years ago aud amsss fortune, as he
has every reason to believe he could.
He told me to day that bis p.actice is
growing enormously. lie has already
received 3,444 advance applications for
pensions under the new bill which Con-
gress will pass this session.
The liberal terms in which this bill
is drawn will enable practic ally every
one of the foregoing applicants to
secure bis pension, and as each appli-
cation to Tanner is accompanied by a
Zee of $40, it will be seen that the
"Corporal's' half years income from
this source alone will not iall far short
of $4,000.
n addition to the foregoing there
have been filed with Mr.. Tanner $500
applications to date for pensions under
the current law, and as from sixty. five
to seventy-five per cent of such claims
are usually allowed, the receipts from
this quarter will swell his earnings
about $500 more. At this rate MI
Tanners income will somewhat exceed
100000 year, and as it Is growing
fast he expects that it will soon be
trebled or quadrupled.

the absolute truth OF the charges, and
much more equally damaging to the
Commissioner, but everybody here is
prepared to sea Rlum and his family
whitewashed. The fact is that Raum's
conduct Of the Bureau is rapidly as
suming the character Of public scan
dal. When appointed Pension Com
missioner Gen. Raum was practical
head of the firm of Green B. Rsun q
Sons, pension attorneys, the oti er
members of the firm we're Green b.
Raum, jr, aud Johu Raum; Green b.,
jr., was Immediately appointed Chief
of the Appointment Division of the
the Bureau, and John shouldered the
cares and responsibilities of the pen
sion business, Though everybody here
believes that Gen. Raum still retains
his controlling interest in the concern.
Young Raum's cases, it is ga d, are
gong through the Pension Bureau at
tremendous rate, and it is openly
charged that about all Green B IT,,
does is to go about picking them out
and having them made Especial" 1t
special every week than of any other
attorneys in the city. Whenever an
order affecting the handling of pension
| cases by attorneys is issued John Rsum
is informed in advance, and it is charg-
ed that his circulars intended to meet
the change have sometimes reached hfs
patrons before the order has been pub.
lishCd in the Pension Bureau.
The connecti m of Commissioner
Raum with concern known as the
Universal itefrigerating Company is
scand ,lJus almost beyond belief. TIE
Pension Bureau has been flooded with
circulars advertising It's stock aud
signed "Green b Raum. President
ana employees who have purchased
the stock have b en- promptly promoted
without solicitation Oh their part. 1t
is ch ,rged that man nsm-d Turner,
who subscribed Tor $3.50 wcrlh uf the
stock, was prom ted from 5000 to a |
81 400 place Within week. Seven
clerks who subscribed to the Reiriger-
ating. .Company's stock have been pro-
NOTED without other effort on their
par.
The foe Italian hand Of Mr.. George
Z. Lemon appears in Gen. Raum's
management of the Bureau. Lemon
has for some weeks been engaged in
working up sentiment in favor of the
daily consideration by the Pension
Bureau of cases lacking some detail of
evidence. For long time Raum held
out against this demand, but two
weeks ago he gave in and issued the
order which will put 100000 in
Lemons pocket Curionsly enough
three days after making the order Gen.
Raum gave the Capital Hill National
Bank his note for S25,OOO, bearing
Lemons Endorsement, aud got the
money for it.
All these facts have been known to
the President for some time, but he
has thus far ignored them. 1t remains
to be seen what Congressional Com
mittee with an active Democratic min
ority membership will do in the prem
ises.

A MILITIA SENSATION
Warrants Are Issued for the
Arrest Of a Number Of
Soldier Boys.
The Grand Jury Has Almost
Completed It's Weighty
Labops.
Chief Of Police Bracket
Makes His First Annual
Report.
Interesting Odds and Ends
Of News Of the
Day.

There was big sensation in lOca -
militia circles last night. For some
time past the boys have not been as at
tentive to the drill meetings as some of
the officers would have liked, and it is
said that on some of the nights set apart
for drilling the members of the battery
there were not enough men pres
ent to handle the guns. Notices
were sent to the members that they
were to appear regularly for drill, but
no attention was paid to them. Patience
at last ceased to be virtue, and it was
determined to adopt heroic measures.
After conference with the adJutant
general, first lieutenant and chief of
platoon, Charles G. Bennett yesterday
swore out warrants before Clerk Altnow
in the municipal court charging some
twenty or twenty-five members of
the First battery and Second platoon
which has its headquarters in Minneap-
oils, with willful neglect of duty and
desertion in falling to obey the orders of
their superior officers and not attending
the drill meetings. The warrants were
placed in the hands of Court Officer
Burns for service, and last night he no.
titled some of the alleged culprits to APP
pear before Judge Mahoney in the mu-
nicipal court at O'clock this morning.
1t is said that Adjt. Gen. John II.
McMullen has issued orders to the
local commandants to prosecute
each man who has been derelict in at
tending the meetings to the full extent
of the law. When the citizen-soldiers
looked up the law last night and discov-
cred they were liable to Imprisonment
there was considerable excitement, and
it is safe to predict that at the next
drill of the battery there will be a fair
representation of the company present
at roll-call.

POLICE COURT NOTES.
The First Ward MIDDLE Create,
Considerable Interest.

The First Ward MIDDLE Creates
Considerable Interest.
The trial of ex-Street Commissioner
John Foley, who is charged with failing
to turn over the property belonging to
his Office to his successor, drew very
different crowd into the criminal part of
the municipal court than usually takes
an interest in the proceedings before
the police judge. Aldermen and ward
politicians, with a fair sprinkIing of
property owners, lent an air of respect
ability to the audience which was truly
refreshing. The evidence produced by
the state showed that Mr.. Foley had
formerly been the street commissioner
of the First ward. but at a recent meet
ing of the council Hugh Butler was
named as his successor, and that when
he had made formal demand upon Mr..
Foley for the tools in his possession,
Mr.. Foley not only refused to turn them
over, but also refused to recognize Mr..
Butler as the street commissioner. 1t
was shown that at the request of
the council City Clerk Haney had
cast the ballot by which Mr..
Butler was elected, and Ed a. Stevens,
the counsel for the defense, claimed
that the city charter provided that the
COuuSll IluSU Ctob udlIOb, dllu UIIdU
body had no authority to delegate any
of its powers to city official. Judge
Mahoney, however, thought different,
and refused to dismiss the action on
that ground. Mr.. Stevens then moved
for a dismissal on the ground that the
council had no right under the powers
conveyed to it by the city charter to
pass the ordinance under which the
complaint had been made. Without
hearing any further argument the court
continued the case until this morning.
Mary Kennedy, Joseph Cole and Mary
Grady were before the court on the
charge OF drunkenness. They all de-
MED the facts testified to by the police.

rested in Mrs. Kennedy's house, in the
rear of the market.
''What were you doing in the houSe?"
inquired the court.
Il only went there to see her. /
heard she was poor and had nothing to
eat. and | went there to give her some
thing. l didn't have any money, and
took off my shirt and told her to sell
it and buy something" said Cole, as he
unbuttoned his coat and showed the
court he was not wearing any shirt.
"Wnat did she buy, beer?"
MO- pleau auu lnedG anu potatoes.
Perhaps, little beer"
"Pll give you all sixty days in the
wOrkhouse," remarked the court, as he
made the entry on his docket. Cole
pleaded hard to be allowed to leave
town. He will have chance after he
has served an apprenticeship at the
rockpile.
Mart Fahy, the heavy weight pugilist,
was before the court on a charge made
by his wife with threatening to kill her.
The testimony showed that it was the
old story of parental interference on the
part of the woman's family, but Mart
was compelled to give bonds to keep
the peace.
