PENSIONERS
No DiminutiOn In the Number Receiving
Aid Prom Uncle Sam.
SEVEN REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS
And the Daughters Of Nine Revolutionary
Soldiers Still on the Roils-During
Past Year 80, 1O1 New Pension
ers We're ~Added-1,971
Restored.

washington, Nov. 6.-The first an
nual report of Commissioner of PEN
slons II. Clay Evans was made public
yesterday. A summary follows:
There were added to the rolls dur
ing the year the names of 50,101 new
pensioners, and there were restored
to the rolls 3,971 pensioners who had
been previously dropped, a total of
54,072. During the same period the
losses to the roll were 81, 1850 by death,
1,074 by remarriage Of widows and
mothers, 1,S45 by legal limitations (mi-
nors), 1853 for failure to claim PEN
sion for three years, and 1850 for other
causes, an aggregate of 41,122.
The whole number Of pensioners on
the rolls June 30, 1897 was 976,014. The
net gain over the previous year was
$3.50. 1t viii HUI be seen hat the
pension roll has not yet begun to show
any "diminution, though it has been an
ticipated by former commissioners that
such would be the fact.
Seven widows Of revolutionary SOL
diers and nine daughters Of revolution
airy soldiers are still on the rolls. Dur
ing the year 94,454 pension certificates
were issued, Of which number 50,1O1
were original allowances and the bal
ance We're reissues, increases, restora-
lions, renewals, etc. OF this number
1851 certificates Of various classes
were held in this bureau until July 1,
1897, and are accordingly not credited
to the past fiscal year.
During the same period 1924 claims
Of various classes were disallowed.
This number, however, does not in
clude claims which were made for
higher rates Of pension.
The amount disbursed for pensions
by the pension agents during the year
was $1S9, 1893, 242.12, and the amount dis
bursed by the treasury settlement was
$3.50, 475.23, a total of 1888, $40, 7l7.35. This
exceeds the amount disbursed during
the fiscal year 1896 by the sum of ST.,
6s4, 48O.1S. If the 1851 certificates
which, as before stated, were held in
this bureau Until July 1, 1897, had been
mailed to the pension agents during
the fiscal year they would have re-
quired first payments amounting to
81, 191, 694, besides the additional annual
value, which would also have been a
charge upon the appropriation. This
amount, added to that actually dis
bursed, makes an aggregate of $141,-
$50, 1856. The appropriation for the pay
ment Of pensions for the fiscal year
1897 was only $l4O,O 600, 600,
The commissioner says: "I am still
pf the opinion that the reduction and
consolidation of the pension agencies
at this time Is not only unnecessary
but inexpediept," In conclusion, the
report recommends the publication of a
complete list Of pensioners and the
passage Of a law to the end that nc
pension be granted to the widow OF
any soldier that shall marry hereafter

PERSISTENT
CREDITORS
The Gases Against Tabor and SzydlOw-
ski Drag Along.
TIME AND MONEY NO OBJECT.
Counsel For the Creditors Bring the Lines
of Examination Down to Fine Points.
Even sausages Are Disseoted,
Figuratively, in the Search
For froof Of Fronts.

As a fountain of news the cases Of Armour
& Co., Swift & Co., etc, against Chief Bur
CESS Tabor and Mrs. Justyna Sz%ydlowski
have about run dry, although the suits are
still dragging along and witnesses are being
examined at intervals of five or six days in
behalf of the creditors.
Disinterested parties who have been giving
the case occasional attention seem to agree in
the opinion that, while the creditors nave
not succeeded in unearthing sufficient evil
dence to sustain their attachments on the
property Tabor sold to Mrs. Szydlowski,
they have made a display that should be ac-
cepted as an example by people having deal
ings with the companies who are the
creditors in the cases. II is quite
evident that the creditors intend to turn up
side down everything they can get hold Of to
see that the sale made by Tabor was as he
declares it was, bona ide. And in doing this
hundreds of dollars are being spent, with
the promise of an expenditure Of much
more, as the counsel for the creditors nave
declared the intention of pushing the iuYes-
tigation 10 Baltimore and other places. A
gentleman who has been watching tho cases
through curiosity remarked yesterday that it
was quite evident that if the beef trusts
should lose $1O,O 900 or 100000 they can afford
to spend as much more in efforts to prove
fraud or bring about SOM turn in their favor.
Nearly the entire session yesterday was
taken up in the examination Of Mrs. Sgd
lowski's husband and he was required to pro-
duce all his bills and books to
show every purchase and sale he made
during the month of last November
and give the profit he made on each sale.
The object of this examination, the counsel
for creditors stated, was to use the figures to
show that Szydlowski could not have made
as much money in this town as he claimed,
and that Mrs. Szydlowski did not have suf-
fcient mony with which to buy out Tabor.
The examination was directed to the most
minute detail. For instance, he was asked
a string of questions similar to thei What
did that meat cost? How many pounds Of
sausage did it makeY What did these castings
cost What did the pepper and spices. &C.,
you put in It COST How much did you sell
it for2 How much waste was there2 What
was your profit
That's getting down to a pretty fine
point" remarked a spectator yesterday after
noon.

H VOTE ANALYZED.
Shenandoah Makes a Good Showing for
the Republican Candidates.

Shenandoah Makes a Good Showing for
the Republican Candidates..
The mathematician of the Pottsviilc Re
publican gives a very plausible statement of
where the losses in votes occurred on Tues
day last, which looks all right until you
analyze it. Then its weakness is so glaring
that it becomes apparent that the mathema-
tician would like to ppt some one in a hole,
to use a colloquial term.
We have neither tho time nor the space to
call attention to any but the alleged loss of
343 votes which he charges to Shenandoah,
and which, after a most diligent search, we
have been unable TO locate. According to the
returns Shenandoah cast l775 votes for
Orphans Court Judge in 1895, of which Lyon
received 729 and Dunn 1916, while on Tues
day Albright received 631 and Toole 1lO9 and
Payne IS, a total Of l745.
As tho vote this year was 30 less than two
years ago and Albright ran 9s votes behind
Lyon, the loss to the Republican party in this
town can be charged against US as 6s, just
275 less than the Republicans mathematician
too generously charges US with.
Again, taking the figures by wards, Al
bright's vote showed a loss as compared with
Lyons, of 0 in the First ward, 10 in the
Third, and 80 in the Fourth and 40 in the
Fifth, while in the Second Albright received
IL more than Lyon.
As ToOle and his supporters counted upon
800 to 700 majority for him, Shenandoah is
entitled to credit for keeping the majority as
low as it was, instead of having jnggled-up
figures charged 70 us. While all the Repub.
licap towns in the county shoYa large slump
in the vote Shenandoah should be given
proper credit instead Of being held up as an
example and to let out snarl at the followers
Of Senator Quay.

lies dead at his home in Boston Run, having
been killed by the Philadelphia express
train on the Philadelphia and Reading rail

train, northbound. Lyons made a sudden
leap and escaped, but Mitchell was struck.
He was picked up unconscious and died soon
A small cut on the back Of the head
and another on the left side Of the body were
the only marks Of injury that could be
found. 1t is stated that death was due to
