Special to the SUNDAY Morning Nesrs.
NEWARK, April 8. 1s90.-Mrs. Annie
Waters, of Fulton street, this city, has
finally been granted the pension for
which she has worked SO long and earn
estly. The good news announcing the
fact was received from Washington this
morning. The claim amounts to SIS 600.
but the amount she will receive is not
stated.
Mrs. Waters application was made
after the death of her husband, about ten
years ago. 1t has been handled by all the
Pension Commissioners since then. but
presumably to no avail.
Mrs. Waters worked the entire case
herself, appearing undaunted before each
successive Pension Commissioner. Her
husband, Henry w. Waters, enlisted in
the late war; and the injuries received
there incapacitated him for business
afterwards. The announcement OF Mrs.
Waters success will be joyfully greeted
by many who have admired her brave
fight.
