PENSION VOUCHERS.
Last week was the busy time at the
County Court Clerks Office here for exc
cutting pension vouchers There are about
thirty eX-lnion soldiers here who draw
from S. 20 $50 per month each In pensions,
and this tends once in three months TO
quicken money matters in the county.

Legislature IN relation 20 making provis-
ion in this line for those Confederate
soldiers whose hardships and sufferings
during the late war have resulted IN dis
eases. and owing 20 which they are un-
able 10 earn a support. was most timely
and should receive the careful attention
of the legislators. There are men living
in this county to-day who are diseased
by reason Of the service they rendered
tNtI State as soldiers, ana VINO cannot
do sufficient work to earn half a living,
and yet these poor fellows cannot. under
our present pension laws get one cent.
The time has come when simple justice
demands some patriotic consideration OF
these soldiers claims. and we hope the
fact will not so unnouced 10y the present

There was an awful fight on Rag Hill
ated Ia the rear OF Silver Spring street,
near Branch avenue. For some
time there has been considerable
hard feeling between Michael Garrahan
and Jack O'Hollorau. Both men are
iaborers and about "a years old. O'Hoi.
weighs about 1S6 pounds, while Garrahan
tips the scales at 100 pounds.
Both men had been drinking
heavily last night. O'Holloran said he
made $3.50 per day. Garrahan said he was
liar, s1.26 was all he was getting. That
settled it. To be called liar was all
O'Holloran wanted. "Come outside and
I'll show you whether Pm liar
or not" Out they went, followed by
about dozen or more men eager to see
the fight. They had hardly arrived on the
ground when about twenty women had
TO hurt each other. Their pleadings had
no effect on the men, however.
AT 1t they went, hammer and tongs. They
kicked and pounded each other IN the
face, Garrahan got his nos broken in the
first five minutes and though the blood
was streaming down his face, he
was game TO the last. Several
times he was knocked down, and tie
last time he laid there with badly
sprained or broken wrist. During the
tight the women were wringing their
hands and praying for the love of Heaven
TO O'Holloran not TO kill Garrahan,
but the men fought like wild
beasts until the weaker man succumbed
under the terrific blows Of his tall ad-
versary. Garrahan was carried into
house near by and cared for. Whether
O'Hoiloran gets Si.50 per day or not Is
still at issue.

which turned that organ to the side OF his
face, breaking IL badly. Another blow
followed which drove Donnelly through a

ARION CLUB CONCERT.
Splendid Rendering OF the Dramatic
OTatorio ssArminius."

The Arion concert in Infantry Hail last
evening attracted the usual large number
of musicians and music loving residents
of the city and vicinity.
1t was splendid concert accentuGting
the fact that Providence has one of .he
best of musical organizations under the
direction of n most capable leader. Mr..
Jules Jordan was one of the stars of the
evening, anu his reading OF Max Bruch's
drama ic oratorio, "Arminius," was most
capable. Besides, be impaired his intel
ligence and comprehension of the
heroic and difficult work to his
big chorus aud impressed the dis
tinguished soloists Of the evening with the
thought that they had background of
assuring strength. Such combination
and such direction attained a remarka bile
resuld. Indeed, it-cannot be recalled
when the club appeared to better advan-
tage.
1t surmounteds every difficulty with
ease and its part was unusually generous.
The attack was certain, the tone large and
tuneful and the vocalization always vigor-
Gus. The response TO the conductors
wand was nearly perfect.
Mrs. Carl Aives, mezzo soprano,
was regretted that so capable
an artist hadn't the lions share OF the
solo work, instead OF the baritone, who
was hardly up TO every requirement. The
tenor, like the soprano, had comparatively
little to do and in this respect he was for
tunate, as his recent physical disability
was observable. Nevertheless he sang
with fine taste and appreciation. Mrs.
Alves' singing was, besides the chorus.
worthy of the praise bestowed.
"Arminius" treats OF the successful up
rising OF the leading German tribes early
in the Christian era, against Roman
oppressors at the call OF chief Arminius,
and this gave the author his
title. The theme Is heroic and
the great German composer has
developed IL in heroic mould
1t was written for baritone voice, and
in this respect II shows its only lameness.
but the choruses are strong and rich in
color and much OF the work Is wonder
fully impressive. The orchestration, too,
Is quite elaborate. Taken all in ali the
concert was worth the satisfaction il
brought to all concerned.
The soloists were, Mrs. Alves, Mr.. A.
Hobart Smock, tenor, and Mr.. Lewis
Williams, baritone. Mr.. Sprague was, as
usual, effective at the great organ, and
the orchestra was sufficient.
