THE ROLLS ARE PADDED.
Startling Array of Figures Pre-.
scented by Statistics.

New York, dec. 20-The Sun to lay
prints under formidable headlines, un~
qualified charges of the grossest pension
frauds. Statistics ARE given to show that
not only are the pension rolls padded be-
yond belief, but with $4,000 applicants
still clamoring for admission and Con
gressional schemes for "further robbery
at every session, the Government gen
erosity is likely to be still further bur-
dened. Bounty, jumpers and deserters,
fake widows and orphans, anu cheats and
swindlers Of all classes are said to be rep
resented on the pension rolls.
''Witlt q pension roll aggregating the
enormous total of 976, Ola" the Sun says,
othere are still 57S,099 clamoring for
pensions or increases in pensions already
being paid, and the crowd was increasing
at the rate of 5000 week at the time of
the last report of the commissioner of
pensions. Last year, thirty-two years
after the close of the war, %, 072 Of these
claimants gained admission. More are
getting in every day. More will get in
every day until a reform benins at the
very root. 1t is in altogether friendly
tion's bounty, and to those who, entitled
to that bounty, have never yet received
it. that the truth is here set forth"
The last census and other official re-
ports are quoted to show that there are
now S13,639 survivors or widows who
might be entitled to pensions assuming
that they are all disabled or dependent in
whole or in part, an assumption ridicu-
lous in itself.
OF the survivors alone there were in
1890, 1884 ,073. Deductng 1855, 341 who
have died, which includes an estimate for
six months of the present year, and 121, =
COG deserters and emergency men, it will
be seen that there are of actual survivors
to-day 1877. 122 who might be entitled to
pension.
The total Of pensioners on account Of
the war, according to the report of the
pensioner commissioner, is lat, 542. of
which 1850 are children and 81, $50 are
dependent fathers, mothers, sisters or
brothers Deducting these from the to
tai, there remain S54, ia survivors and
widows drawing pensions, or 40, 745 more
Survivors" and widows" than there
are actual survivors and widows who,
under any circumstt uces, could legally
draw pensions
From 1878, when the general pension
law was passed, to the present day." says
the Sun, mot a law providing for pen
sions has beer repealed. Scarcely SEES
sion has passed when new laws, appropri-
ating more money, have not been put in
the book.

of them, and it requires /. book of 1872
pages to accom- odate them. OF the 37S,-

whose presence of mind saved the Italians
when. the mob rushed to lynch them. told
what he saw. He was accidentally pass
ing on a trolley car when he saw a mob of
hoodiums trying to seize the Italians.
They shouted, Lynch the dagoes! Lynch
the -p' and he, Mr.. West,
rushed to a signal box and gave an alarm.
With Policeman Nick Walsh he dragged
the Italians to the box M then a squad
of officers came up. He did not see the
shooting, but some one leading a wound
ed man away.
Patrolman Wa1sh's testimony was main
" c~orroborative of the Commissioners.
The officer rescued the Italians from
the hands of a brutal mol and a eowardly
bu1nptious sheriff,s deputy, who struck
Masterli in the face with his clinched
fist for no other reason thar because
Masterli was a little fellow and couldn't

REARDoN CATCHES A sOoROHER
Exciting Race on the Boulevard Be-
tween Horse and W eel.

Sergeant Reardon of the Ocean avenue
station house had a lively chase after a
scorcher on the Boulevard last night
about fine O'Clock. The Sergeant was
out driving a very spirited animal. When
he reached McAdoo avenue a couple OF
young fellows passed him on bicycles at
a very rapid rate. Reardon thought they
were going too fast and shouted at them
to slacken their speed, at the same time
urging his horse on. The fellows paid
no attention to the ~Sergeant's call to stop
ana continued to peddle along very fast.
Reardon's horse by this time was going
pretty fast, too, but not enough to over
take the scorclers.
Touching the animal with the whip
made him increase his speed, and the
people along the Boulevard were treated
to a very pretty race between Reardon's
horse and the bicyclers. Previous to this
the bicyclers had IN easy time beating
horses. but Reardon ~triumphed this time,
and overlook his men at Neptune ave-
nue., where the scorehers had turned out
to escape the Sergeant. Reardon arrest
ed one of the ~scorchers, and took his pris-
oner to the station house, where he gave
his name as Adolph Loud, aged is years.

HERMAN LUDWIG MISSING.
His wife and Two children Much
Dfstrrssed at His Absence,

The wife and two children of Herman
Ludwig, of No. 81 Blocker street, who,
as told in 'sThe News left his home on
Thursday last and has not been heard
of nor seen since, are much distressed.
They are unable to account for his abb
sence in any way end fear some misfor-
tune has oyertaken him. Mrs. Ludwig
said to a News" reporter yesterday.
II cannot account for my husband con-
tinued absence without sending me word.
We had no quarrel, not even a word of
disagreement. At one o'clock he left
the house after kissing us good-by, say
ing, he was going to- a New York i~nstitu-
ton for the treatment of his eyes, to
which HI had been recommended by our
family physician. When he reached the
ferry he sent me a bouquet and a box of
fcandies, since which time we have heard
from hin.eI have hunted through
all the institutions of New York and the
n-eighboring4 cities where the treatment of
eye diseases is made q speciality. and
have notified the police Of the different
cities or his disappearance, and have fur
nished them with a description OF my hus-
band, but have yet received no clue to his
whereabouts We are much worried over
the matter, but do not know what more
we can do

H0B0KEN'S STEP CHILDREN.
That's what DR.. Heller Calls I'M
Board of Health.

The members of the Hoboken Health
Board held a brief session, yesterday
afternoon, in the City Hall. In the
absence of President Steadman, DR.. S. A.
Heller, acted as chairman pro tenn. The
board passed the claim of the New York
and New Jersey Telephone Co., of $42.7 IS,
for telephone services. AT the last meet
ing of the Board the payment Of the bill
was deferred as the Commissioners labor
ed under the impression that they were
to get telephone service free in accord
ance with the conditions of the franchise
given by the Council, which provided that
the city was to get free service. The
Commissioners have since ascertained
that their board was not included in the
agreement.
The Council left us out in the cold"
mournfully remarked Commissioner Hell
fer, 1--WE are only s~tep-children of the
city government"
Edward F.. Leber, of No. 1928 Bloomfield
street, Hoboken, wrote a letter to the
board in which he made some startling
disclosures of the manner in which Public
Bath Keeper Oscar Schlichting conducts
the free bath. Mr.. Leber stated that his
son QUO, Ia years ola, went 10 the pdtu
one morning to take a swim and he came
and told his father that the bath keeper
threw him out and told him the bath
was only for .sshop" boys, and further
more abused him in an ungentlemanly
manner. Mr.. Leber also stated that
another son, Richard, q years old, was
treated 'tdiscourteously in al uncivilized
and arbitrary STYLE Mr.. Leber closed
by Offering names of DR.. G. Irving Simp-
son, Palmer Campbell and the Rev.
Archdeacon William r. Jenvey as gentle
men who would vouch for his character"
The public path is not in the Jurisdiction
of the Health Board and Mr.. Leber's
complaint will be referred to the Common
Council.
The ordinance prohibiting the sale OF
SKINNED and adulterated milk came up
for it's its final reading, but was laid
over until the next meeting to give GER
tain milk dealers who do not approve OF
it an opportunity to state their obJec-
tions. The ordinance prohibits the sale
of SKINNED milk, and was drawn up at
the suggestion of a score of milk dealers.
II understand" said DR.. Heller, that
Alex. Young objects to the ordinance, put
/ guess it is only one of his bluffs
After passing the usual claims the
board Adjourned.

News Of the Wheelmen-
Live Bird Shoot.

The Woodwards had an easy time de-
feating the Bostons in the game they
played. There was no doubt from the
first as to the result. Neefus pitched the
losing game and was hit twice as often
as King, the Woodwards' twirler- WIFI
kander made the heaviest hit of the DAY.
He caught King in an off moment and hit
him nicely over centre field and started
running. He didn't stop until he had
covered three bags. On a base hit by
Neefus he scored. The fielding on both
sides could be improved upon. The Bos-
tons erred at first base and thus enabled
the Woodwards to score. King struck
out nine men, three patches of three, and
Neefus had five strike outs to add to his
average. Scores:- 12
