FRAUDULENT PENSIONERS.
Unworthy Names Are Being Rapidly
Stricken Off.

They are after the fraudulent pen
sioners. A list comprising the names
of number of pensioners recommend
ed by Commissioners Lockren to be
dropped from the pension rolls has
been handed to Secretary Hoke Smith
and ne has approved the recommend
atoms.
1t has been found upon investi-
CATION by the Pension Bureau that
the persons named in the list are not
entitled to draw pensions. Among
them are the names Of eleven men
now drawing pensions, while the re-
cords Of the War Department show
conclusiveIy that they were deserters
from the army and are still deserters
at large. One pensioner, it has been
discovered, was never in the military
service at all, but has been drawing
his pension with regularity and dis
patch just the same. A mum Der are
dropped from the rolls for not having
served ninety days, as the law requires
others dropped because the disability
for which they are drawing pensions
is the result OF their own vicious hab-
its. Several women who draw pen
sions as soldiers widows. are dropped
because they have remarked, and one
woman will cease to draw pension
because she she is living in "open and
notorious adultery"
The work of examining the rolls
with view to the detection Of fraud
will be prosecuted with vigor, and al
the same time current issues will be
carefully scrutinized with the same

missioner Lochren while prosecuting
this work renew the assurances pre-
yiousIy given that just as much car,

ALBERT MEYER,
Candidate on the Paschal Ticket for
Auditor

Candidate on the Paschal Ticket for
Auditor
There are SO many Mayors and
Meyers, that the voter is excusable
for asking which Meyer 1t is that lie
RAINING for auditor on the Paschal
ticket. Some people think 1t Is Mr..
Mayer that is employed by Messrs.
Eroboese & Ssntleben. To correct
mistakes is the purpose OF this article.
Mr.. Albert Meyer came to our city
wnen boy and at the age of thirteen
went TO California and did not return
until 1872 He is f1fty-two years of
age, man of family, resident and
property owner of our city. He is very
quiet unassuming man, and although
OF German birth, his life for so many
years in a purely American commu-
nifty made him Thoroughbred
American even to the extent of per-
feet mastery of the English tongue.
He mas been a successful business
man, and IL kHown among all his
acquaintances as an upright, tenn
perate aud shrewd business man.
He will make the people
first class auditor. Mr.. Meyer does
not profess to be an expert as an &C.
couutant, but he will fill that office
with efficiency and give satisfaction
1t would not do for people to he ct the
mercy OF experts to fill any office, and
there il a suspicion that there has
been too much expert business in
connection with the city business for
some time past. The office is elective
by the people and the qualifications
are not set out In the charter An
honest, capable, attentive business
man can fill it. Mr.. Meyer is that
man,

Judge A. Levy, candidate on the Pas,
chal ticket for city attorney, does not
claim to be of evolutionary ancestry, OF
sprung from race of judges. he is the
son of a mechanic, and what he is he owes
to his own talent and industry. His
speech at Convention hall Monday night,
proved him an able, close logician.
He took'for his text the CaIlaghan plat
form "We'l serve you in the future as
we have served you in the past" and
kept his audience in rear of applause
and laughter. The contest for the city

both good men, only Capt. Bob has gone

THEY ARE ON THE RUN.
The Desperate Straits to Which The
City Ring is Pushed.

Chy ming Is EusueJ.
The people have got the city ring on
the run and the latter are pushed to such
desperate straits that they are circulating
all sorts of scandalouS reports.
They accused Mr.. Paschal of MOI
fling the reasons for requesting the dis
missed of suits asked by him to be dis
miSsal and Mr.. U mscheid, clerk of the
district courts who is supporting the
Sharden ticket comes out in a card and
denies the truth of the accusation and
shows that Mr.. PaSchal has done his
duty.
The report was industriouSly circulated
by the ShardeiniteS that Mr.. Paschal
had dismissed the murder case against
W. B. Taylor indicted Oh tho charge of
killing a cOlored man. This report is
false. Mr.. PaSchal has not dismissed the
case but it is still on the trial docket.
The case dismissed was a misdemeanor
case and from a justices court and dis
missed by the sanction of the county at
torney and not the district attorney.
General G. w. Russ was attacked in an
undetermined manner by sanderous re-
ports while he was away. The Shardein-
ties stated that he had gone before
the city council and its committee on
railways and opposed the granting of the
franchise to the Alamo electric street
railway for its extension to West End. On
was called to the report he came out in a
manly and straightforward card, not
hitting below the belt as the city ring
sters are doing, and he not only, pro-
nounced the report unqualifedly false,
but stated that instead of going before the
council or its railway committee that two
Of the c0uncimen, Aldermen Conner and
Gregory, who by the by Is the receiver Of
the Alamo Electric railway, called on
him and to both he said he favored the
extension of the road to West End, be-
cause it would benefit and improve that
suburb as well as be of benefit to the city.
He also stated that he did not disapprove
of the granting OF any franchise for a
ed by the people asking for the franchise,
but he is opposed to the granting of spec,
uative franchises, which are obtained
solely with a view of selling them by
those to whom they are granted.
