WASHINGTON. May 23.-Representative
Walker, of Missouri, from the committee
on invalid pensions, has prepared for pre-
sanitation to the house a minority report
adverse to the bill extending the time dur
ing which claims may be allowed for ar
rears of pensions. The report states that
it will require $500, 100000 TO carry out the
the provisions of the BILL Mr.. Walker says
the BILL if passed will not only dispose OF
the surplus, but will add several hundred
millions to the burdens of nation already
weighed down by taxation. In conclusion,
he said that the American people have not
only been fair and just to the soldiers, but
have enacted pension laws with a liberty
and generosity unparalleled in any pension
legislation on earth. In behalf of the tax
paying public, a large majority of whom
are struggling TO make living, many
euen struggling to keep the wolf from the
door, he protests against the passage of
the bill

SUIT AGAINST A BoNDsMAN.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 23.-In August
last Charles E. Bartlett, cashier of the
Sumter National bank, abscOnded. He
has not been seen or heard from since.
He was first reported to have gone to
Canada and then he was alleged to have
sought refuge in Mexico. The only things
certain are that he has not come back and
that he stole enough money to break the
bank, his total stealings amounting to
about $4,000. Bartlett's bondsmen are
here, however, and they are are good for
$4,000, suit for which amount was begun
in the United States court today. Elk
Mayor Courtenay is foreman of the jury; AT
torner Genenal Earl is the leading counsel
John Phillips, receiver, appointed by the
treasury department, by whom the suit is
brought. District Attorney Shumans is
leading counsel for the plaintiff. The de-
Tense claims that that the president and
directors Of the bank had been negligent
and culpable in allowing Bartlett TO carry
on the frauds which he was shown to have
perpetrated, and that they should have ex-
amined into and used proper care in the
management of the affairs OF the bank.
Receiver Phillips testified today that he
had found the most carefully devised SyS-
TEN of fraudulent bookkeeping by the de-
faulting cashier; that figures had been
continually changed from hundreds to
thousands, and that the entire set of books
showed a determined and well carried out
effort to ruin this corporation and rob it of
the last penny. The case will not be fin
ished for several days. BARTLETT ranked

A Wonderful Scientific Calculation.
In the course OF lecture in connection
with the London Society for the Extension
of University Teaching, Sir James Paget
said science would supply the natural life of
man with wonders uncounted. He remem-
bered once hearing Mile Janotha play a
presto by Mendelssohn, and ne counted the
notes and tho time occupied She played
$685. notes in min sec. 1t seemed start
ling, but lot them look at it in the fair
amount of its wonder Every one of those
notes involved certain movements of finger.
at least two, and many of them involved ar
additional movement laterally as well as
those up and down. They also involved re
peated movements of the wrists, elbows and
arms, altogether probably not less than one
movement for each note. As there were
twenty-four notes per second, and each of
these notes involved three distinct musical
movements, that amounted TO seventy-two
movements in each second. Moreover, each
of those notes was determined by the viii TO
a chosen place, with a certain force, at Ger
tain time, and with a certain duration
Therefore there We're four distinct qualities
in each of the seventyJ.wo movements in
each second.
Such were the transmissions outward
And all those were conditional on conscious
ness of the position of each hand and each
finger before it was moved, and, while NOV
ing it, the sound of each note and the force
of each touch. Therefore there were three
conscious sensations for every note There
were seventy-two transnissions per second,
III TO and fro, and those with constant
change of quality. Let shein imagine il in
telegraph wires. And then, added TO that,
all the time the memory was remembering
each note in It's due time and place, and was
exercised in the comparison of it with Others
that came before. SO that it would be fair
TO say that there We're not less than 200 trans
missions of nerve force TO and from The
brain outward aud inward every second, and
during the whole OF that time judgment was
being exercised as to whether the music was
being played worse or better than before
and the mind was conscious Of some OF the
emotions which the music was intended to

An Assurance of Health.

Among the assurances of health afforded
us by the regular discharge OF the bodily
functions, none is more important and re-
liable than that which regularity of the
bowels gives Us. If there is any-even u
temporary interruption of this-the liver
and the stomach suffer conformity with in
active organs, and still greater mischief
ensues if relief is not speedily obtained. A
laxative, above all cavil ON the score OF
mineral composition or violent effect is
Hostetter's stomach bitters, approved by
the medical profession and most impor-
tant item of the family materia medica of
American households. 1t is botanic, pain
less IN action and if persisted in, effectual.
The stomach and liver, in no less degree
and no less promptly and thoroughly than
the bowels. are regulated and toned by it.,
and it is an admirable defence against ma
lariaT and rhumatic ailments. and a benign
remedy for kidney complaints, NERVOUSNESS

FEARFUL WRECK.
Two Trains Wrecked Near Kansas City
With Loss of Life.

KANSAS CITY, May pa disastrous
railroad wreck, followed in ten minutes
by another wreck occurred this morning
at point five miles from the city where
the Hannibal and Wabash roads run
parallel.
The accident happened about O'Clock
and resulted in the death of four men and
the injuring of three others, one of whom
will die. Last nights terrific rain had
washed away bridge over the ravine and
the first accident occurred when an east
bound Rock Island freight train was
thrown into the ditch. @. Roys-
ton, brakeman OF Edgerton
Junction, Kan, was on top OIL
one of the cars that went down into the
debris and he was crushed beyond recog-
milton. Immediately afterwards. Edward
Armstrong, a brakeman was sent ahead to
flag the Hannibal freight. He mIstook
the tracks and was walking along. the
Wabash road when Wabash freight dash
ed around the curve and instantly killed
him. The Wabash train met the same
fate as the Rock Island as the bridges were
only ten feet apart and were connected
and the heavy cars plunged
down on the wreck of the first
train. Two dead bodies were taken out
soon afterward. Neither Of them could
he recognized and it is supposed they
were traInps.
Engineer Ben Mcclellan, of the Wabash,
was badly hurt in jumping, and Ben
Norris, a negro youth, was so badly hurt
that he is expected TO die. John Snyder,
the Rock Island fireman, also suffered
slight injuries. 1t will be some time be
fore the track can be cleared. Meanwhile
both roads will use other tracks.
Later-It now appears that seven lives
were lost in the wreck. Benjamin Norris,
the negro who was fatally injured, says
that an old man and his son were in the
box car with him, and they have not yet
been accounted for. There is also said to
be another tramp buried in the ruins. One
hundred men are at work for the Rock
Island, clearing away the debris, and sixty
five are are engaged in the same work for
the Wabash.
