KENSINGTON.

Kensington has practically settled her
sewer problem, without giving offense to
any of her neighbors, or polluting Rock
creek. At an adjourned meeting held on
Monday evening the sewer committee read
a communication from Mr.. B. H. Warner
in which that gentleman offered to lease
three acres of low-lying ground. suitable
for a sewage farm, for a period of ninety
nine years, renewable forever. The sole
condition was that the land be kept free
from nuisance, and the taxes on the same
borne by the corporation. The committee
were instructed to arrange details in re-
gard to the transfer, to prepare plans and
invite bids for utilizing the farm, and to
estimate the cost of sewer drains sufficient
to accommodate the present needs and fu-
ture growth of the town. To meet the eX-
pense of these improvements the meetir g
resolved to ask the common council to fix
a day to hold a special election TO ascer-
tain the sentiment of the citizens as TO
bonding the town for an amount not ex-
ceeding 5000. In case the vote proves
favorable. several public-spirited citizens
have announced their willingness to fur
nish the necessary money to begin opera
tons without awaiting the necessary ena-
bling act from the legislature. The neces-
sty for public hall at Kensington has in
duced number of gentlemen to form u
stock company to erect suitable building
near the station. 1t Is proposed to rent the
lower floor for business purposes, reserv-
ing office and storage rooms for the use of

EVANSVILLE,

Mr.. William Hickey, a clerk in the gro
Gerry store of II. S. Maple, at Charlton
Heights. had lively encounter about 2
O'Clock yesterday morning with two I'M
known white men, who were attempting to
break into the store Hickey, who occupies
a room Immediately over the store, was
awakened by the noise at the front door
made by the burglars in trying to open it,
and, hurriedy slipping on his clothes, seizel
a poker and came through the side door,
where he encountered one of the burglars
and, hitting him over the head with the
poker. felled him to the ground He then
went to the front door, where he saw the
other robber inserting a key into the lock
and trying tc open it. Hickey struck at
him with the poker, but the weapon came
in contact with a post and fell from his
hand. He then grappled with the man and
began to beat him with his fist, when the
other came to the assistance of his friend
and the two robbers overpowered him and
threw him upon the porch, where they
struck him a number of savage blows He
managed to regain his feet, but Just as he
did so one OF the robbers drew revolver
and leveled it at his face, telling him he
would fix him. Hickey knocked the re-
volver upward with one hand and dealt the
man q heavy blow with the other The pis-
toll went off, the ball grazing Hickey's head
and burying itself in the door Hickey then
became exhausted from the blows he had
received, and fell upon the porch. The rob-
bers left the place without effecting an en-
trance to the store. When Hickey revived
he went to Mr.. Shannabrook's house and
Informed hrf of the affair. The whole
neighborhood is very much excited over the
attempted robbery. and every effort will be
used to capture the men. Mr. Maple has
offered reward for their capture, and Mr..
Shannabrook has also offered a reward for
the apprehension of the robbers who broke
into his house on Monday night, who are
thought to be the same whom Hickey en-
countered yesterday morning. Two men
made an attempt to break into Mr.. NAPLES
store through the back way last Saturday
night, but were frightened off by Hickey,
who threw a poker at them He also
elected an ugly looking tramp from his
store last fall, who insisted on spending the
night there. The porch where the encoun-
ter occurred was covered with blood. The

Important Pension Decision.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the In
terror Department has recently rendered
several pension decisions of more or less
interest. In sustaining the decision of the
commissioner of pensions in the case of
Hannah Chapman, widow of Samuel Chap
man, who claimed enlistment in the siXtieth
Indiana volunteers, he holds that the ques-
ton of whether a man is enlisted rests
with the War Department, and where the
War Department shows that soldier was
not enlisted it is final; also that an offer of
enlistment by a soldier must be completed
by it's acceptance by the government.
In the case of Susan Landgraff, widow of
John Landgraff of Illinois, the Secretary
affirms the decision of the commissioner.
rejecting her claim for pension under the
act of $780, on the ground that she had an
income considerably in excess of the pen
sion allowed widows.
