Damaging Evidence Against Murderer
Birchan Given by Benwell's Brother.
WooDsTocK, Ont, Sept 24-The court
when court opened Tuesday than it was
Monday. Mrs. Birchall and her sister
occupied seats. Mrs. Birchall looks ten
years older than she did last March,
when she was prisoner at Baldwin's
boarding house at Niagara Falls. She
is very thin and pale and marks OF suf-
fering are indelibly fixed on her face
The grand jury in the case of Mrs.
Birchall yesterday reported mo bill"
on the charge against her of being ac-
cessory to the murder. Birchall came
into court with his old iaunty express
sion. He was fresh shaved, dapper look
ing and as nervy as ever.
Charles Benwell, brother of the mur-
dered man, identified the false teeth
and plate, the pencil case and ring
placed in evidence, as belonging to his
brother. He also identified the keys
found on Birchall as his brothers., and
said that with them he opened his
brothers. desk and two trunks. He iden-
titled his brothers handwriting on the
cigar case found near the body and also
all the clothes worn by the murdered
man. He said his brother was a tutor,
studied year in Switzerland, farmed a
year and half in New Zealand, then
was idle two years before coming to
America with Birchall.

VETERANS IN LUCK.
Two Blind Soldiers in New York Receive

Two Blind Soldiers in New York Receive
Fortunes in Back Pensions.
Within few days two very large
checks have been paid at the Pension
Office here to blind men whose misfor-
tune was the result of exposure and in
juries during the war. Singularly too,
each OF them was lifted from absolute
poverty to comfort by the long delayed,
but none the less welcome, bounty of
the Government.
John Niedinger became subject for
pension under the act of 1879, and for
eleven long years watched and waited for
the money that was due to him. Mean
while he became impoverished and de-
pendent apon his wife and two children
for support. A few years ago, according
to the story he told Colonel Loveland,
his family turned him adrift, and he
was forced to apply to superintendent
Blake, OF the department of outdoor re-
lief for support He was sent to the
almsh0use on Blackwell's Island. His
oft-ropeated observation that he was in
daily expectation of receiving fortune
from the Pension Bureau at Washing
ton was regarded by his keepers and as
Bociates as q hallucination, but to please
the old man, who has reached three
score years, his address was forwarded
to Colonel Loveland. Early in the pres
ent week the long dreal ed-of letter ar
rived on Black'velPs Island, bearing the
printed stamp in the upper right-hand
corner of the Pension Office here, and
when opened and read by the keepers
they were surprised to learn that a
check for 81 oGG. 81 awaited a proper

lice.
Colon, Sept. "a Three-fourths Of
this city is in ruins. A fire began at
midnight Monday and ragged until late
yesterday morning, all efforts to check
its ravages being futile. 1t finally died
out for lack of material to attack, hav-
ing reached the portions of the city
where buildings were too far apart to
facilitate the spread of the flames. Tho
shipping at the docks was saved. Ter
rible scenes of disorder marked the
progress of the confagration. Crowds
of rioters and plunderers roamed the
streets In dispensing these gangs the
police found it necessary to fire upon
them and several persons were killed.
The fire was uncomfortable from the
start and swept with wonderful rapidity
through the buildings in three direc-
tions, including the quarter devoted to
private residences. Among the many
Public buildings destroyed re the post
Office and the steamship agencies. The
guests in the hotels were panic-stricken,
but all escaped The total loss is eSti-
mated at 81, 500, coo. No lives were lost.

and stock in tradc, in another part OF
town, with the same stock and the same
amount OF work on his part he can make
Sl,500 The reason for that Is that more
people pass his score in one part of town
than the other. He makes $500 more
with the same outlay in one place than
he does in another. That $500 is made
by the people who pass up and down and
by the fact that on that account his trade
is better, and he could not make such an
opportunity himself to save his life.
Others have and do make that value,
and that is the value that should go to
the people who make it in the shape of
taxes. II man makes more money be-
cause he works harder one year than he
did the year before, or because he puts
the money he has saved into his business
and thereby increases his capital, then
that money is his because he made it.
But If he does save his money from year
to year to build house with it, then the
tax collector takes away from him part
of what he has saved by his individual
work, but il by reason of the fact that
the city has grown around him he can
make more money each year then he is
allowed to pocket that which should go
in taxes. The single tax will give to
each man what he earns and will pay
the public debts out of the value that
the people create. M. Fl. Mcdowell, in

DISPUTED POINTS

which Prevent nm Agreement on tho Tarin
Biil-The Sugar Schedule and the Duty
on Binding Twins are Stumbling Biocks.
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. The conferees
on the tariff bill did not meet Tuesday,
but the Republican conferees held two
protected conferences. The first re-
suited in nothing. The. differences be-
tween the conferees on the part of the
House and the Senate have been mar
rowed down to the sugar schedule and
binding twine just before the second
conference was held, one of the con-
ferees expressed the opinion thata COM
promise would have to be reached be-
tween the Senate and House PROPOSE
tions on both OF the disputed points. A
number of proposed compromises on
sugar were discussed in the afternoon,
but none of them were agreeable to all
OF those present A new complication
arose later in the day.
The Senators from the Western and
Northwestern States, to the number of
ten, met and agreed to protest against
the proposition to put duty on binding
twine for the purpose of etfecting a COM
promise with the House on sugar. The
statements of the Senators present at
this conference as to the effect of it are
slightly conflicting. Some of them say
that it was agreed tn at If the conferees
reported in favor of putting a duty on
binding twine, the Senators interested
would vote against the conference re-
port and refuse to allow the tariff bill to
go through the Senate while the objec-
tionable feature remained in it.
Others say that the ten Sc nators
merely entered an emphatic p otest
against the proposition. The Republic
an conferees. were in session at n late
hour last night with the avowed deter
mination Of remaining together until
some agreement is reached. The con-
ference report will not be prese nted to
the House to-day. 1t will probably take
at least twenty-four hours to prepare it
for submission to the House after it has
been agreed to. The general impression
is that Congress can not adjourn before
/ the latter part of next week and that ii
will probably not get away before oc

HE GOT A FURLOUGH.
How a Home-sIck Confederate Soldier
Fooled the Doctors.

Eoohtu thS bocbOrss
Charlie Duncan, now living in jack
son County, was n member of the Banks
County Guards, and as gallant q soldier
as ever pulled n trigger. \.
Charlie wanted furlough, and wnns-
ed it bad, but how to get it was the
question. In the battles around Rich
mond he could not even get clipped by
bullet. After the battle of Malvern
Hill had been fought, the wounded of
the company got toget ther and were put
in charge of Charlie with orders to carry
them to Richmond and got them good
quarters in the hospital.
When Charlie arrived at the hospital
with about twenty of the Banks County
Guards who had been wounded in the
fight, he saw that the surgeons were
giving every one furlough who had a
slight wound Here was hi- chance,
and he took advantage OF it. He had
got blood all over his clothing from as
sisting the wounded, and as each one
marched up and was questioned by the
surgeons, furlough for thirty or sixty
days was filled out. At last it came to
Charlie's time as he brought up the rear
of the squad, and doubling himself up
into knot and groaning terribly, said:
doctor. l am shot through the side
with minnie ball"
The surgeon asked him If he thought
he could make the trip to his home. Char
lie informed him that he was suffering
considerably, but thought that IT, he had
a sixty days furlough, he could stand
the ride home n long way. He still kept
his hands to his side and groaned pite-
ously.
A furlough was filled out and Charlie
was soon aboard the train speeding
toward the dear ones at home. He
fooled the surgeons GOOD. and after stay
ing out his furlough, came back. and
was with the gallant few at the sasren-
der. Athens (Ga.) Banner.

1t Must BE stopped.

Something will have to be done to
stop this drain. 1t has been figured out
that thirty-six American girls have with
in the last few years married impecun-
ious foreign princes, dukes and counts,
and carried away to Europe upward of
$44, 900, 900 cold, clammy cash. Nothing
is easier than to pass a general law
forbidding American girls who marry
abroad taking more than about 81 300
off with them. The government should
confscate the remainder Of their inner
itance for the benefit of educational
funds.-Nebraska State Journal.
1t was not until 1869 that Picard,
under the auspices of the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, reduced the degree to
anything like a certainty. His plan
was to connect two points by series
of triangles, thus ascertaining the
length Of the arc of q meridian inter
cepted between them, to compare it
with the difference Of ATTITUDES found
by making celestial observations. The
stations used were Melvoisine, in the
vicinity of Paris, and Sourdon, near
Amiens. While these measurements
were being made discussion arose as
to the Interpretation of them, some at-
fr1ning that they indicated probate,
others an oblate spheroid.
The former figure may be popularity
represented by lemon, the latter by
an orange. To prove which was right
Picard's observations were extended far
to the north and south, one expedition
going to Peru, the other to Lapland.
The Peruvian expedition worked nine
years on the question, the Lapland
about five. The results Of the meas
ures thus obtained confirmed the theo-
redcal expectations Of the obiate form
