OF Cinnamon were
continually entering the United States over
the Mexican border, in violation of the law.
The custom inspectors turn them back and
do all they can to enforce the law, but with
little success. This is mainly due to the
fact that the force is too small to watch
each Chinaman who may try to enter.

Salisbury on the Irish Question.

LONDON, August 11-At the lord mayors
banquet this evening Lord Salisbury said:
"The question Of Irish independence after
the deep discussion and advocacy by the
most powerful statesmen his country has
ever seen, has been rejected emphatically
by an enormous majority OF the people
of the kingdom. Loud cheers.l 1t is not
unworthy to say that most of the
voices in favor OF separation have
been obtained by the personal influence
of that great statesman. I believe that our
opponents will eventually see that this is
England's final decision. armed with which
it is our duty to restore to Ireland that So
cial order, the loss of which is the only
just cause of its discomfort. l am con-
vinced that in such policy we shall find
the strongest support in the enormous pop
ulation Of which you are true represent
atives."

1t is stated at the war and navy depart
ments to-day that while the fighting
branches of the government are in their
customary condition of readiness for ac-
ton, offensive and defensive, the present
difficulties with Mexico are yet the exclu-
slve concern of the diplomatic branch, and
that no movements of troops or vessels
have yet been ordered with view to pos
sible warfare. At the state department it
is said there is still no reason to doubt the
amicable adjustment of the Cutting af-
fair.

The People Throughout the Burnt Dis
ss trict in Great Distress.
MINIATURES, Aug. 11.-Though the for
ests in the northern tier of counties in this
state are still ablaze, and are likely to re-
main on fire until rains quench the flames,
the danger to villages and, towns is over
unless heavy gales should again sweep
down upon them. While not over dozen
, cases of human cremation are reported, it
is believed that many backwoodsmen and
families remote from settlements cannot
possibly have escaped. The fatality to
cattle has been terrible, and hundreds Of
charred bodies lie blackened in the track
of the fire. 1t is estimated that in Calu-
met, Clark, Marathon and few adjacent
counties 500 families are rendered home
less and destitute and will suffer unless
immediate relief is sent them. Many Of
these people had narrow escapes from
death, having hidden in wells or SUP
merged themselves up to their necks in
streams with wet blankets covering their
heads until the fire passed. IN some
places the fire swooped down so
suddenly upon the people that they
barely had time to seek this method
of safety. In other places the roar of the
flames was heard and the terror stricken
people fled madly to the neighboring vii
lages and towns. The loss cannot be even
estimated. Hundreds of houses, dozens of
sawmllls and lumber camps and millions of
feet OF timber are in ashes. Acres of ripen-
ing grain were laid waste, hundreds upon
! hundreds Of cattle were burned to death.
To-night's advices are the fire is abating
considerably. ~
Along the valley division of the Chicago,
eXtinguished all flames saving the largest
cranberry marshes in that section. To-day
the suffocating clouds of smoke from the
| burning forests were borne by the north
winds down as far as Milwaukee on the
! lakes. >'.
