TANNER AGAIN OyERRULED.
Secretary Bnssey Changes the "a a
Month Rating.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Assistant
Secretary Bussey to-day rendered a
decision resembling the order issued
by Commissioner Tanner abolishing
all pension ratings of 50 maalE,
and establishing rule that the sum
Of "a month should he the least
amount paid. The case is that of
Private Vaudeville, OF Vermont, a
sufferer from chronic diarrb9a. The
Secretary's report. after summing
up the case in point, continues:
at is obvious that, if it were adj
missible, rates of pension for non;
specific disabilities might be increas
ed by mere order of the Commits
sioner of Pensions, the whole SEIZED
ule of ratings for such disabilities
might be obliterated, or revolution
lied, by similar order, and as a
consequence, the grossest inequali-
ties, not to say the most fragrant in
justice, might be established in the
practice of the Pension Office. And
it may be properly added here, that
if such an order might be legitimate
ly enforced by the Commissioner in
one case, he might, by stroke of the
pen, increase and rerate all pensions
for non specific disabilities without
any restraint excepting bis own dis
erection.
THE error of the above mention
ed order, issued April rs, 1889, by
the late Commissioner DIMENSIONS is
manifest and the resembling of it
necessarily follows. 1t has neither
the color of law nor the authority of
precedent"

THE THIRD OUTRAGE.
A Shot Fired through Window of an
Ohio River Train.
State Jnnanal .

There are few scoundrels living
along the line of the Ohio River
Railroad, who are itching for a
striped suit of clothes, a cropped
head and term in the penitentiary.
A short time ago an apple was
thrown through window of a south
bound train near Belmont and Brake
man Corners was badly cut in the
face with the broken glass.
Last Monday stone was thrown
through another car window on the
same road near Padens Valley and a
lady was slightly injured.
The third outrage of that charac-
ter occurred yesterday afternoon.
As north bound train No. 4. Conduc-
ter Shafer, was running near Ora
ham station some unknown party
fred through a window of the la
dies car.
Mrs. DIR. Dorsey, of Hockingport,
Ohio, was sitting with her back to
the window, and the broken glass
struck her on the back of the neck,
but she was not hurt. Some pas
sengers thought it was a stone and
not bullet which broke the window,
but no stone could be found in the
car and the hole in the glass indi-
Gated that it had been cut with a
bullet.

votes, and John o. Pendleton 10, 15s,
a Democratic plurality of l6, for

candidates-temperance and labor.
In the Second district w. II. ii.
Flick, Republican was allotted 90
09l votes; William L. Wilson, Demo
crat, 20,469, and small number of
votes were counted for labor and pro-
hibition candidates.
The official figures as to the Third
and Fourth districts are not yet OBJ
tainable, but in both cases the Gov
ernor of West Virginia has issued a
certificate of election to the Demo
cratic claimants. Both seats are,
however, contested, and the first is

nation in such matters can judge

ton what an avalanche of labor is

tions, to be thrown by the committee
in due time upon the House.

Thank God there is but a small
fraction of the twelve and "a hal
million voters in this country whose
votes are merely merchandise. I'm
fortunately these few control many
close districts or states, but theil
total is not alarming. The real, vast
corruption of the Republican party
was in promises of public money tc
certain interests, classes and individ
uals in exchange for their votes OIL
their campaign contributions. II
was the promise of pension money to
be paid without asking questions, Of
subsidies to be given to Improbable
private enterprises, Of Treasury rul-
ings in the interest of this man or
that trade, of public land to every
speculative interest that was barred
by the laws. These are the real
corrupt and dangerous influences
utilized by the Republicans. When
ever the Republican party pays any
of these promised brides we shall
call the attention of the honest men
of the country to the fact, and when
eyer il seeks to escape payment we
shall direct the attention gifts dupes
to the treatment they have received.
We shall keep this up until the 4th
of March, 1898, delivers this coun-
try from an administration of small
good men and large rascals.-Na-
hondl Democrat.

A CHILD's SAD FATE.
Her Death Caused by Riding Merry
GO-R0und.
Uniontown Standard.

The death Of little Lucy Kefoyer is
a sad lesson to parents-warning
them that they can not too carefully
watch the sports of their children.
She expired Sunday night from the
effect of spasms caused by riding in
"hying jimmy or merry go round.
Two of these machines were located
in town last week, ones at the fair
ground and one in an open lot on
Penn street. 1t consists of ring of
wooden horses swinging around a
circle by horse or steam power. The
children for few cents could play
at circus riding and the sport was
apparently so harmless that no one
thought of prohibiting their patron
ling the machines. The little girl
who has just died, a daughter of FL
mer Kefovor Of Pittsburg street, had
been engaged in the sport a good
part Of Monday, Sept. 80, and at
night was seized with spasms. Dr. L.
5. Gaddis was SUMMONED and at
once pronounced the child's illness
to be caused BY the nervous excite

The Present Year in Railroads.

1t will be of general interest to
learn that already in this country
over $500 miles of main line track
have been laid since the year began,
and that the probabilities are that
fully 5000 miles, and perhaps more,
will have been completed before the
end of the year.
The disproportion between the
$500 miles of track laid in nine
months to the estimated 5000 or
more for the whole year, the Railwoy
Age explains thus: "The remaining
three months of the year will be
marked by the rapid laying down of
rails on numerous lines upon which
the slower preliminary work has long
been going on
1t is a notable fact that the new
construction is not confined to special
localities throughout the country,
but is in progress in almost every
State and Territory, the only excep-
tions being Vermont, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Delaware, Iowa, New
Mexico and Arizona In each of
these, however, several new roads
have been projected and some of them
will have new tracks to report by the
end of the year.
The South shows marvellous growth
and advancement in railway con-
struction, indeed the greatest ac-
tivity is south of the Mason and Dix
on's line.
In eleven Southern States the track
laid this year already aggregates
1,47S miles, or nearly As per cent. of
the total. Georgia leads the country
thus far with an addition of 23S
miles. Texas has built 1S9 miles,
Virginia 176 miles, Tennessee ITO
miles, North Carolina lat miles,
Mississippi lao and Kentucky 1877.
The new State of Washington
makes the very excellent showing of
214 miles laid on twelve lines, and
this will be very considerably in
creased before the end of the year.
So after all 1889 will not be such
an off year, but there is every prom
Use that the end of 1890 will see the
opening and construction of
more roads than for many years
previous.

Whereas, it is apparent to this

Kansas, in regard to the pension
laws, are calculated to do serious in

Army, and
Whereas, the only veterans who
are of right entitled to pension are

ability incurred in the service OF the
country as combatants are prevented

Whereas, as much real patriotism

RESOLVED, That any old soldier

THE LAW is SOUND
New York's Electrical Execution Act
Declared Constitutional-kem.
mler's Lawyer Will APP
peal-Many Homici.
des Interested.

New YORK, October 10.-A long
legal battle ended to-day at Auburn
when Judge Day filed his decision
in the case of William Kemmler,
who is under sentence of death for
wife murder. The case was ha-
beas corpus proceeding to test the
constitutionality of the electrical
execution law. Judge Day decides
that the law is constitutional, and
remands the prisoner to the custody
of Warden Durston, of Auburn pris-
on, for execution.
Courke Cochran, attorney for
Kemmler, heard the news of the
decision. first through the reports.
He said that Judge Days decision
did not end the matter by any means.
or course n County Judge would
not take the responsibility of up
setting law, he said, and for that
reason he was opposed to bringing
the case before Judge Day in the
beginning. He expected this decis-
ion, and will now appeal to the gen
eral term and to the Court of APP
peals. This was the programme
settled long ago when it was found
necessary to bring the case first be-
fore a County Judge.
Harold p. Brown, the electrician
who was appointed by the State over
a year ago to devise apparatus for
the execution of criminals, said that
the decision was a great victory.
He is confident that Mr. Cockran's
appeal won't work DR.. Woods of
the Westinghouse Company, and S.
b. Eaton, attorney for the Edison
interests, both denied today that
they had any interest whatever in
the decision.
There are dozen people in the
Tombs, however, who have an inter
est in the decision and an uncom-
fortably personal one They are
persons whom the District Attorney
will shortly bring up for trial on
charges of homicide or murder com
mitted since January |. Since Sep
tember l five persons not under SEN
tence of death have been killed ac-
cidcntally by electricity in this city
alone.

Governor Lowry and Sullivan.

FROM tine brooklyn Eagle.
The Governor sat in his easy-chair,
a spyglass in his eye HAS any
one seen 1000 men and train OF
cars go by? A pilot-train with the
bad men on, one more, and another
one still; with rattle of wheels and
clang of bell, and shrek Of the
whistle shrill? They travel not as
the flying ship, in silence and in
fear; they whoop and holler and
howl and yell for all the world to
hear. They have advertised the
place of the fight for six long weeks
or more, and | fear that / cannot
find the place till the brutal fight is
DER. Oh, rally and squander, my
men-at-arms, and look if you may
see where the three railway trains
and 5000 men have hidden away
from me-"
They rallied and squandcred,
those men alarms, they searched the
country through; and another Gov
ernor came along, and joined the
searchers too. They looked in the
clock and under the stairs, and un.
der the bed they peered,- and out in
the kitchen and everywhere, but the
trains had disappeared. They felt
in their pockets and looked in their
hats, and lowered man down the
well, but where all those sluggers
had disappeared, there wasn't any
body could tell. They asked boy
at Lowry's store, and the blind man
down by the hall, and the woman
who keeps the candy shop, but they
hadn't seen nothin' at all They
dragged the pond at Sawyer's mill,
and they questioned the tollgate
man, and all through the lot at the
back of the house, the Governor
raced and ran. But all in vain, for
wherever he looked the people he
sought we're gone: and the only
place he didn't look was where the
fight was on. And he never knew
there had been fight until week
and day, and he sent constable
after the men, 1000 miles away,
Long live the State of Massasip.
The Governor long live he, If ever
the moon should run away may he
be there to see. Should hostile
powers invade his land at some far
distant day, may he find the foe
that wastes his state before he gets
away. And great good medicine
had it been for the land of the sun
ny South, had the Governor closed
his smooth bore eyes, and looked
with his long ranged mouth.

A BRUTAL PROPOSITION.
A Movement TO Lynch One Of the Hat
field Gang, who is Dying Of
Consumption.

PIKEvrLLE, KY, Oct. Samuel
Mayhorne, one of the Hatfield Mccoy
gang, under sentence of death here,
is dying of consumption. lie cannot
sit up and the jailor has taken him
to his own home that he may die in
comfort. A movement is afoot to
lynch Mayhorne, and it is said all the
arrangements are complete, his enc
mics declaring he shall not die a
natural death. This weeks issue of
the local paper savagely denounces
the proposition as piece Of barbar-
ism, and exhorts all decent people to
see that May horne who can't pos 81
bly, live until the day set for his exc
cution, is let alone. Trouble of a
serious nature is feared.
LATER-The report that Samuel
Mayhorne, one of the Hatfield Nc
Coy gang of outlaws, is about TO be
lynched is contradicted by the
Mountain Monitor, the Pikeville
paper. 1t says he is 'siek unto
death" and has been moved to the
jailor's residence, and adds: But
persons embittered by the past. and
from hose hearts every vestiage of
human sympathy seems to have
been driven by the ghostly specters
of sorrows in the days forever gone,
object to the prisoner being kept
outside the Jail walls.
Nor has the Monitor heard of the
alleged murder of bridal couple
and the officiating minister, said to
have occurred in Pike county ten
days ago, and an account of which
was telegraphed to the newspapers
Of the north and by them dissemina-
ted though the press associations.
