The triumphant southern politicians
In congress showed clearly enough by
their proceedings last week that their
hostility is directed, not toward the
pension system M such, but toward the
veteran who fought 10 save the nation
and snbdue secession. The ex,Con.
federates and Democratic statesmen
have pretended that they had nothing
but the best wishes for veterans who
were actually wounded Ia the struggle,
and whose MANNED bodies testify 10
the valor with which they faced the
bullets OF the enemy. This fiction has
now been dissipsted Ia way that
ought to open the eyes OF any old sol.
diers who were possibly deceived by
pretentions. In order that there may
be no doubt Ia the minds Of our readers
that the facts are not exaggerated, we
give them ~ reported by eminent au-
thority. the Hon. Amos J. Cummings:

necessary transportation for veterans
OF the war who had lost limb In the
service. Maimed veterans now re-.
ceive either an artificial limb or com.
munlcatlon therefor every three years.
II was now proposed 20 allow them
new iimbs or communication every
nve years; or In other words, to COM

BAD WRECK.
Head-End Collision on the New England
 Road.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Dec. 16.-A dis astrous head-end collision occurred on the New England road, beneath At- well avenue bridge. The trains col lided were the Pascoag express on the Springfield division and an extra coal train. The former had the right of way. Both were running at high speed The locomotive of the express is a total wreck and the three coaches are rendered al- most useless. The locomotive of the extra is also badly demolished. The blame is attributed to the disapatcher at the Olneyville station, who failed to hold the express. The fireman and en- gineer of the extra saved themselves by jumping. The rolling stock took fire immediately after the crash, but was saved by the fire department About twenty persons were injured, though no one was killed

 He was tall and lanky, with longish beard and mustachios, a dropping nose and hanging under lip, a high and narrow forehead, surmounted with a stock of hay-colored hair. Altogether his tout ensemble reminded one forcibly of the picture of satyr, but the kindly light of the blue eyes and certain puckers of humor about the capacious mouth proclaimed the hid- den existence of genial soul.
 The blue dungaree pantaloons were generally rolled part way up the cow hide long boots Certain threadbare patches on the shoulders of the weather beaten. brownish gray coat gave evil dence of the chafng of gun and ax handle and the darkish greasy stains on the wide gray felt hat showed just where the big hand, thrust into the hat, had snatched the hot frying pan or coffee pot from off the blazing camp fire.

 Hours passed, and the sun was low when William returned, tired and hun gry, and without bear meat He had followed Bruin, so he said, from thick. ct to thiclSet, and through swamps and over hills, sometimes catching a glimpse of black fur, but never getting chance to shoot, till at last he lost him in rocky gorge, and was forced by the approach of night to give up and return empty handed.

You have no lock on the gun" Glanc ing up at the shelf I saw that the lock was there, wrapped in an oiled rag, where William himself had placed i, the night before after cleaning the gun. Hello William You forgot tc put your lock on before starting." shouted The blue eyes opened wide in perplexed stare and the under lir i dropped bit farther down. Then the little puckers deepened as the eyes closed somewhat

RAILWAY FAILURES.
A Disastrous Year Instead of the Prosper
 ous One Expected.

ous One Expected.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The Railway Age publishes au elaborate statement of the financial troubles of railway com. panies during the year. It says:
 During the year now closing nearly l3 per cen, of the entire railway mi cage of the United States representing over l2 per cent of the entire capitalization, has gone into the hands of receivers During the two years, 1892 and 1893, the companies for which receiv- CTS were appointed represent over l9 per cent of the mileage and nearly IS per cent of the capital stock and bonds of all the railways in the country.
 The Philadelphia & Reading failure in Feb ruary was the first great wreck of the year, and although several others of importance soon followed, 1t was after the panic began that the most notable calamites took place. On July 25 came the Erie failure; in August the great Northern Pacific confessed bankruptcy. and in October the greater Union Pacific sys' tenn went into the hands of receivers. Mean time and since, less notable com panies, though many of great impor' tance, have dropped into the insolvent list until now two weeks before the close of the year, we find in the record of companies for whom re- ceiyers have been appointed since January no less than seventy-one roads, with nearly 23Odc miles of line, with an outstanding bonded in' debtedness of almost S75t t006,0OO and capital stock aggregating over $534, ,OOO,0O. making a toysl of almost sl 2ss 0JO 900 of stock and bonds from which all returns are suspended, with the certainty that large part of'their value VIII DC wiped out before the long process of he courts lad
