A Terrible Battle.

New York, April lG.-CharIes Pres
ton, son of the Haytien minister who
represents LeRitime's government in
New York, has just returned from the
seat of war in Hayti. He brought Port
au Prince news to April 4. Gen. St.
Fleur Paul of Legitime's army cap
tured Lartibonitc and was threatening
Gonaives and st. Mare. Seven hun
dred refugees came to him for protection.
The capture of Hippolyte's stronghold,
Dessallines, is thus officially described:
At 6 o'clock IN the morning Gen.
Dardignac attacked the formidable ram
parts near Passe-a-Roche, two miles
from Dessalines. After a terrible fight,
lasting four hours, he dislodged the enemy.
Legitime's forces left twenty wounded
and five dead; among the latter was Gen.
Bayard. At u o'clock a division of
Gen. Dardignac's was at the doors of
Dessalines, awaiting the division of
Gen. Ninet, in order to continue opera
tons. That division, after a terrible
conflict, arrived at l o'clock and at 4
O'Clock the enemy left the stronghold and
the divisions entered the ~impreguabie
fortress of Dessalines. These two days
cost the rebels tortV-four dead, 1872
wounded and lO3 prisoners. This result
is regarded as decisive in favor of Legi-
time.

a Life Made Miserable

By dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living.
A caprlcious appetite, heartburn, puzzling
nervous symptoms, increased action of
the heart after eating, sinking in the
abdomen between meals, and fatulence
after, are among the successive inlicid of
this harrassing complaint. Two things
only are needful for its removal. A re-
sort to Hostetter's stomach bitters, and
persistence in its use. These remedial
measures being adopted, a cure is certain.
Taken Immediately before or after
meals, this great stomachic promotes Sc.
erosion of the gastric Juice, the natural
solvent of the food. The nervous and
bilious symptoms consequent upon chronic
Indigestion disappear, as the complaint
gradually yields to the corrective and in
MIGRATING influence of the bitters. Ap.
petite returns, sleep becomes more re-
freshing, and as a sequence, the body is
efficiently nourished, muscular power in
c,reases, and the mind grows sanguine.
Use the Bitters for chills and fever, and
rheumatism.

Out by the Legislature.

ST. PAUL. April 16.-The street car
strike in st. Paul has reached the legis-
lature and was acted upon by that body
this afternoon, the City Railway company
being knocked out in the first round.
This is the fourth day Of the strike and no
attempt has been made to start the cars.
or otherwise to accommodate the public.
The legislature probably acted more
promptly than it would otherwise have
done. The matter came up in the shape
of a bill, by Willrich, which repeats the
previous act validating the old ordinance,
giving the st. Paul City Railway company
exclusive privileges in the streets of this
city, and the bill passed by a vote OF &c to
l6. The effect of this legislation, which
will probably pass the senate, is TO throw
open the matter of exclusive right to the
streets and leave the decision to the

New YORK, April lot is expected
that the department of public works will
some time to day proceed 10 emove the
overhead telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires to force compliance with the
law requiring them to be laid under
ground. There will be no electric lights
in the streets or buildings to night. Up

waiting for an order from the mayor to
begin work. About 10 o'clock Mayor
Grants secretary received a certified copy
of Judge Wallace's order dissolying the
injunction procured by the Western

was sent to the department of public

Fourteenth street and Union Square were
being cut down; hundreds of people were
gathered to witness the novel sight. Two
gangs, one on each side of the street, at

be ready for any emergency.
The work of cutting down telegraph
poles was continued until nightfall and
will be resumed again early tomorrow.
The only poles left standing were those
which hold the department wires. These
will all be removed by that department
this week. Electric. light, telegraph and
telephone people are helpless and say they
can only grin and bear it.

ST. LOUIS, April 16.-The latest news
from the border is to the effect that troops
are being withdrawn from the neighbor-
hood of Caldwell and other points on the
Kansas line, and the boomers are rapidly
getting ready to cross the Cherokee out

While Going to Bed.
Decrease in the Earnings of
the Union Pacific Railroad.
Hayti's Army Fights for two
Days With Terrible Results.
Important Pension Decision.

DCClElohs
WASHINGTON, April l6.-Assistant
Secretary Bussey to-day rendered three
pension decisions in which is involved the
important question of when a soldier may
and when he nav not be considered in
the line of duty. The first case is that Of
w. II. Brokenshaw, late of Co. ii, 29th
Michigan volunteers, who applied for in
valid pension. The basis of his claim was
an injury 70 the left side incurred in the
service at jackson, Mich, said injury
having been caused by three soldiers
jumping on the claimant while he was
climbing into his berth, crushing the ribs
OF his left side Just below the heart.
The claim was rejected by Commissioner
Black on the ground hat the claimant
was not Injured in line of duty" Assist
ant Secretary Bussey in his decision to
day overruled the former decision and d.
reefs that Brokenshaw's name be placed
on the pension rolls, rating his disability
in accordance with the law. Another
case is hat of @. III. Sedgwick, late mid
shipman of the United States ship San
tee and United States ship "Constitu
ton. The claimant IN this case was 10
lured by a kick from a comrade on board
ship; he was at the time, to use his own
language Inviting and teasing his
comrade, who, becoming incensed there
at, administered to him a kick, from
which his disability resulted.
The assistant secretary in this case sus-
tanned the former decision, rejecting the
application. and adds: Here it is appar-
ent that the claimant not only contributed
directly to produce the cause of his inju-
ry, but he was engaged at the time in a
manner that was manifestly in violation
of the rules and regulations of the service
and subyersive to discipline" The third
case is that of Elizabeth Hull. widow of
VIM. Hull, a soldier who died in the mil
itary prison at Nashville of inflammation
pleura, contracted in prison. The soldier,
it appears from evidence, was arrested
and confined in prison for being absent
from his company and regiment without
permission. In this case Bussey says:
80 entitle the widow to pension, the
wound, injury or disease which caused
the husbands death must have been con-
tracted with compliance by him with the
requirements of military duty; such con-
nection between the fatal disease and ser
vice did not exist in this case The for
mer decision is adhered to.
