THE INJURED.
Some Interesting information About the
 Old Ford's Theatre Disaster.
RELIEF FUND.
How 1t Has Been About 015,OOO Paid Onf--Bad
 Gases Reported.

l WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3l. The
 committee in charge of the disburse-
 ment of the fund raised for the re-
 lief of the victims of the old Ford s
 Theatre disaster June 9, give some interesting information relating to
 their work and the recipients of the public's benevolence. The fund subscribed will amount to $30, 900, of
 which half has been disbursed. For tha funeral expenses in each of the twenty two cases of death the sum of $250 was allowed. Besides the money subscribed by the citizens, which is
 being paid to the widows at the rate liof $25 week, there is still due the widows of G. M. Arnold, s. B. Banes, J. E. Chapin, J. Boyd Jones,
 D. c. Jordan and F. B. Loftus nearly $500 from the clerks of the office, who have mutual associa- ton with a membership of 291, pledged to pay subscription of $1 to the widow of any member in the
 association at his death. This or ganization has been in existence since November 12, 1881, and has expended about $25 .000
 or $30,000. Every clerk whose clothes were ruined in the accident who would accept the gift has been provided with new suit at cost of $25 to $45. The widows of six of the dead have returned to their former homes with their families.
 Mrs. Ames located at Ionia, Ia. i;
 Mrs. Gage, at Peteskey, Mich. Mrs.
 J. Boyd Jones, Evansville, Ind. j;
 Mrs. Rose Jordan, Sparta, Va. :;
 Mrs. Mamie McFall. Lynchburg,
 Va, and Mrs. Laura Miller, Young
 Hickory, 0. Fifty clerks who vera injured are still absert from
 duty on leaves extending from thir- ty to ninety days. Capt. Miller, who is still in the city, had both legs broken and received internal in juries. In the past week two or three carbuncles have broken out on his body. This is one of the worst
 cases of all Capt. Miller still re- ceives salary and help from the citizens committee, but his expenses are very heavy and there is no way of reducing them. He is compelled to have two trained nurses and two doctors waiting on him. o. B. Brown, chief of the office, located in the city postofice building, said a number of clerks will not be able to write and discharge the same duty as they did before the acci- dent, but so fast as they report for duty he will try to put them at something that they can do, thus enabling them to draw their sal aries. There are some eases where the clerks will not be able to return to work before their lease expires. In such cases he said it was pretty hard to tell what would te done with them, as the law will not permit any leave with pay over ninety days.

Ligon was such an overbearing and disa greeatle man that she was forced to leave him some months ago on this account. She sued for divorce, and, during the trial here to-day, Ligon made some very sian. derous remarks about her in the presence of her son, Liue Richard. son, who gave it the lie. Ligor called young Richardson name that decent man cares not to re. peat, drew his pistol and fired, anc was in the act of shooting again when Clark Richardson rushed tc the rescue and cut Ligon's throat from one ear to the other with his knife, thus saving bis brother's life

TWENTY-FIVE MIL IONS.
A Family Falls Heir to Rig Estate-
 Property of Philip Keinhardt.

Property of Philip Keinhardt.
 BUFFALO, July 3l.-A family living in this city may become the possessors of more than $25, ,000,- GOO. They claim to be the heirs of the late Phillip Reinnardt who died intestate in India about forty years ago. The relationship can easily be shown, as it is all on record in Germany, and although there are many claimants to this immense property the fam fly in this city will become one of the richest in the United States. For over forty years the vast estates have been unclaimed. until short time ago, when an advertisement appeared in one of the daily papers asking for intelligence of any heirs of Phillip Reinnardt. To this ad- vertisement the family in N sity responded and found they were ii rect heirs to vast possessions. They are now engaged in proving their kinship with ;he dead millionaire. A letter from Bombay lately received. states the Reinhardt fortune is undoubted- ly the property of this branch of the family. Phillip Reinhardt had one brother and three sisters. The de- scendants of one of the sisters live at Springfield, O., those of another at Union Hill, N. J.

WAsHINsToN, D. G., July 29.-- sx-Assistant Secretary Bussey and ex-C Commissioner Tanner gave a very positive and circumstantial contradiction to Deputy Commis- sioner Bell s statements, tc the effect that sixteen employees of the pen sion bureau, whose pensions were illegally increased in 1889 by Com missioner Tanner, are still drawing pensions at an increased rate in con tempt of specific instructions given by Assistant Secretary Bussey that the old and lower rating be re. stored, and the further stateme nt that these orders of Assistant Sec retary Bussey had been secreted and only discovered by Commissioner Lochren. An examination of the alleged decision discloses the fact ths. only four of them bear any specific date. Five are dated Au- gust, 1889, the others having no date whatever. All the cases ex. cept two are signed by Assistant Secretary Bussey, one of these hav- ing no signature and the other his name in type- writing. When the attention of ex-Commissioner Tanner was called to the matter he stated very em- phatioally he had never seen the al- legged decisions, although he re- mained in office until September F, 1889, nor had he ever heard of them until to-day. Ex-Assis.ant Secretary Bussey was seen at his offics and said no such decisions as were referred to and quoted had ever been promulgated from his office. During the Tanner investi- gation he had on his own motion taken up a number of cases of pension employees whom he believed had been illegally rerated and wrote out a decision in each case. They were formulated with a view to being shown to the president and Secretary Noble as aids in the investigation and in un- derstanding the cases, and also with a view to subse quent official promul- gation if they met with approval. They did not meet with the approval of the secretary, who decided upon another course of procedure, as indicated in a letter to congress on the subject, of cases written up, signed by MT. Bussey, simply, he said, to identify them to the president and Secretary Noble. After it had been decided not to issue the decisions prepared General Bussey says he put them in his desk, where they remained for many months On one occasion he showed them to Commissioner Raum, who asked permission to take a number of them to his office and look them over at his leisure. This permission was granted and about twenty out of the fifty or sixty de- cisions were taken away. Gen. Raum had no doubt forgotten to re- turn them and so ''the secreted de- cisions" were discovered and the conclusion instantly reached that large sums of money had been paid out contrary to the instructions contained therein. Gen. Bussoy stated with earnestness the alleged decisions were not decisions, nor were they ever copied and promulgated as such, as was well understood by Gen. Baum and the chief officers of the pension bureau.

SUSIE,
The only one who ever
loved me-and [ shot her.
JAMES WILLIAMS.

was struck with horror as reaC
the strange inscription. The story
poss ssed a peculiar fascination
tor me. From my guide, I learned
the facts.
Years before when James Viii
liams was but young man, be
came to these mountains and built
his cabin. Then on the creek in
the valley below he opened a coun-
try store. No one knew whence
he came, except that he was raised
in the city, and at first, his neigh
bors were distrustful of him. But
this soon wore away, and soon
nothing could be done in which he
did not take the most prominent
part. He brought a young wife
and baby daughter with him, and
together they lived in the cabin he
had built. The years passed by,
and for that country where money
is always scarce, James Williams
grew to be a wealthy man.
For several years his life was a
happy one, He continued to pros
per, and his merry whistle could
be heard at morn and evening as
he went to and from his store. But
one day, a handsome, well-dressed
young man made his appearance
in the settlement, and the next,
James Williams wife had left,
never to return again, and with
her had gone the stranger. No
one knew anything further, but the
happy whistle of the store keeper
was no longer heard. An almost
savage fierceness came over him
to all except Susie, who was now
about ten years old. He loved
her passionately, and would not
allow her to get out of his sight.
1t was pathetic to hear him call
and see him search for her when in
spirit of mischief, she would con-
ceal herself in one of the boxes IN
the store, and see the look Of re-
lief that camc into his face when
she was clasped in his arms again.
-SSo>'ssiilne went on, and by degrees,
some of the old time spirit came
back 10 Williams.
When Susie was IA years old,
very reluctantly her father sent her
to the city to school. Once a
month be would go down to visit
her in her city home, and would
then return and take up his duties
in II perfunctory way as If his
thoughts were with his daughter
TAR away. Every night a little
knot of men met at his house, and
it was not long until the fficials
learned that one of the strongest
organizations OF moonshiners III
the State was operating in these
mountains, and they suspected that
James Williams was the leader.
Raid after raid was made, but Will
liams was too shrewd to be captnr-
ed and the officers departed with
ont having detected him or any OF
his men.
Why lie went into 1t no one ever
knew, but for two years he run bis
plant, the largest in the mountains,
and then bis daughter returned
She was now grown to young wo-
manhood, and in her pretty dress
es she looked most out OF place
among the simp.. mountain folks.
