Confederate Pensions.
 Auditor Purifoy today addressed the following letter to Judge Glenn of Rus sell county:
 Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 5, 1895. Judge E. H. Glenn, Scale Ala
 Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of the 25th Of July, you say, '"rhe act of 1S94-5 changes the allowance as to widows whose husbands died of disease after the war, and under the new act such widows are not entitled to participate in the ap- propriation for the relief of Confederate soldiers and widows, but the query is. are not such widows entitled to come in and participate who filed their applca- tions in 1894, prior to the passage of the amended act, within the time prescribed and in the proper manner?'
 Section 2 of the new act requires that the application shall set forth what prop erty the applicant owns, etc. Now this is an amendment and change from what the law required in 1894 when these ap- plications were made, and the forms used by me were obtained by me from you, and framed strictly under the law then regulating ahe business Should or can such new requirements defeat an application where no setting forth of property is made and cannot be made?' .'The new law prescribes that no soldier whose wife owns separate estate of more than $500 in value if they are liv- ing together shall be entitled to the ap- propriation and relief etc. Does that operate on applications made in 1894? There was no such law then"
 What is the limit of value which will exclude-$4OO under the old law, or $500 under the new?''
 The answer to these four questions in wolves the same principle, to-wit. Do the provisions of the act as it stood prior to it's amendment apply to the applica- tions of widows who filed their applica- tions prior to the passage of the amend ed act? or, should such applications be made to conform to the act as it was af- rewards amended?
 I have no hesitancy in saying that you are eminently correct in your conclu- sions that such applications should be measured by the provisions of the statute as it was at the time such applications were filed, and the local boards of exam iners in making their Investigations of the claims of such applicants should be governed by the legal requirements of such applicants at the time their appH- cations were filed.
 4. Suppose the husbands property IS worth $250 for instance and his wife's separate estate is worth $500 or $40O, enough to make up or exceed the limit of $500, can the husband come in to share the relief?"
 Unless the taxable property of each, husband and wife, exceeds $500, if such applicant IS otherWlSe leSally qualned under. the amended law the fact that the taxable property of the husband and wife combined is equal to or exceeds $500 does not exclude the applicant from par ticipating in the benefits provided for by the act, if the property of neither is equal to or exceeds the limit. With much re- spect, JOHN PURIFOY,
 State Auditor.

Judge Mois Holds Social Clubs Amenable to
 Sunday Law.

New Orleans, Aug. 5.-Judge Mois handed down an elaborate opinion today in the Social club case, in which is the conclusion that places of this character are amenable tothe provisions of the Sun day law. The opinion was rendered in re- sponse to a demurrer filed for the pres ident of social club of this city. Sev- eral weeks ago, in order that the amena- bility of social clubs to the Sunday law should be settled at once and forever, the president of one of the most promi- nent clubs had been twice indicted for permitting the sale of liquors at the club on Sunday. The opinion concludes as follows:
 "If club saloons were permitted to sell liquors on Sundays New Orleans would soon contain more social clubs than any city on earth. This would be an easy, available and effective way of evading the law, and would rather encourage than suppress the evils intended to be corrected, nor would it be of any practi- cal use to draw the distinction between the bona fide social clubs and one organ ized as a device to defeat the ltw.
 Tt is sufficient that the door for such evasions would have been opened and taking judicial cognizance of the history of the enforcement of the law in this city, I will hazard the assertion such devices would be successful. The demurrer is overruled and the defendant ordered to rolaad

At New Orleans.

New Orleans, Aug. 5.-Atlanta lost the first game of the New Orleans series today by a score of 15 to 4. The visitors were never in the game from the start, and the locals simply camped on them for a picnic. Norton, the youngster whom Knowles is trying out as a pitcher, was put in the points and pitched himself out of the box in the second inning. He gave four bases on balls in that inn ing and these, in conjunction with five safe hits, netted five runs. With two outs and three men on bases Knowles replaced Norton in the box and sent the youngster to first base. The side was then retired without scoring another run. The game was a regular slugging match on the part of the home team, as every man secured from one to three hits. Score:

An Accident In Massachusetts Tannery

WOBURG, Mass. April 2.-Just before
: o'clock this morning one of the boil
ers in the Conn tannery at this place
exploded with terrific force, killing
four men and injuring nine others
The big iron smokestack on the boiler
house was blown high into the air and
fell across the roof of the shop, and the
tail brick chimney fell in a thousand
pieces, crushing the engine room be-
meath it. When the smoke and dust
cleared away from the scene of the
wreck the ruin was revealed. Men
hurried from all parts of the town and
the work of removing those buried un-
der the ruins was commenced immedi-
ately.
The piteous cries of the injured
pinned under the debris urged the res
cuers to rapid work and in short time
the bodies of four men had been re-
moved and six of the injured had been
taken out. 1t was then found that one
of the four boilers had been blown to
pieces, completely wrecking TIE boiler
house and demolishing severe! sheds
near by. The head of the boiler fell
300 yards from the tannery and the
boiler tubes were scattered in every
direction. The falling chimney and
smoke stack principally wrecked the
tannery building itself. and the Siruc-
ture will have to be rebuilt.
