BRUTALLY KICKED.
Gus Abbott Nearly Kills His Wife by Blows
and Kicks.

Gus Abbott Nearly Kills His Wife by Blows
and Kicks.
About 9 o'clock this morning cries Of
murder, help. police, mingled with oaths, is
sued from house No. 734 4th street northwest A
moment later young colored woman Of rather
prepossessing appearance was forced violently
through the door and fell PROSTATE in the alley.
Behind her came burly colored man known
as Gus Abbott, the husband of the woman. who,
in the abdomen and fled. The womanwas car
ried into the house in a semi-conscious condition
and medical help was summoned. When a re-
porter Of The STAR visited the house he found
the woman in commissions upon the floor. She
was placed in bed and everything done for her
that was possible. An examination disclosed
an ugly bruise on the abdomen. The woman
was too weak to talk, but her mother told the
following story:
"This woman. Virginia Abbott, is my daugh-
ter and the wife of Gus Abbott. She ran away
from home last year and married him against
my wishes. He rented house in the northeast
ern portion of the city some time ago, but
did not care for her and for days at
time she was left alone without any food.
Several days ago she determined to come home
to me. This morning after my husband had gone
Gus Abbott broke open the front door and with
outany warning whatever ran in and commenced
to assault his wife. l reasoned with him as
best could. but he seemed wild with rage. He
threatened my life and reached for his pistol,
pistol out it would mean death to me or my
daughter, and l wrestled with him in the other
room until was almost exhausted.
When STAR reporter called at the house this
afternoon the woman resting easily. The
police have been notified to apprehend Abbott.

PROMOTIONS AND REDUCTIONS.
How They Were Classified in the Pension
Office.

As announced in THE STAR few days ago
Secretary Hoke Smith at the beginning Of the
fiscal year authorized about forty promotions
and as many reductions in the clerical
force Of the pension Office. At that
time comment made upon the fact
that the Interior Department positively re-
fused to make public the list of promotions.
although it has been invariably the rule to an
nounce promotions in all the departments.
Secretary Smith, the commissioner OF pensions
and the appointment clerk each in turn refused
to make public the list, but giving no reason
for declining
partial list of the reductions and promo
tions has leaked ont. OF the thirty-five clerks,
whose names can be learned in the number re-
duced, all but four were from northern or
western states. and the department register
shows that fifteen of them served in the Union
army navy during the civil war.
OF the 81 promotions IL we've accredited to
southern states and IL to northern or western
states. Only five out of the "a promoted are
specified as having served In the Union army or
navy during the war.
There were sixty-eight promotions and thirty
five reductions in the land Office about the same
time, but the department sseadfastly refuses to
make these public.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.
The Secretary of the Treasury Can Fix the
Market Value.


Market Value.
With India out of the silver market,
it would seem that it lies within the
power Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
to fix the market price Of that metal. That
this opinion is held by Secretary Carlisle is
apparent from his recent determination
not to accept certain offers made recently
to the department at the prices named
by the would-be sellers. Though the general
belief is that the government is compelled to
purchase 800, COO ounces Of silver each month
the Sherman law does not Yexactly make this
compulsory.
The law reads as follows:
THAT the Secretary Of the Treasury
is hereby directed to purchase, from
time to time, silver bullion to
the aggregate amount Of 4,5OO. 900 ounces, or
SO much thereof as may be offered
in each month at the market price thereof, &c.
There is no fear, therefore, that if
the department should refuse to ac-
cept silver at the price offered early
in the month and should have a large
purchase to make near the end Of the month
that the price could be inflated and that the
government would be obliged to buy at the
price which the spectators should name.

Mr.. Cleveland Goes Out on Buxxard's Bay
for a Few Hours.
BUzzARD's Bar, July 10.-President Cleve-
land took his first sail down the bay this fore
noon, leaving at 11S0 O'Clock in the Ruth. :"
Dr. Bryant believes that the trip with its change
OF environment will do the President great
deal of good.
As Mr.. Cleveland walked from Gray Gables
10 the boat landing he appeared somewhat lame
He moved very slowly.
The weather is perfect.
DR.. Bryant and Col. Lamont accompanied the
President. The party took their lunch along
with them and will probably be gone several
hours. They will undoubtedly try their luck
at bottom fishing.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BUzzARD's BAY. MASS, July l0.-The weather

July Col Lamont his "Fides Achates,'' re-
ports that the Presidents rheumatism is d.

| arm Of the Presidents advisers is within easy
call. Mr.. and Mrs. Olney spent and
hour more at Gray Gables on
Saturday afternoon. In the land of
his nativity General Olney has lost
that somewhat repellant manner which some
Washington correspondents have given him,
and which his New England friends,
who have known him for years, never
discovered. When seen Saturday, on
| leaving the President, Gen. Olney
was in his happiest mood, and chatted on all
| subjects brought to his attention with the easy
abandon of a Buzzard's Bay fisherman. He
said he found the President in excellent spirits.
though. of course, retarded in the enjoyment
Of his vacation by his rheumatic troubles.
The principal object of the Attorney Generals
| visit to his chief, in addition to paying his
respects was to find ont when he can count
upon days fishing with the President.
Mr.. Cleveland was in no condition to
fix q date, but from what the Attorney
General said of him he is satisfied that
they will have try at the bluefsh together in
| about a week.
Secretary Of War Lamont and Dr. Bryant
are pursuing the fish with remarkable ASST
| duty. They have devoted most of their time
to the bay, but on Saturday tried fresh water
for the first time.

PEOPLE WILL NOT GO.
Sunday Attendance at the Chicago Fa
Steadily Dropping.

Sunday Attendance at the Chicago Fair
Steadily Dropping.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO. July
10.-Since the attendance Of paying visitors
at the fair began to dwindle below the
so 900 mark the directors have been doing
considerable thinking Is to the best course
to pursue in the interests Of the exposition
and the wage-working multitude for whom the
officials have borne the denunciation Of Sab
batarians. The principal reason for the de-
creased attendance on Sunday is the
discovery on the part of the working
people and others who have time
only on Sunday to see the fair that they
cannot see more than half the show for the
same price Of admission charged on week days
when every section of the fair is open to
the public. The people have decided to
stay away altogether on Sunday and try to
see the fair on other days or they are waiting
for the directors to reduce the admission fee to
Is cents Sunday. Many of the broad
minded directors have come to the con-
clusion that the people will come with
their families in larger numbers than on
week days if the uniform price Of admission
Sunday is fixed at Is cents The Chicago press,
which is favorable to Sunday opening with one
exception, is advocating half price for half q
show.
Yesterdays still smaller attendance Of 43, 500.
in spite of the fine weather until evening, will
bring the directors to the acting point this
week.
THE DIRECTORY TO MEET.
special meeting of that body will be held.
it is understood, before next Sunday. The
whole Sunday opening situation will be dis
cussed and the financial aspect considered.
Some directors will be in favor of closing the
gates Sunday because they believe Sunday
fair is failure not from any fault Of
their own, but because the exposition company
cannot compel state and foreign commission
ers, individual exhibitors and the United States
government officials to keen their exhibits
open to the public on Sunday. The men in
charge of buildings and exhibits need q rest on
Sunday, and their employers will not engage
help specially for Sunday work.

MANY FIREMEN DIE.
Terrible Disaster in Chicago This
Afternoon.
COLLAPSE OF A BURNING BUILDING.
An Excited Throng of Thousands
at the Scene.
TRAPPEDTO AN AwFULDEATH

CHICAGO. July 10.-while the fremen were
at the dome of the cold storage building fight
ing what seemed an incipient fire this afternoon
the flames suddenly burst out twenty five
feet below them, about midway of the big
tower.
The imprisoned iremen, about twenty-five
in number, were forced to jump.
The distance to the roof of the building is
about 100 feet and many Of them have been
killed.
The work Of the department is at Q stand
still, while the flames are spreading.
Ambulances and assistance from the differ
ent fire departments are arriving from outside
the grounds.
Twenty thousand excited men and women
surround the building yelling like Indians.
The excitement is intense.
The tower fell at 1:55 pm, and as 1t
crashed down upon the bodies Of the pros
trate men lying upon the roof it went
through to the bottom, taking with it the
bodies of the unfortunate men who had just
made their terrible leap. This carried the
firemen through the roof into the furnace Of
fame which WAS raging underneath.
The fire then broke out all around the thinly
constructed building, and in five minutes it
was ablaze ali over.
SECOND DEATH-rRAP.
About fifty fremen who had gotten on the
roof to receive the bodies Of their unfor-
tunate brothers were caught in this sec
ond death trap. But one ladder was
to be had. and they endeavored to get away
from the roof by this route. number Of them
fell to the ground, a distance Of nearly
feat 4 Sc al
down by the caving Of the roof.
The fire is famed by a twenty-mile breeze
and is spreading to the paint shops directly to
the south.
The cold storage building stood on the ex-
treme Western edge of the grounds near the
Gath street station, and but for this fact il
would have communicated its flames quicker
to the other buildings.
vast amount of ammonia used in making
artificial ice has added to the fire, and the
flames are spreading with great rapidity.
The fire department is almost hopelessly par.
alyzed by the loss of their men.
The Columbian Guards are endeavoring to
keep the crowds back, but il is impossible and
an excited multitude, increased now to 81, 600
surrounds the building at = safe distance.
The estimate Of loss Of human life are at
present unobtainable with any degree of &C.
curacy.
TWENTY, PERHAPS MORE, KILLED.
1t is safe to say that twenty Of the firemen
have been killed, while rumors Of the loss reach
ing thirty-fve human lives are current
A number of visitors were in the lower part
of the building together with the workmen en-
ployed. and it is not known whether all have
escaped
The catastrophe is the greatest calamity
which has ever occurred in connection with the
fair.

PENSIONS SUSPENDED.
Many Pensioners Given Sixty Days to
File Doctors Certificates
They Must Show Total Disability or Their
Names VIII Be Dropped-f Salts
factory, Then the Medical Board.

The pension bureau has notified great many
pensioners throughout the entire country who
are drawing pensions under the act of June "a,
1880. known as the dependent pension act. that
payment of their pensions will be suspended
for sixty DAYS, during which time they are re-
quired to show cause why they should continue
to draw pensions.
The testimony necessary to prevent their
being dropped from the rolls is the certificate
of a reputable physician, attested by two wit
nesses. to the effect that the pensioner is pre-
cluded from active labor owing to injuries or
disability not the result. Of his own vicious
habits.
In case no attention is paid to the depart
ment's notification within sixty days the PEN
sioner will be dropped from the rolls. On the
other hand should the necessary certificate,
properly drawn up and signed, be forwarded to
the pension bureau the pensioner will be re-
quested to appear before the local board Of
medical examiners for examinations as to his
condition.
Of Secretary Smith, which created such
q sensation, to the effect that a PEN
sioner under the act of June "a,
1890, drawing a pension for total DISABLE
ity must be shown to be physically incapable
Of manual labor. The board of review ap-
polnteo 10 carry INTO enect tnat oeciklon Ii now
going over all the cases of June "a, 1890, prob
ably 1000 in number, and selecting those
cases which show in tine record that the man
may not be incapacitated for manual labor.
In the cases thus selected the pensioners are
notified, as before stated. to prove their total
disability to the department or cease to draw
pensions Under Secretary Smiths ruling the
department holds that a man who is able to
work should not draw pension for total dis
ability.
1t is estimated that about 1000 pensioners
have received notice of suspension Of payment
since the board began its work.

Choosing Delegates to the Virginia Demo-
cratic Convention.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, July 10.-A number of
counties throughout the state are electing dele
gates today to the state democratic con-
vention. So far only lao delegates have
been selected. but today's work will probably
swell the list to nearly 500, about half the con-
vention
1t is impossible to gain a fair estimate of the
strength developed by the candidates so
far, but the indications are that Col
Chas. T. O'Ferrall will not come into
the convention with as many delegates az his
friends had hoped for. They still claim, how
ever, that he will be nominated on the first
ballot
The Tyler and Buford men claim that many
of the delegates already chosen and claimed by
the OFerrall men will not vote for him even on
the first ballot.
When it is known how the delegates that are
being chosen today stand, fair estimate of the
relative strength Of the three candidates can
be drawn.
