Statistics of the Present Quar-

The quarterly pension paying time is on,
and the United States pension office on
West Maryland street resembles a big bee
hive. The first vouchers were honored at
clock yesterday morning, and long before
that hour many stragglers were about the
doors. When the doors were thrown open
the rush was unusually heavy. More PEN
sioners called for their money than have
ever done so before at the Indianapolis Of
fee. 1t is said that since the last quarterly
payment over one hundred pensioners have
been dropped. and nearly five hundred have
had their payments held up pending an in
vestigation. This caused much hardship,
as many of the veterans thus barred out
had to borrow money TO get home on. Some
of the old soldiers, after receiving their
checks took occasion to shake hands across
saloon bars, and as a consequence the police
were on the lookout for SharperS. NO rob-
berries were reported, and the police re-

with which to cash the checks, and there
was some complaint at this, but all the

During the day there were 3,452 pensions,
amounting TO $132.S92, paid over the counter.
This is the largest number ever paid over

There were 5,210 pensions, amounting to

the rate of 10 900 a day. The total pension

MRS. PIERCE'S DEATH.
Went to William Browns Room and
Died of Morphine Poisoning.

Minnie Pierce, a married woman aged
twenty-six years, died of morphine poison
ing at No. q Willard street about 8
o'clock yesterday morning. The woman was
separated from her husband and made her
living by doing domestic work. For some
months past it appears that she has been
infatuated with a named William
Brown, who roomed in the house where she
died. Brown was recently discharged from
the Insane Asylum. He was with Mrs
Pierce Friday night. but claims to know
nothing of her death.
She walked to the door of the Willard
street house yesterday morning and in
qured for Brown. She was told that he was
not in and demanded entrance to his room.
She threw herself on the bed with an eX-
clamation that she felt bad, and in a few
hastily summoned and recognized the
symptoms of poison. but could do nothing
for the sick woman. She died in a half
hour.
The coroner was called and had the re-
mains taken to Hermann's morgue, where
they will remain until the sister of the
dead woman. Mrs. Scott Clover of Acton,
the mother of an infant child, which is be-
ing cared for by her sister. The man
Brown in a statement to the coroner last
night conveyed the impression on the officer
that Mrs. Pierce had been the victim of
q plot to poison her. He claims there is q
man in Indianapolis who threatened recent
ly to take the woman's life If she did not
refrain from associating with him Brown
The coroner will! order a post mortem eX-
animation of the body.

as part of the plant; such as rolls, ingot
SKIS, etc. The report covers 100 pages

THEY WILL REMAIN
Officials of the Hospital and Dis
pensary to Serve Their Terms.
School Closed on Account of Diphtheria
"A Job for DawsOn-SalOOn
Keepers Paying Up.

The Board Of Health decided yesterday TO
make no appointments in either the hos
pital or dispensary service until the terms
of the superintendent of these two branch
es expire. This means that the superintend-
ents Of the hospital and dispensary will re-
main in office until Dec. /, 1894 President
Hays, of the board, stated last night that
the old Board OIL Health had allowed the
Republican officers TO fill out their terms
during the Democratic administration.
While the board does not necessarily be-
lieve that this esta blishes a precedent. yet
1t believes the interests of the public would
be best subserved by the retention in office
of the forces until the terms expire 1t is
the unanimous opinion Of the medical pro-
fession that the officers should be allowed
TO fill out their terms.
The board was greatly surprised at its
meeting when the committee which had
passed upon Hudsons merit as plumber,
after examining him, asked that the COM
mittee be allowed to rescind it's action in
passing him. The committee, which con-
sisted of two plumbers, said it thought that
Hudson was not a fit man for the place.
although scarce a week ago, after exam
lining him, it reported that he was qualified
for the position. 1t will be remembered that
Association called on the Mayor few days
ago and said the association had ''rescind-
ed' the action OF the committee which had
passed Hudson, and, in a second breath,
told the Mayor that the examining COM
mittee was not appointed by the associa-
ton. The Board of Health decided to take
no further action in the matter, but will
wait till after the Council meeting on Mon
day before committing itself. The Council
will no doubt abolish the office.
This examining committee, composed or
j. j. Freaney, James McGauley and j. 5.
Farrell, yesterday sent to the Journal a
letter, in which they say:
I'VE examined Mr. Hudson, as provided
for in the foregoing section, a plumber
and mechanic, not personalities, and he
the board. We have favorS to ask of
Mr.. Hudson, nor have we ever had any diff
hculty with Mr.. Judd, the present inspector.
Finally, we took no part whatever in the
appointment of Mr.. Hudson, and acted in
the matter any representative master
plumber should do under similar circum-
Chances"
Superintendent Jones, of the School
Board, appeared before the doctors to talk

q. located at Park avenue and Eighth
street After explaining the situation, the
Health Board concluded to order the school
closed until it can be disinfected and some
necessary repairs made. This is the same
school that was closed last winter on &C
count of diphtheria. The doctors were of the
opinion that there was no danger TO the
other schools.

LETTER-WRITING BURGLARS
We're Not Entirely Pleased with Their
Visit at Wulschner's.

Last Friday night the residence of Emil
Wulschner, at Meridian and st. Clair streets,
was entered by what seemed to be
hungry as we'll as thirsty lot of burglars.
The family were away at Asheville n. c.,
and only a colored domestic at the house.
The burglars broke through a window in
the rear of the house and proceeded to help
themselves to canned fruits and produce in
general. The door leading to the dining
room was so securely fastened they did not
get it opened and the rest of the house
escaped their depredatiols. Although the
midnight visitors were fond of drink and
although they carried several cases of wine
and beer away with them they did not make
enough noise to wake the domestic, but
left in a grocery book the following note:
Say you Cd id chumpS, you want to
have that middle door open the next time
we call at your residence. We had a very
pleasant time drinking wine and beer while
visiting you. Goodbye.
