THE DANGER OVER.
II There Is no More Rain the Dam at
Plainfield VIII Hold.

PLANTIELD, N. j., Aug. 2.-The fears which
the people of this place entertained Of the big
dam back of the city breaking loose and letting
the mighty body Of water contained in the res
ervoir run down upon them with fatal
effect, have almost subsidized to-day. At
am, the water in the reservoir had gone
down twelve inches. A large force Of men cut
a raceway through the sluice which helped
largely to decrease the volume Of water.
II there is no more rain it is thought the dam
will hold. There has been no rain since
last night and early this morning the wind
shifted to the northwest and the clouds broke
away. Families living along Green Brook have
forsaken their homes for fear Of q repeti-
ton Of the Johnstown disaster. At 1890
the chief of police returned from the watch at
the dam and on the mountains and reported all
danger past. An examination OF the dam as
far as the circumstances would permit was
made and no breakage was discovered, although
a number OF weak spots were found at the
main outlets for the water.

Assistant Secretary Tichenor Ill.

Assistant Secretary Tichenor was taken sud-
denly i'll in his Office in the Treasury depart
ment this morning and had to be removed to
his home for treatment. He has been in bad
health for long time and has worked great
deal harder than his friends think he should
have done. Since his return from New York
he has undertaken to dispose of all the tariff
problems which have been presented since the
change of administration, and. in his debili-
tated condition, the task proved too much for
him. He came to the Office about S:15 o'clock
this morning and started in to do big days
work, but he had been at it fifteen minutes
only when he was stricken down. His princi-
pal trouble is rheumatism in an acute form,
but it is complicated with other ailments.

General Orders No. %.
The brigadier general commanding congrat-
ulates the national guard upon the results Of
their first annual encampment, and thanks the
officers and men for the cordial cooperation
which made those results possible.
In many respects the encampment was a sur
prising success. The good order which pre-
vailed and the intelligent appreciation of the
necessity Of submitting to discipline, were COM
menable.
The aptitude with which inexperienced men
and deprivations Of q first encampment
was gratifying. The eagerness with which
they sought information and the will
ingness with which they received in
struction were wonderful. The stead
mess they exhibited on dress parade and
veterans. Their observance of the forms of
military courtesy and their quick requirement
OF knowledge Of the duties Of sentinels, were
phenomenal.
The. camp was undertaken under great dis
advantages and carried out under many diff
culties. Its results will be of inestimable BEN
eht- You went into camp as citizens. You
came out Of it citizen soldiers. You have had
an experience that will make all future camps
pleasant duty.
Special praise might be given to the excel
ience and good work of certain organizations,
but 1t 10 not necessary to make invidious dis
tinctions. All are entitled to credit and all are
worthy Of commentator.

A REJECTED PENSION CLAIM.
Gen. Bussey Says Congress Can do What
Pension Officials Can't.

Assistant Secretary Bussey has affirmed q
former rejection of the pension claim
of John G. Abbott, late Of Com
pany B. third Illinois artillery. II ap-
pears that the claim was rejected by the pen
sion bureau after a special examination, for
failure of proof, and that, on appeal, that ac-
ton was affirmed by the department November
l, 1887.
The attorney in the case states that the facts
were then laid before Congress at its last ses-
sion and bill introduced to place
the claimant on the pension rolls. This
bill passed the Senate and was favorably
reported by the House committee, but in the
confusion of the last DAYS of the session failed
to pass. He thinks that under these circum-
stances the bureau Of pensions or the Depart
ment OF the Interior could reopen and allow
the claim.
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE.
The assistant secretary, in his decision, says:
IF it is meant by this that because a bill to
pension the claimant was favorably con-
sidered by Congress the claim should be al
lowed under the general laws, the attor-
ney Is In error. The inyariable condition OF
the allowance of claim under the general laws
relating to pensions Thy which alone the action
OF the department is governed) is that the
disability for which the pension is allowed
must have been contracted in the service and
in the line Of duty. The requirement OF proof
upon that point is one which the department
has no authority to waive, no matter how high
the character OF the claimant as a man and
soldier, how great his disability, or how press
ing his needs. Congress is
HAMPERED BY NO SUCH LIMITATION.
1t is subject to no restrictions in the allowance
Of pensions, except such as it chooses to i'm
pose upon ITSELF 1t may accept evidence OF
good character, faithful service, and
present suffering as sufficient
atonement for any defect in the proof as to the
origin of the disability, which the department
cannot do. 1t is thus able to remedy occasional
instances of hardship occurring under the
faithful application OF laws which are
ample for the administration Of justice in the
great majority of cases. have considered the
evidence with q view to seeing if there is any
error Of law or mistake in fact underlying the
decision Of my predecessor which would Justify
me in overriding it but can find none"

say nothing in regard to the matter, but the
possibility of the purchase OF the Kan

by an official yesterday. Should the sale be
made to the Alton it will be severe blow to
the Interstate Commerce railway association
and will hasten its demise. It will be a bitter
pill for the rivals of the Alton, whose strongest
card has been that the Alton has no line west

CONFUSION IN THE HOUSE NUMBERS


For a long time past the residents on
Boundary street between Massachusetts avenue
and s street have been troubled over the con-
fusion and Inconvenience that has been caused
by the fact that the numbers on their houses
are wrong. Boundary street extends nearly all
around the city and the houses on that street
were numbered according TO the numbered
and lettered streets both. These numbers,
they cay, are practically useless now, and as q
means out of the difficulty they suggest that
Boundary street between Massachusetts, avenue
and street be known as Hamilton place and
the houses numbered accordingly.

The Contract for Cleaning the Alleys.
Health Officer Townshend called upon the
Commissioners to-day to inquire about the con-
tract for cleaning alleys.
1t will be remembered that some time ago
when bids were invited for this work there was
but one bidder. This bid was rejected by the
Commissioners on the ground that the price
asked was too high.
The advertisement inviting proposals was
again printed and Mr.. Hodge, the old con-
tractor for the work, was the only one who
submitted bid.
The matter is still in the hands of the Com
missioners. Recently DIR. Townshend recon-
mended that the work be done by day labor as
the result was more satisfactory and not as ex-
pensive.
The old contract for cleaning alleys ran out
at the beginning of the new fiscal year, and
since that time the work has been done by day
labor.
DIR. Townshend to-day again urged the ne
cessity of immediate action. The Commits
sioners will take action next week.
