ANXIOUS PENSIONERS.



MONTPELIER, Aug. st. J. Deavitt,
pension attorney at Montpelier, is receiving
great many inquiries from pensioners
under the act Of June 81, 1890, asking If
pensions are cut Off without notice other
than that published in the newspapers.
MIR. Deavitt answers no, and refers to q
law passed in 1879, which provides that,
"Iu no case shall a pension be Withdrawn
or reduced except upon notice to the pen
sioner and hearing upon sworn testimony,
except as to the Certificate of the examining
surgeon.
Mr. Deavtt told FREE PRESS reporter
that for Hoke Smith, secretary of the
interior, to review, on his own motion, the
completed work OF his predecessor, is as I'M
precented in practice as it is unwarranted
in law. Whom his predecessor, charged
with the duty of constituting the law, per
formed that duty aud granted a pension
mis- decision was conclusive.
Tue case was completed a1d ended and
the questions involved became Res judicata.
The case was no longer pending or in tine
jurisdiction of Hoke Smith. 1t could only
be brought up for his consideration on mo-
ton or application of the pensioner, or by
the discovery of some fraud on his part in
procuring the pension. 1t was not fraud
because Hoke Smiths predecessor granted
pensions on les, testimony than he thinks
the law requires.
There is long line of department decis
ions, said Mr.. DeavItt that hold that the
decisions OF the secretary can only be re-
viewed to the ext .nt of correcting errors in
matters of calculation and Of considering
new and important evidence, even when
brought up by proper application therefor.

TRAlN-LOAOs OF MINERS.
Destitute and Determined. They Besiege
Regular Trains for Passage East.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 4.-The exodus OF
Colorado miners continues through Kansas,
proving heavy burden to farmers and q
source OF great annoyance TO railroads.
Tramp trains on the several roads carry
from 200 to 400 each, day going east. The
regular trains are still bssieged by idle and
destitute miners who are deter mined to get
out OF the country.
The crowds are so great in Denver that
first class passenger trains frequently back
away from the depot aud thsn run through
the station at full speed in order to prevent
men from jumping on. In some instances
the trains are accompanied through Kansas
by guards of soldiers to avoid any inter
ference with regular travel

NEW YORK, Aug. William William

He was a muscular, self con fient man

but is not so well known here.
He was to have filed a weeks engage

He is a man of perfectly sober habits, and
his friends are at loss to know how the
accident happened. lie was in the pink Of
physical condition aud they say that his
muscles have often st rod much more Sc
we're strain than that by which they were
taxed yesterday.
He made his ascent at 6 o'clock, and it
was witnessed by hundreds of persons who
had been at the afternoon concert. The
air ship went majestically upward and
took a course toward the river, but getting
in another air current was taken slowly in

of about one thousand feet he cast loose
from the balloon, and with his parachute

brief seconds the spectators saw him make

it looked as though he would land safely,

fell.
He struck upon the roof of a small build

He was alive and conscious, hut unable TO

way as to cause paralysis of his entire body.
1t was said at the hospital at midnight
last night that his injuries were permanent,

was evidently to have Walter E. win the

was not accomplished until after q pro-
tracted struggle. Walter L. landed the
heat and race aftor one OF the hardest
fought struggles ever seen on race track

her mark from 2:l3i to 2:lOi, but at no
time after that was she considered proba-
