As the south-bound train on the Santa Fe

the porter and conductor and relieved them
of their surplus cash. Then they robbed the
passengers, making quite a haul. They
jumped from the train on the Basque de

FATAL CARELESSNESS,
Two Civil Engineers Throw Away
Their Lives With Reckless Abandon.

Two Civil Engineers Throw Away
Their Lives With Reckless Abandon.
EdgarH Cooper, Of New York, and James
Herdr,an, Of Ohio, Civil Engineers, en-
ployed by the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railway Company, were in
stantly killed on the Mantle Bridge, at
East Lynn, Conn.,, few mornings ago.
The two men were employed in con-
structing the double track Of the
Shore Line and were walking along the
bridge. evidently cognizant of tho fact that
the passenger train which left New London
at I:43 was steaming down on them. The
train could be seen quarter Of q mile away.
The men evidently thought they had plenty
OF time to get out of the way. They were
struck by the pilot of the engine when near
the end of the bridge. So near were they to
the end that both bodies struck dry ground
instead of falling into the water. Both
bodies were considerably mangled. The men
were young, and it seems unaccountable that
they should have taken such risk as they
did by remaining on the bridge.

500 pudding furnaces are cut off from this
supply all private consumers will have plenty

THE PENSION FUND.
Tho Great Number Of New Certificates
Caused the Present Deficiency.

Tho Great Nunnber Of New Certificates
Caused the Present Deficiency.
WAsHINaroN, D. G., June ct is
stated at the Pension Office that the
deficiency In the amount of funds in
the hands Of the different pension
agents. which has resulted in the an
nouncemsnt that large number of
pensioners will be compelled to wait
until July LIST for the payment Of their
pensions, has boon caused by the un-
usually large number of allowances
made by the Pension Office under the
present administration, and partiou-
1arly since General Raum's term begun.
The great amount of allowances has
been largely in original GASES. There
have been Issued already 1000 more
original pensions than were Issued
during the last fiscal year, and the
Office has yet q months work before the
end of the present fiscal year.
Another drain upon the appropriation,
it is said, was the act Of March 1, 1890,
which increased to $72 per month all
pensions for total disability requiring
the aid and attendance of another per-
son. The number Of these cases is
large and involves the expenditure of
q large amount Of money. Tho pension
Office record for the present fiscal year,
it is stated, will be far ahead of that
for any fiscal year for many years.
The final payments by the pension
agents will not be completed until
about June 20, and those who have not
been paid by that time will be com
pslled to wait only a few days until the
appropriation Tor the next fiscal year
becomes available on July l.
