Patient and Doctors Set Right.

In yesterdays issue 1t was stated that Drs.
Hamilton and Cameron had amputated Mrs.
Voles' limb on account Of rheumatic trouble
which stubbornly resisted ordinary treatment.
The name of the patient is Mrs. Noyes, and her
ailment was cancer of the knee joint. which
developed after hurt received about SIX
months ago. Drs. Clarke and Murdock per-
formed the operation. and to them belongs the
credit of the difficult amputation.

The full confessions of three Of the i've men
who are implicated in the recent attempt at
wholesale murder by train wrecking on the
New York Central Road show that the series
of crimes were committed with the full inten-

In mere wantOnness and cruelty. The plotting
of the conspirators, the cold blooded inditler-
ence Of the leaders, their propositions of direct
murder, which were defeated by the protests
of their more timid accomplices, their subse-
quent conferences with the official leaders of
the Knights Of Labor, the financial aid which
the labor organization furnished to enable the
wretches to escape are told with detail.
and make the story of what is in some respects
the most diabolical conspiracy ever exposed in

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

Democrats Gain in Hartford County
 Republicans Ahead in New Haven.
 HARTFORD, Conn.,, Oct. 7.-Returns from about half the towns in the State show nearly the usual quantity of changes. In Hartford County the Dem ocratic gains seem on these returns to outnumber the Republican, while in New Haven County it is the other way. Returns from the east tern part of the State are meagre. In general the vote was light. Figures thus far do not show any decided drift of feeling either way, such as is sometim es indicated even in these town elec- tions.
 It looks as if the voting had been almost wholly on local issues.
 In this city, on account of the system of minority representation in the different boards, and vacancies on the tickets, all the Republican and Demo- cratic tickets were elected except one. Both parties nominated two candidates for the Board of School Visitors, while the Board consists of three. Two Democrats and one Republican were elected. The Board of Selectmen chosen were: George W. Fowler, Demo- crat and Republicans; Thomas J. Blake, Democrat; Wm. Westphal, Democrat; John A. Crilly, Republican, and Edwin J. Smith, Republican.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-The annual re. port of Green B. Raum, Commissione1 of Pensions, for the fiscal year ended June 30 past, and including the first quarter of the current fiscal year of the operations of his bureau, has been submitted to the Secretary of the h. tsrior. It shows that at the end of the fiscal year there were 537, ,944 pen etOners borne upon the rolls,

 Commissioner Raum says that upon taking charge of the Pen ston Office last October, he dis covered that a number of impor- tant changes were necessary to secure satisfactory results, which were bROught to the attention of the Secre- tary of the Interior.
 There were no satisfactory specified duties provided for the deputy com missioner or the chief clerk of the Bureau. Several thousand letters were daily received from claimants and attorneys making complaints to which no reply was made; the medical division was divided into sections for consideration of classified diseases, the power of reopening claims was exercised by heads of divisions and examiners without submitting them to the commissioners; claims were drawn from the files, from day to day, for adjudication at the discretion of the file clerks, claimants having no power to cause the settlement of their claims when complete; eighteen per cent. of the official force was assigned to duty in the field for the special exa nina tion of cases when there were 14, 836 cases in the special examination division; a division had been created called the Board of Re-review, composed of about 40 persons for the re-examina- tton of cases passed upon by the Board of Review; and matters relating to the 0EROAAblnoAb anu promot1on or the pthctal force of the Pension Office and of Boards of Medical Examiners were under the direction of two divisions.
 The report contains all the orders in regard to these defects in administra- tion, and the manner in which they were remedied.
 The Commissioner devoted consider able space to discussing and explaining the present system of drawing cases from the files for adjudication, and says that under the sys- tenn of the completed files, the claimant has right, upon proper oer- tiication that his claim is complete, to have it immediately placed upon the "completed files" and taken up in it's order for adjudication. Claims placed upon the "completed files" are taken up within a week for action, and if found complete are immediately al- lowed.

 LONDON, Oct. 7.-Au the bluster made by the Governments played out organ, the Times, to the effect that there was not much, if any, apprehension con- corning the condition of Ireland during the coming winter, was knocked in the head by resolution prepared at the instigation of Mir. Parnell, and adopted at the Nationalists' meeting in Dublin.
 The resolution says that the Nation. alist party Is compelled by circum- stances to make an appeal to its friends everywhere in behalf of the Irish tenants, and it looks especially to it's friends in America to subscribe gener- ously for the defence of a distressed people. This appeal, the resolution says, is made most unwillingly, but the desperate strait in which the Irish tenants are now placed makes it abso- 1utely necessary that assistance should be asked from friends and sympathizers the world.
