got his team in the stall belonging to
the others team. Elliott says that BrY-
don called him liar, and he returned
the compliment, when Brydon struck at
him with his fist. Elliott then drew his
jack-knife and cut two deep gashes on
Brydon's arm below the shoulder, one
on the wrist. and two severe cuts in the
side. Elliott was placed under arrest

here this afternoon. Some of the county
towns were not represented, and those

Capt. James Farrell, r. N. Marble and

egates on the first ballot. They are all
friendly to Rice and Wilson, and will
give either their support. Assistant
District Attorney Bissell, of New York,

Senator Whiteman, and being called

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 9.-The
president to-day returned to the house,
without his approval, five private pen
sion bills. The first two, granting pen
sions to S. A. Searey and S. A. Cosson,
were vetoed upon the ground that the
disabilities for which pension was
sought had no connection with the mil
iatry service of the soldier. The act
granting a pension to Manuel Garcia is
disapproved for want of evidence show
ing that any disability exists. The act
granting pension to Mrs. Annie But
terfield is vetoed for want of satisfac-
tory evidence that the soldier was in
the government service when killed
by an explosion, as claimed. The fifth
act granting pension to Eliza Smith,
the widow of a second lieutenant in
the Indiana regiment. The bill pro-
poses to pension the beneficiary as the
widow of first lieutenant. Deceased
was intemperate and victim of the
morphine habit, especially when suffer-
ing from his wound. The president
further says that it ''seems to him it
would establish very bad precedent to
attempt pension upon the facts de-
veloped in this case"
