HEARST'S ENTERPRISE.
A NEW CLAIM BUREAU.

The San Francisco Examiner has
established in Washington, d. c., a
bureau to be called Examiner Bureau
of Claims" which will be of great
benefit to all persons having claims
against the Government of any nature
or description whatsoever. The pen
sion fees chargeable by attorneys have
for some time been limited Ivy law,
and under the recent act of March ),
1891, transferring the jurisdiction OF
Indian Depreciation cases from the
Interior Department 20 the Court of
the Claims, Congress not only limited
the fees, but in order to check the
rapacity of the claim agents, cancelled
all existing contracts and lac agree
ments between client and attorney.
Congress was led TO take this action
on account of facts brought to their
notice that by II combination among
the leading claim agents u range OF
fees from 334 to 30 per cent had been
established. The vast mass of govern
ment claims are still unprotected by
law.
Mr.. William X. Hearst, son of the
late Senator Hearst, and the prOprie-
tor OF the Examiner, proposes To at
tend through his new bureau to all
classes of cases before the departments
pensions, patents, depreciation
claims and Indian claims-for a small
percentage above the actual cost of the
work.
He has engaged several competent
attorneys and the necessary clerical
force of a large bureau, and they Will
soon be at work. lie has placed at
the head of the bureau Mr.. John We'd
derburn, of this city, who has long
been the correspondent of the Ex-
aminer, and had remarkable ex-
perience few years ago in ferreting
out for Secretary Tracy some gigantic
contract frauds at the Mare Island
Navy Yard. The new bureau, being
established by responsible newspaper
has already received jhc cordial en-
dorsement of many Western members

RAILROAD NEWS.

6. S. Appleton, employed by the
Central Vermont for Sc years, and
for many years station agent at
Burlington, died suddenly the other
morning, aged about 73.
The railroad commissioners have
made a report on the collision be-
tween the Central Vermont and
Lake roads on the grade crossing at
East Swanton in September last. 1t
appeared that neither train crew on
that occasion complied with the rail
road rule requiring them to stop
within 200 feet of the crossing, and
the officials of both roads have
united in the adoption of a more
adequate regulation for engineers
and all train men, with special refer
ence to avoiding trouble at such
crossings.

commission was here for a short
time on Friday last on its way

Gen Manager Furber of the Boston

new issue of Central Massachusetts,
bonds is for money to reimburse the
Boston and Maine for expenditures
incurred for additional rolling stock
and increased sidings, rendered neces-
sarv by the large volume of new 'busi
ness secured by the Boston and Maine
connections. Probably $2,OOO,OOO
additional bonds will be sufficient to
put the road in proper shape to
handle the present business. When
the Central Massachusetts, pays this
debt and the St. Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain and Lowell roads pay
similar debts, the much talked-of
Boston and Maine float ting debt will
disappear"

A BEVY OF SNEAK THIEVES.

Quite an extensive nest of thieves,
including both males and females
who have been operating with free
hand in the vicinity of Lancaster,
N. H., and Lunenburg, this state,
has just been broken up. For weeks
past the people in that locality have
been missing things-sheets, wearing
apparel, harness, etc, etc, and the
mystery surrounding the thefts was
not unraveled until few days ago,
when one of a threshing party dis
covered on the person of man in
that neighborhood shirt which he
had himself once owned. This led to
visit from the sheriff, the arrest of
the illegal shirt-wearer, and, by his
confession, the securing of nine men,
bers of the thieving gang. Two
young men in Lunenburg are said to
have been concerned in the thefts !;
one of them was arrested, the other
had business in Canada and had not
been apprehended at last accounts.
A large number of stolen articles
were recovered, and measures will
doubtless be taken to convince those
most interested that sneak thieving
is not profitable in the long run.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY.

Another interesting and profitable
meeting of the Natural History soci-
ETY. was held in Athen9um hall Tues
day evening. Prof. S. H. Bracket
spoke interestingly of his observa-
tions with the telescope of the total
eclipse of the moon last Sunday even
ing. He studied particularly the oc-
culta ton of the stars and said that
as the moon covered the stars it did
so instantly, proving conclusively
that the light from the stars was as
near point as possible. The reddish
color on the moon while it was en-
tirely obscured by the earth's shad-
ow was owing to the refraction of
the suns light by the atmosphere
that surrounded the earth Prof.
Bracket measured time down to the
seconds by means of electricity and
will tabulate the results of his OBJ
servations later. Frank H. Brooks
gave paper on winter birds. The
black coot, which was shot here a
few weeks ago. was exhibited, and
c. F. Varnev showed some fine speci-
mems of sponges, concerning which a
brief paper was presented by the
president.

BILE feature of the entertainment.
The stage setting in the first part
was attractive, much more so than
most of the jokes, which were of
decidedly chestnutty flavor, many of
them being decidedly coarse-a crit
icism which can justly be applied to
the comedy work throughout, aside
from that in the rehearsal scene.
The dancing and tumbling were well
done

THE NATIONAL HATCHERY

c. E. Gorham of Washington, the

Gorham was favorably impressed
with the location, the falls and the
springs adjacent and will report his
observations to Col. Mcdonald, the
commissioner who will decide where
the hatchery is to be located. ST.

it will be matter of hearty con-
gra atulation if the town secures this
government institution.
