Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WABASH, July 1S.-Much surprise was created
here to-day by the arrest of Joseph Fosbury, a
barber, vino had always borne good reputation.
Fosbury is charged with impersonating an officer
and extorting money. A few days since Peter
Hawk, blacksmith from Laketon, came to
town and fell in with William Tower anG. Joe
Dunfee, two rough characters who acted as Eos
bury's confederates The two succeeded in get
ting Hawk drunk when Fosbury came up, and,
personating deputy marshal, arrested the men.
He demanded money as the alternative of TAX
ing the men to Jail. and the affrighted Hawk
paid over all the cash in his pocket and departed.
Hawk today filed afi9avits against the three
men and they were arrested. They will be tried
tomorrow at 2 o'clock before the Mayor. Eos
bury claims it was all joke.

TWO PENSION CASES.
Decided Contrast In the Presidents Meth
DDS of Administering "Justice."

"A Decfue0 Contrast In the Fresiuents NA6tn
DDS of Administering "Justice."
Boston Journal.
Representative Haynes, of New Hampshire,
who is a member of the conn ittee on pensions,
has presented the facts in two pension bills,
which are worth repeating. Mrs. Bradley, aged
seventy, is the widow of soldier who was dan
gerously wounded but, recovering, was receiving
pension of ST. per month when he died. The
woman's husband and four sons enlisted at the
outbreak of the war. Two of the sons were
killed, another lost an arm and the fourth an
eve in the service. Being without the means OF
support. and in destitute condition. she applied
for pension. but her application was refused by
the Pension Bureau because it was not shown
that her husband died in consequence of the
wounds for which he received pension. This
decision was in accordance with the law. which
the bureau must regard. She then applied to
Congress, which has equity powers, and that
body passed bill giving her So per month,
which would have kept the aged woman from
being obliged to call for public charity. This
bill the President vetoed with the curt remark
that it presented the question whether gift
In such case is proper disposition of money
appropriated for the purpose of paying pen
sions."
The other case was that of Mrs. Hardie, widow
Of the late General Hardie, who held the rank or
colonel in the regular army at the time of his
death. She applied for an increase of her pen
sion of $50 per month, which had been granted
her by Congress- because she could not secure
one under the general pension laws, as her hus-
band did not die of disability incurred in the
service. In several Congresses she has been an
applicant for increase, having Economist
Randall and other leading Congressman to help
her. This influence was enabled to get q
bill through Congress increasing her pen
sion to $50 per month, Mr.. Randall making
special effort to get it enacted When the
bill in aid of the widow Of General Hunter
had been vetoed, the friends of Mrs. Harce be-
came alarmed and went to the President in her
behalf. and not in vain, it was returned with
his approval. One OF Mrs. Hardies sons is in
the regular army and another has cerkshlp
worth 81, 600 a year. She had a pension of $50
a month, and now it has been increased to $50,
and this in spite of the Presidents rule that
pensions should not be gifts. The woman who
lost two sons in battle, and had two others
manned is turned away by the President because
she asks for "gift." She was the widow Of an
enlisted man, and had no friends in court. The
widow who already had pension, and who is
not in needy circumstances. is favored by the
President with an increase because she has pow
erful friends. But where does the justice OF the
thing come in?

ROCHESTER. July 18.-While Mr. L. Bowman

engaged in setting posts. he was greatly sur
prised to see q post with which he was pack
disappear from sight. He stood looking at the
spot for some minutes before he recovered from
his surprise, when he took his spade and dug
down, with the intention of discovering where
the seemingly bewitched post had disappeared
to- The hole was soon enlarged, and cave was
disclosed to his view. He procured ladder and
a lantern, and descended into the cave. The
hair of the inquisitive Mr. Bowman stood on
end, as gathered around on the ground were the
forms of twelve men, while part of thirteenth
leaned up against the side of the cavern, one
hand outstretched as if earnestly addressing his
twelve comrades. BY the rays of the light from
the lantern Mr.. Bowman saw that there was no
ined the bodies, and found them to be petrifed.
He soon made his exit and spread the news. and
up to present writing hundreds of persons have
visited the spot. All pronounced the most won
derful sight they have ever seen. Mr.. Bowman
is placing stairway from the ground above into
the cave, which is to be kept lighted, and it is
his intention to charge admittance. E'he cave is
about twenty feet square and about nine feet
deep. Much speculation is being engaged in
about the strange discovery. and excitement is
running high in the neghborhood of Akron.

Mr. Beck moved to refer the bill to the COM
mittee on finance. It was, he said, a tax bill,
beyond all controversy, and as such should. I'M
der the rules of the Senate, be considered by the
committee finance. 1t dealt with internal
taxation and changed the tariff laws. There
was no report from the committee on agriculture,
but the magnitude of the bill was set forth in q
report by its friends in the other house. In this
report it was stated that about two hundred
million pounds of spurious and imitation COM
pounds manufactured annually. This
amount, If taxed as proposed. would produce a
revenue of $i0,00O.00O, or, if the quantity ex-
ported was large, possibly SIS, 000,0 900. There
was now surplus revenue of $96, 100000. and
here was proposition that would add $40 600. 900
or $15, 000,0 900 more to that surplus. And yet
without any report, 1t was proposed to pass
this bill, while it apparent that
every additional dollar of taxation i'm
posed was only adding that much more, not
only to the burdens of taxpayers, but to the
smbarrassments of the Treasury. Surely, in
that condition OF things. it was but fair that the
finance committee which had to deal with in
ternal taxes and tariff taxes should consider the
measure; and if this motion were rejected, it
would show that there was an intention to push
the bill through against all presidents. If this
additional taxation were to be imposed then
salt, coal, anilne dyes. and dozen other things
should be put on the free list The whole ques-
ton should be opened up All inequalities in
the tariff should be adjusted, and the tax should
be removed from tobacco.

effort to use the power of the government I'M

whole thing
Mr. Edmunds said that to send the bill to the

feat for this session

ised to report back the bill against railroad at
