PENSION DECISIONS
Rendered by Judge Reynolds, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

StCrttarg or the treasury.
 WASHINGTON, July 23.-Judge Rev. holds, assistant secretary of the treas ury, yesterday rendered the following pension decisions:
 'The records of the war department show no such organization as Capt. Babcocke's Go. A, ninth Missouri pro- visional militia, and the mem bers therefore have no pension status.
 Capt. Coffey's company. Florida vol unteers, which was stationed at Tampa Bay during the Mexican war, for the purpose of relieving the regulars there IS held not to have been in service in the Mexican war and the members thereof are not questionable under the Mexican pension laws.
 The dependent pension bill makes no provisions for pensions because of lack of adequate support If a widow has an income equal to the amount of pen- sion she would receive she is held not to be without other means of support than her daily labor, and is not pen siouable.
 A marriage performed in New York state according to the customs of the Seneca Indians is not such as to en- title the so-called widow of a soldier to pension on account of his services.
 A stepmother may claim an addi- tional pension on account of a child of her husband by former wife if the child is dependent on her for support.

THE SILVER DEBATE.

The Horr-Harvey Controversy on tne
 Money Question Continued. But with
 Waning Interest-Mr. Harvey Makes an
 Attack on Senator Morrill, and Is sharp
 ly Rebuked by Mir. Horr.
 CHICAGO, July 23 3-Although the weather was cool and pleasant yester- day, the attendance at the Horr-Har- vey debate dwindled down very per ceptibly. There were just fifty-three persons present when Mir. Horr re- opened the discussion, for the first time since the beginning of the debate reading from manuscript. During the nineteenth century all the great coun- tries had gold standard. he asserted, but had not discarded silver; however, none of them had opened their hints to silver. He then dipped into the history of finance in France, and was still talking of it when interrupted by the bell.
 Mir. Harvey said he had had many requests to put into the record the ut terances of Ingalls,, Black burn and others on the subject of finance, but owing to the limited number of words at his disposal, he could not promise to do so However, he would probably mention them in his 2.50O word sum- mary at the end of his part of the de- bate. An attack on Sen ator Morrill, followed. He was not very careful of the truth, said Mir. Harvey, when he stated that no silver dollars had been coined for many years prior to 1873. copies of the mint reports for several years previous to 1873 were submitted showing that several mill ions of silver dollars had been coined in those peri ods Now" said the author of Coin if Senator Morrill, could not tell the truth in one particular. I have right to assume that he could not tell it in any"
 Mir. Horr warmly defended Senator Morrill,. He said: When Senator Morrill, made the assertion that there had been no silver dollars coined for many years prior to 1873 he did not mean to be taken literally. He meant that in com parison to the amount of gold coined there had been practically none coined, and that is true Mr. Harvey has way I don't like in try ing to smirch the character of every body who differs from him in opinion MT. Harvey admits that he made one misstatement iu his book, and accord ing to his method of argument. have right to assume that he is wrong in everything"
 Mir. Harvey turned to the discus sion of bimetallisrn, taking up first that branch of it relating to unlimited coinage, and went into the history of the matter among other nations.
 Tt makes no difference" said MT. Horr, what the history of unlimited coinage is. It is admitted on every hand that all nations have now closed their hints to silver, and that is the main point"
 The discussion of bimetallism was continued throughout the afternoon

SWEPT BY q FLOOD.

Silver City. New Mexico. Literally Washed
 Awsy-Twenty Lives Reported Destoyed
 In the Collapse of the Trimmer House, the
 Largest Hotel In the Territory-Ftfty
 Miles of the santa Fe Railroad Washed
 Away.
 WHITE WATER, N. M., July 22.- Couriers from Silver City, N. NJ, say that the entire town was carried away by a cloud-burst this afternoon, and that there was great loss of life.
 Among the principal buildings that are included in the wreckage is the Trimmer house. which was said to have been the largest and best hotel in the territory. In the ruins of the latter place twenty people are said to have been crushed to death. but this is only . surmise, as there is no way of arriv- ing at the truth, owing to the absence of all means of communication with the wrecked town.
 The Silver City division of the Santa Fe has been washed out for distance of fifty miles, and the only means of obtaining information is from messen- gers who arrive in quest of relief.
 The Santa Fe railroad officials here have been trying, unavailingly, all day to reach Silver City by wire to learn something about the fate of the Fl Paso and Silver City special. the train which runs out of Fl Paso to Sil- yer City every morning and returns at night

SHAMoKIN, Dec. 1s.-George w. Ryon of
Shamokin, member of the State Board OF
Charities, in company with the other mem
bers, recently paid an official visit to the
SchuYlkill county almshouse, and their
opinion of the institution as at present con.
Quoted is anything but complimentary to
those in authority.
The buildings were found to be in as good
condition as circumstances would permit, but
the management of the institution, says Mr.
Ryon, is particularly bad. During the in
vestigation the members of the State Board
discovered that one of the Poor Directors has
