SOME PENSION RULINGS.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds
Hands Down Several
Opinions.

Washington, D. c., July 3-Many new
points in the adjudication of pension
claims are established in decisions rem
dered by Assistant Secretary Reynolds
Ofsthe interior department. All the cases
came up on appeal from the pension bu-
reau. Following is a summary Of new
rulings:
The widow Of an additional paymaster
is pensionable under section 3, act of
June q, 1890.
Where shown that a soldier was sound
at enlistment and died in reglmental
hospital of disease, the exact character
and nature of the disease not being
shown, the testimony being conflicting, it
will be presumed in the absence of evil
dence to the contrary that he died of
disease contracted in the service and line
of duty.
Death resulting from the morphine
habit, though contracted by using the
drug to relieve pain caused by malady
contracted in the service and line of
duty on soldiers own responsibility, cam
not be accepted as due to service in the
line of duty.
Where a pension granted to a widow
on account of minor child of her de-
ceased husband has been terminated be-
cause the child had attained it's sixteenth
year, and the child has been continuous
ly, since it's sixteenth year, insane. idi-
otto or otherwise permanently helpless,
pension may be allowed subject to the
right as minors of other children of the
deceased father to participate with it in
such pension during their minority after
the termination of the widows right to
pension from the date of filing applica-
ton therefore subsequent to June q,
1890, upon proof of its trouble.
Provision is made to prevent loss of
pension by mistakes in application 1t
is held under the famous June 27'' act
that the pension must commence from
the date of the filing of the original APP
plication, provided pensionable disab ility
is proved. In the case of G. B. duchess,
a Michigan veteran, Judge Reynolds says
in sustaining the right of a pensioner
under the June q act to receive pen
sion under the general law, the former
providing sufficient guard against double
payment: Wherever the act of June %,
1890, is employed it must be to the sol
dier's benefit. And since that benefit
is liable to suffer defeat through the use
of section AIS, revised statutes, to COM
pei an election by the pensioner, such
section, beng plainly requgnant to the
act designed to convey benefit to the
pensioner, cannot be employed

AMERICAN RULES IN CANADA.
General Manager of the Grand Trunk
Makes improvements.

Toronto, Ont. July Sit is stated on
the authority of prominent officials in the
service of the Grand Trunk railway that
General Manager Hayes proposes to in
troduce American rules throughout the
Grand Trunk system in Canada. Old
officials will be compelled to learn the
new rules and failure to pass a written
examination on them will mean dismiss
sal.
Mr. Hayes has dismissed many old
employees. replacing them with Ameri-
cans, and this proposed change. some
assert, will be a good excuse for import
ing more employees from the United
States. There is talk that to meet the
emergency the federal authorities will
be urged to enact an alien law similar to
that in the United States.

A MARTYR TO SILVER.
Mr.. ST. John Couldn't Maintain His
Political Position and be
Bank President.

New York, July 3.-William 2. St.
John. president of the Mercantile Ma
tional bank has resigned his position.
Mr.. st. John has for several years been
an outspoken advocate of the free coin
age of silver and in this has been at
variance with the directors of the bank.
The feeling in banking circles against
the advocacy of free silver by a bank
president has been very strong and it
resulted in making Mr.. st. Johns rela-
tons with his business colleagues very
UNPLEASANT.

1t was ''go," but the following Sun

he arrived way-worn and mud bespatter-

Jurles sometimes have a queer way
of arriving at q verdict. as was develop

Gently. 1t was in the case of Booth &
Go. versus George J. Raab, trustee, a
verdict for the defendant having been
rendered. After the jury retired several
ballots were taken, but no agreement
was reached. AS the afternoon and even

taken, the jury standing ten for the
plaintiff and two for the defendant.
The two were stubborn, but as 10
o'clock approached they showed an aux
iety to compromise in order to catch the
last train for home 1t was agreed that
six slips, three marked defendant and
the same number marked plaintiff,
should be placed in hat and drawn
out, the first three of the same kind to
be the verdict. This was done. Five
slips were drawn from the hat, the fifth
making the third with the word defend

agreed upon as the verdict and was SO

main reasons urged for new trial. --

A successful operation has been per-
formed on N. Graybell of Caledonia.
Mich, in the Butterworth hospital at

months ago Graybell had his right hand
fearfully mutilated at the wrist on a

were nearly severed, and so badly torn
that the hand was paralyzed. Last
month he went to Detroit for treatment.

plating therein the sciatic nerve from a
live spaniel. GraYbell and the spaniel
were placed under anaesthetics and an
inch and half of each of the torn
nerves cut off, The ends were made
square and the nerves from the dog laid
IN the breach. Silk sutures were used
to hold the pieces together Two or
three days ago Graybell announced that
feeling had returned to his hand, and

SHOCKED A CONGREGATION.
Deacon Goes to Church Barefoote
Paw Bet
From the Philadelphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press.
Deacon Johnathan Fechter of the
Congregational church of Donegal town
ship, shocked the members of the con-
gregation the other morning by walking
into meeting in his bare feet.
After the service he was waited on by
the minister and his fellow deacons and
asked about this strange conduct. He
explained that he was paying an election
bet. He had agreed with Arnold Herter
that i'll case of McKinley's election he
would walk to church barefooted and in
case OF Bryan's election Herter was to
do the same.
A conference was held among the tlea-
cons and it was decided to discipline
Deacon Fechter, not because he walked
to church in his bare feet, but because
he had INDUCED in betting.

CURIOUS GEORGIA NOTES.

There is acuriosity over in Worth coun.
ty that will puzzle nurserymen. Mr.. c,
M. Willis has on his place Keifer pear
tree that is about five years old, The
entire lever part of the trunk has been
apparently dead for two years past. Cut
ting around it with knife fails to show
any sap, and the bark has peeled off and
the wood is becoming season-cracked.
Yet all the branches of the tree are
green except one, and have borne two
crops of truit-one last year and one
this. 1t is generally supposed that the
life of tree comes up from mother
earth through the sap, and just how this
one is living, cut off as it is from all con-
nection with the earth, is a ..ystery.

Candidates in the State.
The official returns of the total vote
cast IN Georgia on November 3rd make
an interesting exhibit. In 1892 the dem
ocrats of Georgia cast 129, 1886 votes for
Cleveland. This year "a 1882 votes were
cast for Bryan-a net loss of 1914.
McKinley's vote of go, 1O1 was gain of
1885 votes only. lowering got 5,613
votes, and Palmer 2,708.
The vote cast for Bryan is almost the
same as that polled for Hines, the popu-

two years ago, and it is but little more
than that cast for Wright in October
last.
