A SuddenDeath.

News from Dallas says that Joe
Bunshaw, at one time popular
barkeeper here, but now of the
Oriental Hotel bar, had an accident
on Tuesday night that resulted in
his death. He was sitting on a
railing, fronting the outside of the
bar, when he over balanced and
fell fourteen feet to the cellar.
When picked up he was uncon-
scious and died in a few minutes.
Medical examination showed that
the deceased's neck was broken,
his skull fractured, right shoulder
dislocated, and there were traces
of internal injuries. The deceased
was AZ years of age, unmarried,
and had no relatives in Dallas, but
the saloon men took charge of his
funeral and buried him in most
honorable way.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.
Ex-Confederates Cannot Serve as
Members of the Pension Board.
AI-STIN. Tex. Jan. IL, 1891.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SdnuoG ooiNo as
Members of the Pension Board.
AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. II, 1894.
To the Daily LIGHT.
1t will be remembered by the
reading public that several weeks
ago the Austin District Medical
society passed resolutions condem-
natory of Commissioner Lochren,
of the United States Pension Board,
for his alleged ruling by reason Of
which all ex-Confederate surgeons
were held Ineligible to serve on
the board of pension examiners.
When the above mentioned resolu-
tions greeted Commissioner Loeb
ren's eyes in Washington he made
haste to reply in a very emphatic
denial. This denial of commits
sioner Lochren's occasioned some
surprise here in Austin, in as
much as the doctors had only taken
their action after mature delibera-
ton and the review of letters from
Congressman Sayers annent the
| matter. In order to sift the matter
| to the bottom and also give Con-
gresham Savers an Oppor-
tunity to clear himself from
the mild CD insinuations con-
tanned in Lochren's letter.
Dr.Daniels of this city wrote him
about the matter and inclosed the
letter. The result was that DIR
| Daniels was yesterday in receipt
of the following letter which is
self explanatory:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. II, 1894

second letter of import similar to
his letter of July 10; but that de-
termination was changed in conse-
quence of a letter received from
DR.. Denton.
| have found in the Pension Of
flee your original application,which
was most strongly endorsed by
Drs. Wooten and Swearingen.
Inasmuch as this matter has
gone to the public through the
press, l trust that you will also
cause my letter and accompanying
enclosures to be published in the
same manner, so that | may be re-
lieved of the suspicion, if any
should exist, that | had incorrectly
stated the position of the Pension
office, in my letter to DR.. Denton.
Yours sincerely,
JOSEPH d. SAVERS.
Accompanying this letter is an

recommendation from Congress-
man Sayers to Commissioner Loeb
