WASHINGTON Note.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Gen. Raum.
commissioner of pensions, Col. Butter
field, chief of the board of reviews of
the pension office, and MI. Van Meter,
chief of the board of review, constit-
tute court whose jurisdiction is con-
fined exclusively to pension cases. AT
the sittings of this court the two asso-
bring to Presiding Justice Raum's at
tien all the more important cases that
are passed upon in the pension Office
and especially those involving the pay
ment OF large amounts of money. 1t
is said that this court does not delay
the issuance of pensions. and that
moreover, it gives General Raum, who
is made responsible for the conduct of
the Office, an opportunity to know just
exactly what is taking place. Hence
forth, the commissioner has practically
done no more than sign his name to
| certificate laid before him, unless
| some special circumstances brought the
matter more closely to his attention.
There seems to be a great deal of per-
pleXlty at the pension Office and the
| interior department as to the proper
] course to pursue toward those en-
ployeeS whose pensions were re-rated.
The commission. while investigating
| the cases, found in many instances
that the employees were unquestiOna-
bly, entitled to the increased rate of
pensions but that the method by which
the re-ratingS were secured was irreg-
| ular ard characterized by undue.
haste. AS the claims were just, it is
not thought that the pensioners will be
called upon to refund the money re-
| ceiYed.

4 New Motor.

A new motor has been invented for
a street railway which is great i'm
prOyement over many of the present
systems, although it is not claimed
that it is superior to the electric sys-
tenn, ever growing more popular. The
new motor is called the Judson and a
company has been formed at Indianap-
oils to operate it. The principal of the
revolving screw in q modified form is
used in pr0pelIinR the car. In the
middle OF the track and extending the
entire length of the line is a revolving
shaft or drum eight inches in diameter.
This is to be driven by compressed air
applied at stations along the line.
Small wheels attached to the car are
pressed upon the revolving drum. The
speed of the car and its direction are
regulated by the angle at which these
small wheels impinge upon the drum.
1t is asserted by the men who control
the invention that the roads can be
built and equipped for less than half
the cost of cable car lines; that the
speed can be instantly and accurately
regulated up to twenty-five miles per
hour; that the operation can be carried
On for three cents per mile, while cable
or horse cars cost nine TO ten cents;
that curves whose radius Is but twenty
feet, and steep hills are no obstacle
to the successful operation; that the
simplicity of the machinery and the
cheapness Of repairs 1.-THE friction
wheels being Of wood are far beyond
any other system devised The man

Miss CarIson's Testimony.

CHICAGO, Nov. latter the ship
ping clerk, delivery men and other EN-
ployes of Reville had testified, the first
Carlson, was placed on the stand. The
young woman began her testimony
very timidly. After a few questions
she became so nervous that her replies
were almost inaudible. The excitement
became intense as Mr.. Mills put the
next question. The witness then went
on to state how. on the 18th of March
while she was at the CarlSOnS, a man
came to rent the cottage which stood
near the house. He said his sister was
to keep house for him, and that he had
some furniture he wanted to move
in at once. He gave his name as Frank
Williams. Mrs. Carlson, asked the
lawyer. Do you see that stranger in
the court room now?
YeS SIR
"Win you point him out to the
jury?"
ing directly to Martin Burke.
do you mean Martin Burke, that
man?" Continued Mr.. Mills pointing
to Burke again.
YES" replied the witness and this
ended her examination.
Jonas Carlson, the owner of the
cottage, was the next witness. He
cOrTobOrated the testimony of his
daughter-in-lavr about the stranger
coming to rent the cottage. Carls n
went on to say that the stranger who
gave the name of Frank Williams, said
that he had three brothers and his sis
ter was TO come on from Baltimore to
keep house for them. The witness
said he had met and talked with O'Sul-
livan, one of the defendants. MANY
times. O'Sullivan lived in the imme-
date vicinity. At. this point a recess
was taken.

Davitt's Speech Continued.

LONDON. Oct. 3l.-Mr. Michael Da-
witt continued his speech Def re the
Parnell commission to-day. He said
that Farragher, who had been a clfrk
to the land league, but who turned in
former and testified for the Times had
been unable to prove the assertion
made by General Webster that the
league had advanced money for the
commital OF Outrages and crimes. He
denounced the publication of the alleg-
cd fac smile letters by the Times as an
attempt at n moral assassination of a
political character of a public man
which was unparalleled by the action
of any political Dartv in the history of
any country. Mr.. Davitt concluded
his speech by appealing to the court to
say that the Times had not proved its
charges against the men who were
striving to end the Anglo-Irish' ques-
ton. Sir Henry James then began his
speech in behalf of the titles.

to say that there was a great deal of
truth in what Heffer and Mills SAID
about the alleged confession of Burke
TO them. Gillette asked Burke while
in Jail If an offer of 81 900 WAS made if
he would give the whole thing away.
His reply was, II would not for &c.

ON THE WAR PATH.
Another Sensation Added to the
HatfieId-McCoy Vendetta.
The BIumfied Family Join the
Hatfield Band.
A Serious Fight Occurs Among
Train Escorts.
The Engineer and Fireman De-
fend Themselves.

MILTON, w. Va, Nov. Another
bloody chapter was added to the story
of the Hatfield-McCoy vendetta last
night by askirmish in which Mr.James
Brown was killed, ana John Blunf1eld
wounded by a detachment of the Nc
Coy party in ambush. The feud has
now assumed the aspect of a war of
determination, and the battle
which has been delayed for foFty-eight
hours may begin at any minute. The
only thing that has kept the Hatfield's
from attacking the BIcCoy's was the
strong force and the intrenched posi-
ton of the latter, and the situation is
now entirely changed. The Biumfeld
family, stung to frenzy by the wanton
butchery of Al Blumfield and his wife
have decided to join the Hatfeld'S in
an attempt to exterminate the Nc
COy's. This will give the Hatfield
leaders at least $50 armed men. Yes
terday John Blumfieid, Charles Blum
field and George Hatfield, all of them
cousins of the murdered pair. went to
Huntington and recruited about a
dozen of their relatives who
work there in the Ci nSnn
They then purchased all the rifles and
revulvers they could find in the place
securing in all about one hundred re-
peating rifles, and nearly $50 revolyerS.
This supply of war material was loaded
| upon ten wagons and they we're driven
south toward the scene of the Lincoln
county feud surrounded by a guard of
| fifteen desperate men, armed to the
teeth. No attempt was made to stop
them as the county authorities are
pOwerless.
The cavalcade was attacked at
Judges creek near the Guyancotte
river last night by Il party of McCoy's
| in ambush near the farm house of Mrs.
James Brown who was a Hatfield be-
fore she was married. The Hattielc'S
had stopped for supper, and were
eating when a vOlley was poured
through the windows. The Hat
fields were taken by surprise, but
secured their rifles and returned the
fire. 1t was pitch dark, and it is not
known if any of the Mccoy s were hurt
| as the Hatfield'S were afraid to search
in the underbrush. When Blumfield' s
men returned to the house, Mrs. Brown
lay dead upon the floor with bullet
through her neck and John Blumfeld,
| the leader of the party was found to
be wounded.
1t has been determined to call on the
governor for troops. Everyone recOg-
| nizeS, however, that the regular mill
tia can do little, for they will be ignor-
ant of the country and its thousands of
hiding places and would be shot down
from ambush. There is some talk of
| organizing a company of state rangers
modelled on the Texas plan.

Sheriff Worster and County At

last night, having in charge G. w.
Kidd who is charged with forgery. A
probate jury decided that Kidd is a
sane man, though the same jury last
year pronounced Kidd's MUD de-
ranged. Kidd's attorney applied for q
writ of habeas corpus, on those
grounds, and the writ was to be con-
sidered to day but the attorneys did
not materialize and it is a sort of fore
gone conclusion that the matter of the
writ will be dropped. Kidd
was taken before Judge Evans this
afternoon at 8 O'Clock and as we go to
press no decision has been rendered.
