A Sheriff With n Summons for the Presi-

A Sheriff With n Summons for the Presi-
dent-Elect-Good Luck Cunning.
ExMoRE, VA, November 3O-The chief
incident of the day on the Broadwater
Island, was the arrival Of Sheriff
Samuel Jarvis, of Northampton coun-
w, with summons which he
sought to serve upon President-elect
Cleveland. He came over from the main
land at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but was
forced to wait until the cunning party re-
turned from their days sport before pre-
senting the document.
The Sheriff was seen by q reporter. He
was unable to furnish any information eX-
cept that the summons was TO appear be-
fore the Chancery Court at Richmond, Va.
He did not know what case was involved.
He could give no particulars on the SUBJ
iect.
The ducking party, which went out in
the channel opposite High Hotel, returned
shortly after four o'clock and reported ex-
cellent sport. Mr.. Cleveland occupied the
floating blind along with George Doughty,
who loaded his gun. He bagged nine brant,
six red heads and five butter balls. Har-
gis picked up the game for Mr. Cleveland.
So far as can be learned no definite time
has been determined for Mr.. Cleveland's
return north. From present indications,
however, it seems probable that he may
spend another Sunday upon Broadwatef
Island.
Later, it was learned that the summons
was in connection with suit brought by
a Virginia attorney to collect fee from a
syndicate Of which Mr. Cleveland is a
member for services in connection with
the Virginia debt question

past year we have been closely associat-
ed in the elucidatfon of social problems
and the demonstration of the immortal
ity of the soul through psychic pheno-
mena. When l was arrested in Quincy
we were organizing public demonstra-
tion at Merrick Hall. He certainly &C
companied me to Elgin and was present
at the preliminary examination, but
that is the last of that very prolific re-

able belongings, goods, wearing apparel,

81 have on my table his last letter, in
which he airily invites me to solicit
spirit aid in breaking jail and admon-
ishes me for extravaganza in the Sher-
iffs family, because / have pleaded with
him these past five weeks to either send
or dispose of my goods and chattels,
that / might be benefited. 1t is unne-
cessary for me to state that all my
earnings from lectures on psychic phe-
nomena were banked by the redoubta-
bic professor. Further comment is un-
necessary.
Permit me to pay passing tribute
to the kind and humane treatment |
have received at the hands of Sheriff
Reed and his family, but then we are
all Democrats. See?
This queer document Is signed "Vera
P. Ava" and in postscript the writer
says that she is willing to be sworn as to
the truth of its declarations.
Diss De Bar does not look very COM
Portable in the jail quarters. She is big,
and the cell she occupies is not very
large. She passes most Of her time in
dressing and undressing. Usually she
wears long black robe, like that OF
nun, covered with mysterious looking
cabalistic signs and symbols, the mean
ing of which are known to no one, not
this woman herself. She persists in de-
nying that she is Dis De Bar, but II she
is not this woman she is her astral body.

Dillgent Effort win Be Made to Find
those Who Desecrated Soldiers Graves.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, November 30.-The
localities in Hendricks, Morgan, Put
nam and other counties where the grave
stones of Union soldiers were painted red,
continue in ferment of excitement. The
investigating board, instituted at Martins
Vile to discover and punish the perpetra-
tors Of the work, has been strengthened by
the addition of II. A. Phelps, a well known
attorney, who was largely instrumental in
the suppression of the Knights Of the
Golden Circle during the war.
Heretofore the court has had no Repub-
lican representative. Mr.. Phelps ap-
poiutment, from the fact that he has been
connected with the Morgan county bar for
over % years and is acquainted with al
most every man in the county adds conf
dence to the investigation and when the
grand Jury meets it is confidently stated
that evidence will have been secured 10
warrant q number of indictments. The
Grand Army posts in the territory affected
are assisting in the work Of investigation.
The sentiment that exists not only among
the old soldiers but among the people gen.
orally is reflected in the resolutions adopted
by Blankenship Post of Martinsville last
night
We demand that the perpetrators of this
shameful outrage, the authors of this cruel
conspiracy, whoever they may be, be
brought TO answer for their crimes, and we
pledge the Grand Army and every loyal
Union soldier, in every efficient way in en-
forcing and vindicating the law, in aveng-
ing the honor of our dead comrades and in
hunting down the dastardlv perpetrators,
effecting their arrest and bringing them to
sure punishment To this end, be it,
RESOLVED, That committee Of three dis
Greet comrades of the post be appointed to
aid the legal authorities in investigating
this alleged desecration, and that they be
authorized TO take such steps and adopt
such measures as in their judgment will
make their work most effectual, and result
in the early apprehension and certain pun
ishtnent of the guilty parties

be necessary to supplement this appropri-
alton. An estimate OF Sl69, ,OO0 900 is sub
mltted for the next fiscal wear but
commissioner Raum says that if as
many allowances Of pensions shall be
made during the fiscal year to come as dur
ing the fiscal yesr ended June 80 last this
amount will not be large enough. He says,
however, that il is difficult TO forecast pen
sion payments so far in advance, and that
as Congress viii be in session no embar-
rassments viii arise if his successor in the
light Of actual cost Of the work for the
nrst SIX months OF the next fiscal year
hnds that further appropriation will be
needed.
The Commissioner admits that since the
passage Of the late law there has been q
great deal Of unfavOrable comment upon
the pension system in general, and that ii
mas been said that the country is in danger
OF being bankrupted by extravagant and
undeserving pension legislation, But" he
comments, "a casual consideration Of the
great change in the mode of the lives Of
these men, and the conditions to which
military life in time OF war subjected them
must suggest that the strain upon
the life powers of the soldier
was so great as 70 make per-
manent inrOads upon the vital forces which
would necessarily result in the develop
ment Of a multitude Of ailments and disa-
bllties beyond the reach Of medicine"
During the past fiscal year 224, ,047 GER
tlhcates were issued to original cases, and
t9, 1olln increase claims. There are 449,o16
original claims pending, of which number
100000 are apparently complete.
1t is important both for the claimants
and the Government to dispose Of the orig
inal cases as soon as possible as first pay
ments dated from the filing Of declarings
are at the average rate of 81 a month.
At the close of the fiscal year there was a
balance on hand from the appropriations
for pensions Of a., ,2S9. IA, and deficiency
in the appropriation for the payment Of
fees and expenses Of examining surgeons OF
S3O5, ,OOO
Mr.. Raum closes with a comparative
statement or the work done under the
Cleveland aud Harrison administrations.
He says:
1.-The total number Of original certif-
Gates issued from March 4, 1889, TO October
81, 1892, was 500, sos, and the total number
Of pension certificates Of all classes issued
during said period was S35, ,04S, while dur
ing the period from March 4, 1885, to Oc-
tOber 81, 1888, the number Of original
certificates issued was lS5, ,769, and the
total number OF certificates issued
during that period was 1923 being an
excess OF original certificates issued during
the period Of your administration of 334,-
7y6. aud an aggregate excess Of all classes
of certificates Of 432, 663n
The average cost to the government Of
each certificate granted during the CIeye-
land administration, the Commissioner
SAYS, was S3l.35, and during the present
administration Sl0.41.
