FOR ACCRUED PENSION.
Widows Right Involved In Move
init

Widows Right Involved In a Novel
Suit.
Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior,
and William Lochren. Commissioner OF
Pensions, were yesterday afternoon made
defendants in suit for mandamus brought
by the widow of Jerry Gordon, who died
at the Washington Asylum. June 20, 1885.
The suit asks that they be compelled
to issue to her a certificate of her hus-
bands accrued pension money. II col
lected, this would amount to over $3 500.
Gordon was struck by a shell at the
battle OF Bull Run, and lost both legs.
Eight years later he was given pension
of $25 d month. This was raised to $50,
June 6, 1874, and continued at that until
June II, 1873, when it was made $72.
The widow claimed that this was con-
tinued until May 81, 1881, when the Com
missioner of Pensions, ION account of some
misrepresentation and unfounded rumors,"
ordered the payment stopped and asked
Congress to repeal the special act under
which the pension was drawn. But Con-
gress has never done this, nor repealed
the general law OFFS.
The widow claimed that the accrued
pension vested in her on the death Of
her husband, and, though she has made
repeated appeals for the money, she said,
her entreaties had not been answered by
the Interior officials.

The day OF grade crossings is coming to
a close.
Yesterday morning one of the counsel for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad called on
Senator Mcmillan, chairman OF the Senate
Committee on District Affairs. They
were in consultation some time and their
talk was on grade crossings.
Senator Mcmillan has now before the
Senate bin looking to the adjustment
of the grade crossing on the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad. This afternoon he is
to have a committee from the board Of
trade on this subject
A general bill would have been intro
duced at the same time with the Baltimore
and Potomac plan by Senator Mcmillan
hadit not been foran understanding reached
with the Baltimore and Ohio people some
years ago. The Senate District Committee
considered the matter, so far as the Balti-
more ana Ohio road was concerned, closed.
1t was held that the road must live up to
/ the understanding OF past years.
THE OLD PLAN.
at that time il was agreed that the
Baltimore and Ohio road should enter the
city over a stone viaduct. This piece of
side or the boundary. and but one viaduct
was TO be butt. In this way the deadly
grade crossings would be done away with.
1t was about this plan that the counsel
of the road called on Senator Mcmillan
yesterday. The road is willing 10 live up
10 the understanding OF several years ago,
but wsat some notifications OF the system
agreed upon at the time.
one of the changes asked is that the
road be permitted to build two yiaducts
instead of one. The management claims
that it will be impossible to handle the
business Of the road with the one viaGuct.
AT present, with two system of tracks
entering the city, the road can scarcely
manage its business. Senator Mcmillan
told the Baltimore and Ohio representa-
tive that he thought there would be no
objection TO this change. few more
notifications of minor importance were
discussed, and the interview was over.
MR.. MMILLAN's VIEWS.
Senator Mcmillan. in speaking To The
Times representative about this matter,
said: II think a bill will shortly be intro
duced in the Senate, fixing the plan under
which tie Baltimore and Ohio viii enter
. the city. II viii he nearly the same plan
agreed on three years ago.
Then the engineers OF the road called on
Senate Committee and we agreed on what
should be done. The result of this move
ment now will mean that plan wiilsoo be
agreed on
When will the work be begun, Senator?''
was asked.
That l DO not know, but the road must
be given a reasonable time. The two via
ducts and their approaches will cost very
large sum OF money. You know 100, it
means 4 new depot and the other necessary
vutlays. We can only expect Just now TO
define the manner of entry and give them
a reasonable time In which to make the
change. We accomplish great deal when
we do that"
