THAT GREAT REFORM.
Worthy Pensioners Suffer While the
Mighty Work Goes On.

I. SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 20.-The
little office of the president of the Elk
aiming Board of Pensions on King street
is becoming receptacle for the tears OF
destitute and broken hearted men since
the so called pension reform was begun.
Within a week five pensioners have
called upon DR.. Parkhurst for advice, at
the same time handing him notices from
their pensions had run out. The condi-
ton of these men is worse than when
they applied for pensions, yet they have
been notified that "Your medical certifi-
cate shows that you are no longer en-
titled to draw a pension.
One old pensioner, who had been draw
ing So month, was accompanied by his
wife, who, between her sobs, declared
that the paltry Sc was all that stood be-
tween them and the poorhouse. An old
man employed by Bishop Huntingdon
on his Hadley place, was another whose
ssreward for services in the war" has
been stopped just when he needed it
most. His right side is paralyzed and
almost useless.
NJ. F. Cheeseman has hardly slept OF
eaten since he received sword that his
monthly payment of Sc had been stopped.
1t has paid his doctors bills since he be-
gan to draw it about two years ago, while
he and his wife, both over so, have beer
supported by daughter. All of these
disappointed veterans have had fresh
certificates drawn up and will forward
them to Washington.

the Garnet, speaking about the reported
Mohican-A Alexandria incident, said: Il
do not see how it can be true, and know
that it cannot be if the date given in the
press dispatches is to be believed. On

and went into Sand Point with her. We
both came to anchor, and remained

9th. met her again shortly after, and
when we left Dutch Harbor on Sunday.
July 9, she was alongside of a collier.
She was to resume coaling Monday
morning, and could hardly finish that
day. Up to that time she was not dis
abled by any means. On June 18th we
heard that the Pioneer had been seized
and taken to st. Paul's. We went there
to investigate, and found the report I'M
true Subsequently she was sighted by
the Nymph, and we also heard of her on

That Rum Law Hasn't Been Overthrown
After All.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 20.-A bomb
shell was exploded yesterday afternoon
in the camp of the opponents of dispen,-
sary law. Circuit Judge Hudson week
ago declared the dispensary law uncon-
stirutional and ordered the establish
ment at Darlington closed. Yesterday AS
sociate Justice Pope, who was first attor-
ney general under TilIman, and is of the
same san e political faith, issued a restraining
order, which says ''The order in said
cause, dated July I, and signed by His
Honor Judge J. II. Hudson, is hereby
stayed and suspended until the further
order of this court"
This means that Judge Hudson's opin-
ion is of no force, and that the Darling
ton dispensary can now open and contin-
ue selling until the case is heard by the
supreme court in November. The opin-
ion affects only the case at Darlington,
and has no bearing upon the law as now
in operation elsewhere in the state.

Mr.. MILllKEN's VIEWS.
What Congress Should Do and the Pros
pect of Its Being Done.

AUGUSTA, July 20.-During his recent
visit to this city, Hon. Seth L. Milliken
was seen by Journal reporter and asked
his views as to the work of the APP
preaching special session of Congress.
81 feel,'' he said, ''that we shall haves a
hot time and, fear, will not accomplish
what the country expects of u.s."
ssWhat should Congress do to relieve
the country of its present distressed con-
dition?"
ut should promptly pass resolution
pledging itself to neither repeal nor alter
the present tariff laws, then repeal the
purchasing clause of the silver law, then
adjourn until the regular session in De-
cember. That would restore confidence,
establish credit, put into circulation the
immense amount Of money now with
drawn from business channels through
fear that the present administration and
majority in Congress will honestly put
into law its promises to the people, made
in it's national platform IA groundless
fear / think), revive our tagging indus
tries, and set in motion the many new
enterprises that have been discontinued
since the November election"
What are your hopes that this will be
done?"
'sThey are very much weaker than
wish they were. There will be three ele-
ments in the silver contest, the sound
currency men, who will comprise a large
majority of the Republicans, the silver
producers who want high price for
their products, and the debtor classes
principally in the South and some parts
Of the West. 1t will not, however, be a
triangular fight, for the two elements
last named will combine against the re-
peal of the Sherman law, unless they get
something worse, as for instance the re-
peal of the state ebank tax. in its place.
The President willEbe obliged to depend
mainly upon the Republicans to support
him in his position on the silver ques-
ton, and fear he will be unable to hold
enough of his own party within the
traces, to give us immediate success, if
success at all, without some such sacri
fee as / have mentioned. Indeed the
administration is weakened in it's fight
on the silver question by its position on
the tariff. Evils in politics, like diseases
are unhappily contagious, and the party
which proposes to demoralize the BUSH
ness of the country by an attack upon
the wise laws which have given it an
unparalleled prosperity has not the NOR
al power to control its forces for good in
other matters"

MAN OF MANY MURDERS.
DIR. Meyer Says in Court that the Title
Doesn't Fit Him.

New YORK, July 20.-The enigmatic
DR.. Henry c. R. Meyer was brought from
the TombsIdown Centre street to the court
of general sessions this morning, despite
the statement of Charles W. Brooke that
he had arranged with District Attorney
Nicoll for a postponement of the plead
ing till Tuesday next. He pleaded not
guilty.
DIR. Never has no counsel yet, although
| he was accredited with having retained
Brooke & Brooke and the doctor-chem-
ist-lawyer. J. w. O'Sullivan. Mr.. Brooke
says that he has not been retained, but
has been requested to take hand in be-
half of the physician, and is holding the
matter in allegiance while he investigates
the case.
81 think it is case. to win," said Mr..
Brooke today, ''but it will be long drawn
out, and would not feel disposed to go
into it unless am going to be able to de-
| vote to it such attention as it should re-
ceive.
1.-THE case of Meyer differs from those
of Harris and Buchanan. 1t is mineral
| poisoning that is charged against DR..
Meyer, while the poisons alleged to have
been used by Harris and Buchanan were
vegetable poisons.'
!, Julius Dahlman of 16 Whitehall street,
| knew DR.. Meyer in Denver in 1887, and
he states that Meyer lived with drug
gist named Klotz, a Chicago actress, who
was known as Mrs. Klotz, and two other
| women.
| Klotz became i'll and seemed to be
wasting away. Meantime the story got
about that Meyer was the same Meyer
who was tried for the poisoning of Gro
Ger Gelderman in Chicago. DR.. Meyer
| disappeared from Denver, Klotz died
| about tws months later and his wife got
| $1,000 insurance on his life.

EN0LAND's GREATEST STRIKE.
1t Will Come Soon If the Miners Aae Not
Satisfied.

LONDON, July 20.-The Miners FEEDER
alton continued its conference at Biz
mingham today. Upon the action of the
conference depends the question whether
there shall be inaugurated the greatest
strike England has ever seen. The con-
ference yesterday decided that the pro-
posed reduction would not be acceptable
to the miners. In some mining districts,
the men were not notified that their
wages would be reduced. The Federation
was well aware of the attempts Of the
mine owners to have an extra quantity OF
coal mined to form stock that could
be disposed of at an advanced price
should strike be inaugurated. Today
action was taken by the conference to
block this scheme. 1t was decided to
call out all the men who had not received
notice of the reduction. These men will
be idle. until the expiration. on July %,
of the general notice of reduction, when
they will be allowed to return to work.
A deputation of miners will meet the
mine owners in London tomorrow for
the purpose of discussing the wage
question. Hopes are entertained that an
agreement may be arrived at.
The MatabeIes Rising.
LONDON, July 20.-Dispatches received
here from Zanzibar state that the situa-

Matabele warriors who are under the
rule of King I4obengula have risen
against the whites and threaten to drive
them from the country. The British
settlers and prospectors and other whites
are making their way to Fort Victoria as
quickly as possible, where preparations
are being made to defend the position
against attack.
Fort Victoria, which is short distance
to the north of the Lunde river, lies al
most directly to the east of Bulawayo,
the site of King Lobeaglla's kraal.

HEAVY HITTING DID IT.
PcrtIands Made Twelve Rune While
the Bostons Made Six

The Portlands found but little trouble
in defeating the Boston Reds yesterday.
AS usual the Browns made the most err
rors but they accomplished their old
feat of hitting out a game. Young Pat
terson was in the box for the Portlands
and he kept the hits well scattered. 10
his skill and timely hitting by the Fort
lands can be given the credit of our VIC
tory. Several of the players gave fine
exhibitions of ball playing as can be
seen by the appended score. Smith OF
the Portlands accepted fourteen out OF
fifteen chances at shortstop while the
venerable Mr.. Burke was decidedly in
the game. McAuley caught a great
game and Arthur Whitney, formerly OF
the New Yorks, gave one of the finest
exhibitions of fielding that has been
seen here this season. Meagher, one OF
the greatest second base men in, the
minor leagues has we'll earned the title
of ''the second McPhee.' Tom o.
Brion, captain of last years champions,
is out of his sphere. He ought to be in
the big league.
The Portlands had an easy time win
ming the game. In the first inning Slater
raped the ball into the tree at centre
for two bases. Burns struck out and
Smith was retired on a pop fly. Jack
Burke then came TO the rescue with
single scoring Slater. Clymer was hit
by pitched ball and went to first while
Burke was given second. Mains cleared
the bases with a drive to deep right for
two bases. Burrill retired and the score
stood-Portlands, 8; Bostons. 0.
The visitors gained lap in the third.
Kiley singled and Burke caught FarrelPs
fly and held Kiley on first. McAuley hit
to Clymer who touched Kiley out at
second. When McAuley went to second
Mahoney made a wild throw and Mac
reached third. O'Brien was given his
base on balls and he promptly stole
second. whitney hit for a single and
O'Brien and McAuley scored. The score
now stood-Portlands, 3: Bostons, 2.
The Bostons got the lead in the fourth.
Flack singled and Meagher in trying to
sacrifice hit to Patterson who threw
Flack out at second which left Meagher
safe at first. Kiley was given his base
on balls, making two men on bases.
Charley Farrell didn't mince matters but
= - II. . LII o,,o,. +ta avtrau,a loft field
corner of the fence for a home run and
the score read-Bostons, 5; Portlands, 3.
The Portlands. however, took the lead
in the fifth and after that were not
headed. Patterson led off and was out
at first Slater got his base on balls and
stole second. Burns hit to Guinasso
who threw wide and Slater scored.
Smith hit to centre and when Burns
tried to take third on the single he
found Whitney waiting for him with the
ball. Burke singled and with two on
bases Clymer hit for home run over the
fence clearing the bases.
In the eighth doubles by Mains and
Burrill and singles by Slater and Burns
gave us two more, while in the ninth
singles by Smith, Burke, Clymer and
Mahoney, passed ball by McAuley and
wild throw gave us three more runs
and the game.
A sensational one hand catch, a fine
throw by Mahoney and Burke's outfeld-
ing were the features. The score:
PoRTLANDs.
