FRAUDULENT PENSIONERS.

An OfaciaI Circular From Commander-in-
chief Adams, OF the q. A. R.-Cases of
Fraud Must be Proven, Not Implied.
BosToN, Dec. 1.-THE following Off
cial circular has been issued at Lynn
by Chief Adams, of the
Grand Army Of the Republic:
Whereas, the president Of the United
States in his message to congress has
stated that thousands Of neighborhoods
have their well-known fraudulent PEN
sioners, and as the mission OF the
Grand Army of the Republic is to en-
courage honor and purity in public af-
fairs, therefore call the attention OF
all the comrades, posts and depart
ments Of our order to the statement OF
the president and urge them to report
to the pension commissioner, Washing
ton, any person known to be in receipt
Of pension not justly entitled to the
same under the law and to forward q
duplicate of such report to these head
quarters at once. The cases of fraud
must be proven, not implied.
The information that comes to these
headquarters daily Of comrades totally
disabled whose pensions have been
suspended, of widows whose husbands
were killed in battle. being suspended
until they can prove that their hus-
bands were naturalized citizens of the
United States, leads the commander
in-chief to believe that the statement
cannot be substantiated by facts. II
these wrongs exist the commander-in-
chief pledges the support OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic to those who at
tempt in the line Of duty to rectify
these wrongs, assuring them that the
union veterans are as anxious to guard
the treasury Of the nation in time OF
peace as they are willing to defend its
flag In time of war

GOLD SHIPMENTS.

Probability Of Another Export Movement
-Treasury Ohicial, Not Mt All Alarmed,
Ms There is Plenty OF Gold.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Trcasury Off
cials view with interest, but not alarm,
the recent shipment of $500, 900 in gold
from New York TO Europe and the
statement made that another shipment
of 100000 in gold is likely to follow
this week. The gold shipment Satur'
day was not taken from the treasury
and no notice has been received here
that the treasury will be called upon
to supply the gold for the contemplated
shipment this week. The fact how
ever, that exchange has reached a point
that makes the shipment of gold abroad
profitable, has not escaped attention,
and II exchange should remain at the
present quoted figures 4s7A@4ss con-
tinued shipments may be expected.
Saturdays treasury statement
showed that the treasury had $50, 5Oo,-
900 In gold against which there were
no outstanding gold certificates, or in
other words free gold which formed
part OF the treasury net balance OF

Visit to an Arsenal,

DAVENPORT, Iowa, May 10, 1893.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
| will try to describe the government
arsenal situated on the great Rock
Island, in the Mississippi river
There are % white stone buildings,
each covering half a block, used in
the manufacture of implements for
war. About 600 men are employed.
Besides the factories named there is u
very large issuing storehouse crowned
by lofty tower with q large clock
which strikes the hour. There are
also the commanders residence, Of
fl GERS quarters, soldiers barracks,
guard house and other large edifices.
The buildings are arranged in city
style and the roads and pavements very
clean. The main avenue is about two
miles long. There is guard station
ed at the large iron gateway and
everybody has to have a pass given to
them by the commander on the recon-
mendation of some responsible person.
The arsenal is propelled by water
from dam which gives abundance of
power. There are also steam engines
for use in case of break in dam or
other mishaps, so that the arsenal will
not have to stop.
1t is beautiful place; thousands of
people visit it yearly.
Fort Armstrong Is situated at the
head of the Island, looking down the
great river.
A cannon is fred at shutdown each
day.
A gunyard is on each side of the
main avenue; the guns are surround
ed by 95 ,324 cannon-balls and 1900
empty bombshells, which serve the
purpose of fence. There are 4Gl
cannons in the yards, some of which
are trophies of battle-l32 iron and
332 brass pieces. One Of the latter is
4inch bore and was presented to the
sovereign State of South Carolina by

a letter from Mrs. E. j. Gray, re-
celved a month ago, turned up this
week after a mislay incident to the
Worlds Fair pilgrimage. 1t contains
a printed report of a recent recital by
the music department Of Dickinson
Seminary, Of the faculty of which her
husband, Rev. DR.. E. J. Gray, is presi-
dent. The article indicates that mu-
steal talent at the Seminary is not the
least OF the many objects sought and
attained there, and that so much pa
tronage has thus been attracted that
provision Of largely increased room
has been forced upon the manage
ment.
Rey. DR.. Gray. it will be remember
ed, was the eloquent pastor of the M.
E. Church here when the present mag
nificent editice was projected and
erected. Both he and wife were ex-
ceedingly popular, and by many their
names and deeds are still spoken of in
memorial of them.
On the other hand, this feeling
is evidently reciprocal. Mrs. Gray
writes:
Frostburg is to us place filled with pleas,
ant memories of unfailing kindness shown us
years gone by.
do not know whether l am writing to the
editor of twenty years ago or not; if knew
might add much more of Frostburg and its
people.
Mrs. Gray Is cordially invited to
write again. 1.-The editor of twenty
years ago" is still here, and her many
friends will be glad to read all she can
write of "Frostburg and its people,"

Now that Mr.. Oder is back from the big
show (unless he is too Ill.o'- noise) | would
ask him if it is a fact that the women used to

cities in the east of the county, etc.. r.
Johnston.
Mr.. Pink Whiskers of Pocahontas,
to whom Mr.. Johnstor's inquiry was
respectfully referred, informs the
JOURNAL that a very early ancestor of
Titus A. Brick left an heirloom to that
effect, and that Mrs. Brick frequently
exemplifies the antique situation in q
metaphorical way. There are occa-
sions, therefore, when, to all intents and
purposes, Titus draws the skirts grace
fully to the fore with Il hand presum-
ably lily-white.
1t pleases the JOURNAL to learn in
this connection that "the large cities
IN the east Of the county" can be
depended on to give Cumberland
pointers touching those portions of
human history which are hazy.

Our advocacy Of vestibuled passenger
trains on the Cumberland and PENNSYLVANIA
railroad has met with the approval of the
people who patronize that road, and it is
now in order for the company to have its
train vestibuled, j.e., If they have any con-
slderation at all for the comfort and safety of
the large passenger traffic they are now
carrying Rerie~.
This to road that meyer in all its
long history killed a passenger.
The JOURNALS opinion is-cars on
short lines need no vestibules.
What is really wanted is quick egress
and ingress of passengers, and vesti-
bules hinder this.
This is especially the case on the c..
u p, with its numerous stations and
close connections.
Hence, if the ReceeW will drill its
readers into being ready to get off
the train when it stops; then to get off
quick, so that others can get on
qulck-not too quick for perfect
safety, but just quick enough-it will
facilitate, not retard what is most
needed-rapid transit.

James Campbell, of Barton, has been
succeeded by George Waters, of
Laurel, Md, as fuel inspector for the
Navy department. Several candi-
dates for the place allcge that Gen.
Mckaig has permitted the place to 90
out of his district, and that, therefore,
he is not native to the sawdust when
Senator German is in the arena. Even
the Cumberland Times is severely crit
icised for endorsing loss to the
county and district. 1t is said of
Campbell, however, that he admin
istered his trust honestly, faithfully,
acceptably. He was also OH all proper
occasions an answering loyalist of
Georges Creek coal-an allegiance
which may have had something to do
with the transfer of his place to an
agricultural friend of Elk Garden.

the dingus of a fireplug should be
turned the wrong way to get water
out the right way.
But he gets cold comfort from

who ought to keep his intake closed

funny:
