The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-08-01
An Interesting Case.

George c. Chase of Montpelier en-
listed in the Third Vermont Regiment
in November, 1861. He was carefully
examined by two surgeons when he en-
tered the service and was pronounced
sound and able to perform the duties
of a soldier. He served faithfully until
July 20, 1862, when he was discharged
by reason of hernia caused by barrel
of beef rolling on to him while loading
an army wagon. He applied for apen-
sion, but not succeeding in getting one
and not being able to work, went to the
Soldiers Home at Togus, Maine. He
returned to Vermont and renewed his
application, which was rejected by Gen
eral Black in 1885, on the ground that
the hernia existed prior to enlistment.
He then appealed to the secretary of
the interior, but before decision was
made he was obliged to seek the friendly
care of the Vermont Soldiers Home at
Bennington, where he is at present.

Questions Answered.

h. B., WASHINGTON.-The rate of
pension allowed dependent father is
fixed by law at Sl2 month; therefore
you could not secure an increase even
if you are more disabled and needy
than you were when you first received
a pension.
II. p, MILTON.-The act of congress
recently passed granting widows pen
sion from the date of soldiers death,
which you request to have published in
the WATCHMAN, is not an independent
act, but section of about two lines
attached to an appropriation bill.
L. R., PORTLAND, MAINE.-You are
not entitled to pension under existing
laws, as your husband did not die from
disease contracted in the service.
Your large family and needy condition
might be considered by congress should
you petition for special act pension.
but could not under the general law.
j. H., IRAsBURGH.-the recent act
of congress allowing widows of soldiers
to receive pension from the death of
their husbands does not include widows
of soldiers who served in the war of
1872. Such widows are entitled to pen
sion from husbands death under the
original act granting pension to soldiers
and their widows on account of service
in the war of 1872.
E. S., BARRE.--The only bounty bill
passed by the present congress is one
amending the act of 1872 granting 800
bounty to men who enlisted prior to
July %, 1861, and were mustered prior
to August 6, 1861, so as to give it to all
three years men who enlisted prior to
July %, 1861, whether mustered before
or after August 6, 1861. Very few
cases will come under this amendment.
A. p, BRowNINGToN CENTER
You are entitled to the increase of pen
sion that had been granted to your hus-
band and had not been paid to him
prior to his death. The widow of a
soldier is entitled to all the pension her
husband was entitled to at the date of
his death, without regard to cause of
death. If the cause of death resulted
from disease or injury contracted while
in the United States service then the
widow is entitled to pension in her own
right while she remains his widow.

THE president, who undertook in his
veto message in the case of Mary A.
Dougherty to lecture congress and its
committees for carelessness and want of
vigilance in examining records and tes-
timony in private pension bills, showed
his own want of care when he stated
that her husband, Daniel Dougherty,
is now living in Philadelphia and is a
pensioner in his own rightfor disability
alleged to have been incurred while
serving in the Thirty-fourth New
Jersey Volunteers. Of this fact this
beneficiary has been repeatedly in
formed" The records of the pension
office show that Daniel Dougherty APP
piled for pension, but his claim was
duly rejected for want of merit and he
was never pensioned. - Congress
has passed bill giving pension to
Louisa Provost of Roxbury, widow of
Peter Provost, late of Company
b, Seventeenth Vermont Volunteers.
- d. w. Edgerley, special ex-
aminer of the pension office, is investi-
eating the claim of Almira Gordon OF
Montpelier, widow of Milton Gordon,
late of Moretown. He is also examin.
inc the case of Walter Bailey. formerly
of Moretown, who now resides in Mas.
sachusetts. The pension claim OF
the widow of Colonel F. V. Randall Of
Mortified has been ordered to be in
vestigated by special examiner of the
pension Office to ascertain the cause OF
the soldiers death.

The appeal to the secretary was dis
missed on the same grounds as the APP
plication. General Grout recently in
troduced bill in congress granting
Chase a pension. The house com
mittee on pensions overhauled the tes-
timony in the pension Office and threw
out the testimony showing that Chase
had hernia before he enlisted This ac-
ton is sustained by the testimony of DR..
M. d. Goodwin, assistant surgeon of
Chase's regiment, who had personal
knowledge of the case. The bill grant
ing the pension was passed by the house
last week without dissenting vote and
has since passed the senate.

musty and antiquated ideas. twas believed
once that consumption was incurable, and
although it has been clearly demonstrated
that it is not, thousands of old-time physi-

SHALL WOMEN BE ALLOWED TO VoTE?-,
The question of female suffrage has agltated
the tongues and pens of reformers for many
years, and good arguments have been adj
duced for and against it. Many of the
softer sex could vote intelligently and
many would vote as their husbands did
and give no thought to the merits of a
political issue. They would all vote for DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription, for they
know it is a boon to their sex. 1t is I'M
equaled for the cure of leucorrhea, alb
normal discharges, morning sickness and
the countless ills to which women are sub
ject. 1t is the only remedy for woman s

thinking only of that until he died, for
he kept saying: {" didn't get it done,

something of the story from the teacher,

he looked at those stones. The tears ran
down his cheeks, and he didn't try to
stop them, either.
( He made neat little speech after we
had set the stone and told the scholars
how the little fellow had loved and
worked for his mother, and how he had
denied himself to put up this little
stone to her memory. He told them
that the little fellow loved the Savior,

LUCKY HOME RUN
Enables ST. Paul to Pull Out a
Close Game.

The st. Paul and Chicago teams had a
lot of fun pounding the ball around
yesterday afternoon, the former getting
its hits well together and winning in
consequence. Cady's wildness in the
early part of the game gave st. Paul
three runs, and Earle'S muffed third
strike permitted Chicago to tally once.
Brynan's pitching, outside of the fifth
and sixth innings, was very fine. In
the second he retired the side. and
in the seventh, after Turner had
opened with a two-sack drive, he
famed out Hanrahan, Rheims
and Moriarity in rapid success
sion. Reilly. Corbett and Morrissy
executed pretty double play in the
third inning. and in the sixth Murphy
throw cut off Mutton at third. Murphy
also distinguished himself in the be-
ginning of the sixth by splendid catch
of Moriarity'S fly to deep center. Nor
rissy, Earle, Reilly, Turner and Mutton
led with the bat. Carroll opened the
first inning by putting a fly into
Schoeneck's hands. Murphy popped
up nice easy ball for Rheims, who
dropped il over his head. The runner
stole second, went to third on a wild
pitch, and scored on Morrissy's double to
center. Chicago took the lead
i'll the last half of the inning. Han
rahan got in single, and Rheims
a double, one of them scoring on Earle's
mutf of Moriarity'S third strike and the
other on Schoeneck's out at left. st.
Paul tied the score in the second. Earle
made hit, stole second. went to third
on wild pitch and scored on Reilly'S
hit to left: Neither scored in the third,
and st. Paul took the lead in the fourth
Reilly got base as gift, stole second
and scored on Corbett'S hit to center,
the latter going to third Oh Moriarity's
failure to stop the ball and scoring on
Brynan'S out. In the fifth Muir
phy got life on Hengle's
tumble and Morrissey and Earle each hit
the bail over the left-field fence. In the
last half of the inning Mutton landed
the ball in safe place and Turner
pounded it far over the lattice work at
right field. In the sixth Chicago tied
the score on singles by Schoeneck. Hen
gle,and Mutton and double by Hoover.
Pickett began operations in the seventh
by placing the ball i'll a tenantless spot
in left, Earle followed suit and Reilly
won the game on long drive over the
''garden wall" The only hit made after
this by either side was Turner's double
in the last half of the seventh inning.
I'he score follows:

for eleven innings. Both pitchers were
on their mettle and both wanted to win.
Up to the fourth inning but one hit had
ten to second base. After that Klopf
let down and was hit more freely. Min
neapolis should have been shut out. but
errors by Forster and Mills, passed balls
and wild throws, with Shenkle'S wild
pitch, all at critical moments,
gave them three runs. In the
fourth inning Milwaukee broke the
Ice and made the first run of the game.
Strauss hit the ball for two bags after
two omen were out, and scored on Mask
rey'S single. A phenomenal catch of
Jevne'S prevented their making another
in the fifth. With Mills on second, Nc
Aleer knocked long line fly to left
center field, which looked like home
run, but Jevne got to it, and by his fine
catch retired the side. The home men
scored their second run in the seventh.
McCabe hit safely, went to second on
Small's tumble, got third on a base hit
by Mills and scored when the ball,
which passed Kreig on the third strike,
was thrown to first to catch McAleer.
Minneapolis made her first run in the
eighth. McCullom, after two men were
out, got base on balls, and scored on a
passed ball and Mills wild throw to
catch him at third. Milwaukee scored
one in the same inning on two hits and
SGaall's tumble. The visitors made two
III the eighth on a wild pitch, Forster's
wild throw and hits by Brosnan and
Small. Milwaukee made one in the
same inning on hit and steal each by
Strauss and Forster. McCabe's hit,

gave Milwaukee the winning run in the
eleventh inning. Score:
