OLYMPIA, Wash, May 31.-Dr. Charles
L. Flanagan, secretary of the State
Medical society and physician to st.
Peters hospital, whose wife recently
entered suit against him for divorce,
charging him with cruelty, and then
went to Seattle to reside, has filed his
answer. He denies all the charges made
by her as to cruelty, beating, chOk
ing or kicking her, denies that
he was ever married to her. and alleges
that they are not husband and wife
and that they never have been. He says
she agreed in Minneapolis in 1883 to
accompany him to this state, providing
he would support her. supply her with
the necessaries of life and such luXuries
as might be mutually agreed upon, con-
sistent with his circumstances, and
that they were to live together until
such relationship should be terminated
by will of either or both parties. He
claims to have paid her by agreement
$500 since March, 1890, by which she
was to relinquish all right, title
and interest in all property
which she then had or claimed
to have as his wife or otherwise, and,
that since this contract, and with full
knowledge of the existence of matters
and things, which she alleges have con-
stitUted her wrongs. She says at divers
times since the contract, and prior to
this action, she besought and impor-
tuned him to resume the relations stated
to have existed between them under
the agreement by which they lived to-
gether before. He believes that she
has brought this action to harrass him
and accomplish his professional down.
fall. The Fianigans have always been
prominent persons in society and church
circles, and the allegations made by the
doctor fall as thunderbolt among peo
pie with whom they had previously as
sociated. The outcome of the case is
awaited with great interest.

WASHINGTON, May 31-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Clarkson will
leave Washington tomorrow on the
Chicago limited for an extended official
tour of the far West. At Des Moines
he will be joined by his family, and in
private car, which has been placed at
his service. he will at once proceed TO
Seattle, state of Washington. From
that point diverging tours will be made
through WASHINGTON and Oregon. Later
he will visit San Francisco and the
other leading cities and towns OF
California. The prime object of
this tour is to obtain thorough
knowledge of the postal needs for the
Pacific slope. Mr.. Clarkson is of the
opinion that the far West is entitled to
better facilities, and he believes that a
Western man, who is acquainted with
the peculiarities and rapidity of West
ern development, is best able to judge
of its postal needs. He will make
close inspection of the service at all i'm
portant centers, and. on his return
will make such recommendations as the
situation demands. Mr.. Clarkson, in
speaking of the matter to-day. recalled
the fact that one year Chicago had less
than third as many daily deliv-
cries as had New York, and that at the
Chicago stockyards. with its enormous
interests. the mail service at that time
was hardly equal to that of an Eastern
village of 500 inhabitants. Mr.. Clarkson
cites these cases to show that by lack
Of familiar knowledge of and sympathy
with the phenomenal growth of the
West the postal authorities in times
past had rather retarded than assisted
in this development. On Mr.. Clarkson's
return to Washington he will tender to
the president his resignation, to take
effect Immediately. His successor has
not yet been determined upon.

NO BAR TO PENSION.
Court-Martial Sentences Gut No
Figure at AL.

WASHINGTON, May, 31.-Assistant
Secretary Bussey to-day decided the
pension case of Marie Coburn. widow of
Thomas Coburn, late of Company |,
Twenty-second Kentucky volunteers,
and of Company c, Seventh Kentucky
Veteran volunteers. From the record
it appears that COburn enlisted Oct. l,
1861, in the Twenty-second Kentucky
volunteers to serve three years. Nov.
81, 1862, he deserted and remained
away from his company about sixteen
months. He was then apprehended
and, by court martial, sentenced to
forfeit pay and allowance for the six
teen months he was absent, and to
serve one year in addition to his
regular term of enlistment. His COM
pany having only four months more
to serve, at the end of that period he
was transferred to the Seventh Ken
lucky to complete his original term of
service and the one year added by the
sentence of the court martial. While
serving with the Seventh regiment at
Baton Rouge he contracted smallpox,
from which he died. The pension bu-
reau rejected the widows claim for pen
sion upon the ground that at the time OF
the soldiers death he was undergoing a.
sentence imposed by court martiel,
and therefore was not in the line of
duty. The assistant secretary says: Il
hold that only the limitations, excep-
tions and condition that are plainly
set forth in the statutes under which
a title to pension is granted, or in
some act specifically referring to
those statutes in indisputable terms can
be set up as bar to pension, and it has
been invariably held by the department
that sentence of court martial can
neither take away or bar title to pen
sion, inasmuch as such court possessed
no jurisdiction over the subject; nor is
it competent for either the commissioner
of pensions or the secretary of the in
terror to hold any alleged misconduct OF
soldier in the service as bar to pen
sion, unless such misconduct be eXplie
lily declared to be bar by the statutes.
There is no unwritten law applicable to
pensions. nor any traditional sentiment
by which their merits are. to be deter
mined. There is no statutory limitation
that bars title in this case" The claim
is, therefore, allowed.

KILLED BY A BREECH BOLT.
Fatal Mishap on the Man OF War
Alliance.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-A report re-
ceived at the navy department from
Commander Henry G. Taylor. COM
manding the United States ship ALI
ance, now On her way to China, states
that on the morning Of the 9th inst,
while the ship was cruising in the Med.
iterranean and the crew was at target
practice, Boatswain's Mate j. MCGOWAN
was instantly killed by the premature
explosion of siXty-pound breech-load-
ing rifle. He was captain of the gun
and was in the act of locking the breech
mechanism when the cartridge ex-
ploded, blowing the plug entirely
through his body. which was torn
apart. The trunk lay some dis
tance from the legs, across the ships
deck from the gun. Commander Tay-
lor ordered a board of officers to investi-
gate the cause of the explosion. their re-.
port only deepening the mystery. They
could find nothing to show that the
primer had been placed in the vent, az
ordinarily its she'll remains in the vent
when exploded, and there was none to
be found on this occasion. McGoYan
was known to be careful gunner. we'll
acquainted with ordnance, and he had
taken every precaution. The board
came to the conclusion that, in the turn,
ing of the breech plug into place, the
metal must have struck spark and ig-
nited the cartridge. No blaine was at
tached to any one for the accident.

CHICAGO, May 31.-A report was circulated
to-day TO the effect that John N. Abbott late
chairman OF the Western States Passenger
association, had been appointed assistant
general manager of the Great Northern rail-
road. While it is doubtless true that Mr.. Alb
bout has favorably considered an offer from
President Hill, of the Great Northern, there
is reason to believe that Mr.. Abbott's title
will be something else than assistant general
manager, and his duties very different from
those which usually devolve upon that
officer
Mr.. Abbott was found at the Ryan
hotel by a GLOBE reporter last night.
When the above was recited to him he
smiled and replied:
ut is not true. / have not been ap-
pointed assistant general manager Of
the Great Northern SYSTEM"
Others connected with the road were
interrOgated, but with like results, and
Mr. Hill could not be seen, as he is ab-
sent from the city. 1t is believed in
railway circles, however, that Mr.. Alb
bott will be soon actively identified with
the affairs of the Great Northern.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-The pas
senger coach of the narrow gauge train
which went through the drawbridge at
Oakland estuary yesterday afternoon,
causing the loss of thirteen lives, was
hauled up on the beach this afternoon,
but no more bodies were found. The
car was badly wrecked, and the interior
bore evidence of the struggle which the
passengers made to escape with their
lives. Boats we're employed all night
to patrol the estuary and recover any
body that might have found its way
to the surface, but the watch was
fruitless, as was the search of
the divers, and it is now believed all the
bodies have been recovered. The en-
CINE is still buried in the mud at the
bottom of the creek, but efforts are
being made to raise it. The bodies of
the dead passengers haYe all been re-
moved from the nofgue to the homes of
their relatives or to the undertakers'
