AN ANCIENT WAR CLAIM.
Mrs. Woods Has Often Appealed to
Congress to Refund 81 ,344.
Baltimore American }

Baltimore Amertcan.l
There is an interesting story told In
connection with the claim presented 20
the Senate ny United states Senator Cor
man on Thursday on behalf OF Mrs. Sarah
H Wood, OF 100 Eutaw Place, for the re-
funding OF 81, ,344 Al war claim.
Previous to and during the war Mrs.
Wood lived in New Orleans, where her
husband had been extensively engaged
in business, though he died many years
before the breaking out OF the war. Mrs.
Wood was made to suffer severely through
out the trying times Of the rebellion, the
claim for return Of the money in question
being the result OF raid on the Bank
of Louisiana, on August II, 1868, and
the seizure OF the entire amount on de
post by the Federal troops.
The amount now claimed by Mrs Wood
was on deposit by her in cold, hard cash,
wnen, on the morning of August II, 1858,
Cant. J. W. Mcclure, assistant quarter
master of the Department. OF the Gulf, under
military ORDER No. 202. promulgated by
Gen Banks, seized the money in the bank,
including the deposit OF Mrs Wood This
money was turned over TO Col. Holabird,
chief uuartermaster OF the Department
OF the Gulf, who receipted TO the United
States Treasury therefor.
Mrs. Wood is the mother of Capt q. w
Wood, who was on the staff Of Gen. Her
bert. The claim has been before Congress
for many years. Capt. Wood said To rep
resentative of the American yesterday that
it always successfully passed the Senate,
but when it reached the House 1t appar-
entity died. 1t was first introduced in the
Senate and passed that body on March l6,
1885. having been presented and urged by
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. 1t has
been up almost every successive term OF
Congress since then.
Mrs. Wood not only had her money
taken, but when Gen. Butler was in New
Orleans her cotton presses were used for
barracks and badly damaged. She gave
two of her sons to the Confederate ser
vice-Capt. g. W. Wood, with whom she
resides at No. 100 Eutaw Place, and one
who was killed at Shiloh. Mrs. Wood.
though eighty-nine years of age, is stil
active and possessed OF all her faculties.

pared to grant them committee or the

Nationalists on it to put awkward ques-

Thirteen Grave Mistakes,

To yield to immateriaI trifles.
To look for perfection in our own actions
To endeavor TO mold all dispositions
alike.
To expect uniformity Of opinion in this
world
Toexpect to be able to understand every
thing
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To look for judgment and experience in
youth.
To measure the enjoyment of others by
our own.
Not to make allow ances for the in
firTnities of others.
To- worry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remedied
To consider everything impossible that
we cannot perform
Not TO alleviate all that needs alienation,
as far as lies in our power.
Itis a great mistake TO set up your own
standard of right and wrong, and iudgs
people accordingly. y.-PhiIadelphia Record

TRAMPS' DESPERATE DEED.
Man shot, Robbed and Thrown From
a Freight Train.

Wiliialnsport, Pa, March 27.-James
Trutt. q hridge-buildeT OF this city, had n
terrible experience with two tramps last
night. Yesterday he finished job, ard
was paid off, after which he boarded a
freight train for WilliamSport. Two men,
who saw him receive the money, also
Jumped into the car Nothing unusual &C
Cured until the train had passed Herndon,
when one of the men advanced toward
Trutt. with a revolver in each hand, and
commanded him to throw up his hands.
Trutt was taken completely by surprise,
but tried TO parley with the man. lie was
answered by a shot from revolver and
a bullet entered his left arm, while the
other desperate struck him on the back
OF the head with a club, knocking him
senseless.
When he came to he was in doctor =
office at Herndon. He had been found
living on the railroad track by track
walker. who pulled him off the rails justin
time to prevent him from being cut To
pieces by an eastbound passenger train.
All his money had been stolen, and it was
evident that after going through his pock-
cts the desperadoes had thrown their un-
conscious and helpless victim out Of the car,
and on the railroad tracks, expecting a
passing train to complete the work which
they had begun.

IMPAIRING CORBETI'S CASE.
Ex-senator Mitcheli's Statement Re.
garding Oregon Legislature.

Ex-senator Mitchell. of Oregon. has not
his seat by the statements he has made to
individual members of the Committee on
Privileyes and Elections. who have dis
cussed the case with him. In view of the
manifestation OF renewed interest in this
ca sc by some members OF the committee
Mr. Mitchelrs statements are important.
II does not appear that Mr.. Mitchell de-
sires to defeat Mr.. Corbett. but his state
ments VIII go a long way toward IL.
Senator Mitchell says that both houses OF
the Oregon legislature were fully and for
mally organized, and that they chose first
temporary and then permanent officers
This made a Legislature in fact, according
TO Senator Mitchell, and il ,hat fact is es-
tablshed. OF course, all hope OF admitting
Corbett must be abandoned.
The contention of the friends of ex-
Senator Corbett has been that there never
was a legitimate organization of the Ore
gon legislature and that the legislature,
never having been actually equipped 70
elect a Senator, it cannot be said to have
undertaken or TO have refused to elect d
Senator.
There are some Indications that Mr..
Mitchell will not be at all brUken-hearted
if ex-senator Corbctt fails to get in. The
latter was not friend OF Mitchell in The
late contest. In fact, they have been po-
iitical antagonists for many years. CoTbett
beat Mitchell for Senator in 1867, and
Mitchell returned the compliment in 1873.
Whatever Senator Mitchell s motives are in
his present statement of the late conditions
at Salem, tits quite apparent that his ac-
count Of the situation will tend to embarrass
Mr.. Corbett's chances OF admission.
