On one day the Senate passed five
pension bills in two hours, at
the rate OF three to five minute. More
than half OF them were reported by Saw

who has set up Il pension bureau OF his
own, with a staff of clerks, many of them
discharged employees of the pension

The Republican Senators will probably
find out that the American people want
common sense applied to the granting of
pensions as well as TO other matters.

A TIMELY WARNING.

Our dispatches contain the description
OF an extensive confagration in st. Louis,
which destroyed hall million dollars
worth OF property in very short time,
and which could not be subdued by the
tiremen until it had expended its force on
all in reach. A similar fire occurred re.
Gently in Denver, where several buildings
burned so quickly and furiously, that the
efforts of the iiremen were futile. These
cases were owing mainly to want OF
sufficient pressure in the water mans
or fire plugs, to feed the engines or throw
hose streams high enough TO do any
good, and for the further reason the pres.
ent drouth had rendered everything as in
fiamable rs tinder These cases should
be warning to our city authorities, for
in case of an extensive fire here, the
usual trust in the distance between
houses would avail nothing, rs shower
OF heavy sparks would ignite any build
ing in the city. Beside careful husband
ing OF the water supply, all the appar-
atus in the city, including water plugs,
should be tested occasionally, and such
rules enforced as would at all times in
sure full head OF water in the latter
These little matters seem never 10 strike

large city, until ii Is too late, and in the
ST. Louis case ii is proven that a lack OF

caused the loss OF 100000 worth OF
property. The escape so far, from large
fires in this city, should not lull the peo.
pie into a careless and false security, for
a few moments thought given to the

This seems fair and reasonable enough,
provided the arms and neck are up to

another and holder view, and asserts
as sanitary measure, that if ladies
cannot reconcile themselves to such
stringent measures as draping all their
charms, the display of the lower limbs
would be less injurious. The Times

A woman has written an able arti-
Gle to the National View in which she
presents in strong and able terms the
reasons why the projected ship railway
from ocean to ocean, across the 18TH
mus of Tehauntepec, becomes an en-
terprise of vast Import to the world,
and why it should receive the early
and favorable consideration of our
government. The Isthmus of Te-
hauntepec, she observes, now forms
the great central barrier TO the worlds
commerce and in the progress of COM
mercial event., this barrier will be
overcome by some government, event
ually and it must be clear TO every in
telligent mind that the United States
government should have a dominating
influence in shaping and controlling
an event fraught with such vast con-
sequence to this country. This bright
woman illustrates her article with
plates, showing in what manner Te-
hauntepec is the great central barrier
to the commerce of the world, ETC.,
and otherwise digs deep into the
question. The article is of two-fold
value. First, because it clearly shows
the need of the enterprise, and second,
because it teaches the fact that there
are women in this world who can not
only comprehend vast national pro-
jects, but make suggestions toward
carrying them out, which are the di-
rect product of study, research and
ability.

The Springfield Leader thanks God
that the Graham-Malloy, murderers,
harlots, forgers and reformers are not
sons and daughters of Missouri. They
came from the moral north, and i'm.
mediately from Kansas. 1t has not
been very long since Kansas had a
rich, rare and racy specimen from the
"moral south" tried within her bor-
ders, but instead of thanking God
that she was not daughter" Kan
sas rather mourned over the fact, and
made a great effort to adopt her. 1t
really looks after all as if Kansas had
more magnanimity than our own

ems. The circumstances were as fol-
lows: Shortly after the death of Mrs.
Morgan Mr.. Walters offered the ad-
ministrstors of the estate $4,000 for
the vase and it was accepted. The
article was put up at auction merely
as formality, the administrators sup
posing that the first bid of $40, 900
would easily secure it. The competi-
tors which unexpectedly ensued sur
prised the administrators, but they
were none the less compelled by their
agreement to secure this vase for him,
and it cost them just $4,000 to do it.
Thus the matter Is settled and the art
cranks all over the country who have
been dying to know the name of the
man who would pay $4,000 for a
vase, not foot in hight and cracked
at tha', can now rest satisfied.

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, July It's, B. Elkins has
come back from Deer Park, where his fam
lily is spending the summer. and has taken
his old quarters at the Hoffman house.
Whenever he opens his Hoffman house
rooms the boys understand that there is
politics on foot. 1t was here, previous to
the national convention, that he planned
the Blaine campaign III 1884. and from here
that he managed that disastrous affair after
the nomination, with his father-in-law. eX-
Senator Henry G. Davis of West Virginia.
He is building line of railroad thirty miles
long from Piedmont to Cumberland to con-
meet the West Virginia Central railroad with
the Pennsylvania system. 1t has hitherto
been solely dependent on the Baltimore d
Ohio. At the same time Elkins is building
himself fine house at Davis. little station
on the West Virginia road in West Vir-
ginia, just over the mountain from Deer
Park. where he has fine cottage,
but which is in Maryland. The con
struetion of this house gives color to the
story that he would like to be United States
senator from West Virginia. There has
recently been much agitation on this Ques-
ton in that state. There is no doubt that
with his father-in-laW'S assistance among
the Democrats, Elkins could control the
legislature, and he has been actively at
work upon this line for long time His
principal antagonist is Gen. Nathan Golf.
at present member of congress. Gen. Golf
is an old West Virginian, and very wealthy,
but the friends of Elkins rely on the fact
that he has put 500 in the development of
West Virginia and her railroads and mines,
where Golf has not put in a penny, to give
him the prize if the legislature should be
Republican. Senator Camden. who will re-
pany, but they are in no condition to make

TWO HUSBANDS DESERTED,
And They Have Brought Suits for
Diy0rce Therefor.

Divorce Therefor.
An attorney submitted before Judge
Simons, at the special term yesterday aft
ernoon, papers for divorce. There
seemed to be an effort to make the case as
little public as possible, thus throwing a
sort of sensational mystery over it. 1t was
ascertained that suit had been brought by
DR.. Theodore II. johnson. who came to
this city from Olney, ILL.,, not long ago.
against his wife, who, as he alleges, de-
serted him in October, 1881. They were
married in 1676--the second wedding for her.
He is SO years old and she 40. In the
evidence no reason for her deserving him
was produced, save that he did not please
her. The courtroom was crowded with
witnesses, both ladies and gentlemen.
Among Others who were sworn were Mr..
and Mrs. William Thorn, Mrs. Ole Camp
bell and Mrs. John Campbell. Mrs. john
son still lives in Olney. Judge Simons
took the case under advisement.
Ella Halter, a young woman, bringing
along her brother as witness, sues her
husband, Kester, for divorce On the ground
of cruelty, improvidence and neglect. She
SAYS, further, that he told her he had COM
mitted adultery with one Katie Bell and
other women, and that he frequently
told her that he would marry this
Katie Bell, who, he said, had
SOCIAL he wanted-and he would go to
Canada to get married with her, if neces-
sary. The wife also alleges that her hus-
band paid frequent long visits to this
woman, almost wholly neglecting his wife.
and that he made proposition to his wife
asking her to go to Montana, or Minnesota,
become prostitute. make money by that
business, and return to him with it in two
years. The parties were living in Galena.
Mrs Halter became Disguised with hel
husband two years ago and left him to re-
turn to her home in this state. They were
married in 1880.

mitted.
