REUNITED BY RAUM.
The Pension Commissioners Mixed
Up in q louisville Romance.


LOUISVILLE, Jan. 26.--After a separ-
alton of twenty-five years during which
time each thought the other dead,
George w. Davenport and his wife have
become reunited i'm this city through q
letter from Pension Commissioner
Raum. The story is peculiar one and
smacks of the romantic. Davenport and
his wife were married in this city on
June 10, 1866, by Rev. Lawrence BaX,
but year and half later the husband
departed for the West to seek fortune.
1t seems that shortly after DavenpOrtS
departure he received letter from
friend conveying the news of his wife'S
death, some time before, and stating that
the body had been buried by relatives.
The husband did not, of course. doubt
the authenticity of his friends an
nouncement, and, as me had no near
relatives in this city, he never re-
turned. Mrs. Davenport, failing to hear
from her husband, sought high and low
for him for several years, and then sOr-
rowfully arrived at the conclusion that
he was no longer in the land of the liY-
ing.
The missing man is veteran OF the
civil war. He enlisted in company G OF
the Eighteenth Missouri. At Shiloh he
was badly wounded. After leaving. the
city he went TO Texas. At Fort Worth
he served as deputy marshal for four
years. He was deputy sheriff of Tar
rant county two years. and served on
the police force of Fort Worth for three
years. During all this time he was re-
ceiVIng soldiers pension from the
government, and to this is due the
discovery of the fact that his wife
was still living. In 1889 Mrs.
Davenport was persuaded by friends to
apply for Widows pension. When the
application was placed on file the pen-
sion commissioner discovered that the
man she represented as her deceased
husband was still alive and drawing a
pension. After lengthy investigation
the commissioner communicated this
discovery to the supposed widow. Mrs.
Davenport was overjOyed, and made an
effort to communicate with her husband.
He had in the meantime left the Lone
Star state, and had taken up a claim in
Oklahoma territory, but Commissioner
Raum finally succeeded in reaching
him by letter. immediately upon re-
ceipt of the good news Mr.. Davenport
sold his claim and returned 10 LOUIS
vile, where lie was met by his over
loved Wife

A more or less lively debate is becom-

day sessions Of the house. There may
be little or no indication Of row as the
early routine business progresses, but
of sudden some one rises to remark"
or halls page to tote a piece Of paper
to the speakers desk. 1t finds its way
later into the reading clerks hands, is
unfolded and read, word falls heavily
on listening ear, question is asked to
develop its meaning, the secret bell at
the reporters table rings-and the fun
begins. Members drop their papers,
pause in their writing drift in from the
cloak rooms, little conferences are
broken off, and every one present en-
titled to the privilege holds himself in
readiness for what may turn up.
There were two interesting debates
yesterday. The first was on resolu-
tion by Judge Fleming to supply the
members with newspapers, and once
again, despite fair and sensible plea
by the gentleman from Grow Wing, the
proposition lacked votes enough to
carry it through. The main discussion
Of the session, however, occurred on a
motion to concur in the senate amend
ment to Mr.. Walsh's concurrent resolu-
tiOn for an investigation of the robbery
practiced by the coal combine. The
amendment limits the expense Of such
investigation to $500, and Mr.. Walsh
moved that it be concurred in.

examination of John Maurice Butler
was concluded in the Mcdonald will
case today. His testimony as to the
signatures Of Joseph E. Mcdonald, as
testator, and Alpheus Snow and Parke
Daniels, as attesting witnesses, was un-
shaken by the crOsS-eXamination. He
said the signatures were forgeries, both
upon the alleged will and on the carbon
copy thereof. Another important wit
ness was j. B. Caldwell, who was SON
in-law of the senator, and for long
time his private secretary. This wit
ness testified that he had seen the eX-
senator sign his name hundreds of times,
and that the signatures of the alleged
will and carbon copy shown him were
not genuine. Mrs. Mcdonald was in
court today giving the closest attention
to the proceedings.
