THE PENSION REPORT.
Commissioner Raum Gives the Statistics Tor
the Year lust Closed.

W.snISGros, Nov. 30.-The annual re-
port of Green Il, Raum, COMMISSIONER of
pensions, shows that there were on the
pension rolls, June 30, ls92 S16 06s pen
soners an increase during the year of
l99 .90s.
There were added to the rolls during the
yoar 222 ,9S. new pensioners and 247I PEN
sioners previously dropped were restored To
the pension list. During the year 23,306
PERSONS were dropped from the rolls
The total amount expended for pensions
during the fiscal year was Sl39, ,035 ,6l2.
For the present fiscal year i4,956, 900
is appropriated, and taking the cost of
ponsion allowances during the first four
months of this fiscal year as a basis of cal
culation. the commissioner estimates a de-
ficency in the appropriation of slo,50s ,G2l
will be necessary to supplement to this
years appropriation.
An estimate of Sl65 100000 was sub
mitted for the next fiscal year. Under the
957 claims have been fled of which num-
ber iO3 So have been allowed The pen
sion payments under the law up to Sept.
50. ls?., amounted to 7G,l?+ ,i4J.
The commissioner, IN heartily commend
brought RELIEF to hosts of needy and de-
serving people.
During the past fiscal year 224 ,0i7 eer-
tificates were issued in original eases and
7a,3sl in nc.easc claims. Commissioner
Raun thinks f this policy is pursued until
the close of the fiscal year 1894 the all
Indication Of original claims will be sub
.tantiaIIy completed and at the close of
e
To lie on the rolls will have been placed
there. There are I4o $40 original claims
pending Of which 1o9,o 900 are apparently
complete,
,s Il rule pension claimants are greatly
in need of money. The report says the
number of claims of all kinds pending Oct.
-. lS92, was 7Ss ,n6l, of which ;i5i,l
were filed under the disability act. The
Revolutionary AMI 1872 war rolls are rap
idly dwindling, Only 20 widows and two
daughters OF Revolutionary veterans are on
the former roll. Survivors of the war of
1912 on the rolls now number only 100,
against 2Si year ago

ing the period from March 1, 1883 to octo-
ber 81. 1883. the number of original certi-
iicates issued was 1915 total number

The report states that the work OF the

S5OO.O0O FAILURE
Stone City Bank and Enterprise Co. Of illinois
Go Under.

JoilEr, H., Nov. 30.--The Stone City
Bank, a private institution suspended pay
ment toda, on account of run, caused by
the shutting down of the Enterprise Com
pany, one of the departments of the big
wire fence industry. The bank is operated
by ii. Fish 4 Sons, aud was thought
to be one of the soundest
institutions in the state. The
trouble began with the Enterprise Company
cenfessing judgements for SlS3.i15 and
filing trust deed for borrowed money to
Mrs. C. A. Miller for slS6.3ls. Fish
Brothers are sons of Henry Fish, with T..
II. Connell, were the proprietors of the
Enterprise Company. Mrs. Miller is an
aunt of the Fislis, who are also related to
Mrs. John A. Logan. 1t is estimated that
nothing less than $500 900 will settle the
firms affairs. The failure of the Enter
prise Co. is due, it is announced, to dull
trade.
The banks affairs are so involved with
the wire null that 1t will take considerable
time to unravel the tanglc. The larger
part of the banks assets is invested in the
mill business. Many business houses of
.Iohe, kept their accounts ut the bank and
its suspension viii result in great embar-
rassmeni 10 them. The greatest sufferers
vii, be laboring men. A large number Of
mill employees entrusted it with their saw
lngs.
The president of the broken bank was
Henry Fish, and his three sons, Charles
NJ. Henry and George Fish, conducted the
affairs of the mill. Mr.. Fish, Sr., had the
reputation of being one of the ablest tinan-
ciers of the West. He was rated at 5000
coo. aud his sons ut as much more. There
was never rumor, even affecting the SOL
vency of either bank or mill up to tonight.
1t is not believed the banks condition is
beyond resuscitation, only that its assets
are temporarily locked up. Its deposits
range from Sin0 900 to s5Oo00o. 1t is not
thought that the mill will resume. II en-
ploved between 400 and 800 hands.

is LIZZIE BORDEN INSANE,
Theory Now Strongly Advanced That Such
is Her Mental Condition.


BosTos, Nov. 3o.--The journal today
publishes the following despatch from New
Bedford
Attorney General Pillsbary believes that
Lizzie A. Borden is insane. Thereby hangs
the secret Of the adjournment of the grand
jury in the Borden case, sitting at Taunton
on Nov. II, To come in again Thursday,
Dee. !. The Mercury in the morning will
state that this is the true reason for the ad-
jourpment. and the Mercury's statement
sill be based on the best of authority.
1t will be remembered that following the
surprise 10 the community from this UNI
precedented action of the grand jury there
were all sorts of ruInors as IN the real rea-
son for the adjournment. Following SO
closely upon the visit of the grand jury TO
Fall River and the spot where Andrew J.
Borden and his wife were butchered in
broad daylight, it w&s generally thought
that new and important facts had come to
light which required time for investigation
and hence the adjournment.
And then there came the story that Dis
trict Attorney Know iton and Attorney Cen
cral Pillsbury had quarreled, and this was
expatiated upon as the reason for the won
derfui action of the grand jury. But the
Mercury will give this story as the true rea
son for adjournment.
There is little doubt that the evidence
submitted to the grand jury was sufficient
for the finding of an Indictment, and at the
time of the adjournment of that august and
secret body the members were all ready to
bring in true bill But there arose a
doubt in the mind of the attorney-general
to the sanity of the prisoner. The stories
of her actions, as told by the witnesses,
had, no doubt, great weight in influencing
the attorney general in this direction. The
question of insanity, however, was looked
upon in different light by District Attor-
ney knowlton But he gave in TO the
wishes of his superior, and expressed his
Willingness that the jury should take re-
cess while an examination as To Miss Bor-
den's sanity was made. This investigation,
it is understood. has been carried on since
the Jury adjourned, and when next the ju-
rors file into their seats in the Taunton
court room they will be confronted by e1-
perts who will give their opinions whether
Lizzie Borden is of sound mind or whether
she is Il maniac.
The horrible double murder, it will be
remembered, was regarded at the outset as
the deed of some one devoid of reason. and
from its very brutality and She evident cum
ming with which it was planned and executed
the theory held that 1t was committed by
the wild man, who has figured so largely,
gained ground. This wild man has never
been found, and no trace of him has been
unearthed. But the horrible evidence of
the crime itself proves conclusively that
none but u crazy person, one momentarily
rrazed or otherwise, could bave done it.
Lizzie queer actions and dnings have long
since been u matter of remark among her
acquaiutanees, even before the murier
drew the attention of the whole newspaper
reading public to them.
