tention at the time. She was riding bv
about the sixth time, when She suddenly
| alghted from her carriage, and rushing
up to a lady who was about to enter the
Postohice, proceeded to beat her abont
the head with a parasol. She struck sew
eral blows before bystanders could inter-
fere. At last the women were separated.
and Mrs. Bawson entered her carriage
and was driven away.
The other lady, who proved to be
Rawson's present wife, was escorted
down Main street by gentleman. Mrs.
Rawson swore out warrant for the
arrest of Mrs. Rawson No. l late this
afternoon. Mrs. Rawson No. / was taken
to the police station and gave bond for
her appearance at the Police Court to-
morrow at o'clock.

leading business men Of this city, but

at Stockton. Before Rawson had gone
through all his property he was divorced
from his wife, but married again in few
days after the decree was granted. Later
on he was divorced from his second wife.
After being discharged from the asy-
lum he wrote book entitled "The
Junior Partner" which received good
many flattering press notices. Rawson's

special examiners to hereafter make ex-

C'Neill of Missouri, speaking for the
majority members and the reasons for
making the proposed changes, said:
There is no disposition on the part of
the majority Of this House to take PEN
sion away from man who deserves it,
from any man who became disabled
while in the Union army. The country
wants the pension lists reduced, but it
does not want single worthy pensioner
stricken from the rolls. 1t seems to the
committee that certain persons are en-
titled to pensions, but it should stop
th ere."
Grout of Vermont one of the two
Republican members of the sub-com-
mittee, said: The Republican minority
is against the amendments, and will
oppose them in the full committee and
in the House."

PENSION LAW.
Important Changes Proposed by a
House Committee


House COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - The Demo-
cratic members of the House sub-Com-
mittee on appropriations have adopted
amendments changing the pension law
of 1880. Following are the principal
changes: That no widow shall receive a
pension under the Act Of 1890 unless
married to a soldier prior to 1870: that no
person shall receive a pension under the
Act OF 1880 unless disabled in the service
from manual labor and in receipt Of an
income of less than $500 year, and that
no nonresident of the United States
shall receive a pension unless actually
disabled in service.
Another amendment provides for the
appointment of commission to con-
slider necessary notifications in the pen
sion laws and report at the next Con-
gress.
The amendments were adopted by a
vote of 3 to ,, the Democratic members,
Mutchler, O'Nel and Livingston voting
aye, and Grout and Bingham no. The
hight against the amendments will be
carried by the Republican members into
the full Committee on Appropriations,
which IS yet to act upon the bill. 1t is
said to be likely there are some Demo-
cratic members of the full committee who
viii vote against their associates on the
subcommittee. If the amendments get
out of committee, lively fight in the
House is certain.
The bill as framed by the majority Of
the subcommittee also does away with
the pension agencies throughout the
country and provides for the payment of
pensions by checks directly from the
Treasury Department, abolishes exam
nations of applicants by surgeons, and
