HIS SKULL CRUSHED.
An Old Soldier Murdered by an Unknown
Negro.


On Thursday morning, July H. the body OF
a man supposed to be J. III. Swift, veteran, was
found little way above Rosslyn, Va, at the end
of the Aqueduct Bridge on the Falls Church
road. Two young ladies were walking down
the road and were attracted by groans from a
nearby thicket. They also discovered blood
stains at the side of the road, and they went to
a house short distance away aud told gen
tleman what they had seen and heard. In
vestigaton revealed the fact that a man,
dressed in the uniform of soldier, had been
assaulted with a club, dragged into the brush
but a short distance from the road and there
pounded upon the head with stone until his
skull had been crushed.
The man was alive when first discovered,
but was dead before he could be removed from
the little branch in which he lay. When
searched letters addressed to J. II. Swift were
found in his pockets. He is thought to have
been an inmate of the Hampton (Va.J Soldiers
Home. Indications show that he was struck in
the road and then dragged into the brush,
which was so thick as to completely screen the
body from the road, less than 80 feet away.
An unknown negro was seen walking with
Swift All hour or two before be was found muir
dered and he undoubtedly killed the old vet
eran for the little money he had on his person,
for the pockets were rifed. A Coroncr's jury
WAS at once summoned, who brought in YER
diet substantially with the facts given above.
Swift buried by the Grand Army Relief
Association in Arlington National Cemetery on
Friday, July IA.

BERING SEA ARBITRAToRs.

The advance guard OF the returning Bering
Sea Commission has arrived in Washington, in
the persons of Maj. Z. w. Halford, ex-Private
Secretary to President Harrison, and Mr. J.
Stanley Brown, son-in-law OF the late Presi-
dent Garfield. The latter gentleman made but
a brief stay at the Capital. and then went to
his home at Mentor, o. Maj. Halford spent a
week in Washington. going hence to visit
friends at indianapolis and to arrange his
private business affairs, after which he will
return to Washington for assignment to duty
as Paymaster in the Army. 1t is probable
that he will be stationed at Omaha.
Maj. Halford believes that the arbitration
will be concluded in much shorter time than
the three months allowed by the treaty under
which the proceedings are being conducted, as
the arbitrators are all anxious to expedite the
work. The impression in Paris, derived from
the questions put from time to time by the
arbitrators during the course Of the long argu-
ment, is that the arbitration will result in a
decision recognizing the property right of the
United States in tine seals to q more or less
limited degree, and recommending some inter-
national agreement for the protection of seal
life

GEN. ENOCHS DEAD.
Another Veteran Passes Away While
Asleep.

Another Veteran Passes Away While
Asleep.
Congressman William H Enochs, of the 10th
Ohio District was found dead in bed at his home
in Ironton, O., on the morning of July ID.
When he retired the evening previous he was
in his usual health. He had suffered with an
attack of grip, which had affected his heart.
Gen. Enochs enlisted as private in che 5th
w. Va. and passed through all the grades to
that of aforementioned of that regiment.
When the 9TH and 9th w. Va. were consolidated
in November. 1864, forming the 1st w. Va. Vet
Vols Gen. Enochs became the Colonel Of the
new regiment, which position he held until the
muster-out of the organization, July 9, 1865.
He was brevetted Brigadicr-Gcnera for gal
lantry in action. He was 81 years old aud a
native of Ohio.
He was elected to the SD Congress as Re-
publican. and made one OF the best working
members in that body. He was reelected to
the SD Congress by over 1000 majority,
although the district did not give half that
much majority for the National Republican
ticket, showing that he was a very popular
man with the people of his district.

by Mr.. Joy. On the first returns Mr.. Joy had
67 majority. but on a recount, demanded by
ONeill, Joy had 400 majority. Joy now claims
that the transcript of the testimony taken
during the recount, which had been sent to
the Government Printing Office by ONeill,
and of which Joy had been furnished carbon
copy, has been interlined, erased and altered
to such an extent as to absolutely falsify the
original record there being over 1000 altera-
tons Of the original record. Mr.. Joy says he
cannot tell what effect these alterations will
have on the result. for, although he gained 400
votes on the recount these falsifcations may
alter matters. He will take effective means to
expose the fraud when the time comes.

SUSPENDED PENSIONERS.
Twenty-Five Hundred Veterans Must Prove
Their Disability.

A statement was issued by the Pension
Bureau last week which says that up TO date
$500 pensioners have been suspended under
Secretary Hoke Smiths recent ruling, which
requires benefciaries under the act of June
q, $780, to prove total disability where they
are drawing pensions for total disability, sig
month.
These suspensions are not confined to any
particular locality, but are distributed through
out the entire country. Nopensioner has as yet
been dropped from the rolls under this decision,
for the reason that the 60 days allowed them in
which to make proof of their disability has not
yet expired. Many of the suspended cases will
not result in taking away the pension of the
soldier, but may be confined to- a reduction of
the pension according TO the state of his dis
ability and its cause, may be shown by the
proof the pensioner may hereafter furnish.

Astronomer Hill, of the Naval Observatory
got sight Of the new comet OIL Sunday night,
July 8, and has since been taking careful OBJ
servations of the visitor, with view to deter
mining its identity and direction. As the
comet appears early in the evening and sets
about 10 o'clock, opportunities for observation
are very limited. The comet is at present
nearly in the constellation of the Great Bear.
and seems 10 BIO growing brighter, so that in a
few days it may possibly be seen with the
naked eye. After few more observations
Mr.. Hill hopes to be able to calculate its orbit.
and as comets Gao only be iden iified by the
paths in which they travel, he will be able 70
tell whether it is a new comet or has visited
these heavens heretofore

There two kinds of veterans, and the
honest veterans far outnumber the frauds.
They may not be able to control the action of
the Grand Army ampment-slthough it is
to be hoped they will do so-but they will be
found standing as squarely and as bravely by
the side of President Cleveland and the honest
veteran at the head of the Pension Office as
they stood by the flag 80 years ago.

principal committee, that Of Ways and Means.
They have decided to remove Representative
Springer, who held the position of Chairman
Of the committee during the last Congress- and
promote to that place William L. Wilson, Of
West Virginia, who stood fourth on the COM
mittee. But Mr.. Springer and his friends do
not propose that he shall be sheIved in this
way, and they are writing numerous letters to
Speaker Crisp President Cleveland, and others,
and employing all their influence to change
this decision. On the other hand there are a
great many who are not pleased with the
probable selection of Mr.. Wilson, and they are
making their opposition known

The Board 10 consider proposals 70: con-
structing submarine boat has reported to the
Secretary Of the Navy that only two appear to
promise practical results. These are known as
the Holland boat and the Baker boat. The
beats selected for examination have some
points of resemblance in general aspect. They
are of the same size, measuring nearly $50 tons
when submerged. Each uses steam as the pro-
polling power when on the surface, and cleo
trieity supplied by storage-battery charged
by the main engines when submerged. When
they dive under the water both boats house
their smokestacks and seal all openings with
iron plates. The Board desires an opportunity
to make further investigation into the merits
of these boais, and Secretary Herbert has
granted the request.

1t is the Impression of Senators and members
OF Congress now in Washington that the extra
session Of the SD Congress, called to meet Aug.
2, will continue probably until Aug Is. 1894:
over year. That this impression is pretty
general is evidenced by the fact that Members
and Senators are shaping their affairs for con-
tinuous session without intermission, except
for the usual holiday recess until well into
Midsummer Of the next year.

The storm on the Atlantic Coast.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Herald's Charleston (S. C.) special says: While somewhat demoralized by the storm which swept up the coast Saturday, Charleston is not seriously injured. For few minutes at time the wind blew at a 64-mile rate. The shipping in the harbor took the alarm early and either went up the river or else was secured at the piers.
 Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross society. says the condition of aff ,irs on the sea islands has not been exaggerated. She thinks Saturdays storm did not damage property, but it drenched everything, and she fears con onsiderable pneumonia will be the re- suit. She says the society is giving rations to more than 2,000 persons every day.
