g., OLD PENSION CASES.
Claims Said to Have Boon 0ivon an Un
fair Advantage.

WASHINGTON, Aug. est is stated at
the pension office that since the passage of
the act of June 81, 1890, claims for pen

disabilities of service origin are alleged.
Thus it is said, about 200 900 old claims
have remained side tracked for about four
years.

animation disclosed the fact that about 20
per cent. of them were complete, and yet
In consequence of the bureau being en-
gagged in the jurisdiction of June 27, 1S90

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 2s.-MadamS L.
De Russey, of Jefferson street, near
Twenty fifth, this city, was arrested last
night, charged with having performed an
abortion on young woman who is in a
dying condition at the Episcopal hospital.
When the detectives went to Madame De
Russey's house to arrest her they found
four women suffering from the effects of
similar operations. Before they had left
with their prisoner woman appeared
prepared to undergo the operation. She
had $50 with which to pay for her treat
ment, and was taken in charge by the Off
GERS. Madame DE Russey has served a
five years sentence for criminal abortion,
and stands a fair chance now of going to
prison for much longer term.
