PENSION FRAUDS GET THEIR
MONEY.

Last week we told our readers that
the alleged fraudulent pensioners, sus-
pended last May by Secretary Smith,
had been restored to the rolls all over
the Union and are still drawing their
monthly pay in addition to $500, 900
appropriated by the extra session OF
Congress before it adjourned last fall
to pay them for the three or four
months they were suspended. The
plot thickens. 1t is now known that
these fraudulent pensioners were put
back on the rolls in the States holding
elections last year before they were in
other States, the haste being made for
the purpose of getting the old soldiers,
especially the suspended ones, to vote
the Democratic ticket. Ohio was n
of the States. In the Congressional
Record of March 9th, 1894, the names
and postoffice address of 1923 rein
stated fraudulent pensioners out of
1, 300 suspended in Ohio are published.
They were put back on the rolls just
before the election, and notified. On
the 18th of October the Ohio State
Democratic Executive Committee sent
out the following to each of the u
pended pensioners:
OHIO STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE,
Columbus, Ohio, Oct. II, 1898.
DEAR SIR:-On September 10 your
pension was increased. This was done
by a Democratic administration. Do
you approve its action, and can the Re-
publican politicians still make you be-
lIeve that your vote is their property9
They have, as you know, claimed the
vote of every ex soldier who obtained
a pension during Republican rule. We
make no such claim. You were granted
an increase by a Democratic admins
tration because you deserve it, and not
as a bride or an act of charity
The contest this fall is more between
the farmersand work ing people against
monopolies and trusts than between
Democrats and Republicans. We ask
you, as an intelligent citizen, to vote
the Democratic ticket, because it is for
your own best interests to do so.
Very truly yours,
J. p. SEWARD, Chm'n.
w. T. WEAR, Sec'y.
The above shows the infamy Of the
party in power. It shows how the
Chicago and preceding platforms are
being trampled under foot and the Re
publican rascals outrascalled. Frauds
reinstated and then given tafyl Pen
sions Increased and the pensioners
asked to vote for "uS" on that account.
But that is not all. The s~coundrels
even tried to deceive the pensioners as
to who was responsible for the suspen-
sions, as the following letter, sent out
at the same time, will show:
OHIO STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE,
Columbus, Ohio, Oct. II, 1898.
DEAR Strive have fully exposed
the Republican conspiracy to capture
the soldier vote by having pensions
suspended, and will now ask you all to
allow us to aid you, if possible, in Sc
curing your reinstatement, which from
information we have you are entitled
to. We will write Senator Brice, ask
ing him to look the matter up. You
are probably n who was suspended
on information furnished by some Re
publican sneak in your own neighbor-
hood.
We propose to demonstrate fully to
the soldiers of Ohio that this disrepu-
table scheme will not work and that
the Democratic party is really their
true friend.
Very truly yours,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-03-20

THE MOULDS DISAGREE.
Charles Conduct Said to Be
Such That His Pretty Wife
Had to Object.

Counsellors DENIM and Simpson are en-
deavoring to adjust the matrimonial difficult
ties Of Mr.. and Mrs Moulds. It will be a
surprise to the many friends of the young
people to know that they have not been get
ting along as smoothly as young couples
should. They have been married more than
a year and have one child.
Mr.. Moulds is young man well known
about town. His parents have for years re-
sided on Jersey avenue. He is about twenty
years old, ana at the time of his marriage
was a member of the Palma Club.
Mrs. Moulds is q charming young lady OF
very apiable disposition. She was Miss
Agnes Doud and resided on Erie street.
Their wedding was q quiet one. and its
announcement caused some comment Miss
Doud at the time of her marriage, bore
the very enviable reputation OF being
one of the. handsomest women who graced
the Palma CLUB receptions For the past six
months during which time they have re-
sided near Wayne street. on Jersey avenue,
it IS said that Mr.. Moulds has been con-
Quoting himself in such a hilarious
manner that Mrs. Moulds entered very for
cible objections. Dsagreements became fre-
quent, and it is said that Mr.. Moulds failed
to make proper provision for the support
of his wife and child. She sought
the counsel of Alexander Simpson, while
Mr. Moulds procured the advice of Mr..
Dennin. The young people are to separate,
Mr.. Moulds agreeing to provide for his wifes
support 1t is not probable that divorce
proceedings will be instituted.

TO GRAB FIRST STREET
HOB0KEN.y

1t was rumored in Hoboken this morning
that the officials of the Jersey City, Ho-
boken and Rutherford Railroad Company,
would tonight make desperate effort to
grab for their own use, First street, Ho-
boken.
The rumor said that eight hundred men
had been engaged to do the job, and that
shortly after midnight the work would be
begun
1t was expected that the ''grabp would be
finished by six o'clock in the morning, and
that no one would be the wiser till every
thing was complete.
The road as contemplated is to run
through First street, Hoboken, to the Noun
tain Road, to Congress street, on the
Heights, and through that street to Summit
avenue to West Hoboken, and SO on to Ruth
erford.
Work on the Hill is practically at stand
still today.
The road is built to as far as the head of
First street.
A prominent resident Of the Hin told
JERSEY CRY News reporter that the COM
pany could not get franchise to run
through First street, and that that was
all that was hindering them from completing
it.
The company has met with much opposi-
tion in. Hoboken.
Consents of property owners were Sc
cured last summer, but later number OF
these withdrew their signatu res to the pc
tition.
The idea of the company is to run to the
ferry by way of First street, returning on
Second street.
The North Hudson Company controls the
approaches to the ferry, SO that the Ruther- !
ford Company could not get nearer than
Hudson street, unless deal was made with
the Hoboken Land and Improvement Com
pany OF the North Hudson Company, which
is not likely.

GENERAL BRADDooK's SASH.
I'm the Possession of the Daughter o
Ex-Presfdent TAYLOR.

WASHINGTON, June /. 1694.-A private let
ter from Winchester, Va, mentions the in
teresting fact that Mrs. Bette Taylor Dund-
ridge, the 6nly surviving daughter of ex-
President Zachary Taylor, who resides in
that city, has just discovered, after long
search, the sash of General Braddock, which
was long supposed to have been lost. This
sash was sent by General Gaines to General
Taylor just after his brilliant achievement
on the Rio Grande in 1916. The historian
says
,'General Taylor took the sash and ex-
amined it carefully. 1t was of unusul size,
being quite as large when extended, as a
common hammock In the mesheS of the
splendid red silk that composed it was the
date Of its manufacture, 1707,' and, al
though it was one hundred and forty years
old, save where the dark spots stained with
the blood of the hero who wore it, it glis-
tened as brightly as if it had
just come from the loom: Upon the
unusual size of the sash being
noticed. Gen. Worth, who had joined the
party in the tent, mentioned that such was
the old-fashioned style, and that the soldiers
sash was intended to carry, if necessary,
the bearer from the field of battle. 1t was
mentioned in the conversation that after
General Ripley was wounded at Lundy s
Lane his sash, similar in form, was used as a
hammock to bear him from the field. and
that in it he was carried several miles, his
body swaying between the horses to which
the ends of the sash were securely fastened. !"
Mrs Dundridge found the valuable relic
carefully wrapped up In linen and labelled
ssBraddock Sash" 1t was found with her
fathers two military sashes.
Mrs Dundridge was formerly Mrs Bliss
and presided over the White House in the
short year her father was President. On the
death of General Taylor all of his personal
effects were placed in his army chest and re-
manned there until at the death of his
widow they were sent to Winchester, Va.
the home of Mrs. Dundridge.
The sash is of very dark red, soft silk,
some fifteen feet long by four in width, and
near the centre are three black stains. each
as large as a woman's hand, the marks Of
General Braddocks life blood

|A DEAR PERFORMANCE.
Mr.. John Stevens Loses His
Poeketbook and General
Haneoek's Check.

| If Mr.. John Stevens of Castle Point, Ho-
boken, had noticed particularly where he
was placing his pocketbook last Tuesday at
Roster & Biars Theatre, New York, he
would not be so much concerned over its
| loss today.
He does not SO much mind the fifty odd
dollars that was rolled up inside it, but
| there was check in that pocket
| book made out to Mr.. Stevens
| order by the late General U. S. Hancock,
| in return for favor to the extent of $2.23,
Isdone to the General by Mr.. Stevens.
| Mr.. Stevens last Tuesday night, started
| for New York with party OF friends, OFT on
| a pleasure trip. Kaster & Balls place was
| suggested, and a lower box was selected by
| the party.
TWO KINDS OBJ ABSORPTION.
Roster & Bal presented SO good pro-
| gramme that these rich men became very
much absorbed in it and ordered drinks.
| Mr.. Stevens turn came around, and when
| the waiter came along with his tray Mr.:
| him two dollar bill Change was
| offered, but refused, and the waiter
pocketed the s'tip" Just at this
point something of extraordinary interest
was taking place on the stage, and Mr. Ste
vens, wishing to applaud, placed the pocket

| clapped the performance But now the
pocketbook was entirely forgotten when the
| party left. The Stevens pocketbook stayed
| on the floor and said nothing. The party
went back to Hoboken, and not until Mr.
Stevens was home did he discover its alb
| sence.
Next morning he telephoned to Roster &
! Bials. The pocketbook had left the theatre
shortly after the party. 1t has not found
Mr.. Stevens yet.
SMALL BUT REMARKABLE CHECK.
Mr.. Bial promised to watch for it.
| Tie book was given Mr.. Stevens by his
wife. The check was given by
General Hancock after a fair held
Tat Castle Point some years ago.
Mr. Hancock wished to takes chances upon
articles but had left his bank nome Mr.
Stevens advanced him s2.25. Next day he
received check for that amont. He
thought SO much of it because of
the Generals autograph and the associations
connected with it that he never presented it
at any bank He has never found urgent
use for that money since. Besides the check
| and money there were few of Mr.. Stevens
| cards and stray postage stamp. Million

| has advertised for the book, and may thank,
ina substantial way, any one who restores it.

MINNIE WELDT's MURDERER
Police Looking for a Stout, Mfddle-
Aged NFan.

Police Looking for a Stout, Middle
Aged Man.
NEW YORK, June l, 1894. Detective Chas.
Grade is on the trail of the man who may
throw some light on the mystery that sur
rounds the death of Minnie Weldt, who was
found dead in her room at No. 324 East
Sixty-frs street last Wednesday night.
The detective came into the Yorkqille
Police Court this morning with Helen
Kuhleit. the murdered girls room mate,
and said that as to Helen
he had no facts as yet that in
any way connected her with the crime, how
ever, he asked the Justice to remand her.
The request was granted.
On leaving the court Grade said to the
United Press reporters ThereH probably
be an item for you later in the day We are
shadowing man who may be able to tell
something about the case"
The clues furnished by Mrs. Boes, neigh
Dor of the dead woman, have caused
the police to strain every effort to
lecure the identity of the stout, middle aged
man, who is said to have gone downstairs
laughing, after being half an hour with
the unfortunate woman, who was never
seen alive-after he had left.
The evidence gathered by the police SO
far, identifies him strongly with the
case There appears to be no doubt
that if the Kuhlait girl choose to tell all
she knows much light would be shed on
the mystery 1t is possible that
she may have given important information
to the detectives, but if so
they keep it to themselves and silently follow
every trifing clue that presents itself. The
police settled down today to try and dis
cover the identity of every man who visited
the dead woman.

GOV. WAITE MAY BE ARRESTED.

DENVER, June l. 1S94.-From official
sources it is learned that arrangements were
made by the United States Army authorities
to arrest Governor Waite for sedition If he
sent the militia to Cripple Greek to prevent
deputy sheriffs from discharging their
duty. This was done under instructions
from Washington. Owing to the apathy
and non-action OF the Governor and his
evident sympathy with the strikers an effort
is being made to have the President inter
fere under section 5;299, Revised sStatutes of
the United States, and order out regulars.
The Secret Service has sent men to Cripple
Creek to arrest persons stopping mail
coaches Their presence there is unknown
