New York World: Following close up
on the discovery OF extensive pension
frauds in West Virginia. Iowa, Nebraska,
and Baltimore. comes the announcement
that a single Buffalo pension agent has
frauduletly secured for pensioners at
least 100000. and that this is only the
beginning Of the unearthng Of the most
gigantic frauds ever perpetrated in the
pension department"
These frauds are the natural legiu-
mate. inevitable outcome Of the Tanner
Raum methods of busting the surplus.
The profiigacy Of Congress in the matter
OF pension legislation has almost justified
pension agents and others In holding
that any scheme for looting the Treasury
is justihabe. provided il IS carried out
in the name Of the "old soldier and
successive Pension Commissioners have
winked at rulings" that have made petty
retail frauds seem almost respectable By
comparison.

Special Dispatch to the standard.
HELENA, Jan. 6.-An information has
been filed in the district court against
Harry X. Thompson, n young man we'll
known about town. and formerly deputy
clerk Of the district court. The charge
is embezzlement, and il Is pre-
ferred by George W. jackson, the
musical instrument dealer. Jack
son made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors last summer.
Thompson, who was Jackson's book.
keeper at the time, was named as ~.
signee. Tho financial panic coming along
soon after and with its consequent strin.
gency In the money market il turned the
peoples minds from matters musical, and
pianos, guitars, banjos, violins and thess
instruments were not in such demand aa
they had been, even al 20 per cent. below
cost. There was music enough without
it. Still, with the application OF q great
amount OF energy, of which Thompson
possessed q large quantity, the assignoe
managed 10 dispose Of considerable goods,
especially after the people caught their
breath and discovered that they had been
more frightened than hurt.
About month ago Thompson lett toWE
Nothing was thought of this at the time,
but as he did not return and 10 word came
from him, jackson concluded to look into
the matter. The result of his discoveries.
it is stated. were that Thompson had
taken i'm considerable money. and that
81. coo or thereabouts was unaccounted for.
An Inventory,,of tho stock, also IL Is stated,
showed a shortage Of ono piano and sev-
eral smaller instruments. Tne piano was
found in .Thompson's room. Ono of the
smaller instruments, a guitar, was located
with dentist, who stated that Thompson
had used il as means oi
Iiquidating bill for dental work.
The matter was brought to the attention
Of County Attorney Nolan. who filed an
information charging embezziement. II
was kept quiet by the authorities for some
reason or other best known TO themselves,
but has finally leaked out.
Thompson is about 81 years old and ha Z
been prominent in secret society matters,
in which connection IL Is stated his
records and amounts are perfectly
straight. Until after the election Of last
year hc was chief deputy in tho office oi
the clerk of tho district court After
losing that position he went to Jackson's
music store as boohkecper. There
being no demand for Il by the
creditors, hc was not required 10 furnish
bond as assignee, and whatever money
is short cannot be recovered. Tho latest
report from Thompson is that he is ia
Kansas City. Ii is thought that high liv.
ing was the means of getting him into
trouble.

That Corbett and Mitchell

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. s.--Ths story was
current to-day that Corbett had written .
letter TO Mitchell Offering to forego the
purse and meet him in private in case the
contest could not be otherwise pulled OF.
A Telegram, has been received from Nit.
cheil denying that Corbett had written
such a letter. and when the story was
sistcd IL developed that Corbett had told
Bowden that he was SO anxious to fight
tho Englishman he would meet him in q
room for nothing, either with gloves or
bare knuckles.
The truth seems 10 be that the deter
mined opposition of Governor Mitchell
has taken tho heart out of the fighters
and the promoters OF the contest. The
club Is still talking about bringing tho
fight of on time. Corbctt aud Mitchell
are said to be training, but the majority
OF people hero 10 not believe the contest
will be allowed in Florida, at least not
publicly. II Corbctt and Mitchell get to-

secretly that tho governor will not know
they have fought until tho new wspapers so
announce. All tho talk about tue club
bringing pressure 10 bear OH the governor
TO get him to "let up" In his opposition is
considered the vcricst rot.
There was story floating around that
the scene Of tho contest would be trans
fcrred to Cuba. Ii is said that X. b.

railroads, aud who also controls steam

sticks Of giant powder were scattered for
a distance of about l00 feet along the
street car tracks on West Park street near
Main. Before they were discovered sew.
cral cars passed over some Of the sticks,
and others were broken by passing
wagons, but the frozen condition of the
powder prevented explosions. Thoy were

is not probable that the powder was placed
on the tracks purposcly, hut evidently fell
