FROM THE CITY BY THE POTOMAC.
Fifteen Thousand Dollars In One
Lump In Pension Arrears:
Assistant Secretary Bussey Revokes
Decision Denying a Pension.
The Attorney General Greatly Pleased
With His New Associates.

WASHINGTON, May pa certificate for a
pension today was granted Philip Flood, fer
merly a private in Company E., 42d Ohio
Volunteer Infantry. The amount Of arrears
allowed by the pension Office is S14,2 ,2S9, the
disability dating from Nov. IA, 1862 This is
the largest first payment on record in the
pension Office.
Assistant Secretary Bussey today rendered
a decision in the pension case of Henrietta
Brown, widow of Charles +. Brown, late of
Company E., 1st Connecticut Cavalry. The
deceased soldier was pensioned for S24 per
month for the loss of a leg by amputation.
He died Jan. 9TH. 1885. the immediate cause
of his death being 'disease Of the heart"
His widow applied for a pension on the
ground that the disease was the result of the
amputation Of his leg, necessitated by disa-
bility incurred in the service. The claim
was originally rejected, on the ground that
the soldiers death was not due to amputa-
tion or military service In March, 1889, the
President approved a special act granting a
pension to the widow, which she now draws.
Assistant Secretary Bussey reviews the evil
dence in the case, and finds the soldiers
death the result of the amputation. He d.
rects that the claimant be required to surren-
der the certificate under the special act, and
be placed on the pension rolls under the
general pension law.

THEIR LAST RESTING PLACE.
The Grave of the Winslow Murderer
and His Victims.

FAIRFIELD, May 29.--In the Drummond
cemetery in Winslow strange looking
monument attracts attention from passers-
by. This is the spot, says the Fairfield
Journal, that Mrs. Warren selected as her
last resting place while passing by with her
husband about two years ago, and he prem
ised her that she should be laid there when
she died. Six months from that time she
was dead; the coroner's jury said that she
came to her death at his hand. When the
verdict was known he told the officer who
had him in charge of his wife's request, and
made him promise If anything happened to
him his wife's wish should be respected. Ten
minutes later Warren had shot himself and
his two children, one of whom died instantly
while the other lived seven DAYS.
The husband and wife and two children
are all buried in one lot in this cemetery Sc
lected by the wife so long before. The monu-
ment is as odd as the tragic death of those
Who lie beneath it. A marble shaft three
feet or more tall, bears ON each of its four
sides the date OF the birth and death Of one
OF the four persons. These inscriptions are
put on in the shape of dial, and at dis
tance they look like the face of clock. The
dlals are sunken into the shaft, thus looking
more clock like. Supported by four pillars
OF red granite, highly polished, is a very or
namental piece of marble as top piece to

LONDON. May 29.-Maurice Healy, mem
ber of Parliament for Cork, was a witness
before the Parnell Commission today. He
admitted that the Cork branch of the
League had received applications from 9TH
er branches for lists of merchants who were
members of the League, in order that other
merchants might be boycotted. Mr.. Healy
held that 1t was legitimate to place such
pressure upon shopkeepers.
Mr.. Joseph Biggar, member Of Parliament
for West Cavan. testified that he had been a
member Of the Supreme Council of the Fe-
nian Brotherhood, but had been expelled in
1877 for advocating constitutional action. He
joined the Land League in 1879. He declared
that the meaning I the speech he made at
Cork in the spring Of 1880, in which he re-
ferred to the Anarchist Hartmann as having
imtators in Ireland, had been minunder-
stood. As a fact, he had only warned the
supporters of Whigg and his candidates that
the disgust of the people was likely to result
in the use of dynamite. He and Egan were
the trustees of the funds of the League. He
could not associate either Egan or Sheridan
with outrages.
Mr.. Biggar said he had contributed moth
ing to the Fenian funds. His object in join
ing the Brotherhood was to obtain its assist
ance In Parliamentary elections.
Sir Henry James, for the Times, cross-ex-
amined Mr.. Biggar. He did not know where
the record of money dealings Of the league
was kept, nor did he even know why he had
been ASSOCIATED with Egan as treasurer.
just before the suppression OF the Land
League most of the books were removed.
Thirty-two books had been handed to Mr..
Soames, solicitor for the Times.
Presiding Judge Hannen remarked that
this was the first time he had heard about
these hooks.
Sir Henry James said that it was a mis-
take. There were no such books in Mr..
SOames's possession.
Mr.. Biggar said that all the important
books of the League had been removed to
England. They were very bulky. He did
not know that any of the books had been
destroyed. He had not the slightest notion
of what had become of the missing docu-
ments
