LATEST PENSION DECISION.
Second Wife of Deceased Soldier Has Ap-
plication Granted,

Second Wife of Deceased Soldier Has APP
plication Granted.
WASHINGTON, October 19.-Assistant
Secretary Bussey has decided the case of
Mollie H., widow of John M. Rich, de-
ceased, late of Company D, Independent
Battery, Pennsylvania Light Artillery. The
circumstances of this case are peculiar. The
record shows that on June 13, 1868, Rich
filed declaration for pension, alleging as
basis therefor that during his military
service at Falmouth, Va, about De-
cember 1, 1862, he contracted disease
of the spine and kidneys. 1t is
shown that the soldier, who had
become deaf and raving maniac, died In
the insane asylum in Shelby county, Tenn,
August 81, 1886, of the results OF said
troubles or brain disease. That the dis
ability was pensionable there seems to be no
doubt.
1t appears from the testimony that
the soldier was married some time after he
returned from the army, and lived with his
wife until some time in 1871, when she left
him. Afterward the couple lived together
for some months, when she again left him.
1t is shown that for some time he travelled
about the country until 1877. when he was
again married. In the meantime he had
written to his friends that he had obtained
divorce. His first wife. believing that he
had done SO, married second time, and the
children are living, the result of this mar
riage. The claim ant is unable to prove the
existence of the divorce. The claim was re-
jected by the Pension Bureau on the ground
that she was not shown to be the soldiers
legal wife. and stating that the legality Of
her widowhood cannot be established, as the
former wife survives.
The Assistant Secretary decides that under
the circumstances the claimant is held to be
the soldiers lawful widow and is therefore
entitled to pension. He says in effect that
the pension bureau has no right to take any
action which assumes criminal conduct on
the part of either the claimant or the de-
ceased soldier, in the absence of any charges
against them.

The Corcoran Art School.

Let me say, with all respect and admira-
ton for other schools in America, that the
Corcoran School of Fine Art, only about
year old, the building erected and the school
endowed by the late W. W. Corcoran, has
already gained a popularity under its emf
neDt director which is bringing applica-
tions for admission from all parts of the
country. The tuition is free. Admission
depends alone on the merit of work SUBJ
mitted. The applicants identity is un-
known to the committee until after the
decision in regard to the work submitted is
made. The school is already overlooking
with pupils. and among them several Of
great promise.
III. director, Mr.. E. F. Andrews, is well
known in Pittsburg society. He was a ia
vored student under the great Ludwig
knauss, and, 1 think, the only private pu-
pil ever received by that wonderful painter
OF children. After that he painted for some
time as student, or rather more as compan-
ion of Chialava. He has just returned from
bis annual trip to Europe, where he had a
delightful visit with Chialava, Tony Rob-
ert-Fleury and other Partisan artists. Aside
from his arduous work at the Corcoran
School, he has now on an easel in bis beau
titul studio life-size portrait of Senator
VOORHEES,, which promises to be great work
OF art, as well as remarkably spirited and
expressive likeness.

building in Philadelphia. The pose is
splendid, the scene being Supposed to be the
battle of Antietam, and the horse being
modelled directly from the horse which the
General bestrode under fire. 1t is highly
successful work, of which not only the
friends of Mcclellan but every lover OF art

A CAPITAL CHANGE.
Washington No Longer Dull Between

A GOOD STORY TOLD OF HAMILTON FISH
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, October 19.-Nothing
more iorcibIy illustrates the growth of the
National Capital than the increasing life
which it exhibits during the "dull season. !"
That period, sometimes long and sometimes
short, which gotIts name years ago when
the intervals between sessions of Congress
was dull season indeed. 1t is but very
few years since the leading hotels used to
close their doors and dismiss their help very
speedily after the adjournment of Congress.
Now such an act would be suicidal. With
all their increase of numbers, every one re-
mains in full blast, with full corps of SER
wants, the register always showing fair
arrival OF guests, and the corridors only less
lively than when Congress is here and the
influx of visitors at its climax.
Let Congress be in session or out of it,
every day has its big arrival of visitors and
almost every day its excursion, which sends
its squads of curiosity-seers tramping about

time, for the crowd merely bent upon
sightseeing and social enjoyment is
noiseless one by comparison, but there
is no suggestion of dullness to US
who are sufficiently in touch with the
spirit of this unique city to recognize the

that even at that time no other city of
America furnishes such tempting, constant
and varied opportunities for a serious

HUNTING A GRANDFATHER.
The Romantic Story of frankie Wagner, of
Haughville, Ind.

The Romantic Story of frankie Wagner, of
Haughville, Ind.
The Department of Public Safety is hunt
ing for the grandfather of Miss frankie
Wagner. of Haughville, Ind, at the re-
quest of c. E. Eyster, of Indianapolis.
Eyster says that Miss Wagoner's father, the
son of a wealthy Pittsburger, visited Indiana
and married her mother against the fathers
wishes. The latter relented, however, and
invited his son and daughter-in-law to visit
him, but the young man was killed while
boarding the train from home.
The mother died and her baby daughter
was adopted by people named Wagner,
who brought her up in ignorance of her
origin, and even now refuse to tell her the
name of her father. Further, Mr.. Eyster
says, the Wagoners are attempting to orce
the girl into distasteful marriage with an
old and wealthy man. 1t is believed that
Miss Wagner would inherit a large estate
ii she can prove her identity.

A Story Concerning Hamilton Fish,

Looking at a portrait of Hamilton Fish
the other day with another scribbler, my
friend told me little story about the old
ex-Secretary which was not bad. One of
Fish's constituents was so persistent in de-
manding consular appointment that the
old gentleman finally got him appointed
consul 10 Jerusalem. The constituent was
furious at being assigned to such a place,
INDUCED in TRADE about it costing more to
get there than ne would get in his salary for
several years, and ended by demanding why
he had not been appointed to the new Jeru-
salem at once. In his blandest manner Mr..
Fish replied:
Indeed sir. would have been glad to
oblige you, and l even hinted to the Presi-
dent that 1 would like to have you sent
there, but regret to say that the United
States have not yet entered into diplomatic
relations with that country"

The CHARTERS Field Extending.

CHARTIERS-The Charters oil field is still
extending in the direction of Jacks run, with
good indications for good wells. During the
last week several good wells have been drilled
in and a good number of new rigs are under
rapid headway. Within the next ten days sew
eral new wells will be drilling. The John A.
Mckee well, on the Guthrie farm, struck the
sand this evening. This well will indicate the
course of the belt and the extent of the field,
as IL is some distance in the advance; also,
the Trimble, on the Halley farm, which has
been delayed, but will reach the sand about
Tuesday next. The McKee's Rocks. on the
Yunker, is still drilling and unable to
tell when they will reach the sand.
The Fisher. on the Spence, has started
again after being idle about a week. The Hum
phries on Town lot, is still fishing at about the
depth of 500 feet looking for the Fisher on the
Dixon in bv Tuesday. The Bear Creek Oil
Company, on the Shafer, are down about !, 100
feet and building another rig on the same farm.
The Elcho Company have on the Scully farm
three wells under headway. Patterson, on the
Wood, will soon have in three more wells.
Bryan and Zinkhan, on the Bryan farm, in the
100 foot, joining on the Togart farm, will
reach the sand by Monday. Kennedy, on the
Ian niger. will complete well next week. The
Leeman we'll on the Kitzer, through the lU0
foot. There will be quite number of wells
that will drill in next week, which will be of
great value to the field so far as new develop
ments are concerned. During the last two
weeks the production has been on the increase.
