the payment of the public debt because
1t was large. Such action would have
been both cowardly and dishonest,
On the contrary, they faced the great
problem with courage and solved it
with wisdom and honor. They
amended the Constitution of the
United States, and declared that the
validity of the public debt of the
United States, authorized by law, in
Guiding debts for payment of pensions
and bounties for suppressing insurrec-
ton or rebellion, shall not be ques-
toned This amendment recognizes
and protects two great classes of fuan-
ciaI obligations. The one is to those
who held the securities Of the govern
ment issued to raise money to carry on
the war, the other is to those who
took the personal risks of war and
saved the Union. The heroism of the
men in arms made the great cause tri.
umphant, and by their success con-
verted the deprecated obligations
held by public creditors into glittering
gold; and now when this mighty obli-
cation of the old soldiers has matured,
because Of their infrmities and their
weight of years, shall it be denied
them because the sum is large? In
1865 the interest charge upon the
public debt was nearly $l5I, 500, 900,
and the pensions were IS, 500, 900, an
aggregate Of $l6O, 600, 900. The popula-
ton was then 5000, 900, aud this
annual charge of interest and pension
was S4.57 per capita. The debt is now
almost paid. 1t is no longer a burden.
The b%Ondholders have received 81, $780,
l76, GOO in Interest ana premiums since
July l, 1861. The pensioners have
received 81, 2S4, ZIG, 900. The present
interest charge for 1891 is $36, 49S, 900,
and the pensions for this year will cost
SIG, 600, 200, or an annual aggregate of
and pensions of $l52, 4OS, 600.
now have a population of 6S, O00,-
600, so that this annual expense Of
interest and pension is $2.44 per capita.
The gratitude of this nation to de-
tenders should be measured by the
value Of the service rendered and the
financial ability of this people to
respond to the demands of just pension
legislation"

To Shoot

The letter carriers have been. greatly an.
noyed during the summer by viciops dogs
and in several instances they have narrowly
escaped serious injury. Letter Carrier
John Book has been attacked so often that
his lower limds present the appearance of a
piece Of hide that has been filed with holes
By an ice pick, The carrier has become
50 used to the punishment that he looks
upon a days work as a complete failure if
III not accompanied by a bite or two.
Carrier Boyer has also been victimized
several times. The other day a dog on
Line street jumped at his throat. Boyer
jumped aside and tho canine fastened its
teeth in his letter pouch. This week the
carriers decided to take decisive action.
Mr.. Holman appealed to the borough
council, but the members said to pay for
capturing dogs at large was d waste Of
money, as shown by experience in years
past. Last night the carriers appealed to
Chief Burgess Lessig, who gave them
authority to shoot any dog that gives them
any trouble while they are on their routes.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 23.-DiYorce pro-
ceedings out of the usual line were in
stituted in The circuit court today by
Andrew J. Bowers. Mr.. Bowers is a
native of Richmond, Va. He asks the
court to annul a marriage ceremony
performed between him and Emma A.
Bigelow, on the ground that at that
time he was already married man. He
claims, in his bill of complaint, that he
had to marry Miss Bigelow or be muir
dered, and that the fact that he had
wife at the time WAS known to Miss
Bigelow and her family.
The bill alleges that Tuesday last.
while standing at Calvert and Lombard
streets, Mr.. Bowers was approached by
the father and brother of Miss Bigelow,
who compelled him at the point of a
pistol TO enter a carriage with them.
They were driven to the house of the
Bigelows, it is charged, where Mr..
Bowers WAS placed in room. The
elder Bigelow kept guard with a pistol.
it is claimed, while his son procured a
marriage license for Mr.. Bowers and
Miss BigelOw and minister to perform
the ceremony.
The record of the court of common
pleas shows that Oh June 2, 1891, Ii
cense was issued for the marriage Of
Andrew j. Bowers. aged twenty-fOur,
and Miss Bertha RoOp. aged twenty.
Last Tuesday a license was issued for
the marriage of Andrew j. Bowers,
aged twenty-three, and Miss Emma A.
Bigelow, aged nineteen. No return 10
either license has been made by the
minister.

Westchester county, was served on
Sheriff German today, directing him to
produce Edward NJ. Field before the
commission appointed to inquire into
his sanity, at White Plains. The ply
stefan at Ludlow street jail, however,
said that Field was too i'll to be moved,
and the sheriff so notified the commits
sion. 1t was therefore agreed that the
inquiry should go on without the pres
ence of the prisoner.
The verdict was unanimous. The
jury consisted of twenty-four men who
listened with marked attention to the
evidence presented and returned their
verdict without hearing argument. 1t
is proper to say that while only part
of the evidence available was pre-
sented, the case was regarded by all
concerned as conclusive. The jury also
found Mr.. Fields personal property to
be worth $4,000.

THE MARKET FIGHT.
Harlow Gale, by No Means Dis
heartened, Makes Another Move,

Yesterday witnessed new developments in
the market war, and just what the outcome
of the fight will be is at present extremely
doubtful. When the council issued its order
u clear the streets in front of the old Bridge
square market, and later when measures
were taken 10 carry that order into effect,
Harlow Gale made no Visible move, and for
day or two it appeared that the South side
mafket people would have ii ali their own
way until the com pletion Of the new central
market, as the bulk OF the trade necessarily
came to them. However. Mr.. Gale mad not
by any means retired from the field, and il
now transpireS that he has secured from the
street railway com pany The use of the prop
erty at the foot of First avenue north in the
rear of the old location. The South side
market people claim that q portion of the
ground which Mr.. Gale is using belongs to
the city, and from the plats IL the city en-
gineers office il would appear that such is
the case. Mr. Gale expresses great surprise
at the antagonistic stand taken by the South
side market people, as he says he assisted
them with their market project in every way
in his power

was held so close to her that the fame
set fire TO her dress. With the blood
gushing from the wound and her cloth
ing ablaze, the poor girl ran shrieking
toward the house. Her mother met Der
at the door, and in her terror made no
torturing the wounded girl. When the
mother did realize Eda's peril. her own
dress was blazing. Selling the girl she
ran down the road TO muddy pool of
water and actually threw her daughter
into it. Then she herself lay down in
the water, which quickly eXtinguished
the fire. Ella was brought home, where
she now lies at the point of death. The
mother is severely burned, but will re-
cover.
