WENT OVER TO BLOW UP ENGLAND.
Now His Widow Wants Pension Be-
cause He Was a Veteran.


WASHINGTON, March 22.-The attempt
to blow up London bridge and to shatter
the houses of Parliament some eight,
years ago had an interesting sequel yes
terday in the bill which was introduced
by Mr.. Chapman of Michigan, to grant a
pension to Mrs. Thomas Lomasney.
Thomas was prominent Irishman in
this country, with fondness for the
O'Donavan Rossa style of fighting. He
went to London for the express purpose
of blowing up London bridge and Parlia-
ment, end it will be remembered that af-
ter the explosion under the bridge moth
ing was found except a shattered boat
and some fragments of clothing.
Mrs. Lomasney recently applied to the
pension office for pension, claiming
that her husband served in the war, and
was refused, on the ground that she
could not prove her husbands death.
Mrs. Lomasney, who has not seen her
husband since he bade her good bye and
sailed for England, believes that his life
was lost in the explosion, and has ap-
piled for aid to Mr.. Chapman, who intro
duced bill to grant her pension, on
the supposition that her husband is no
longer alive.
