Pc N SIONERS OF '76.
SIXTEEN VETERANS OF THE REV.
OLUTION ON THE ROLLS.
Many Well-Known Names We're on the
List-Government Bounty Long Drawn
Out by June-December Marriages-By-
gone Pension Legislation.
Not I'm the Flesh Hut by Proxy.

One by one the few remaining pen
sioners from the revolutionary war
are passing away. In almost every
instance these worthy recipients of
Government aid have lived to a good
old age. Quite recently, says Wash
ington correspondent, there died at
Easton, Pa. widow whose late hus-
bands pension dated back to the war
of independence, to the days Of pow
dered wigs and knee-breeches, and
whose own term Of years lacked but
one of rounding out the century.
This lady was Anna Maria Young,
the widow of Captain Jacob Young,
a revolutionary soldier whom she
married in 1915, and with whom she
enjoyed the blessings of welded life
for the brief period of six months
only. She had, however, enjoyed the
pension granted her soldier husband
for some seventy-seven years until her
death.
To-day there are but sixteen revo-
lutionary veterans on the rolls, and
these are not in the flesh. In no
case, of course, is the living bene-
ticiary the person to whom the pen
sion was granted. The last actual
survivor Of the great war, Samuel
Downing, died in 1867. AS he had
drawn pension for some eighty
years, he is probably entitled to hold
the national record in this respect.

Washington special: Is the Populist
party to continue in the political field?
This is one of the questions which are
now agitating certain political circles
at the capital, and the question is
based on rumors that the leaders Of the
party are contemplating a change of
organization because of some disagree
ments among them, but especially for
the purpose of permitting the advo-
Gates of the free coinage of silver, who
have never embraced the Populist doc
trines as TO government ownership of
railroads, the bond loan policy and the
issuing of paper money, to attach
themselves TO the new organization.
Senator PETER was called upon for
information as to the correctness of the
report, and unhesitatingly stated that
the rumor of the proposed change was
well founded. 81 expect" he said, "a
new alignment of parties to be found
after the congressional election next
year, ADD that the new party will be
ready for our work in the presidential
election of 1896"
do you mean that the Populist
party will be disorganized?'' was asked.
1.-The Populists,' he replied, twill
form part of great national organiza
ton, which will probably be brought
together under another name. The
Populist party will have the same rela-
ton to this new party that the old free
soil and abolitionist parties bore to the
Republican party"
When asked what would be the issue
upon which the new party would or
ganize, he said, 1.-THE issue is now be-
tween the money power and gold
basis, on one side, and the producing
masses of the people advocating an en-
larged volume of money on a gold,
silver and paper basis on the other.
That will be the great issue in 1896,
and it is one upon which the people
will divide without regard to former
party differences"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

New YORK, Nov OR G. Dun & Co. S

a constant complaint that the Improvement
is slow. This Is because very few realize
how heavy a load business has to drag after
IL in climbing up again. Legislative uncer-
families weigh heavily, but other loads
many overlook. The past depression, with
trading and manufacturing failures invoiv-
ing more than S2B5 O0l,OOO in nine months,
besides banking failures OF enormous La
bilities and failures of railway and other
corporations having heavy Indebtedness To
individuals and firms. involve continual
embarras sments which men are prone to
forget. There has been great encourage
ment during the past week In the fact That
November payments are far more satisfac-
tory than was feared and yet the extern
sions OF the month would have seemed
alarming other years. Merchants who col
lect part of the amount due are rejoiced,
but their buying power Is not as large as
usual. The extraordinary shrinkage In
purchases for consumption, III lessenlng, has
still made 10 impossible To many farms TO 90
on a. before. The condition of industries
improve but they wisely await the revival
of purchases by consumers. Twenty -four
works of all kinds have wholly or In part
resumed, against fourteen closing. Yet
less than half the iron-working power ac-
tive, and out of nlnety-nine WOODEN works
at the east only ten are working full time,
while forty-iive were shut on Nov. 1. The
failures for the week have been 324 in the
United states, against POS last year, and 20
In Canada, against 30 last year.

A Father Killed and Children Shot.
j. o. Drake, treasurer of the Indiana,
Illinois q Iowa railroad, was assaulted
in his Office in the RoolSery building,
Chicago, by two men and robbed of
$500 which he had packed in va
lise, preparatory TO going out upon the
road TO pay employees. Mr.. Drake re-
ceived rough treatment. Wells in his
head bore evidence of savage blows.
He had but little to say, but the sum
of $25, 600 was mentioned as missing
and it was soon understood that the
robbers had made away with that
amount.
Mrs. Thomas Prunty, of West Thir
teenth street, Chicago, was awakened
by two intruders, who were in her
room. She called TO her husband who
rushed to grapple with the men. A
shot from one of them stopped him
and he fell and died instantly. The
noise awakened other members of the
family, and a son and daughter rush
ing TO their mothers room, blocked
the exit of the burglars. More shots
followed and the daughter fell with a
bullet in her thigh and the son was also
shot. The intruders sprang over the
wounded and made their escape. Two
policemen who were near at the time
gave chase and fired at the retreating
men, but without effect.

seoo. 600 Blaze IN a Lumber Town.

A furious fire, and one that in loss
of property has seldom had its parallel
in the north woods, broke out at Keno,
Newaygo county, and was not eXtin-
guished until 500, 900 worth of lum Der
had been destroyed. The lumber was
the property of William Peters, of To-
ledo. A strike occurred few weeks
ago because pay was delayed. The
firm next day paid off the help and dis
charged the strikers, hiring new men.
The fire broke out in the lumber piles,
hence the reports of incendiarism.
Still it may have been caused by men
smoking or Oy spark from a locomo-
tive engine passing through the yard.
The mill was saved by workmen
sweeping off the falling sparks and
using water freely. One house and
two barns and tive freight cars were
destroyed.

Two Good Grabs by burglars.

The little village of Waucedah, six
miles from Norway was the scene of
an extensive robbery. V. Rochons, an
eccentric old storekeeper, had for
years been known to keep large sums
of money in his safe. Rochons was
called to Iron Mountain by bogus tele-
grams and while away the safe was
cracked and $500 taken. Three
parties have been arrested on suspic-
ion. There is no trace of the money.
Robbers stole every gun, revolver,
razor and piece of cutlery in Sawyer
g. Ravens hardware store at Bellevue,
besides ammunition and other goods
worth many hundred dollars. The
safe was bored for dynamite, but the
fuse did not burn. 1t is the biggest
burglary Bellevue ever had.

A MONSTER STRIKE.
Lehigh Valley Railroad Completely Tied
up-Over 1890 Men out.

Philadelphia: A general strike was
ordered on the entire system of the Le-
high Valley railroad. The immediate
cause is the company's refusal to rec
ognize any committee or body of men
as the representative of the employees
of the road. After repeated attempts
made by the grand officers of the sew
cral railway organizations TO gain
audiences with the officials Of the road,
and after subcommittee from the
general committee sitting at the Bing-
ham House, Philadelphia composed of
bona tide employees of the road, had
failed To secure recognition from the
roads highest representative in this
city, First Vice-President Voorhees,,
the order TO quit work was telegraphed
to all the employees along the line of
the road. The result was that gen
eral strike was declared. Over 1900
men will be Idle until the matter is
settled.
Buffalo: Freight traffic on the Le-
high IS stopped, but several passenger
trains have been running. The telc-
graph operators will probably join the

Strange Fatal Accident in the Quincy Min,

William Mccarthy, aged so, was
killed in the Quincy mine at Houghton.
He had been employed in the mine for
80 years, was very careful man, and
was timber boss at the time of his
death. He left his gang to go to a
lower level after some short drills, and
it is supposed that upon his return to
the shaft after getting the drills, he
accidentally fell, and was run over by
the skip, as it came to the surface with
one wheel off. Both arms, legs and
his back were broken, and there was a
hole in the back of his head.
